  • Toward an Adventist Theological Agenda: Some 21St-Century1 Realities
    Toward an Adventist Theological Agenda: Some 21st-Century1 Realities Adventist theology is not tied to the 19th or 20th century; it can take full account of current realities—recognizing them for what they are, acknowledging their implications, and avoiding wishful thinking. “Age will not make error into truth,” our prophet said 116 years ago, “and truth can afford to be fair.”2 Furthermore, “God never asks us to believe, without giving sufficient evi- dence upon which to base our faith.”3 There is no reason for Adventist belief to be naïve, and good reason for it to be alert, thoughtful, and self-critical. This identifies six current, theologically relevant realities. It begins with the basic fact of theological change, proceeds to the nature of Biblical revelation and to scientific knowledge in general, and then on to natural history, human physicality, and the eschatological future. I. The Reality of Theological Change The historic Adventist idea of “present truth”4 affirms the need for theological develop- ment, and Adventist history confirms the actuality of that development.5 So a major and continu- ing task of Adventist theologians and other scholars who think about the meanings of things is to suggest ways of better understanding and expressing Adventist belief. For nearly 120 years we have known that “whenever the people of God are growing in grace, they will be constantly ob- taining a clearer understanding of His Word. This has been true in the history of the church in all ages, and thus it will continue to the end.”6 As each generation stands on the shoulders of it‟s theological parents, it sees things they could not have seen.

  • Ellen White on Confrontation with Evil Spiritual Powers
    Coleman: Ellen White on Confrontation with Evil Spiritual Powers MARC COLEMAN Ellen White on Confrontation with Evil Spiritual Powers The writings of Ellen White substantiate the reality of the spiritual struggle waged by human beings against devils and demons. This paper will demonstrate that Ellen White viewed the battle against sin and un- righteousness in life as not just a mere inward struggle, but as a very real battle described by her as the Great Controversy between Christ and Satan that also involved very real battles between people and Satan and evil spir- its. What is less well understood by modern readers is her understanding of the dimensions of this conflict in the everyday lives of believers and how to confront these spirits when such conflicts spill into the realm of the tangible. Finally, it concludes with her counsels on how humans are to wage spiritual warfare against the agency of evil spirits. This brief survey of her writings, although not comprehensive, seeks in a few words to elu- cidate the major lines of thought in Ellen White’s comprehension of these aspects of spiritual warfare. Spiritual Warfare, the Context A consistent and persistent theme in her writings is the overarching idea of the Great Controversy. This is the backdrop, the framework for the problem of sin and people’s life and death battle against Satan and his angels. In The Story of Redemption she spends considerable time develop- ing Satan’s deeply laid plot to overthrow the purity and innocence of the human race and gain control of the planet over which they had dominion.

  • V CHAPTER 13 - the Victory
    V CHAPTER 13 - The Victory Ellen White's readers are aware of her fondness for three themes, the great controversy betwen Christ and Satan, the saving ministry of Jesus Christ, and sanctification, or the victorious life of the Christian. All three of these favorite subjects are presented in the topic of chapter 13, "The Victory." The temptation of Christ in the wilderness is surely to be understood as a presentation of the conflict of the ages. The hunger and deprivation endured by Jesus speak to the humiliation of his incarnation. His victory over the temptations through faith in God and reliance on His word serve as the model for victorious Christian living in a world where Christ's foes still seek to defeat His followers. It will come as no surprise, then, to find that Ellen White often touched on the theme of Christ's temptations. The Desire of Ages gives two full chapters to this subject. Our research index on the content of chapter 13 which covers the second and third temptations contains over 60 references to the same. Ellen White's first presentation of the subject in SG took 41 sentences. A series of early articles in The Review and Herald of 1874 on the temptations of Christ may be read today in Selected Messages I, pages 271-289.1 The Spirit of Prophecy, chapter VI, coverage of the last two temptations took 60 sentences. 1These articles appeared in the August 4, 18, and 123 The Victory The textual tradition behind chapter 13 includes manuscripts and letters, testimonies, and articles in the various journals of the Adventist church.

    3 3C Our Firm Foundation A Report of the Seventh-day Adventist Bible Conference Held September 1-13, 1952, in The Sligo Seventh-day Adventist Church Takoma Park, Maryland VOLUME I 7C 7C 1C REVIEW and HERALD PUBLISHING ASSOCIATION WASHINGTON, D.C. COPYRIGHT, 1953, BY TFW REVIEW AND HERALD PUBLISHING ASSOCIATION PRINIED IN THE U.S.A. Preface This book, with its companion volume, is the result of the 1952 Bible Conference that was held in the Sligo Seventh- day Adventist church in Takoma Park, Washington, D.C., September -13. For several years the need for such a Bible Conference had become more and more apparent. Our early history reveals the importance of the 1848 Bible Conferences, for it was in those early meetings con- ducted by our pioneers that a Seventh-day Adventist system of theology was brought forth. The very foundations of our teachings were laid carefully and wisely by that group of earnest, devout lovers of God and lovers of God's Word. The Bible was their only rule of faith and practice. Like Martin Luther of old, those diligent students of Scripture planted their feet firmly upon the Rock of Ages. A "Thus saith the Lord" became the password which opened before that group an avenue that led to the great heart and mind of God. During the century of our denominational existence other Bible conferences were held, though not so frequently as at first, when the foundations were being laid. The last such conference was held in 1919, and many members of the great Advent movement have felt the need of again coming together, not to find the new and the sensational, but rather to examine our theological thinking and to test the strength of our spiritual foundations.
