2. Why Survival Was Never the Ultimate Goal - Parminder Biant (20 October 2026) ICM

For those online, we're about to begin. Let's open with a word of prayer.

Holy God, we thank you that we're able to be here only at this convocation to be here present in this time of Earth's history

so that we can see the manifestation of your glory as you work with and in this movement

and you interact with the world and what's going on on this planet. Help us individually and collectively have a clearer understanding of your will. In Jesus' name, amen. >> [clears throat]

>> Just a little what we discussed yesterday. >> [clears throat] >> I've spent a couple of classes talking about an interaction or a discussion I'm having with a member.

And however nicely they are saying it, they are if you want to say it nicely, they're suggesting. If you want to say it more bluntly, they're accusing.

What I and others are teaching is blatant spiritualism. And the reason it's spiritualism is because it's not in agreement with a plain reading of scripture.

And you can include Ellen White's writings in that uh in that thought.
