In part 4 of this study, we have learned that, as followers of Christ
Jesus, we are to believe that He is in The Father, and that The
Father is in Him, Who does HIS works through Him.
The words that He spoke unto His disciples, are the words that He
spoke not of Himself, but of The Father, WHO dwells in Him. And
He did the works to bear Witness of The Father, to give HIM glory
for doing the works that HE sent Him to do.
As Jesus said to the Jews in defining the works of GOD, He said
the works of GOD is to believe on Him, Whom HE has sent.
Jesus sets The Example to all, who will follow Him, as The Only
Way to The Father, and He said of those, who will follow Him that
they will do the same works that He does.
And if we are followers of Christ Jesus, to do the same works that
He does, then as He works out The Father’s Will in and through
us, we will give Him the glory, to bear witness of Him, Who dwells
in us. For He will do The Father’s Will, WHO works through Him
in us to the glory of The Father.
But how can the church give Christ Jesus glory if they don’t
know Who dwells in them, that He might give glory to The Father
to accomplish HIS works in and through them?
If Christ Jesus is of flesh and blood, to be like His brethren, and
His Father’s SPIRIT was dwelling in Him, working out HIS Will
through Him, then if the church is the body of Christ Jesus, and
we are called to believe on Him, Whom The Father has sent, to do
the same works as He does through us, then, Whose Spirit is It
that dwell in the body of His church?
Those, who received Christ Jesus, and were following Him, He
said, If you love Me keep my Commandments. Yet, as a result of
not knowing The Spirit, Who dwells in the body of His church, to
work out The Father’s Will, to give HIM glory in His member,
many of the members of His church, who are called upon to give
Him glory for doing His Father’s Will through them; they are not
doing His Will of keeping His Commandments, to give Him the
glory for doing His Father’s Will in and through them.
Just as the works that Christ Jesus did bore witness that The
Father was working out His Will through Him, the keeping of His
Commandments is a sign that Christ’s Spirit is abiding within the
members of those, who obey Him.
If the members are not believing on Him, to keep His
Commandments, then there is another spirit at work in leading
His members to disobey His Will.
Although Jesus said He was going to The Father, and would send
to His church another Comforter, He tells the member of His body
that it is He, Who will come unto them and dwell with them. But
the world will not see Him. Yet, He was dwelling there with them
in a body just like them. Yet He said that He was going to be with
them, and the world will not see Him.
And because Judas did not understand, we have learned from
Jesus that He could not be in them with His physical body of flesh
and blood, but He could be in them with His Own Spirit, Who
could be in all, who receive Him. And The Father will be in Him.
And because the world cannot see Him, or know Him to receive Him, many of
the members of His body--the church are following the teachings of the world,
to believe that GOD’S Word is a Mystery. They are believing the teachings of
false prophets, who are of the world.
But Jesus said to His disciples,
who love Him…
If a man love Me, he will keep My
words: and My Father will love him,
and We will come unto him, and make
our abode with him.
He that loves Me not keeps not My
sayings: and The Word which you hear
is not Mine, but The Father's which sent
Me.
Notice that Jesus said something to His disciples, which many today read in His
words, but they, like His seventy disciples, are not digesting, or catching what
He is saying to them by His words. But Jesus has reveal His words to those,
who love Him. And John has testified of Him and said…
“He was in the world, and the world was made by
him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his
own, and his own received him not. But as many as
received him, to them gave he power to become the
sons of God, [even] to them that believe on his
name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the
will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God”
(John 1:10-13).
Although there are many false prophets in the world today, who believe not in
The Word of GOD, Whom The Father has sent; Ellen G. White was not a false
prophet, as some have claimed. Like Isaiah, who said, “Who has believed our
report?” She was a true prophet of GOD and HIS Word, Who came unto her.

Ellen G.
White
Why do many believe that she has made a change from one belief to another? It
is because of What GOD has revealed to her by HIS Word, and they with the
world’s view have drawn a different conclusion from her writings. She said…
“The Comforter that Christ promised to send after He
ascended to heaven, is the Spirit in all the fullness of the
Godhead, making manifest the power of divine grace to all
who receive and believe in Christ as a personal Saviour.
There are three living persons of the heavenly trio. In the
name of these three powers,--the Father, the Son, and the
Holy Ghost, those who receive Christ by living faith are
baptized, and these powers will cooperate with the obedient
subjects of heaven in their efforts to live the new life in
Christ. (Bible Training School, The Father, Son, and Holy
Ghost, March 1, 1906 par. 2)
Notice that from the words written by Ellen G. White, many are not able to
discern whether she was of The Spirit of Truth, or of the spirit of error.
The quote presented appears to be in support for The Trinity doctrine. Many do
not see how this quote supports The Scriptures, and not a Trinitarian view.

Ellen G.
White
According to The Counsel given through John on how we might discern and
know The Spirit of GOD from the spirit of antichrist, he said of Christ Jesus,
Who said, If a man love Me, he will keep My words: and My Father will love
him, and We will come unto him, and make our abode with him. John said…
“But as many as received him, to them gave he
power to become the sons of God, [even] to them
that believe on his name: Which were born, not of
blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of
man, but of God. And the Word was made flesh, and
dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory
as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace
and truth” (John 1:12-14).
To understand and discern The Truth of the words given to Ellen G. White, we
must believe on The Word of GOD, Whom HE has sent. For He is The Truth.

the Word was with

But after man sinned against GOD and HIS Word, His servant has revealed…
“All through the pages of sacred history, where the
dealings of God with His chosen people are recorded,
there are burning traces of the great I AM. . . . In all
these revelations of the divine presence, the glory of God
was manifested through Christ. Not alone at the
Saviour's advent, but through all the ages after the fall
and the promise of redemption, "God was in Christ,
reconciling the world unto himself." Christ was the
foundation and center of the sacrificial system in both the
patriarchal and the Jewish age. Since the sin of our first
parents, there has been no direct communication between
God and man.
“The Father has given the world into the hands of Christ,
that through His mediatorial work He may redeem man,
and vindicate the authority and holiness of the law of
God. All the communion between heaven and the fallen
race has been through Christ. It was the Son of God that
gave to our first parents the promise of redemption. It
was He who revealed Himself to the patriarchs. Adam,
Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Moses understood the
gospel. They looked for salvation through man's
Substitute and Surety. . . . (That I Might Know Him,
Page 102)
Notice that GOD has manifested HIS works through Christ--The Word of GOD
in creating all things by Him, Who gave HIM the glory.
Since the sin of our
first parents, there
has been no direct

man.
GOD--The
Father,

to all the prophets, who
received Him, Who is
Spirit.
All through the ages after the fall
of man, GOD spoke by HIS Word.
Adam
Noah
Abraham
Isaac
Jacob
Moses
They all received GOD’S Promise of HIS Word, to send a Seed of a woman.
And in the age with Moses with the children of Israel, The Word said by him…
“The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from
the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye
shall hearken; According to all that thou desiredst of the
LORD thy God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying,
Let me not hear again the voice of the LORD my God,
neither let me see this great fire any more, that I die not.
And the LORD said unto me, They have well [spoken that]
which they have spoken. I will raise them up a Prophet
from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my
words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I
shall command him. And it shall come to pass, [that]
whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall
speak in my name, I will require [it] of him” (Deuteronomy
18:15-19).
Notice that Moses testified of The LORD, WHO spoke by HIS Word through
him unto the children of Israel. He was also obedient in keeping GOD’S Law.
The LORD gave The Promise of HIS Word, to raise up a Prophet from the
midst of the children of Israel, to be like unto Moses, that they might hear The
LORD’S Voice by the receiving HIS Word.

The Word of The LORD came
unto them in The Glory of His
Father, to make known to men
HIS Will. But they received Him

not.
Why did GOD Promise by HIS Word to raise up a Prophet in the midst of the
children of Israel, to be like Moses? It was because they said….
Notice what the elders of Israel said when they did see and hear The Voice of
GOD’S Word speaking to them from the mount. Moses testified of them, saying
“And it came to pass, when ye heard the voice out of the
midst of the darkness, (for the mountain did burn with
fire,) that ye came near unto me, [even] all the heads of
your tribes, and your elders; And ye said, Behold, the
LORD our God hath shewed us his glory and his greatness,
and we have heard his voice out of the midst of the fire: we
have seen this day that God doth talk with man, and he
liveth. Now therefore why should we die? for this great fire
will consume us: if we hear the voice of the LORD our God
any more, then we shall die. For who [is there of] all flesh,
that hath heard the voice of the living God speaking out of
the midst of the fire, as we [have], and lived?”
(Deuteronomy 5:23-26).
“Go thou near, and hear all that the LORD our God shall
say: and speak thou unto us all that the LORD our God
shall speak unto thee; and we will hear [it], and do [it]. And
the LORD heard the voice of your words, when ye spake
unto me; and the LORD said unto me, I have heard the
voice of the words of this people, which they have spoken
unto thee: they have well said all that they have spoken. O
that there were such an heart in them, that they would fear
me, and keep all my commandments always, that it might
be well with them, and with their children for ever!”
(Deuteronomy 5:27-29).
Notice that the heads of the tribes and elders of Israel did say with their words
that they did not want to see The Great Fire, or hear GOD’S Voice to them.
But when GOD spoke by The Voice of HIS Word to them before, they said…
Although Moses being of flesh, heard and lives, they were led to change their
minds to let Moses mediate between GOD’S Word and them.
To hearken
to GOD’S Voice
Behold, The LORD our God
has showed us HIS Glory and
HIS Greatness, and we have
heard HIS Voice out of the
midst of The Fire: we have
seen this day that God doth
talk with man, and he lives.
To be like Moses
Or to hearken not
To GOD’S Voice
“Let me not hear again the
voice of the LORD my God,
neither let me see this great fire
any more, that I die not.”
The Word of The LORD came
unto them in The Glory of His
Father, to make known to men
HIS Will. But they received Him
Moses
not.
The heads of the tribes and elders of Israel promised and said, that they will
hear and do The Words that Moses would hear and speak unto them.
Notice that GOD was speaking by The Spirit of HIS Word, Who was received
by His Servant Moses, who spoke HIS Word of Life to the children of Israel.
Notice that GOD spoke by HIS Word unto Moses, who was one among his own
people. Moses did hear The Voice of GOD’S Word and he lives today.

Israel, “O that there
were such an heart in
them, that they would
fear me, and keep all
my commandments
always, that it might
be well with them,
and with their

GOD--The
Father,

GOD’S Word, HIS Son

GOD worked by HIS Word to prepared The way for The Promise of HIS
Prophet to come and be like Moses, to speak HIS Word of Life to Israel.

The Word of GOD came to John the Baptist, and Luke testified of him saying…
“Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar,
Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod being
tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of
Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the
tetrarch of Abilene, Annas and Caiaphas being the high
priests, the word of God came unto John the son of
Zacharias in the wilderness” (Luke 3:1, 2).
In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Luke testified of John the
Baptist, and said that The Word of GOD came unto him in the wilderness.

In the 15-th year of Tiberius Caesar
John the Baptist, being six months older than Jesus in birth, he testified of
Christ Jesus--The Son of Man, and the disciple John wrote of him saying...
“And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not
the Christ. And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias?
And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he
answered, No. Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that
we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest
thou of thyself? He said, I [am] the voice of one crying in
the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said
the prophet Esaias. And they which were sent were of the
Pharisees. And they asked him, and said unto him, Why
baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias,
neither that prophet?” (John 1:20-25).
“John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but
there standeth one among you, whom ye know not; He it is,
who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe's
latchet I am not worthy to unloose. These things were done
in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing”
(John 1:26, 27).
Notice that John the Baptist, testified that Christ Jesus was before him. He is
The Same Son of GOD, Who became also The Son of Man.
