According to Scripture
Sppnspre^ fry Pemhrokf Seventh Day Adventist Chnrrh
Following Q & A format of frequently
asked questions we continue
w ith our study of the commandment
that few keep First of all we notice
the words "worship Him that made
heaven and earth" (Revelation 14:7);
we see that it is the Creator that is to
be worshiped. Q: How are we to
remember His creatorship: Q: Did
He set aside a memorial so that we
would always be reminded who our
creator is? GEN 2:2,3 A: And on the
seventh day God ended his work
w hich he had made, and he rested on
the seventh day from all his work
which he had made. And God blessed
the seventh day, and sanctified it:
because that in it he had rested from
all his work which God created and
made. We see then that the seventh
day was set apart for worship to
commemorate Jesus' creation of this
world. Q: Don't some people say that
the Sabbath was done away with at
the cross? A: Yes, in fact quite a great
number believe that, but please notice
that the Seventh day Sabbath was
set aside for worship before sin even
entered this world and as such could
not have been done away with at the
cross. The text often quoted is Col
2:14-16 and it refers to the ceremonial
Sabbaths that had to do with the
laws that Moses wrote. These laws
were meant to bring reconciliation
between the Israelite and God. Contrast
these ceremonial lawsthat came
into existence after the entrance of
sin and pointed forward to a final
fulfillment on the cross, while the
seventh day Sabbath was set apart,
and made holy by God. the last part
of His creation week. The Sabbath,
the merfioriatof Cfeation, was given
before the entrance Of sin and could
not have been connected with the
ceremonial Sabbath (that dealt with
sin), which were abolished at the
cross. Q: Wasn't the entire law done
away with at the cross? A: MAT
05:17-19 Think not that I am come to
destroy the law, or the prophets: 1 am
not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For
verily 1 say unto you, Till heaven and
earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall
in no wise pass from the law, till all
be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore
shall break one of these least commandments,
and shall teach men so,
he shall be called the least in the
kingdom of heaven: but whosoever
shall do and teach them, the same
shall be called great in the kingdom
of heaven. Q: Wasn't the Sabbath
just for the Jews? A: Please note
again the text Gen. 2:2,3. Let's realize
that at the time no Jew or any
other ethnic group existed, the seventh
day was made holy (sanctified)
by God, it was tor manKina and not
any particular group Q: What law?
A The Royal law. the Perfect law ol
liberty.
JAMES 01 25 But whoso looketh
into the perfect law of liberty, and
continueth therein, he being not a
forgetful hearer, but a doer of the
work, this man shall be blessed in his
deed JAMES 02:08 If ye fulfil the
royal law according to the scripture.
Thou shall love thy neighbor as thyself.
ye do well. JAMES 02:10-12
For whosoever shall keep the whole
law, and yet offend in one point, he is
guilty of all For he that said. Do not
commit adultery, said also. Do not
kill. Now it thou commit adultery,
yet if thou kill, thou art become a
transgressor of the law. So speak ye,
and so do, as they that shall be judged
by the law of liberty. Special Note: If
one says that the law was done away
with at the cross, then one is also
doing away with a need for a savior!
For ' sin is the transgression of the
law" 1 John 3:4, and "where no law
is there is no sin" Romans 4:15; for
if there is no law, then there is no sin
and thus no need of a savior from sin!
So clearly the Royal law (10 commandments)
are still in force today,
or we have no need of Jesus our
savior! Either there is a law or there
is not; there is sin or there is hot! Q:
Why would a law that is perfect, just,
a nd good have to be done away with?
A: If something were perfect it would
not have to be changed! PSA 019:07
The law of the Lord is perfect, converting
the soul: the testimony of the
Lord is sure, making wise the simple
PSA 040:08 I delight to do thy will.
O my God: yea. thy law is within my
heart. PSA 119:097.... O how love I
thy law! It is my meditation all the
day. PRO 04:02 For 1 give you
good doctri ne. forsake ye not my law
Rom 07:12 Wherefore the law is
holy, and the commandhicnt holy,
and just, and good. Q: Didn't Jesus
give a new commandment when He
was hereon earth? Mark 12:30.31 A:
Please notice that Jesus' answer was
in response to a lawyer who was
attempting to entrap him. also note
that His response didn't contradict
the dialogue given in Exodus chapter
20. the first fourcommandmcnts deal
with our loyally, love. and obedience
to God: the second six deal with our
relationship to humanity . All Jesus
did was to put the 10 commandments
into a concentrated form!
Q: What was Jesus' command,
request and example?
A: John 14:15. John 14:21; John
15:10: John 15:12; John 15:14.17:
ROM 16:26.

Oneofthe more common illnesses

common cause of diarrhea is a viral
infection of the intestines, the sy mptoms
of diarrhea usually last about t
days, but may last up to 7 days the
frequent diaper changes can be a
hassle, but most cases of diarrhea arc
uncomplicated and do not cause a
threat to the health of the child. If lots
of fluids are lost during a bad diarrhea 1
attack, however, a child may run the
risk of dehydration. Dehydration can
have serious medical consequences,
but it is relatively easy to prevent by
making sure that the child drinks
enough of the right kinds of liquids
A good choice of flu ids for infants
with diarrhea include the oral
rehydration solutions, such as
Pedialyte or lnfalytc These have a
combination of salt, sugar and water
to replace that which is lost in the
bowel movements. These solutionis
will work much better than plain
water, or fluids, that have a lot of
sugar in them, such as soft drinks or
juices. Lots of sugar tends to make

Children with diarrhea need about
twice as much to drink as thc\ normall>
need For instance, a one sear
old with diarrhea should drink about
6 to 8 ounces even 2 hours It is good
to not allow a child to stay on an oral
hydration solutiononly for more than
24 hours It is important that your
child returns to a regular diet as k>on
as possible
Although your child nitty not be
interested in solid foods during the
first 24 hours of their illness, it is
important to begin feeding again as
soon as possible especially aficr 12
hours without food or formula At
that point, continue with
breastfeeding or the same formula
the baby is on. If the child is eating
solids, try bland foods suchas noodles
crackers, oatmeal, rice vegetables
bananas or yogurt Avoid fried, falls
foods or foods with a lot or sugar
such as ice cream or sweet cereals

Reflections

N ??- - /
24- }ear t 'elebration
The food was delicious And the
24-sear celebration of the Carolina
Indian Voice was interesting I remember
attending the ten scar eeb
cbration when Bruce Barton was still
the editor
It's been a decade since he turned
the reins over to his sister. Conncc
Bras bos From the beginning the
paper ssas a "fa nil Is affair."
While teaching an A B E (Adult
Basic Education) class in the spring
of 1976.1 got acquainted svith Bruce
and Cornice's mother and grandmother
That summer, when I look the
PSU Writing Workshop. Mrs Grace
Gibson encouraged me to folloss up
on my dream of doing a personal
column She suggested I contact all
the nearby weekly papers I decided
to concentrate on the Indian Voice
hoping to have a positive impact on
that young, local Indian ncssspapcr
svhilc. sharing thoughts and ideas
that seemed helpful to me
Although 1 did not begin ms column
ss riling earls as Violet Locklcar
and Ken Johnson. I've gotten acquainted
svith a number of different
stafT members oscr the years
At present I'd like to commend
Wild Turkey and his daughter
Scooter for helping ssith layout, typing.
etc
Hasing a column in the Carolina
Indian Voice has giscn me the opportunity
to meet a lot of interesting
people at the CIV office!
As I ssalkcd to my car after the
banquet was over. I realized 1 had
parked across from the classroom
where Leon used to teach science
ss hen that school ss as Pembroke High
School
Escn though I could not afford to
subscribe to the Indian Voice. I was
thrilled that there was a newspaper
by and for the Indian people of Ibis
area.
Concern About Cults
Lately there's been a big uproar
about culls. About how they program
their members. And hosv to de-program
those who have been brainsvashed.
What 1 have been try ing to say for
the past tcnyearsisthis: my GREATEST
concern over CULTS is that
lightly-controlled, top-dosvn. antiGod
WORLD-WIDE cult that goes
b\ the name "Communist Parl> "
In this cull BRAINWASHING
goes hand in hand with INFILTRATION
and PROPAGANDA (one
disinformation campaign alter another)
according to what I've been
studs ing since ll>87
There is NO ss as that the Communist
Parts could suddenly DIB all
oser the ssorld!
?l am sure thai members of those
tsso Fierce guerilla groups terrorizing
people in Peru have been indoctrinated
in Lenin's and/or Mao's version
ofMarxtsnt The "Shining Path"
groups has been called "MAOIST "
(Notice the lovely name. )Thcrc seems
to be less info in the media about the
"Marxist" Tupac Amaru Organization
I ssas rclicscd to learn that the
hostages held in the Japanese Enibassy
since December had Finally
been Freed'
OF course. I always hate to see
anyone killed (Including the Tupac
Amaru hostage lakers) But violence
begets violence It ssas THEIR terrorist
attack on the embassy that
made the rescue tactics necessary.
And that group's earlier actions that
led to the imprisonment oF so many
OF their "comrades."
In many parts oF the ssorld (including
Africa and Latin America?
Marxist andMarxist-Leninisl groups
have stirred up so much trouble that
It seems impossible to tell the "good
guys" From the "bad guys."
The Manipulators

Cull" have been working behind

watch the way Stefano and his

other people's lives on the
soap opera "Days of Our Lives."
Many individuals, and groups,
even in this country, have been manipulated
For yfcars by the "Communist
Cult" svithout even knowing it.
according to a wide variety of different
sources I've been researching.
Ever since beginningmy research
10 years ago. 1 have fell an urgent
need to warn people NOT to become
involved in any group or organization
that makes special promises until
checking it out carefully. Make sure
that it is not being subtly manipulated
