Dear Brothers and Sisters in IAUA (ee-ah-oo-ah) our Father,

Greetings on this day of preparation for the weekly Sabbath. I pray this newsletter finds you in good health and happy in the service of IAUA. This is the 7th day of the 8th month of God's Sacred Calendar in the estimated year 6014 Anno Mundi.

The Fall Sabbaths are past and the Spring Sabbaths begin in seven months with Unleavened Bread on the evening of the 15th day of the 1st month (Tuesday, April 19th on the 2011 Gregorian Calendar, beginning sunset on Monday, April18th).

An amazing thing occurs in the Gregorian Calendar years 2011 and 2012. Those who follow the Millerite Calendar determination agree with what my research has determined for the Gregorian Calendar dates of God's Sacred Calendar. The dates on the Jewish Calendar also agree!

A previous newsletter titled "Hypocrisy" excited a lot of interest. It was forwarded by several newsletter readers to their contacts who forwarded it on to others. There was one particularly interesting feed back.

Jxxx - the intermediary in this email dialogue - Please ask your friend a question regarding "The Sabbath School lesson this last quarter provoked many opportunities where commenting on the lesson would step into an understanding which goes outside of approved Adventist doctrine."

The question: Did "Rxxx" take time to read the book of Romans and prepare prior to the Sabbath School Lesson that he might gain and not disrupt those that did prepare and were looking for a blessing. Please ask him this and then I will wait for a reply and comment further. This is a yes/no question. Or could be answered: I read the chapter in Romans pertaining to the lesson 3 times during the quarter etc...

Thanks, Txxx

Hello Txxx,

I don't believe Rxxx wrote this email. Rxxx does not attend Structure SDA churches.. only SDA Reform churches. (which in my opinion are no better)

It was Frank that wrote this email

But honestly, we as Disciples of Messiah are not confined to the Sabbath School quarterly for our daily devotions. In fact, I do not believe for a moment that if EGW or James White were alive today that they would base their weekly Sabbath School study habits on the predetermined pattern given them by the Jesuit influenced SDA corporate structure.

I responded to all:

Dear Txxx,

I wrote the statement you question.

"The Sabbath School lesson this last quarter provoked many opportunities where commenting on the lesson would step into an understanding which goes outside of approved Adventist doctrine."

I have read the entire Bible, including the Book of Romans, all the way through several times, including every chapter of Romans at least once during the quarter, and the chapters discussed that week more than once in that week.

II Timothy 2:14-16
14 Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers.
15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.

I confess I did not study the Sabbath School "lesson". I did read it during class, sometimes with dismay. I did not "disrupt" those who were "prepared" in the class by attempting to point out the entirety of the Bible does not always exactly agree with the pre-packaged viewpoint presented in the lesson. I appreciate Peter's comment on Paul's writings.

II Peter 3:15-17
15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;
16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.

I made only occasional mild comments, praying the Holy Spirit would lead to a greater understanding as promised by our Saviour.

John 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

I do not know if the class members received a "blessing" by receiving the same skimmed milk which has been repeated over and over.

I Corinthians 3:2 I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.

Perhaps you would have considered me "disruptive" for attempting to add a little "meat" to the lesson.

Hebrews 5:12-14
12 For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.
13 For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.
14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

You appear to have some comment you wish to make to me?

Be at peace,

Frank T. Clark - When the Spirit of truth is come, he will guide you into all truth and he will show you things to come. John 16:13 (paraphrased)

Is your Bible study and understanding limited to the pre-digested, pre-packaged, and pre-approved "lessons" provided by the denomination?

I pray we may all continue to seek love, peace, and unity in truth preparing for the soon coming of IAUShUO (ee-ah-oo-shoo-oh) Messiah, the Son of God.
