YAHUSHUA HA MASHIACH'S (JESUS CHRIST'S) MESSAGE TO LEADERS OF THE SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH.

THIS MESSAGE WAS FIRST SENT OUT IN 2004 . AMENDED 2008


EXCERPT 15


THE SDA CHURCH IS TOO EXCLUSIVE, TOO PREJUDICED AND TOO CRITICAL!!

The SDA Church has isolated herself from others in My body. This is because she considers herself to be the “remnant” . . . which keep the commandments of (Elohim) God, and have the testimony of (Yahushua Ha Mashiach) Jesus Christ (Rev. 12: 17).

In addition, she believes that because she goes to church on the Seventh-Day Sabbath, she is the only Church that is important to Me, Yahushua, and the only Church which will be saved by Me. Thus she isolates herself from all other Christians who are not Seventh-Day Adventists and considers them to be lost souls. She refuses to associate with other Christians and firmly believes that “other sheep” which John 10: 16 refers to, will have to join her.

Satan has deceived and blinded the SDA Church with his lies and she has succumbed to those lies. Thus she fails to see that I have no LONE RANGER!! Out of My love for the human race, I, Yahushua, willingly shed My blood for all mankind. Therefore, the SDA Church should know and understand and be fully aware that she is not the only one in My Body who will be saved in My Kingdom of Glory. Were this the case, My blood would have been shed in vain!! Moreover, I would be a greater Liar than Satan himself because My words would all be lies and I would be lying upon My Own self.

Had the Church studied Scriptures and believed My Word, she would have known just how much I regard those whom I gave up My throne in Heaven and came and died to save. NO ONE WILL BE SAVED IN THE KINGDOM OF GLORY BY KEEPING THE LAW, BY THE DAY ON WHICH THEY WORSHIP, OR BY THEIR WORKS!!

It must be understood that no one on earth is given the assignment to decide who will be saved and who will be lost. Neither can anyone make the false claim that the Kingdom of Glory is reserved for them alone. Instead, it must be known that ALL WHO ARE SAVED IN MY ETERNAL KINGDOM OF GLORY, WILL BE SAVED BY ME, YAHUSHUA, THEIR SAVIOUR. The following Scriptures point out some of the ways people are saved in My kingdom:

• John 3:16. Those who believe on Me will have everlasting life.

• Romans 10: 9,10: They must confess with their own mouths that I am their Adonai (Lord) and believe in their hearts that Yahweh raised Me from the dead.

• Romans 10:13: Those who call upon My Name.

• Mark 16:16. Those who believe on Me, Yahushua, and are baptised

• John 6:36. All those who come to Me, Yahushua, I will not cast out.

• Ephesians 2:8. My followers are saved by grace through faith, which is My gift to them.

• Matthew 24:13. Those who endure to the end.

• Romans 8:1. Those who receive Me, Yahushua, as Saviour are not under condemnation.

Leaders, you are the appointed leaders. Therefore, along with the ministers in the field, YOU MUST STUDY MY WORD AND TEACH THE TRUGH OF WHAT IS WRITTEN!! Therefore, NO LONGER SHOULD THE MEMBERS OF THE CHURCH BE KEPT IN DARKNESS!! In Hosea 4:6, it is recorded:
“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee.”

To avoid this passage of Scripture being fulfilled on her, the Church must humble herself and allow the Ruach Ha Kodesh to lead, teach, instruct and guide her in the pathway of truth and righteousness.

THE CHURCH DOES NOT TEACH ABOUT THE TRUE SPIRIT OR THE TRUE SOUL OF MAN!!!

THE SPIRIT, SOUL AND BODY.

This topic, the Spirit, the Soul and the Body is one of the most important topics in My Word. It is important because it has to do with the entire Being of man and the decisions each person makes in his/her life time concerning his/her own spirit, soul and body. It also has to do with the eternal salvation of the spirit and the soul (“the spirit”), or their eternal torment in Hell followed by the Lake of fire and brimstone.

It is important that the members of the SDA Church know and understand that they are not just physical bodies but that they have an independent “spirit” and an independent “soul” which are both spirit beings;

The Church teaches about the physical body; its death and resurrection, as well as it being saved in My kingdom of Glory, for those who are righteous, or its destruction in the lake of fire and brimstone in the Final Judgment for those who are unrighteous.

Unfortunately, THE SDA CHURCH TEACHES ONLY ABOUT THE BODY BUT TEACHES NOTHING ABOUT THE INDEPENDENT, INTELLIGENT SPIRIT AND SOUL OF MAN, THE TRUE PERSON WHICH WE MADE IN OUR IMAGE (Genesis 1:26-31) AND PLACED IN A PHYSICAL BODY TO LIVE LEGALLY HERE UPON THE EARTH.

Her teachings on the true Spirit and Soul do not match up with the Scriptures. Thus her members are ignorant about this vital and important subject. Without knowing it, she has DECEIVED HER MEMBERS and has DONE MUCH INJUSTICE BY FAILING TO TEACH AND ENLIGHTEN THEM ON THIS MOST IMPORTANT SUBJECT IN MY WORD!!


THE CHURCH’S TEACHINGS ON THE NATURE OF MAN AND THE STATE OF THE DEAD IS VERY SHALLOW!!

The teachings on the “Nature of Man and the State of the Dead” in the “Fundamentals of the Seventh-Day Adventist Faith”, are far from what is written in the Holy Scriptures. Like all the Doctrines of the Church which were written by the early pioneers of the Church, this subject remains the same. It has NOT been revised and brought in line with what is written in My Word. There is NO EXCUSE FOR THIS IGNORANCE AND NEGLIGENCE, OR DARKNESS!!

The teaching of the Church on the “Nature of Man and the State of the Dead” are very shallow and superficial and do not make sense or stand any ground.

TEACHINGS OF THE SDA CHURCH ON THE “NATURE OF MAN”!!

In Bible Study No.20 in the “Fundamentals of the Seventh-Day Adventist Faith”, are the following:

Question 1. “How was man made? [Answer] Gen. 2:7. What part was made of dust? [Answer] The body. What was added to the body? [Answer] The breath of life. What resulted? [Answer] The living soul”.

And in the note on Question 1, is written:

“‘The expression, ‘‘living soul’’ as used in Genesis, is often taken to indicate an order of being superior to the brute, and is the text of many an argument to prove the immortality of the soul. The correctness of this assumption will be readily seen in referring to Genesis 1: 20, 21, 24, and elsewhere, in which passages the word translated ‘‘living soul’’ are applied also to the entire lower creation. They are used indifferently of man and beast to express animal life in general; and it is in this light the apostle uses them (1 Cor.15:45), as the very course of his argument shows. Adam is spoken of as a living soul, not to prove his immortality, but rather his mortality.’”

Question 2. “What three parts make up the entire man? 1 Thess. 5: 23”

Question 4. “With this death waiting for each, what is man’s nature? [Answer] Mortal man (Job 4: 17); mortal body (Rom. 6:12); mortal flesh (2 Cor. 4:11)”.

In Note No.2 on this section, is the following:

“Now, ‘‘‘we want to know if this “Soul’’ or ‘‘spirit’’ is immortal. The Hebrew and Greek words from which they are translated ...we enquire if the soul is once immortal or the spirit deathless. And invariable and overwhelming response we meet is, NOT ONCE! Nowhere, though used so many hundred times, is the soul said to be ‘‘undying’’ in its nature, or the spirit ‘‘deathless’’. Strange and unaccountable fact, if immortality is an inseparable attribute of the soul and spirit!’”

Question 5. “To what is this mortal life compared? [Answer] A vapour (James 4: 14); a wind that cometh not again (Psalm 78: 39); a shadow (Job 14:2)”.

Question 6. “How only can mortals have immortal life?[Answer] 2 Tim 1: 10; John 10: 10”.

Question 7. “What then are we to seek? [Answer] Rom. 2:7”.

Question 8. “When will immortality be given ? [Answer]1 Cor. 15: 51-54”.


TEACHINGS OF THE SDA CHURCH ON THE: “ STATE OF THE DEAD” !!

Question 10. “What do all the living know? [Answer] Eccles. 9: 5; Heb. 9:27”.

Question 11. “What change takes place at death? [Answer] Psalm 146:4; Eccles. 9:5, 6; 12:7”.

Question 12. “What can the living do? [Answer] Ps.l46: 2. What cannot the dead do? [Answer] Ps. 115:17; Isa. 38: 18,19”.

Question 13. “In what state does Jesus [Yahushua] say the dead are? [Answer] John 11:11-14”.

Question 14. “What is death called in Psalm 13:3?”

Question 15. “Until what time will the individual sleep? [Answer] Compare Job 14: 10-12, 15; Psalm 17:15 with Acts 13: 36; John 5: 28,29”.

The above are the teachings of the SDA Church on the Spirit, the Soul and Body of man. Thus her teaching makes man to be just a “body” plus “breath”. Her belief is that the body and the breath makes him a “living soul”. Likewise, her teaching is that when the “breath” or the “spirit” leaves the body at death, that “breath” or “spirit” returns to Yahweh. Man, she believes and teaches, then becomes a “dead soul” and returns to the dust and sleeps in death until the Resurrection.

In point No.2 of Bible Study No.20, the Question is asked, “What three parts make up the entire man? [Answer] 1Thess. 5: 23”.

The answer in this verse is “spirit, soul and body”. Thus the spirit, the soul and the body in light of what the Church teaches, relates to the physical body plus the breath or “spirit” which makes man a living soul.

With the exception of the breath or spirit, nothing is stated about the TRUE “SPIRIT” AND “SOUL” OF MAN (the mind, the will, the intellect, the spiritual and emotional being), THE SPIRIT BEING THAT HAS BEEN WITH US, US ELOHIM, SINCE ETERNITY!! It is the part of the being from which Our love emanates and which occupies the body in life and exits it at death. IT IS THE SPIRITUAL BEING WHICH NEVER DIES (Genesis 1: 26; Luke 16: 19-31; John 11: 25, 26; 2 Cor. 5: 1-9; Rev. 6: 9-11; Rev. 7: 9-17).

In Question No.4 in the “Fundamentals of the Seventh-Day Adventist Faith”, Man's nature is described as “Mortal man, mortal body and mortal flesh”. The teaching therefore by the Church, is that spirit, soul and body of man are mortal and perish at death. Thus My Word on this matter is disregarded.

The SDA Church has failed to address the most important and vital subject of the “Spirit”, the “Soul” and the “Body”. This failure accounts for the lack of true love for one another and toward their fellowmen. It also accounts for the lack of commitment, the matter-of-fact religion, as well as the lack of consecration seen in so many of her members. Due to such teachings, many do not see their need to draw closer to Me, Yahushua, and to live clean, consecrated and committed lives before Me. Such ones see themselves just as bodies and breath. Therefore, they spend their time pampering themselves until they (their bodies) die and return to the dust. This deception has caused some of the members to live only for the present. Hence the reason when loved ones die, there is often great sorrow and mourning because those who mourn, believe their loves ones are just under the earth perishing (for those who are buried).

THE TRUE MAN!!

When We, the Godhead: Yahweh, Yahushua and the Ruach Ha Kodesh, made man; his spirit was not created because his spirit has been with Us from eternity as part of Our Being. I was only his body which was formed from the ground. Into that body We placed his immortal spirit and soul and then breathed into him the breath of life, whereby he became a living soul (Genesis 2:7; Rev. 11:11; Job 33:4). Man therefore, is more than the body which is seen. He is a complex being who is fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14). He (Man) is FIRST A SPIRIT BEING, WHO LIVES IN HIS PHYSICAL BEING, THE BODY. Man therefore, is BOTH A SPIRIT BEING AND A PHYSICAL BEING.

THE BEINGS OF MAN!!

My messenger has looked up the meaning of the THREE BEINGS of man in the dictionary to support what is being written on the subject of the Spirit, the Soul and the Body of man. These then are the findings on the subject:


THE SPIRIT MAN:

The Spirit is separate from the Soul (though also a spirit). It is the part of the being which communicates with Us the Godhead and with which WE communicate. In Virtue's English Dictionary page 829, the “Spirit” is described as follows:
“The intelligent, immaterial, and immortal part of man”.

THE SOUL MAN:

The soul in man is the real person and the true heart of man consisting of the mind, the will, the emotions and the seat of reasoning. In Virtue's English Dictionary page 821 it is described as:
“The spiritual and immortal part in man; the immaterial spirit which inhabits the body; the moral and emotional part of man’s nature; the seat of the sentiments or feelings; the animating or essential part; the vital principle”."

THE BODY:

The Body is the physical part of the being which houses the spirit and the soul and is the only part which dies. In the Cruden’s Complete Concordance, Page 49, is it described as:
“The physical part of man as distinct from the spiritual”.


THE TRUE SPIRIT OF MAN!!

The Spirit man is the part of the being which is most important. This is so because as Spirit Beings, the Father, the Ruach Ha Kodesh and Myself, Yahushua, communicate only with the spirit being of man (not his breath which carries out a physiological function in keeping the body alive in life). That is why I, Yahushua, said:

“[Elohim] God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth”. John 4: 24.

Man must communicate with Us, his Elohim, through his spirit. He must also worship Us through his spirit. It is through the spirit man that men, women and children are “drawn” to Me, Yahushua (John 12:32). It is through the same spirit man with which the Ruach Ha Kodesh works to convert men, women and children to Me, Yahushua (John 16:7-14). It is also the spirit whereby one knows whether he or she is a child of Elohim (God), as it is stated in Romans 8:16:

“The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of [Elohim] God”.

The spirit of man is not useless or helpless. It thinks, speaks, knows and understands; it communicates with the soul; makes decisions and instructs the body to carry out its dictates. That is why 1 Cor. 2:11 says:

“For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him?”

And in Proverbs 16:32, it says:

“He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city”.


It also says in Proverbs 25:28:

“He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls”. (NIV).

It is imperative that the spirit man is subject to the Ruach Ha Kodesh and allow Him to be in control. Once the Ruach Ha Kodesh is given access to the spirit, He can then enter and convert the soul. Once the soul is converted to Me, Yahushua, We, the Elohim of all mankind: Yahweh, Yahushua and the Ruach Ha Kodesh, can then make Our abode with man (John 16: 7-13; John 14:23). Our flag can then fly as the entire man: Spirit, Soul and Body will be under Our control. Once We are in control of the spirit and the soul, the body will be brought under the control of the Will. Therefore, sin will not have dominion over their lives; neither will the “works of the flesh” which are recorded in Galatians 5: 19-21.

The entire being of man: the Spirit, the Soul and the Body, is important, that is why it is recorded in 2 Thessalonians 5: 23:

“And the very [Elohim] God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray [Yahweh] God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our [Adonai Yahushua Ha Mashiach] Lord Jesus Christ”.

Satan knows the importance of the spirit of mankind. That is the reason he fights to be in control of the spirit of the human race. He knows that once he is in control of that part of the being, then he is in control of the rest of the being, the soul and the body.


THE TRUE SOUL OF MAN:

The Soul of man is the true person. It is the heart of man, his mind, his will, his intellect and his emotion. It is the part of man that is carnal and decides good or evil, right or wrong and instructs the body to carry out those decisions. It is the part of the being which will stand in the judgment and give an account to Me, Yahushua, for the things which were done in the body. Thus the eternal destiny of both the spirit and the soul is dependent upon the soul. Likewise, the eternal life for the body or its eternal destruction is also dependent upon the soul through the choices which are made during the lifetime of each person.

It is the same soul in man which I made reference to and said:

“And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell”. Matthew 10: 28.

Please note that although the word “destroy” is used in this text: Matthew 10:28, it refers to the eternal torment of the soul because the soul (like the spirit) is a spirit being which does not die.

The soul is the part of the being to which Paul referred when he said:

“For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace”. Romans 8:6.

THE BODY:

The body is the physical, material part of the being which houses the spirit and the soul during each person’s lifetime. It is under the control of the spirit and the soul and carries out instructions from both. However, there is always a battle waging between the Spirit, the Soul and the Body. There is also a battle waging between Spirit of Elohim and the flesh. It was that constant battle that caused Paul to write:

“For that which I do I allow not; for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good. Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing; for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. For the good that I would I do not; but the evil which I would not, that I do. Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. For I delight in the law of [Yahweh] God after the inward man; But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?” Romans 7: 15-25.

Paul went on and gave the following advice:

“This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary the one to the other; so that ye cannot do the things that ye would”. Galatians 5: 16, 17.

The body of man is important because it gives the legal right for the spirit and soul to operate upon the earth. It also gives Us, Elohim, the legal right to operate and function through Our children. That is why the Church of Believers is called My “Body”.

THE BODY OF MAN AND THE LIFE WITHIN HIS BODY ARE BOTH GIFTS FROM US: Yahweh the Father, the Ruach Ha Kodesh and Myself, Yahushua Ha Mashiach. Both should be cared for and preserved for as long as possible. Life in the body entitles the person to enjoy Planet Earth, bless others, procreate and to be witnesses of My Love, saving grace and My death for all mankind. It is also enables My followers to preach the Gospel of the Kingdom of Grace and Glory, and to tell about the Good News of My Resurrection, Ascension and Soon Return for all My followers; as well as the rewards awaiting them. ONCE LIFE IS TAKEN FROM THE BODY, THE GIFTS (BOTH BODY AND LIFE), COME TO AN END IN THIS PRESENT WORLD. THE SPIRIT MUST THEN LEAVE BECAUSE IT HAS NO MORE LEGAL RIGHT TO BE UPON THE EARTH!! The lifeless body then returns to its dust from whence it came and knows nothing ever again.
