A principle in response to pedestaling 2An:33

 

Can an incidental statement (2Ans:33 [1944]) TRUMP a body of dedicated statements (1Tr [1941])
on the same truth, Ezek. 9?

              The Bible says
“…that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.” (Matt. 18:16.)

We have four witnesses speaking on the same subject affirming as a doctrine of truth that
(1.) Breath of life + (2.) a material body = (3.) a soul

This is a doctrine taught by the Holy Spirit through…

Proof:    Moses

Ge. 2:7—“And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.”

              Solomon

Ec. 12:7—“Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.”

              James

Jas. 2:26—“For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.”

              Moses

Job 27:3—“All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils;…”

              Ezekiel

Ez. 18:20—“The soul that sinneth, it shall die.”

The Bible also on the other side of the same doctrinal spectrum says through God the creator of heaven and earth and through a true prophet the following:

1Ki 17:12, 17-23—And she said, As the LORD thy God liveth, I have not a cake, but an handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil in a cruse: and, behold, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and dress it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die.
 17 ¶ And it came to pass after these things, that the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, fell sick; and his sickness was so sore, that there was no breath left in him.
 18 And she said unto Elijah, What have I to do with thee, O thou man of God? art thou come unto me to call my sin to remembrance, and to slay my son?
 19 And he said unto her, Give me thy son. And he took him out of her bosom, and carried him up into a loft, where he abode, and laid him upon his own bed.
 20 And he cried unto the LORD, and said, O LORD my God, hast thou also brought evil upon the widow with whom I sojourn, by slaying her son?
 21 And he stretched himself upon the child three times, and cried unto the LORD, and said, O LORD my God, I pray thee, let this child's soul come into him again.
 22 And the LORD heard the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived.
 23 And Elijah took the child, and brought him down out of the chamber into the house, and delivered him unto his mother: and Elijah said, See, thy son liveth.

Which one is true? Which one am I going to accept because I cannot have both polar opposing positions occupying the position of constituted authority at the same time or conveniently switch sides as it is politically expedient? For all those who may not know, the Bible abides by the law of non-contradiction.

This is why an incidental statement about a truth i.e. “the sealing” will never trump a dedicated body analysis of many interpreted statements in context of that singular subject of truth no matter how much younger it is.

"The sealing"

What does the SRod mean when it uses the phrase “the sealing”?   [NOTE: This is an evidentiary follow-up to What is the seal 3rd Attempt suppressed details by presupposition  (which explains that Elijah's message makes a difference between 1. " the sealing  message" 2. " the sealing time" 3. " the sealing angel.") and a " Comparison between What is the seal? " If you haven't gone through these already view them first in order to be thoroughly grounded upon the subject and to benefit the most from having eaten the pie correctly.]    Moreover, whatever interpretation we may place on any statement in reference to any truth, must be in harmony with every other statement on the subject .—3SC1:11.1 Let us now assemble together to analyze and then count "the sealing" phrase one by one as it specifically relates to Ezek. 9. After this exhaustive exposé it will become abundantly clear how this phrase has more than one aspect. Referen...

For every one that doeth evil hateth the light - (d)

Understanding the additional Fundamental Beliefs, part 4 of 4 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved . But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest , that they are wrought in God. —John 3:20, 21 It is October 15, 1934 in Los Angeles, California. The Symbolic Code News Items in the interest of the SDA Denomination is in effect. What does the “FATHER OF LIGHTS” deem necessary to be known and understood by the …”Battering Rams” who encompass “Mount Zion”…? It is written down on the very first page of Volume One No. 4. This great admonition is judiciously tied to “…tract #4, ‘The Latest News for Mother,’ pp. 65, 66” [ which is strategically violated because of differences of opinions ] followed by “(Keep This Article in Your Notebook)” and closes with James 1:22-24. It is just the third month since the inception of “this prophetic organ” which “proves to be the mouth piece of t...

Who are the Reapers?

Who are the Reapers and When do they come? "…No one finds the truth accidentally , or sees it without the Holy Spirit's aid.—4An:36.1      No one, say the Scriptures, can privately (without Inspiration) unfold the prophecies, for, reasons the Apostle, as prophecy came not by private effort—not by the will of men, but by holy men and the Spirit—neither can it therefore be of private interpretation, but only by holy men led by the Holy Spirit.  Moreover, even AFTER prophecy is thus interpreted, only to the righteous ( the penitent ) is given the gift of understanding it (Dan. 12:10).—2TG44:31.2 And those who fail to acknowledge the truth or even array themselves to oppose it, the following scripture reveals why. 1Pe 5:5—Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.      “Those who are truly converted to Ch...
