Dear Christian Friend,


Have you ever had the problem of proving or defending a tenet of your church doctrine from the Bible alone?  Do you feel comfortable with the prospect of defending your faith with knowledgeable students of theology without using writings that are unique to you denomination?

When I retired from my busy surgical practice, seven years ago, I felt the desire to share my faith with any who might be interested.  I had been raised in the Adventist faith and would have staked my life that my church was God's true church.  I knew I could prove to anyone who would accept writings from my church's pioneers, but felt an inability to prove and defend everything from the Bible alone.

I began an intensive study of the Bible to bolster my weakness which I felt to be entirely due to a lack of dedicated Bible study of the various aspects of our church doctrines.  I had absolutely no doubt that these doctrines were as solid as the Rock of Gibraltar.

As I continued my study and became better acquainted with what the Bible was describing, I found an entirely different scenario from the one that I was trying to fortify.  The more I studied, the more unscriptural it became.

Over the past two years I have taken a series of 25 topics from my study and by the Bible alone  tried to portray exactly what the Bible was stating.  I avoided twisting any text to make it fit what I might want it to fit.  These studies are numbered roughly in the order that they were produced.

Since I was planning on sending a sample of these studies to those with an Adventist background, I asked the Lord to select the one He would prefer for one to send.  I cut out 26 pieces of paper and on each piece a number from 1 to 26.  Each of the first 25 had a number to correspond to the book number on my booklet inventory.  The piece with the #26 I wrote -- "Send None."

With the response that most of my Adventist friends have to these studies I fully expected the Lord to choose #26.  The number I drew was #5 -- "God's Rest."

I personally would have chosen several other booklets which an Adventist might have less difficulty to accept, but the choice was not mine.

May God bless you in your study of His Word.


Sincerely your brother-in-Christ,

                                Jack Gent M.D.

 

 

 

 

             
   


Booklet   List

 

 
             
 

 

1

   

The Millennium

   

This is a study of how the Bible describes events and conditions on the earth during the 1000 years following Christ's Second Coming.


 
   

2

   

The Seven Churches of Revelation

   

Just what do these churches represent in their application to our time and events -- still future.
 
The answer may surprise you.

 

 
   

3

   

Precious Gems from the Scriptures

   

A dozen subjects -- usually short prophecies, often passed over, but each with significant import to our time.  One of my favorites.

 

 
   

4

   

The Seventy Weeks of
Daniel Nine

 

   

Anyone who has had a problem making this prophecy fit a preconceived scenario will find here the way it fits Scripture without bending or twisting.  It also is the only way it makes perfect sense.

 

 
   

5

   

God's Rest

   

Does entering God's rest mean
the keeping of the Sabbath?

Is Sunday now God's Sabbath?

This and more explained with Scripture.

 

 
   

6

   

Armageddon

   

The forces represented in the battle at Christ's Second Coming; its imminence to our time and how we may be involved.  Its outcome in detail.

 

 
   

7

   

The Image to
the Beast

   

What is the Image to the Beast?  Many entities have been proposed to try to fit them with the Scriptures.  I believe you will have difficulty in finding one more Scriptural -- or more timely.

 

 
   

8

   

The Flying Scroll

   

Was Ellen White a true prophetess of God? 
Is there Scriptural evidence that forbids that acceptance?  I believe you will find compelling evidence for the position stated in this study.

 

 
   

9

   

The Scroll with the Seven Seals

   

This may represent a new thought to you, but it is not totally unique.  I believe you will find it Scriptural.

 

 
   

10

   

The First and Second Resurrections

   

Definitely different from most, but completely Scriptural, with no bending needed.  Is your understanding of this fully backed by the Bible?  This one is.

 

 
   

11

   

The Lamb-like
Beast

 

   

Is this speaking of the United States?  Is it speaking of the Counterfeit lamb?  This study will verify, from Scripture, which one it is.

This one has some overlap with The Image to the Beast.  This is difficult to avoid as they are closely related.)

 

 
   

12

   

The Rapture --
Is it Scriptural?

   

Don't read this to bolster that theory.  I believe anyone could fall in love with that theory.  Unfortunately for that concept, this study will reveal the sand that it is built on.

 

 
   

13

 

   

The Israelites -- From Calvary
to Canaan

   

The status of the Israelites -- from the crucifixion, where God abandoned them, until their restoration at the time of the end, and their place in the Millennial Kingdom.

 

 
   

14

   

The Sinaitic Covenant

 

   

Was it for just the Jews, or for all mankind? 
Was it to last forever, or was it for a specified time?  Has it been replaced, and if so, by what and when?


These and many more questions answered by undeniable specific texts.

 

 
   

15

   

Satan's Life
Cycle

 

   

Most will find this scenario to differ from their time-honored view, but nothing is presented that is not backed by undeniable evidence.  See if you can find where your view is Scriptural and this one is not.  From the Bible only -- please.

 

 
   

16

   

The 3 Angels' Messages

   

Most Bible students have only a vague under-
standing of these messages, how they apply, and to whom they refer.  Some make these messages refer specifically to their  denomination.


I  believe that this booklet will prove that that cannot be true.

 

 
   

17

   

Christ's Second Coming

 

   

The events leading up to and those immedi- ately following the Second Coming,
as well as the event itself.

 

 
   

18

   

God's Promises -- Are They All
Conditional?

 

   

Have all the promises of God, in almost every prophetic book in the Bible, been trashed due to the failure of the Jews?  Some say they are.  But can you prove that from the Bible?  This study may surprise you if you believe that.

 

 
   

19

   

The 144,000

   

It is impossible to understand the events of
the time of the end without knowing who the 144,000 are and what their mission will be.

This booklet covers these topics in detail.

 

 
   

20

   

Our Immortal Soul

 

   

Are the wages of sin death, or eternal burning in the flames of hell?  It can't be both.  Which one is it?

 

 
   

21

   

How  Are  We
Born Again?

   

How is a person born again?

Is it important to know what it represents?

Is it important for us to experience?

 

 
   

22

   

Jewelry and
Meat Eating

 

   

Does God downgrade His children when they wear jewelry, or do not discriminate as to which meats it is safe to eat?

This booklet may surprise you as to how God views these items.

 

 
   

23

   

What Harm has been Done?

 

   

What constitutes the Everlasting Gospel?  Does the Bible leave any leeway for changes or alterations?  Are there Scriptural warnings to anyone who might attempt to do this?

 

 
   

24

   

The Seal of God & The Mark of the Beast

 

   

What does the Seal of God represent to the true child of Christ?

Does it represent the keeping of the Sabbath?

Why is it indispensable for us to have this seal?

Why is it equally important to avoid the Mark of the Beast?

 

 
   

25

   

The Day of
the Lord

 

   

Most of the prophetic events described in the Book of Revelation are scheduled to take place during this time period.  No one can ever discover when it will begin, but when it begins all may know it.  They will then be able to determine precisely the timing of these events.

 

 
   

26

   

Once Saved, Always Saved

 

   

Is this a true statement in all circumstances?  Is it a contract that is irreversible?  Can this be defended from Scripture alone?

 

 
   

27

   

The Seventh-day versus Sunday as God's Sacred Day

 

   

Which day is God's holy, sacred day?  Is there any such day?  Can this be definitely proven from the Bible?  Let us consider what the Bible says.

 

 
   

28

   

The Awesome Statue of Daniel Two

 

   

What is represented by the rock that is cut out of the mountain, but not by human hands?

When did it strike the statue on its feet of iron and clay and smash them?

When did it smash the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver and the gold all at the same time, and become a huge mountain that filled the whole earth?

These and many other questions explained.

 

 
   

29

   

Is the Sabbath
Commandment
Abolished?

 

 

   

Can the answer be proven from the Bible?  

Can we be certain of this?

 
   

30

   

Doctrines of
Demons

 

 

   

Could God have been revealing to Paul
the doctrines of a specific church
in the Latter Days?

Read this booklet before answering!

 
   

31

   

Is God for Real?

 

 

   

Could God have been revealing to Paul
the doctrines of a specific church
in the Latter Days?

Read this booklet before answering!

 
   

32

   

The Lord's
Remnant

 

 

   

Do the "Lord's Remnant" refer to a specific church at the time of the end?

Is it possible for anyone to join this group?

Can this be proven from the Bible?

 
   

33

   

The Three
Temples

 

 

   

Did the temple of Solomon fulfill God's prophecy to David that his descendent
would build "a house for my name
which will endure forever?

Did Zerubbabal's temple, that was in
existence during the time of Jesus,
fulfill that prophecy?

Could it be none of the above?


 
   

34

   

The Heavenly
Pregnancy

 

 

   

Are the 144,000 selected by God
from literal Isralites?   No!

Was God's rejection of the Nation
of Israel, as His special people,
permanent?   No!

Can this be substantiated from the Bible?    Yes!

 
   

35

   

The Two Wit- nesses

 

 

   

The two olive trees and two lampstands:
Do these symbols represent:

            witnesses from heaven?
            witnesses from the earth?
            both of the above?

Read and see if you agree.

 
   

36

   

The Shut Door

 

 

   

Did Ellen White, for the seven years after the Disappointment of October, 1844, preach that the "Shut Door" was a false doctrine?

Or did she during these years preach and claim that visions from God verified that probation for sinners had closed on that date?

Read the record in the non-promoted history
of the SDAs' own documents, and then make your own decision which of these statements
is the truth.
