from http://text.egwwritings.org/publication.php?pubtype=Book&bookCode=LDE&lang=en&pagenumber=293 The Salvation of Infants and Imbeciles   As the little infants come forth immortal from their dusty beds, they immediately wing their way to their mother's arms. They meet again nevermore to part. But many of the little ones have no mother there. We listen in vain for the rapturous song of triumph from the mother. The angels receive the motherless infants and conduct them to the tree of life.— Selected Messages 2:260 (1858) . Some questioned whether the little children of even believing parents should be saved, because they have had no test of character and all must be tested and their character determined by trial. The question is asked, “How can little children have this test and trial?” I answer that the faith of the believing parents covers the children, as when God sent His judgments upon the first-born of the Egyptians.... Whether all the children of unbeliev...

David’s   Dancing   Not a Precedent —David’s   dancing   in reverent joy before God has been cited by pleasure lovers in justification of the fashionable modern dance, but there is no ground for such an argument. In our day   dancing   is associated with folly and midnight reveling. Health and morals are sacrificed to pleasure. By the frequenters of the ballroom God is not an object of thought and reverence; prayer or the song of praise would be felt to be out of place in their assemblies. This test should be decisive. Amusements that have a tendency to weaken the love for sacred things and lessen our joy in the service of God are not to be sought by Christians. The music and   dancing   in joyful praise to God at the removal of the ark had not the faintest resemblance to the dissipation of modern   dancing . The one tended to the remembrance of God and exalted His holy name. The other is a device of Satan to cause men to forget God and to di...

Bible Revelation 12:7-17 King James Version (KJV) 7  And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, 8  And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. 9  And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. EGW/SOP Avoid Party Strifes Men have confederated to oppose the Lord of hosts. These confederacies will continue until Christ shall leave His place of intercession before the mercy seat, and shall put on the garments of vengeance. Satanic agencies are in every city, busily organizing into parties those opposed to the law of God. Professed saints and avowed unbelievers take their stand with these parties. This is no time for the people of God to be weaklings. We cannot afford to be off   our guard for a moment.— Testimoni...

666 Vicarius Filii Dei? Le Roy Froom VS Bacchiochi, Batchelor, 1913 Catholic Encyclopedia, Quasten from http://www.666truth.org/history/666-and-the-mark When do you look at the titles for the papacy and the pope, not any one pope but the popes over history, this is a quote now and I don’t speak Latin but I’ll do my best. Prompta Bibliotheca, according to the 1913 Catholic Encyclopedia, is a veritable encyclopedia of religious knowledge and will ever remain a precious mine of information. This book is quoted frequently as authoritative Catholic source, under the heading “Papa,” “Vicarius Filii Dei” appears as the title of the Pope. Now friends who are watching, you’re gonna have to order the tape and read the references cause I can’t even read them all, there’s so many tonight. But you have it there in your screen some of them are very lengthy when you get into these encyclopedias. Again here’s a document and this is from someone who actually worked locally a number of years ba...

In time past there have been presented to me for my opinion many non-essential, fanciful theories. Some have advocated the theory that believers should pray with their eyes open . Others teach that, because those who ministered anciently in sacred office were required, upon entering the sanctuary, to remove their sandals and wash their feet, believers now should remove their shoes when entering the house of worship. Still others refer to the sixth commandment, and declare that even the insects that torment human beings should not be killed. And some have put forth the theory that the redeemed will not have gray hair—as if this were a matter of any importance. {GW 313.1} I am instructed to say that these theories are the production of minds unlearned in the first principles of the gospel. By such theories the enemy strives to eclipse the great truths for this time. {GW 313.2} Those who in their preaching pass by the great truths of God’s word to speak of minor matters, are not preachi...
