UPDATE ON THE FORTHCOMING BOOK
POPULAR
BELIEFS: ARE THEY BIBLICAL?
The fifth chapter of Popular Beliefs:
Are they Biblical?
is almost completed. It is entitled "Purgatory." I was hoping to
post it today before leaving for England, but I still need 60 to 70 hours
of undisturbed peace to finish this 30-35 pages chapter. My plan is to email this chapter from London early next week
in the next newsletter. I look
forward to another peaceful research retreat in the home of Gary and Araxi
Keshishian, where I have stayed about 20 times. If your travel plans call
for a visit or a stop in London, feel free to contact Gary and Araxi. They
will offer you an enjoyable Bed & Breakfast at a reasonable price. Their
email is gary@advent.plus.com.
I view this
chapter on "Purgatory," as most important, because the doctrine of
purgatory offers the clearest understanding of the Catholic system of salvation
as a dispensation of
her church. In many ways, purgatory shows how the Catholic Church administers
salvation, by claiming the authority to shorten or even to release altogether
souls from the fiery punishment and purification of purgatory. I look forward to finish and share with
you this chapter.
Several
subscribers told me that the last chapter on "Hell as Eternal
Torment," was for them the best I have written so far. Well, I have
reasons to believe that the new chapter on "Purgatory" to be
completed this week, may prove to be even better.
I truly enjoy
working on this manuscript for two major reasons. First, because I believe that
this book is urgently needed to help sincere truth seekers to understand why
some of the popular beliefs are unbiblical and why are Adventist beliefs are
biblically correct. The second reason I am excited about this project is
because I have received many messages of encouragements. In fact, as I already told, some fellow
believers have promised to finance the printing of this book in order to make
it available simply for the cost of mailing.
This means that
if sufficient funds are received to cover the editing and printing costs of Popular
Beliefs: Are They Biblical?, the book will be offered
for only the cost of shipping and handling, that is, about $2.00 to 3.00
a copy, instead of the regular price of $25.00 for a book of this size. If the
funds received cover only part of the printing costs, then the price will be
adjusted accordingly.
If
you feel impressed to contribute to this project, feel free to contact me. I will tell you where to send your
contribution, so that you can receive a tax deductible receipt.
TWO
NEW CD AND DVD ALBUMS WITH SACRED SONGS
BY
AN OUTSTANDING ADVENTIST LYRIC SOPRANO
Coming from Italy, the land of great
tenors and sopranos, my wife and I enjoy immensely listening to outstanding
singers. How often have I wished that the Lord had given me a powerful tenor
voice to enhance my presentations of our timely Adventist message!
Our Adventist
Church has been blessed with many good singers, but only very few outstanding
tenors and sopranos. Over the years I have been dreaming and praying that the
Lord would help me find an outstanding singer interested to enhance my weekend
seminars with sacred songs.
My dream came
true on Saturday, October 6, 2007, when I listened spellbound to Cristina
Piccardi singing with her incredibly powerful soprano voice three times during
the worship service of Andrews University Pioneer Memorial Church (PMC). In
recent months Cristina has been invited 9 times to sing during the Sabbath
worship services of PMC. Dr. Kenneth
Logan, PMC organist, told me that
he has scheduled Cristina to sing at PMC more than any other singer, because of
her exceptional lyric soprano voice. Unfortunately, I have not been priviledged
to enjoy her singing on previous Sabbaths, because I am away almost every
weekend preaching across North America and overseas.
When I met
Cristina a week ago after the divine service, we both immediately felt that the
Lord was bringing us together in a providential way. She told me that she had
turned down invitations to sing in a leading role with well-known symphonic
orchestras, because she has decided to dedicate the gift of her voice to sing
the love of God. But so far the opportunities for her singing ministry have
been limited to a few local churches.
I
commended her for her decision and reassured her that I was ready to help her
in two ways: First, by releasing immediately a DVD album containing the dozen
of sacred songs she has already sang at PMC and by sponsoring some new
recordings. Second, by offering her the opportunity to sing during my weekend
seminars.
Cristina
responded enthusiastically to the proposal, and in an emotional tone she
confessed that she had began questioning her decision to give up an
opera-singer career, because it seemed that the demand for her singing ministry
was limited mostly to the local churches, where she sings mostly on Sabbath
morning, when it is inappropriate to offer her DVD album. This means that she
took a minimum wage job as a receptionist to be able to support herself and her
husband who is studying at the Seminary.
I reassured
Cristina that soon things will change. In fact even this past Sabbath (October
13, 2007) at the Sunnyside SDA Church in Washington, I played on a large screen
before my sermon her video recording of the song The Holy City. The congregation was ecstatic and asked
me to play it again before my afternoon final lecture. After the close of the
Sabbath many were eager to purchase both her CD and DVD albums. My plan is to
invite her to sing live when I speak in large congregations that can afford to
pay for her airfare, and to use her video recordings when I speak in smaller
congregations.
Who
is Cristina Piccardi?
In my view Cristina is the best Adventist
lyric soprano I have ever heard in my life. Surprising she is a slim, only 120
pounds, 5.6 feet—not the typical heavy-set soprano. My wife asked her:
How can you sing with such a powerful voice when you are so slim? She replied: "It is God's
gift."
Cristina was born
in South Brazil 25 years ago, but has a distinctive Italian name and cultural
heritage. She speaks fluently Italian because she spent the summers of 2003,
2004, and 2005 in Italy,
participating in a special program for operatic singers. The program
gave her the opportunity to be
coached by leading international tenors and sopranos. This training contributed
enormously to improve the quality of her vocal performances.
Already as a
teenager she loved to sing about the love of God in churches, schools, and
public events. At the age of 18 she won the Young Artists Competition for the
Porto Alegre Symphony Orchestra in Brazil, singing for the first time with a
Symphonic Orchestra that invited her again the following year to sing in a
sacred music concert.
In 2003 Cristina
completed her Batchelor of Music in Voice Performance at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil. Desirous to perfect her singing skills,
she came to the USA to enroll for a
Master of Music in Voice Performance at Duquesne University in
Pittsburgh, PA, where she received full scholarship during the two years of her
studies, graduating in December of 2005.
In the same year
she performed with symphonic orchestras in the USA and overseas. At the Annual
Opera Festival in Polovdiv, Bulgaria, she won the first prize in the Puldin
2005 International Competition for Opera Singers.
After spending 5
years singing leading soprano roles with various orchestras in the USA and
overseas, Cristina felt Gods call to devote her life to sing sacred music. Her
beautiful lyric soprano voice expresses her passion for the Lord and touches
the hearts of people everywhere.
Cristina has
worked as a choir director both in Brazil and in the United States and has
taught voice at Andrews University in Michigan.
At this time I
consider it a real honor and privilege to offer you two newly released audio
and video albums of Cristina's singing at Andrews University. These albums that
will thrill and inspire you. Here is a brief description of the two albums:
THE
FIRST ALBUM is an AUDIO CD recording entitled REJOICE IN THE LORD. It contains 11 audio Gospel songs like How Great Thou Art,
He Shall Feed His Flock, Softly and Tenderly, The Holy City, etcs. This is an
audio recording that you can play in your car CD player, or on any CD players
you have in your home.
THE
SECOND ALBUM is a VIDEO DVD recording entitled SING UNTO THE LORD. It contains 12
sacred familiar songs that were recorded live during the recent Sabbath
worship services of Andrews University Pioneer Memorial Church, in Michigan.
This is a video recording that you can enjoy in your living room or church.
Special
Introductory Offer for the Two CD and DVD albums:
The regular price
of the two albums is $50.00 for the AUDIO CD ALBUM and $100.00 for the VIDEO
DVD ALBUM. But we are pleased to offer you at this time THE TWO ALBUMS AT

Bacchiocchi, Ph. D.,
Retired
Professor of Theology and Church History
This short
newsletter is excerpted from the book Altar Call by Roy E. Gane, Ph. D. I view Prof. Roy
Gane as the Adventist authority on the sanctuary in the same way as I regard
Prof. Jon Paulien as the Adventist authority on the book of Revelation. During
the Christmas school brake, we plan for a special video recording of Prof.
Gane's popular lectures on the sanctuary.
The short chapter
posted in this newsletter, offers you a sample of Prof. Gane's marvellous insights into the
typological meaning of the sanctuary service and its relevance for our
Christian life today.

Who
is Prof. Roy Gane?
Prof. Roy Gane is
Professor of Hebrew Bible and Ancient Near Eastern Languages and Director of
the Ph.D./Th.D. and M.Th. programs at the Seventh-day Adventist Theological
Seminary at Andrews University.
He was born in
Sydney, Australia and graduated from Pacific Union College in 1977 with a B.A.
in theology and a B.Mus. in piano performance. He completed his M.A. (1983) and
Ph.D. (1992) in Hebrew language and literature at the University of California
and taught in the Religion Department of Pacific Union College from 1992-94
before moving to Andrews University.
Dr. Gane's
academic resum is most impressive. He has authored a number of articles for
scholarly and lay readers, Adult Bible Study Guides, two Sabbath School
quarterlies on Judges (spring, 1996) and Isaiah (spring, 2004), and six books: Gods
Faulty Heroes (Review
and Herald, 1996—on stories in Judges); Altar Call (Diadem, 1999—how to interact with
Christ in His sanctuary), Ritual Dynamic Structure (Gorgias Press, 2004); the Leviticus,
Numbers volume of the
NIV Application Commentary series (Zondervan, 2004); Cult and Character:
Purification Offerings, Day of Atonement, and Theodicy (Eisenbrauns, 2005); Whos Afraid of
the Judgment? (Pacific
Press, 2006—how Gods judgment reveals His character).
Having
specialized in the biblical sanctuary services, Gane is particularly interested
in applying insights from them to modern spiritual life and to the SDA
understanding of how Christ saves His people. He is a frequent feature speaker
at camp meetings and workers meetings.
Dr. Ganes
interest in the ancient Near East is shared by his wife, Connie Clark Gane.
Together they have studied at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and participated
in archaeological excavations in Iraq and Jordan. Connie is in the dissertation
phase of her Ph.D. in Mesopotamian archaeology at the University of California,
Berkeley, and is teaching in the Seminary. The Ganes have a teenage daughter,
Sarah, and live in Berrien Center, Michigan with two dogmatic dogs, two cats, a
chicken, and a duck.
For me Dr. Gane
is a kind and gracious Christian gentleman, who loves the Lord and serves
students and people with patience and dedication.

My wifes parents
love the people of Nepal. They lived for a number of years in that country,
where my father-in-law worked as a physician. Recently they returned to Nepal,
and even though they were almost seventy years of age, they hiked for eleven
hours over the rugged foothills of the Himalaya mountains to reach a remote
village. There at a small clinic they relieved some younger workers, who needed
to get away and rest.
When the people
of villages in the region heard that there was a physician in the area, they
flocked to the clinic. Many were in pitiful condition, with serious illnesses
and injuries. My father-in-law has a kind heart, so he worked day and night
rather than turn people away. He became seriously exhausted, but continued to
treat patients in spite of the fact that his work of mercy was consuming his
health.
Christs work of
mercy completely consumed Him. This and other meanings were expressed by the
burnt offering sacrifice.
Burnt
Offering Sacrifice: Completely
Consumed
Except for the
hide, which went to the officiating priest (Lev 7:8), the body of the burnt
offering was completely consumed on the altar (1:8-9). This is a fitting symbol
of Christ, who offered Himself on the cross as a sacrifice for us (see Heb
7:27).
Foundation
Sacrifice
John the Baptist
introduced Jesus as the Lamb of God (Jn 1:29). John could have referred to
Christ as the Bull of God, the Ram of God or the Goat of God. But John
chose the expression Lamb of God. Why? For one thing, Isaiah had prophesied
that Gods Servant, who would suffer for our sins (Isa 53:5), would be like a
lamb that is led to the slaughter (verse 7). Also, the foundational sacrifice
of the Israelite sacrificial system was the regular burnt offering, consisting
of a lamb in the morning and a lamb in the evening (Num 28:1-8). All other
sacrifices were performed in addition to this. By calling Jesus the Lamb, John
implied that Jesus is the basic sacrifice, as if to say: Here is the One who
fulfills the role of the whole sacrificial system!
Sin
laid on Him
The first action
of a private burnt offering was to lay one hand on the head of the animal to
identify the offerer who was giving the sacrifice and who would receive
atonement as a result (Lev 1:4). The fact that the offerer laid his/her hand on
the animal points to the role of Christ that Isaiah prophesied: Surely he has
borne our infirmities and carried our diseases (Isa 53:4). Christ atones for us
by taking our troubles upon Himself.
Ransom,
Redemption
Leviticus 17:11
speaks of sacrificial blood making atonement for the lives of the Israelites,
that is, ransoming their lives. Instead of dying, a person offered a sacrifice
in which blood, representing life, constituted payment of a ransom. Since the
blood represented Christs blood, it is clear that Christs blood has the
function of ransoming sinful human beings, as explicitly indicated by the New
Testament (1 Pet 1:18-19; compare Matt 20:28; Mk 10:45; 1 Tim 2:6).
A number of
biblical passages use the terminology of redemption with reference to what
Christ and His blood accomplished (for example Eph 1:7; 1 Cor 1:30).
Redemption is clearly a legal concept (compare Lev 25:25). So is the idea of
forgiving/releasing debt, which appears in the Lords Prayer as an expression
of the forgiveness that God gives through Christs sacrifice (Matt 6:12). If
you have any doubt that debt is a legal matter, just read the fine print on
your loan papers!
His
Life for Our Lives
The
ransom or redemption price that Christ paid was Himself. He gave his perfect
life for our sinful lives. Just as animal sacrifices were to be physically
unblemished (Lev 1:3; 22:17-25), Christ was morally unblemished in that He did
not sin (Heb 4:15). But by allowing Himself to be a sacrificial victim, Christ
died in place of sinners (Isa 53:5, 10).
King David
offered to bear divine retribution in place of those who had been numbered and
were about to die as a result of the census that he had ordered (2 Sam 24:17).
Christ not only offered, he poured out himself to death, and was numbered with
the transgressors; yet he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the
transgressors (Isa 53:12).
2 Corinthians
5:21 is even more powerful: God made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in
him we might become the righteousness of God. Imagine that! In a sense, Christ
became sin! He bore every evil passion and selfish degradation of the billions
of people who have ever inhabited our planet. With that overwhelming deluge of
misery collected upon Him and identified with Him as if He were the
personification of all evil, He gave Himself up for destruction in order to
wipe out all sin and all of its consequences.
Now we can understand
what Jesus said to Nicodemus: And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the
wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in him
may have eternal life (Jn 3:14-15). Jesus was referring to the time when the
Israelites sinned and they were punished by means of poisonous snakes, which
bit them so that they died. When they repented and Moses prayed for them, the
Lord directed him to make a statue of a snake and set it on a pole so that
those who were bitten could look at it, and by doing so they would live (Num
21:8-9).
The snake statue
did not heal anyone by itself. It was not magic. God healed people who
expressed faith by looking to the symbol that He had provided. Symbol of what?
By identifying Himself with the snake statue, Jesus pointed to Himself, lifted
up on the cross, as the ultimate source of life for sinners. He is not merely
an antidote for snake-bite. He gives life that is eternal.
Why should Jesus
be represented as a snake, a symbol of misery and death resulting from sin and
a reminder of the Satanic serpent that introduced sin to the human race (Gen
3)? Because Jesus allowed Himself to be identified with human evil so that by
dying He might destroy it (compare Heb 2:14) and so that by looking we might
live.
Gods
Gift
The Hebrew word
translated burnt offering literally means ascending. The offering ascended
to God in the form of smoke as a pleasing aroma (Lev 1:9), as if it were
incense. Remember that the Hebrew word for turning sacrifices to smoke on the
altar is related to the word for incense.
The fact that God
received His sacrificial food (compare Num 28:2) in the form of smoke showed
that He did not really need human food at all (Ps 50:12-13). So the food gifts
offered by Israelites were tokens of faith by which they accepted Gods
infinitely greater gift of atonement. Christ, to whom the animal sacrifices
pointed (Jn 1:29), is not a gift of human beings to God; rather, He is Gods
gift to humanity (Jn 3:16). The Israelites were not buying their salvation at
all. Ephesians 2:8 was true in Old Testament times: For by grace you have been
saved through faith...
Ascending
for Divine Acceptance
A burnt offering
sent smoke ascending to God for His acceptance (Lev 1:9). Similarly, Christ ascended
to heaven to receive acceptance from His Father. When Jesus appeared to Mary
Magdalene just after His resurrection, He said to her: Do not hold on to me,
because I have not yet ascended to the Father (Jn 20:17). This verse indicates
that after appearing to Mary, Jesus ascended to heaven that day like the smoke
from a sacrifice, after which He returned to earth and appeared to His other
disciples for several weeks before ascending permanently. Christs brief
ascension on the day of His resurrection was foreshadowed about 1,000 years
earlier when the Angel of the Lord ascended in the flame from Manoahs
sacrifice (Judg 13:20).
Now here is
something astounding: Jesus appeared to Mary Magdalene before He even went to
heaven to have His sacrifice accepted by his Father! Christ interrupted the
ascending offering of Himself, the most important event in human history, to
comfort one distraught, forgiven sinner: Mary. Unlike Jesus disciples, His own
family, and the religious leaders of His nation, Mary had understood that
Christs mission to earth was to save sinners like her, the weakest of the
weak. And it was Mary, only Mary, who had anointed Him ahead of time for His
burial (Jn 12:1-8).
Jesus
is the Ultimate Good Samaritan.
He didnt let His
rendezvous with destiny keep Him from turning aside to help someone in need.
After all, helping people was the reason for His sacrifice in the first place.
He didnt let His work of providing atonement for the whole world, important as
it was, prevent Him from caring for Marys feelings. What an incredible example
of priorities! Do you think He is sensitive enough to care about your feelings?
Christ has proven
that He is totally committed to your salvation. If you ever doubt that God
loves you, remember what He has done.

NEWLY
RELEASED DVD ALBUM CALLED
ABUNDANT
LIFE SEMINAR
At the request of the World's Woman's
Christian Temperance Union, a special video taping was professionally done at Andrews
University last August 8, 2007, of my powerpoint lecture on The Christian and Alcoholic
Beverages. The lecture summarizes the highlights of
my book Wine in the Bible. With the help of 125 powerpoint slides, I share the findings of my
research which shows that the Bible clearly teaches total abstinence, and not
moderation.
This
lecture was delivered live at the International Convention of the World Woman's Christian Temperance Union, which was held in Indianapolis from September
14-16, 2007. The Grand Ball Room was packed with Temperance Leaders from
different parts of the world. I received a standing ovation at the conclusion
of my powerpoint presentation.
In
order to make full use of the DVD disk, we video taped also my popular
powerpoint lecture entitled How to Build a Happy and Lasting Marriage. This is one of my favorite sermon where
I share the highlights of my book The Marriage Covenant, by presenting 10 biblical principles for
building a happy and lasting marriage. I use 100 powerpoint slides to deliver
this practical lecture, which has been warmly received by congregations in
different parts of the world.
At
this time you can order this DVD album, called ABUNDANT LIFE SEMINAR, at the special introductory offer of
only $50.00, instead of the regular price of $100.00. The price includes the
AIRMAILING to any foreign country.
