Here's a more detailed rebuttal from Ron Beaulieu regarding Eugene Shubert:
http://omega77.tripod.com/biorwb.htmThere is much that I choose to let “go by the board” concerning my detractors, but some things have to be met. The misrepresentation you have just read at the link that referred you here, is just patently false. Here is what is misrepresented concerning me at the following link:
http://www.topix.com/forum/religion/sev ... R1A5IGLVDFI will intersperse my response to Mr. Eugene Schubert (schubee) below his comments constituting the following diatribe:
“Ron Beaulieu claims to be a prophet called by the Lord to devote all his time to the advancement of the Three Angel’s Messages but he is obviously mistaken. There isn’t the slightest bit of evidence that he understands the meaning of Revelation 14:6-12.
Ron responds: Ellen White stated that the three angel’s messages covers a broad spectrum of data that even most SDA ministers do not comprehend. In her statement below, Ellen White refers to the National Reform Movement. That was the predecessor to the ecumenical movement of today. Here is what she says about that movement:
“The peculiar work of the third angel has not been seen in its importance. God meant that His people should be far in advance of the position which they occupy today. But now, when the time has come for them to spring into action, they have the preparation to make. When the National Reformers [the title of the ecumenical movement before it became the Federal Council of Churches in 1908, and then the World Council of Churches, in 1948] began to urge measures to restrict religious liberty, our leading men should have been alive to the situation and should have labored earnestly to counteract these efforts. It is not in the order of God that light has been kept from our people—the very present truth which they needed for this time. Not all our ministers who are giving the third angel’s message really understand what constitutes that message. The National Reform [Ecumenical] movement has been regarded by some as of so little importance that they have not thought it necessary to give much attention to it and have even felt that in so doing they would be giving time to questions distinct from the third angel’s message [the Everlasting Gospel of Revelation 14]. May the Lord forgive our brethren for thus interpreting the very message for this time.” E.G. White, Testimonies, Vol. 5, 714, 715.
It should be obvious to anyone who truly understands the three angel’s messages, that they warn us to come out of Babylon and that we must stay out. The ecumenical movement would include all Christians of the world in one New World Order church, one New World Order day of worship (Sunday), one New world Order banking system, and one New World order government per the feet and toes kingdom described in Daniel 2. So in giving much time to the SDA church’s involvement with the ecumenical movement, I have been dealing directly with the three angel’s messages in a way that Mr. Schubert does not understand. He may well lose out on salvation because of lack of knowledge, because Ellen White says in Word to the Little Flock, p. 14, that all who stray from the Midnight Cry, of 1844, after hearing and understanding it, will fall off the pathway to heaven and that it will be IMPOSSIBLE to get back on it. So this is a very serious issue. Ellen White said that the Midnight Cry gave power to the second angel’s message in 1844, and that it will be repeated as part of the final Loud Cry message.
So it seems to be Mr. Schubert who does not understand the three angel’s messages and the Midnight Cry obligation, especially as they are implicated with Isaiah 8:9-12 and Matthew 25:1-5, along with the express duty to repudiate serious errors of apostasy that have crept into the church:
“The enemy of souls has sought to bring in the supposition that a great reformation was to take place among Seventh-day Adventists, and that this reformation would consist in giving up the doctrines which stand as the pillars of our faith, and engaging in a process of reorganization. Were this reformation to take place, what would result? The principles of truth that God in His wisdom has given to the remnant church, would be discarded. Our religion would be changed. The fundamental principles that have sustained the work for the last fifty years would be accounted as error. A NEW ORGANIZATION would be established. Books of a NEW ORDER would be written. A system of intellectual philosophy would be introduced. The founders of this system would go into the cities, and do a wonderful work. The Sabbath of course, would be lightly regarded, as also the God who created it. Nothing would be allowed to stand in the way of the NEW MOVEMENT. The leaders would teach that virtue is better than vice, but GOD BEING REMOVED, they would place their dependence on human power, which, without God, is worthless. Their foundation would be built on the sand, and storm and tempest would sweep away the structure.
Who has authority to begin such a [NEW] movement? We have our Bibles, we have our experience, attested to by the miraculous working of the Holy Spirit. We have a truth that admits of no compromise. Shall we not repudiate everything that is not in harmony with this truth? E.G. White, Selected Messages, Vol. 1, 204, 205.
“Sadly, Mr. Beaulieu thinks that his compilations of the writings of Ellen G. White and his understanding of them somehow qualifies him as some sort of special messenger and interpreter.
http://omega77.tripod.com/biorwb.htm Schubert: I don't think that Ellen White's writings need interpretation. I think that Sister White's message is plain and readily transparent....”
Ron’s response: Mr. Schubert has misinterpreted a few Ellen White statements to make it appear that all we should be involved with is a peace and safety affirmative message. I deal with far more than just a few such statements by Ellen G. White. I relate her statements JUST AS THEY READ to Biblical statements JUST AS THEY READ. Ellen White accused the leaders of misrepresenting her statements out of context and I employ the following formula scrupulously to establish her statements that have been misrepresented back into the proper context:
1. Weight of Evidence Formula: "1. Every word must have its proper bearing on the subject presented in the Bible 2. All Scripture is necessary, and may be understood by diligent application and study 3. Nothing revealed in Scripture can or will be hid from those who ask in faith, not wavering 4. To understand doctrine, bring all the scriptures together on the subject you wish to know, then let every word have its proper influence and if you can form your theory without a contradiction, you cannot be in error 5. Scripture must be its own expositor, [interpreter] since it is a rule of itself. If I depend on a teacher to expound to me, and he should guess at its meaning, or desire to have it so on account of his sectarian creed, or to be thought wise, then his guessing, desire, creed, or wisdom is my rule, and not the Bible." E.G. White, Second Advent Review and Herald, 11-25-34, pr. 24.
I also relate visions of important insight that God has given to me to relate to His people.
Schubert: “Another great mistake that Ron Beaulieu has fallen into is that he spends too much time creating or exaggerating minor errors to rail against.
http://omega77.tripod.com/indepth.htmIt is for this reason that Sister White said that we should dwell on affirmative truths.
Ron responds: I believe that any thinking person who makes an honest study of the issues I deal in will conclude that they are not minor exaggerations of mere “minor errors, that I have “created.” Here is a study of the all important issues I deal in:
http://omega77.tripod.com/indepth.htmThe following statements by Ellen White, as quoted by Mr. Schubert, totally ignore any sighing and crying for all the abominations upon which our being sealed by the Man in Linen (Ezekiel 9) is predicated and CONDITIONAL TO:
“Who are standing in the counsel of God at this time? Is it those who virtually excuse wrongs among the professed people of God, and murmur in their hearts, if not openly, against those who would reprove sin? It is those who take their stand against them, and sympathize with those who commit wrong?--No, indeed! These, unless they repent, and leave the work of Satan in oppressing those who have the burden of the work, and in holding up the hands of sinners in Zion, will never receive the mark of God's sealing approval. They will fall in the general destruction of all the wicked, represented by the five men bearing slaughter weapons. Mark this point with care; those who receive the pure mark of truth, wrought in them by the power of the Holy Ghost, represented by the man in linen, are those "that sigh and cry for all the abominations that are done" in the church. Their love for purity and the honor and glory of God is such, and they have so clear a view of the exceeding sinfulness of sin, that they are represented as being in an agony, even sighing and crying.” E.G. White, {Review and Herald Articles, June 8, 1886 par. 2}
Apparently, Mr. Schubert uses only a few Ellen White statements to excuse his total lack in sighing and crying for all the abominations in the church, and the unpopular duty of fulfilling Isaiah 58:1. There are a lot of Adventists who choose to take the same position Mr. Schubert takes and for the same reason. Indifference to strictly forbidden apostasy, is far different than mere questions that arise:
"If God abhors one sin above another, of which His people are guilty, it is doing nothing in case of an emergency. Indifference and neutrality in a religious crisis is regarded of God as a grevious crime and equal to the very worst type of hostility against God." Testimonies, Vol.3, p.281.
It should be totally apparent to the discerning reader that Mr. Eugene Schubert does not possess the spiritual discernment to distinguish between gross apostasies that constitute an emergency and the omega of apostasy by the SDA church, so he chooses indifference and neutrality in a religious crisis of the greatest magnitude. His indifference is the very worst type of hostility against God, and those whom God is using to expose the emergency of omega apostasy. Here are the Ellen White statements he and they hide behind.
"Dwell not on the negative points of questions that arise, but gather to your minds affirmative truths, and fasten them there by much study and earnest prayer and heart consecration. Keep your lamps trimmed and burning; and let bright rays shine forth, that men, beholding your good works, may be led to glorify your Father which is in heaven."
Ron responds: My Website is full of affirmative truths, but are all the abominations of apostasy negative points we to deal with them? Let’s let Ellen White answer:
“Mark this point with care: Those who receive the pure mark of truth, wrought in them by the power of the Holy Ghost, represented by a mark by the man in linen, are those "that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done" in the church.” {Mar 240.1}
“Reproofs always hurt human nature. Many are the souls that have been destroyed by the unwise sympathy of their brethren; for, because the brethren sympathized with them, they thought they must indeed have been abused, and that the reprover was all wrong and had a bad spirit. The only hope for sinners in Zion is to fully see and confess their wrongs, and put them away. Those who step in to destroy the edge of sharp reproof that God sends, saying that the reprover was partly wrong and the reproved was not just right, please the enemy. Any way that Satan can devise to make the reproofs of none effect will accomplish his design. Some will lay blame upon the one whom God has sent with a message of warning, saying, He is too severe; and in so doing they become responsible for the soul of the sinner whom God desired to save, and to whom, because He loved him, He sent correction, that he might humble his soul before God and put his sins from him. These false sympathizers will have an account to settle with the Master by-and-by for their work of death.”{3T 329.1}
Schubert quotes:
"Often, as you seek to present the truth, opposition will be aroused; but if you seek to meet the opposition with argument, you will only multiply it, and this you cannot afford to do. Hold to the affirmative. Angels of God are watching you, and they understand how to impress those whose opposition you refuse to meet with arguments. Dwell not on the negative points of questions that arise, but gather to your minds affirmative truths, and fasten them there by much study, earnest prayer, and heart consecration. Keep your lamps trimmed and burning, and let bright rays shine forth, that men, beholding your good works, may be led to glorify your Father who is in heaven."
"If Christ had not held to the affirmative in the wilderness of temptation, He would have lost all that He desired to gain. Christ's way is the best way to meet our opponents. We strengthen their arguments when we repeat what they say. Keep always to the affirmative. It may be that the very man who is opposing you will carry your words home, and be converted to the sensible truth that has reached his understanding."
"Do not cherish a spirit of controversy. Little good is accomplished by denunciatory speeches. The surest way to destroy false doctrine is to preach the truth. Keep to the affirmative. Let the precious truths of the gospel kill the force of evil. Show a tender, pitiful spirit toward the erring. Come close to hearts."
Eugene Schubert
Ron responds to the above three statements quoted by Schubert:
Gross apostasy in the church calls for a response and only those who warn the people of such apostasy will be sealed according to Ezekiel 9. Ellen White says that the entire chapter of Isaiah 58:1 is our work.
