Messengers Preface: We understand that is impossible to teach the Truth concerning Who the
Holy Spirit is without coming into direct confrontation with this image of jealousy which the
SDA denomination has placed at the gate of entry: at the top of our 2 !undamental "eliefs
Therefore by decree of heaven we were compelled to meet it and make this important message
one of the 7 seven present truth messages flowing from the ision of !hrist revealed through
Habakkuk the prophet"
#ut this message is not only in e$posing the S%& Trinity doctrine as error' in the second half of
the study the focus shifts to the ad#ancing $ight from the sanctuarywhich the Trinity
doctrine has effectively hidden from us' though the things brought forth have been right before
us in the %ay of &tonement chapter( $e#iticus %&'
This is a long message" )ray and take time' maybe studying the first part e$posing the deception
of the Trinity and why it forbids the acceptance of the messages heaven has bidden us to give*
then after proper contemplation' read through and consider the +atter ,ain message of the
second half( $ight from the sanctuary( considering how these Present )ruth messages are
taught in type( in the ser#ices of the Day of Atonement in $e#iticus chapter %&'2222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222
3avin) stated the 'ur'ose of this 'articular study before )oin) into the
'rinci'les it is im'ortant to state %hy in $od4s order this is necessary* 5any %ho
have any 6no%led)e of the subject of the Trinity 6no% this issue as a 78R9 divisive
issue and most havin) that 6no%led)e may feel inclined to stay a%ay from
discussion concernin) this* e 'ray that you %ould tarry and consider %hat %e say;
for this is an issue %hich must be addressed*
e %ill no% state the reasons %hy in $od4s order %e must seriously address
the Trinity doctrine before the end come: &The Lord's time to set things in orderhas fully come*+ ,.!5R //

.*# >n doin) so the church has &set up false standards+ (or )iven false%itness#; the church has allo%ed &the banner (to#be lo%ered+ because its doctrinal
committees have &abandon(ed# their 'osition and join(ed# the ran6s of the

denomination come to see vital doctrines such as the $odhead (@ . of .t is not as if it %as necessaryto acce't a version of the Trinity to e'ress
the Truth about $od* The SDA church did not confess a Trinity as lon) as 8$ %as
alive and she %rote much in the %ay of doctrine and the 6no%led)e of $od* SDA4s
used terms li6e &The *odhead+ or &a 5eavenly Trio+ or a unity of &three Civin)

have ta6en a 'osition that ma6es our %itness to the %orld more indistinct and dullsthe line of demarcation bet%een the SDA ?or'orate ?hurch and Rome*
>t seems as thou)h the %ay the ?or'orate SDA ?hurch has chosen to e'ress
their belief in the Trinity is such that they can 'retend to a)ree %ith ?atholics and
8van)elicals if threatened %ith bein) called a &cult+ or heretics for not believin) the
orthodo conce'tion of $od in the Trinity %hile at the same time claim that their

belief in the Trinity is in line %ith the Bible and true to the %ritin)s of 8$ called
&the S'irit of Iro'hecy+But is the latter su''osition true
Three issues still to address
Oo% let us consider the follo%in) three items before movin) on to discussthe sanctuary li)ht %hich the Trinity doctrine has been bloc6in):
= the Trinity error the ?or'orate SDA ?hurch at 'resent time clearly acce'ts
= the lethal consePuences of acce'tin) and promotingerror
= ho% rejection of li)ht and acce'tance of error in its 'lace %ill ultimately aLect
our stance on the Sabbath*
The Trinity error which is universal to any version accepted
hile it cannot be clearly demonstrated %hether the ?or'orate SDA ?hurch
believes in a ?onsubstantial Trinity as do the ?atholics (as %e e'lained earlier the
%ordin) in the full e'lanation tet in the .< fundamental beliefs body for the Trinity
is not denitive as %hether they acce't or reject a ?onsubstantial Trinity# %e %ill
no% sho% %hat error is still clearly acce'ted* To be sure this error is ubiPuitous to
anybelief in the Trinity no matter %hat version of it one es'ouses* 8very version of
the Trinity doctrine teaches that $od the Father Jesus the Son and the 5oly &pirit
%ere alwaysthree separateIersons from all eternity 'ast even before the
entrance of sin H %hile simultaneously e'lainin) that they are Gne bein)* These
t%o 'oints are necessary for any Trinity es'ousal* Biblically s'ea6in) and in the li)ht
of the S'irit of Iro'hecy these t%o fundamental su''ositions of the Trinity are false*
hile %e 6no% that certainly the 3oly S'irit eisted for all eternity 5e was notseparate from the Person of ;esus ,hrist until the Incarnation %hen Jesus
came do%n from heaven and too6 u'on 3im humanity (this %e revie%ed in the

The S'irit of Iro'hecy also reveals to us that:
&?hrist the ord the only be)otten of $od %as one %ith the eternal
Father==one in nature in character in 'ur'ose==the onlybeingthat could enterinto all the counsels and 'ur'oses of $od*+ ,Iatriarchs and Iro'hets 'a)e 0/*!1
8$ declares that Jesus %as &the onlybeingthat could enter into allthe counsels and 'ur'oses of $od+>f the 3oly S'irit %as a se'arate Ierson since
eternity 'ast %as 3e not admitted into all $od4s counsels and 'ur'oses:
Jesus and 3is 3oly S'irit %ere not se'arated until the incarnation; the 3oly
S'irit %as se'arated as an eternal sacrice in consePuence of the entrance of sin
into $od4s universe* Jesus is called &the Camb slain from the foundation of the
world+ this re'resents &the 'ain that from its very ince'tion sin has brou)ht to
the heart of $od+; but in the be)innin) before the ince'tion of sin it %as not so*
&The ince'tion of sin+ made it necessary &accordin) to the revelation of the
mystery %hich %as 6e't secret since the %orld be)an+ that the eternal sacrice of
Jesus em'tyin) 3imself of 3is G%n 3oly S'irit and the creation of the earth andhumans must be accom'lished and because of these thin)s ta6in) 'lace Jesus
%ould come to earth and die in man4s 'lace as a substitutionary Sacrice*
&But as for (Cucifer# 3he! thought evil against 3us!= but *od meant it unto
good( to bring to pass( as it is this day( to save much people alive+
$en*:.
The belief that the 3oly S'irit has been a se'arate Ierson from Jesus for all
eternity even before the >ncarnation ecli'ses many revealedTruths %hich are
necessary to receive advancin) li)ht until 'erfection* The most im'ortant of these
truths the Trinity hides from vie% is the understandin) %e must have that the 3olyS'irit is )iven to us throu)h Jesus as &the Soul of Hislife+ %hich 3e 'oured out in an
eternal sacrice so that %e mi)ht receive 3is o%n everlastin) Cife* This the church
should clearly teach and 'romul)ate and a''ly this understandin) to %hat she

wea$en and diminish the diine ma(esty to which no earthly li$eness can "e com!ared. The
word !erson% is still a !oor way of e)!ressing the reality. Here more than anywhere else in
theology are we reminded of the !urely hy!othetical character of our s!eculations. Therefore,
we must confess that the Trinity is one indiisi"le God and that the distinctions of the *ersons
do not destroy the diine unity. This unity of God is e)!ressed "y saying that He is onesu"stance. +eertheless, in the diine unity there are three coeternal and coe-ual *ersons,
who, though distinct, are the ne undiided and adora"le God. This is the doctrine of
