SDA Church – Seeking and Finding New Havens of Error and Deceit

Seventh Day Adventist (SDA) Horrors

We all know the idiom: “Out of the frying pan into the fire” which simply means, If you get out of one problem, but find yourself in a worse situation, you are out of the frying pan, into the fire.

Many Christians who have become disillusioned with the Dutch Reformed Church are abandoning their “mother church” and seeking new havens in other churches. Unfortunately, they have become so captivated by the friendliness, warmth, and congeniality of the members of other churches that they are inadvertently caught up in other and sometimes worse heresies and false doctrines without realizing it. No wonder the Bible warns:

So have I become your enemy by telling you the truth? These men [the Judaizers] eagerly seek you [to entrap you with honeyed words and attention, to win you over to their philosophy], not honorably [for their purpose is not honorable or worthy of consideration]. They want to isolate you [from us who oppose them] so that you will seek them. (Galatians 4:16-17; Amplified Bible).

A Church that is heartily enthused by the confusion in the DRC and other non-Adventist churches, and who is passionately and actively involved in making proselytes, is the Seventh Day Adventist Church. Their leaders are avidly and vigorously pointing out the errors and deception in all the mainline Christian churches because they believe that people ought to leave non-Adventist churches and join the SDA Church in order to be saved and also because Jesus Christ does not intercede for non-Adventists. In May 2002 SDA General Conference President Jan Paulsen delivered a speech to gathered SDA Church leaders in which he made the following remarks:

“ . . . we believe that being Seventh-day Adventists has direct bearing on our salvation; . . . I would risk my whole spiritual life and salvation were I to leave what I am now and join any other community.”

Their revered prophetess Ellen Gould White (November 26, 1827 – July 16, 1915) wrote as follows:

I saw that as the Jews crucified Jesus, so the nominal churches had crucified these messages [of the Investigative Judgment], and therefore they have no knowledge of the way into the most holy, and they cannot be benefited [sic] by the intercession of Jesus there. Like the Jews who offered their useless sacrifices, they offer up their useless prayers to the apartment which Jesus has left; and Satan, pleased with the deception, assumes a religious character, and leads the minds of these professed Christians to himself . . .”

“I saw that God has honest children among the nominal Adventists and the fallen churches, and before the plagues shall be poured out, ministers and people will be called out from these churches and will gladly receive the truth . . . But the light will shine, and all who are honest will leave the fallen churches, and take their stand with the remnant”. (Early Writings, p 261). (The remnant being in the SDA Church of course).“

The doctrine of The Investigative Judgment advocates the belief that Christians’ sins are not yet fully forgiven and that they are still counted as guilty before God until proven worthy of complete forgiveness by their good works. Indeed, Mrs. White taught that a believer’s sins are not yet blotted out or forgiven: they are merely pardoned. She taught that one’s eternal destiny will be ultimately determined by a weighing of a believer’s good works and bad works when their name comes up in the Investigative Judgment.

What is the difference between the soteriology of the SDA Church and Islam? VERY LITTLE!

Allah Says:

Then as for him whose balance (of good deeds) will be heavy, He will live a pleasant life (in Paradise). But as for him whose balance (of good deeds) will be light, He will have his home in Hawiyah (pit, i.e. Hell). And what will make you know what it is? (It is) a hot blazing Fire! [101:6-11].

The Myriam Webster Dictionary defines the word “pardon” as follows:

  • The excusing of an offense without exacting a penalty offered a pardon to the draft evader

  • The release from the legal penalties of an offense.

  • An official warrant of remission of penalty.

  • A royal pardon later released him from a death sentence — American Guide Series: Maryland.

  • Excuse or forgiveness for a fault, offense, or discourtesy “I beg your pardon .” “She asked my pardon for taking up so much of my time.

Apart from her disastrous and deceptive errors, Ellen seems to have had some problems with the English language as well.

“The work of the investigative judgment and the blotting out of sin is to be accomplished before the second advent of our Lord” (The Bible’s Answers to the Sabbath Question, p. 44).

“Sins that have not been repented of and forsaken will not be pardoned and blotted out of the books of record, but will stand to witness against the sinner in the day of God”. (The Great Controversy, p. 261).

As you may see, this is a gross rejection of Christ’s finished work on the cross. It not only vilifies Christ’s “TETELESTAI” but also grossly makes God the Father a liar. To equate God the Father with the father of all lies is blasphemy (John 8:44).

Paul wrote with great conviction and certainty:

And you who were dead in trespasses and in the uncircumcision of your flesh (your sensuality, your sinful carnal nature), [God] brought to life together with [Christ], having [freely] forgiven us all our transgressions, Having cancelled and blotted out and wiped away the handwriting of the note (bond) with its legal decrees and demands which was in force and stood against us (hostile to us). This [note with its regulations, decrees, and demands] He set aside and cleared completely out of our way by nailing it to [His] cross. (Colossians 2:13-14).

Even those sins you and I have not as yet committed are all atoned for completely. Does that mean that we have a lease on sin and that we should keep on sinning? No! absolutely not, but if we audaciously believe that we can no longer sin we do not have the truth as an abiding reality in us  (1 John 1:8). And yet, strange as it may seem, the Seventh Day Adventists believe that you can be sinless.

Those only who through faith in Christ obey all of God’s commandments will reach the condition of sinlessness in which Adam Iived before his transgression” (Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary, vol. 6, p. 1118).

“In order to let Jesus into our hearts, we must stop sinning” (The Bible’s Answers to the Sabbath Question, p. 44).

“To be redeemed means to cease from sin” (Curtis Shearer: The Seven Thunders, p. 43).

Who is the liar? — Jesus Christ, who inspired Paul of Tarsus to write “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus” (Romans 8:33-39) or the false prophetess, Ellen G. White? If Christians were to be convicted, judged and sentenced for every unrepentant sin, who is going to stand guiltless before God? David cried out:

If You, Lord, should keep account of and treat [us according to our] sins, O Lord, who could stand? (Psalm 130:3).

How could Ellen G. White and all the subsequent leadership members of the SDA Church ever have known whether they had confessed and repented of every sin in thought, word, and action? How can today’s leaders and members of the SDA Church ever know whether they have confessed and repented of every single sin in thought, word, and action?

Yes! of course it is possible to repent of your sins in bulk such as the publican who merely cried out: “Oh God be merciful to me a sinner” and was declared righteous by God, but it is quite impossible to remember every single sin you had done in thought, word, and action in your entire lifespan here on earth. A belief such as this can only lead to a doctrine of uncertainty with regard to one’s salvation and indeed, it is exactly what the SDA Church teaches.

In Christ’s Object Lessons, p. 155, (1900 edition), Mrs. White states,

“Those who accept Christ, and in their first confidence say, I am saved, are in danger of trusting to themselves . . . Those who accept the Savior, however sincere their conversion; should never be taught to say or feel that they are saved. This is misleading“.

“No sanctified tongue will be found uttering these words [‘I am saved’] till Christ shall come, and we enter in through the gates into the city of God . . . As long as man is full of weakness; for of himself he cannot save his soul; he should never dare to say, ‘I am saved”. (Ellen G. White Review and Herald Record – Book II & IV).

What does God’s Word say?

If we accept [as we do] the testimony of men [if we are willing to take human authority], the testimony of God is greater (of stronger authority), for this is the testimony of God, even the witness which He has borne regarding His Son. He who believes in the Son of God [who adheres to, trusts in, and relies on Him] has the testimony possesses this divine attestation] within himself. He who does not believe God [in this way] has made Him out to be and represented Him as a liar, because he has not believed (put his faith in, adhered to, and relied on) the evidence (the testimony) that God has borne regarding His Son. And this is that testimony (that evidence): God gave us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who possesses the Son has that life; he who does not possess the Son of God does not have that life. I write this to you who believe in (adhere to, trust in, and rely on) the name of the Son of God [in the peculiar services and blessings conferred by Him on men], so that you may know [with settled and absolute knowledge] that you [already] have life, yes, eternal life (1 John 5:9-13).

Once again, who is the liar here? — Almighty God who cannot lie or the greatly revered prophetess of the SDA Church, Ellen G. White?

Perhaps you’ve noticed how utterly confusing the SDA Church doctrines are. The God of the Bible is not a God of confusion; the god of this world is indeed the god of confusion. They assert that no one can know for a certainty that they are saved until Christ returns and yet they confirm that you can be sinless. In the same breath, they also say that the sins of a Christian are not yet forgiven and that they are still on record before God. Does being allegedly sinless make you a perfect candidate for heaven? How on earth can you trust a church that changes faith into a kind of ping-pong game in which the rules are changed with the drop of a hat? The confusion does not end here. There are more and even worse heresies in the SDA Church. Perhaps you would care to ponder the following grossly unbiblical doctrines of the SDA Church.

The sacrificial death of Jesus Christ on the cross was not the final atonement

The SDA Church and its proponents () are forever damning the RCC for her stance on their works based soteriology while they themselves are guilty of the very same sin.

Here’s what the SDA members believe:

“Now while our great High Priest is making the atonement for us, we should seek to become perfect in Christ.” (The Great Controversy, p 622.)

“. . . Instead of coming to the earth at the termination of the 2300 days in 1844, Christ then entered the most holy place of the heavenly sanctuary to perform the closing work of atonement preparatory to His coming”. (The Great Controversy, p. 422).

“Instead of the prophecy of Daniel 8:14 referring to the purifying of the earth, it was now plain that it pointed to the closing work of our High Priest in heaven, the finishing of the atonement . . . (Christian Experience and Teachings of Ellen G. White, p. 56).

As you may have seen this particular doctrine is linked to the year 1844. It concerns a false prophecy by the Millerite Adventist, William Miller, who predicted that Jesus Christ’s Second Coming would occur on October 22, 1844. When that never happened, Hiram Edison amongst others, deftly changed the prophecy by claiming that Daniel 8:14 did not refer to Christ’s Second Coming but His entry into the Holy of Holies of the heavenly sanctuary. This convenient new interpretation was adopted by Ellen G. White who later said:

“The scripture which above all others had been both the foundation and the central pillar of the advent faith, was the declaration, ‘Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.’” (quoting Daniel 8:14) (Ellen White, The Great Controversy, p409, 1888). See also her later statement, “The correct understanding of the ministration in the heavenly sanctuary is the foundation of our faith.”  (White, Evangelism, p. 221).

One of the core doctrines of the SDA Church, known as the central pillar of the Advent faith, is therefore based on a false prophecy that was cleverly changed to cover up the so-called Great Disappointment. This was not the only false prophecy made in the ranks of the SDA Church. Ellen G. White made several more false prophecies among others that many Adventists living in 1856 would see the Second Advent of Jesus Christ.

Over 135 years ago, Mrs. White made another fascinating prophecy during a meeting in Battle Creek, Michigan in May of 1856. She declared that some of those who were in that meeting would die, and become “food for worms,” and that some of them would live on and become “subjects of the seven last plagues,” while still others would “remain upon the earth to be translated at the coming of Jesus”. (Testimonies for the Church, vol. 1, p. 131-132).

What does the Bible say about false prophets?

But the prophet who presumes to speak a word in My name which I have not commanded him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other gods, that same prophet shall die. And if you say in your [minds and] hearts, How shall we know which words the Lord has not spoken? When a prophet speaks in the name of the Lord, if the word does not come to pass or prove true, that is a word which the Lord has not spoken. The prophet has spoken it presumptuously; you shall not be afraid of him. (Deuteronomy 18:20-22).

When God inspires a prophet to foretell the future it will come to pass one hundred percent. If it does not come to pass it proves without a shadow of a doubt that the so-called prophet speaks presumptuously and is, therefore, a false prophet. God has NOT spoken through that prophet and you are not supposed to listen to him or her. However, if you prefer to follow lies, God is not going to prevent you from doing so. In fact, He allows false prophets in our midst to test us whether we truly love Him.

IF A prophet arises among you, or a dreamer of dreams, and gives you a sign or a wonder, And the sign or the wonder he foretells to you comes to pass, and if he says, Let us go after other gods–gods you have not known–and let us serve them, You shall not listen to the words of that prophet or to that dreamer of dreams. For the Lord your God is testing you to know whether you love the Lord your God with all your [mind and] heart and with your entire being. (Deuteronomy 13:1-3).

It follows that if you do listen to false prophets, you do not love God and are probably not saved. How dare I say such a thing? Well Jesus said,

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers. (John 10:1-5; ).

Satan is our sin bearer

“It was seen, also, that while the sin offering pointed to Christ as a sacrifice, and the high priest represented Christ as a mediator, the scapegoat typified Satan, the author of sin, upon whom the sins of the truly penitent will finally be placed”. (The Great Controversy, p. 422).

As the priest, in removing the sins from the sanctuary, confessed them upon the head of the scapegoat, so Christ will place all these sins upon Satan, the originator and instigator of sin”. (The Great Controversy, p. 485.)

“Their sins are transferred to the originator of sin.” (Counsels for the Church, p. 353)

What does the Bible say?

He personally bore our sins in His [own] body on the tree [as on an altar and offered Himself on it], that we might die (cease to exist) to sin and live to righteousness. By His wounds you have been healed. (1 Peter 2:24).

The next day John saw Jesus coming to him and said, Look! There is the Lamb of God, Who takes away the sin of the world! (1 John 1:29)

This SDA Church doctrine demotes Christ Jesus and exalts Satan.

The sins of a repentant sinner are not forgiven. God still holds them on record against him/her

“All who have truly repented of sin, and by faith claimed the blood of Christ as their atoning sacrifice, have had pardon entered against their names in the books of heaven; as they have become partakers of the righteousness of Christ, and their characters are found to be in harmony with the law of God, their sins will be blotted out, and they themselves will be accounted worthy of eternal Iife”. (The Great Controversy, p. 483).

Mrs. White states that no sin was ever blotted out before October 22, 1844. “At the time appointed for the judgment – the close of the 2300 days in 1844 – began the work of investigation and blotting out of sins”. (Christ In His Sanctuary, p. 122)

“The work of the investigative judgment and the blotting out of sins is to be accomplished before the second advent of the Lord . . . it is impossible that the sins of men should be blotted out until after the judgment at which their cases are to be investigated . . . When the investigative judgment closes, Christ will come . . .” (The Great Controversy, p. 485).

“When the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord, then the sins of the repentant soul who has received the grace of Christ and has overcome through the blood of the Lamb, will be removed from the records of heaven, and will be placed upon Satan, the scapegoat, the originator of sin, and be remembered no more against him forever”. (Selected Messages, bk. 3, pp. 355-356).

The SDA Church is doing the very same thing of which the Roman Catholic Church, whom they so vociferously criticize, is guilty and that is to deny the complete efficacy of Jesus Christ substitutionary death on the cross.

What does the Bible teach?

When Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, It is finished! And He bowed His head and gave up His spirit. (John 19:30).

If we [freely] admit that we have sinned and confess our sins, He is faithful and just (true to His own nature and promises) and will forgive our sins [dismiss our lawlessness] and [continuously] cleanse us from all unrighteousness [everything not in conformity to His will in purpose, thought, and action]. (1 John 1:9).

I am writing to you, little children, because for His name’s sake your sins are forgiven [pardoned through His name and on account of confessing His name]. (1 John 2:12).

He is the sole expression of the glory of God [the Light-being, the out-raying or radiance of the divine], and He is the perfect imprint and very image of [God’s] nature, upholding and maintaining and guiding and propelling the universe by His mighty word of power. When He had by offering Himself accomplished our cleansing of sins and riddance of guilt, He sat down at the right hand of the divine Majesty on high, (Hebews 1:3).

For then would He often have had to suffer [over and over again] since the foundation of the world. But as it now is, He has once for all at the consummation and close of the ages appeared to put away and abolish sin by His sacrifice [of Himself]. (Hebrews 9:26).

I have blotted out like a thick cloud your transgressions, and like a cloud your sins. Return to Me, for I have redeemed you. (Isaiah 44″22).

Some Christians will have to stand before God without Christ’s mediation

”Those who are living upon the earth when the intercession of Christ shall cease in the sanctuary above are to stand in the sight of a holy God without a mediator.” (The Great Controversy, p. 425).

“When Jesus ceases to plead for man, the cases of all are forever decided. This is the time of reckoning with His servants.” (Testimonies for the Church, vol. 2, p. 191).

If Jesus has accomplished an everlasting redemption for whomsoever believes in His vicarious death on the cross, which of course He has, then every single repentant sinner will stand before God “IN Christ,” washed in His precious blood, holy and blameless. They can and will never stand before God outside of Jesus Christ.

God offered Satan his pardon in heaven

“God in His great mercy bore long with Lucifer. He was not immediately degraded from his exalted station when he first indulged the spirit of discontent, nor even when he began to present his false claims before the loyal angels. Long was he retained in heaven. Again and again he was offered pardon on condition of repentance and submission.” (The Great Controversy, p. 495-496).

Angels would have died for man

An angel told Mrs. White that “Angels were so interested for man’s salvation that there could be found among them those who would yield their glory and give their Iife for perishing man.” (Early Writings, p. 127).

This doctrine demotes Jesus Christ to the level of just another created being, apart from some of the angels, who was willing to offer up his life as a ransom for many. In fact, the SDA Church actually believes that Jesus Christ is just another angel— (Michael the Archangel). Adventists are very firm in their belief that Jesus is Michael the Archangel.  They must take this position because this is what their prophetess, Ellen G. White taught. They also believe that Jesus is God.  There is a glaring contradiction here.  Hebrews 1:13-14 says that Jesus is not an angel.

The Holy Spirit can abandon/leave a Christian

“O my brethren, will you grieve the Holy Spirit, and cause it to depart?” (Selected Messages, bk. 1, p. 126).

If it were true that the Holy Spirit leaves a Christian when he/she grieves Him, it would mean that a saint can lose his/her salvation.

What does the Word of God say?

And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, and Standby), that He may remain with you forever—The Spirit of Truth, Whom the world cannot receive (welcome, take to its heart), because it does not see Him or know and recognize Him. But you know and recognize Him, for He lives with you [constantly] and will be in you. (John 14:16-17).

And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand. I and my Father are one. (John 10:28-30).

There is no hell

Seventh-day Adventists, like Jehovah’s Witnesses, teach that when a believer dies his soul “sleeps.” Some believe that you entirely cease to exist.

A general statement of the Seventh-day Adventist doctrine of death is as follows:

“So when a man dies he does not live somewhere else. He is not in heaven, not in hell, not in purgatory. He is not alive at all, anywhere, in any condition whatsoever. He is dead. And to be dead does not mean to be alive. To be dead does not mean to go to heaven; it does not mean to go to hell; it does not mean to go to purgatory. Indeed, it does not mean to go anywhere at all. It means simply an end of life . . . Death is cessation of life, an absence of life, the exact opposite of life. So in death there is no life. The man does not live; the body does not live; the soul does not live; the spirit does not live; the mind does not live. Intelligence ends, consciousness ends, memory ends, knowledge ends, thought ends. All that has comprised the man ends” (C.B. Haynes When A Man Dies, p. 20).

Is this man still alive? If not, then his eyes have been opened to see what lies he believed.

Ellen G. White, the alleged prophetess who founded the SDA denomination, stated her revulsion of the doctrine of Hell:

“How repugnant to every emotion of love and mercy, and even to our sense of justice, is the doctrine that the wicked dead are tormented with fire and brimstone in an eternally burning hell. . . . And how utterly revolting is the belief that as soon as the breath leaves the body the soul of the impenitent is consigned to the flames of hell! . . . the doctrine of natural immortality first borrowed from pagan philosophy, and in the darkness of the great apostasy incorporated into the Christian faith, has supplanted the truth. . . . The theory of eternal torment is one of the false doctrines that constitute the wine of the abomination of Babylon. . . . But those who have not, through repentance and faith, secured pardon, must receive the penalty of transgression  . . . covered with infamy, they sink into hopeless, eternal oblivion. . . . There will then be no lost souls to blaspheme God as they writhe in never-ending torment; no wretched beings in hell will mingle their shrieks with the songs of the saved.” (The Great Controversy,” pp. 469, 470, 477, 478, 483)

Only those who keep the Sabbath (Seventh Day, Saturday) will be saved

“The change of the Sabbath is the sign or mark of the authority of the Romish church.” … “The keeping of the counterfeit Sabbath is the reception of the mark.” (Ellen G. White, Evangelism, p. 234).

“Here we find the mark of the beast. The very act of changing the Sabbath into Sunday, on the part of the Catholic church, without any authority from the Bible.” (Ellen G. White, The Mark of the Beast, page 23).

Why don’t Adventists clearly identify themselves when they have “Prophecy Seminars” or health classes?

Jesus once said: “I have spoken openly to the world. I have always taught in a synagogue and in the temple [area], where the Jews [habitually] congregate (assemble); and I have spoken nothing secretly.” Individuals or organizations that operate in secrecy cannot be trusted. When Adventists hold their meetings, aimed primarily at taking members from other churches, they generally do not identify who they are and deftly operate in secrecy. The following is a list of a few Adventist organizations or organizations with very similar beliefs:

  • “It Is Written” television programs and seminars
  • “The Voice of Prophecy” radio programs and seminars
  • “The 5-day Plan to Stop Smoking”
  • “Revelation Seminars”
  • 3ABN TV Network
  • Many “Health Seminars” or “Vegetarian Cooking” classes held at Adventist schools or local churches
  • Adventist hospitals, health centers, clinics, and nursing homes
  • SDA parochial day schools, boarding schools, high schools- also called “Academies” and colleges and universities
  • Loma Linda University is their flagship medical center and world-class medical school
  • Andrew’s University is their seminary in North America
  • “Amazing Facts” radio broadcasts and literature
  • “Amazing Facts” crusades
  • “Light Bearers”

Adventist Publishers:

  • Review & Herald Publishing
  • Pacific Press Publishing
  • Southern Publishing

Seventh-day Adventist magazines often used as Adventist proselytizing tools:

  • Adventist Review
  • Listen
  • Liberty
  • The Signs of the Times

The SDA “Ministry Magazine, is sent out regularly to thousands of Christian pastors and church leaders of other churches despite the fact that they are called “Sunday worshipers” and bearers of the mark of the beast. Don’t be misled by its is slick and evangelical looks, because it contains many useful articles. What your pastor probably doesn’t know is that between every issue he receives is an issue intended only for Adventist pastors. There they debate issues such as how to interpret Ellen G. White, her role and function in the church, the Sabbath, the Investigative Judgment and other Adventist “distinctions” or fundamental Seventh-day Adventist doctrines.

It’s safe to say that the goal of everything the Seventh-day Adventist church does is to advance Adventism around the world and to attempt to make you or your family Seventh-day Adventists. As I’ve already pointed out in the beginning of this comment, there are many disillusioned former DRC members who have abandoned their church and are deceptively and cunningly being recruited to join the Seventh Day Adventist Church. Decide for yourself whether you have jumped out of the frying pan into the fire. I’m pretty sure you know what I mean.

    That is a pretty big line up of heresy!
    SDA is a heretical cult.

    Thanks for covering their beliefs on “soul sleep” too… I have an in-law relative who spent her entire life as a SDA, being raised in it from birth (her father was a SDA missionary), and indeed they DO believe in soul sleep.

    Where you quoted Ellen G. White as saying:

    “How repugnant to every emotion of love and mercy, and even to our sense of justice, is the doctrine that the wicked dead are tormented with fire and brimstone in an eternally burning hell. . . . And how utterly revolting is the belief that as soon as the breath leaves the body the soul of the impenitent is consigned to the flames of hell! . . . the doctrine of natural immortality first borrowed from pagan philosophy, and in the darkness of the great apostasy incorporated into the Christian faith, has supplanted the truth.

    Oh man, man, man!!!! Well none of us LIKE the idea of an eternal hell either… and for some, that may be the very reason they’ll choose heaven, wake up & realize they’re going to only get there by GOD’S WAY!! {JESUS!!} But just cuz we don’t like it makes it none less real!!

    As far as borrowed from “pagan philosophy”?!! No Ma’am — STRAIGHT FROM THE BIBLE!!

    Revelation 14:11 The smoke of their torment will rise forever and ever, and they will have no relief day or night,…

    There are certainly other Scripture locations describing hell and/or Lake of Fire…so it’s more than an idea, it’s the TRUTH, and yes, it IS revolting… we should not wish it on our worst enemies… It is not God’s will that ANY should perish, and yet most will because they live life on the broad road. They (generally speaking of Americans, but perhaps for the world over..) may add “a little of God” IN to their already overly-busy, overwhelmed lives, but are unwilling to completely submit to Him.

    And sigh, yes sadly — they do believe in working themselves to the bone, “earning” salvation?? Yet you’re right re: their friendliness & warmth & genuine care for others! [I wonder why they’d try so hard to win others — when they don’t even believe there’s a hell?? Just personal observation.]

    Different subject though: What about Psalm 51 where David prayed the Holy Spirit would not be taken from him.

  3. Hi RJ :hi:

    You said “But just cuz we don’t like it makes it none less real!!”

    That’s exactly what I thought. So she is telling God how He must handle sinners. Our ways are not God’s ways and God’s ways are certainly not our ways.

    Years ago my mother saw a SDA program on TBN (imagine that) where a SDA preacher had a candle in front of him, he blew out the flame and then implied there is no hell.

  4. Lori C says:

    this is in response to your article about Ellen White. First off, this article covers a lot of different topics which I cannot possibly cover it all here but let me say that many things stated in this article are not facts and words are taken out of context. I would suggest that anyone wanting to really understand SDA’s beliefs to go to the Adventist website to study their fundamental beliefs and to check everything with your Bible. I believe SDA’s prefer the KJV as it is closest to the original Bible. You are misunderstanding many concepts here and misrepresenting them too-we certainly don’t demote Christ Jesus and exalt Satan-as you say, that’s just ridiculous.

    The investigative judgement is an interesting study. We believe our sins are fully forgiven according to I John 1:9 and Jesus is ministering for all believers in the Most Holy Place in the heavenly sanctuary as stated in Hebrews 8 and 9. The Bible teaches that we are judged according to our works-but we are not saved by them-only judged by them. We are saved by Jesus’ sacrifice, by God’s grace.

    About Jesus being Michael the Archangel-many other churches believe this also. Daniel 12:1 intimates that Michael is our great prince who watches over his people as Jesus does.

    “There is no hell” concept is better understood if you understand the term for “hell” is often translated “grave” in the Bible and many times Jesus spoke of the dead as sleeping until the last day, at the resurrection-John 11:23-26. There is the Lake of Fire which was prepared for the devil and his angels and all the ones not found in the Book of Life-Rev. 20:10-15; Matt. 25:40-46. The fire does go out but the results are everlasting-see Malachi 4:1-3; Psalm 37:10,20; Is. 5:24. Jude vs. 7 tells us the Sodom and Gomorrah serve as examples of those suffering the eternal fire-Are they still burning now? No, but the results are eternal. And another example of “forever” being used which doesn’t mean forever is in Jonah 2:6.

    The Bible does not contradict itself-where it seems like it may contradict then more study is needed to clearly understand it. Only with an open mind, prayerfully searching the Scriptures with the Holy Spirit’s guidance can one find truth.

    The article mentions that only those who keep the Sabbath will be saved-that is not true. There are many people that will be in heaven from all walks of life and different denominations. There will be a final test in the end times as stated in Revelation 13 where you either go along with the mark of the beast or you stand for the truth of keeping God’s Commandments and the faith of Jesus, Rev. 12:17; Rev. 13; Rev. 14:9-12.

    The article asks why don’t SDA’s clearly identify themselves in prophecy seminars? Maybe its because of websites like this that give SDA’s such a bad name. The literature does have the SDA’s name on it but it may not be on the front page. The problem is many people have preconceived ideas about SDA’s and so they may not listen to the truth. You must be willing to search for truth and test everything with the Bible. Jesus and His disciples were said to be working with the Devil by the religious groups of His day, Matt. 12:24, and Jesus warned that His followers would be persecuted for following Jesus’ teachings-Matt. 5:10-12, so I understand the attack on the SDA church. If it was like the world, the world would love it.

    But maybe you can look at the big picture:

    There was war in heaven and Lucifer deceived a third of the holy angels in heaven and they were cast down to earth-Rev. 12:4, 7-9. How much more will Satan be able to deceive mankind? In fact, he has deceived the whole world-Rev. 12:9. He has set up a counterfeit worship system that claims to be holy even though its okay to disregard the Law of God. Satan persecuted the early church with bloodshed but the church continued to grow. So his next tactic was compromise-He got the church to change the sabbath to Sunday through Constantine, the first Roman Emperor. He became a “christian” and tried to force the pagan worshipers of the sun god to become christian. They worshiped on the first day of the week which was more popular as many sabbath-keepers were being persecuted. This is how the change was made and you can study more at [url removed], Daniel 7:25. But the most important thing is, do you have Jesus? If so, then you can ask yourself-do you follow man-made rules or do you follow God’s Law? Revelation 13 & 14 is about false worship vs. true worship. Either you will be like Abel or Cain, obedient or disobedient. Jesus said we must worship in spirit and in truth-John 4:23,24-so doctrine does matter, Prov. 4:2; John 7:16. So closely the counterfeit resembles the truth that is will be impossible to distinguish between them except by the Holy Scriptures. Isaiah 8:20; John 18:37. If you do not have a love for the truth-you will believe the lie-2 Thess. 2:3-12. The Christian’s only safety is in the Word of God and not in the traditions of men. See also Matthew 7:13-29-Jesus says only a few people find the narrow way! And the false prophets are known by their fruits-which is lawlessness! There will be Christians doing many works but Jesus will say to them-I never knew you, depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness.

    One more point, the article said that you can lose your salvation. You can lose it if you choose to walk away from God. God will never leave us but we can choose to grieve the Holy Spirit by not following His guidance-see Matthew 12:31,32; Ezekiel 18:19-32; Rev. 3:5. I hope that you will look up these Bible verses and prayerfully study for more truth, Proverbs 4:18.

    It was the Baptist church that I first heard that about Jesus also being the ArchAngel. Jesus Christ is the Son of God-absolutely-the Prince of Peace, the Everlasting Father…Isaiah 9:6. Here’s a thought: if God came to earth to represent Himself to man in the form of Jesus, why couldn’t He also be in the form of an angel to “work with the angels”–this is just my own thoughts-not any SDA’s-but we don’t know everything now, only what God has revealed to us through His Word.

  8. Lori C

    You said “It was the Baptist church that I first heard”

    Nope that is not true, it’s Jehovah’s Witnesses who believe this not Baptists.

    You said “Here’s a thought” and “this is just my own thoughts”

    You are right, these are just your thoughts, your opinions, Just like Satan has added his thoughts and opinions to the bible to change it’s meaning. Your thoughts are not what the Bible teaches.

    Although Michael does some of the things that are also part of the ministry of Christ, this does not mean they are one and the same. Michael stands up for Israel (Daniel 12:1). You cannot prove that two people are the same because they are involved in some of the same things. Michael and his angels fight against the dragon (devil) and his angels (Revelation 12:7). Angels do the bidding of God.

    If Jesus Christ is Michael the Archangel that means Michael the archangel is part of the 3rd person of the Trinity. You are saying that Michael is in fact God.

    Everything that is in the Bible is there for us to understand and the Holy Spirit leads us into ALL truth, not partial truths. Your mishandling of scripture by taking verses totally out of context is alarming.

    As Tom said, “If your heresies make you happy, please feel free to follow them all to the hilt”.

  9. Lori C says:

    I’ve never been in a Jehovah Witnesses’ church and I do remember the Jesus/Michael concept being introduced by a speaker in the Baptist church many years ago. I’m not trying to prove anything about Jesus being Michael-just the fact that we don’t know everything about deep spiritual matters. This topic really isn’t relevant for debating as it’s not a salvation issue-I only mentioned it because your article addressed it.

    And I’m not mishandling scripture or taking it out of context.

    Not all angels do the bidding of God. There are fallen angels aka demons that we must fight spiritually every day in the power of the Holy Spirit. (Revelation 12:7-9; Jude 6; 2 Cor. 11:14; Ephesians 6:11-18).

    What makes me happy is walking humbly with my Lord in obedience to His Law that is written on my heart by His Holy Spirit.
    (Micah 6:8; Hebrews 10:16; John 14:15,16,21; Acts 5:32)

    Yes, it brings great joy and peace (Psalm 119:165) and I was only trying to share that with anyone interested. May God bless those who continue to search for truth in the Bible with much prayer and an open mind and a humble spirit to accept truths as they are presented, (Matthew 13:12; Matthew 18:3;
    Matthew 28:18-20).

  10. Lori C

    Michael is a created being. Anyone who believes that Jesus Christ and Michael the Archangel are one and the same person, believes that Jesus was created at some time in the distant past and hence was not eternally with the Father and the Holy Spirit, and therefore not part of the Trinity.

    You are free to share with whomsoever you wish but please share the truth with them and not lies (John 8:44) because you will be judged for leading others astray. If you had been walking humbly in obedience to the Lord, you would not have believed the lies that you do. You are heavily deceived and I suggest that you repent and start believing the Truth.

  11. Dear Lori C

    You said “What makes me happy is walking humbly with my Lord in obedience to His Law that is written on my heart by His Holy Spirit.”

    Well it’s clear you certainly have that 1 law of “keeping the Sabbath” bedded down, but as for the rest of the gospel when God says “keep my commandments” like believing that Jesus Christ is the Son of God therefore God, you are quite happy to deny the divinity of Jesus Christ, hence deny Jesus Christ with your opinions, which are the same opinions of the SDA church and it’s prophetess. Carry on with your beliefs…we will warn you, but we can’t stop you – that is totally your decision.

    I have once left my church at the salvation army and joined the SDA. CHRIST revealed to me that it is false. They dont eat certain foods and put emphasis on days and abstaining from certain things. They teach that the sinner will not burn for ever and ever in hell but because GOD is merciful they will only be burnt once and thats it, but thats not true, GOD showed me hell and I know that those who get sent there will keep on burning. Its torment. Ellen G white writes detailed stories about the bible and heaven and what happened, but in soo much detail, the bible doesnt even go into that detail so where does she get this from. The truth is mixed with lies hence to fool, even the elect if it was possible. Be alert Brothers and sisters in CHRIST

    They forbid people to marry and order them to abstain from certain foods, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and who know the truth.1 Timothy 4:3

    Mark 7:14-23: “Again Jesus called the crowd to him and said, ‘Listen to me, everyone, and understand this. Nothing outside a man can make him unclean by going into him. Rather, it is what comes out of a man that makes him unclean.’ After he had left the crowd and entered the house, his disciples asked him about this parable. ‘Are you so dull?’ he asked. ‘Don’t you see that nothing that enters a man from the outside can make him `unclean’? For it doesn’t go into his heart but into his stomach, and then out of his body.’(In saying this, Jesus declared all foods “clean.”) He went on: ‘What comes out of a man is what makes him `unclean.’ For from within, out of men’s hearts, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly. All these evils come from inside and make a man `unclean.’”

    What goes into someone’s mouth does not defile them, but what comes out of their mouth, that is what defiles them.”Matthew 15:11

  14. Dear Elton, Thank you for your comment. It echoes Jesus’ words in John 10.

    And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers. (John 10:4-5)

    1. I believe that speaking in tongues is real for those who GOD has chosen, there is also fake tongues. Utters in moans and groans which words can not express….(tongues is not words)
    2. I dont need to study other religions, I just need to know the bible, if I know the real, I will know the fake
    3. I like listening to Gospel music, Even if there intentions are wrong, GOD sees my motives
    4. We should not Judge churches and other Christian movements as even though they might be intended for bad, GOD can use it to save souls. Our ultimate purpose is to spread the good news of salvation and save souls.
    5. We have to attend church as it is the gathering of the saints, and one believer sharpens another
    6. We should give 10% tithes, if not we rob GOD
    7. Classical music, even without words can destroy as a evil spiritual intention can be attached to it. A satanist can play classical.
    8. By exposing soo many pastors who we feel is false, only turns people away from Christ
    9. And a revelation can be reading the word that everyone knows but getting a new insight or meaning.
    10. By Judging certain churches, even SDA, we know it is wrong, but there are believers who are fooled and believe it is right, they believe in CHRIST and will still be saved. We cant judge people by the church they attend as GOD sees there motives. Its GODS job to judge and expose false prohets not mine. My Job is to spread the Gospel of salvation
    I Pray GOD will lead you in truth.
    11. You say you listen to the radio but not gospel???? Id rather listen to Gospel than knowing radio music by people who sold there soul to the devil.

    This guy is quite the liar – A worldly false Christian with a kundalini spirit in his spine. He wont judge false Christianity. He loves the Purpose Drive Church he attended and ‘apparently’ took theology classes there for 3 years. Yet is terribly self righteous as he goes around on Facebook telling others what they believe is false but is quite happy to judge me for listening to the radio: to news and traffic updates. Seriously? I told him I did not listen to false gospel music and if I were to listen to music I would listen to melodic classical music. But that is ghastly and satanic according to Elton, however he is insistent that Planetshakers etc, and other Hillsong ‘rock gospel’ bands are Christian with Christian lyrics (gospel) because they mention ‘Jesus’ all be it another Jesus (The false Christ).

    After I ministered to him for several days because he asked for and wanted genuine Christian guidance. I explained the Purpose Driven church/life and Contemplative Spirituality to him (which he refuses outright to research). After I told him I did not believe gibberish tongues speaking to be biblical, he told me he prayed to God and that he decided to stop speaking in tongues because he believed that he was blaspheming God. A couple of days later, after he stopped speaking in tongues he said to me in an email that: “Ever since I stopped speaking in tongues, I feel this weired “pins and needle sensation in my spine and back” I hate that feeling.” I told him he needs to pray and ask Jesus Christ to remove the demonic Kundalini spirit attached to him and any other demonic spirits. But did he do that? Nope, he accepted the demonic spirit(s) instead.

    Now I get the above email from him telling me that he believes that speaking in tongues is for the CHOSEN (he thinks he is chosen) after he admitted to me that Jesus Christ Himself never spoke in tongues and we are to follow Jesus Christ as our example. Speaking in tongues makes him happy when he is feeling depressed; it also makes him feel special because God CHOSE him, him Elton to have this ‘power’ to communicate (with demonic entities) in gibberish.

    Elton is the perfect example of what happens to your mind when you are taken over by the false unholy spirit that’s taken over the church today. He agrees with everything you have to say like “I am so inspired and in AWE at the revelation I received from your articles” and then comes back blazing with Kundalini FIRE and disagrees with everything you have to say.

    Regarding the subject heading: “so annoying when fools argue” This was Elton’s subject heading to me after arguing with someone on Facebook that they believed in false teaching. It’s official, Elton is a chameleon.

      John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

You all have misvonstrud the eritings of Ellen G. White. Thst is the truth. And pkease do not send out subtle insults when called on your inaccurate reports with reference to Mrs. White. Your insults won’t ever make you right if you sre wrong in your representation of this woman of God.

I don’t think uou need to worry about Lori C, as much as you need to worry about yourself usurping the role of the Holy Spirit. Truth is truth. You can’t change it. You only need to be convicted by the Holy Spirit, not by any man, woman, boy, or girl. That is all.

  17. Berris-Dale Joseph says:

    Elton: The blessed Christ Jesus does not contradict Himself. Speaking of diet, God already told you, by having told the Jews, how to eat and how not yo eat in the Old Testament and in Acts 10 of the New Testsment. Now, speaking of spiritual things Jesus is referring to spiritual defilement, that the foods we are supposed to eat cannot defile the spiritual realm, nor can eating with unwashed hands defile the spiritual heart. Now having said that, you will agree that Jesus would not tell someone to drink poison, right? Where does poison in this sense come from? Outside the body. Can it defile the body if drunk? Yes it can. So Jesus does not mean that nothing eaten can make us sick. If somebody is allergic to a certain food would it not hurt the person if ingested? Yes, it would. Furthermore, God instructed the Israelites not to eat certain meats nor to eat the blood of animals that are permissible to eat. Would Jesus go against this fundamental teaching later on by saying nothing outside can defile the person, so est snything you want? He would not. You and I need to understand beyond mere words, and take into consideration the contexts of the Master’s arguments and teachings. If you would subscribe properly to the guidance of the Holy Spirit, whose job it is to work with you to give you understanding of the Word, you would do better. Dietarily speaking, God means what He said, still, when He instructed His people not to eat pork, eel, shrimp, lobster, shellfish, congue, etc. In other words only what has fins and scales are designated as fit for human consumption in the sea. The other animals are good, but they are not good to eat. They are good at their assigned job, to clean up the ocean floor and keep it clean. Only animals on the land that chew their cud and have cloven feet are designated as clean for food. The specific designations for animals that fly are also given in the same place, Biblically.

    Thus, three clear specificstions to bear in mind still, in the consumption of animals on the land, as it is a binding dietary mandate for all mankind: 1) the animal that may be eaten as food must chew its cud 2) it must have cloven shaped feet and 3) its blood should be drained out and not at all be consumed. For says the Lord of life, “The life of the animal is in its blood.”

    Elton, you did not need to leave the SDA church. You might have thought you heard Jesus Christ telling you to leave His church, but you did not hear Him tell you that. That is for sure.

  18. Berris-Dale Joseph

    Do you really believe these heresies proclaimed by Ellen G White and her followers?
    A statement appears in the official church paper, The Review and Herald, clearly affirming the high position in which Ellen White is held in the Adventist church.

    “Seventh-day Adventists hold that Ellen G. White performed the work of a true prophet during the seventy years of her public ministry. As Samuel was a prophet, as Jeremiah was a prophet, as John the Baptist, so we believe that Mrs. White was a prophet to the church of Christ today”. (The Review & Herald. October 4, 1928.)

    Old Testament prophets were stoned to death if they only had one (a single) prophecy incorrect.

    She predicted that “Old Jerusalem never will be built up”. In Early Writings, p. 75, she said, “I was pointed to some who are in the great error of believing that it is their duty to go to Old Jerusalem and think they have a work to do there before the Lord comes …. I saw that Satan had greatly deceived some in this thing,… I also saw that Old Jerusalem never would be built up; and that Satan was doing his utmost to lead the minds of the children of the Lord into these things now, in the gathering time”.

    Her prophecy never came true. Since the nation of Israel’s rebirth in 1948, “old Jerusalem” has been greatly built up.

    She believed and predicted that she would be among “the living saints” when Jesus returned.

    “Soon our eyes were drawn to the east, for a small black cloud had appeared, about half as large as a man’s hand, which we all knew was the sign of the Son of man….Then there was a mighty earthquake. The graves opened, and the dead came up clothed with immortality. The 144,000 shouted, “Alleluia!” as they recognized their friends who had been torn from them by death, and in the same moment we were changed and caught up together with them to meet the Lord in the air”. Early Writings, p. 15-16

    She died at her home near St. Helena, California on July 16th, 1915. Eight days later she was buried beside her husband, James White, in Oak Hill Cemetery, in Battle Creek, Michigan.

    In 1862 she predicted that “when England does declare war [against the North, during the Civil War], all nations will have an interest of their own to serve, and there will be general war, general confusion.” The result will be that “this nation [the United States] will…be humbled into the dust”. Testimonies for The Church, vol. 1, p. 259.

    History clearly proves that England did not “declare war” against the United States during the Civil War, and the United States was not “humbled into the dust.”

    In the 1850s she predicted that the Lord would return in a few months.

    “In a view given June 27, 1850, my accompanying angel said, ‘Time is almost finished’….Said the angel, ‘Get ready, get ready, get ready…’ I saw that there was a great work to do for them and but little time in which to do it….Then I saw that the seven last plagues were soon to be poured out upon those who have no shelter…” Early Writings, p. 64

    She continues to explain her vision and makes a startling prediction that only a few months are left before the Lord will return. “But now time is almost finished, and what we have been years learning, they [“they who of late have embraced the truth”] will have to learn in a few months. They will also have much to unlearn and much to learn again”. Early Writings, p. 67.

    She allegedly saw Enoch on Jupiter and Saturn.

    “The Lord has given me a view of other worlds, Wings were given me, and an angel attended me from the city to a place that was bright and glorious. The grass of the place was living green, and the birds there warbled a sweet song. The inhabitants of the place were of all sizes; they were noble, majestic, and lovely….I asked one of them why they were so much more lovely than those on the earth….Then I was taken to a world which had seven moons. There I saw good old Enoch, who had been translated”. Early Writings, pp. 39-40

    Ellen’s husband, James White verified her vision. He wrote, “At our conference in Topsham, Maine, last Nov., Ellen had a vision of the handy works of God. She was guided to the planets Jupiter, Saturn, and I think one more. After she came out of vision, she could give a clear description of their Moons, etc.. It is well known, that she knew nothing of astronomy, and could not answer one question in relation to the planets, before she had this vision”. A Word to the Little Flock”, p. 22

    Excellent satellite pictures of Jupiter and Saturn have not revealed any life forms.

    Are you really going to allow a false prophet called Ellen G White and her church lead you straight to hell?

    But the prophet who presumes to speak a word in my name that I have not commanded him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other gods, that same prophet shall die.’ And if you say in your heart, ‘How may we know the word that the LORD has not spoken?’— when a prophet speaks in the name of the LORD, if the word does not come to pass or come true, that is a word that the LORD has not spoken; the prophet has spoken it presumptuously. You need not be afraid of him. (Deuteronomy 18:20-22)

    Lori said: “Here’s a thought” and “this is just my own thoughts”

    Bible sez: Let every man be a liar and God be true, much? How do your lying thoughts make you a commandment keeper? (They don’t!) Jesus’ command is to deny self, and you are sinning against that teaching. How does this disobedience make you a commandment keeper? (It doesn’t!) James 2:10 tells us that all your ongoing sin makes you a TOTAL law breaker, so even your claims of keeping some day holy are actually the sin of bearing more false witness compounded by deceiving yourself and others. Jesus commands to not be deceived, but you boldly rebel against that command as well (that is because “without Me you can do nothing”). Liars keep nothing holy, not even their much ballyhoo’d, venerated sabbath day! Breaking all the law means that you take Gods name in vain as well (assigning Him the name of Michael) and you let others handcraft a concocted god for you: the god that started an Investigative Judgement in 1844. This is the SDA sin of IDOLATRY. Jesus, truely God, taught His word would judge YOU on the last day, John 12:48. SDA’s disobey Him on this point with their satanic Ellen-White-based theories. SDA’s are utter failures at following Jesus’ commands.

    Their “faith” without good works at Jesus’ commands, is dead faith, shipwrecked. SDA’s worship a god called Michael, but in reality they have been tricked into worshipping Satan. True Christians discern this from their false Leviticus-16-scapegoat teaching. Their belief system is riddled with doctrines of demons.

    SDA’s are the among the most deceived, disobedient, people on the planet. They go around promoting a false she-prophet, Ellen White, in direct rebellion to Jesus command in Matthew 7:15-23. Notice no forgiveness is stressed in this passage. But He will tell SDA’s to get away from Him, true prophecy there!  Their rebellion to Jesus commands and utter stubborness to repent are accounted to them as witch-craft and idolatry — hardly the model of 10 commandment keepers they claim they are! SDA’s are repugnant to the gospel, they teach a false christ (really ANTICHRIST), Galations 1 informs us twice to let them be cursed. So be it.

    True Christians will soon recognize SDA’ism is 100% sin and is a vehicle for blaspheming Holy Spirit, ultimately. Their will be no SDA’s in heaven. They will be the ones gnashing their teeth in outer darkness for eternity.

    True Christians do not jeopardize their salvation by scripturally recognizing SDA’s and Ellen White as ministers of Satan, 2 Corinthians 11:4,13-15.

    It is SDA sin to neglect dealing (instant in season, right?) with your objections to their demonic teachings. Therefore they are proven to be total commandment breakers, total liars, filthy adulterers, idolators, murderers, total sabbath breakers! James 2:10 tells us all about their law keeping claims! SDA’s are incapable of keeping anything holy! Such deceived pretenders.

    Just because they dress like you, own computers, and speak proper English doesn’t mean they are anything but hypocritical, proud, deceived reprobates. Now do you believe in total spiritual depravity? (Jesus taught that the flesh counts for nothing.)

    “Are you really going to allow a false prophet called Ellen G White and her church lead you straight to hell?” — Tom

    Jesus’ answer to this question is: “without Me you can do nothing”. He gives life to whom He pleases, until then, if ever, they (SDA’s) are abjectly helpless, powerless to do anything about their rotten adventist condition. I have seen SDA’s leave adventism and dive into Catholicism, atheism, Eastern Orthodox, and Mormonism. Dwight Nelson in Michigan (SDA famous preacher, https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YknF_VvHo3Y) is convinced that he, his SDA flock, Ellen White, and Islam all worship the same Allah god. He might be right! “Without Me you can do nothing (no good works)” — so true!

    Rare SDA’s who have been Gifted Life will, without fail, shed their sinful Adventist idolatry, rejecting the false she-prophet of Adventism. Born again’s will know how to cling to True Jesus’ teachings, rejecting the rotten 1844-based false-christ, unscriptural Ellen White imaginings, antichrist teachings, and doctrines of demons of the depraved SDA system.

    Adventism is 100% sin.
    Adventism is profane.
    Adventism creates lies.
    Adventism is from the pit,
    Adventists are religious liars,
    Adventism is spiritually criminal.
    Adventism is Holy Spirit blasphemey.
    Adventism is detestable to Holy, Perfect God.
    Adventism is a conga line of religious pretenders,
    Adventism REFUSES to abide in Jesus’ teachings.
    Adventists “win” souls to a fake 1844-concocted “jesus” idol,
    Adventism is systematized, unregenerate, depraved unbelief.

    Once the 1844-Millerite rabble (soon to rename themselves SDA’s: subterfuge) got past scriptural integrity, the rest of their rebellion to Jesus was easy, feeding yet more disobedience to Jesus into their theological loop (wrong side of Luke 6:46-49). SDA’s are bringing a water pistol to a gun fight. They lied in 1844 (Romans 3:4) and they’ll lie to you now, serving their fathers agenda.

    Please forgive me if it seems I am undecided what scripture has to say about such hypocritical tares. I’ll try to firm up my beliefs.

    Just the spiritual janitor taking the corrupt, festering trash called Adventism to the curb.
