I was wondering all along about Elce's religious background.Thank you man for this interview.Just a word of advice to him.Knowledge of these terms Hermeneutics, exegesis is important but there are far more important methods you can use to understand difficult scriptural texts better.1. Dan 1v18-19.seek or desire the mercy on such things.2. Dan 8v15 seek for the truth moreso through prayer.Dan 9v20-22 speaks again of prayer and fasting.The problem that I see with most scholars is you tend to rely more on your theological prowess to understand deep things of God than simple methods as taught by Christ.Rarely these days would you find a theologian who say, I prayed and fasted for to understand,it's all about hermeneutics and exegesis.Guys let's humble ourselves before God and stop these counter accusations which will only help further division among Christians.If adventism or Ellen is wrong, the last day events will prove Christ's method alone for presenting truth will carry us through.As an Adventist myself I say we still love you Elce.

The interesting fact here is that at one point the world believed the world was flat and that one would fall off the face of the earth of they walked to far. In much the same way historical Christianity has many errors and have historically has blood on its hands, the beliefs held by them then were not correct that's why it's called "tradition." We know pedobaptism is not Biblical. And people who challenged baptizing infants, the Anabaptists (rebaptizers), against the MAJORITY held position on pedobaptism killed those people. So no the historical traditions of the faith have to be checked that's why the Protestant Reformation occurred, to "REFORM" the church. Ellen White is not the Spirit of prophecy! She was given the GIFT of prophecy which is the ability to understand and dispenser with the prophetic word. Her writings are bona fide. Don't listen to this false prophet. Compare her worms to the Word and see if she is not pointing people to the GREATER light and it's source, Jesus Christ. The Bible determines who is a true or prophet not disagreements with doctrine!

Instead of questioning and caviling concerning that which they do not understand, let them give heed to the light which already shines upon them, and they will receive greater light.

The truths most plainly revealed in the Bible have been involved in doubt and darkness by learned men, who, with a pretense of great wisdom, teach that the Scriptures have a mystical, a secret, spiritual meaning not apparent in the language employed. These men are false teachers. It was to such a class that Jesus declared: “Ye know not the Scriptures, neither the power of God.” Mark 12:24. The language of the Bible should be explained according to its obvious meaning, unless a symbol or figure is employed. Christ has given the promise: “If any man will do His will, he shall know of the doctrine.” John 7:17. If men would but take the Bible as it reads, if there were no false teachers to mislead and confuse their minds, a work would be accomplished that would make angels glad and that would bring into the fold of Christ thousands upon thousands who are now wandering in error

Elce, why do you not use the trustworthy King James Bible, since the Adventist doctrines come directly from the study of the Old and New Testaments in the KJV and NOT, as some people claim, from Ellen White. The genealogy of the King James is traced directly back to the PRESERVED writings of the apostles, proven in the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls. The ESV is NOT the preserved Word of God. It has more than 33,000 words REMOVED from the New Testament alone, so no wonder you can't find the SDA doctrines in it. Please respond.

Ellen White was RIGHT when she said "Protestants would reach across the gulf to clasp hands with the Roman power"...that happened in 1999 when the Lutherans and Catholics signed their Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification! Since then, more Protestants including Methodists, Anglicans and the World Communion of Reformed Churches endorsed it and the Pentecostal World Fellowship is enthused about joining. Also the Global Christian Forum, when they all conveyed messages in June 2024 near Geneva. SO EGW's prophecy is being fulfilled!

Covetousness has now being called "good christian stewardship" Covetousness is an abomination what causes true Love to wax cold ( Math 24:12-15 ( KJV) is NOT dietary issue. Repeat of 1st temple. Teachers promise blessings for donations ( even if taken by force or deception. No HE will NOT bless this ) and many expect tax deductions too from athestic Gov lol.

EJ great video! I’ve been arguing with Ivor in his comments section and it is amazing to me how he talks in circles, avoids answering direct questions and sets up straw-men…..and seems proud of himself in the process. Can I ask you a question? In his first scapegoat video he had a part where he basically said that we believe “Jesus is Azazel”. I pointed out to him that we believe he is “the goat for Azazel” but that doesn’t mean we believe he “is Azazel.” He didn’t seem to understand the distinction I was making. He talked circles and then changed terms on me. He then changed it to “don’t you believe Jesus is the Scapegoat?” That seems like a completely different claim to me. Am I wrong? If somebody asked me, “is Jesus typified by the Scapegoat?” I’d say yes. If they asked “is he Azazel” I’d answer that with a hard no. Am I wrong?
@ReverendThunder
@ReverendThunder 2 месяца назад
Thank you. Yes, Ivor is like that. I understand your point. However, "is Azazel" or "for Azazel" is immaterial when you get to the root of it. Azazel was simply a type. And at it's root, the word means for sending away, removal, expiation. So the scapegoat is literally the goat for removal, expiation (Azazel).
@ReverendThunder
@ReverendThunder 2 месяца назад
From Hiding In Plain Sight Vol. 1, p. 262-3: Because the text says one goat “for Azazel,” Adventists think that this proves that Azazel was Satan himself who a goat was being sent to in order to appease him and thus make atonement for Israel.245 But this is a horrendous conclusion. There are better explanations and conclusions than that. The International Standard Bible Encyclopedia aptly notes: Both goats, according to Leviticus 16:5, are to be regarded as a single sin-sacrifice, even should we interpret Azazel as demon or Satan, and we are accordingly not at all to understand that a sacrifice was brought to these beings. This too is made impossible by the whole tenor of the Old Testament in general, as of Leviticus 16 in particular, so that in 16:8 the two members introduced by the preposition [le-] would not at all be beings of exactly the same importance. Both goats, so to say, represent two sides of the same thing. The second is necessary to make clear what the first one, which has been slain, can no longer represent, namely, the removal of the sin, and accordingly has quite often aptly been called the hircus redivivus. But what is to be represented finds its expression in the ceremony described in 16:20f.246 The author went on to justify that “for Azazel” should best be translated as “removal,” “sending away,” “releasing” or “dismissal.”247 Therefore, “for Azazel” should be understood as “for removal,” “for sending away,” “for releasing,” or “for dismissal,” and not “for Satan.” Adventists insisting that the scapegoat symbolizes Satan makes absolutely no sense because if the scapegoat is already Satan, how can it be “sent to Satan” (“for Azazel”) to bear away sin? Satan (the scapegoat) being sent away to Satan to atone for sin is ludicrous and heretical on many levels. But this is the logical end of the Adventist belief.
