Thank you all so much! The only SS Lesson Panel that actually focused the entire lesson on the topic: The THEME of this lesson. As such, I learned So Much! I also liked that it was brought out that John was strategic in his giving of Jesus’ signs, that they did not need His physical touch or presence. Mind you, the feeding of the 5,000 may be the one exception. These lessons were posted later than usual, I was concerned that the series had finished! I went to the website and discovered that these are also available as a podcast! That’s fabulous! So I listened there and then have come here to comment. Thank you for your ministry in this medium. I find it very informative. God bless you all.

Am learning a lot...a whole new perspective about God. Its like starting everything afresh. Thank you for your inspiring messages

What a powerful study! Thank you so much, Pine Knoll. I'm learning a lot from you all! May God continue to give you wisdom and understanding to impart to others. God bless each of you 🙏 💖 🙏

Amen 🙏. These are very touching sermons

I love this ministry!!

This is such an amazing, packed lesson! As you say, a shame that the other stories could not be fully addressed - John the Baptist especially, but also Jesus’ rejection at home… Notwithstanding those, these lessons are DEEP! Just 1 would have been meat enough for a week’s lesson! Thank you all for your contributions, there were some amazing insights, things I hadn’t even considered! I will be back, midweek, to revisit this lesson with you. God bless you all.

Good discussion What version of the bible is used to read the texts?

Deuteronomy 23:24-25 allows for people to take food from someone else’s field - the Pharisees were nitpicking on this because of the Sabbath. Jesus was making the point of compassion before custom and relief before ritual. Their rules were not biblical.

Thank you for explaining/defining the word and duty of Prophet and to prophesy. 1. To encourage 2. To exhort (warn) 3. To build up Thank you.

Powerful! Praise God!🙏

I kept wondering about the loss of the Ark. If that went missing with Zachariah, what was in the Most Holy Place in the renewed temple in Jerusalem? Was there anything in there at all? Was Jesus the only representation of the love of God when He was there?

I get so much from this lesson study! Thank you all for taking the time to discuss these . If ever you feel the need to discuss for an hour and a half or 2 hours, feel free to do so. It’s over waaay too soon! 😊

Could not the Two Witnesses be 1. The Scriptures and 2. The Church. Both are needed to bear witness. Is not our Commission to bear witness of Jesus Christ? In both Mathew and Revelation (actually in all 4 Gospels, Jesus tells us that we (the church) will be a witness to Him because of the persecution we will endure for His sake. We don’t need to separate the scriptures into Old and New, we all know that it’s one authority. It is one witness. That leaves another Witness to draw attention to the first one (as Jesus did when He was speaking in John to the Jews). Or to explain the scriptures to an enquiring mind - (Phillip and the Ethiopian) - Two Witnesses!

Thank you again for this great study❤🙏

Thank you, I really got a lot from this study discussion. 1. Graham Maxwells’s concise clarification of Justification and Sanctification. 2. The quotes from Evangelism pges 574 & 575 I will return to this discussion again on Sabbath evening.

This study, already is so deep! I’ve been participating in a nightly SS Lesson study and we have had so many discussions tonight (Monday) about whether the casting out was physical (as is implied in paragraph 3) or situational (being ignored, excluded, rebuffed) until they didn’t feel welcomed anymore. This was then questioned, because Satan went to God’s Council meeting to discuss what was happening on earth and his subsequent attacks on Job… We searched out, in EGW Writings website and found “Bible Handbook”, that stated Satan could still appear in the counsels of The Lord, at the gates of heaven. Page 105.1… so then, does that mean that there was a barrier of sorts keeping him out, or just the Word of God. Jesus? We didn’t resolve it, because even the Word from Jesus is (can be) physical.

I like the sharing at the end of this session. What a beautiful way to end the quarter! ❤🙏

Thanks Vhenus for listening and commenting. We'll let Jon and Daniel know too.

I appreciate Daniel and John so much for doing such a wonderful job being moderators in each lesson study. God has blessed them with so much wisdom to explain complicated topics and thought-provoking questions. I appreciate your answer @ 32:38, Daniel. Praise God!

To support my comment below that "Only Jesus Christ has successfully met both of these expectations that God's all righteousness demands." I Peter 2:22 "Who committed no sin, nor was any deceit found in His mouth." NASB. This Bible verse verifies/confirms that Jesus Christ was and is infallible. He never committed one sin in His entire life (thoughts, words and actions) and never made one mistake during His lifetime and only He is eternally/everlastingly infallible, along with God The Father and God The Holy Spirit. God's Word, The Bible addresses Jesus Christ as "That Holy Thing." Luke 1:35 "And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also That Holy Thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God." KJV.

Psalm 145:17 "The LORD is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works." Without a blood atoning sacrifice for sin, God's all righteousness demands both: (1) A sinless nature Psalm 51: 5, 6 " Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me. Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts:..." KJV and (2) Sinless behavior (thoughts, words and actions) with not one mistake for a lifetime. Only Jesus Christ has successfully met both of these expectations that God's all righteousness demands. Romans 3:23 "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." KJV After Adam and Eve sinned , Genesis 3:15, God promised the Messiah, who had to be fully God and fully human being. The only perfect sacrifice was Jesus Christ. After Adam and Eve sinned, God sent Christ The Messiah to pay for the sins of Adam and Eve and all of their descendants. The reason why The Son of God had to become a human being, fully human, is because God's law requires that in Hebrews 9:22 "...and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness." NASB. Here we see in the plan of salvation, all of the three persons of the One God of The Bible are at work. God The Father sends His Son in Genesis 3:15. The Son of God died on the cross, buried three days and three nights in the grave and resurrected on the third day. God The Father and God The Holy Spirit raised to life Jesus Christ on the third day. The Holy Spirit playing the instrumental role in the conception and birth of Jesus Christ. God The Father placed on Jesus Christ all of the sins of all humanity, for all time, on Jesus Christ at the cross. Isaiah 53:6 "But the LORD has caused the iniquity of us all to fall on Him." Jesus Christ paid the sin debt in full of every human being for all time. John the Baptist proclaimed when he saw Jesus Christ, "...Behold, The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!" John 1:29 NASB. "...but now once at the consummation of the ages He has been manifested to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself." Hebrews 9:26 NASB I Peter 2:24 "and He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross..." NASB We see the beauty of God The Father, Jesus Christ who is The Son of God and The Son of Man and God The Holy Spirit working together in unison in the plan of salvation! Because of the foregoing facts, only Jesus Christ is the most perfect substitute for all of the sins of the human race.

Loved the study. Thank you

I remember listening to all of these programs on cassette tape in 1985. I think it was sherry kirk who sent them to me then.

Thank you for this study. I have learned so much.

Wow! What a powerful study! Thank you for sharing your wisdom in unpacking some of the most challenging texts in the bible and explaining them in a very clear manner! Praise God! 🙏

Beautiful study with an assurance of God’s 💕 love

I am amazed that there has only been 838 views and not 1000s of views. i will share these links with my friends and family.

Regarding the miracles in the early church, in this stage of the world's history, miracles are suspect because Satan is counterfeiting healings, etc. He will present as an angel of light and even as Jesus himself. Genuine miracles are not normally advertised. They are just accepted thankfully.

More people need to watch these videos. Its such good information.

This is gold. Is such a pity people don't know it yet. God bless Pine Knoll's ministry. It helped me and is helping a lot!

I love the thought-provoking exposition of the scriptures in this new quarterly.. I would regularly follow your sabbath school discussion every sabbath. Thank you Praise God. Keep up the good work.. God bless you all!

This so heart warming

I am learning a lot from the deep, thoughtful explanation of the verses. Thank you, Pine Knoll team! God bless 🙏

Beautifully discussed and explained! It's noticeably watered by the Holy Spirit. Thank you, Pine Knoll team! God bless you all! 🙏 ❤

These messages are a total mind shift thanks for bringing this aspect to us. Now it's time for me to dive into it and have my own study.

I have just ‘discovered’ this platform. It is so enlightening, thank you. I have the same thoughts as the African gentleman, who is resident in the UK (& then also the lady who followed his observation). It’s a very Real Problem in Europe: HOW do we share Jesus wi people who don’t feel a need for Him? HOW do we mingle with people that we have little or nothing in common with? HOW do we teach them to observe all things? HOW can they know we are Christians by our love? Ultimately; HOW do we Mingle? This Quarter’s SS Lesson is really intriguing to and challenging for me.

"Wherever you are, you are needed." Amen! I like that! 🙏

Question: did the mariners not know about the rout of Sennacherib and the loss of his entire army at the hand of God in defence of His name and of Jerusalem? That would have given them cause to fear the God of the Hebrews.

I appreciate these discussions very much. My take in intercessory prayer is this: God uses no coercion and is thus constrained in the war with Satan. However, when we intercede in prayer, it gives Him permission to override current circumstances. In the final analysis, it is still the choice of the person we are praying for whether they follow the promptings of the Holy Spirit or not.

I can't help it but, Dr. Paulien's voice reminds me of late actor George Kennedy's. I have to try harder not to get distracted during the lesson.

Can you imagine this great disciple of Christ did these presentations in 1984 and we are still here? I joined the SDA church in 1984 and just recently discovered Graham Maxwell and now Tim Jennings. Are we entering the time of trouble now?

True blessed by this series. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful.. the love of God is uniquely expressed in this series.

Wow! I heard Grahams name mentioned in Tim Jennings sabbath classes from a listener. This is phenomenal. Why isn’t God and Jesus expressed this way in Christianity?

So beautiful.

There is no problem with Jesus saying He is the only way of salvation. If Jesus had not defeated Satan and conquered death and the grave, nobody could have access to eternal life. The Bible does not exclude those who did not know about Jesus and His sacrifice. Paul explains this for us.

In the eyes of God, human being is very precious

great study

John 16:12-14 “I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. 13Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. 14He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.” Gives credibility to the use of John 15:15 as well as expands understanding of the pre-curse relationship between man and woman and relationships in the earth made new. Paul was using the norms of the culture at that time as an analogy to speak (ie. A segue) to the great mystery found in Eph 5:32 concerning Christ and the church.

Thank you pastor
