Q. I just want to tell you that you are on the side of Truth! I thank Dr. Ford for his unadulterated gospel ministry! I wish I was fortunate enough to sit in his class. I have the conviction that God raised him to reach all Christian denominations and bring them into the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The SDA church thwarted that plan by driving him out. Alas, God's enemies always rise from within. God bless and keep up the good work you are doing.

A. Dear Mezgebe, Thank you for your encouragement. May God strengthen you in his friendship and great love, Ron J. Allen.

Q. The two halves of the Law (love God and love other humans) clearly is incomplete if to love God means nothing more than to have an abstract 'loving feeling' toward God, or even to obey the simple verbatim of Gods commands without understanding. A young bride can feel romance for her new groom, but the bridge between that romantic feeling and the effective caring for her groom must be at once firm and sensitive, else the marriage suffers. Christians admit that without observant Judaism, there would never have been any Christianity. But, most Christians throughout history have been quick to dismiss the parts of Judaism they mistake as formalism. I believe Jesus was both the most powerful and most humble rabbi to ever live. But, most Christians, despite their claims, do not effectively believe this. One cannot effectively believe in the power and humility of mathematics while believing that 2+2 can just as well equal 3 as it equals 4. So it goes with the Sabbath. The most immediately demanding of Sacred Things is the survival-sustenance-matehood triad. But, in the longest run, this triad is destroyed when the bridge between love-of-others and love-of-God is ignored or eclipsed; when the most gentle of Sacred Things, which is the Respiratory Cycle of the Whole Creation, is refused and, finally, forgotten. Read the final phrase of Revelation 11:18. Not even Sunday is observed as sacred any more, when a full day's rest is sacrificed to that god of the Rat Race, The Divine Right of the Protestant Work Ethic/Progress/Capitalism.

The typical Gentile Christian never asks for himself what sort of legalistic fit must God have been in when God ordered a man stoned to death for collecting sticks on the Sabbath. The typical Gentile Christian may love to believe that God no longer requires such legalism, but I say that that typical Christian is a fool to teach that God ever required such legalism. Salvation cannot be obtained by keeping the Law for the simple reason that the slightest, momentary violation of its spirit automatically condemns that only-one-time-violator to a death from which there is no salvation by an otherwise sinless life. So, legalism is not quite what the typical Gentile Christian has been taught that it is. Nor is salvation-by-the-Law quite what that typical Gentile Christian loves to hate. For, Jesus is that salvation, as a man, precisely because Jesus kept the spirit of the Law to a T. Jesus then was hung on that T for having been wrongly accused of having broken it by those who were arrogantly legalistic. The full range and depth of worldly benefits for observing the humble sacred Truths seem always to eclipse those Truths. This is how powerful the Truth is. This also is how humble the Truth is.

A. Thanks Daniel, Ron J. Allen

Q. Hi, I just wanted to say that i very very very much appreciate the work Dr. Ford has done concerning the defending of the gospel and correcting the error of the Investigative Judgement. Without out, i would probably still be confused about the gospel and never learn about the love of God. Thank God for Dr. Ford!

A. Rogier, God Bless, Ron J. Allen

Thank you.

A. Dear Elizabeth, Yes you can. May God bless and keep you.Ron J. Allen.

Q. Hi pastor Ron, Do you know if this article of Dr. Ford "1979 Forum Meeting RA" about the investigated judgement or historical neccesity? is available on MP3 format for purchase or download? In Him, -Felix

A. Dear Felix, No it isn't. The best you can do is print hard copy from this web site. Sorry we can't offer the format you are wanting. God Bless Ron J. Allen.

Q. I made an atempt to request one of the books on Daniel 8:14 The Day of Atonement, etc., but could not. Would you be kind enough to send me a copy. Thank you. PS I was really looking for the book "Daniel" (that one with the Hebrew letters written by Desmond Ford before 1980). Is it still in print? Available? Or is there an updated edition? I would like a copy. [lost my original]. Thank you again.

A. Dear David, The original edition of Des' book "Daniel" is well out of print. It has been replaced by Daniel and the Coming King" 1996 ed. It is readily available from GNU USA. Email your order using: gnu@goodnewsunlimited.org God Bless, Ron J. Allen.

Q. Hi Ron, I wonder was Des ever aware of a little known fact about J.N. Andrews: Andrews published the teaching (on several occasions in the Signs of the Times) that Christ entered the Most Holy in Heaven in A.D. 31 to "anoint it with His own blood." With this the book of Hebrews is in agreement. I am an ex-Catholic SDA who believes Des was right on this much disputed point. As for the "Judgement" relating to the end of the 2300 days, I believe in this to refer to the casting out of the papal dogmas which had desecrated God's Sanctuary (his Church) such as Eternal torment; also the restoration of the Sabbath which the Catholic Church had changed when she "thought to change times and laws" Dan 7:25 It should be a special day of at-one-ment (making at one) of God's people with the Father through a greater understanding of his merciful character since 1844. I love and pray for Dr. Ford. Jesus loves him very much too. Please forward this to him. Yours in Christ, Larry Woodhams Sr. P.S. Beneath is the quote from J.N. Andrews. JNA SANC2300 T H E S A N C T U A R Y page 0072 paragraph 1 And also the Prince, or mediator, of the new covenant. Verse 25; 11:22; Heb. 12:24. 7. He brings to Daniel's view the new-covenant sanctuary. Gabriel informed Daniel that before the close of the seventy weeks, which belonged to the earthly sanctuary, the Most Holy should be anointed. That this "Most Holy" is the true tabernacle in which the messiah is to officiate as priest, we offer the following testimony: JNA SANC2300 T H E S A N C T U A R Y page 0072 paragraph 2 " `And to anoint the Most Holy;' kodesh kodashim, the Holy of holies." - Adam Clarke. Dan. 9:24. JNA SANC2300 T H E S A N C T U A R Y page 0072 paragraph 3 "Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people, and the city of thy sanctuary; that sin may be restrained, and transgression have an end; that iniquity may be expiated, and an everlasting righteousness brought in; that visions and prophecies may be sealed up, and the Holy of holies anointed." - Houbigant's Translation of Dan. 9:24, as cited in Clarke's Commentary. JNA SANC2300 T H E S A N C T U A R Y page 0072 paragraph 4 " `To anoint the Most Holy.' Hebrew, literally `Holy of holies.' Heaven itself, which Christ consecrated, when he ascended and entered it, sprinkling, or consecrating, it with his own blood for us." - Litch's Restitution, page 89. JNA SANC2300 T H E S A N C T U A R Y page 0072 paragraph 5 "And the last event of the 70 weeks, as enumerated in verse 24, was the anointing of the `Most Holy,' or the `Holy of holies,' or the `Sanctum Sanctorum.' Not that which was on earth, made with hands, but the true tabernacle, Heaven itself, into which Christ, our high priest, is for us entered. Christ was to do in the true tabernacle, in Heaven, what Moses and Aaron did in its pattern. See Heb. 6; 7; 8; 9. And Ex. 30:22-30. Also Lev. 8:10-15." - Advent Shield, No. 1, page 75. JNA SANC2300 T H E S A N C T U A R Y page 0072 paragraph 6

A. Dear Lawrence, Thank you for your email and the observations contained therein. I'll forward it to Des. Blessings, Ron J. Allen.
