Soy adventista, de nacimiento y educado. También soy bastante culto y leído. También me considero una persona moral, que se esfuerza por tener una alta integridad. Ahora, al igual que muchos de ustedes, lectores, tengo preguntas sobre doctrinas particulares de la iglesia, como la teoría del maizal de Hiram Edson que se convirtió en nuestra […] Source: https://atoday.org/envolverse-con-los-pensadores-contemporaneos-el-espiritu-divino-omnipresente/
Daily Lesson for Thursday 13th of March 2025
Ultimately, God’s name is vindicated in every way. Through the work of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in the plan of redemption, the perfect righteousness and love of God is manifested beyond any reasonable doubt (see Romans 3:25-26; Romans 5:8).

In Romans 3:1-31 and Isaiah 5:1-30, we see that God (in some limited sense) invites mere creatures to judge His character, even though we have no right or standing to do so. In the end, when all the “books” are opened, we will see the evidence that God is perfectly just and righteous. God will vindicate Himself before all intelligent creation.
Throughout Scripture, God shows concern for His name. Why? You cannot have a deep love relationship with someone whose character you detest or do not trust. If someone told your spouse or spouse-to-be horrible lies about your character, you would do what you could to counter any such claims, for if such claims are believed, they would fracture your love relationship.
In the end, God is vindicated at the cross and through the entire plan of redemption. In the pre-Advent judgment, God is vindicated before the onlooking universe.
Then, in the post-Advent judgment, during which the redeemed will even “judge angels” (1 Corinthians 6:2-3), God is vindicated, as the redeemed have been given the opportunity to review the records and see for themselves why God has acted as He has, and that all of God’s judgments have always and only been perfectly righteous and loving. Who among us doesn’t have a lot of questions that need answering? Before it’s all done, we will have those questions answered (see 1 Corinthians 4:5).
Finally, every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord (Philippians 2:10-11). This is all part of the vindication of the character of God.

12 March 2025 | From its inception, Seventh-day Adventism has relied on an apocalyptic worldview derived from Millerism and the apocalyptic passages in the Bible. While these ideas still shape Adventist teaching and evangelism, in recent decades critical questions have been raised regarding the biblical validity, theological potency, and contemporary relevance of this apocalyptic imprint.

by Daniel Zwiker | 11 March 2025 | A discussion is going on right now among sociologists about whether the Western culture of guilt is developing into a culture of shame. Guilt is feeling bad about something we’ve done, while shame is deeper than that: it is about what we believe we are. The Western […] Source: https://atoday.org/how-jesus-unshames-the-shamed/
