The Old Violin The Touch of the Masters Hand 'Twas battered and scarred, And the auctioneer thought it hardly worth his while To waste his time on the old violin, but he held it up with a smile. "What am I bid, good people", he cried, "Who starts the bidding for me? " "One dollar, one dollar, Do I hear two? " "Two dollars, who makes it three? " "Three dollars once, three dollars twice, going for three, "

But, No, From the room far back a gray bearded man Came forward and picked up the bow, Then wiping the dust from the old violin And tightening up the strings, He played a melody, pure and sweet As sweet as the angel sings. The music ceased and the auctioneer With a voice that was quiet and low, Said "What now am I bid for this old violin? "

As he held it aloft with its' bow. "One thousand, one thousand, Do I hear two? " "Two thousand, Who makes it three? " "Three thousand once, three thousand twice, Going and gone", said he. The audience cheered, But some of them cried, "We just don't understand. " "What changed its' worth? " Swift came the reply. "The Touch of the Masters Hand. "

"And many a man with life out of tune All battered and bruised with hardship Is auctioned cheap to a thoughtless crowd Much like that old violin A mess of pottage, a glass of wine, A game and he travels on. He is going once, he is going twice, He is going and almost gone. But the Master comes, And the foolish crowd never can quite understand, The worth of a soul and the change that is wrought By the Touch of the Masters' Hand. - by Myra Brooks Welch

Seventh Day Adventists “The man Christ Jesus was not the Lord God Almighty. ” SOURCE: Ellen G. White (1903, ms 150, SDA; Commentary V, p. 1129) Recounting her vision of December, 1844, Ellen speaks of her and Jesus as "In a moment we were winging our way upward…" Seeing this, in the light of her calling Him "Michael the Archangel" (Desire of Ages pp. 99, 379; Spiritual Gifts Vol. 1, p. 158; Prophets & Kings p. 572) one is led to question if she did not, in fact, really view Him as just that—an angel! And if so, what of His deity and bodily resurrection?

March 16, 2006 issue of Adventist Review, Executive Publisher/Editor William G. Johnson wrote an article appearing on page 5 entitled "So Many Versions" in which he discusses "Which is the best Bible Translation? " Point 3 of his answer states: "The most popular paraphrases are The Message, The Clear Word, and The Living Bible. They succeed in making the Bible come alive to modern men and women. . The Clear Word is an 'Adventist' paraphrase, incorporating insights from Ellen White. "

Jehovah's Witnesses The Jehovah's Witnesses maintain that Jesus was Michael the archangel prior to his coming to earth. They assert: "Scriptural evidence indicates that the name Michael applied to God's Son before he left heaven to become Jesus Christ and also after his return" (Aid to Bible Understanding, Watchtower Bible & Tract Society, 1971, 1152). "The foremost angel, both in power and authority, is the archangel, Jesus Christ, also called Michael. " -The Watchtower, November 1, 1995, p. 8

Jude 1: 9 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.
