Box 51264 Eugene, OR, 97405, USA www.APLib.org Published in the USA February, 2021 ISBN: 978-1-61455-103-4 Lest We ForgetW Inspiring Pioneer Stories Adventist Pioneer Library 4 | Lest We Forget Endorsements and Recommendations Kenneth Wood, (former) President, Ellen G. White Estate —Because “remembering” is es- sential to the Seventh-day Adventist Church, the words and works of the Adventist pioneers need to be given prominence. We are pleased with the skillful, professional efforts put forth to accom- plish this by the Pioneer Library officers and staff. Through books, periodicals and CD-ROM, the messages of the pioneers are being heard, and their influence felt. We trust that the work of the Adventist Pioneer Library will increase and strengthen as earth’s final crisis approaches. C. Mervyn Maxwell, (former) Professor of Church History, SDA Theological Semi- nary —I certainly appreciate the remarkable contribution you are making to Adventist stud- ies, and I hope you are reaching a wide market.... Please do keep up the good work, and may God prosper you. James R. Nix, (former) Vice Director, Ellen G. White Estate —The service that you and the others associated with the Adventist Pioneer Library project are providing our church is incalculable To think about so many of the early publications of our pioneers being available on one small disc would have been unthinkable just a few years ago. I spent years collecting shelves full of books in the Heritage Room at Loma Linda University just to equal what is on this one CD-ROM. And now anyone can have access to the same information, and be able to research it in a fraction of the time it would take to look the same thing up in all those original volumes.... May God continue to bless you and the others in your very specialized ministry is my prayer.

Though it is God who changes people, the early Adventists employed specific spiritual practices to place themselves in His presence. Research revealed five main spiritual disciplines that shaped the Advent leaders and by extension the church. The first is Bible study: placing the Holy Scriptures as the foundation for all beliefs. The second is prayer: communication and communion with God.

ABSTRACT THE ORIGIN, DEVELOPMENT, AND HISTORY OF THE NORWEGIAN SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH FROM THE 1840s TO 1887 by Bjorgvin Martin Hjelvik Snorrason Adviser: Jerry Moon ABSTRACT OF GRADUATE STUDENT RESEARCH Dissertation Andrews University Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary Title: THE ORIGIN, DEVELOPMENT, AND HISTORY OF THE NORWEGIAN SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH FROM THE 1840s TO 1887 Name of researcher: Bjorgvin Martin Hjelvik Snorrason Name and degree of faculty adviser: Jerry Moon, Ph.D. Date completed: July 2010 This dissertation reconstructs chronologically the history of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Norway from the Haugian Pietist revival in the early 1800s to the establishment of the first Seventh-day Adventist Conference in Norway in 1887. The present study has been based as far as possible on primary sources such as protocols, letters, legal documents, and articles in journals, magazines, and newspapers from the nineteenth century. A contextual-comparative approach was employed to evaluate the objectivity of a given source. Secondary sources have also been consulted for interpretation and as corroborating evidence, especially when no primary sources were available. The study concludes that the Pietist revival ignited by the Norwegian Lutheran lay preacher, Hans Nielsen Hauge (1771-1824), represented the culmination of the sixteenth- century Reformation in Norway, and the forerunner of the Adventist movement in that country.

    The Truth About Seventh-Day Adventism Part 1

    Martin, The Truth About Seventh-Day Adventism, Part 1 The Truth About Seventh-Day Adventism 1 Walter R. Martin Part 1: Its Historical Development from Christian Roots Seventh-day Adventism, as a religious movement, sprang from the great second advent “awakening” which shook the religious world toward the middle of the nineteenth century. During this particular period of theological development, speculation relative to the second advent of Jesus Christ had been rampant on the continent of Europe, and it was not long before the European prophetic scheme of interpretation bridged the Atlantic and penetrated American theological circles. Based largely upon the books of Daniel and Revelation (both apocalyptic), advent theology became a topic of conversation discussed in newspapers as well as theological journals; in short, New Testament eschatological study suddenly competed with current stock market quotations for front-page space, and the “seventy weeks,” “twenty-three hundred days,” and “the abomination of desolation” (see Daniel 8-9) became common subjects of conversation. Following the chronology of Archbishop Ussher and interpreting the twenty-three hundred days of Daniel as literal years, many Bible students of various faiths concluded that Christ would come back near or about the year 1843. Of this studious number was one William Miller, a Baptist minister and resident of Low Hampton, New York, who arrived at the final date, October 22, 1844, as the time when Jesus Christ would return for His saints and usher in judgment upon sin, culminating in the establishment of the Kingdom of God upon earth. The great second advent movement, which was to sweep the United States particularly in the early 1840’s, stemmed from the activities of this William Miller, who confidently taught, beginning in the year 1818, that in “about” twenty-five years from that date, i.e.

Key Text - Ephesians 2:19-22 Introduction - Before going on to a study of the history of the Church of God, its doctrines, its personages, publications, churches, and conferences, let us consider the question, “What is the Church of God?" Our answers may have a bearing on its history. I - A Definition of the Church A. "Church, ekklesia, the common term for a meeting of the ekkletoi (those summoned) to discuss the affairs of a Free State, the body of citizens summoned together by a herald. The LXX transfers the term to the assembly of ‘the people of Israel,' whether summoned or meeting for a definite purpose (1 Kings 8:65), or considered as the representative of the entire nation. In the N.T. it denotes the redeemed community in its two-fold aspect. (1.) The entire community of all who are called by and to Christ out of the world, the Church universal, (2.) every Church in which the character of the Church as a whole is seen in miniature. The summoning is expressed by the latter part of the word, and out of by the first part...." -- Bullinger's Lexicon. II - The Church of God in its Twofold Aspect A. The church universal. 1.

    0 The God of Our Fathers This manuscript is designed to be a catalyst for further personal study By Kelvin D Cobbin 1 The God of Our Fathers An intriguing look into the emergence of the trinity doctrine within the Seventh-Day Adventist Church Great changes to an organisation are usually long and protracted and in many cases are often undetected, except to those responsible for instigating the change. Throughout this paper I have endeavoured to give an accurate account of the most significant theological shift to have ever taken place in the Seventh-Day Adventist Church. There has been a considerable amount of material written in regards to this change from those endeavouring to justify the change, and on the other hand, those who are disturbed with the change and feel that not only was it unjustified but it has plunged the church and its future into jeopardy. It is my intention to put together a compelling account, from historical records, from biblical evaluation, and from the prophet to the remnant to show that this change was indeed the most extraordinary shift of fundamental belief within the history of our Denomination. There’s a promise from God to Israel in Isa 42:16 which I believe is for just such a time “...I will make darkness light before them and crooked things straight...” BBBibleBible quotes from the King James Version 2 TTTheThheehe GGooGodGoddd ooffof OOuurrOur FFaatthheerrssFathers FFoorrwwaarrddForward It was in 1996 that I was first challenged to take another look at the doctrine of the trinity which, I thought, could be clearly supported from the Bible.

PREFACE TO THE FIFTH EDITION. The Lord has been pleased to own the testimony of this little volume to the truth of His pre-millennial advent, far beyond any expectation of the measure of its acceptance, at the time it was written. Sent forth in much weakness, it has led many to study the teach¬ ings of His own word; and thus having learned to “love his appearing,” (2 Tim. iv: 8), they are now eagerly “looking for that blessed hope,” (Tit. ii: 13). Again is it sent forth with the prayer that He will graciously use it still more, to awaken the attention of His beloved ones to the last promise that fell from His lips, “ Surely I come quickly,” and to call forth from their hearts the longing response, “ Even so, come, Lord Jesus,” (Rev. xxii: 20).

WHY LITERAL SACRIFICES IN THE MILLENNIUM Tom's Perspectives by Thomas Ice A common objection to the consistent literal interpretation of Bible prophecy is found in Ezekiel’s Temple vision (Ezek. 40—48). Opponents argue that if this is a literal, future Temple, then it will require a return to the sacrificial system that Christ made obsolete since the prophet speaks of “atonement” (kiper) in Ezekiel 43:13, 27; 45:15, 17, 20. This is true! Critics believe this to be a blasphemous contradiction to the finished work of Christ as presented in Hebrews 10. Hank Hanegraaff says that I have “exacerbated the problem by stating that without animal sacrifices in the Millennium, Yahweh’s holiness would be defiled. That, for obvious reasons, is blasphemous.” He further says that such a view constitutes a return “to Old Covenant sacrifices.”1 “Is it heretical to believe that a Temple and sacrifices will once again exist,” ask John Schmitt and Carl Laney? “Ezekiel himself believed it was a reality and the future home of Messiah.

THE ROLE OF WOMEN IN LEADERSHIP POSITIONS WITHIN THE SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH Submitted by John G. Beach In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements of CH 570 History of the Seventh-day Adventist Church Andrews University Theological Seminary Dr. C. Mervyn Maxwell, Professor May 26, 1971 • PREFACE The primary purpose of this paper in its inception was to determine how women have been used as leaders in the Seventh-day Adventist denomination with special emphasis on departmental women in the General Conference. This required selecting specific Review and Herald articles connected with - I.' General Conference meetings. These included the special issues of the Review and Herald Daily Bulletins, the Yearbook, and General Conference Bulletins when these began to be published. Since this is a slow, tedious process, only a span of twenty-five years was covered in depth in this manner, that is, from 1863 to 1889. Even here, state and local conference positions were igonored and the emphasis was on the larger work field. Subsequent to the 1889 General Conference bulletins, the Seventh-day Adventist Encyclopedia was used to determine those women who for one reason or another were worthy enough to be considered in a historical setting. The other reference used extensively was Arthur W. SpaldIngis, Origin and History of Seventh-day Adventists. These sources provided the basis for the historical study of women in the church. to In addition/these historical reference sources, the writings of Ellen G. White in manuscript and published works were consulted to determine her basic position on women in the work.
