Seventh-Day Adventists believe that Michael the Archangel is Jesus. Would someone please help me understand this using Biblical references?
 
Rob, I read what you said and again ask that you stay focused on the primary topic.

Daniel 2, 45 claims that the Great God of Heaven PROMISED and assured that the only outcome would be victory. There is literally over 150 additional texts that are just as explicit as Daniel 2, 45 which affirm the exact same thing. With "God" swearing repeatedly that there was zero possibility of failure why is it so important for you (and other Adventists) to so tenaciously make God out to be a liar so that Ellen White can be true???

At this point I'm well aware you are not a Trinitarian, I get this and I'm not going to rebuke you for your beliefs on this. I'm only interested at this point of our conversation in understanding why you (& other Adventists) have zero problems allowing Ellen White to usurp God Almighty. It's really simple Rob. God said failure was not possible and Ellen comes along in the 19th century and gloats failure was very possible and that heaven itself was in peril while creature-christ was on probation. Why is that. Please stay focused.
 
Greetings Grunion

You said "Rob, I read what you said and again ask that you stay focused on the primary topic.

I am on the primary focus, but Catholics like yourself, have different word meanings of Hebrew words.

How do I know you read my discussion if you do not critically discuss my points I raised?
And since you didn't raise anything - where do we go from here?

You said: "why you (& other Adventists) have zero problems allowing Ellen White to usurp God Almighty.

We don't usurp God's authority or God's ability to make prophecy with 100% accuracy.

We see Jesus doing faith in His Father as a human doing faith, so He leaves us an example how to do faith and thus live a sinless life. Mrs White is touching on the humanity of Christ - that he could have sinned, just as humans do, but chose not to - She is not touching on His deity - He could not use his own deity - that would be a sin - He always used His Father's deity though faith.
Does this make sense to you? Try talking to me why it doesn't make sense to you?

If you read my posts, great . Do you agree a Christian can live a sinless life? Like Jesus did? Through faith?
We SDA people are not talking about the deity of Christ, but the humanity of Christ. Can't you see the difference. Jesus was both, 100% deity and 100% human.

Jesus showed us how to live a sinless life, and not break faith. To us SDA this us an amazing example for us.
Do you understand what we are saying? Apparently not because you say nothing?

You say : "that heaven itself was in peril while creature-christ was on probation.

The Father knows the future, so as you say Scripture tells us Jesus mission would be a success before He did anything in human form, so does this take away the human fragility of faith - or even the Divine risk of faith with a Devil in His World?
This is a question to you - so please answer it and let's get into primary topic.

Why did Jesus come to earth in the first place Grunion? Also about your primary topic, so please answer.

Didn't He come primarily, to show humans as a human Himself, how to live a life without sinning - entirely as a human? After all no human seems able to achieve this, except a few, like Elijah, Enoch whom God took as examples of humans living sinlessly by faith. Sure I get He died to pay for sin-offering and other problems we are born with, but the most important mission is to show us how to live a sinless life. I do not read this in Catholic literature? There seems a problem with understanding faith?

Do you support the idea that the Father and the Son and the Holy support each other by faith? Please answer the question as it directly relates to your primary topic.

The ten commandments are faith principles and as eternal as God the Father is eternal and the angels and humans live a sinless life through these faith principles of love. This also means the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit also live by these faith principles in the moral law - these principles are eternal and cannot be changed. Do you agree to this idea? Please answer as this also directly affects your primary topic.

So when Mrs White is speaking of faith demonstrated by our Divine and Deity Saviour, she is referring to His humanity showing us how to live by faith. He used nothing we cannot use. He used free will and prayed to His Father. And like a human He got tired and slept, and took rests. He was also tempted to break faith by the Devil. That verse Catholics twist this to mean His humanity had an advantage over the Devil, that Jesus used his own deity to over come temptation. That would not be an example of faith to us. Instead Jesus used His Father's deity through faith, the same process any sinning human can use to become sinless.

Now you have to discuss my discussion so I know what your agreeing to or not. All these questions DIRECTLY impact your primary topic.

Shalom
