An on-going compilations of the Spirit of Prophecy statements identifying the Holy Spirit as the Spirit of Christ.
I would like to take a moment to respond to Brother V’s claim that my view is “not a Biblical teaching” but instead “is based on traditional philosophy.” I take umbrage to this claim because my view is derived from Scripture. To begin with let us note what God’s Word says about “eternity” and man’s grasp of it…
This article addresses the claim that, since “wisdom” in Proverbs 8 is personified as a female gender, “wisdom” cannot be identified as Christ.] Bracket added by admin. Firstly, Genesis 1 tells us that Two Beings of an identical nature (divinity) created two beings of a different identical nature (humanity). One was Elohim, and He was speaking to Someone Else Who was already In His Image…
Wind is simply understood as a current of air or the movement of a body of air in a certain direction. Our breath operates on this same principle. When we breathe, we are simply moving air in and out of our lungs. The Holy Spirit is symbolized by both the wind and the breath in the Bible. Notice this interesting exchange between Christ and His disciples…
Originally published on The Bible Echo, October 1, 1893, pg. 499; THE ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF CHRIST IS THE RECEPTION OF HIM IN THE HEART. When He who is the power of God, is enthroned in man, the power is there also, but to be used only by his direction, and under his absolute control…

It is interesting at times to analyze the statements we read in the Word of God, because by so doing we discover a depth or meaning in them which is not revealed by a casual reading. For instance, we read, “The Word of GOD is quick and powerful.” Heb. 4:12. THIS CARRIES LITTLE CONVICTION WITH IT UNLESS ONE STOPS TO PONDER ITS INTENT…
The word “mystery” occurs twenty-seven times in the Bible. It is derived from a Greek term signifying, “What is known only by the initiated.” The apostle says, “Great is the mystery of godliness ;” then he explains the term by saying, “God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.” I Tim. 3: i6. . .
What did John mean, in 1 John 4:2, 3; when he said, “Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God”? Is John merely affirming Jesus’ incarnation in that
New and updated article to the previous article, “Baptism Controversy,” regarding the proper words to be used in the baptismal rites, namely, dealing with the 19th verse of Matthew 28, which said, “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.”

What is Pantheism? Pantheism is “the doctrine that the universe, taken or conceived as a whole, is God;” in other words, that GOD, AS A PERSONAL BEING, IS IN EVERYTHING, and therefore that He must be as large as the universe itself…

In the first chapter of Genesis we read the record of the creation, and as a part of the record, these words, “The Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.” The word “moved” comes from a Hebrew word, “to flutter,” or “brood.” It gives us the idea of energy, of vibratory power, of life-producing impulse…
This article, dealing with the nature and the personality of God, was originally published on The Present Truth, September 9, 1909, Pg. 563; Republished on The Present Truth, August 28, 1913, Pg. 549
GOD is not nature, and nature is not God. The two cannot in any case be used interchangeably. God’s handiwork in nature is not God Himself in nature. God’s power in nature does not identify God Himself with nature. Nature has its own individuality, and God has His distinct personality…
For there are three that bear record in heaven … – There are three that “witness,” or that “bear witness” – the same Greek word which, in 1 John 5:8, is rendered “bear witness” – μαρτυροῦντες marturountes. There is no passage of the New Testament which has given rise to so much discussion in regard to its genuineness as this…
Fifty-Fifth General Conference Session, on July 11, 1990, 2:00 p.m., baptismal vow was revised, making it decidedly trinitarian. The vote was to revise the SDA Church Manual pg. 44 (1986 edition), “Baptismal Vow and Baptism,” section to read as follows “”1. Do you believe there is one God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, a unity of three co-eternal Persons?”

“It may be permitted us to stop briefly to inquire WHY LUCIFER WAS DENIED the honors conferred upon Christ, and which he so much coveted. THE TASK IS NOT DIFFICULT. The difference between Christ and Lucifer WAS AN ESSENTIAL ONE OF CHARACTER AND OF NATURE, and not of mere outward environment. CHRIST WAS GOD, THE ONLY-BEGOTTEN OF THE FATHER, full of grace and truth…”
