Originally published on end-times-prophecy.org adopted and edited by As It Reads

Upholding the Divinity of Christ

By Paul Chung
One of the main criticisms from the modern trinitarian Adventists of the pioneers’ non-trinitarian position is the idea that, if Jesus is the literal pre-incarnate begotten Son then, it denigrates the divinity of Christ and that to be literally begotten would effectively make Christ a created being.

The Bible was given for practical purposes.ā€ — Ellen White, Ms24-1886.6

Among the various statements that are often quoted are taken from a letter Ellen White had written to Brother Chapman from Petoskey, Michigan, on June 11, 1891 and is generally referred to as the ā€œChapman Letter.ā€

Blasphemeth Against the Holy Ghost?

By Paul Chung
Trinitarian’s Objection: If the Holy Spirit and the Spirit of Christ are the same as how non-trinitarians claim then how is it that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost is not forgiven but speaking against Christ shall be forgiven?
