BIBLE DOCTRINES COURSE
Davidic-Levitical Institute
Mt. Carmel Center
Waco, Texas
1. The purpose of each class;
a. Freshman classis designed for those who need to gain a foundation of fundamental
Seventh-day Adventist doctrines. For those who need it or may wish to take it as a
refresher course.
b. Intermediate class for those who need to learn the Davidian doctrines and how to
present them.
c. Senior class for those who already know the message, but who need special
Instructions for fieldwork, ect. It is also for those who require help only in organizing and
giving studies and who are assigned to intermediate class for a few weeks to learn this
phase after which they will be transferred to the senior class. For this reason the senior
class will start at a later date than March. 9
2. It is important that each student keep his notebook up to date. The instructor is to check on
this daily when the roll call is taken.
3. Class periods are for students’ recitation and the teacher’s constructive criticism and are not
to be taken up in lecturing to the students; studying is to be done outside of class. Students
are not to be told ahead who is to recite at the next class period.
4. The instructor is to correct the students on the following:
a. Form
b. Continuity
c. Clarity
d. Keeping on the subject
e. Delivery
f. Tact
5. Except as indicated in no. 6, the material in the Davidian publications the
message of the hour-is what is to be studied and used. Various supplementary helps may
be good but are unnecessary. (A list of the Spirit of Prophecy books most quoted is present
Truth Literature is giving in Part 3. If the present truth student becomes volumes he will be well armed.)
6. Following is a list of chapters from the Bible Reading to be covered in the Freshman Class.
The students are to study and be prepared for either oral or written quizzes in class an the
instructor shall choose. In assigning the material listed blow it may not be necessary to take
up every topic or question in the chapters listed, at least not in class, but only as much as will
assure a through understanding of the subject under discussion. Those Seventh-day Adventist
doctrines which have been especially amplified by present truth, and which are therefore
included in the Intermediate class, have been omitted from the Freshman Class. (However,
when such subjects are studied in the Intermediate Class, if a student is not familiar with
Seventh-day Adventist teaching of them, he might profitably study them from Bible readings
in connection with present truth, so that he might know wherein the Davidian message differs
from Seventh-day Adventist teachings as well as to acquire a foundation in fundamental
Seventh-day Adventist doctrines. The Instructor should be prepare to point out to the students
what is erroneous and why.)
Freshman Class
Text: Bible Readings for the Home:
Chapter for the study:
The Bible, Its origin, history, and place in the world
Part I. The bible: how to study and understand it
Part 2. Sin; its origin, results, and remedy
Part 3. The way to Christ
Part 8. The Law of God
Part 9. The Sabbath
Part 11. Life only in Christ
Part 12. Christian Growth and Experience
7. Keep on the Subject.
It is impossible to divorce some present Truth subject from others and therefore there is
much overlapping of material. In studying one particular subject it is often necessary to refer
to another; however, when such is the case, it is important to stick with what the text material
says on the subject being studied. The related doctrines will each be studied in detail in the
turn.
Example:
Subject: Religion
Text Material: Timely Greetings, Vol. 2 #34
(In the studying this article it would be easy to get into a discussion of the
Kingdom but that is not the subject being studied.)

Shows that Christ’s statement that He was to be three days and three
nights in the heart of the earth had both symbolical and literal
meanings (stressing the fact that there are 2 sixth-hour events to be

therefore took longer than one day).

forces at work in this world since its beginning: that Truth will
triumph.
These “reveal as an object lesson to our generation the destruction of
those who, in their own generations, have rejected present Truth.”
To show the true church from Eden lost to Eden restored – to bring out
the truth of her wings.
-19-
To show the one true church of all ages, her trials and final triumph,
and the defeat of her enemy, Satan.
To bring out the truth of the 11th hour call (Matt. 20): that there is an
addition to the Third Angel’s Message and that the work will be
finished by the laymen.

Loud Cry and the time of Trouble, leaving only the 144,000. These are the
nations converted to the truth by the 144,000, but slain to rise later at
Christ’s coming.)

5. Meeting Opposition
Follow Christ’s example. Be used a different procedure
with the common people than H~ did with the Scribes sin
Pharisees.
–28-
a. With the common people He wee over gentle and pa-
tient; He never condemned them, but kindly painted
out the way of salvation.
b. It was another story with the Scribes and rulers;
they were not ignorant of the Saviour’s work and
mission and their questions were for the most part
merely traps. With them Christ was plain and even
cutting at times. Rather than answering their “trap”
questions He first gave them a question to answer.
His ministers are to do likewise.
If you perceive that one is asking you a “trap”
question, before you answer his question, first give
him a question on some point that is irrefutable.
Don’t be discourteous, but neither let them make you
appear foolish.
In dealing with those who are opposed, and especially
the ministers, hold them to one point; don’t let them
jump around. Familiarize yourself with a few pertinent
references and if they can’t see light in one or at the
most two, don’t waste your time with them.
Examples: Jer. 30:1—3 (or one of many other definite
and specific references on the
Kingdom)
Isa. 66:15—21
