เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 13 เม.ย. 2008
The Advent Defense League is a ministry dedicated to bringing you answers to common objections against Adventist beliefs. On this channel, we teach and defend the doctrines of the church as outlined in its 28 Fundamental Beliefs, specifically its most controversial subjects such as the Sabbath, Law and Grace, the State of the Dead, Hellfire, the Heavenly Sanctuary, the Investigative Judgment, and others. We unapologetically take a hard stand against critics of Adventism. If you are a critic producing anti-SDA videos, in all probability your video will show up here for a critical review and refutation.
Interested in having ADL visit your church? We can bring apologetics trainings, seminars, and evangelistic meetings.

Is Zechariah 14 About The Second Coming of Jesus? End Time Prophecy Revealed!?
Many use Zechariah 14 as proof of Jesus's second coming. They use this verse as evidence that we should still be keeping the feast days, and that we will also keep the feasts in Heaven. But is this true? Lets break down the chapter to find out...

I wish I was able to be in discussion with these guys! I have so much to say biblically. Just wish I had people to talk to about it.
The latter rain is the spirit… the awakening of dry bones is by the spirit… the seal of God is the spirit… we can’t minimize this role of God… it is the spirit of God that will give us the power to obey and testify of Jesus
He is a fake!!!!CAN NOT BE WELL, YOU ARE IN THE WAY TO CRUMBLE!!!!

These guys throw away versus that doesn't support their doctrine.... shame on them and may the lord reprove them. The bible is clear, Jesus' feet will step on mount olives when he comes the second time.
An Australian who was ministering hit the nail on the head when he said, our pastors should not be settled or tied to a church. They should give bible studies, baptize. Help establish churches and then move on. The churches are to be ministered by elders and run by all members of the church.
wow wow
Your breakdown of the chapter is very detailed. However, I have one issue with your explanation. Remember after the 1000 years millennium of us being in Heaven, Jesus returns (3rd Coming) with us to the earth and the New Jerusalem comes down. It is after this that our Father will destroy the wicked. There will be no more wicked people on the earth after that hell fire destruction. Zachariah 14:17 speaks of persons who do not come to worship at Jerusalem will have no rain on them. Brothers of the Advent League, I humbly put forward to you that after the hell fire cleansing of the wicked there will be No One on the Earth who has any trace of sin in them. Everyone who will be on the Earth at that time will be the Redeemed. Also, Jesus was our Sacrificial Lamb on the cross of Calvary, there is no need to sacrifice any more, post Calvary. This chapter of Zachariah is a conditional prophesy that would have been fulfilled prior to Calvary if the Israeli nation who were God’s choses people did what their mission was. They were supposed to be the light of the world to witness the love of Yah and through them the world would have been evangelized. But that did not happen. Subsequent to the millennium time period on the New Earth (after the destruction of the wicked), there will be no more tears, no more death. This is why your explanation of chapter 14 is not aligning with Calvary’s sacrifice and explanations in the book of Revelation.
We need to remember ,although we find sermons good and necessay, WE MUST have a personal relationship with God. Bible study daily. Worship God. Ask for forgiveness and change. Allowing God to bring trials that changes all our lives. Pr Myers is not perfect. But he is doing the Lords work. To judge is Gods work. Pr Vine is also not perfect. We are looking to much at men and not enough at Jesus!!! If we look at men and get upset and angry about topics we will loose sight of God. Our paster always says go home and proove what i have preached and study it for yourself. (The one man said at the start - you gotta see what this man is doing) No, God is doing the work, the Holy Spirit is doing the work. God gives the strength. God gives every penny for his work. Glory to God! Ivor Myer is a vessel. The best thing we can do is pray for all our ministries. ❤
Amen!
Thank you Pastor
PG!!! Pr Ivor has blessed my sisters and I and helped shape the way we read and understand the bible. God bless him, his and wife and kids always xo
love all the way from Canberra, Australia btw
My apologies would love to listen but not with Myers, used to listen to him but after his comment regarding Pastor Vine... I think back to Hal Myer promoting the mask and jab and realised his mistake, and apologised afterwards.

The conference is not the church we are the church
Yep Matthew 18.20 that's the definition of the church.
Is this not the guy who equated Pastor Conrad Vine so vehemently to Lucifer?! Really ADL?! unsubscibed from his TH-cam channel, like so many others have.I 'm surprised at you guys, ADL. You guys are so impressionable. 😢 I would suggest we stick to the Holy Bible and the SOP. Not just any personal interpretation. You guys flatter this guy so. I am surprised.
A 3am show... Did you guys have day light saving?
This.was.mind blowing!!!! Answered prayer from God that I prayed this week after watching the distraction and disunion going on in the church. We truly need to leave the bunnies behind. We need to get back to loving each other and not viewing other people as -“Oh, soon their light will go out.” Or “Soon the shaking will take care of them.” What happened to our love and thirst for souls? We shouldn’t be just waiting in anticipation for souls to be lost. What happened to a merciful heart, kindness, forgiveness, and compassion?” We are manifesting the stony hearts Pastor Ivor pointed out and not hearts of flesh.
I know lots of people like that.. that don't even know who Jesus is ..(just like SDA)! I know atheists that fit your description.
THIS IS TRULY AMAZING FOR ME PERSONALLY THIS SABBATH, THE 14TH OF DECEMBER '24! I had the theme of the Great Controversy and my place in it. I had a special prayer: i asked for a special Sabbath and i may truly spend time with God. I did not want to hear myself and the Devil how i don't "deserve" forgiveness and that usually leads me to give up altogether. I've been praying for the Lord to prepare me meeting my God. Yep, I don't feel worthy of God's work on my behalf before the mercy seat. Suddenly, i realized: i'm by faith praying an unusual prayer, like the Holy Spirit is shaping this prayer asking: for the Lord to clear my mind so i can say what i need to say. I think of Steps To Christ; "The Sinner 's Need of Christ, " and how that is exactly the point i'm trying to make because it's the reason for the prayer i'm uttering/the Holy Spirit upon receiving and wanting this Sabbath to be special. I finish my longer than usual prayer for receiving the Sabbath. I open the Word of God, but as usual, I pray for God to decide what He wants to tell me through His Word. I was going towards John when i passed Ezekiel then , am strongly impressed to stop by chapter 36 and underscore a couple of verses popping up at me. 22)"Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I do not do this for your sakes, O house of Israel, but for mine holy name's sake, which ye have profaned among the heathen, whither ye went." 26)A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit I will put within you: and I will take away the stony heart of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh. 27)And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes,and ye shall keep my judgments,and do them. 35)And they shall say, This land that was desolate is become like the garden of Eden;... 36)... I the LORD have spoken it, and I will do it.✅️ 38)As the holy flock, as the flock of Jerusalem in their solemn* feasts;... and they shall know that I am the LORD." *at this point, i'm totally thinking : plan of salvation- The Sanctuary! I couldn't help it; i visited the following chapter 37: Vision of dry bones in the valley. 26) "Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them,and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for ever more . 27)My tabernacle also shall be with them: yea, I will be their God , and they shall be my people. 28)And the heathen shall know that I the LORD do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in their midst for evermore. " I asked the Lord, for a hint that He had heard my prayer. Well, look at the Scriptures i read and the promises God gave me! But then ADL is next, and there is my favorite of your guests: Pastor Anthony Burrell, espousing on exactly what I 'd just read and confirming something people don't think about: that the most important aspect of The Great Controversy, is that the name of God be vindicated. If we love Jesus, we must want that above all, for it's God's character also on trial here. Satan is insisting that Jesus died in vain and we cannot have the victory over sin. Sorry for the book. I just wanted to share my joy with you guys on this Sabbath re: God answered my prayer! Happy Sabbath to all ❤!🔉🔉🔉🗣
Also think this is "good stuff" - the whole ADL 😊
Happy Sabbath!
Though the church may look feeble she will triumph the church is the bride of Christ
@FocusedSHALLOW Yeah, but many bright lights that us to shined will go out
The church is ..but SDA is not the church!
@@morpeter76even( lesser lights) and they never had anything that was actually truthful.. including who Jesus is
I don’t think it’s a “shaking” i think the SDA church as an organization is cooked. There’s just too much corruption and division. The core belief system and ideologies will live on but I believe this is the beginning of the end for the general conference of SDA
John 11:45 KJV - Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him. John 12:11 KJV - Because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus. Not all are going to believe
@@morpeter76SDA believes in a Jesus just not the real one
I truly believe that SDA will completely collapse in the next 9 years
@@MarkChupp-j5i A French philosopher named Voltaire (1694-1778), in his voluminous writings against Christianity and the Bible, predicted in 1776, “One hundred years from my day, there will not be a Bible on earth except one that is looked upon by an antiquarian curiosity-seeker.” Within fifty years after his death, in an ironic twist of Providence, the very house in which he once lived and wrote was used by the Evangelical Society of Geneva as a storehouse for Bibles and Gospel tracts.
Seventhday adventist church will keep going until Satan appears and then i think there will be a shock then silence . Then the end church will rise up. Not only sda's but Gods people who are obedient to the Sabbath. Then it won't be long.

In the mind of myles. the catholic church RULES the pope. the pope dont RULE the church. its the church that has the power to change things.the pope dont have that power 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Here is some of the comments of myles CanRight junior .and now he defend his Catholic Church,when he is told the pope or Catholic Church change Creation Sabbath to sun-day >>>>they(adventist) seriously do not get it. That’s why I wanted him to post the source and show where it says “the pope.” They read into “the church” thinking that means “the pope. myles- responds @answeringadventism no it isn’t. Provide the source. Provide the source from the Roman Catholic Church where they admit the Pope changed the sabbath. What paragraph of the Catechism?
For a years and 11 months now God have been speaking to me , it all started on the 7 th of January 2023 at 3: 30 am I was awaken by the voice of God that says to remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy, I was shocked , before i heard the Lord's voice, i was a baptize pentecostal, at the time i thought I was on the right track my faith in Christ was strong I love God with all my heart , so on hearing God voice i became confused especially when I told my sister's in Christ what I heard ,they literally said it was the devil speaking to me, then one week later which was the 14 th of the same month at the same time the voice woke me up this time it said i want you to worship me in spirit and in truth, for my people worship me in truth but not in spirit, after hearing the voice i question my self what is spirit and what is truth, i thought I was worshiping God that way so i had to surch goggle to find out what is spirit and truth,i discussed it with my sister in Christ again and they read Galatians 5 for me scene i never study the bible i believe and ignore the voice, but God did not stop there on the 21 of January which was the third time at the same time 3:30 the voice said study the bible and history, scenes then i started searching goggle and i wsi😮😮😮 i started 😢 and repented and left pentecostal and now I am keeping the Sabbath day, and am sorry to say that God worned my also that not to fellowship with ADA because they only worship him in truth and not in spirit and that they worship EGW as an idol, and always compare his words to his like she is a God alongside Him i knew very little about EGW but now i know a bit about her and her teaching and why they love her writing, after all she was the founder of the SDA church and a prophetess that explain God words but God is a jealous God he is alive looking for his glory EGW is dead and get more recognization by SDA 😅 but 50% of the time you hear sister white say in stead of God say and he said he not please it i will end their, there is so many things that God reviled to me that will shock you and how far we are from his glory , one thing I know for shore that without the commandment we are doomed and God revill the 666 is all those that accept sunday worship, and Christianity was not from him and that it was a trick to the saints of God that if they called themselves christian and do like Christ on the outside then they could treak even the elect ,and this is what they did , having people to worship the cross where Christ is no longer there , praying for mary to intercide for them were th is alive sitting on his throne the san day as the Lord's day instead of Saturday and the list goes on
Man's interpretation! Not inspired at all!
So Jason if Christ say that where he go you can't come where was he talking? If it isn't Heaven where was mose before he appeared on the mounted of transfiguration ?why I asked this question is because their somethings about God you and I will never figure out.
25 minutes; metting nowhere. I want concrete word od God😢
Since this presentation is geared toward SDAs who believe Ellen White was inspired with thr Spirit of Prophecy, you will find a lot of her statements quoted by the speaker in an effort to clarify the distortions done to those quotes by Anti-Trinitarians.
@AdventDefenseLeague it is only confusion. Do you have a source/ presentation that is straightforward and not wandering all over creating confusion so it can "clear" that confusion? Demanding i get out of your alfabet letter congregation and insinuate i am ignorantly arguing a sacred source is totally irrelavent to my effort to understand. But typical how your alfabet entitles superiority 😭
This video is 9 years old? He might have had a changed view by then? No offense, but why dive into a aged old video?
I've never, anywhere in the Bible, 1:05:35 seen where it even intimates that the investigative judgment altimatically sends anyone to hell! Book, chapter, and verse, please
Is God doing the right thing ?
The atheist has honest accusations against God - the God of the Bible.
There are no such things as honest accusations against God.
I think the best way to have approached the atheist's video is not through pointing out why the SDA position is right doctrinally and biblically speaking because that would be very unfair to him. There is no common ground. He doesn't trust the Bible as a whole, and the God presented in it. Additionally, the atheist believes that the God of the Bible has been committing, continues to commit and will commit genocide at the second coming. Here, the rightness of the doctrine must never be brought to supersede the justice of God in doing so. The onus is upon you to vindicate the justice of God.
55:55 More conspiracy. Just imagine somebody said, “Can you believe that Christians think abortion should be illegal because of their religious beliefs”. You could then respond with it being murder or whatever. But they can respond, “Well morality is subjective so even if it is murder in some sense, we’re not held to that. It’s YOUR commandments in the Bible that says not to murder and it’s YOUR Bible that implies abortion is infanticide. WE don’t care”. My point is that saying something should be a law is purely saying it would be beneficial. The Catholic Church is saying it’s beneficial for people to try and rest that day of the week and praise God. You guys feel the same exact way about Saturday because you try and get jobs to allow you to have Saturday off, so I’m sure PLENTY of Adventists would support a law making it mandatory for any job that has a Christian who identifies as a Seventh Day Adventist to be able to take Saturdays off of work. Like I’ve pointed out in my previous comments, hypocrisy.
51:36 We’ve reduced ourselves to conspiracy theories. Lovely. I’m sure any of us can find something Ellen White did that adds up to 666, but then you guys would probably reject it then. Because it’s the Catholic Church it’s okay though. “Look at all Ellen White did (which you’d already reject btw, and Catholics reject when you say it) and look her “amount of pages in her final book before she died is 666 pages and 66 pages have 66 lines of text mentioning Satan 66 times *not a literal example btw don’t go reading her last book to confirm this lol*”. This is childish rhetorical nonsense.
If you believe EGW you should get out of the cities. Get ready... EGW wrote that America China India and Russia will suffer mass starvation.
The atheist says many things that are biblical and true, but he says them with some peculiar tone. ADL, did you notice this? His difficulty is placing implicit confidence in the Bible. This is the real point at issue. He doubts inspiration. This is where you could have addressed everything at once. He is a stranger to - completely unfamiliar with, inspiration. He doubts General Christianity. He is an open infidel. The fundamental question which ought to have been addressed was , " Can the Bible be Trusted ? " It is meaningless to debate with an atheist on Christian doctrine. There is no common ground. The Bible makes claims that it - itself, is inspired. Men do not have a standard to determine whether the Bible is inspired or not. The Bible stands or falls if it fulfills or does not fulfill the claims and the promises that it makes to those who believe it. The Scriptures, being the product of inspiration, they are - themselves, the evidence for their own inspiration. They stand or fall on the foundation upon which they themselves build for themselves. Once this is clear, believing the Creation, the Sabbath, the State of the Dead, etc ... will naturally follow for the atheist, but the doctrines, in order to be impregnable and convincing, must be presented as mere tributaries to the Gospel. The doctrines, combined, are simply definite points showing that the Gospel is properly understood. Present Christ IN THE DOCTRINE.
42:31 & Dr. O says that was a perfect explanation. So everything I’ve commented previously applies to him as well. If you’re an Adventist, and if the makers of this video are reading this, please read my previous comments. They aren’t inflammatory, they’re just honest and can’t be denied. The way Dr. Gauthier conducted that assessment of Catholicism comes off very bias and intellectually reckless. I’m not implying it’s on purpose, I’m sure I’ve unfairly misrepresented Adventism before. But whether or not it’s on purpose, it’s glaring. If you guys think you’re going to convert any Catholics with presentations like these, I promise it will only be the ones who aren’t learned in Catholic doctrine and the context of everything you’ve pointed out.
42:21 You chose to pick somewhere that specified Lord’s Day to emphasize your point. The Catechism does not avoid listing the Sabbath and their theology around it. Again, the context is that their theology says the Sabbath was fulfilled in Christ. Disagree with that if you want, but this image doesn’t add that context so I will.
1:11:21 Christ did not die to give us a “sin allowance”. His goal is to remove sin from us.
40:44 Who are they praying to? I don’t really know what this has to do with the video you guys are responding to, but they’re praying to Mary. Asking for intercession. Your implication doesn’t work. They didn’t take out any commandments, it’s a tradition (that not only Catholics have by the way) of how to read the commandments. This is because of the layperson. If a layperson reads the typically Protestant second commandment tradition, they could come to the confusion of all the earthly images created in the Bible (ones also commanded by God Himself) following this passage, contradicting the second commandment. Obviously God didn’t mean it as literally as it could be read, there is a context of what He’s conveying. This is taught to catechumens by the way. Again, context is key.
I know you guys don’t like spam, but I’m honestly just responding so much, because these are all unfair statements. You point out that the Church claims to be the judge of scriptural interpretation. Okay, can you continue since you stopped the red early? “…which carries out the divine commission and ministry of guarding and interpreting the word of God.” Okay, that’s better. Now.. if they were divinely commissioned to do something, for argument’s sake, then who would have divinely commissioned them? God. So who are they implying is the ultimate judge? God. If they answer to God because of being divinely commissioned by Him, then that’s not them asserting that they’re the ultimate judge. It’s them asserting that they’ve been commissioned to be the visible, earthly judge, under the guidance of God. That’s as clear as day in this text. A comparison would be Ellen again. If Ellen were to say that she is the one to go to if you want to know how to carry yourself in the end times, is she saying she’s THE ONE to go to if in the sentence after she says that she was divinely commissioned to be a messenger in the end times? No. She would be implying she is a visible, earthly person to go to, but that ultimately God is the one to go to because of her being divinely commissioned to be in the position that she’s in.
