Will there ever be a "US Sunday Blue Law" that takes hold internationally? Will SDA be persecuted for failing to abide by it; and will they have to run from the cities because of it? Will Protestantism + Catholicism be its sponsor in response to natural disasters of unprecedented levels? The answer to all those questions, according to the Bible, is a big yawn! In other words, it really doesn't figure in the grand scheme of things. Instead, Jesus said, "THIS GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and THEN the end will come." The question is, "What is THIS gospel of the Kingdom; and are you preaching it, or have you been derailed by false prophecies?" While I agree sharing the gospel is key, I do not agree the mark of the beast crisis is a "big yawn". Revelation 14 makes it very clear. You ask, "What is THIS gospel of the Kingdom; and are you preaching it, or have you been derailed by false prophecies?" Excellent question, and by far the most important question to answer. Of course, the gospel includes Rev 14. However, as you said, avoiding receiving the mark of the beast is not more important than receiving the seal of the God. "This gospel" is explained in wonderful detail in books like Desire of Ages, Great Controversy, Steps to Christ, Mount of Blessing, and Christ's Object Lessons. My favorite part of the gospel is "Christ in you, the hope of glory".

Are you talking about my wife? Are you mocking a Christian woman on her wedding day who outshines you in the righteousness of Christ a thousand fold? A righteous woman who kept her virginity till she was married at 40. In the name of Jesus, Father please reveal the wickedness of this man before the universe. He mocks your servant Mellythia who was chaste till her wedding day. He mocks someone who has devoted her life to you Father. Show this man how forgiven he is for making such judgments against her. Please reveal the shame that he brings on the name of your Son. If he was not a virgin (if and) when he was married or even if he fantasized about someone else then do not forgive him for his shame. Judge this man Gordon the same way he has publically judged my wife Father. Show him his shame in full color Father, in the name of Jesus amen. You are never to speak of my wife again.
Search me oh God and know my heart, test me and know my anxious thoughts, see if there is any offensive way in me and lead me to the way everlasting. Amen

You differentiate between the word that God gave Mrs White from the words that God gave Paul? Are there two messages? I didn't get the memo. This is why you are losing faith in the fulfillment of prophecy.

The lesser light pointing to the greater light is still light from heaven, not from Mrs White.
Seventh Day Adventists who are wishy washy about the Spirit of Prophecy will soon leave the church. What a shame.
"Every advance of God’s servants at the head of the work has been watched with suspicion by those who have had a spirit of insurrection, and all their actions have been misrepresented by the fault-finding, until honest souls have been drawn into the snare for want of correct knowledge. Those who lead them astray are so affected themselves by blind prejudice, and by rejecting the testimonies God has sent them, that they cannot see or hear aright. It is as difficult to undeceive some of these who have permitted themselves to be led into rebellion, as it was to convince the rebellious Israelites that they were wrong, and that Moses and Aaron were right. Even after God, in a miraculous manner, caused the earth to swallow up Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, the leaders in the rebellion, the people still would have it that Moses and Aaron were wrong, and that they had killed the people of the Lord.{1SP 308.1}
You are very wrong for siding with the heathen on this issue Mountain Man. You are becoming changed. You aren't the same man as you were.
Search me oh God and know my heart, test me and know my anxious thoughts, see if there is any offensive way in me and lead me to the way everlasting. Amen

Virtually Rejecting the Testimonies—You have talked over matters as you viewed them, that the communications from Sister White are not all from the Lord, but a portion is her own mind, her own judgment, which is no better than anybody else’s judgment and ideas. This is one of Satan’s hooks to hang your doubts upon to deceive your soul and the souls of others who will dare to draw the line in this matter and say, this portion which pleases me is from God, but that portion which points out and condemns my course of conduct is from Sister White alone, and bears not the holy signet. You have in this way virtually rejected the whole of the messages, which God in his tender, pitying love has sent to you to save you from moral ruin.... {3SM 68.3} There is One back of me which is the Lord, who has prompted the message which you now reject and disregard and dishonor. By tempting God you have unnerved yourselves, and confusion and blindness of mind has been the result.—Letter 16, 1888. {3SM 69.1}
This is what you just did Mountain Man wether you admit it or not.
Search me oh God and know my heart, test me and know my anxious thoughts, see if there is any offensive way in me and lead me to the way everlasting. Amen

"This gospel" is explained in wonderful detail in books like Desire of Ages, Great Controversy, Steps to Christ, Mount of Blessing, and Christ's Object Lessons. My favorite part of the gospel is "Christ in you, the hope of glory". 1. What is the "mark of the beast crisis"? 2. True 3. Jesus explained it very well enough this way: "Come, you blessed of My Father, INHERIT THE KINGDOM prepared for you from the foundation of the world." That's the good news of the Kingdom. It is the place of salvation and happiness; and all those who go there would have truly loved God and their neightbour as themselves: "I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me." ///

And now, brethren, I entreat you not to interpose between me and the people, and turn away the light which God would have come to them. Do not by your criticisms take out all the force, all the point and power, from the Testimonies. Do not feel that you can dissect them to suit your own ideas, claiming that God has given you ability to discern what is light from heaven and what is the expression of mere human wisdom. If the Testimonies speak not according to the word of God, reject them. Christ and Belial cannot be united. For Christ’s sake do not confuse the minds of the people with human sophistry and skepticism, and make of none effect the work that the Lord would do. Do not, by your lack of spiritual discernment, make of this agency of God a rock of offense whereby many shall be caused to stumble and fall, “and be snared, and be taken.”125 {CCh 96.1}
You men have crossed a very ugly line.
Search me oh God and know my heart, test me and know my anxious thoughts, see if there is any offensive way in me and lead me to the way everlasting. Amen

One thing is certain: Those Seventh-day Adventists who take their stand under Satan’s banner will first give up their faith in the warnings and reproofs contained in the Testimonies of God’s Spirit.—Selected Messages 3:84 (1903). {LDE 177.4} The very last deception of Satan will be to make of none effect the testimony of the Spirit of God. “Where there is no vision, the people perish” (Proverbs 29:18). Satan will work ingeniously, in different ways and through different agencies, to unsettle the confidence of God’s remnant people in the true testimony.—Selected Messages 1:48 (1890). {LDE 177.5}
