• What is the best vacation you have ever had, and what do you remember most about it?
  1. Donna, September 25, 2000
     When I went camping, in a state park. The quietness and the surrounding beauty.
  2. Roger, March 4, 2001
     WENT TO B.C. AND SOME FRESH CHERRIES
  3. Sherril, August 11, 2001
     A trip to Yosemite when I was 12.  Going on a horseback ride and feeding deer and chipmunks on the porch of a cabin where we stayed.
• If you could set up a day as a national holiday, whom would you choose to honor? Why?
  1. Donna, September 25, 2000
     Jesus, so more people would honor Him.
  2. Roger, March 4, 2001
     JESUS FOR HE IS THE CREATOR AND SAVIOUR OF THE WORLD
  3. Sherril, August 11, 2001
     Ellen White, because she was the instrument that God chose to reveal new truths and she brought such insight to the medical and educational systems that our country should honor her.  She was a beautiful example of the original beliefs that this country and constitution was based on.  In God We Trust.  We should celebrate Jesus every day and Ellen White spoke the truth of Jesus.
• When and how can you be initially sealed as a Christian?
  1. Donna, September 25, 2000
     We have the Holy Spirit in our hearts.
  2. Roger, March 4, 2001
     HAD HIS SPIRIT IN OUR HEARTS SEALED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT OF PROMISE
  3. Sherril, August 11, 2001
     When you accept Christ, repent of sin and are baptized, we then recieve the Holy Spirit which I believe is a seal.
• Why do you think the sealing of the Holy Spirit in your life is connected to both justification by faith and the good works of obedience?
  1. Donna, September 25, 2000
     It's by works of righteousness.
  2. Roger, March 4, 2001
     WE ARE GIVEN THE HOLY SPIRIT BY OBEYING HIS HIS WORD
  3. Sherril, August 11, 2001
     Because the bible says He will send the Holy Spirit to those who have faith and obey.
• If someone says they love you, what is the greatest sign of that love to you -- words, actions, or both? Why?
  1. Donna, September 25, 2000
     The words can come from the heart, the actions show love.
  2. Roger, March 4, 2001
     A SIGN OF LOVE IS THAT THEY WILL BE HELPFUL TO YOU IN SOME WAY
  3. Sherril, August 11, 2001
     Both.  We need to hear and see because one is backed up by the other.
• Whose is the future seal, and what indication is there that it is given very close to the final conflict on earth?
  1. Donna, September 25, 2000
     The servents of God, God said hurt not the earth, the sea, nor the trees.
  2. Roger, March 4, 2001
     THEY WILL HAVE THE SEAL OF GOD IN THEIR FOREHEAD
  3. Sherril, August 11, 2001
     Those that obey the commandments and have faith in Jesus recieve the future seal and God is holding back the wrath is the indicator that is at the time of the end.
• Because a seal was a signature of ownership, what is it called in the setting of Revelation 14:1?
  1. Donna, September 25, 2000
     The Father's name.
  2. Roger, March 4, 2001
     HAVING HIS FATHER'S NAME WRITTERN ON THEIR FOREHEADS
  3. Sherril, August 11, 2001
     Those who have the name of the Lamb and His Father written on their foreheads.
• Can you give any Bible illustrations of names representing character?
  1. Donna, September 25, 2000

  3. Sherril, August 11, 2001
     Jesus

  1. Donna, September 25, 2000
     The President, he had an extra-marital affair while in office.
  2. Roger, March 4, 2001

• What 'name' could characterize those who follow the beast?
  1. Donna, September 25, 2000
     The Devil's angels.
  2. Roger, March 4, 2001
     THE NAME OF THE BEAST OR THE NUMBER OF HIS NAME
  3. Sherril, August 11, 2001
     The unsaved, the lost, the fallen.....
• Check the seal of an official of your country, state, or city. It always contains three essential parts: the name, title and territory. If one of these three is missing, the seal is invalid. Why is this?
  1. Donna, September 25, 2000
     The seal of God. There is a seperation of church and government.
  2. Roger, March 4, 2001
     I DON'T KNOW
  3. Sherril, August 11, 2001
     I don't know.
• How important and binding was a king's name on a law or document in Bible times?
  1. Donna, September 25, 2000
     It cannot be reversed.
  2. Roger, March 4, 2001
     WITH THE KING'S SEAL NO ONE CAN REVOKE
  3. Sherril, August 11, 2001
     If it had his name and was sealed by the signet of his ring, it was not revokable.
• Check the Ten Commandments and find the only one which contains the essential parts of a seal, thus validating the law.
  1. Donna, September 25, 2000
     The seal of God.
  2. Roger, March 4, 2001
     REMEMBER THE SABBATH TO KEEP IT HOLY
  3. Sherril, August 11, 2001
     The Sabbath of the Lord.
• What official terminology does God use regarding His law and the fourth worship commandment?
  1. Donna, September 25, 2000
     It is a sign between God and His people.
  2. Roger, March 4, 2001
     SEAL THE LAW AMONG MY DISCIPLES
  3. Sherril, August 11, 2001
     His laws are sealed and can't be revoked and the Sabbath is a sign.
• What clue do you get in Daniel 7:25 that Satan would particularly attack the fourth worship commandment which deals with time -- the memorial of creation?
  1. Donna, September 25, 2000
     Satan wanted to change the times and laws.
  2. Roger, March 4, 2001
     THE SAINTS SHALL BE GIVEN INTO HIS HAND
  3. Sherril, August 11, 2001
     He will attempt to change laws and times.
• How does the Bible emphasize that no change is possible after the will has been made valid by the death of the one who made the will?
  1. Donna, September 25, 2000
     It was confirmed.
  2. Roger, March 4, 2001
     FOR A TESTAMENT IS IN FORCE AFTER MEN ARE DEAD
  3. Sherril, August 11, 2001
     It says so,.
• How would you feel about people trying to change your will after your death? Why?
  1. Donna, September 25, 2000
     You can't feel after death, but I would be upset. They broke the confirmation.
  2. Roger, March 4, 2001
     I WOULD BE UNHAPPY IF I KNEW ABOUT IT
  3. Sherril, August 11, 2001
     Not good for it is MY will, not theirs.
• If Jesus had decided to change His commandments or the memorial of creation, why would He have had to do it before His death just as He instituted two new Christian ceremonies -- the Lord's supper and baptism -- before the events they were to commemorate?
  1. Donna, September 25, 2000
     It wouldn't be valid today.
  2. Roger, March 4, 2001
     FOR THE COMMANDMENTS CAN NOT BE CHANGE AFTER HIS DEATH
  3. Sherril, August 11, 2001
     Because his ministry on earth was finished at the cross.
• How do you expect God to treat people who lived according to the light they had?
  1. Donna, September 25, 2000
     He would seperate them from those who changed the laws.
  2. Roger, March 4, 2001
     THEY WILL BE JUDGE ACCORDING TO THEIR DEEDS
  3. Sherril, August 11, 2001
     Fairly, if a person did what they thought to be correct as long as they bothered to look into the resources available to them.  He won't hold accountable those who were not given access to the truth.
• Why will the only safety then and now be to 'keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus?'
  1. Donna, September 25, 2000
     To show our love for him.
  2. Roger, March 4, 2001
     FOR WE WILL BE SAFE IN JESUS
  3. Sherril, August 11, 2001
     Because we should never break Gods commandments knowingly.
• Have you ever made a mistake and found yourself surrounded by judgmental, critical people on one hand and loving, accepting people on the other? How did you relate to these two types of individuals? Why?
  1. Donna, September 25, 2000
     I would love both, because the Bible says to love our enemies.
  2. Roger, March 4, 2001
     YES LOT OF TIMES
  3. Sherril, August 11, 2001
     Hurt by the critical and loved by the others.  You tend to listen better to the loving people.
• List some loving ways you could be used by the Holy Spirit to help a friend learn about the initial and final seal of God.
  1. Donna, September 25, 2000
     By teaching them what Bible has to say about the seal of God.
  2. Roger, March 4, 2001
     TEACH A CLASS, LEAD SOMEONE TO CHRIST JESUS
  3. Sherril, August 11, 2001
     By keeping the commandments and not being judgemental of others, but rather be sharing of the truth and understanding of where that person is at.
• In what ways should you get a greater blessing from God's true day or rest than from a substitute?
  1. Donna, September 25, 2000
     We have the knowledge of entering into heaven.
  2. Roger, March 4, 2001
     WE WILL BE REFRESH FROM THE WEEK OF WORK AND BE REFRESH FOR THE WEEK AHEAD
  3. Sherril, August 11, 2001
     You have peace of mind in obeying God.  That is comforting in its own right and then add the blessings of God that He bestows to those who do obey.
• How could an unsaved or legalistic Sabbath keeper miss the blessing of true worship?
  1. Donna, September 25, 2000
     He is not keeping God's sabbath.
  2. Roger, March 4, 2001
     HE IS THERE BECAUSE OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS AND BY HIS OWN FREE WILL
  3. Sherril, August 11, 2001
     If he is waiting for earthly blessings, he will miss the rest and peace by being disapointed
• In what ways have you felt the Holy Spirit leading in your life recently?
  1. Donna, September 25, 2000
     In obedience to God's sabbath keeping.
