The Great Controversy Chapter 3: An Era of Spiritual Darkness

The Great Controversy Chapter 3: An Era of Spiritual Darkness

????

Who is the "man of sin," described in 2 Thessalonians 2 who opposes God and seeks to take His place on Earth through blasphemous teachings and practices? This week Pastor Ted Wilson discusses the third chapter of The Great Controversy, entitled 'The Era of Spiritual Darkness.' As the medieval church sought to gain wealth and power, it was led to make a compromise between paganism and Christianity, supplanting the word of Christ with allegiance to a human being�the powerful bishop of Rome. Without the Bible as a safeguard, people had no standard to distinguish between right and wrong and were at the mercy of a corrupt Church and clergy. What followed was an era of spiritual darkness foretold by prophecy. During the 1,260 years of darkness, the word of God was nearly banished from the face of the Earth. Evil had full sway, with unthinkable crimes being committed and celebrated. Yet, God's light of truth is never fully extinguished. Throughout history, He has always preserved a remnant who are true to His Word. To learn more about this era of spiritual darkness, read The Great Controversy by Ellen White at https://greatcontroversyproject.org/.

Why do we have that sign of a cross on the Bible instead of the three Angels

Can you make a Great Controversy play list please ?
@edithdotson7603 Says:
That's a pretty good summary by Pastor Wilson. However, don't forget to READ and STUDY it for yourself. There is so much in it. Pay close attention to the sequence of events, the new doctrines introduced and what they entail so that when you share with others or when you hear the terms used you will immediately know what each means. For example: Inquisition, purgatory, mass, saints, Eucharist, transubstantiation, etc. Blessed is he who reads and studies.

Modern Christians are still kept in spiritual darkness,not reading the Bible itself,rather they still rely on the pastors for the answers.

The Catholics are afraid to read the book named The Great Controversy.
@challengechabvuta8869 Says:
This book was voted for thi year ....but it has not been fully translated into all African languages. It is difficult studying it with grannies and other half literate members in church.

@barryford1482 Says:
Dear pastor Ted you are going back to your old Historicism views with false dates and exagerated views on Catholic doctrine. One Question. Where does our Bible come from and who decided the content of the scriptures therein ?
@solomonjalangachiekjalang1553 Says:
What a touching story ! It has exhaustively explained the dreadful history that has befall our brethren in the past. The enemy tried with all the means available to destroy the truth, but it will never completely extinguish it. Thanks to his benevolence power and Grace. God has been safeguarding a remnant throughout ages. It is often a blessing listening to you Pastor Ted Wilson. Our prayers are with you for the success of God's mission and the soon return of our redeemer. May God bless all the ministers 🙏.
