Allowing for God to Use Humor and Figures of Speech

Sabbath School Net Posted on June 18, 2020 by William EarnhardtJune 22, 2020avatar

As we are studying this week about how to deal with difficult texts I think one solution is to allow for the possibility that God was using what we call a “figure of speech,” which is when a word or phrase is used in a non-literal sense for rhetorical or vivid effect. Maybe even allow … Continue reading –>

The Apocrypha – Canonical or Not?

Sabbath School Net Posted on June 16, 2020 by Maurice AshtonFebruary 13, 2023avatar

I have published a couple of posts recently giving accounts of the history of the Bible and its translation, particularly for the English language. You can follow these links to read them if you wish: A Short History of the King James Version Transmission and Translation of the English Bible I purposely left out the … Continue reading –>

Jesus consoles young man

 Avianca Flight 52 left Bogotá Columbia January 25, 1990 headed for JFK airport in New York. That particular day there were several storms on the eastern coast of the United States forcing Flight 52 to go into holding patterns over a few cities to avoid the storms. Because of this, once they got to New … Continue reading –>

Did God Tell Adam and Eve to Keep the Sabbath?

Sabbath School Net Posted on May 20, 2020 by William EarnhardtMay 25, 2020avatar

So the creation of the heavens and the earth and everything in them was completed. On the seventh day God had finished his work of creation, so he rested[a] from all his work.  And God blessed the seventh day and declared it holy, because it was the day when he rested from all his work … Continue reading –>

Transmission and Translation of the English Bible

Sabbath School Net Posted on May 18, 2020 by Maurice AshtonFebruary 13, 2023avatar

In this current lesson study sequence, we are urged to use “Scripture only” as the basis for our faith. Most of us in this forum probably take the Bible as we read it today for granted. We may argue over which version is best, but we largely accept Scripture as the basis of our faith. … Continue reading –>

What did Jesus Mean by “Fulfill” and “Till” in Matthew 5:17-18?

Sabbath School Net Posted on May 14, 2020 by William EarnhardtMay 20, 2020avatar
Love is the heart of the Law.

Seventh-day Adventists are familiar with something Jesus said in the sermon on the mount. “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill.  For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one  jot or one  tittle will by … Continue reading –>

Cultural Influence and the Bible

Sabbath School Net Posted on May 7, 2020 by William EarnhardtMay 14, 2020avatar
The Bible Speaks to All People

I suppose most Christians around the world would agree that the Bible takes precedence over  culture as far as deciding what is right and wrong. At the same time I think all of us are sometimes confused, thinking we are following the Bible instead of culture, not realizing that our culture heavily influences how we … Continue reading –>

Are Bible Commentaries and Study Bible Notes Inspired?

Sabbath School Net Posted on April 29, 2020 by William EarnhardtMay 7, 2020avatar
The Bible Speaks to All People

Study Bibles for the most part can be a huge blessing. However as a young Bible worker back in the 1990’s I found them to be very challenging. Numerous times I would begin Bible studies with someone who knew very little about the Bible. They would run out to a bookstore in the community and … Continue reading –>

Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you. For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from … Continue reading –>

The Bible Is a Love Story, Not a Collection of Proof Texts

Sabbath School Net Posted on April 17, 2020 by William EarnhardtApril 23, 2020avatar
Image © Pacific Press from GoodSalt.com

There is a joke I like to tell whenever anyone mentions the dictionary. I tell people, ” I tried reading the dictionary, but I could not follow the plot”. It brings chuckles because, of course, there is no plot. The dictionary is simply a collection of definitions and facts with no plot or story line. … Continue reading –>
