The structure of the Seventh-day Adventist Church is in great apostasy, with the symbols of the Sun-god showing up in the Adventist Review, and other occult symbols appearing. Four years before the fall of Jerusalem the standard (symbol) of the Romans was in Jerusalem (church), this was a warning to the people of God. "When the idolatrous standards of the Romans should be set up in the holy ground, which extended some furlongs outside the city walls, then the followers of Christ were to find safety in flight. When the warning sign should be seen, those who would escape must make no delay." Great Controversy 26.

Read Prophets and Kings, p.51-59, where Solomon fell into Baal worship.
“Let the sad memory of Solomon's apostasy warn every soul to shun the same precipice. His weakness and sin are handed down from generation to generation.” SDA Bible Commentary, Vol. 2, p. 1031 The idolatry that has come into the SDA structure is but another form of Baal worship, with the end result that those who follow the leadership will partake in SUNDAY WORSHIP. The occult symbols appearing are hidden 666's and sun symbols. A new age person gave me some articles and I found an interesting item from a "spirit guide" on the use of symbols from ancient Hebrew, Egyptian, Sumerian, Chinese, and hyper space symbols. The spirit guide or Lucifer said, “They are 'sentences' that serve to unlock DNA sequences and mind patterns.” These are part of the paradigm shift, hypnotism and mind control methods that are being used in our world and even in the church today. These symbols have deep occult meaning. “The enemy knows that if the church can be controlled by political enactments, if she can be led to unite with the world (UN), she virtually acknowledges him as her head. Then the authority of man-made commandments will work to oppose the rule of the government of heaven. Under the leadership of Satan, men will dispense with the righteous, holy enactments of God concerning the SABBATH.” Signs of the Times, 11-22-1899. “The Lord has a controversy with his professed people in the last days. In this controversy men in responsible position will take a course directly opposite to that pursued by Nehemiah. They will not only ignore and despise the Sabbath themselves, but they will try to keep it from others by burying it beneath the rubbish of custom and tradition. In churches and in large gatherings in the open air, ministers will urge upon the people the necessity of keeping the first day of the week.” Review & Herald, March 18, 1884. “I was shown the necessity of those who believe that we are having the last message of mercy, being separate from those who are daily imbibing new errors. I saw that neither young nor old should attend their meetings; for it is wrong to thus encourage them while they teach error that is a deadly poison to the soul and teach for doctrines the commandments of men. The influence of such gatherings is not good. If God has delivered us from such darkness and error, we should stand fast in the liberty wherewith He has set us free and rejoice in the truth. God is displeased with us when we go to listen to error, without being obliged to go; for unless He sends us to those meetings where error is forced home to the people by the power of the will [NLP], He will not keep us. The angels cease their watchful care over us, and we are left to the buffetings of the enemy, to be darkened and weakened by him and the power of his evil angels; and the light around us becomes contaminated with the darkness.” Early Writings 124-125. “We have come to a time when God's sacred work is represented by the feet of the image in which the iron was mixed with the miry clay. . . The mingling of church craft and state craft is represented by the iron and the clay. This union is weakening all the power of the churches. This investing the church with the power of the state will bring evil results. Men have almost passed the point of God's forbearance. They have invested their strength in politics, and have united with the papacy.” Manuscript 63, 1899. SDA Bible Commentary, Vol. 4, p. 1168-69. It is common knowledge in the rest of the world that General Conference and the Catholics are and have been working together with the United Nations. Also Dwight Nelson gave the Christmas Sermon on ABC Television, for the National Council of Churches, a Catholic controlled organization. “The church has taken the world into her fellowship, and has given her affections to the enemies of holiness. The church and the world are standing on the same ground in transgression of the law of God. The church prefers to assimilate to the world rather than separate from its customs and vanities.” Manuscript 44, p. 19. 1900. “When Christ saw in the Jewish people a nation divorced from God, He saw also a professed Christian church united to the world and the papacy. . .Will He be obliged to say to those who have had great light and great knowledge, as He said to the Jews, 'O that thou hadst known, even thou in this the day, the things which belong unto thy peace. But now they are hid from thine eyes.” The Kress Collection, p. 153, July 10, 1900. The following quote is amazing, it is a dream of Ellen White. This dream has now come true, in that in the magazine CHANNELS some time back, a It Is Written -- Channel of Inspiration cover, GLOBAL MISSION 2000, where a picture of a "Jesus" is in a triangle with a Nun and Priest. I contend that this is not the true Jesus of Nazareth, but the counterfeit Lucifer or Antichrist. Now the quote: “. . .That night I dreamed that I was in Battle Creek looking out from the side glass at the door and saw a company marching up to the house, two and two. They looked stern and determined. I knew them well and turned to open the parlor door to receive them, but thought I would look again. The scene was changed. The company now presented the appearance of a Catholic procession. One bore in his hand a cross, another a reed (learn the meaning of these symbols). And as they approached, the one carrying a reed made a circle around the house,saying three times: ‘This house is proscribed. The goods must be confiscated. They have spoken against our holy order.’ Terror seized me, and I ran through the house, out of the north door, and found myself in the midst of a company, some of whom I knew, but I dared not speak a word to them for fear of being betrayed. I tried to seek a retired spot where I might weep and pray without meeting eager, inquisitive eyes wherever I turned. I repeated frequently: ‘If I could only understand this! If they will tell me what I have said or what I have done!’ I wept and prayed much as I saw our goods confiscated. I tried to read sympathy or piety for me in the looks of those around me, and marked the countenances of several whom I thought would speak to me and comfort me if they did not fear that they would be observed by others. I made one attempt to escape from the crowd, but seeing that I was watched, I concealed my intentions. I commenced weeping aloud, and saying: ‘If they would only tell me what I have done or what I have said!’ My husband, who was sleeping in a bed in the same room, heard me weeping aloud and awoke me. My pillow was wet with tears, and a sad depression of spirits was upon me.” Testimonies, Vol. 1, p. 578. “Yet we hear that the voice of the conference is the voice of God. Every time I have heard this, I have thought it was almost blasphemy. The voice of the Conference ought to be the voice of God, but it is not, because some in connection with it are not men of faith and prayer, they are not men of elevated principle. There is not a seeking of God with the whole heart; there is not a realization of the terrible responsibility that rests upon those in this institution to mold and fashion the minds after the divine similitude.” Manuscript 37, p. 8. April, 1901. “We are far from where we should have been had our Christian experience been in harmony with the light and opportunities given us, had we from the beginning constantly pressed onward and upward. Had we walked in the light that has been given us, had we followed on to know the Lord, our path would have grown brighter and brighter. But many of those who have had special light are so conformed to the world that they can scarcely be distinguished from worldlings. They do not stand forth as God's peculiar people, chosen and precious. It is difficult to discern between him that serveth God and him that serveth Him not." "In the balances of the sanctuary the Seventh-day Adventist church is to be weighed. She will be judged by the privileges and advantages that she has had. If her spiritual experience does not correspond to the advantages that Christ, at infinite cost, has bestowed on her, if the blessings conferred have not qualified her to do the work entrusted to her, on her will be pronounced the sentence: ‘'Found wanting.’ By the light bestowed, the opportunities given, will she be judged.” Testimonies, Vol. 8 p. 247-50. April 21, 1903. “If we turn from the testimony of God's word, and accept false doctrines because our fathers taught them, we fall under the condemnation pronounced upon Babylon; we are drinking of the wine of her abominations.” Spirit of Prophecy, Vol. 4, p. 357. Read in Great Controversy, the paragraph on pages 606/607, where it states: “. . . In amazement they hear the testimony that Babylon is the church, fallen because of her errors and sins, because of her rejection of the truth sent to her from heaven. . .” In this context God never sent special messages to the Roman Church, but he sent special messages to the New Israel or the Seventh-day Adventist Church via the Spirit of Prophecy. Many are waiting for the Sunday Law to get ready, but in Great Controversy on Page 444 states: “So apostasy in the church will prepare the way for the image to the beast.” The image comes before the Sunday Law, which comes after the apostasy and is part of the judgment and punishment of the church. Read pages 448/449 where it states, “Those who, understanding the claims of the fourth commandment, choose to observe the false instead of the true Sabbath are thereby paying homage to that power by which alone it is commanded.” So Ellen White told us that we needed to come out, that included an apostate SDA Church. “I am now giving the message God has given me, to give to all who claim to believe the truth: ‘Come out from among them, and be ye separate,’ else their sin in justifying wrongs and framing deceits will continue to be the ruin of souls. We can not afford to be on the wrong side.” Special Testimonies, Series B, #7 p. 61-64. November, 1905. When the New World Order comes into force, they will bring in their one world religion, and this will be done by force. Randy Weaver and Waco were Sabbath keepers, they were the trial run to see if they could get away with destroying all Sabbath keepers, and so far they have gotten away with it. Persecution is soon to be brought against all true Sabbath keepers, are you ready, has the church warned you or have they joined the world. “There is a prospect before us of a continued struggle, at the risk of imprisonment, loss of property, and even of life itself, to defend the law of God, which is made void by the laws of men. In this situation worldly policy will urge an outward compliance with the laws of the land, for the sake of peace and harmony.” Testimonies, Vol. 5, p. 712. Are you ready? So many SDA's have bought into the delusion that the structure church would go through, but it should be remembered, that we are the temple of God. It is not buildings or conferences, but where the Holy Spirit dwells. “It should be remembered that the promises and the threatenings of God are alike conditional.” Evangelism, p. 695. The conditional nature of all promises in both Bible and Ellen White are forgotten. Then what the church is, is also forgotten, as the church is where two or three are gathered together and the Holy Spirit is welcomed. “God has a church. It is not the great cathedrals, neither is it the national establishment, neither is it the various denominations; it is the people who love God and keep His commandments. ‘Where two or three are gathered together in My name, there am I in the midst of them.’ (Matt. 18:20) Where Christ is even among the humble few, THIS IS CHRIST'S CHURCH, for the presence of the High and Holy One who inhabiteth eternity can alone constitute a church.” Upward Look, 315. Read Testimonies, Vol. 5, p. 571-72, Early Writings, p. 50, 240 on. “Even though you may not feel able to speak a word to those who are working on wrong principles, leave them. Your withdrawal and silence may do more than words. Nehemiah refused to associate with those who were untrue to principle, and he would not permit his workman to associate with them.” Review and Herald, Vol. 4, p. 42. “Slowly and regretfully, Christ, with His disciples, left forever the precincts of the temple.” Spirit of Prophecy; Vol. 3, p. 81.3 See also Vol. 4, p. 46. “If God abhors one sin above another, of which His people are guilty, it is doing nothing in case of an emergency. Indifference and neutrality in a religious crisis is regarded of God as a grievous crime and equal to the very worst type of hostility against God.” Testimonies, Vol. 3, p. 281. “Everyone will reveal the character of the bundle with which he is binding himself. The wheat is being bound up for the heavenly garner. The true people of God are now bound up for the heavenly garner. The true people of God are now pulling apart and the tares are being bound in bundles ready to burn. Decided positions will be taken.” 1888 Material, Letter 13, 1892. “Of those who boast of their light, and yet fail to walk in it, Christ says, ‘But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you. And thou, Capernaum (Seventh-day Adventists, who have had great light), which are exalted unto heaven (in point of privilege), shall be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.’” Review & Herald, August 1, 1893 (brackets in original) The destroying angel of Ezekiel 9, is soon to do the work of destruction, and those who are not sealed in the forehead will be destroyed. The judgment of the living began several years ago, and the saints in the church have been judged and sealed. We are now in the preparation time, preparing to give the last cry to the world to those who have never heard the truth about the Sabbath. That day may be very, very soon, time is short and it is latter than you think. |

The Lord has not given you a message to call the Seventh-day Adventists Babylon, and to call the people of God to come out of her. All the reasons you may present cannot have weight with me on this subject, because the Lord has given me decided light that is opposed to such a message. . . .I know that the Lord loves His church. It is not to be disorganized or broken up into independent atoms. There is not the least consistency in this; there is not the least evidence that such a thing will be. --2SM 63, 68, 69 (1893). {LDE 51.3}
ReplyDeleteI tell you, my brethren, the Lord has an organized body through whom He will work. . . . When anyone is drawing apart from the organized body of God's commandment-keeping people, when he begins to weigh the church in his human scales and begins to pronounce judgment against them, then you may know that God is not leading him. He is on the wrong track. --3SM 17, 18 (1893). {LDE 51.4}
You will take passages in the Testimonies that speak of the close of probation, of the shaking among God's people, and you will talk of a coming out from this people of a purer, holier people that will arise. Now all this pleases the enemy. . . . Should many accept the views you advance, and talk and act upon them, we would see one of the greatest fanatical excitements that has ever been witnessed among Seventh-day Adventists. This is what Satan wants. --1SM 179 (1890). {LDE 51.1}
I have briefly read your blog spot in regards to the SDA church being in great apostasy and I am in full agreement with you. God's church has apostasized greatly in His sight. My heart is grieved when I see and hear the abominations taking place in his House. However this does not cause for seperation or for us to form our own Church. The Bible and the Spirit of Prophecy is clear on that point. We are Laodicea, the final church and no other church will come after it. It is not for us to do the seperating but it is God that will purify His church at the Sabbath Test. Though it will appear that it is about to full, it will prove triumph at the end. Those in the SDA Church who are not sancified in the truth will go out and God will have a pure church to receive the latter rain, It is not by us leaving church. Hold fast till He comes for the cleansing of the temple is underway. Please contemplate on these passages below:
"The great issue so near at hand [enforcement of Sunday laws] will weed out those whom God has not appointed and He will have a pure, true, sanctified ministry prepared for the latter rain."--3SM 385 (1886). {LDE 179.2}
The church may appear as about to fall, but it does not fall. It remains, while the sinners in Zion will be sifted out--the chaff separated from the precious wheat. This is a terrible ordeal, but nevertheless it must take place.--2SM 380 (1886). {LDE 180.5}
"As the storm approaches, a large class who have professed faith in the third angel's message, but have
not been sanctified through obedience to the truth, abandon their position and join the ranks of the opposition."--GC 608 (1911). {LDE 180.6}

3>Laodecia allusion fantasy.
4>Wheat and the tares.
5>Who is the Church.
Firstly, let me greet you GRACETEST, AS A brother, sister. Why do your type always use pseudonyms; Why don't you identify yourselves by your given names? Are you hiding behind a religious facade? Will you also deny Christ like Peter (Cephas, Simon) did? When the push comes to persecution? Anyway, brethren I appreciate your comment and your sincere concern for the flock. Who is the Church of God? Is it the Corporate Structure? The buildings and real estate the SDA Corporate Registered Trademark, so closely controls? Let's be frank. The Church is comprised of faithful Christ like believers that have accepted Christ's gigt of savation, and will follow no one else. Read John Chapter 10.
Then on the wheat and tares, also the Laodecian Issue:
"Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off". Roman 11:22.
22My face will I turn also from them, and they shall pollute my secret place: for the robbers shall enter into it, and defile it.
23Make a chain: for the land is full of bloody crimes, and the city is full of violence.
24Wherefore I will bring the worst of the heathen, and they shall possess their houses: I will also make the pomp of the strong to cease; and their holy places shall be defiled.
25Destruction cometh; and they shall seek peace, and there shall be none.
26Mischief shall come upon mischief, and rumour shall be upon rumour; then shall they seek a vision of the prophet; but the law shall perish from the priest, and counsel from the ancients.
Ezekiel 7:22-26.
Read Ezekiel 34, and see what the Lord has in store for 'the haugthy shepherds', who mis-handle and claim God's flock as their own...
14They have blown the trumpet, even to make all ready; but none goeth to the battle: for my wrath is upon all the multitude thereof.
15The sword is without, and the pestilence and the famine within: he that is in the field shall die with the sword; and he that is in the city, famine and pestilence shall devour him.
16But they that escape of them shall escape, and shall be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them mourning, every one for his iniquity.
Ezekiel 7: 14-16.
4Trust ye not in lying words, saying, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, are these. ...
9Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other gods whom ye know not;
10And come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered to do all these abominations?
11Is this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, even I have seen it, saith the LORD.
12But go ye now unto my place which was in Shiloh, where I set my name at the first, and see what I did to it for the wickedness of my people Israel.
13And now, because ye have done all these works, saith the LORD, and I spake unto you, rising up early and speaking, but ye heard not; and I called you, but ye answered not;
14Therefore will I do unto this house, which is called by my name, wherein ye trust, and unto the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I have done to Shiloh.
15And I will cast you out of my sight, as I have cast out all your brethren, even the whole seed of Ephraim.
16Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them, neither make intercession to me: for I will not hear thee.
Jeremiah 7:4, 9-16.
4Moreover thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD; Shall they fall, and not arise? shall he turn away, and not return?
5Why then is this people of Jerusalem slidden back by a perpetual backsliding? they hold fast deceit, they refuse to return.
6I hearkened and heard, but they spake not aright: no man repented him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? every one turned to his course, as the horse rusheth into the battle.
7Yea, the stork in the heaven knoweth her appointed times; and the turtle and the crane and the swallow observe the time of their coming; but my people know not the judgment of the LORD.
8How do ye say, We are wise, and the law of the LORD is with us? Lo, certainly in vain made he it; the pen of the scribes is in vain.
9The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken: lo, they have rejected the word of the LORD; and what wisdom is in them?
10Therefore will I give their wives unto others, and their fields to them that shall inherit them: for every one from the least even unto the greatest is given to covetousness, from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely.
11For they have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.
12Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore shall they fall among them that fall: in the time of their visitation they shall be cast down, saith the LORD.
Jeremiah 8: 4-12.
As far as the Church, will it fall?
The Church will not, but everything that can be shaken-up will be shaken. That Church, again, is not the worldly trademark Church, brethren! It is the true Church of God. The ones dispersed through out the world, who have the testimony of Jesus, and keep hos commandments. Not the perpetrator bench warmers who follow Celebration, Applause, Jewelry and adornments, who enjoy the same entertainment as the world does. Who flocked in droves to go see "The Passion of The Christ", with the rationale: Surely, Sister White would not frown upon going to the Theater to such films? In essence following all the customs (christmas-easter {astarte})and traditions of the world, yet claiming to be the chosen people of God. What hypocrisy! Israel is truly, an obstinate people. Then, and now.
Can't you see the Saducces and Pharisees all around you congregations.
2Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.
3For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.
4They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.
5They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good. ...
21For the pastors are become brutish, and have not sought the LORD: therefore they shall not prosper, and all their flocks shall be scattered.
Jeremiah 10: 2-5, 21.
1The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron, and with the point of a diamond: it is graven upon the table of their heart, and upon the horns of your altars;
2Whilst their children remember their altars and their groves by the green trees upon the high hills.
3O my mountain in the field, I will give thy substance and all thy treasures to the spoil, and thy high places for sin, throughout all thy borders.
4And thou, even thyself, shalt discontinue from thine heritage that I gave thee; and I will cause thee to serve thine enemies in the land which thou knowest not: for ye have kindled a fire in mine anger, which shall burn for ever.
5Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.
6For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited.
7Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.
8For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.
9The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
10I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.
11As the partridge sitteth on eggs, and hatcheth them not; so he that getteth riches, and not by right, shall leave them in the midst of his days, and at his end shall be a fool.
12A glorious high throne from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary.
13O LORD, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee shall be ashamed, and they that depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken the LORD, the fountain of living waters.
14Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise.
Jeremiah 17: 1-14.
9Associate yourselves, O ye people, and ye shall be broken in pieces; and give ear, all ye of far countries: gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces.
10Take counsel together, and it shall come to nought; speak the word, and it shall not stand: for God is with us.
11For the LORD spake thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying,
12Say ye not, A confederacy, to all them to whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid.
13Sanctify the LORD of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.
14And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
15And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken.
16Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples.
17And I will wait upon the LORD, that hideth his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him.
18Behold, I and the children whom the LORD hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion.
19And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead?
20To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.
Isaiah 8: 9-20.
With participation in the World Council of Churches, the National Council of Churches, Bert B. Beach's gift of that SDA medallion to JPII in 1978, and participation as an NGO through ADRA, also active membership at the United Nations, when the Chaplain of the U.S. Senate is a SDA, all the talks with Lutherans, Episcopals, Catholics, etc.; On how to get-along? And you think that the Corporate Church has not stepped off the foundation? That a new organization is not needed, when the Conference has 'transformed' the faith once delivered to the saints? Please pray and ask for discernment.
"If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love." John 15:10.
Brethren, rest ye not on thine laurels, claiming the Church is un-moveable. Jesus is not a respecter of persons. He loves those that do His will. Not those that claim they are His, yet do their own thing!
"Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof."
Matthew 23: 43.
The Spirit of Prophesy, The Sanctuary message, The Three Angels' Messages, Justification by Faith, The Sabbath, The Medical Missionary Message-Health Reform, are all fundamental to the Seventh Day Adventist that I have come to know. I was born (52 years old) in the Church of a Seventh Day Adventist mother, who attended SDA schools. Please forgive my digressions, but I weeep and tremble for the abomination of a Church I see today: Advent Hope (name changes), Church's new Ecumenical Logo, Celebration, Doubt or, No SOP, Ecumenism (Communism), Lack of Leadership, Homosexualty condoned, Ordination of Women, Cultural 'Relativity' Emphasis, and the like. It is insulting, disgusting to think that God can call that Milieu His Church?
"The church is in the Laodicean state. the presence of god is not in her midst." --1NL 99 (1898).
'It has been some years since I have considered the General Conference as the voice of God.
--17MR 216, (1898).
If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha.--1 Corinthians 16:22.
If you should receive this as a sincere warning from an honest brother, peace. If not, continue your slumber; But, I tremble for you salvation.
Arsenio
