Jesus  came  to  "deliver  them  who  through  fear  of  death  were  all  their
                lifetime  subject  to  bondage"  (Hebrews  2:15).    If  you're  afraid  to  die
                because
                you might go to hell for not keeping the commandments sufficiently, you are

                in bondage.

                John  8:36  "If  the  Son  therefore  shall  make  you  free,  ye  shall  be  free
                indeed."

                SDAs need to see the faith-alone verses in Lesson 2.

                                          SUPPOSED SDA PROOFTEXTS


                Matthew 5:17-18 "Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the
                prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I 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."

                The phrase "shall in no wise pass from the law" does not mean "The law

                shall always be IN EFFECT."  It means the law will never be "destroyed," as
                explained in verse 17.  The law will always be preserved.  It will always be
                written down somewhere.  That doesn't mean it will always be binding.  He
                said "fulfil."  The subject is not obeying the law.  The subject is fulfilling the
                prophecies  in  the  law  and  the  prophets;  hence  He  said  "the  law,  or  the
                prophets."

                The next verse is a "catch-22" for SDAs:


                Matthew  5:19  "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."

                The "kingdom of heaven" is not "heaven" (i.e. the third heaven).  But even

                if  it  was,  the  verse  doesn't  say  that  those  who  break  the  commandments
                won't get in.  It says they will be "called the least in" it.  The "kingdom of
