SDA Issues - Gleaning for Teaching....

What can we glean about teaching the Word of God from Christ, Paul & John?


@ From Christ, we learned that the first thing He preached was to REPENT, for the Kingdom of God is AT HAND.....
@ From Paul, we learned that the first thing he preached was to persuade belief that Christ was the Son of God, in other words the Messiah.....
@ From John, we learned that his letters were to point to the path of salvation & reinforce the faith....


Q: What went along with a teaching of the religion of the true God?
A: Now for a long season Israel hath been without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law.
2 Chronicles 15:3
SUMMARY:
So SDA's....* let's call people to repentance from their sins (so that doesn't mean running around trying to be "relevant" in this world compromising on the sin of gay marriage, etc.)-- * preach the 3 Angels Message (the kingdom really is at hand, for the 2300 days have been fulfilled & knowledge has increased such in just a century & a half since 1844 that we are now a global village, setting us up for the 3rd angel's message to begin soon)-- * prove with evidence, reason, logic & common sense that God really does exist & Christ was who He said He was (..Creation...)-- * point to the plan of salvation (which is laid out in His sanctuary)-- * use these to reinforce the faith-- * & of course hold up His Holy Law (which INCLUDES the 7th day Sabbath trampled on by the world)
