WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSED TO BE SAVED FROM??
| About Sealed Discussions: WARNING! The rest of this page below contains information that is sealed off from the Truth of Adventism Defended Forum. This means that no discussion is to be brought against the points proven in most of the links below. Those with this designation will be clearly marked. Any subscriber who brings up the points which have been disproven in the following list of discussions will be likely regarded as an offender and can be unsubscribed. We had to do this for we discovered that we were dialoguing with unscrupulous members of the papal army. Even after conclusive points were presented to the point where they dared not answer them, they continued to present their redundant points and merely mocked our questions away or laughed at them. We therefore have to institute this principle so as not the waste the time of the people. The only way discussion upon
these points can be brought up again is if the argument(s) are wholly
unique in character. All challenges must be issued by applying
directly to the owner of the forum, Mr. Ted McMillan:

We keep seeing people quote scriptures to us telling us we are not saved by
the law to show us that we don't have to keep the law. This is deliberate
deception and we need to understand why even simple arguments linger and
persist. That is because of the strident efforts by the children of disobedience.
Much of the confusion is cleared up on Brother Ted's website:

Scroll down to the middle and bottom and you will see much confusion cleared up.
But right now the pressing question that comes to our attention is since we are
not saved by the law, what are we supposed to be saved from? We are supposed
to be saved from sin. Why? Because if we sin, we have to suffer WRATH:
Rom. 5:9
Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath
through him.
Saved from wrath? Whose wrath? The wrath of the Father. We therefore must be
saved from sin. What
then is sin?
1 John 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the
transgression of the law.
Sin is the transgression of the law or the breaking of the law. This is the clearest
mentioned definition, and rightly so, because with all the confusion there are
people trained to provide other definitions than these plain and clear words.
You are indicted by a moral law BECAUSE YOU HAVE SINNED. How then can you
escape THE PENALTY for breaking that law? You go to jail because you stole
something very valuable. How are you going to get out of jail? By keeping the
law? NO! Something outside of you has to come to your aid! You have no say. You
are a criminal!
The question then is how are we to be saved OUT OF JAIL. The
assumption is that we are already in trouble because of some circumstance. What is
that circumstance? We have broken the law. We can't then escape the judgment by
keeping the law.
Here is where Christ comes in. He bears the penalty in our place. That is the Gospel.
Say then we're in jail, and the warden or governor decides to pardon us. What then?
Do we go around telling the city that we don't have to keep the law anymore because
IT IS NOT KEEPING THE LAW THAT GETS US OUT OF JAIL or out of trouble for breaking
that law?
RIDICULOUS! But that is what so-called Christians are doing to God's business!
