It is interesting that many Americans give occasion to think they are of the opinion that it is impossible to be a true Christian - or a true Seventh-day Adventist - without having a reasonable knowledge of the English language.
One reason for this could be that because many have had the opinion that God Himself provided the wording of the King James Version of the Bible and that it is the only true Bible.
It has given occasion to developing a unique system of defining the words used in the process of salvation, such as repentance, justification, regeneration, sanctification. . .
Do we take such pride in our knowledge of definitions that it places Jesus in s Shadow?
That is also something God has shown me, if I may...
When I was led to the Sabbath by the Holy Spirit, I had read the word 'sanctify' and it seemed to have a completely different meaning when I heard the general opinion of what it was by others in the faith who were less convicted on Spiritual effectiveness.
I was shown that, when men do not want to let go of different sins in their life, it sways their comprehension of truth because of the searing of the conscience, and they end up being a shell of a Christian, barely by name sometimes.
But I have also seen God bring a man through that state of lukewarmness to become a warrior of truth. God can use the fall of men to keep them from falling in the future but this is not how He wants it to be. This is God's last resort stuff. It's not safe to make your nest above the abyss.
