Transformați prin Duhul lui Hristos 231 Concluzie 232 E P I L O G 235 www.zguduireaadventismului.ro Prefață P R E F A Ţ Ă Din vremea când eram copil, la începutul anilor 1920, părinţii m-au învăţat că Fiul lui Dumnezeu a venit în această lume cu o moştenire fizică asemănătoare cu a oricărui alt copil de pe pământ. Fără să facă mare caz de păcătoşii genealogiei Sale, mi-au vorbit despre Rahav şi de David şi mi-au accentuat că în ciuda trăsăturilor fizice moştenite, Isus a trăit o viaţă desăvârşită în copilărie, în tinereţe şi la maturitate. Ei mi-au spus că El înţelegea ispitele mele deoarece şi El a fost ispitit cum eram eu şi că El îmi va da putere să biruiesc aşa cum a biruit El. Aceasta a făcut o impresie profundă asupra mea, care m-a ajutat să privesc la Isus, nu numai ca Mântuitor, ci şi ca exemplu, şi să cred că prin puterea Sa puteam trăi o viaţă de biruinţă. În anii de mai târziu am înţeles că învăţătura părinţilor mei privitoare la Isus era susţinută de Biblie şi că Ellen White, solul lui Dumnezeu pentru biserica rămăşiţei, a lămurit acest adevăr în nenumărate declaraţii, cum ar fi următoarea: Copiii să-şi aducă aminte că copilul Isus a luat asupra Sa natura omenească, care se asemăna cu natura păcătoasă, şi a fost ispitit de Satana asemenea tuturor copiilor care sunt ispitiţi. El a putut să se împotrivească ispitelor lui Satana prin dependenţa de puterea divină a Tatălui Său ceresc, supunându-Se voinţei Sale şi ascultând de toate poruncile Sale (Youth’s Instructor, 23 august, 1894). Isus se găsea la vârsta în care sunteţi voi acum. El a avut aceleaşi circumstanţe şi aceleaşi gânduri ca ale voastre în această perioadă a vieţii. El nu poate fi indiferent în această perioadă critică prin care treceţi. El vede pericolele prin care treceţi. Este înţelegător cu ispitele voastre (Manuscript Releases, vol.

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 God of Our Fathers
    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.

  • DAY of DESTINY
    DAY of DESTINY THE MYSTERY OF THE SEVENTH DAY By Carsten Johnsen 1982 Carsten Johnson Printed in USA by: US Business Specialties Yucaipa, California 92399 Preface This book was accepted for publication by Review and Herald Publishing Association more than a decade ago. In fact, its acceptance seemed enthusiastic and unanimous. But then, suddenly and unexpectedly, it was dropped. The only reason alleged by the Book Editor of those days, in a letter to the author, was the following: The book was too un-popular to guarantee the sale of at least 5000 copies within a limited period of time, necessary in order to "break even." A couple of years later the manuscript was accepted for publication by Andrews University Press, but again unexpectedly dropped. This time the reason given was: The book was too popular (not sufficiently academic, particularly in its style). The author happens to know some other reasons why the men whose verdict is decisive in matters of this order, will tend to go against the publication of such a book. And the reader will soon understand a good deal--and, by and by, more and more--of the great battle which is here going on. But the more urgent would it seem that the book be made available to a wide group of readers who will be greatly benefited, and pleased, to receive the unusual information it provides regarding some highly controversial topics. You may of course be among those disturbed by an increasing awareness that an unprecedented drama is in the process of shaking the very foundations of our lives in terms of having time-honored and long-cherished beliefs overthrown in circles of serious Bible students from whom you would never have expected it.

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.

  • Tocado Por Nuestros Sentimientos
    TTOOCCAADDOO PPOORR NNUUEESSTTRROOSS SSEENNTTIIMMIIEENNTTOOSS Jean R. Zurcher 1 Prefacio Desde que yo era un niño pequeño, al comienzo de 1920, mis padres me enseñaron que el Hijo de Dios vino a este mundo con la herencia física semejante a la de cualquier otro bebé humano. Sin destacar Su línea de ascendencia de pecadores, ellos me contaron de Raab y David, y enfatizaban que, a pesar de Su herencia física, Jesús vivió una vida perfecta como niño, joven y adulto. Ellos me decían aun que Cristo comprendía mis tentaciones, pues fue tentado como yo, y que deseaba conferirme poder para vencer como El lo hizo. Eso me impresionó profundamente, pues me ayudó a ver a Jesús no apenas como mi Salvador, sino como un ejemplo, y a creer que por Su poder yo podría vivir una vida victoriosa. En años posteriores aprendí que la enseñanza de mis padres con respecto a Jesús estaba bien apoyada en la Biblia, y que Ellen G. White, la mensajera del Señor para la iglesia remanente, dejó clara esa verdad en numerosas declaraciones, como las que siguen a continuación: 2 “Que los niños tengan en mente que el niño Jesús tomó sobre Sí mismo la naturaleza humana, en semejanza de carne pecaminosa, y fue tentado por Satanás como todos los niños lo son. Él fue capaz de resistir a las tentaciones de Satanás a través de la dependencia del divino poder de Su Padre celestial, mientras estuviese sujeto a Su voluntad y obediente a todos Sus mandamientos”. Youth’s Intructor, 23 de Agosto de 1894. “Jesús tuvo vuestra edad.
