An Official Statement regarding Daniel Mesa and Secrets Unsealed:
As inquiries have been coming into our office about the relationship of Daniel Mesa with Secrets Unsealed, we feel that a word of clarification is in order.
The marketing department of Secrets Unsealed hired Daniel Mesa on May 27, 2014, however, on December 6, 2016, the ministry terminated Daniel’s employment for a variety of reasons.
We would like to make it clear that neither Pastor Bohr nor anyone else at Secrets Unsealed shares Daniel’s theological views of the Godhead, particularly his understanding of the personhood and nature of the Holy Spirit, which we believe are at odds with Scripture, and the Spirit of Prophecy. Matthew 28:18-20 and 2 Corinthians 13:14 (among many other verses) indisputably teach that there are three distinct persons in the Godhead each in unity with the other and that all three are God in the highest sense. Ellen White is likewise clear:
“There are three living persons of the heavenly trio. In the name of these three powers, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, those who receive Christ by living faith are baptized, and these powers will cooperate with the obedient subjects of heaven in their efforts to live the new life in Christ.” Bible Training School, March 1, 1906
Although we can see the work and fruit of the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Prophecy has warned us not to delve into forbidden paths such as trying to explain the Holy Spirit’s nature—what or who He is:
“The nature of the Holy Spirit is a mystery. Men cannot explain it, because the Lord has not revealed it to them. Men having fanciful views may bring together passages of Scripture and put a human construction on them, but the acceptance of these views will not strengthen the church. Regarding such mysteries, which are too deep for human understanding, silence is golden.” Acts of the Apostles, p. 52
Secrets Unsealed likewise teaches that Jesus is the Divine Son of God, co-substantial with the Father and sharing His nature. Our position is that Jesus is God in the highest sense, a person distinct from the Father yet equal with Him, in unity with Him, and sharing with Him all the divine attributes. We do not believe that Jesus was created at any point in eternity past for in Him is life ‘original, unborrowed, underived.’

Yes Pastor Bohr is a good evangelist and knows his bible well. Sadly some think they know better and push their ideas on others.

We are counseled in the Bible not to listen to the scholars of the Remnant church for they have been corrupted by the world. This you can read in Isa 56, Mal 1 and 2, Mica 3, and many other places.
We are also told to test the Spirit which is behind the teachers. Do they claim that JESUS is the Only Begotten SON of GOD? No, they claim the Trinity and speak of Coequal Coeternal and so on. The leaders of the BRI claim that it is all a Metaphor, they have made GOD into a metaphor, how then can we know whom we are to believe in? John 17.3. Knowledge of the Only True GOD, the FATHER and of His SON JESUS CHRIST is paramount to building a relationship. We cannot come to know someone we do not believe exists.
When Angel Rodrigues said that the SON of GOD is a methapor, he also implied that GOD the FATHER was a Metaphor and the Holy Spirit as a Metaphor. Thus the confusion is at its peak. What is it a Metaphor of? Can anyone share the Truth about GOD? Are we not to preach the 1st Angels Message? Fear GOD? Yet which GOD are we to fear? <3
As for your comment my brother, much learning can make people blind with pride. When we elevate people we reduce CHRIST. JESUS can teach someone more in an instant than years and years and years of learning in the universities of humanity.
None of the scholars believe that there is something happening with the Seventh-day Adventist church, yet the Bible is filled with examples and clear warnings. Who are we to follow? People, who shout "The Temple of the LORD, the Temple of the LORD, the Temple of the LORD?" Peace and Security or are we to sound the Warning in Love and warn people to get out of the confusion and learn to stand before a Holy GOD without a Mediator? <3
You know my brother, we have all misunderstood what is going to happen, and that is why JESUS will punish all of us for our mistakes, by casting His remnant church into Tribulation and a Great Darkness, so that He can prepare a people to stand with Him on the Mountain. Eze 11, Joel 2.

On this point I would respectfully disagree.
[a]Helper (Comforter, Advocate, Intercessor—Counselor, Strengthener, Standby), the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name [in My place, to represent Me and act on My behalf], He will teach you all things. And He will help you remember everything that I have told you.
Refer to to Scripture as your guide.

Leon your dislike for E G White has blinded you I see no contradiction in the two passages you have quoted here. E G White's writings was not meant to supersede the Bible it was meant as a commentary. If you do not want to read the commentary that is a matter for you. Others may find it inspiring as do I.

Stephen Bohr is a brighter light I think He understands the bible well and He is wise enough to use the Spirit of Prophecy as a wise general. We need more men as faithful as Bohr.

Stephen says 1+1+1=3
Is that being bright?

There is nothing wrong with reading commentary. In this case it does not support scripture so it should not supersede the word.

Leon and how is it not in line with the word? if you would be kind to point that out to me please?

Elijah,
Leon is correct, the statement
The nature of the Holy Spirit is a mystery. Men cannot explain it, because the Lord has not revealed it to them, is not true. This statement is not in line with scriptural teaching. Jesus told his disciples
…it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
To know is to have knowledge of. The secrets of the kingdom of heaven have been revealed to Christ disciples. The nature of the Holy Spirit is encompassed within the secrets of the kingdom of heaven.
To say that God has not revealed it is to call Jesus a liar; wouldn’t you agree?

Mystery is Greek Word mysterion or musterion, which was transliterated from Greek to English which is only bringing in the letters and is not a translation. Musterion means sacred or divine secret. Secrets can be learned or told, but mysteries are unknown. These secrets were hidden in God until revealed to Paul by revelation of Jesus Christ.
Paul's first mention of Musterion is Romans 16:25-Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began, †
But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith:"
This is important. The sacred secrets revealed to Paul is the core of what he taught . When all Asia turned away from Paul, the sacred secrets were lost and forgotten.
Musterion covers I,potent things, 1 body of Christ, salvation, return of Christ. As Paul states in his epistles, there is a fellowship of the sacred secrets, believers are supposed to be obedient to the sacred secrets. Christ in the believer is another important aspect to it as well as let this mind be in you which was in Christ Jesus.
Christianity for the most part is less than designed by God because the sacred secrets are not known and followed and applied as God intended, couch as use of the manifestations.
All 27 uses of Musterion and the context are key principles of utmost importance, including the greatness of Ephesians chapter 3;KJV - Ephesians 3; (note mystery is Musterion; sacred secrets);
"For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,
If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:
How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; † (as I wrote afore in few words,
Whereby, † when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)
Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;
That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:
Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power.
Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;
And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:
To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,
According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:
In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.
Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.
For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,
That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;
That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,
May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly † above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,
Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen."
