Las actuales decisiones del gobierno de los Estados Unidos, están rompiendo la separación entre la iglesia y el estado; imponiendo un gobierno centralizado en el ejecutivo, ignorando las demás ramas de gobierno (poder judicial y legislativo); construyendo un nuevo orden político, inconstitucional, y mientras eso sucede, la Asociación (Conferencia) General de los Adventistas del Séptimo […] Source: https://atoday.org/la-incoherencia-consistente/
Daily Lesson for Sunday 6th of April 2025
Most academic programs begin with a general survey course (often given the number “101”), a course that covers broad and basic principles that will form the basis for further study as you dig deeper into the subject. Likewise, when you read through the entire Bible, you quickly discover that God also has a general survey course in the book of Genesis, where He introduces ideas that will be examined in more detail throughout the rest of the Bible.

Generally speaking, the first time a concept or symbol is mentioned in the Bible—particularly in the opening chapters of Genesis—you will discover that it establishes a general understanding of that concept, which will help you understand how it’s being used later on.
Some Bible students refer to this as the “law of first mention,” although it would more properly be labeled a principle (or a pattern) rather than a law, because it is certainly not ironclad, and there are many exceptions to the rule. The pattern that seems to emerge, both in general Bible study and in Bible prophecy, is that God slowly feeds His children information over time, beginning with a basic concept and then enlarging on it many times over the years, or even the centuries.
Much of the modern world speaks about “truthiness” instead of “truth,” because it is assumed that “truth” is a malleable thing that can change over time. Or, in some cases, the very concept of “truth” itself is deemed suspect.
When God establishes truth, however, He does not change His mind. Once He begins teaching His people truth, we can count on the fact that repetitions of the same biblical principle or theme do not change its meaning but, in contrast, shed further light on that meaning. It makes great sense in studying prophecy, therefore, to develop a good understanding of the book of Genesis, where you find many key concepts explained for the first time, and then take that foundational understanding with you as you explore the rest of the Bible.

Why is it so important that we not allow anyone or anything, no matter how smooth or logical, to weaken our faith in the Bible and the infallible truths it teaches? What are subtle ways that this weakening can happen? |

I was 11 when the Adventist Church first crushed me. My missionary parents lost their jobs due to ruthless decisions at an Adventist higher education institution. Church politics had spiraled, and the fallout was brutal. To a mature adult, it might have been merely disappointing; to me, it shattered my world. I said goodbye to […] Source: https://atoday.org/editorial-navigating-adventisms-shadow-side/
