| Apr 23, 2021 at 15:33 | comment | added | GratefulDisciple | @SpiritRealmInvestigator Your question came from the old mission perspective, the image of Billy Graham preaching in a stadium, which underplays the sanctification aspect of salvation. The book in my answer argues that embodiment of new humanity itself is the gospel, and that is why the church needs to be involved not only to preach the gospel but to becoming the gospel. And we all know it takes a lifetime to transform people. | |

| Apr 23, 2021 at 8:50 | comment | added | Adam | @ Nijel i find your comment interesting (Revelation 14.6 is metaphorical...it does not represent a real angel, this is the case with many of the angels in Revelation), worthy of thought just the same. I find that its really interesting that few denominations really understand the book of Revelation...one of the few who really do grasp its meanings is that of the SDA church. Part of the reason for the lack of understanding comes about as a result of refusal to accept that Jesus did not do away with the 10 commandments and the real meaning of the sanctuary service in the Old Testament. | |

| Apr 22, 2021 at 15:49 | comment | added | Nigel J | In my view, this is not a well researched or focused question. Just one example (of many) is that no attention has been paid to Revelation 14:6 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, God's chosen method is the most effective and the most efficient. (It is just that this question has not stated, correctly, what He is doing and why He is doing it.) | |
