Bøger af Alonzo T Jones

Alonzo T. Jones and Ellet J. Waggoner present a series of articles demonstrating the simplicity of faith. Graciously they outline the simple steps in order to find the perfect balance between faith and works.

Sermons from the 1893 General Conference Bulletin given by A.T. Jones. Sermons contain details about the message of Revelation 14:6-12, often referred to as "the three angels' messages." Also discussed in these sermons is the threat to religious liberty as the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America is challenged.

This volume 2 of 4 contains some three books, sixty-three sermons of three General Conference Sessions, and four pamphlets-over 700,000 words. There are nearly 7,000,000 recorded words of A. T. Jones available to us. In choosing the material for the planned four volumes, consideration was given to the tendency of placing one's most important material in the most permanent form-books and pamphlets. Thus, the four volumes will contain largely books and pamphlets, plus all of the recorded General Conference sermons, and some selected journal articles. A few booklets and pamphlets that are duplicated in the retained publications are not included. The four "Empire Series" books, - The Empires of the Bible, The Great Empires of Prophecy, Ecclesiastical Empire, and The Great Nations of Today-begin at the Tower of Babel, and cover the history of the world. Jones, Alonzo Trevier (1850-1923) -. Editor, author, preacher. Jones became an SDA in 1874 while in the Army at Fort Walla Walla. He soon became involved in evangelism in the Northwest. He was called in 1885 to assist with periodical editorial work at the Pacific Press, where Ellet J. Waggoner was also working as editor. Jones' knowledge of history enabled him quickly to become the church's expert on the fulfillment of prophecy in the realm of religious liberty. With Waggoner, he pushed the frontiers of understanding the righteousness of Christ in relation to liberty and salvation. May of 1888 Senator Blair brought a national Sunday bill to the U. S. Senate, with Jones appearing later that year before a Senate committee to oppose that legislation on behalf of the church, the first of many testimonies he would give in those settings. The 1888 General Conference Session brought to a head the differences between some leaders and Jones and Waggoner. The issues were prophecy and salvation. Ellen White endorsed the urgency of the crisis in relation to religious liberty and prophecy highlighted by Jones. She later would call the salvation message Jones and Waggoner were presenting "most precious" and prophesied against those who called them "fanatics, extremists, and enthusiasts" (1888 1336.2 & 1341.2). Next to Ellen White, Jones is undoubtedly the most prolific writer the SDA denomination has ever had. Over the years, he did editorial work for a number of our publications. In 1897 he became editor of the Review and Herald for a few years. Ellen White repeatedly, at least through 1899, spoke of Jones as a messenger of God with a special work to do (1888 1455.2), and warned of the "fatal delusion" of rejecting the message, especially if either Waggoner or Jones were to lose their way (1888 1455.2). As the church entered into the period when it would "remain here in this world because of insubordination many more years" (Lt 184, 1901), Jones departed from church membership, but remained active in publishing the last 20 years of his life, and kept the Sabbath until his death in 1923. - Adapted from the Adventist Pioneer Library Publications Included In Vol 2: 1893 The Captivity of the Republic-book of 110 pages 1893 The Columbian Year and The Meaning of the Four Centuries-book of 40 pages 1893 General Conference Daily Bulletin, Vol. 5 -24 Sermons 1893 Shall Religion Be Taught in the Public Schools?-pamphlet of 11 pages 1894 Christ and the Pharisees or Christ's Faithfulness In Sabbath-Keeping-pamphlet of 33 pages 1894 The Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary-pamphlet of 13 pages 1894 The Puritan Sabbath for "Physical Rest"-pamphlet of 10 pages 1895 General Conference Bulletin, Vol. 1-28 Sermons 1897 General Conference Daily Bulletin, Vol. 1-11 Sermons 1898 The Great Empires of Prophecy, from Babylon to the Fall of Rome-book of 696 pages

A Lei Dominical Nacional tem chocado a mente dos mais hábeis defensores da liberdade religiosa por sua consistência lógica. Você lerá o argumento completo de Jones contra o projeto de Lei Dominical do Senador Blair em 1888, incluindo suas próprias adições posteriores.Alonzo T. Jones (1850-1923). Editor, autor e pregador, Jones se tornou Adventista do Sétimo Dia em 1874 enquanto servia como soldado no Exército Americano. Ele logo se envolveu com evangelismo, e, em 1885, foi chamado para auxiliar na obra editorial das revistas da Pacific Press, onde E. J. Waggoner trabalhava como editor e autor.O conhecimento de Jones sobre história fez com que ele prontamente se tornasse o especialista da denominação no assunto de profecias e da liberdade religiosa. Juntamente com Waggoner, ele estava expandindo as fronteiras na compreensão da justiça de Cristo em relação à liberdade e salvação.

The following 26 sermons were given by A.T. Jones at the General Conference of 1895 and presented to a live audience of ministers, as recorded in the General Conference Bulletins.This material has been reformatted, but not re-edited for the reader's enjoyment. The spelling, punctuation, and grammar remain unchanged. Chapter titles have been added to provide a brief summary of each sermon.The first seven sermons present the Righteousness of Christ in the context of Religious Liberty. To provide some contextual background, in 1888 the religious freedom of America came under threat with the introduction of the Blair Bill. The intent of the Blair Bill was to recognise Christianity as the religion of the nation and Sunday as the Sabbath. A devout Bible student, Alonzo T. Jones astutely identified this as a major step towards the union of church and state in direct fulfilment of Revelation 13:15 in Bible prophecy. Jones commented that "when this is done, its influence in favour of the papacy will be inestimable."Although the Blair Bill was not officially passed in Congress, the ruling in the case of the World Trade Fair set an irreversible precedent which placed the Government in the hands of the churches. Conscientious Americans became concerned as they saw the protective framework of the 1st Amendment corrode away.Jones draws an interesting parallel between the Roman siege of Jerusalem in 67A.D. and the spiritual siege of America in 1892 through the World Trade Fair. He identified that although the Roman siege of Jerusalem subsided for a time, the armies returned with a vengeance.EXTRACTED FROM THE PREFACE

The year 1893 was an important year in the history of Protestant America, and hence also for the church. The world had been invited to attend the "World's Columbian Exposition" or commonly known as the "World fair" which was a showcase of the world's leading technologies and manufactures. During the six months in which it was open, being the 1st of May until the 30th October, 27,000,000 visitors had paid the 50 cent admission price, which means that nearly half of the American population at that time had travelled to Chicago to see the fair.The Presbyterian churches and other religious groups saw the Fair as an opportunity to promote the principles of their faith, and through petitions signed by millions of people, they lobbied the US Government to close the Fair on Sundays. The Senate conceded, and passed legislation stipulating that the appropriation of funds which the Government would provide to the Chicago World Fair would be contingent on the Fair being closed to the public on Sundays. This was a direct violation of the 1st Amendment of the Constitution which stated that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion..." Protestant churches within America had successfully gained a controlling influence over the Government of the United States of America.Jones had been active representing the cause of religious liberty to the Senate in direct opposition to the Presbyterians. But a few months later, during the 1893 General Conference, he confessed the reality of the matter: "The government of the United States is now in the hands of a hierarchy and no longer in the hands of the representatives of the people. Government as our forefathers established it, is gone, irretrievably gone now. Government of the people, by the people and for the people is gone. The authority of the government from the people, expressed in the Constitution, and the government to be conducted according to the Constitution is gone. The constitution has been overridden, and now it is ignored..."That action has put the government of the United States into the hands of the churches. It has established the mark of the beast as the Sabbath of the nation and for all the world, and it has done it in place of the Sabbath of the fourth commandment in express words in the legislation. "And what is this now in our own nation? The image of the papacy." (Chapter 3 of this book)This fact is established in the first few chapters of this book as Jones gives the account of his representation before the Senate. These first discourses may at first seem a bit dry, and you may be tempted to pass them by, but we encourage you to persevere in their reading that you may become familiar with the historical context in which these important studies were given. If it was imperative that the church received these messages in the year 1893, how more readily should we be welcoming them into our hearts and lives today?If you will read the following pages with a teachable spirit and a willing heart, they will change your life. Our experience today is no different to that of Seventh-day Adventists in the years surrounding 1888. We are either making too much of the law and becoming legalistic Pharisees trying to save ourselves by our own works, and busily looking over our shoulders in judgment upon our fellow men, and either living in constant fear of the condemnation of God or exalting ourselves as "holier than thou"; or we have become altogether blasé about our accountability before God and His requirements. Jones presents faith and works as a synergistic means of salvation with a harmonious balance that is greatly lacking in the ministries of the churches of today. Whilst setting men free from the condemnation of the law by the gift of the righteousness of Jesus Christ, Jones shows how it is that through that same gift, we may meet its claims in our practical lives.EXTRACTED FROM THE FOREWORD
