Those three ideas I referred to as the, Axiomatic Permanence and Ethereal Essence of Ideas Necessary Cohe
The gospel according to Holy Scripture is not the gospel according to evangelical Christianity. The latter so-called “gospel,” by which key Adventist doctrines are being faulted and condemned, is not found in the Bible.

How can we take the guidance of scripture and apply it practically in our communities?
