Mientras escribo esto, han pasado unos cuantos meses desde la 61ª Sesión de la Asociación General (AG) de la Iglesia Adventista del Séptimo Día. Debido a la pandemia mundial de COVID-19, esta sesión tuvo que ser pospuesta dos veces (desde 2020). Dado que se trataba de la primera Sesión de la AG en la […] Source: https://atoday.org/reflexiones-sobre-la-sesion-2022-de-la-ag-mirando-hacia-2025/
Sabbath: Understanding Human Nature

Sabbath Afternoon
Read for This Week’s Study: Genesis 1:24-27; Genesis 2:7, Genesis 2:19; Matthew 10:28; Ecclesiastes 12:1-7; 1 Kings 2:10; 1 Kings 22:40.
Memory Text: “And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul” (Genesis 2:7).
The tension between God’s word, “You shall die” (Genesis 2:16-17, , NRSV) and Satan’s counterfeit promise, “You certainly will not die!” (Genesis 3:4, NASB) was not restricted to the Garden of Eden. It has echoed throughout history.
Many people try to harmonize the words of Satan with the words of God. For them, the warning, “You shall die” refers only to the perishable physical body, while the promise, “You certainly will not die!” is an allusion to an immortal soul or spirit.
But this approach doesn’t work. For example, can contradictory words of God and of Satan be harmonized? Is there an immaterial soul or spirit that consciously survives physical death? There are many philosophical and even scientific attempts to answer these questions. But, as Bible-based Christians, we must recognize that only the Almighty God, the One who created us, also knows us perfectly (see Psalm 139:1-24). Thus, only in His Word to us, the Scriptures, can we find answers to these crucial questions.
This week we will consider how the Old Testament defines human nature and the condition of human beings at death.
Study this week’s lesson to prepare for Sabbath, October 15.
Amen!

October 2022 President’s Video: “One of the Most Difficult Places . . .”
Dear Friend, During the last few years, I have shared news from some of the most remote and inhospitable places of the world, where God’s Word is reaching people directly in their homes through the power of radio. But there’s a mission field that is considered one of the most difficult—far above those of remote jungles—that still needs to be reached with the gospel message. I’m talking about the countries of Europe. Adventist World Radio has been diligently working to position radio stations throughout these countries with only one mission: to proclaim the good news that Jesus is coming soon! Watch this video, where I share news from Paris, France. We were there last month to dedicate an AWR station that will cover this populous city—and we already have stations in Marseille and Monaco! But there’s more, because this coming year, we’re launching one of our most daring projects yet: Europe for Christ, where we plan to reach all the major cities of Europe with live evangelistic series preached by all who are willing to join us in this project. I can’t wait to see what God will do in Europe—and I love that He will use Adventist World Radio—and you—to do it! Yours in the Blessed Hope, Duane McKey
