4 the annunciation and birth of jesus christ
The document summarizes the story of Zacharias and Elizabeth from the Bible. It describes how Zacharias, a priest, sees an angel while performing his duties at the temple who tells him that Elizabeth will bear a son named John. The angel says John will be great and prepare the way for Jesus. It also briefly mentions Mary receiving word from an angel that she will bear Jesus, the Son of God.
Christ vs antichrist
The document discusses the papacy and the Roman Catholic Church. It claims that though the Roman Church now presents a fair front, covering its past cruelties, it is fundamentally unchanged. It asserts that the papacy still holds the same doctrines and principles as in past ages of darkness. While there are sincere Christians in the Catholic communion who serve God according to their light, the Roman system remains an apostasy. The document warns that Catholicism is gaining ground through increased popularity of its churches, colleges, and compromises by Protestants, and calls God's people to resist its dangerous advances against liberty.
God Has A Plan For You - Lesson 3
This document discusses the biblical teachings around water baptism. It provides several key points:
- Water baptism washes away sins when done in the name of Jesus Christ as an act of repentance. It allows for forgiveness and a new spiritual relationship with God.
- Baptism is described as a burial and washing in scripture, representing the burial of the old sinful self and remission of sins.
- In the Bible, baptism was always immediate after repentance and conversion. It marked one's new identity as a follower of Christ.
- Proper baptism involves full immersion in water in the name of Jesus based on examples from the New Testament.
16. the garments of the high priest
The garments of the high priest, as described in Exodus 28:2-43, were elaborate and made of costly materials to signify the holiness of God and purity required of the high priest. The high priest wore a breastplate, ephod, robe, woven tunic, linen turban, and sash. Precious stones were set in the breastplate representing the 12 tribes of Israel. A golden plate with the words "Holiness to the Lord" was worn on the turban. These special garments reinforced that everything about the high priest's role and appearance was to inspire reverence for God.
15. the true nature of the shaking
The document discusses the true nature of the shaking that was prophesied by Ellen White. It argues that the shaking is the work of the investigative judgment, where God separates the wheat from the tares. During this time, God's people experience an affliction of the soul where they plead for forgiveness and cleansing. Jesus then provides a special atonement or cleansing for His people, removing the record of their sins and clothing them in His perfect righteousness. This final atonement experienced during the judgment is what prepares God's people to receive the latter rain and give the loud cry.
The church 1
The document discusses the biblical concept of "Church" and seeks to clarify different ways it is used. It distinguishes between the "Visible Church" or "Fold", referring to an organized body of believers, and the "Invisible Church" or "Flock", referring only to the faithful. The Fold throughout history has contained both wheat (faithful believers) and tares (unfaithful), which will only be separated at the final judgment. God has used the Fold as a means of containing spiritual truths on earth, even when its members were unfaithful, to act as a light to the world. The overall organization of believers represented by the Fold/Olive Tree has continued in an unbroken lineage from early believers
3. types of sacrifices
The document provides details about animal and vegetable offerings that were made as sacrifices in the tabernacle and temple. It describes the various animals that could be offered including oxen, sheep, goats, turtledoves, and pigeons. It explains that the animals had to be without blemish and a minimum age. The procedures for the sacrifices are outlined, including slaughtering the animal, catching its blood, burning parts on the altar, and portions being eaten by the priests or offerors. Various offerings are defined, including sin offerings, trespass offerings, burnt offerings, peace offerings, and meal offerings.
7000 AÑOS DE HISTORIA
This document provides an overview and introduction to a study on the 7,000 year timeline in Scripture and the writings of Ellen White. It discusses that while some portions are not exact prophecies, there are also exact time prophecies such as 1260, 1290, 1335, and 2300 years. The primary segments discussed are the 4,000 years, 2,000 years, 6,000 years, and 1,000 years. The first section focuses on the 4,000 year period, noting that it began with Adam and Eve's fall and extended to the first advent of Christ and his incarnation, during which Satan worked to degrade humanity for over 4,000 years.

Invitation christianity(3)

Christians seek to love God and their neighbors, study scripture, pray, and fellowship together. The ultimate purpose of life is union with God in heaven. Major differences exist between Catholicism, Orthodoxy, and Protestantism over issues like sacraments, worship practices, and the role of tradition.

2. birth of the adventist movement
William Miller and other preachers in the early 1800s predicted that Jesus would return around 1844 based on interpretations of Bible prophecies. This sparked the Adventist movement, as Miller's message spread across North America and other parts of the world through preachers, publications, and even children preachers in Scandinavia. While the predicted date of 1844 came to be known as the "Great Disappointment" when Jesus did not return as expected, it marked the beginning of the Adventist movement which continues today.

Nature of christ part 1-what is sin part .A
This document discusses the origin and nature of sin. It explains that sin originated with Lucifer when he became prideful and discontent in heaven. Lucifer sinned by doubting God's character and authority. Adam and Eve were the first humans to sin when they disobeyed God's command not to eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Eve was deceived by the serpent into thinking the fruit was desirable. Adam sinned by following Eve after she persuaded him to eat the fruit also. The document explores what constitutes sin and emphasizes that the Bible defines sin as the transgression of God's law.

Jesuit Pope
The three angels of Revelation 14 represent the people who accept the light of God's messages and go forth as His agents to sound the warning throughout the length and breadth of the earth. Christ declares to His followers: "Ye are the light of the world." To every soul that accepts Jesus the cross of Calvary speaks: "Behold the worth of the soul: 'Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. {5T 455.2}
Thus the message of the third angel will be proclaimed. As the time comes for it to be given with greatest power, the Lord will work through humble instruments, leading the minds of those who consecrate themselves to his service. The laborers will be qualified rather by the unction of his Spirit than by the training of literary institutions. Men of faith and prayer will be constrained to go forth with holy zeal, declaring the words which God gives them. The sins of Babylon will be laid open. The fearful results of enforcing the observances of the church by civil authority, the inroads of Spiritualism, the stealthy but rapid progress of the papal power,--all will be unmasked.
Revelation 12 commentary
The woman represents the early Christian church. She is described as:
1) Clothed with the sun, representing that the church is enlightened by Christ.
2) Having the moon under her feet, symbolizing that the church has surpassed and replaced the Jewish law and traditions.
3) Crowned with twelve stars, alluding to the twelve apostles who established the church.
The church 2
The Waldenses were a group of Christians who stood against the encroachment of the Papacy during the Dark Ages. They traced their faith back through their ancestors rather than founding a new faith. They withdrew from the apostate church in Rome and preserved their purity of faith and freedom of worship in the secluded mountains. Their purpose was to guard and spread the truth, declaring Rome to be the Babylon of prophecy while resisting its corruptions, even at the risk of persecution and martyrdom.

The Resurrection of Jesus - A Miracle in One of Three Ways
The resurrection of Jesus is considered a miracle that can be explained in one of three ways: as a biological miracle, psychological miracle, or theological miracle. The biological and psychological explanations are seen as unlikely due to issues like Jesus' clear death by crucifixion, the empty tomb, and appearances to believers and skeptics. The theological miracle explanation of a divine resurrection aligns best with the historical evidence, including the core undisputed facts accepted by scholars, eyewitness testimony that transformed lives, and the foundation this provides for Christianity. Most rational evidence-based analyses find the theological miracle option to be the best supported.
The resurrection of jesus

1. Jesus was called God in numerous biblical passages.
2. Jesus possessed divine attributes like omnipotence, omniscience and omnipresence.
3. Jesus accepted worship, forgave sins, and had the power to create - divine prerogatives that prove His deity.

The Garden Tomb is proposed as an alternative site for Jesus' burial to the traditional Church of the Holy Sepulchre site. Major General Charles Gordon discovered the site in 1867, which contains a first-century Jewish tomb cut from solid rock with a large weeping chamber and channel for rolling a stone, matching biblical descriptions. While it cannot be certain which site is authentic, the important fact is that Jesus rose from the dead as foretold in the gospels.
The plan of salvation
The document discusses God's mission statement for his people found in Exodus 19:5-6, which was for them to obey his voice, keep his covenant, and be his peculiar treasure and kingdom of priests. It then discusses God commanding Moses to build a sanctuary or tabernacle so that God could dwell among his people according to the pattern shown to Moses on the mount, as described in Exodus 25:8-40. The sanctuary constructed by Moses on earth was patterned after the one in heaven.
14 Understanding the power of the cross
The document discusses the Christian concept of atonement, which refers to God reconciling humanity through Jesus Christ. It explains that atonement involves Jesus taking on the punishment for human sin and dying in our place to satisfy God's justice and restore fellowship between God and humanity. The key points are:
1) Atonement involves Jesus bearing the punishment for our sins as our substitute on the cross in order to make amends for human wrongdoing and reconcile us to God.
2) While Jesus took on human sin, he was not himself a sinner - he was sinless. He willingly took the penalty for human sin to defeat sin, death, and Satan.
3) Jesus' death

Premillennialism 04-last-days-rapture-tribulation
The document discusses views on eschatology and the end times. It presents premillennialism, which states that the tribulation and signs like war, earthquakes, and tsunamis are still to come. It discusses the rapture of the church, the second coming of Christ, and the establishment of Christ's kingdom on earth for 1,000 years of peace. The righteous will be in heaven while the wicked are in hell. It examines scriptures about the last days, the tribulation period, and the rapture as a separate event from Christ's return to earth.
Premillennialism 04-last-days-rapture-tribulation
Premillennialism is a theory that dishonors God and undermines faith in Him. At its heart is the idea that God was unable to do what He intended to do at the first coming of Christ. It tosses the minds of men about and breeds anxiety and uncertainty.
The Bible presents a different picture about God’s plan. Jesus sacrificed Himself for the church as part of God’s eternal purpose (Eph. 5:25; 3:9-11). He will come back in Judgment (2 Pet. 3:9-13). Hence, we must live faithfully (2 Pet. 3:14-18).
This lesson will expose three falsehoods promoted by Premillennialists: the Last Days, the Rapture, and the Tribulation.

Unitybeyondduality
The document discusses the concept of unity beyond duality. It notes that pre-dual unity results in monotony, while duality without unity results in cacophony. True unity exists beyond duality, represented as harmony through love. The early church exemplified unity beyond duality by bringing together people from different backgrounds. However, struggles emerged over Christian identity. The document argues for a biblical narrative of creation, fall, and redemption as an alternative to other understandings, and explores concepts like the social Trinity and the gospel of the kingdom. It advocates moving from "us vs. them" mentalities to an inclusive "us for them" unity beyond duality.

Is Lucid Dreaming Dangerous? Risks and Benefits!
Lucid Dreaming: Understanding the Risks and Benefits
The ability to control one's dreams or for the dreamer to be aware that he or she is dreaming. This process, called lucid dreaming, has some potential risks as well as many fascinating benefits. However, many people are hesitant to try it initially for fear of the potential dangers. This article aims to clarify these concerns by exploring both the risks and benefits of lucid dreaming.
The Benefits of Lucid Dreaming
Lucid dreaming allows a person to take control of their dream world, helping them overcome their fears and eliminate nightmares. This technique is particularly useful for mental health. By taking control of their dreams, individuals can face challenging scenarios in a controlled environment, which can help reduce anxiety and increase self-confidence.
Addressing Common Concerns
Physical Harm in Dreams Lucid dreaming is fundamentally safe. In a lucid dream, everything is a creation of your mind. Therefore, nothing in the dream can physically harm you. Despite the vividness and realness of the dream experience, it remains entirely within your mental landscape, posing no physical danger.
Mental Health Risks Concerns about developing PTSD or other mental illnesses from lucid dreaming are unfounded. As soon as you wake up, it's clear that the events experienced in the dream were not real. On the contrary, lucid dreaming is often seen as a therapeutic tool for conditions like PTSD, as it allows individuals to reframe and manage their thoughts.
Potential Risks of Lucid Dreaming
While generally safe, lucid dreaming does come with a few risks as well:
Mixing Dream Memories with Reality Long-term lucid dreamers might occasionally confuse dream memories with real ones, creating false memories. This issue is rare and preventable by maintaining a dream journal and avoiding lucid dreaming about real-life people or places too frequently.
Escapism Using lucid dreaming to escape reality can be problematic if it interferes with your daily life. While it is sometimes beneficial to escape and relieve the stress of reality, relying on lucid dreaming for happiness can hinder personal growth and productivity.
Feeling Tired After Lucid Dreaming Some people report feeling tired after lucid dreaming. This tiredness is not due to the dreams themselves but often results from not getting enough sleep or using techniques that disrupt sleep patterns. Taking breaks and ensuring adequate sleep can prevent this.
Mental Exhaustion Lucid dreaming can be mentally taxing if practiced excessively without breaks. It’s important to balance lucid dreaming with regular sleep to avoid mental fatigue.
Lucid dreaming is safe and beneficial if done with caution. It has many benefits, such as overcoming fear and improving mental health, and minimal risks. There are many resources and tutorials available for those interested in trying it.
