It’s a shame to see that in 2023, these issues in the video have largely been ignored. In fact the General Conference has recently doubled down in upholding EGW and the investigative judgement. No wonder many are leaving.
Unfortunately the SDA church believes that the spirit of prophecy (manifest through the writings of EGW) is what identifies them as ‘the remnant’ so for this reason they can never drop her
Des Ford "I would like to see the church come into full harmony with scripture" thanks Myles for being a thorn in the side to Adventist.. Keep on banging on their doors till they repent, receive and preach the Gospel of Jesus
I wish to thank the ladies in the chat for standing strong against the SDA. All my love as Sisters in Christ especially to Madeline and Queen Esther. I praise the Brothers as well who stand in the name of our Savior Jesus. God Bless Myles and his ministry that is answering questions about Adventism daily. 🕊️
@@CEBGRACE Yes He is great !!! Adventism is a cancer. It was co-founded and ruled by a mentally ill woman who placed herself above God. It stole from Catholicism and all the cults of the Burnt Over District. Maybe you should look up Universal Public Friend, she seems to be EGWitless' precursor. 🧐
Sad that the followers of Adventism are unable to divide the word correctly as Paul warned us to do. But more so that they pay such homage to EGW and her writings is beyond me. Putting it simply EGW insults our very creator with the presumption that her interpretations are what is needed to understand God's word. Obviously the apostles, the Holy Spirit, Jesus and God aren't enough but the world neede EGW. The woman is a deceiver and a servant of the enemy.
At this point, I don't even think that these people will believe Jesus Himself, if He came down from Heaven to tell them that she was a false prophet 🥴 They just refuse to see it no matter how much evidence it out there...
40:06 is the most important part of this video and shows the difference between who has an internal fight as an Adventist and who already made a decision. This interview presents 2 stages of the Adventist mind and Walter was sure about his position because he knew who Ellen actually was through all "her" liteturate while Ford got stuck inside the sanctuary as a person inside of a maze.
For me the first step in the right direction was when I discovered Light Bearers. Specifically the preaching of David Asscherrick. If not for hearing his Christ centered, Gospel centered Adventist leaning preaching, I would have never been prepared to receive the things that Des Ford has taught, let alone been prepared to embrace Myles’ ministry. I will always be thankful for David Asscherrick.
@@CEBGRACE I can understand what you mean. Myles’ approach can be a bit sarcastic and rough around the edges and yes I think he could probably reach more people if he altered that. But the information being presented (which matters a lot more than the presentation) is solid for the most part. I disagree on some things, but on the important topics I think this is a really good resource for Adventists to at least hear arguments outside our own echo chamber.
Who would think that a woman with just a 3rd grade education , the most translated female author of the world- Sister Ellen G. White, is who these two men with PH Ds are are so vehemently are attacking. D.Ford with 2 Ph Ds ; 1000 pages spent on trying to tear Sister White 's writings apart. I don't know... In Ellen White 's day copyright law was not in effect and she did use the best sources ; even in the Holy Bible Jesus & the disciples used the Old Testament: " To the law and to the testimony... Des Ford has alot to fear from The Investigative Judgment because of all the souls he knowingly led astray. I in no wise, envy the apostate position of these men. ... a woman with just a 3rd grade education; now really. Now more than EVER convinced her writings are TRULY inspired.
1844 undermines the work of the cross, and claims that his work was incomplete. As it says in Hebrews 9:25-28, Christ would have to offer himself up over and over if the cross was incomplete. There was no extra work in 1844. Once and for all... It is finished. Romans 6:1 shows that the early Christians were trying to understand the gospel, because they asked... Shall we continue sinning so that grace might increase?... God forbid. But the investigative judgment is not a misunderstanding of the gospel, it's an attempt at creating a cover-up for the false prediction of 1844.
@AnsweringAdventism @Myles thanks for this video i just pray SDAs would watch this video and take note and discuss it with their family and Pastor. And not see this like its mocking them or trying to put them down its all about sharing the truth. Your Catholic brother Robert from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
At 22:00 Walter Rea explains that Adventists believe sin is an act rather than the new covenant concept that sin is an attitude. He says, “ Adventists are old covenant believers rather than new covenant Christians” .
A simple straightforward reading of the book of Hebrews chapter 9 confirms that Christ went into the Holy place at his ascension and not 1844 years later. Just study the Bible and we do not need any other human device to take the place of the Holy Spirit.
SHOULD I BELIVE E.G. WHITE OR THE BIBLE? 1. Was the plan of salvation made before or after the fall? E.G. White says AFTER the fall (Great Controversy, p.347) The Bible says BEFORE (Ephesians 1:4:; 1 peter 1:18) Should I believe EGW or the Bible? 2. Was Adam deceived by Satan? E.G. White says YES (Evangelism, p. 589) The Bible says NOPE (1 Timothy 2:14) Should I believe EGW or the Bible? 3. Did pre-flood human beings mate with animals to produce amalgamated created creatures? E.G. White says YES (Spiritual Gifts Vol. 3,p 64 ) The Bible says NOPE (Genesis 1:24-25- Nowhere in the Bible is it indicated there was amalgamation of human beings and animals before the flood) Should I believe EGW or the Bible? 4. Was the tower of Babel built before or after the flood? E.G. White says BEFORE (Patriarchs and Prophets, p. 119) The Bible says AFTER (Genesis 11:4) Should I believe EGW or the Bible? 5. Who bears human's sins? E.G. White says SATAN (The Great Controversy, p. 422, 485-486) The Bible says JESUS (1 Peter 2:24) Should I believe EGW or the Bible? I have read so much of what EGW wrote and what others in the church and outside have written about her writings. She calls her writings "little light" that lead people to "greater light", the Bible. The truth is her writings are leading me away from the Bible. Should I believe the Bible or clear heresies of E.G. White?
“Love gives life to the lifeless. Love lights a flame in the heart that is cold. Love brings hope to the hopeless & gladdens the heart of the sorrowful.” I hope that all my Adventist friends will sense my affection for them. They are unfairly criticized.
I guess, according to the narrator of this video (9:30), Creation Week was only 3.5 days, because they were counted as being "evenings and mornings" just as the 2300 days were counted. Someone does not understand the Bible and its use of special, descriptive language!
Did Ellen White receive instruction from her dead husband, and did she follow it? If you could point me to some information about that, that would be very helpful. Thank you.
Adventists do not believe that communication with the dead is possible. The dead is believed to have no consciousness, not even spiritual consciousness.
So it's okay to still continue to be Seventh-day Adventist, like Desmond Ford, but disagree with critical doctrines such as the Investigative Judgement? How can one claim to be SDA but disagree with the official organ? Doesn't make sense to me. Basically anyone can be SDA with "personal" subjective reasoning. Its like pin the tail on the donkey, where there seems to be this thin line for many Adventist who are progessive or liberal in the givings of what to accpet and what to reject. I totally agree with his dissection of the 1844 heresy, but I wonder why he stayed SDA. I understand romans where we aren't to judge the day or foods etc of a believer, but the SDA Jesus just isn't real if the Investigative Judgement is false. Id FLEE! 😅. Because ultimately the official church belives in a false gospel Ford no longer agrees to....quite interesting.
@@FlyingGentile I think Des had a sentimental connection to the organization and wanted to reform it in light of scripture. And this influenced his wanting to remain a part of the organization despite his disagreement with official teaching.
@answeringadventism o okay was just curious, because I was reading a October 1980 document about him and his beliefs right after being put out the church.
I never follow denominations ,or identify with it. Better to read bible urself and get babtized, not the church baptism, but the true baptism. Many adventist even belive that pastor can only baptise and its more about church then baptism that is written in bible
Ford was addicted to sugar and reading cheap novels. He credited the Adventist health message for saving his life. He could have learned health info with a library card. Des Ford named his daughter Ellen. His son Luke despised Adventism and had no healthy relationship with his father. Luke’s video done hours after his father died is an eye opener. Des knew the pure gospel, and I believe enjoys the presence of Jesus today, was blinded by a deep devotion to Ellen. As far as I can tell he died being what Elce Thunder Lauristan calls an “ Ellenist.” I hope I am wrong.
What Des says at 21:30 is exactly what Mark Martin says. Mark has moved on from being an ex Adventist speaking about Adventism. “ Adventists believe Jesus paid the down payment on their salvation, and now they must make the monthly installment payments to pay the debt they owe.” Mark probably became sick and tired of talking about Adventism. He went from being a fired Adventist pastor in Phoenix with about 100 members to a pastor of 10,000 born again Christians in Phoenix. May be more than 10,000 now. That’s a very old number. Best day of Mark’s life was being born again, second best was being fired by the Adventist demonic cult. His wife may disagree - Adventist children literally threw rocks at her as an Adventist school teacher, and they yelled at her, proclaiming her husband Mark is a “ bad man.” Adventist children- future disgusting pompous Pharisees in training.
21 million is a lie. Adventist pastors never report the members they leave or die. There’s nothing wrong with the Ankerberg show being old. Des Ford was the last chance for Adventists to repent. God has given them over to delusion and confusion and their blasphemous heresies. There are millions of Adventist cultists in eternal hell right now.
Hmmm? Why would they show a "side-view picture" of Desmond Ford, "behind" a "window" and partial "curtain", looking like he's moving a "chess piece"??? Bizarre, isn't it!? ... ( Bill Cooper would've loved to pick that one apart! )
When one refuses to examine the issues actually presented and choose to examine feeble points which has no coralation to the actual purpose of wat is being presented its often cognitive dissonance as play
Zero Christians turn to Adventism. New Covenant new creations in Christ instantly know that Adventists are non Christian demonic cultists as soon as they learn Adventist teaching.
I think the fact that Ellen White did not draw attention to the authors whom she quoted speaks the more eloquently to her own prophethood. God does not regard persons, and all truth is from Him, not them. Had Ellen White praised or elevated those authors in any way, it would have detracted from the message, drawing attention to them instead of to the truths they advocated. Furthermore, if she were collecting the gems of truth from them, and put their name to it, would not many be tempted to consider that an inspired endorsement for everything they had said, much of which may not have been the truth?
Don’t try to defend EGW’s plagiarism. God clearly speaks against this when He commanded us not to steal (a commandment) or take the word’s from others and claim them as our own. ““Therefore,” says the Lord, “I am against these prophets who steal messages from each other and claim they are from me.” Jeremiah 23:30 NLT I highly suggest reading the whole chapter.
@@JD__2018 If you choose to interpret the Bible's meaning in that way, then Jesus was also a false prophet. Be careful by what rod you measure the prophets! Jesus quoted the Scriptures on many occasions, sometimes explicitly referencing them in doing so, sometimes not. Peter did the same thing. If Peter was a false prophet because he did just what Ellen White is accused of doing (quoting without attributing), then one might go so far as to cast out the entire Bible, along with that book of Jeremiah which you just quoted. Nay, it is not wrong to repeat the words which God has given, nor is it wrong not to credit them to the spokespersons through whom God gave them: in fact, to credit the man is to deny that God was their true Source.
Ellen G. White was not perfect as many other human beings. I find most of her writings useful in my spiritual life. As an SDAC member, I try every day to be a better person and trust in the mercy of God. I don't care about non important details.
You can't try to be a better person. Our goodness is not enough to please God. You have to believe in the complete atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ which paid for our forgiveness of sins.His death,and burial and resurrection.(1 Corinthians 15:3-10). Then you must repent of your sins and be baptized in the water in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins and be filled with the Holy ghost according to the scripture (Acts 2:37-38),(Acts 19:2-7),(Acts 10:44-48). Christ is the only one who can save us and present us blameless before the presence of his glory. We are not good enough. We got to surrender to God and let HIM live through us that is the only way that we can live a pleasing life to God (Romans 8:9-14).
Just like moses raised up the image of the snake the people must look on it to not die of snake bites. Jesus was nailed on the tree. You must keep your eyes on jesus to be saved.
Dez, your comparing "prophecy" giving Ellen White to a person quoting from other non God breathed words, apples to oranges. She constantly contradicts God's breathed words. She knew it. She was making money from her followers like every other cult's false prophets (teachers, as Peter and Paul say).
How many have been indoctrinated into thinking Jesus'sacrifice has something to do with the Day of Atonement? Jesus was the Passover Lamb. Remember when John said, behold the goat of God? Of course you don't because John proclaimed Jesus was the LAMB of God. Stop and think for a minute. Did the people eat the goat? When the goat was thrown over the cliff don't you think bones were broken? Jesus gave us His flesh to eat symbolically. Not one of our dear Saviors bones was broken fulfilling Scripture. Stop pandering to Adventists over a sacrifice that has nothing to do with our redemption. Stop trying to force pieces together that have nothing to do with each other. Yes, there are similarities but that's where it ends. Look at the Passover sacrifice and you will find they are a perfect match. 🕊️

It's interesting to see how 2 two men with PH Ds are are so vehemently attacking the writings of Ellen G. White, a woman with just a 3rd grade education. This little detail neither one mentions . Neither do they mention the fact that copyright law was not in effect in the during Ellen White 's time . Another thing, it goes unmentioned that Ellen White is the world's most translated female author ; something I don't think neither Rea nor Ford have accomplished. Even in the Bible, Jesus and His disciples quoted from the available Scriptures, The Torah, " To the law and to the testimony..." They relied on the law and the prophets. Sister White 's sources were the Biblical and reliable historically. Rea I wouldn't want to trade places with Des Ford who has led so many souls astray, including the man sitting next to him; deriding the major Pillars of Adventists. No man was more accommodated and given love and time than Des Ford ,instead he comes up with a 1000 page against the Sanctuary and the Spirit of Prophecy. It is true what the Word says: " Pride goeth before a fall." No, i do not envy either one of these men.
“Attacking” No, examining. Stop calling exam “attacking.” If they are “precious rays of light shining from the throne of God” then they deserve critical exam to see if they pass. Again, stop calling this “attacking.” “Copyright law was not in effect” It’s fascinating you guys use this defense. So stealing is only wrong if the American government says so? I thought you guys were the commandment keepers? No, Ellen White didn’t just “quote from the available scriptures”. Again, such a terrible defense. She stole people’s writings and CLAIMED THEY WERE FROM GOD. Then, on top of it, copywrote the statements and sold them to make a fortune. Stop saying this is no different than the apostles and Jesus. An insult to Jesus and His disciples trying to elevate and defend a thief. No one asked you to “envy these men.” All you have it character attacks which is the standard Adventist way. Attack someone personally instead of dealing with what they say.
Ellen White- a woman with a third grade education. People who are not highly educated can decieve and be decieved. She consistently withheld the truth regarding what she had published under her name. She struck her assistant in the face for telling the truth about her writings. The green glow that was seen coming from under her study door as she did her automatic writings and her dream of her dead husband talking to her are creepy and are not of God. Money, power and adoration flowed to her and her husband as they promoted false teachings. Evil comes in many packages.
@@janejones3170 Right, the spirit of prophesy isn't Ellen White. In Matthew 23: 8-10 it says we have 1 teacher, 1 Father and 1 instructor- the Messiah. Ellen White was not a prophet sent by God to interpret the entire bible and history from beginning to end for the entire world or anyone. Jesus the Messiah is our instructor.

Zero Christians turn to Adventism. New Covenant new creations in Christ instantly know that Adventists are non Christian demonic cultists as soon as they learn Adventist teaching.
I think the fact that Ellen White did not draw attention to the authors whom she quoted speaks the more eloquently to her own prophethood. God does not regard persons, and all truth is from Him, not them. Had Ellen White praised or elevated those authors in any way, it would have detracted from the message, drawing attention to them instead of to the truths they advocated. Furthermore, if she were collecting the gems of truth from them, and put their name to it, would not many be tempted to consider that an inspired endorsement for everything they had said, much of which may not have been the truth?
Don’t try to defend EGW’s plagiarism. God clearly speaks against this when He commanded us not to steal (a commandment) or take the word’s from others and claim them as our own.
““Therefore,” says the Lord, “I am against these prophets who steal messages from each other and claim they are from me.”
Jeremiah 23:30 NLT
I highly suggest reading the whole chapter.
@@JD__2018 If you choose to interpret the Bible's meaning in that way, then Jesus was also a false prophet. Be careful by what rod you measure the prophets! Jesus quoted the Scriptures on many occasions, sometimes explicitly referencing them in doing so, sometimes not. Peter did the same thing. If Peter was a false prophet because he did just what Ellen White is accused of doing (quoting without attributing), then one might go so far as to cast out the entire Bible, along with that book of Jeremiah which you just quoted.
Nay, it is not wrong to repeat the words which God has given, nor is it wrong not to credit them to the spokespersons through whom God gave them: in fact, to credit the man is to deny that God was their true Source.
Ellen G. White was not perfect as many other human beings. I find most of her writings useful in my spiritual life. As an SDAC member, I try every day to be a better person and trust in the mercy of God. I don't care about non important details.
Give me one biblical text that says Christ atonement was NOT COMPLETED AT CALVARY. JUST ONE UR OWN SOP WORDS.
Read ur Bible
@@PatriciaAkinyomboI KNOW RIGHT. U SDA'S PUT UR FALSE PROPHET GOOD OLD ELLEN ABOVE THE BIBLE. SADDD
You can't try to be a better person. Our goodness is not enough to please God. You have to believe in the complete atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ which paid for our forgiveness of sins.His death,and burial and resurrection.(1 Corinthians 15:3-10). Then you must repent of your sins and be baptized in the water in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins and be filled with the Holy ghost according to the scripture (Acts 2:37-38),(Acts 19:2-7),(Acts 10:44-48). Christ is the only one who can save us and present us blameless before the presence of his glory. We are not good enough. We got to surrender to God and let HIM live through us that is the only way that we can live a pleasing life to God (Romans 8:9-14).
Whether jesus saves you are not, sin can do you alot of damage. Happier you are to keep my commandments. Pain and destruction makes the way with sin.
Sounds very Watchtower.
Also the disfellowship rules.
Just like moses raised up the image of the snake the people must look on it to not die of snake bites. Jesus was nailed on the tree. You must keep your eyes on jesus to be saved.
Dez, your comparing "prophecy" giving Ellen White to a person quoting from other non God breathed words, apples to oranges.
She constantly contradicts God's breathed words.
She knew it. She was making money from her followers like every other cult's false prophets (teachers, as Peter and Paul say).
How many have been indoctrinated into thinking Jesus'sacrifice has something to do with the Day of Atonement?
Jesus was the Passover Lamb.
Remember when John said, behold the goat of God? Of course you don't because John proclaimed Jesus was the LAMB of God.
Stop and think for a minute.
Did the people eat the goat?
When the goat was thrown over the cliff don't you think bones were broken?
Jesus gave us His flesh to eat symbolically.
Not one of our dear Saviors bones was broken fulfilling Scripture.
Stop pandering to Adventists over a sacrifice that has nothing to do with our redemption.
Stop trying to force pieces together that have nothing to do with each other. Yes, there are similarities but that's where it ends.
Look at the Passover sacrifice and you will find they are a perfect match.

quite a strange teaching here. read the bible Nicely friend and don't rush.
@@samdzveta6552 Turn to Christ Jesus and Live. Adventism is a cult, cut from the same cloth as Mormonism. If you're understanding places you under the 10, then you're dead in Sin.
By Grace, through Faith, we are Saved.
It's interesting to see how 2 two men with PH Ds are are so vehemently attacking the writings of Ellen G. White, a woman with just a 3rd grade education. This little detail neither one mentions . Neither do they mention the fact that copyright law was not in effect in the during Ellen White 's time . Another thing, it goes unmentioned that Ellen White is the world's most translated female author ; something
I don't think neither Rea nor Ford have accomplished. Even in the Bible, Jesus and His disciples quoted from the available Scriptures, The Torah, " To the law and to the testimony..." They relied on the law and the prophets. Sister White 's sources were the Biblical and reliable historically. Rea
I wouldn't want to trade places with Des Ford who has led so many souls astray, including the man sitting next to him; deriding the major Pillars of Adventists. No man was more accommodated and given love and time than Des Ford ,instead he comes up with a 1000 page against the Sanctuary and the Spirit of Prophecy.
It is true what the Word says: " Pride goeth before a fall."
No, i do not envy either one of these men.
“Attacking”
No, examining. Stop calling exam “attacking.” If they are “precious rays of light shining from the throne of God” then they deserve critical exam to see if they pass. Again, stop calling this “attacking.”
“Copyright law was not in effect”
It’s fascinating you guys use this defense. So stealing is only wrong if the American government says so? I thought you guys were the commandment keepers?
No, Ellen White didn’t just “quote from the available scriptures”. Again, such a terrible defense. She stole people’s writings and CLAIMED THEY WERE FROM GOD. Then, on top of it, copywrote the statements and sold them to make a fortune. Stop saying this is no different than the apostles and Jesus. An insult to Jesus and His disciples trying to elevate and defend a thief.
No one asked you to “envy these men.” All you have it character attacks which is the standard Adventist way. Attack someone personally instead of dealing with what they say.
Ellen White- a woman with a third grade education. People who are not highly educated can decieve and be decieved. She consistently withheld the truth regarding what she had published under her name. She struck her assistant in the face for telling the truth about her writings. The green glow that was seen coming from under her study door as she did her automatic writings and her dream of her dead husband talking to her are creepy and are not of God. Money, power and adoration flowed to her and her husband as they promoted false teachings. Evil comes in many packages.
@@answeringadventismWhich writings did she specifically steal and claim were from God?
Spirit of prophecy is Jesus not Ellen White and the Bible say Hebrew 1 ;1-2 say no more prophets after Jesus
@@janejones3170
Right, the spirit of prophesy isn't Ellen White. In Matthew 23: 8-10 it says we have 1 teacher, 1 Father and 1 instructor- the Messiah. Ellen White was not a prophet sent by God to interpret the entire bible and history from beginning to end for the entire world or anyone. Jesus the Messiah is our instructor.
