I remember an ordained SDA Pastor say that there are those who don't have the truth but have the experience and we have the truth but lack the experience. Can one really have the Truth without experiencing Him, and vice versa?

There is no excuse for any one in taking the position that there is no more truth to be revealed, and that all our expositions of Scripture are without an error. The fact that certain doctrines have been held as truth for many years by our people, is not a proof that our ideas are infallible. Age will not make error into truth, and truth can afford to be fair. No true doctrine will lose anything by close investigation. RH 12/20/1892

I was in a SS class in So Cal and the teacher described sanctification as follows: "You gradually sin less often and less intensely. For example, whereas you used to get upset and hit your children, now you merely scream at them. In time you will be able to stop yelling and leave the room until you cool down."
What do you think? I agree. Ideally, we ought to turn away from every sin immediately, but history paints a different picture of our lives after baptism. We seem unable to be perfect. ... ...

Paul seemed to imply some people can experience the joy of Jesus without knowing Him. "When the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: which show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another". They might not know Jesus by name, but they certainly know His character and live in congruence with it.
By God's grace,
Arnold

We are now into Lesson 9, which seems to grow out of Lesson 8: http://www.ssnet.org/lessons/13c/less09.htmlThe title of Lesson 9 is "Reformation: The Outgrowth of Revival." Would you agree that reformation is the outgrowth, or the result of revival???
