I became interested in sda because of a wonderful person I met online. What she wrote touched something in me. Then she lead me to the total onslaught series. That was the best Bible study I ever had. I felt like finally I understand. Then I researched sda listened to many different teacher in the church and seen for myself that the teachings are in accord with the Bible. So for those who only listen to the people who find fault, please search for yourself ask God to guide you in all thruths and His word. When the churches start opening up again I plan on joining one in my community. God Bless you all .

@@FAB7362 he is delivering the word. He is not to be exalted neither does he want you too. He speaks truth but humbly. He is preaching Gods word not his word.
Glory be to God. I'm so thankfully for the message i had from this pastor. I'm a SDA ,but before i was Muslim. And i was persecuted by my parents for Joining SDA .but now I'm a strong believer of the truth after winning the battle of the persecution. Let's pray continually.
God bless you, @KumagumAlvin My husband and I were other denominations, and we have faced similar family situations. But this is the church that we feel follows the Bible the closest, and we are so humbled and joyful to be a part of it.

I am a new Sabbath keeper and I agree with every single thing that you shared in this video. The Holy Spirit has revealed each and every point to me, that you made in this video, and I will share it with as many people as I can Godspeed 🙏
That is all good but I warn you not to trust any man made religion! SDA don't believe in the lake of fire or eternal damnation for wll eternity and the Bible teaches us different! They will tell you what you want to hear but I'd you pay attention and listen to them for awhile you will see the lies! If you READ Bible and pray for a Holy Spirit to reveal all truth to you as He did me, then you won't be deceived! There is only 1 religion and that is Christianity! The Christ! Being Christ -like! Everything else won't hold water on judgement day! Be careful Be very careful of false prophets! Even Satan can disguise himself as an angel of light!!
My parents be came Adventist when I was 3. They worked for a doctor who was 7 day Adventist. 5 of my 7 brothers be came SDA plus me. .Mom and dad were also SDA.. I have a lot of friends that are SDA.
Beautiful.... I am a Christian and do not know what a seventh day Adventist is exactly but my heart agrees 100% with yours. Thank you so much for this beautiful video.
Hi HarrellHome, a Seventh Day Adventist is a person baptized into the Seventh Day Adventist church. I pray for your continuing walk with Jesus Christ,....
VERY EYE OPENING! A little bit ashamed I knew SOOO LITTLE about brothers and sisters in the faith of a different denomination from the one I am in. Thank you for this VERY INSIGHTFUL TEACHING. I have plans to have my first Bible Study with 7th Day Adventists this afternoon. Now I am looking even more forward to my time with them!
We are glad you found this video helpful. Don't hesitate to message us if you have questions about any Adventist teachings. You can reach our Bible instructors at info@HopeLives365.com Matt Gray- HopeLives365 Media Director
I am an Adventist and I am so very grateful that you have spoken FACTS from the Scriptures. Anyone with an open heart will be able to understand. Thank you Pastor for sharing the Word with everyone, those who are and are not Adventists.
the bible says in James 3:17 But the wisdom that is from above is firstly pure, then peaceful, kind, benign, full of mercy and good fruits, without uncertainty or hypocrisy. 18 And the fruit of justice is sown in peace for those who make peace. Those are the characteristics of the wisdom of God, so what characteristics does nudism have? It is pure peaceful, kind, benign and bears good fruits. So, if the characteristics coincide, what is the conclusion that nudism is considered within the group of practices that is in the wisdom of what is high because it meets the biblical characteristics of the wisdom from above according to the bible and therefore it is not a sin and everyone who says that it is not like that simply wants to reject what the bible says and then give another meaning to the bible
You can't call yourself a born again Christian because you call yourself a man made religion! There is only 1 way to the Father and it is by Jesus Christ! There is an eternal lake of fire that God will cast everyone in who continues to self deceive themselves. SDA are hung up on the Sabbath instead of all the 10 commandments! I believe strongly in the Sabbath and that's the only true link I have with them. But I tell you truthfully! There is only Christianity. Jesus Christ The King of Kings and nothing else will be in Heaven, not even man's opinions!!
Hi Karen, praise God. Thanks for watching. If you have anymore question about Adventists or want to become a member of the Adventist Church, please email us at info@Hopelives365.com May God bless you.
I was never an Adventist, I became one 25yrs now and still going... the church teaches bible based truth I'm now the first Elder of my local church... I thank God for his word and being apart of this Seventh day Adventist Church... and thank you pastor Mark!!
Can I ask you these eye opening questions regarding the Bible? 🎈1. Protestants claim they go by the Bible only, but I wanted to ask on who you follow as an example; is it Jesus or is it Paul or is it the Apostles or is it all of them or it neither of them? ➡️1Pet.2:21 states "...because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow His steps." ➡️The Apostle Paul in 1Cor.11:1 states "Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ." ➡️Then it says that the household of God "...are built upon the foundation of the Apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone" in Eph.2:20. 🎈2. Now if protestants go by the Bible as they claim, then why are they NOT followers of Jesus, Paul, and the Apostles? ➡️Paul kept the 7th Day Sabbath as his custom in Acts 17:2, Acts 18:4, Acts 13:14,14,42-44. ➡️Paul said to keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread in 1Cor.5:6-8. (The Feast of Unleavened Bread is part of God's Law; see Exod.13:4,6,9-10.) ➡️The Apostles keep Pentecost in Acts 2:1-4. ➡️Jesus kept the 7th Day Sabbath as his custom in Luke 4:16, Mark 2:28. ➡️Jesus kept the Feast of Tabernacles in John 7:2,10,14. 🎈3. I know protestants try to overlook the 7th Day Sabbath as well as God's Festivals in Lev.23, but why do they push on pagan festivals (Christmas (sun god), Halloween- (god of death), Sunday-honors sun god, etc.) which honor other gods that Jesus, Paul and the Apostles didn't keep, which God condemns? (See: E.G. White, 21 Manuscript Release, p.223. E.G.White, Bible Echo, December 15, 1892 par.11. Etc. Google: cuttingedge santa satan ➡️See also Jer.10 about Christmas Tree.) 🎈4. Protestants claim also that Jesus was born December 25th, then tell me where in the Bible does it say Jesus was born December 25th, or in the winter and where it is commanded in scripture to keep Christmas, Halloween, New Year's (Janus = The god of gates), birthdays (honor oneself as a god), etc.? 🎈5. It is clear from the Old Testament and New Testament that God's true people kept the Feast Days of Lev.23, but why are NOT protestants keeping them today when we see in the future that God's people will be keeping God's Sabbaths as well as the New Moons which begin the 1st day of each month on the Hebrew Calendar/Jewish Calendar (Isaiah 66:22-23, Zech.14:1,9,16-19)? (🎼Note: To keep the feasts, you have to know about them. These feasts are in God's Plan for mankind.) 🎈6. It is clear from Peter in 2Pet.2:21 that the way of righteousness is keeping God's Holy Commandment: the 7th Day Sabbath and to NOT do it would be SIN; wouldn't it be SIN according to 1John 3:4? 🎈7. The Presidential Seal has the ➡️name, ➡️title and ➡️territory (Joe Biden, President of the United States) of what one controls. In Rev.14:7, it states "...worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.", which points back to the 4th commandment in Exodus 20:8-11. God's Seal is found in Exodus 20:10-11 = "But the 7th day is the Sabbath of the ➡️LORD thy God...For in 6 days the ➡️LORD made ➡️heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is..." Now it says in Rev.7:2-8 says that God's Seal is protection in Rev.9:4 = "And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have NOT the seal of God in their foreheads." So my question is if we know the Sabbath is the Seal of God; then why would people do the opposite of God's Seal to have the MARK of disobedience (Mark of the Beast in Rev.13:18)? (🎼Note: The Catholic Church says: "Sunday is our MARK of authority...The Church is above the Bible, & the transference of sabbath observance is proof of that fact." = Catholic Record of London, Ontario, Sept.1, 1923. ) 🎈8. Since the Catholic Church is above the Bible, to be in control, to say different than what the Bible says to do, then why are protestant daughters following the pagan doctrines of the RCC or should I say their mother as Rev.17:5 describes it? ➡️Tomorrow's World Booklets you should consider in reading: "Which day is the Christian Sabbath?" "The Holy Days: God's Master Plan" "Satan's Counterfeit Christianity" "God's Church through the Ages" Regarding 1Tim.4:1-5. I was wondering if you know the opposites of the Roman Catholic Church (RCC), for I did NOT know if you knew Dan.8:12 =🚫this is talking about the RCC casting God's Truth to the ground. For the RCC 🚫tried to change God's Law (Dan.7:25)too; see Catholics Commandments by googling it and compare them with God's Commandments in Exodus 20. They took out the 2nd commandment, changed the 4th which is their 3rd and added another "covet". Learning from 1Tim.4:1= it says "...some shall depart from the faith giving heed to seducing spirits, and 🌋doctrines of devils." What most people do NOT know is the faith in 1Tim.4:1 that Catholics and the SDA Church left is mentioned in Acts 20:28-30 as "the Church of God". Also many people don't see the things the RCC and SDA have in common, they both believe in the trinity, Christ's Death Friday and Resurrection Sunday, Birthdays which are all false that came from Pagan Rome. You might have NOT known that JW's carry a doctrine from the RCC too, and that is "angels mating with humans". ↗️Now from the following on: we know the RCC and the SDA Church would forbid marriage and command their members NOT to eat the clean meats in Lev.11 and Deut.14. 🚫The RCC forbids priests to marry, but Luke 1:5,13 says the priest Zacharias was married to Elizabeth. 🚫The RCC forbids eating lamb, deer, chicken, beef on Ash Wednesday, Good Friday & all Fridays during Lent. 🚫SDA Ellen G. White testimony of 1885 said, "In this age of the world, as the scenes of earth's history are soon to close and we are about to enter upon the time of trouble such as never was, the fewer the marriages contracted, the better for all, both men and women."--Ellen White, Testimonies, Vol.5, p.366. 🚫SDA say you can eat the clean meats of Lev.11 and Deut.14, but they try to make you vegans and/or vegetarians. In Testimonies (1872), Volume III, p.21, Ellen G. White said her visions gave her "positive testimony against ...flesh meats, butter, ...Further she stated that cheese should never enter the stomach, and that "eggs" should not be placed upon your table" (Testimonies, Volume II, p.68, 400). However the Bible contradicts Mrs White, for Jesus (the God of the Old Testament) ate a meal of bread, butter, milk and beef with Abraham in Gen.18:1-8. it was prophesied that Jesus would eat butter in Isaiah 7:14-15. God's people eat eggs (Job 6:6, Luke 11:11-13). David ate cheese in 2Samuel 17:29. Other facts to consider for SDA's: ↗️Jesus did NOT drink grape juice, He drank wine (oinos) = Matt.11:18-19, John 2:1-11. Paul told Timothy to drink a little wine for his stomach's sake. SDA's are very dishonest to say the Greek word "oinos" is grape juice, Google: oinos.Try getting drunk on grape juice in Eph.5:18. ↗️Even at the communion SDA's have, they observe it quarterly and it is usually on the 7th Day Sabbath, but the SDA Church replaced (Matt.26:17,19,20, Mark 14:1,12,17) Passover the 14th to their own communion which honors the goddess Ashtoreth, they did (1Cor.10:20-22)grape juice instead of wine (1Cor.11:21,25-34, Matt.26:27-30, Mark 14:23-26), and observed it in church instead of (1Cor.11:22, Matt.26:18, Matt.14:14) one's home. (🎼Note: When you don't keep Passover on the right day and don't observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread, then you will be sinning because you will be eating things that rise like bread, cakes, etc. which have leavening (baking soda, baking powder and yeast) ingredients in them. Now when you eat leavening products, you honor the goddess ashtoreth: the queen of heaven = Jer.7:18, 1Kings 11:5,33, 1Samuel 7:3-4, Deut.12:30-31, etc.)
It's a cult that is trying take you back to the curse of the law, and EGW was a false prophetess. They don't even rely on the bible alone they seek interpretation of the scriptures from EGW's skewed extra biblical teachings contrary to what the presenter is saying here. I used to be an SDA btw so I know what I'm saying. They believe Michael the archangel is Jesus and they believe that the soul sleeps when we die which are unscriptural heretic teachings of EGW. They believe in salvation by works I know that, the presenter is only being loyal to the cult so he won't admit.
Of course I expect nothing less but a typical response from a blind follower trying to defend their cult. I pray that one day your eyes be opened, and you read your bible.
This is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO wonderful, thank you for this AWESOME TRUTH!!!!!! Why have I been in church almost all my life, have lived in 3 states and have attended Catholic, Methodist, Purpose-Driven, Pentacostal/Non-Denomenational/, Baptist and Calvary Chapel churches (which I still love because my Pastor defends Sabbath on Saturday and all these precepts, but I had NO IDEA what the 7th day Adventists believed, honestly had not heard much about them, and thought this was more like Jehovah's Witnesses, IMAGINE THAT?!?! I see now that SDA's have it ABSOLUTELY right, and that is a work of the enemy to keep this truth from ANYONE!!! I am sooooooo grateful to my friend who was newly saved and taught me about this. I have been walking SO MUCH CLOSER with the Lord since then!!!! Thank you sooooooo much and I pray for the spread of these truths!!!
Like you i was unfamiliar with what the SDA believed, but due to my friends introducing me to their church I feel more comfortable...just as I walked away from the Catholic teachings and went to a non-denominational organization...I am seeking truth..Waiting on confirmation from above.
Thank you Pastor for sharing the wonderful and touching sermon. May many be blessed listening to it. God bless the whole team of HopeLives365 and all the people who trust in Jesus.
Praise God! for this breaking down of the Seventh Adventist Beliefs. My mother's older sister was married to a S.A.Preacher but our family was Wesleyan & Catholic members. Due to grandpa as a Merchant and a Farmer, he had the money to put us his grandkids in Wesleyan Schools. I had never understood S.A.Beliefs. All I remember, they were strict with Sabbath, Strict Diets, no Pork, no Coffee, certain Seafoods and of course no smokes and liquors. Appreciate your teachings Pastir Dr. Finley, this is really an eye opener for our family members. I already informed my other cousins all over the States and in the South Pacific. God bless.
Hi Mark, In 1956 I was given as a gift, a Bible after I was baptized into Christ by a Paster of the Seventh Day Adventist Church, sometimes after, a priest convinced me that I was keeping the Jewish Sabbath, so I left and got involved with other religions, but each time I started to study and pray, I would end up in the SDA Church and each time something or someone would pull me away from the Church. Since 2017 the same thing had to happen after I prayed to God and asked Him if He would lead me to the people that keep the commandments of God and have the faith of Jesus, through a chance meeting with a man who was an SDA Christian. I believe God answered my prayers, I went back to the SDA Church in 2017 this is the 3rd time I've been back, I've gone full circle, and I got re-baptized last month Nov. 2019. The journey is over and the Lord has bought me back to where I belong. This is the answer to my prayers, and this is, where I intend to stay.
@@BiblicalTeachings. I'm sorry you've got your wires crossed, never did the SDA Church teach that Jesus came secretly, only the Jehovah"s Witnesses teach that Jesus came in 1914. The millerite movement taught that Jesus would return in 1844, it was a great disappointment, out of that movement, came the remnant church the Seventh Day Adventist that keeps the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. Advent means the second coming of Jesus Christ, we are waiting for his imminent return, it won't be in secret, He will come with the clouds of Heaven which mean the Angels, and every eye will see Him. '
@@barry9604 the usage of "Adventist" in Seventh Day Adventist ought to be a reminder that the pioneers got it so terribly wrong. It refers to the false teaching of a false christ that was to return in 1844. The name is stuck with you like mud.
@@thenowchurch6419 So you don"t believe that God can and will answer prayers, don"t you believe in prayer. in my comment, it was all about me praying and asking God to help me find the commandment-keeping people. And he did!!!
I met Pr. Finley over lunch years ago. What impressed me the most about him was the genuine insterest he took in a simple worker I was at the time, He took time to ask so many questions about my work and family although there were so many other people (important) at the table, too. Very humble man.
Really pastor you are a blessing to us, thank you for the elaboration , I became a seventh day Adventist in February 2022 but ever since then, I have found only peace, hope and growth in spirit day by day in Jesus'name through the Adventist,I love you so much all Adventist across the world who are patiently waiting for Jesus.
Nicely presented !! We came into the Seventh Day Adventist church about 15+ years ago, before which we knew nothing about them. It has been an incredible blessing. I had come to the Bible which led me to Christ. We were for a time at a couple of 'normal' (nominal) Sunday keeping churches. As my walk with Christ grew closer - I got deeper and deeper in scripture and kept finding things in scripture which did not match up with scripture. Studying these I found that these came as traditions from the church of the dark ages. One of these was the Sabbath commandment. Having never even heard there was such as thing as the Adventist church, we prayed for God to show us who is teaching these truths and how should we keep God's Sabbath. Jesus and the Apostles and EVERy writer of the old and new testament (some books written decades after the death of Christ. A couple days later - when setting up a new TV set in a workout room - It was scanning the channels and I heard the word 'Sabbath' as it clicked through its scan. Went back and founud Doug Batchelor of Amazing Facts, who was talking about the Sabbath. Loved the teachings, it matched scripture and ditched the false doctrines. Found that Sacramento Central Church was only about 15 miles away - we started going. It was an AMAZING revelation and growth, we got involved in the media ministry. Later God moved us out to another church to work their media ministry. The point is - it has been the most incredible blessing, the Truth really will set you free. I am a staunch bible conservative and my engineering background means that the details really matter to me. I pray for all those out there to allow God to Bless you with scriptural truths. I've bookmarked this video - it could be great for sharing with others that have misconceptions about the Seventh Day Adventist church - sadly most are afraid to hurt our feelings and don't bring up the issues they see. Please bring it on - Adventists have a biblical reason for all the doctrines. But as Mark Finley points out if we are obedient we will know the doctrines. Most persons that I find having 'issues' are people that don't want to be 'inconvenienced' by really following the teachings of Christ. I cringe when they tell me things like "doctrine doesn't matter - just love Jesus". (1) Over and over Scripture speaks of the importance of doctrine. You don't even know who Jesus is without doctrine. Is He the brother of Satan asd one denomination teaches? Certainly not. (2) And how do we love Jesus? Who is the best authority on that. Jesus of course, ...and Jesus said "If you love me keep my commandments" (John 14:15) My plea is for those to reevaluate their spiritual life and relationship with Christ and make a commitment to consecrate their lives to Him, ...to dig in deeper to follow scriptural truths and leave the false doctrines of mankind behind. Its been a most incredible blessing indeed.
The lovkdowns have kept me in my house and also listening to Gospels from different churches.I grew up a Catholic. And changed to Pentecostal when I moved overseas. Reading my Bible and having questions about the Sabbath. I did my research and found out it was the Roman Emperors / Popes of long ago who changed The Lords Day to Sunday. Not God .so already that was a disobedience. TO change The Creators Law.. If one doesn't want to keep God's Sabbath.DON'T PRAY TO HIM. UNLESS its another God somewhere who's not Yahweh. Now I try to keep The Sabbath .(TRY ) I can't go to a Adventist gathering.where I live its 4 hrs drive to get to the nearest Adventist church. Can I just observe The Sabbath and read my Bible.without going to any church. Everytime I go to church on Sunday,my ❤ pains. What can I do. ???
@@bernadetblack2871 Being able to regularly attend is certainly a blessing - especially if we can be really involved. That being said - we can only do what we can do -God understands circumstaces. But we can pray that opportunities arise, and that through your witness local friends and neighbors may come to these truths allowing you to study together - the nucleus of a new church!! Praise God for His mercy in helping us into new truths that bring us ever closer to our Lamb of God!
I was raised a Catholic after being asked if I believe the Bible is the word of God, I, of course, said yes, The question was if I can show you from the Bible things that differ from what you believe would you look. Bible Studies then lead me to the truth and I became baptised Adventist by immersion 29 years ago Praise God.
I've just started looking into SDA this week... I was always told it was a cult, but I find myself very interested in the message... I watched from Babylon to America, got me curious! I was raised Catholic.
That's GREAT! However, if you haven't been baptized in the precious name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of sins, all you did was get wet! Jesus, in Matthew 28:19 commanded His disciples to baptize people in the 'NAME' of, the Father (TITLE), the Son (TITLE) Holy Ghost (TITLE). You were born, which makes you a son! If you are married, this makes you a husband. If you have children, this makes you a DAD! Father, Husband, Dad, are your TITLES! Those are NOT your NAME! Father, Son and Holy Ghost, according to Matthew 3:16, are TITLES! Jesus said to be baptized "IN THE NAME OF"! Thus, the Father has a name, the Son has a name, and the Holy Ghost has a name! If this were not true, why did Jesus say it that way? What is that name? I'll prove it to you that that name is JESUS CHRIST! John 5:43 I am come in my Father’s name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive. Thus, the name of the Father is Jesus! This is perfect English. What is the name of the Holy Ghost? Most people would answer that the Holy Ghost has no name! I will prove with this next verse that he DOES! John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. Thus, the name of the Holy Ghost is Jesus! let me take it one step further: (1 John 3:16) "Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren." If your bible says "By this we know what love is" or something like that, then you own a corrupt perversion of a book with the words, Holy Bible, written on it. I study from ONLY inspired word of God, the King James Bible! No other book can claim this!
My own search is long and wonderfully filled with The Holy Spirit’s leading. I have been a Seventh Day Adventist for 48 years and still My Lord Leads me! My desire is to tell my story, the Lord is leading me to prepare for His soon return. He is Good, He is very Good, my prayer is that all will taste and find His goodness personally! It is the only way to truly know Him. His Word is True!
I've been looking on your Bible, I see the tears in the pages. It just simply says you really love your Bible. Thank you for your faith, Pastor Mark. It's contagious.
GOD HELP ME TO COME BACK TO YOU IN TRUTH AND FAITH, HELP ME TO COMMIT WHOLLY AND TO LOVE YOU AND BE BACK TO YOUR FEET HEAVENLY FATHER. LET YOUR HOLY SPIRIT GUIDE ME. AMEN
This is not the time to be without the Lord run to him do whatever you have to do . leave sin behind... FAST AND PRAYING ...come into his arms because time is short my sister..AMEN..LORD JESUS
@Cheludo Tapeleo... .He heard you,that was a heart felt prayer and as the saying goes" when the student is ready,the Headmaster is ready". Continue to pray and pour your heart out to Him and live to please Him. 👍🙏
If you want to know this. You need to know this 1 JH 3:9 When a man is born again one is made internally sinfree. This subjective Change is biblical now in this present world.. Visit THUSIA SDA GOSPEL HERE ON TH-cam TO LEARN MORE ABOUT SINFREENESS. MAY GOD BLESS YOU
Thank you for this. I was raised Adventist. I was never really mentored, cared for and I fell away. I was calling Adventists legalistic. But two years ago, I found Jesus. REALLY found Him. Or He found me is what I should say. The past two years, I have been on a walk, looking for the truth. I am slowly coming back to Adventists. I think I was just not exposed to the correct Adventists in my youth. Thank you so much
Wonderful to read Melissa. I too left as a youth and came back at 61 years. The pull is so strong to come back to the truth. Keep looking up, it won't be long. 🙋♀️🙏🌺
We are searching for the truth. Aren't we? I have seen so little of it also. Just like you. It is nice to have the holes in our hearts filled by 👍 good for once. Now I see how empty my heart really was. I talk too much sometimes. God be in our hearts and mind. K, bye
Yes, I am so very thankful that the Word of Yahuah (God) records very clearly that the Feasts of Yahuah (God) are indeed to be observed today as in times past. What a blessing it is to present ourselves before Yahuah (God) on His Appointed Times , especially on His Premier Flagship Feast - the Seventh Day Sabbath! See Lev 23:2,3.
Amen and Amen.... I was born a Catholic and attended a minor Seminary but after seeking God's truth I am now a strong SDA.... It is the truth we are seeking and the Holy Spirit always direct us to know the truth.
Dear brother/son/grand son, be a Christian(Acts 11:26; 1Peter 4:15-16) not an SDA, a Catholic, a Baptist, a Pentecostal or whatever factional name one would like to be called after(Acts 11:26; 1Peter 4:15-16). Salvation is only in the name of Jesus (Acts 4:10-12). Once you have received salvation, God will guide you where you can get help for spiritual growth and maturity (1Corinthians 1:10- 13; 1Corinthians 3:1-4)

I know protestants try to overlook the 7th Day Sabbath as well as God's Festivals in Lev.23, but why do they push on pagan festivals (Christmas (sun god), Halloween- (god of death), Sunday-honors sun god, etc.) which honor other gods that Jesus, Paul and the Apostles didn't keep, which God condemns? (See: E.G. White, 21 Manuscript Release, p.223. E.G.White, Bible Echo, December 15, 1892 par.11. Etc. Google: cuttingedge santa satan ➡️See also Jer.10 about Christmas Tree.) 🎈4. Protestants claim also that Jesus was born December 25th, then tell me where in the Bible does it say Jesus was born December 25th, or in the winter and where it is commanded in scripture to keep Christmas, Halloween, New Year's (Janus = The god of gates), birthdays (honor oneself as a god), etc.? 🎈5. It is clear from the Old Testament and New Testament that God's true people kept the Feast Days of Lev.23, but why are NOT protestants keeping them today when we see in the future that God's people will be keeping God's Sabbaths as well as the New Moons which begin the 1st day of each month on the Hebrew Calendar/Jewish Calendar (Isaiah 66:22-23, Zech.14:1,9,16-19)? (🎼Note: To keep the feasts, you have to know about them. These feasts are in God's Plan for mankind.) 🎈6. It is clear from Peter in 2Pet.2:21 that the way of righteousness is keeping God's Holy Commandment: the 7th Day Sabbath and to NOT do it would be SIN; wouldn't it be SIN according to 1John 3:4? 🎈7. The Presidential Seal has the ➡️name, ➡️title and ➡️territory (Joe Biden, President of the United States) of what one controls. In Rev.14:7, it states "...worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.", which points back to the 4th commandment in Exodus 20:8-11. God's Seal is found in Exodus 20:10-11 = "But the 7th day is the Sabbath of the ➡️LORD thy God...For in 6 days the ➡️LORD made ➡️heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is..." Now it says in Rev.7:2-8 says that God's Seal is protection in Rev.9:4 = "And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have NOT the seal of God in their foreheads." So my question is if we know the Sabbath is the Seal of God; then why would people do the opposite of God's Seal to have the MARK of disobedience (Mark of the Beast in Rev.13:18)? (🎼Note: The Catholic Church says: "Sunday is our MARK of authority...The Church is above the Bible, & the transference of sabbath observance is proof of that fact." = Catholic Record of London, Ontario, Sept.1, 1923. ) 🎈8. Since the Catholic Church is above the Bible, to be in control, to say different than what the Bible says to do, then why are protestant daughters following the pagan doctrines of the RCC or should I say their mother as Rev.17:5 describes it? ➡️Tomorrow's World Booklets you should consider in reading: "Which day is the Christian Sabbath?" "The Holy Days: God's Master Plan" "Satan's Counterfeit Christianity" "God's Church through the Ages" Regarding 1Tim.4:1-5. I was wondering if you know the opposites of the Roman Catholic Church (RCC), for I did NOT know if you knew Dan.8:12 =🚫this is talking about the RCC casting God's Truth to the ground. For the RCC 🚫tried to change God's Law (Dan.7:25)too; see Catholics Commandments by googling it and compare them with God's Commandments in Exodus 20. They took out the 2nd commandment, changed the 4th which is their 3rd and added another "covet". Learning from 1Tim.4:1= it says "...some shall depart from the faith giving heed to seducing spirits, and 🌋doctrines of devils." What most people do NOT know is the faith in 1Tim.4:1 that Catholics and the SDA Church left is mentioned in Acts 20:28-30 as "the Church of God". Also many people don't see the things the RCC and SDA have in common, they both believe in the trinity, Christ's Death Friday and Resurrection Sunday, Birthdays which are all false that came from Pagan Rome. You might have NOT known that JW's carry a doctrine from the RCC too, and that is "angels mating with humans". ↗️Now from the following on: we know the RCC and the SDA Church would forbid marriage and command their members NOT to eat the clean meats in Lev.11 and Deut.14. 🚫The RCC forbids priests to marry, but Luke 1:5,13 says the priest Zacharias was married to Elizabeth. 🚫The RCC forbids eating lamb, deer, chicken, beef on Ash Wednesday, Good Friday & all Fridays during Lent. 🚫SDA Ellen G. White testimony of 1885 said, "In this age of the world, as the scenes of earth's history are soon to close and we are about to enter upon the time of trouble such as never was, the fewer the marriages contracted, the better for all, both men and women."--Ellen White, Testimonies, Vol.5, p.366. 🚫SDA say you can eat the clean meats of Lev.11 and Deut.14, but they try to make you vegans and/or vegetarians. In Testimonies (1872), Volume III, p.21, Ellen G. White said her visions gave her "positive testimony against ...flesh meats, butter, ...Further she stated that cheese should never enter the stomach, and that "eggs" should not be placed upon your table" (Testimonies, Volume II, p.68, 400). However the Bible contradicts Mrs White, for Jesus (the God of the Old Testament) ate a meal of bread, butter, milk and beef with Abraham in Gen.18:1-8. it was prophesied that Jesus would eat butter in Isaiah 7:14-15. God's people eat eggs (Job 6:6, Luke 11:11-13). David ate cheese in 2Samuel 17:29. Other facts to consider for SDA's: ↗️Jesus did NOT drink grape juice, He drank wine (oinos) = Matt.11:18-19, John 2:1-11. Paul told Timothy to drink a little wine for his stomach's sake. SDA's are very dishonest to say the Greek word "oinos" is grape juice, Google: oinos.Try getting drunk on grape juice in Eph.5:18. ↗️Even at the communion SDA's have, they observe it quarterly and it is usually on the 7th Day Sabbath, but the SDA Church replaced (Matt.26:17,19,20, Mark 14:1,12,17) Passover the 14th to their own communion which honors the goddess Ashtoreth, they did (1Cor.10:20-22)grape juice instead of wine (1Cor.11:21,25-34, Matt.26:27-30, Mark 14:23-26), and observed it in church instead of (1Cor.11:22, Matt.26:18, Matt.14:14) one's home. (🎼Note: When you don't keep Passover on the right day and don't observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread, then you will be sinning because you will be eating things that rise like bread, cakes, etc. which have leavening (baking soda, baking powder and yeast) ingredients in them. Now when you eat leavening products, you honor the goddess ashtoreth: the queen of heaven = Jer.7:18, 1Kings 11:5,33, 1Samuel 7:3-4, Deut.12:30-31, etc.)
Im a seventh day adventist and still wanting a lot of studies to learn listen from you pr. Mark. Thanks for sharing the words of God and the full doctrines of our denomination.
Dear Pastor Finley, thank you very much for all your sacrifice and work, so that other people can know the Adventist message. It has been a tremendous blessing to me Claudia Clementi.
The adventist message?? Paul preached the gospel of Christ, that should be the message. Sadly, the SDA message IS NOT THE GOSPLE OF CHRIST, maybe that is why they (Adventist) do not preach it.
It's NOT about the adventist message,IT'S ALL ABOUT THE GOSPEL OF JESUSCHRIST..... KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS..... TO HIM ALONE BE ALL GLORY FOR EVER AND EVER..... Blessings to you and your family.
@@KevinSmith-tl2jn I'm with you brother,ALL GLORY FOR THE KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS JESUSCHRIST... the SAVIOR of my soul ....... Galatians 2:20.....
I REST IN CHRIST,and do my best to be obedient according to GOD'S provision and gifts of the HOLY SPIRIT.... 1st. Corinthians 13........... And have No LOVE i became like ......etc.etc.etc. 😏😏😏😏😏😏😏
Thank you Ps. Finley for such a clear and detailed message on our 28 Fundamental Beliefs. God bless you. I am Smanga Dominion Kay, an evangelist and preacher in the SeventhDay Adventist Church in South Africa.
We are saved by Grace and grace alone but the evidence of our salvation is through our works. A truly saved person will live in total obedience to God’s word.
I dont think there's such a thing as perfect obedience because we dont yet have perfect sinless bodies and minds. But I agree. We gotta fight our flesh. And obey. And I'm afraid I've fallen many times.
I was saved 40 years ago under a Baptist Preacher, I was taught all the Bible truths that you are teaching except the Sabbath teaching. After watching you on TV and my private studding the Bible for the past two years I think you are correct on keeping the Sabbath. Thank you for standing for the truths of the Bible and keeping the Sabbath Holey. I also want to keep the Sabbath Holey and honor the GOD of the Sabbath. With Love from a Bible believing baptist. GG
Hi Carolyn, we thank you for watching this video. And we are happy that you realize the importance of sabbath after your study. If you need any helping in finding a sabbath keeping church, please feel free to email us at info@hopelives365.com and we would be happy to connect you with one.
God created the New Testament for a reason ! It's the new covenant that we live by . Colossians 2 :16 . God's greatest commandments , Matthew 22 verses 36-40
Go watch John MacArthur he will explain why we don’t worship on Saturday way better than I can. My own understanding is this: 1) Jesus arose on Sunday 2) as Christians we are NOT under Jewish law. 3) we can’t pick and chose the laws of the Old Testament to follow. It’s follow the whole Jewish law or Christ. We can’t have it both ways. This is written so many places through out the Gospel of Christ. I’m just given you my view. I am thankful to be able to worship Christ. Side note, we don’t get into heaven by doing works.
I was born a Seventh day Adventist, my faith has been a journey and I love it when I learn more truths about our beliefs. May God be praised for using you Pastor Finley.
I was raised Baptist by my mother, my grandmother on father's side Seventh Day Adventist, her teachings as a child and insistence to read the Bible myself has put me on wanting to become a Seventh Day Adventist. God and health permitting I will. I am in my heart. God bless.🙏♥️
Sandya, thanks for sharing about yourself briefly. It’s wonderful to hear that your grandmother shared the Bible truths upheld by the SDA church. We’ll be happy to talk to you more about your desire to join the SDA church, email us at info@hopelives365.com
The Holy Spirit has for sure lead me to watch this video tonight, it’s literally confirmed all that the Holy Spirit has been showing me for months 🙌🏼 Thank you Jesus
look into them for yourself...I belonged to an SDA church for over 3 years and ran away when I started to learn for myself some of their doctrines which are not Scriptural... and be very wary of "idolizing" their prophetess EGW...don't follow blindly just cause it sounds good....he is a long term SDA so of course he's gonna toot their horn so to speak...they are a cult just like the JW's....very subtle....they have their own Bible which cults have to agree with their doctrines....be wary and research....
@@stewiefy I belonged to an SDA church for about 3 years and left after I started doing my own research on their doctrines that where not Scriptual like the The Investigative Judgement and Yeshua going from the Holy to the Holy of Holies etc and the "closed door" belief and the fact that many SDA's believe that EGW is a prophetess (read Deuteronomy 18: 18-22) and idolize her (we aren't to idolize ANY human over God)...the fact that much of her writings where plagerized and they knew it but swept it all under the rug because without EGW as their prophetess they're whole foundation would crumble....and the fact that they have their own Bible filled with EGW quotes etc...cults have their own Bibles to agree with their particular peculiar beliefs just like the JW's the Mormons, Islam and all of the other cults out there....these denominations including the SDA's are ALL man-made religions that have their own beliefs....any doctrines that are contrary to Scripture are wrong....I use the KJV and the NKJV... If you feel that way why do you stay....? There are other denominations that keep the Sabbath....google all the churches that do & maybe you can find one in your area.... and how "Christian" is that telling you to find another denomination....I found that they don't like being questioned if it goes against their doctrines....not good...Christians can be the worst hypocrites...anyway when I started hearing things coming from the pulpit that weren't Biblical and especially when they introduced EGW and I looked into her I ran in the opposite direction and never looked back.... I don't feel that someone should stay with a denomination when there is that much discord just to keep the Sabbath....keep it by yourself for a bit...I'm sure you'll find other people who'll keep it with you...maybe even someone in the church who feels the way you do....anyway....God bless
Watching from Port Moresby. Thank you Pastor Mark for clarifying the hidden truths about the Seventh Day Adventist. The Blessed Hope is for all of the human race looking forward to the coming of our Savior, Redeemer and Our eternal King.
I was born a roman Catholic. became a seeker of truth in my high school days. attended lutheran church services. got baptized in a pentecostal church. became a muslim and participated the hajj. then one lonely evening, youtube brought me to amazingworship channel where the choir sings this is my father's world. I was so touched and cried. then I supposed the holy spirit guided me to seventh day Adventists church. thanks God.
mattz cm oh how blessed to be led along into more light...i also found blessings on you tube. PIONEER HEALTH AND MISSIONS IS THE LATEST BLESSING. IF YOU WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THE EARLY ADVENT POSITION DURING THE INCEPTION PHM WILL HELP. WELCOME
I have thoroughly enjoyed listening to your sermon. I have been a born again Christian for 40 years and as long as churches preach Salvation I will attend.
Michael Heathman I sorry Michael, remember Pastor Finley said, you need to ask an Adventist to determine what adventures believe, none of the things that you mentioned are what Adventists believe. Please don't spread falsehoods. Have a good evening. God bless you
And obedience to the statutes of the Book of the Covenant (Ex 19- 24:11) as given to Mosheh which was blood ratified (Ex 24:1-9), shows us worthy of salvation to eternal life - Rev 22:14. Yahusha established this New Covenant, (the Book of the Covenant) under the MelchiTzedek Order when He became the Kohen Ha Gadol (High Priest) for eternity.
How could ANYONE ever believe the Church of Rome is Christ's church? Catholism is steeped in superstition and idolotry, THOUGHT to change Times and Laws (Sabbath), Venerate Mary ahead of Jesus, our Only Lord and Ssviour! The enture Sunday mass is blasphemous and unscriptural! Praise God the Holy Spirit never gave up on you! Study fast that you may remove all doubt and be a light to others in this darkening world!
@@brigittebeltran6701 the same way they could believe that Adventism is, or Jehovah's Winesses are, or Baptist, Presbyterian etc. What "church" goers fail to realize is that ALL denominational (and nondemominational) temples/buildings called churches are false and NONE OF THEM are the true Ecclesia no matter what day they claim to worship on. People debate over their man made doctrines not realizing how much ALL of them are off. First of all, separating what is supposed to be Christ's bride by different doctrines/beliefs automatically disqualifies you as His true church. Scripture is clear that the true Ecclesia is of ONE SPIRIT and ONE (AND THE SAME) doctrine. And NOWHERE does scripture tell man to create doctrines around one part of scripture to form another version of Christ's Church. Second, because you all call these buildings "churches" you automatically disqualify yourselves as the Church because you're giving your spiritual identity to these buildings while claiming with your mouths you are the church. Thats contradicting. And third, because Christ tore down and put an end to the brick and mortar temple and man built it back up without His authorization, they are ALL in opposition to Christ. Because religion is not true relationship with God MANY "church" goers don't truly have the Holy Spirit in them to show them what Christ actually cares most about and wants them to be doing. They lack the understanding of what He did and what it means for them and their fate when He comes to judge. He says more than once in scripture how He is going to judge the nations and based on what, yet many still miss it because they have been brainwashed by religious doctrines OF MEN. I pray that all truly seek God and GENUINE relationship with Him as their FATHER. Many don't have true relationship but are just going through the motions because they scared of judgement. Others just use religious doctrine to feel they are above, better than or more well behaved than others. Either way its wrong and will not get them into the Kingdom until they GENUINELY take on the character of Christ through FAITH.
I am so thankful to God for blessing us with a leader like Pastor Finley, I can proudly share my faith with my non-believer friends because our faith is on the Biblical truth. Thank you, pastor Finley for explaining our beliefs in such a wonderful way. God bless you!!!
After having explanation from Pastor Mark Finley, now I have clear understanding that seventh-day adventist are our brother in Christ. Father in Christ may bless you Pastor Mark Finley and family and your ministry , Amen. Shalom from Indonesia for You.
am an adventist but challenged with the Sabbath here in Saudi Arabia things are different here no resting am in tears deep in my soul I want to go back to Africa Uganda pray for me to start afresh .Grace
you see you already feel condemned there is no wrong time to pray. Pray always because it is right with God that we pray to Him. seek Christ in Spirit ,Worship God
I pray that you’ll be blessed with health & wisdom to continue this wonderful ministry, Pr. Mark Finley so that everyone is encouraged to seek the Lord. Amen! 🙏🏻
I'd usually get information from fancy-looking videos (and those are helpful, informative, and enjoyable). This video, in all it's simplicity, keeps me focused on the message, void of any distractions. And with Pastor Finley basing all the talk solely from the Bible pages, makes my belief legit and me at peace with it.
Thank you sir. I fading from Jehovah's Witness beliefs and u can never do enough in that organization. I will listen over and over to your words as you have taken from God's word and learn to accept the gift of our Savoir.
I was a Roman Catholic church member up to my adolecenty. I'm a seventh day Adventist, just like any other person l became God's word seeker when I was 19 in the year, 2001. I started reading the Bible understood it with the help of Elders, and when I was fully convinced of the word, l left Roman Catholic church. later on, I got baptized in Seventh Adventist church and still l'm. I was raised in a Catholic church. Anyway, later l felt and still feel SDA church is my new found faith. On the other hand, my parents are still Catholics. My parents were not happy with me finding my new faith in Jesus Christ in another church and joining the SDA church . It's a long story if am to narrate it. It is true nothing is impossible with God, l believe am in the right church, God's church and l look to God's grace, peace, hope, faith and of all Love through Jesus Christ's name Amen 🙏🙏!!
God bless you. My husband is a former Catholic, as well. He is now a very happy Adventist Christian. His priest didn't mind him asking questions. The problem was when he questioned the answers. He asked questions about repetitious prayer, praying to Mary, the big emphasis on Mary in the Catholic church when she is not mentioned much in the Bible, Mary being taken to Heaven when the Bible says nothing about that, that the CC chooses tradition over Scripture when there is a discrepancy, why worship on Sunday? His priest didn't like it that my husband could go to the Bible to question his answers from what he'd read in the Bible.
@@joshuaroy3777 ~ The truth is in the Bible. Adventists back up our beliefs with Scripture. I asked God to lead me to a church which taught from the Bible without manmade traditions, and God led me to the SDA church not long after I asked Him. I was impressed that everything I was being taught was from the Bible.
Hi manna, what was concerning? Please subscribe to our channel and you'll be notified about all the new videos that are gonna be released. May God bless you.
Try to research some former SDA Pastor here in youtube they exposed their False Prophet Ellen G. White. Although they have some similar doctrine from other denomination. But we cant they have false doctrine they argue Sunday keeper are not allow to worship and they accused received mark of the beast Sunday keeper. And they said meat are not allow to eat.
This is a powerful presentation and I plan to share it with the rest of my family who are Christians but not Seventh Day-Adventist. Please pray that God will touch the hearts of those who receive it and the Holy Spirit will give them an understanding that this is the BIBLE TRUTH. 🙏🏼
@@evanholloway3127 sounds like you are an embarrassment to yourself. I am a SDA and I know this pastor speaks the truth. What are you besides a bearer of false witness.
Pastor Mark you speak very clear English for a non- native English speaker like me. Praise God for your endowed gift.Keep up the good work in evangelizing the gospel of Christ.
I was born in to a Seventh day Adventist family, went to Adventist elementary school and Academy. I quit going to church in any regular basis. At about age 20. But I always used it to NOT work on Saturday, but I still did what ever I wanted on Saturday. This sermon here by Pastor Finely, has really taught me things that I didn't ever pay attention to before.
@.Sharyne Masterson....consider yourself a blessed girl. I truly believe in Christian education. What a BLESSING.!!!! Please dont tarry any longer, return in full force my dear. There is absolutely nothing out there. Love you and hope to see you in heaven.👍🏼
@@angelabucknor4981 Lol....."nothing out there". Seriously? How do you figure that! Because somebody at Sabbath School tells you that are right, that this is the way.....this makes it so? There are not good Jews, Catholics, Muslim....whatever??? If Adventists is it.....why aren't their numbers up, why aren't there new Churchs? Where are the evangelism meetings??? Why is Adventists health merged with Catholics and advertising and being benefactor's for theatre???
@@margiethomas8 why arent the numbers up...straight and narrow is the path that leads to righteousness but broad is the way that leads to destruction. There are many in other faiths that will be saved i am sure but as long as yr alive you shoulf strive to be perfect in Gods sight
@@margiethomas8 you said why are adventists not more popular..im saying that few ppl will make it into the kingdom of heaven bcs straight and narrow is the path that leads to heaven but broad is the way that leads to hell
Mark Finley has always had such a wonderful way of gracefully and factually explaining some of the finer points of SDA doctrine. The way he solidly backs up every tenet Biblically while never coming across dogmatic is remarkable. What a wonderful video to introduce some basic Adventist beliefs. Thank you pastor Mark for your decades of work for Jesus. You continue to be an inspiration.
I wanna become an adventist but don't have one in my area in Italy I've to take train for 2 hours journey before I can get to church and it's a bit hard for me, I love all the teaches of Mark finley and decided it's the best path to righteousness, I live in the southern part of Italy (FOGGIA) I really love the teaches of pastor Mark finley him is my mentor ❤💙♥
God bless you, I pray that you’ll find a church close to you and SDA friends who are kind, warm and love God…It’s nice to be surrounded with people who are positive and love God. Very encouraging!
maybe God is calling you to start a small group in your home? you do need fellowship, but perhaps also you can meet this need by gathering some friends and family to study the Bible together. May God bless you! :)
Amen, praise God that's the truth 🙏🙏🙏❤️Thank you Pastor Mark Finley. The Holy Spirit is leading all to unlock the true facts about the Seventh-day Adventist.
Cheljoy Geomac I grew up Adventist too. I too used to think how lucky I was that I was born into the true church. But so does every child who grew up in the Morman church or Jehovah witness or catholic or SDA. A child trusts their parents. But I was blessed that my parents sought after truth even after being super good Adventist’s. My Dad was a forefather in getting the big adventist church in Paradise California built ( it just burned down after 60 years in the camp fire.) but my point is we were dedicated SDA members. But my Mother was a truth seeker and dug deeper into the theology. Our eyes were opened. The light flooded in and we could no longer accept the lies. I love the people of the SDA Church and wish for them to open their eyes. They have been frightened into thinking if they step foot outside the SDA Church that they will be lost. It’s a religion of fear. Even EGW set up a fool proof safe guard for herself saying someday people will say she is a false prophet and fall away from the church and be lost. If it’s not in the Bible it’s not God’s message. Adventists twist texts and take out of context texts to fit their rules and justify their means. And they are really good at it! It’s a big money making institution as well with more money on Wall Street than you can possibly imagine. I overheard a conversation from someone who had just been in a big meeting with the big guys from the general conference and he was telling his wife what he heard. I was shocked and knowing how much money my Dad gave to the church I knew his money was part of it. I was a grateful daughter thinking I was born into the true church but when you seek truth.. really seek it as my folks did, God reveals it. I’m sorry you are caught up in believing still what you were born into. But there is hope... you can be born again. A born again Christian is born into the pure gospel where you are born of Christ, not your parents beliefs. In His Love I write this to you that you might begin the process of rebirth. There will be labor pains for sure. It is hard to leave that womb but a baby was not created to stay in the womb and the transition is one of labor and stages, but focus of Jesus alone and you will get through it. He is your Sabbath rest the substance of the sabbath that was a shadow or an example of the rest from the works of required to be acceptable that was yet to come in Christ. And once you break out you will take a big breath of life and from that moment on you will grow in Christ free of the walls that once restricted you. 🙏🏻 not free to sin but free from sin that condemns us.
I am not SDA but I always respect them because I see they are people of great faith and I loved to hear this pastor .I'm a Christian and I love SDA I consider them as my brothers and sisters in Christ.
I was Muslim Lord Jesus saved me by His grace, God almighty directed me to SDA church , it’s true Gods church praise the Lord , God through the Bible reveals to me . I love you Jesus praise the Lord glory to God . If there is any one want to be blessed by sending me iraquí Arabic Bible please feel free /God bless you all
I'd love to help you out. Everyone should have the opportunity to read it. Will an Arabic bible work or do you need specifically an Iraqui Arabic bible?
We're glad that you're part of the SDA church. If you're in need of an Arabic Bible we might be able to help you, please email us about this at info@hopelives365.com
Thank you Pastor Finley,I have been a SDA all my life, I thank you for the review of what we believe! I am sharing it with my special friend. Pray that this will lead him to become a member of our faith. Amen
Pastor Mark THANK YOU for spreading the truth about what SDAs believe... I have been very blessed to have grown up in the SDA Church from the age of 3 and to this day I'm still attending and am hoping to get baptised as soon as this COVID19 pandemic is over... I am now almost 24 and have 2 kids of my own and am bringing my children up in the Church as I was through my family
Can I ask you these eye opening questions regarding the Bible? 🎈1. Protestants claim they go by the Bible only, but I wanted to ask on who you follow as an example; is it Jesus or is it Paul or is it the Apostles or is it all of them or it neither of them? ➡️1Pet.2:21 states "...because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow His steps." ➡️The Apostle Paul in 1Cor.11:1 states "Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ." ➡️Then it says that the household of God "...are built upon the foundation of the Apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone" in Eph.2:20. 🎈2. Now if protestants go by the Bible as they claim, then why are they NOT followers of Jesus, Paul, and the Apostles? ➡️Paul kept the 7th Day Sabbath as his custom in Acts 17:2, Acts 18:4, Acts 13:14,14,42-44. ➡️Paul said to keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread in 1Cor.5:6-8. (The Feast of Unleavened Bread is part of God's Law; see Exod.13:4,6,9-10.) ➡️The Apostles keep Pentecost in Acts 2:1-4. ➡️Jesus kept the 7th Day Sabbath as his custom in Luke 4:16, Mark 2:28. ➡️Jesus kept the Feast of Tabernacles in John 7:2,10,14. 🎈3. I know protestants try to overlook the 7th Day Sabbath as well as God's Festivals in Lev.23, but why do they push on pagan festivals (Christmas (sun god), Halloween- (god of death), Sunday-honors sun god, etc.) which honor other gods that Jesus, Paul and the Apostles didn't keep, which God condemns? (See: E.G. White, 21 Manuscript Release, p.223. E.G.White, Bible Echo, December 15, 1892 par.11. Etc. Google: cuttingedge santa satan ➡️See also Jer.10 about Christmas Tree.) 🎈4. Protestants claim also that Jesus was born December 25th, then tell me where in the Bible does it say Jesus was born December 25th, or in the winter and where it is commanded in scripture to keep Christmas, Halloween, New Year's (Janus = The god of gates), birthdays (honor oneself as a god), etc.? 🎈5. It is clear from the Old Testament and New Testament that God's true people kept the Feast Days of Lev.23, but why are NOT protestants keeping them today when we see in the future that God's people will be keeping God's Sabbaths as well as the New Moons which begin the 1st day of each month on the Hebrew Calendar/Jewish Calendar (Isaiah 66:22-23, Zech.14:1,9,16-19)? (🎼Note: To keep the feasts, you have to know about them. These feasts are in God's Plan for mankind.) 🎈6. It is clear from Peter in 2Pet.2:21 that the way of righteousness is keeping God's Holy Commandment: the 7th Day Sabbath and to NOT do it would be SIN; wouldn't it be SIN according to 1John 3:4? 🎈7. The Presidential Seal has the ➡️name, ➡️title and ➡️territory (Joe Biden, President of the United States) of what one controls. In Rev.14:7, it states "...worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.", which points back to the 4th commandment in Exodus 20:8-11. God's Seal is found in Exodus 20:10-11 = "But the 7th day is the Sabbath of the ➡️LORD thy God...For in 6 days the ➡️LORD made ➡️heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is..." Now it says in Rev.7:2-8 says that God's Seal is protection in Rev.9:4 = "And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have NOT the seal of God in their foreheads." So my question is if we know the Sabbath is the Seal of God; then why would people do the opposite of God's Seal to have the MARK of disobedience (Mark of the Beast in Rev.13:18)? (🎼Note: The Catholic Church says: "Sunday is our MARK of authority...The Church is above the Bible, & the transference of sabbath observance is proof of that fact." = Catholic Record of London, Ontario, Sept.1, 1923. ) 🎈8. Since the Catholic Church is above the Bible, to be in control, to say different than what the Bible says to do, then why are protestant daughters following the pagan doctrines of the RCC or should I say their mother as Rev.17:5 describes it? ➡️Tomorrow's World Booklets you should consider in reading: "Which day is the Christian Sabbath?" "The Holy Days: God's Master Plan" "Satan's Counterfeit Christianity" "God's Church through the Ages" Regarding 1Tim.4:1-5. I was wondering if you know the opposites of the Roman Catholic Church (RCC), for I did NOT know if you knew Dan.8:12 =🚫this is talking about the RCC casting God's Truth to the ground. For the RCC 🚫tried to change God's Law (Dan.7:25)too; see Catholics Commandments by googling it and compare them with God's Commandments in Exodus 20. They took out the 2nd commandment, changed the 4th which is their 3rd and added another "covet". Learning from 1Tim.4:1= it says "...some shall depart from the faith giving heed to seducing spirits, and 🌋doctrines of devils." What most people do NOT know is the faith in 1Tim.4:1 that Catholics and the SDA Church left is mentioned in Acts 20:28-30 as "the Church of God". Also many people don't see the things the RCC and SDA have in common, they both believe in the trinity, Christ's Death Friday and Resurrection Sunday, Elijah and Enoch in hraven, Birthdays which are all false that came from Pagan Rome. You might have NOT known that JW's carry a doctrine from the RCC too, and that is "angels mating with humans". ↗️Now from the following on: we know the RCC and the SDA Church would forbid marriage and command their members NOT to eat the clean meats in Lev.11 and Deut.14. 🚫The RCC forbids priests to marry, but Luke 1:5,13 says the priest Zacharias was married to Elizabeth. 🚫The RCC forbids eating lamb, deer, chicken, beef on Ash Wednesday, Good Friday & all Fridays during Lent. 🚫SDA Ellen G. White testimony of 1885 said, "In this age of the world, as the scenes of earth's history are soon to close and we are about to enter upon the time of trouble such as never was, the fewer the marriages contracted, the better for all, both men and women."--Ellen White, Testimonies, Vol.5, p.366. 🚫SDA say you can eat the clean meats of Lev.11 and Deut.14, but they try to make you vegans and/or vegetarians. In Testimonies (1872), Volume III, p.21, Ellen G. White said her visions gave her "positive testimony against ...flesh meats, butter, ...Further she stated that cheese should never enter the stomach, and that "eggs" should not be placed upon your table" (Testimonies, Volume II, p.68, 400). However the Bible contradicts Mrs White, for Jesus (the God of the Old Testament) ate a meal of bread, butter, milk and beef with Abraham in Gen.18:1-8. it was prophesied that Jesus would eat butter in Isaiah 7:14-15. God's people eat eggs (Job 6:6, Luke 11:11-13). David ate cheese in 2Samuel 17:29. Other facts to consider for SDA's: ↗️Jesus did NOT drink grape juice, He drank wine (oinos) = Matt.11:18-19, John 2:1-11. Paul told Timothy to drink a little wine for his stomach's sake. SDA's are very dishonest to say the Greek word "oinos" is grape juice, Google: oinos.Try getting drunk on grape juice in Eph.5:18. ↗️Even at the communion SDA's have, they observe it quarterly and it is usually on the 7th Day Sabbath, but the SDA Church replaced (Matt.26:17,19,20, Mark 14:1,12,17) Passover the 14th to their own communion which honors the goddess Ashtoreth, they did (1Cor.10:20-22)grape juice instead of wine (1Cor.11:21,25-34, Matt.26:27-30, Mark 14:23-26), and observed it in church instead of (1Cor.11:22, Matt.26:18, Matt.14:14) one's home. (🎼Note: When you don't keep Passover on the right day and don't observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread, then you will be sinning because you will be eating things that rise like bread, cakes, etc. which have leavening (baking soda, baking powder and yeast) ingredients in them. Now when you eat leavening products, you honor the goddess ashtoreth: the queen of heaven = Jer.7:18, 1Kings 11:5,33, 1Samuel 7:3-4, Deut.12:30-31, etc.)
This is a very intelligent approach; for those who are constantly looking for negativity, to have stumbled upon this commentary for the wrong reasons may come away from it with a bit of wisdom and enlightenment. Very smartly presented.
Here's some motivation to stay away. pay close attention to the highlighted words 🧐..... (OFFICIAL SDA BAPTISMAL VOWS) Vow #8: "I ACCEPT the Biblical teaching of spiritual gifts, and believe that the gift of prophecy is one of the IDENTIFYING MARKS of the REMNANT CHURCH." NOW.....let's see what Fundamental Belief #18 has to say about the IDENTIFYING MARK.... FUNDAMENTAL BELIEF #18 The gift of Prophecy: One of the gifts of the Holy Spirit is prophecy. This gift is an IDENTIFYING MARK of the REMNANT CHURCH and was "MANIFESTED" in the ministry of ELLEN G. WHITE. SO....here we see that as a member of the REMNANT CHURCH you "MUST" VOW(promise) to ACCEPT the IDENTIFYING MARK of the REMNANT CHURCH which was MANIFESTED through ELLEN G WHITE'S writings...... THEREFORE YOU "MUST" ACCEPT HER WRITINGS.... NOW....let's see what ELLEN G WHITE had to say about her OWN authority... ELLEN G WHITE: We "MUST" follow the directions given through the Spirit of Prophecy [Mrs. White's writings]. ... God has spoken to us through His Word. He has spoken to us through the Testimonies to the church and through the books that have helped to make plain our present duty and the position that we should now occupy." (Testimonies, Vol. 8, p. 298) So here she makes it clear that you MUST follow her directions That's placing her EQUAL to scripture
@@HL365 wow hide my comments to the public, im on a different account looking at how you hid a few of my comments already. this channel has lost all its credit and will be exposed for it tactics on the world stage. Straight mordern day pharissees!
I'm too seventh day Adventist but I belive every Christian's will follow bible verses and seek more and find that is truth ....Happy sabbath shalom for all fellow brothers and sisters....Glory to God...😊
I'm a young adult who was born into an Adventist family. As a result, I have been surrounded by Adventist beliefs and church lifestyle my entire life. I am glad I have found this video because even as a lifelong Adventist, there are times when I am confused about our own doctrine and ideology. Thank you Pastor Finley for sharing this easy to understand video with direct quotes from the Bible. I will continue to try my best to remain diligent in my Bible study so I too can use the Scripture as my reference for all things I believe in. God bless! :)
its because we don't apply it as we should, we just expect it to osmosis into the brains of the young people, which doesn't work. Following Jesus is a PERSONAL CHOICE. Yes, surrounding the young ones with this lifestyle can provide a hedge of protection so to speak but in the end, we absolutely need to demonstrate the love of God in a way that when the time comes, that the children who are becoming adults will make the choice to make this lifestyle their own - to make the belief of their parents their own. And to stand for Jesus on their own.
It was really inspiring, i`m Adventist too, I'm the only adventist in our family because they don't believe in Jesus and the father thank you so much pastor mark
I had a Vision with Christ when I was 21 years old. It was a lot like Paul's conversion. I was changed spiritually by Christ when he held my hand, I felt his power go through me twice. The first time he removed everything about me in my heart and mind. The second time his power entered me he renewed my spirit and instilled the gospel in my heart. When I came back from him I had to learn everything all over again. I was like an infant, I learned through mimicking people. I didn't speak for four months. When I did start speaking everything was about God and the kingdom of heaven. My heart was overflowing with the word of God. I have been to many churches and listened to lots of pastors over the years. I was surprised of their teachings. Most teachings did not line up spiritually. All scripture is spiritual, Holy and pure. And all truth is revealed in Scripture. I would like to know more about the Seventh-day Adventist churches. I listened to this video, and everything I heard was spiritually sound. I would like to listen to more of their teachings.
you mean only the SDA are a peculiar people or the WHOLE body of Christ? do you believe that the SDA's are the remnant church and if you're not an SDA that you're not going to be saved? curious to know what you believe...
I was once a neighbor of SDAs as their church was near our house. They are very good neighbors and godly. They sang the same gospel songs we Baptist sang in our church.
Baptists? Adventists? None of this is of God. Christ said His church is NOT to be divided by different doctrines/spirits. Seek the Holy Spirit, not man.
I cried at the end of the video. I am a born again Christian consistently with the church for 4 years. My mom hates Born Again because for personal reasons and I understand her. No there was time after my gall bladder operation in 2021, 3 months after the operation, I was waiting for a tricycle to send me home... It was 6 in the evening, and none stopped for me, until I prayed to God to help me, then a tricycle stopped and give me a ride .. He was an adventist, He was about to go home, but when he saw me waiting carrying groceries, He helped me. I WAS very thankful to him. he even preached the gospel about Sabbath until then my heart search for more truths. I always anticipated him visiting our home for bible lessons. I was looking forward to our bible lessons with other adventist people... And now, my heart and my mind is troubled. How can I open up my newfound faith to my pastor? If I opened it up wouldthey be mad at me? I am praying To God to show me what to do.. Until now, I saw this video AND i BELIEVE that God brought me here for an answer.
That is because he has the wrong book. The 1611 Authorized KJV in the perfect living Word of God. :) The NKJV removes the word "Lord" 66 times! The NKJV removes the word God 51 times! The NKJV removes the word "heaven" 50 times! In just the New Testament alone the NKJV removes 2.289 words from the KJV! The NKJV makes over 100,000 word changes! And most will match the NIV, NASV, RSV, or RSV!
How about Bible study and you do daily devotion called Timr Alone with God? If interested, there are groups that do weekly devotion whereby they go book by book,through chapters and they cover the whole Bible. Not only do, but they also do the devotion among themselves. Hope that can help
I truly thank God for making me stumble upon this video that got me what I've been seeking to know about sda. Thank you Mr Finley. I pray to God that through His Holy Spirit and in the name of His Son Jesus Christ , this message gets to reach the whole world. God bless you Mr Finley.
Unknown Person Hello, I am a Seventh day Adventist, and I would just like to clarify and let the Bible defend itself. So what are one of these “false doctrines” you speak of. Try me.
@Michael Heathman Just the tone of all your comments here are all nothing but hate filled to the Adventist belief. It isn't worth replying either but as Pr Mark Finely expressly commented, read the Bible and seek the Truth!
Thnx so much pastor Mark. I'm not a SDA but you spoke the truth and nothing but the truth. I'm not confident with christians who attack SDA on purpose to make them look as a cult. You just confirmed that the SDA's are true followers of christ and that their hart reaches out to what God asks from us. God bless you sir🙏🏽
Thanks for watching. If you have any questions about adventists or would like to join the Seventh-day Adventist Church, please email us at info@hopelives365.com. May God bless you.
Hello. This is not refreshing. It's error. True Seventh Day Adventist understand that GOD'S NAME IS YAHWEH AND HIS NATURE IS DIVINE. SO THE DIVINE NATURE IS IN THE PERSONS OF THE FATHER SON AND HOLY SPIRIT. SO THE PERSONS ARE NOT GOD BUT THE ONE DIVINE NATURE IS IN THE THREE PERSON'S OFFICES DOING HIS OWN WORK. HE JUST TOLD THE WORLD THAT THERE ARE THREE CO ETERNAL GOD'S. THEN USES THE PLURALITY OF THE WORD ELOHIM TO TEACH HIS ERROR. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED TO ADVENTISTS WHEN THEY REJECT THE TRUTH OF RIGHTEOUSNESS BY FAITH. THEN HE GOES ON TO SAY JESUS COVERED YOUR LIFE. THIS IS AN OBJECTIVE JUSTIFICATION. THE LEADERSHIP LEADS PEOPLE INTO THE DARKNESS OF ERROR. DID YOU KNOW WHEN YOU ARE BORN AGAIN IT IS A SUBJECTIVE CHANGE AND IT MAKES YOU SINFREE? 1 JN 3:9 HIS MOUTH IS SPOUTING LIES THAT RESEMBLES THE TRUTH AND DON'T GET ME WRONG. I AM A SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST. I AM NOT A LIKEWARM ADVENTIST AND IF YOU WANT TO BE HOT FOR JESUS YOU WILL ESCAPE FOR YOUR LIFE. SOME TRUTH IS NOT ALL TRUTH. SAYING SOMETHING THAT IS TRUE DOES NOT MEAN ONE HAS THE TRUTH.
Proud to be a Protestant. The title is clever. It draws skeptics, and those who stand for the faith. Seventh Day Adventist are exposed, as being the guardians of truth!😄 Praise God!
I want to a job interview, everything was going well until I said I am a Seventhday Adventist, I didn't get the job because I worship on Saturday, because of my faith, I will stand for my beliefs,after all I am my fathers daughter, a warrior for his heavenly kingdom
God brings us to many trials we shall enter heaven through many tribulations But Jesus is with us you have heard patience of job and have seen the end of the Lord that the Lord is very pitiful and of tender mercy
First time as a seventh day adventist I found the truth of my church...God's church. It's true that I have had arguments with a dear friend of mine...a scientology st and it has always ended with us both being angry at each other. Now I understand. I have only been an adventist since 2014 but I believe to this day it was...it is the right choice...it is the true church. I am 49years old and still praying for God to reveal my purpose. But as my name sake Elizabeth I will keep praying and never lose faith. Happy Sabbath
This is not the first time I felt the Holy Spirit leading me to this church. Praying next sabbath my feet is on seventh day adventist church. 🙏 Currently searching the location of the said church.
I’m a new member of SDA, I was given some grief for my decision to join as there is so many Un-truths that people pass on and give SDA a bad name, it’s actually persecution when lies are told, I prayed to God to show me I was following the right path and I may not have found this video if it weren’t for being in the ER today, thinking I may have signs of a heart attach and I was trying to find prophecy video’s and saw this and thought it was going to be another persecution video, but I take this now as a sign God approves of the path Im on. God Bless all who listen to this and if you still have doubts, pray about it and God will reveal the truth to you!
Jesus teaches To Love the Lord thy God with all you heart all your mind and all your strength and Love your neighbor as yourself. Isn’t it time to stop tearing down our Christian Brothers and Sisters no matter what their denomination, In Revelation Jesus warns the Church Revelations 2:4 you don’t Love me or each other as you first did. I have only this to say about the seventh day Adventist I have been attending, they believe solely in the Bible as the Inspired word from God, they believe we are not saved by works but by the redeeming grace that came from Jesus Christ and the fruit of our belief is letting the 10 commandments be our guide to living righteously, these people are so misunderstood it is unreal.
@Joel Villarreal 1 Thes.4:17. Then WE who are alive and remain...(Paul). Matt.16:28. There are some standing here who will not taste of death till they see the Son of man coming in His glory...(Jesus).
@@Stefan-X24 Matthew 16:28 refers to Jesus’s ascension to his kingdom and 1 Thessalonians 4:17 refers to the people who are alive at the time. For the writer they were obviously alive at the time, and recognized that. That specific wording doesn’t mean he is literally referring to himself or that he would be alive at the time
@@keidengraves6824 Thanks for your comment but I have to disagree. Maybe I'm right maybe I'm wrong but when Paul say "WE who are alive and remain..." he includes himself. Since I don't believe Paul was a false prophet I suspect he was expecting Christ's return in his lifetime.
You CANNOT find no SDA CHURCH IN THE BIBLE. BUT YOU CAN FIND IT IN ELLEN AND JAMES BOOK THAT IS NOT THE LORDS CHYRCH . IN ROMANS 16: 16 THE CHURCH OF CHRIST SALUTE YOU. YOU NEED TO OBEY THE DOCTRINE OF CHRIST FOR THE SAVING OF YOUR SOULS
Mark i. Met you in Portland Maine a few years back when you spoke at the university of Maine I brought with me a young budist boy from Thailand to hear you speak about your trip to the holy land to prove some of the facts written in the Bible he and I enjoyed your talk and found mush inspriation that evening from your talk I thank you for all you do. Keep up. The great work you are one of gods heroes here on earth your friend bob
Only those born into this cult or those ignorant of the scripture can be misled by this churches heresies. I continue to pray for those in this church truly seeking God. He will lead you out and to The Truth
@@josephswaine6890 I am unsure which "Adventist doctrine" you may believe but let me see if you believe any of the following Adventist beliefs or the Bible (which I will put side by side of Ellen G. White (EGW)/Adventist Church beliefs). Who bares our sins, Jesus or Satan? 1 Peter 2:24, “Who HIS OWN SELF BARE OUR SINS in his own body on a tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.” Interestingly, when you look up the Greek word “bare” for this verse, it specifically means: (ἀναφέρειν τὰς ἁμαρτίας ἐπί τὸ ξύλον, 1 Peter 2:24 ) to bear sins up on the cross, namely, in order to expiate them by suffering death, [cf. Winer's Grammar, 428f (399)]). Definition of Expiate: “atone for guilt or sin.” SEE ALSO: Hebrews 9:28, 1 John 2:1-2 (Definition of Propitiation: “atonement, especially that of Jesus Christ"). 1 John 3:5, 1 John 4:10, Hebrews 1:3, Galatians 1:3-4, and Revelation 1:5. EGW: “It was seen also, that while the sin offering pointed to Christ as a sacrifice, and the High Priest represented Christ as the mediator, the scapegoat typified Satan, the author of sin, UPON WHOM THE SINS OF THE TRULY REPENTANT WILL FINALLY BE PLACED… Christ will place all these sins UPON SATAN” (Great Controversy, pg. 422… pg. 485). Clearly the Seventh Day Adventist church preaches another gospel when it preaches Satan bares our sins and the Bible, authored by the Holy Spirit preaches Jesus bares our sins. OR....... What is the New Testament seal of God? Ephesians 4:30, “And grieve not THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD, WHEREBY YE ARE SEALED unto the day of redemption.” 2 Corinthians 1:22, “Who hath also SEALED us, and given us the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.” Ephesians 1:13, “In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were SEALED WITH THAT HOLY SPIRIT of promise” The promise of Acts 2:33, “Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.” What “hath he (GOD) shed forth”? Acts 10:45, “And they of the circumcision which BELIEVED were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.” Those of the circumcision WHO BELIEVED were astonished because the promised gift, the Holy Ghost, the seal of the New Covenant was given to the gentiles as well. They were astonished because this, the receiving of the Holy Ghost, meant Gentiles ARE sealed to God just the same as they (the Jews who believed) are sealed to God!! There are other Bible verses but these are very CLEAR. The Holy Spirit is the Seal of God for the second covenant generation. EGW: “The enemies of God’s law from ministers down to the least among them, have a new conception of truth and duty. Too late they see that the Sabbath of the fourth commandment IS THE SEAL OF THE LIVING GOD.” (Great Controversy pg. 640) CLEARLY, the Bible and EGW do NOT agree; I will take the Bible and forsake EGW the false prophet and her religion. Read Ephesians chapter 2 and when you come to the end of that chapter you will see the Seventh Day Adventist church was NEVER the true church BECAUSE the True Church, God's temple, is made up by those who truly believe and God has joined with them by/through the Holy Spirit. There are many heresies in this religion because this religion did not come from God. I am sorry I missed your reply a year ago. If I have shown you Truth today we both have the prayers of Cathy Cadungon to thank. As without her message to me I would still have missed your question from a year ago. God hears my prayers to bring all into His light and had this sister, a person who is looking to follow Jesus, write me so I would not miss this opportunity to show what the Bible teaches. God truly works in wonderfully mysterious ways! If you would like to know more about what other truths are twisted by this religion, seek God in the Bible NOT in a man (or woman's) religion. Only the gospel of Christ will save you.
I came out of Babylonian religious system 20 years ago. I'm not a 7th day Adventist, yet I find myself in agreement with the teachings and doctrine of your church most of the time. I only follow and listen to Adventist pastors and teachers on social media. Thank you for the humble spirit and sound doctrine in your teaching. No other " religious " organizations even come close to scripture like yours does. I really enjoy listening and learning from you all. GOD BLESS.

GOD be with you. Keep your eyes on Jesus our Lord and Savior.
Can I ask you these eye opening questions regarding the Bible? 🎈1. Protestants claim they go by the Bible only, but I wanted to ask on who you follow as an example; is it Jesus or is it Paul or is it the Apostles or is it all of them or it neither of them? ➡️1Pet.2:21 states "...because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow His steps." ➡️The Apostle Paul in 1Cor.11:1 states "Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ." ➡️Then it says that the household of God "...are built upon the foundation of the Apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone" in Eph.2:20. 🎈2. Now if protestants go by the Bible as they claim, then why are they NOT followers of Jesus, Paul, and the Apostles? ➡️Paul kept the 7th Day Sabbath as his custom in Acts 17:2, Acts 18:4, Acts 13:14,14,42-44. ➡️Paul said to keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread in 1Cor.5:6-8. (The Feast of Unleavened Bread is part of God's Law; see Exod.13:4,6,9-10.) ➡️The Apostles keep Pentecost in Acts 2:1-4. ➡️Jesus kept the 7th Day Sabbath as his custom in Luke 4:16, Mark 2:28. ➡️Jesus kept the Feast of Tabernacles in John 7:2,10,14. 🎈3. I know protestants try to overlook the 7th Day Sabbath as well as God's Festivals in Lev.23, but why do they push on pagan festivals (Christmas (sun god), Halloween- (god of death), Sunday-honors sun god, etc.) which honor other gods that Jesus, Paul and the Apostles didn't keep, which God condemns? (See: E.G. White, 21 Manuscript Release, p.223. E.G.White, Bible Echo, December 15, 1892 par.11. Etc. Google: cuttingedge santa satan ➡️See also Jer.10 about Christmas Tree.) 🎈4. Protestants claim also that Jesus was born December 25th, then tell me where in the Bible does it say Jesus was born December 25th, or in the winter and where it is commanded in scripture to keep Christmas, Halloween, New Year's (Janus = The god of gates), birthdays (honor oneself as a god), etc.? 🎈5. It is clear from the Old Testament and New Testament that God's true people kept the Feast Days of Lev.23, but why are NOT protestants keeping them today when we see in the future that God's people will be keeping God's Sabbaths as well as the New Moons which begin the 1st day of each month on the Hebrew Calendar/Jewish Calendar (Isaiah 66:22-23, Zech.14:1,9,16-19)? (🎼Note: To keep the feasts, you have to know about them. These feasts are in God's Plan for mankind.) 🎈6. It is clear from Peter in 2Pet.2:21 that the way of righteousness is keeping God's Holy Commandment: the 7th Day Sabbath and to NOT do it would be SIN; wouldn't it be SIN according to 1John 3:4? 🎈7. The Presidential Seal has the ➡️name, ➡️title and ➡️territory (Joe Biden, President of the United States) of what one controls. In Rev.14:7, it states "...worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.", which points back to the 4th commandment in Exodus 20:8-11. God's Seal is found in Exodus 20:10-11 = "But the 7th day is the Sabbath of the ➡️LORD thy God...For in 6 days the ➡️LORD made ➡️heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is..." Now it says in Rev.7:2-8 says that God's Seal is protection in Rev.9:4 = "And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have NOT the seal of God in their foreheads." So my question is if we know the Sabbath is the Seal of God; then why would people do the opposite of God's Seal to have the MARK of disobedience (Mark of the Beast in Rev.13:18)? (🎼Note: The Catholic Church says: "Sunday is our MARK of authority...The Church is above the Bible, & the transference of sabbath observance is proof of that fact." = Catholic Record of London, Ontario, Sept.1, 1923. ) 🎈8. Since the Catholic Church is above the Bible, to be in control, to say different than what the Bible says to do, then why are protestant daughters following the pagan doctrines of the RCC or should I say their mother as Rev.17:5 describes it? ➡️Tomorrow's World Booklets you should consider in reading: "Which day is the Christian Sabbath?" "The Holy Days: God's Master Plan" "Satan's Counterfeit Christianity" "God's Church through the Ages" Regarding 1Tim.4:1-5. I was wondering if you know the opposites of the Roman Catholic Church (RCC), for I did NOT know if you knew Dan.8:12 =🚫this is talking about the RCC casting God's Truth to the ground. For the RCC 🚫tried to change God's Law (Dan.7:25)too; see Catholics Commandments by googling it and compare them with God's Commandments in Exodus 20. They took out the 2nd commandment, changed the 4th which is their 3rd and added another "covet". Learning from 1Tim.4:1= it says "...some shall depart from the faith giving heed to seducing spirits, and 🌋doctrines of devils." What most people do NOT know is the faith in 1Tim.4:1 that Catholics and the SDA Church left is mentioned in Acts 20:28-30 as "the Church of God". Also many people don't see the things the RCC and SDA have in common, they both believe in the trinity, Christ's Death Friday and Resurrection Sunday, Birthdays which are all false that came from Pagan Rome. You might have NOT known that JW's carry a doctrine from the RCC too, and that is "angels mating with humans". ↗️Now from the following on: we know the RCC and the SDA Church would forbid marriage and command their members NOT to eat the clean meats in Lev.11 and Deut.14. 🚫The RCC forbids priests to marry, but Luke 1:5,13 says the priest Zacharias was married to Elizabeth. 🚫The RCC forbids eating lamb, deer, chicken, beef on Ash Wednesday, Good Friday & all Fridays during Lent. 🚫SDA Ellen G. White testimony of 1885 said, "In this age of the world, as the scenes of earth's history are soon to close and we are about to enter upon the time of trouble such as never was, the fewer the marriages contracted, the better for all, both men and women."--Ellen White, Testimonies, Vol.5, p.366. 🚫SDA say you can eat the clean meats of Lev.11 and Deut.14, but they try to make you vegans and/or vegetarians. In Testimonies (1872), Volume III, p.21, Ellen G. White said her visions gave her "positive testimony against ...flesh meats, butter, ...Further she stated that cheese should never enter the stomach, and that "eggs" should not be placed upon your table" (Testimonies, Volume II, p.68, 400). However the Bible contradicts Mrs White, for Jesus (the God of the Old Testament) ate a meal of bread, butter, milk and beef with Abraham in Gen.18:1-8. it was prophesied that Jesus would eat butter in Isaiah 7:14-15. God's people eat eggs (Job 6:6, Luke 11:11-13). David ate cheese in 2Samuel 17:29. Other facts to consider for SDA's: ↗️Jesus did NOT drink grape juice, He drank wine (oinos) = Matt.11:18-19, John 2:1-11. Paul told Timothy to drink a little wine for his stomach's sake. SDA's are very dishonest to say the Greek word "oinos" is grape juice, Google: oinos.Try getting drunk on grape juice in Eph.5:18. ↗️Even at the communion SDA's have, they observe it quarterly and it is usually on the 7th Day Sabbath, but the SDA Church replaced (Matt.26:17,19,20, Mark 14:1,12,17) Passover the 14th to their own communion which honors the goddess Ashtoreth, they did (1Cor.10:20-22)grape juice instead of wine (1Cor.11:21,25-34, Matt.26:27-30, Mark 14:23-26), and observed it in church instead of (1Cor.11:22, Matt.26:18, Matt.14:14) one's home. (🎼Note: When you don't keep Passover on the right day and don't observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread, then you will be sinning because you will be eating things that rise like bread, cakes, etc. which have leavening (baking soda, baking powder and yeast) ingredients in them. Now when you eat leavening products, you honor the goddess ashtoreth: the queen of heaven = Jer.7:18, 1Kings 11:5,33, 1Samuel 7:3-4, Deut.12:30-31, etc.)

That is all good but I warn you not to trust any man made religion! SDA don't believe in the lake of fire or eternal damnation for wll eternity and the Bible teaches us different! They will tell you what you want to hear but I'd you pay attention and listen to them for awhile you will see the lies! If you READ Bible and pray for a Holy Spirit to reveal all truth to you as He did me, then you won't be deceived! There is only 1 religion and that is Christianity! The Christ! Being Christ -like! Everything else won't hold water on judgement day! Be careful Be very careful of false prophets! Even Satan can disguise himself as an angel of light!!

the bible says in James 3:17 But the wisdom that is from above is firstly pure, then peaceful, kind, benign, full of mercy and good fruits, without uncertainty or hypocrisy. 18 And the fruit of justice is sown in peace for those who make peace. Those are the characteristics of the wisdom of God, so what characteristics does nudism have? It is pure peaceful, kind, benign and bears good fruits. So, if the characteristics coincide, what is the conclusion that nudism is considered within the group of practices that is in the wisdom of what is high because it meets the biblical characteristics of the wisdom from above according to the bible and therefore it is not a sin and everyone who says that it is not like that simply wants to reject what the bible says and then give another meaning to the bible
Thanks for the true word of God . I am also an Adventist , God bless you
You can't call yourself a born again Christian because you call yourself a man made religion! There is only 1 way to the Father and it is by Jesus Christ! There is an eternal lake of fire that God will cast everyone in who continues to self deceive themselves. SDA are hung up on the Sabbath instead of all the 10 commandments! I believe strongly in the Sabbath and that's the only true link I have with them. But I tell you truthfully! There is only Christianity. Jesus Christ The King of Kings and nothing else will be in Heaven, not even man's opinions!!

Hiy
I was never an Adventist, I became one 25yrs now and still going... the church teaches bible based truth I'm now the first Elder of my local church... I thank God for his word and being apart of this Seventh day Adventist Church... and thank you pastor Mark!!
Can I ask you these eye opening questions regarding the Bible?
🎈1. Protestants claim they go by the Bible only, but I wanted to ask on who you follow as an example; is it Jesus or is it Paul or is it the Apostles or is it all of them or it neither of them?
➡️1Pet.2:21 states "...because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow His steps."
➡️The Apostle Paul in 1Cor.11:1 states "Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ."
➡️Then it says that the household of God "...are built upon the foundation of the Apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone" in Eph.2:20.
🎈2. Now if protestants go by the Bible as they claim, then why are they NOT followers of Jesus, Paul, and the Apostles?
➡️Paul kept the 7th Day Sabbath as his custom in Acts 17:2, Acts 18:4, Acts 13:14,14,42-44.
➡️Paul said to keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread in 1Cor.5:6-8. (The Feast of Unleavened Bread is part of God's Law; see Exod.13:4,6,9-10.)
➡️The Apostles keep Pentecost in Acts 2:1-4.
➡️Jesus kept the 7th Day Sabbath as his custom in Luke 4:16, Mark 2:28.
➡️Jesus kept the Feast of Tabernacles in John 7:2,10,14.
🎈3. I know protestants try to overlook the 7th Day Sabbath as well as God's Festivals in Lev.23, but why do they push on pagan festivals (Christmas (sun god), Halloween- (god of death), Sunday-honors sun god, etc.) which honor other gods that Jesus, Paul and the Apostles didn't keep, which God condemns?
(See: E.G. White, 21 Manuscript Release, p.223. E.G.White, Bible Echo, December 15, 1892 par.11. Etc. Google: cuttingedge santa satan ➡️See also Jer.10 about Christmas Tree.)
🎈4. Protestants claim also that Jesus was born December 25th, then tell me where in the Bible does it say Jesus was born December 25th, or in the winter and where it is commanded in scripture to keep Christmas, Halloween, New Year's (Janus = The god of gates), birthdays (honor oneself as a god), etc.?
🎈5. It is clear from the Old Testament and New Testament that God's true people kept the Feast Days of Lev.23, but why are NOT protestants keeping them today when we see in the future that God's people will be keeping God's Sabbaths as well as the New Moons which begin the 1st day of each month on the Hebrew Calendar/Jewish Calendar (Isaiah 66:22-23, Zech.14:1,9,16-19)? (🎼Note: To keep the feasts, you have to know about them. These feasts are in God's Plan for mankind.)
🎈6. It is clear from Peter in 2Pet.2:21 that the way of righteousness is keeping God's Holy Commandment: the 7th Day Sabbath and to NOT do it would be SIN; wouldn't it be SIN according to 1John 3:4?
🎈7. The Presidential Seal has the ➡️name, ➡️title and ➡️territory (Joe Biden, President of the United States) of what one controls. In Rev.14:7, it states "...worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.", which points back to the 4th commandment in Exodus 20:8-11. God's Seal is found in Exodus 20:10-11 = "But the 7th day is the Sabbath of the ➡️LORD thy God...For in 6 days the ➡️LORD made ➡️heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is..." Now it says in Rev.7:2-8 says that God's Seal is protection in Rev.9:4 = "And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have NOT the seal of God in their foreheads." So my question is if we know the Sabbath is the Seal of God; then why would people do the opposite of God's Seal to have the MARK of disobedience (Mark of the Beast in Rev.13:18)? (🎼Note: The Catholic Church says: "Sunday is our MARK of authority...The Church is above the Bible, & the transference of sabbath observance is proof of that fact." = Catholic Record of London, Ontario, Sept.1, 1923. )
🎈8. Since the Catholic Church is above the Bible, to be in control, to say different than what the Bible says to do, then why are protestant daughters following the pagan doctrines of the RCC or should I say their mother as Rev.17:5 describes it?
➡️Tomorrow's World Booklets you should consider in reading:
"Which day is the Christian Sabbath?"
"The Holy Days: God's Master Plan"
"Satan's Counterfeit Christianity"
"God's Church through the Ages"
Regarding 1Tim.4:1-5. I was wondering if you know the opposites of the Roman Catholic Church (RCC), for I did NOT know if you knew Dan.8:12 =🚫this is talking about the RCC casting God's Truth to the ground. For the RCC 🚫tried to change God's Law (Dan.7:25)too; see Catholics Commandments by googling it and compare them with God's Commandments in Exodus 20. They took out the 2nd commandment, changed the 4th which is their 3rd and added another "covet". Learning from 1Tim.4:1= it says "...some shall depart from the faith giving heed to seducing spirits, and 🌋doctrines of devils." What most people do NOT know is the faith in 1Tim.4:1 that Catholics and the SDA Church left is mentioned in Acts 20:28-30 as "the Church of God". Also many people don't see the things the RCC and SDA have in common, they both believe in the trinity, Christ's Death Friday and Resurrection Sunday, Birthdays which are all false that came from Pagan Rome. You might have NOT known that JW's carry a doctrine from the RCC too, and that is "angels mating with humans". ↗️Now from the following on: we know the RCC and the SDA Church would forbid marriage and command their members NOT to eat the clean meats in Lev.11 and Deut.14. 🚫The RCC forbids priests to marry, but Luke 1:5,13 says the priest Zacharias was married to Elizabeth. 🚫The RCC forbids eating lamb, deer, chicken, beef on Ash Wednesday, Good Friday & all Fridays during Lent. 🚫SDA Ellen G. White testimony of 1885 said, "In this age of the world, as the scenes of earth's history are soon to close and we are about to enter upon the time of trouble such as never was, the fewer the marriages contracted, the better for all, both men and women."--Ellen White, Testimonies, Vol.5, p.366. 🚫SDA say you can eat the clean meats of Lev.11 and Deut.14, but they try to make you vegans and/or vegetarians. In Testimonies (1872), Volume III, p.21, Ellen G. White said her visions gave her "positive testimony against ...flesh meats, butter, ...Further she stated that cheese should never enter the stomach, and that "eggs" should not be placed upon your table" (Testimonies, Volume II, p.68, 400). However the Bible contradicts Mrs White, for Jesus (the God of the Old Testament) ate a meal of bread, butter, milk and beef with Abraham in Gen.18:1-8. it was prophesied that Jesus would eat butter in Isaiah 7:14-15. God's people eat eggs (Job 6:6, Luke 11:11-13). David ate cheese in 2Samuel 17:29.
Other facts to consider for SDA's: ↗️Jesus did NOT drink grape juice, He drank wine (oinos) = Matt.11:18-19, John 2:1-11. Paul told Timothy to drink a little wine for his stomach's sake. SDA's are very dishonest to say the Greek word "oinos" is grape juice, Google: oinos.Try getting drunk on grape juice in Eph.5:18. ↗️Even at the communion SDA's have, they observe it quarterly and it is usually on the 7th Day Sabbath, but the SDA Church replaced (Matt.26:17,19,20, Mark 14:1,12,17) Passover the 14th to their own communion which honors the goddess Ashtoreth, they did (1Cor.10:20-22)grape juice instead of wine (1Cor.11:21,25-34, Matt.26:27-30, Mark 14:23-26), and observed it in church instead of (1Cor.11:22, Matt.26:18, Matt.14:14) one's home. (🎼Note: When you don't keep Passover on the right day and don't observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread, then you will be sinning because you will be eating things that rise like bread, cakes, etc. which have leavening (baking soda, baking powder and yeast) ingredients in them. Now when you eat leavening products, you honor the goddess ashtoreth: the queen of heaven = Jer.7:18, 1Kings 11:5,33, 1Samuel 7:3-4, Deut.12:30-31, etc.)
It's a cult that is trying take you back to the curse of the law, and EGW was a false prophetess. They don't even rely on the bible alone they seek interpretation of the scriptures from EGW's skewed extra biblical teachings contrary to what the presenter is saying here. I used to be an SDA btw so I know what I'm saying. They believe Michael the archangel is Jesus and they believe that the soul sleeps when we die which are unscriptural heretic teachings of EGW.
They believe in salvation by works I know that, the presenter is only being loyal to the cult so he won't admit.
Satan already sifted u as wheat, don't try to have others follow ur path to the pit...
Of course I expect nothing less but a typical response from a blind follower trying to defend their cult. I pray that one day your eyes be opened, and you read your bible.

I see now that SDA's have it ABSOLUTELY right, and that is a work of the enemy to keep this truth from ANYONE!!! I am sooooooo grateful to my friend who was newly saved and taught me about this. I have been walking SO MUCH CLOSER with the Lord since then!!!! Thank you sooooooo much and I pray for the spread of these truths!!!

It is always wonderful to hear people coming closer to GOD cause the world is slowly coming to an. End.

Praise God! for this breaking down of the Seventh Adventist Beliefs. My mother's older sister was married to a S.A.Preacher but our family was Wesleyan & Catholic members. Due to grandpa as a Merchant and a Farmer, he had the money to put us his grandkids in Wesleyan Schools. I had never understood S.A.Beliefs. All I remember, they were strict with Sabbath, Strict Diets, no Pork, no Coffee, certain Seafoods and of course no smokes and liquors. Appreciate your teachings Pastir Dr. Finley, this is really an eye opener for our family members. I already informed my other cousins all over the States and in the South Pacific. God bless.
Oooh lordy, I read here in this comment the SDAers have a few dietery restrictions by tradition. Who knew!
Hi Mark, In 1956 I was given as a gift, a Bible after I was baptized into Christ by a Paster of the Seventh Day Adventist Church, sometimes after, a priest convinced me that I was keeping the Jewish Sabbath, so I left and got involved with other religions, but each time I started to study and pray, I would end up in the SDA Church and each time something or someone would pull me away from the Church. Since 2017 the same thing had to happen after I prayed to God and asked Him if He would lead me to the people that keep the commandments of God and have the faith of Jesus, through a chance meeting with a man who was an SDA Christian. I believe God answered my prayers, I went back to the SDA Church in 2017 this is the 3rd time I've been back, I've gone full circle, and I got re-baptized last month Nov. 2019. The journey is over and the Lord has bought me back to where I belong. This is the answer to my prayers, and this is, where I intend to stay.
@@BiblicalTeachings. I'm sorry you've got your wires crossed, never did the SDA Church teach that Jesus came secretly, only the Jehovah"s Witnesses teach that Jesus came in 1914. The millerite movement taught that Jesus would return in 1844, it was a great disappointment, out of that movement, came the remnant church the Seventh Day Adventist that keeps the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. Advent means the second coming of Jesus Christ, we are waiting for his imminent return, it won't be in secret, He will come with the clouds of Heaven which mean the Angels, and every eye will see Him.

Amen may God hold your hands n never leave go back again
@@barry9604 the usage of "Adventist" in Seventh Day Adventist ought to be a reminder that the pioneers got it so terribly wrong. It refers to the false teaching of a false christ that was to return in 1844. The name is stuck with you like mud.
@@LoCoWi Don't you believe that God answers prayers
@@thenowchurch6419 So you don"t believe that God can and will answer prayers, don"t you believe in prayer. in my comment, it was all about me praying and asking God to help me find the commandment-keeping people. And he did!!!
I met Pr. Finley over lunch years ago. What impressed me the most about him was the genuine insterest he took in a simple worker I was at the time, He took time to ask so many questions about my work and family although there were so many other people (important) at the table, too. Very humble man.
Really pastor you are a blessing to us, thank you for the elaboration , I became a seventh day Adventist in February 2022 but ever since then, I have found only peace, hope and growth in spirit day by day in Jesus'name through the Adventist,I love you so much all Adventist across the world who are patiently waiting for Jesus.

God bless India!
Nicely presented !! We came into the Seventh Day Adventist church about 15+ years ago, before which we knew nothing about them.
It has been an incredible blessing. I had come to the Bible which led me to Christ. We were for a time at a couple of 'normal' (nominal) Sunday keeping churches.
As my walk with Christ grew closer - I got deeper and deeper in scripture and kept finding things in scripture which did not match up with scripture.
Studying these I found that these came as traditions from the church of the dark ages. One of these was the Sabbath commandment.
Having never even heard there was such as thing as the Adventist church, we prayed for God to show us who is teaching these truths and how should we keep God's Sabbath.
Jesus and the Apostles and EVERy writer of the old and new testament (some books written decades after the death of Christ.
A couple days later - when setting up a new TV set in a workout room - It was scanning the channels and I heard the word 'Sabbath' as it clicked through its scan.
Went back and founud Doug Batchelor of Amazing Facts, who was talking about the Sabbath. Loved the teachings, it matched scripture and ditched the false doctrines.
Found that Sacramento Central Church was only about 15 miles away - we started going. It was an AMAZING revelation and growth, we got involved in the media ministry.
Later God moved us out to another church to work their media ministry.
The point is - it has been the most incredible blessing, the Truth really will set you free. I am a staunch bible conservative and my engineering background means that the details really matter to me.
I pray for all those out there to allow God to Bless you with scriptural truths.
I've bookmarked this video - it could be great for sharing with others that have misconceptions about the Seventh Day Adventist church - sadly most are afraid to hurt our feelings and don't bring up the issues they see. Please bring it on - Adventists have a biblical reason for all the doctrines. But as Mark Finley points out if we are obedient we will know the doctrines.
Most persons that I find having 'issues' are people that don't want to be 'inconvenienced' by really following the teachings of Christ.
I cringe when they tell me things like "doctrine doesn't matter - just love Jesus".
(1) Over and over Scripture speaks of the importance of doctrine. You don't even know who Jesus is without doctrine. Is He the brother of Satan asd one denomination teaches? Certainly not.
(2) And how do we love Jesus? Who is the best authority on that. Jesus of course, ...and Jesus said "If you love me keep my commandments" (John 14:15)
My plea is for those to reevaluate their spiritual life and relationship with Christ and make a commitment to consecrate their lives to Him, ...to dig in deeper to follow scriptural truths and leave the false doctrines of mankind behind. Its been a most incredible blessing indeed.
Its true
Amazing experience brother. I'm certain it was the mercy of God that brought you to watch that Amazing Facts channel not coincidentally. Praise God
Relentless, if it weren´t for keeping the sabbath, you sound like a catholic. God bless.
The lovkdowns have kept me in my house and also listening to Gospels from different churches.I grew up a Catholic. And changed to Pentecostal when I moved overseas. Reading my Bible and having questions about the Sabbath. I did my research and found out it was the Roman Emperors / Popes of long ago who changed The Lords Day to Sunday. Not God .so already that was a disobedience. TO change The Creators Law.. If one doesn't want to keep God's Sabbath.DON'T PRAY TO HIM. UNLESS its another God somewhere who's not Yahweh.
Now I try to keep The Sabbath .(TRY ) I can't go to a Adventist gathering.where I live its 4 hrs drive to get to the nearest Adventist church. Can I just observe The Sabbath and read my Bible.without going to any church. Everytime I go to church on Sunday,my ❤ pains. What can I do. ???
@@bernadetblack2871 Being able to regularly attend is certainly a blessing - especially if we can be really involved. That being said - we can only do what we can do -God understands circumstaces. But we can pray that opportunities arise, and that through your witness local friends and neighbors may come to these truths allowing you to study together - the nucleus of a new church!! Praise God for His mercy in helping us into new truths that bring us ever closer to our Lamb of God!
I was raised a Catholic after being asked if I believe the Bible is the word of God, I, of course, said yes, The question was if I can show you from the Bible things that differ from what you believe would you look. Bible Studies then lead me to the truth and I became baptised Adventist by immersion 29 years ago Praise God.
That is a powerful testimony. Thanks for sharing.
Yes pastor.We need to know the truth n it will set us free.We need to base our faith in the Bible alone.
Glory be to the Lord
I've just started looking into SDA this week... I was always told it was a cult, but I find myself very interested in the message... I watched from Babylon to America, got me curious! I was raised Catholic.
That's GREAT! However, if you haven't been baptized in the precious name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of sins, all you did was get wet! Jesus, in Matthew 28:19 commanded His disciples to baptize people in the 'NAME' of, the Father (TITLE), the Son (TITLE) Holy Ghost (TITLE).
You were born, which makes you a son! If you are married, this makes you a husband. If you have children, this makes you a DAD! Father, Husband, Dad, are your TITLES! Those are NOT your NAME!
Father, Son and Holy Ghost, according to Matthew 3:16, are TITLES! Jesus said to be baptized "IN THE NAME OF"! Thus, the Father has a name, the Son has a name, and the Holy Ghost has a name! If this were not true, why did Jesus say it that way? What is that name? I'll prove it to you that that name is JESUS CHRIST!
John 5:43 I am come in my Father’s name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.
Thus, the name of the Father is Jesus! This is perfect English.
What is the name of the Holy Ghost? Most people would answer that the Holy Ghost has no name! I will prove with this next verse that he DOES!
John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
Thus, the name of the Holy Ghost is Jesus! let me take it one step further:
(1 John 3:16) "Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren."
If your bible says "By this we know what love is" or something like that, then you own a corrupt perversion of a book with the words, Holy Bible, written on it.
I study from ONLY inspired word of God, the King James Bible! No other book can claim this!
My own search is long and wonderfully filled with The Holy Spirit’s leading. I have been a Seventh Day Adventist for 48 years and still My Lord Leads me! My desire is to tell my story, the Lord is leading me to prepare for His soon return. He is Good, He is very Good, my prayer is that all will taste and find His goodness personally! It is the only way to truly know Him. His Word is True!
Amen! Praise the Lord for His leading in your life.
Thank our loving GOD for using the Adventists to spread his message. May He bless and keep all who seek him and guide others to him. All glory to HIM.

Thank you for this. I was raised Adventist. I was never really mentored, cared for and I fell away. I was calling Adventists legalistic. But two years ago, I found Jesus. REALLY found Him. Or He found me is what I should say. The past two years, I have been on a walk, looking for the truth. I am slowly coming back to Adventists. I think I was just not exposed to the correct Adventists in my youth. Thank you so much
Praise God that you are back in the church. May God bless you.
Wonderful to read Melissa. I too left as a youth and came back at 61 years. The pull is so strong to come back to the truth. Keep looking up, it won't be long. 🙋♀️🙏🌺
We are searching for the truth. Aren't we? I have seen so little of it also. Just like you. It is nice to have the holes in our hearts filled by 👍 good for once. Now I see how empty my heart really was. I talk too much sometimes. God be in our hearts and mind. K, bye
God is so good cause He preserved truth even until now. Praise God
Yes, I am so very thankful that the Word of Yahuah (God) records very clearly that the Feasts of Yahuah (God) are indeed to be observed today as in times past. What a blessing it is to present ourselves before Yahuah (God) on His Appointed Times , especially on His Premier Flagship Feast - the Seventh Day Sabbath! See Lev 23:2,3.
But you still suffer that false prophetess jezebel, a.k.a. ellen white from gorham. Ya'll pretty slick for sure!!!!
Yes, God did preserve truth, cuz he is the same always, never changes, God is The Alpha - and Omega, his Love for us humans is immensely great.
amen in kiswahili amina
Amen and Amen.... I was born a Catholic and attended a minor Seminary but after seeking God's truth I am now a strong SDA.... It is the truth we are seeking and the Holy Spirit always direct us to know the truth.
Dear brother/son/grand son, be a Christian(Acts 11:26; 1Peter 4:15-16) not an SDA, a Catholic, a Baptist, a Pentecostal or whatever factional name one would like to be called after(Acts 11:26; 1Peter 4:15-16).
Salvation is only in the name of Jesus (Acts 4:10-12). Once you have received salvation, God will guide you where you can get help for spiritual growth and maturity (1Corinthians 1:10- 13; 1Corinthians 3:1-4)

Can I ask you these eye opening questions regarding the Bible?
🎈1. Protestants claim they go by the Bible only, but I wanted to ask on who you follow as an example; is it Jesus or is it Paul or is it the Apostles or is it all of them or it neither of them?
➡️1Pet.2:21 states "...because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow His steps."
➡️The Apostle Paul in 1Cor.11:1 states "Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ."
➡️Then it says that the household of God "...are built upon the foundation of the Apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone" in Eph.2:20.
🎈2. Now if protestants go by the Bible as they claim, then why are they NOT followers of Jesus, Paul, and the Apostles?
➡️Paul kept the 7th Day Sabbath as his custom in Acts 17:2, Acts 18:4, Acts 13:14,14,42-44.
➡️Paul said to keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread in 1Cor.5:6-8. (The Feast of Unleavened Bread is part of God's Law; see Exod.13:4,6,9-10.)
➡️The Apostles keep Pentecost in Acts 2:1-4.
➡️Jesus kept the 7th Day Sabbath as his custom in Luke 4:16, Mark 2:28.
➡️Jesus kept the Feast of Tabernacles in John 7:2,10,14.
🎈3. I know protestants try to overlook the 7th Day Sabbath as well as God's Festivals in Lev.23, but why do they push on pagan festivals (Christmas (sun god), Halloween- (god of death), Sunday-honors sun god, etc.) which honor other gods that Jesus, Paul and the Apostles didn't keep, which God condemns?
(See: E.G. White, 21 Manuscript Release, p.223. E.G.White, Bible Echo, December 15, 1892 par.11. Etc. Google: cuttingedge santa satan ➡️See also Jer.10 about Christmas Tree.)
🎈4. Protestants claim also that Jesus was born December 25th, then tell me where in the Bible does it say Jesus was born December 25th, or in the winter and where it is commanded in scripture to keep Christmas, Halloween, New Year's (Janus = The god of gates), birthdays (honor oneself as a god), etc.?
🎈5. It is clear from the Old Testament and New Testament that God's true people kept the Feast Days of Lev.23, but why are NOT protestants keeping them today when we see in the future that God's people will be keeping God's Sabbaths as well as the New Moons which begin the 1st day of each month on the Hebrew Calendar/Jewish Calendar (Isaiah 66:22-23, Zech.14:1,9,16-19)? (🎼Note: To keep the feasts, you have to know about them. These feasts are in God's Plan for mankind.)
🎈6. It is clear from Peter in 2Pet.2:21 that the way of righteousness is keeping God's Holy Commandment: the 7th Day Sabbath and to NOT do it would be SIN; wouldn't it be SIN according to 1John 3:4?
🎈7. The Presidential Seal has the ➡️name, ➡️title and ➡️territory (Joe Biden, President of the United States) of what one controls. In Rev.14:7, it states "...worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.", which points back to the 4th commandment in Exodus 20:8-11. God's Seal is found in Exodus 20:10-11 = "But the 7th day is the Sabbath of the ➡️LORD thy God...For in 6 days the ➡️LORD made ➡️heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is..." Now it says in Rev.7:2-8 says that God's Seal is protection in Rev.9:4 = "And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have NOT the seal of God in their foreheads." So my question is if we know the Sabbath is the Seal of God; then why would people do the opposite of God's Seal to have the MARK of disobedience (Mark of the Beast in Rev.13:18)? (🎼Note: The Catholic Church says: "Sunday is our MARK of authority...The Church is above the Bible, & the transference of sabbath observance is proof of that fact." = Catholic Record of London, Ontario, Sept.1, 1923. )
🎈8. Since the Catholic Church is above the Bible, to be in control, to say different than what the Bible says to do, then why are protestant daughters following the pagan doctrines of the RCC or should I say their mother as Rev.17:5 describes it?
➡️Tomorrow's World Booklets you should consider in reading:
"Which day is the Christian Sabbath?"
"The Holy Days: God's Master Plan"
"Satan's Counterfeit Christianity"
"God's Church through the Ages"
Regarding 1Tim.4:1-5. I was wondering if you know the opposites of the Roman Catholic Church (RCC), for I did NOT know if you knew Dan.8:12 =🚫this is talking about the RCC casting God's Truth to the ground. For the RCC 🚫tried to change God's Law (Dan.7:25)too; see Catholics Commandments by googling it and compare them with God's Commandments in Exodus 20. They took out the 2nd commandment, changed the 4th which is their 3rd and added another "covet". Learning from 1Tim.4:1= it says "...some shall depart from the faith giving heed to seducing spirits, and 🌋doctrines of devils." What most people do NOT know is the faith in 1Tim.4:1 that Catholics and the SDA Church left is mentioned in Acts 20:28-30 as "the Church of God". Also many people don't see the things the RCC and SDA have in common, they both believe in the trinity, Christ's Death Friday and Resurrection Sunday, Birthdays which are all false that came from Pagan Rome. You might have NOT known that JW's carry a doctrine from the RCC too, and that is "angels mating with humans". ↗️Now from the following on: we know the RCC and the SDA Church would forbid marriage and command their members NOT to eat the clean meats in Lev.11 and Deut.14. 🚫The RCC forbids priests to marry, but Luke 1:5,13 says the priest Zacharias was married to Elizabeth. 🚫The RCC forbids eating lamb, deer, chicken, beef on Ash Wednesday, Good Friday & all Fridays during Lent. 🚫SDA Ellen G. White testimony of 1885 said, "In this age of the world, as the scenes of earth's history are soon to close and we are about to enter upon the time of trouble such as never was, the fewer the marriages contracted, the better for all, both men and women."--Ellen White, Testimonies, Vol.5, p.366. 🚫SDA say you can eat the clean meats of Lev.11 and Deut.14, but they try to make you vegans and/or vegetarians. In Testimonies (1872), Volume III, p.21, Ellen G. White said her visions gave her "positive testimony against ...flesh meats, butter, ...Further she stated that cheese should never enter the stomach, and that "eggs" should not be placed upon your table" (Testimonies, Volume II, p.68, 400). However the Bible contradicts Mrs White, for Jesus (the God of the Old Testament) ate a meal of bread, butter, milk and beef with Abraham in Gen.18:1-8. it was prophesied that Jesus would eat butter in Isaiah 7:14-15. God's people eat eggs (Job 6:6, Luke 11:11-13). David ate cheese in 2Samuel 17:29.
Other facts to consider for SDA's: ↗️Jesus did NOT drink grape juice, He drank wine (oinos) = Matt.11:18-19, John 2:1-11. Paul told Timothy to drink a little wine for his stomach's sake. SDA's are very dishonest to say the Greek word "oinos" is grape juice, Google: oinos.Try getting drunk on grape juice in Eph.5:18. ↗️Even at the communion SDA's have, they observe it quarterly and it is usually on the 7th Day Sabbath, but the SDA Church replaced (Matt.26:17,19,20, Mark 14:1,12,17) Passover the 14th to their own communion which honors the goddess Ashtoreth, they did (1Cor.10:20-22)grape juice instead of wine (1Cor.11:21,25-34, Matt.26:27-30, Mark 14:23-26), and observed it in church instead of (1Cor.11:22, Matt.26:18, Matt.14:14) one's home. (🎼Note: When you don't keep Passover on the right day and don't observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread, then you will be sinning because you will be eating things that rise like bread, cakes, etc. which have leavening (baking soda, baking powder and yeast) ingredients in them. Now when you eat leavening products, you honor the goddess ashtoreth: the queen of heaven = Jer.7:18, 1Kings 11:5,33, 1Samuel 7:3-4, Deut.12:30-31, etc.)

Dear Pastor Finley, thank you very much for all your sacrifice and work, so that other people can know the Adventist message. It has been a tremendous blessing to me Claudia Clementi.
The adventist message?? Paul preached the gospel of Christ, that should be the message. Sadly, the SDA message IS NOT THE GOSPLE OF CHRIST, maybe that is why they (Adventist) do not preach it.
It's NOT about the adventist message,IT'S ALL ABOUT THE GOSPEL OF JESUSCHRIST.....

Go watch John MacArthur he will explain why we don’t worship on Saturday way better than I can. My own understanding is this: 1) Jesus arose on Sunday 2) as Christians we are NOT under Jewish law. 3) we can’t pick and chose the laws of the Old Testament to follow. It’s follow the whole Jewish law or Christ. We can’t have it both ways. This is written so many places through out the Gospel of Christ. I’m just given you my view. I am thankful to be able to worship Christ. Side note, we don’t get into heaven by doing works.
I reject the idea of a Sabbath. Jesus is my sabbath. Sorry, you are so Wong on many points. You are leading may to HELL.
I love the simplicity of how you have explained the subject matter at hand.
What I like about most Adventist is teaching and not yelling.

look into them for yourself...I belonged to an SDA church for over 3 years and ran away when I started to learn for myself some of their doctrines which are not Scriptural... and be very wary of "idolizing" their prophetess EGW...don't follow blindly just cause it sounds good....he is a long term SDA so of course he's gonna toot their horn so to speak...they are a cult just like the JW's....very subtle....they have their own Bible which cults have to agree with their doctrines....be wary and research....
Me too!
@@isabellepersic5918 for 3 years? Then you know very little I must say.
@@stewiefy I belonged to an SDA church for about 3 years and left after I started doing my own research on their doctrines that where not Scriptual like the The Investigative Judgement and Yeshua going from the Holy to the Holy of Holies etc and the "closed door" belief and the fact that many SDA's believe that EGW is a prophetess (read Deuteronomy 18: 18-22) and idolize her (we aren't to idolize ANY human over God)...the fact that much of her writings where plagerized and they knew it but swept it all under the rug because without EGW as their prophetess they're whole foundation would crumble....and the fact that they have their own Bible filled with EGW quotes etc...cults have their own Bibles to agree with their particular peculiar beliefs just like the JW's the Mormons, Islam and all of the other cults out there....these denominations including the SDA's are ALL man-made religions that have their own beliefs....any doctrines that are contrary to Scripture are wrong....I use the KJV and the NKJV...
If you feel that way why do you stay....? There are other denominations that keep the Sabbath....google all the churches that do & maybe you can find one in your area....
and how "Christian" is that telling you to find another denomination....I found that they don't like being questioned if it goes against their doctrines....not good...Christians can be the worst hypocrites...anyway when I started hearing things coming from the pulpit that weren't Biblical and especially when they introduced EGW and I looked into her I ran in the opposite direction and never looked back....
I don't feel that someone should stay with a denomination when there is that much discord just to keep the Sabbath....keep it by yourself for a bit...I'm sure you'll find other people who'll keep it with you...maybe even someone in the church who feels the way you do....anyway....God bless

And obedience to the statutes of the Book of the Covenant (Ex 19- 24:11) as given to Mosheh which was blood ratified (Ex 24:1-9), shows us worthy of salvation to eternal life - Rev 22:14. Yahusha established this New Covenant, (the Book of the Covenant) under the MelchiTzedek Order when He became the Kohen Ha Gadol (High Priest) for eternity.

@@timothyastleford7541 Very beautifully explained. Sanford Howard and Stuart Wetstein would have loved it!!! God rest their souls!
@@brigittebeltran6701 the same way they could believe that Adventism is, or Jehovah's Winesses are, or Baptist, Presbyterian etc. What "church" goers fail to realize is that ALL denominational (and nondemominational) temples/buildings called churches are false and NONE OF THEM are the true Ecclesia no matter what day they claim to worship on. People debate over their man made doctrines not realizing how much ALL of them are off. First of all, separating what is supposed to be Christ's bride by different doctrines/beliefs automatically disqualifies you as His true church. Scripture is clear that the true Ecclesia is of ONE SPIRIT and ONE (AND THE SAME) doctrine. And NOWHERE does scripture tell man to create doctrines around one part of scripture to form another version of Christ's Church. Second, because you all call these buildings "churches" you automatically disqualify yourselves as the Church because you're giving your spiritual identity to these buildings while claiming with your mouths you are the church. Thats contradicting. And third, because Christ tore down and put an end to the brick and mortar temple and man built it back up without His authorization, they are ALL in opposition to Christ. Because religion is not true relationship with God MANY "church" goers don't truly have the Holy Spirit in them to show them what Christ actually cares most about and wants them to be doing. They lack the understanding of what He did and what it means for them and their fate when He comes to judge. He says more than once in scripture how He is going to judge the nations and based on what, yet many still miss it because they have been brainwashed by religious doctrines OF MEN. I pray that all truly seek God and GENUINE relationship with Him as their FATHER. Many don't have true relationship but are just going through the motions because they scared of judgement. Others just use religious doctrine to feel they are above, better than or more well behaved than others. Either way its wrong and will not get them into the Kingdom until they GENUINELY take on the character of Christ through FAITH.
God bless you

I started reading the Bible understood it with the help of Elders, and when I was fully convinced of the word, l left Roman Catholic church. later on, I got baptized in Seventh Adventist church and still l'm. I was raised in a Catholic church. Anyway, later l felt and still feel SDA church is my new found faith. On the other hand, my parents are still Catholics. My parents were not happy with me finding my new faith in Jesus Christ in another church and joining the SDA church . It's a long story if am to narrate it. It is true nothing is impossible with God, l believe am in the right church, God's church and l look to God's grace, peace, hope, faith and of all Love through Jesus Christ's name Amen 🙏🙏!!
God bless you. My husband is a former Catholic, as well. He is now a very happy Adventist Christian. His priest didn't mind him asking questions. The problem was when he questioned the answers. He asked questions about repetitious prayer, praying to Mary, the big emphasis on Mary in the Catholic church when she is not mentioned much in the Bible, Mary being taken to Heaven when the Bible says nothing about that, that the CC chooses tradition over Scripture when there is a discrepancy, why worship on Sunday? His priest didn't like it that my husband could go to the Bible to question his answers from what he'd read in the Bible.
Truths is not in SDA, God is the truth if we believe in him he will set us free. Are we going to search for the truth in different ⛪?
Is Saturday really God's seventh day?
@@joshuaroy3777 ~ The truth is in the Bible. Adventists back up our beliefs with Scripture. I asked God to lead me to a church which taught from the Bible without manmade traditions, and God led me to the SDA church not long after I asked Him. I was impressed that everything I was being taught was from the Bible.
Had me concerned for a while. So heart-warming. This guy can be my pastor anytime.

Try to research some former SDA Pastor here in youtube they exposed their False Prophet Ellen G. White. Although they have some similar doctrine from other denomination. But we cant they have false doctrine they argue Sunday keeper are not allow to worship and they accused received mark of the beast Sunday keeper. And they said meat are not allow to eat.

I was born in to a Seventh day Adventist family, went to Adventist elementary school and Academy. I quit going to church in any regular basis. At about age 20.
But I always used it to NOT work on Saturday, but I still did what ever I wanted on Saturday.
This sermon here by Pastor Finely, has really taught me things that I didn't ever pay attention to before.
@.Sharyne Masterson....consider yourself a blessed girl. I truly believe in Christian education. What a BLESSING.!!!! Please dont tarry any longer, return in full force my dear. There is absolutely nothing out there. Love you and hope to see you in heaven.👍🏼

There are not good Jews, Catholics, Muslim....whatever??? If Adventists is it.....why aren't their numbers up, why aren't there new Churchs? Where are the evangelism meetings???

Mark Finley has always had such a wonderful way of gracefully and factually explaining some of the finer points of SDA doctrine. The way he solidly backs up every tenet Biblically while never coming across dogmatic is remarkable. What a wonderful video to introduce some basic Adventist beliefs. Thank you pastor Mark for your decades of work for Jesus. You continue to be an inspiration.
Praise God!

Amen, praise God that's the truth 🙏🙏🙏❤️Thank you Pastor Mark Finley. The Holy Spirit is leading all to unlock the true facts about the Seventh-day Adventist.
Thanks for watching. May God bless you.
I thank God I grow up in an SDA parents..I am so happy to hear this 7facts of the seventh day Adventist it strengthen my faith.and loving Jesus more.
Cheljoy Geomac I grew up Adventist too. I too used to think how lucky I was that I was born into the true church. But so does every child who grew up in the Morman church or Jehovah witness or catholic or SDA. A child trusts their parents. But I was blessed that my parents sought after truth even after being super good Adventist’s. My Dad was a forefather in getting the big adventist church in Paradise California built ( it just burned down after 60 years in the camp fire.) but my point is we were dedicated SDA members. But my Mother was a truth seeker and dug deeper into the theology. Our eyes were opened. The light flooded in and we could no longer accept the lies. I love the people of the SDA Church and wish for them to open their eyes. They have been frightened into thinking if they step foot outside the SDA Church that they will be lost. It’s a religion of fear. Even EGW set up a fool proof safe guard for herself saying someday people will say she is a false prophet and fall away from the church and be lost.
If it’s not in the Bible it’s not God’s message. Adventists twist texts and take out of context texts to fit their rules and justify their means. And they are really good at it! It’s a big money making institution as well with more money on Wall Street than you can possibly imagine. I overheard a conversation from someone who had just been in a big meeting with the big guys from the general conference and he was telling his wife what he heard. I was shocked and knowing how much money my Dad gave to the church I knew his money was part of it.
I was a grateful daughter thinking I was born into the true church but when you seek truth.. really seek it as my folks did, God reveals it.
I’m sorry you are caught up in believing still what you were born into. But there is hope... you can be born again. A born again Christian is born into the pure gospel where you are born of Christ, not your parents beliefs. In His Love I write this to you that you might begin the process of rebirth. There will be labor pains for sure. It is hard to leave that womb but a baby was not created to stay in the womb and the transition is one of labor and stages, but focus of Jesus alone and you will get through it. He is your Sabbath rest the substance of the sabbath that was a shadow or an example of the rest from the works of required to be acceptable that was yet to come in Christ. And once you break out you will take a big breath of life and from that moment on you will grow in Christ free of the walls that once restricted you. 🙏🏻 not free to sin but free from sin that condemns us.
I am not SDA but I always respect them because I see they are people of great faith and I loved to hear this pastor .I'm a Christian and I love SDA I consider them as my brothers and sisters in Christ.
I was Muslim Lord Jesus saved me by His grace, God almighty directed me to SDA church , it’s true Gods church praise the Lord , God through the Bible reveals to me . I love you Jesus praise the Lord glory to God .

Yes great msg.
Pastor Mark THANK YOU for spreading the truth about what SDAs believe... I have been very blessed to have grown up in the SDA Church from the age of 3 and to this day I'm still attending and am hoping to get baptised as soon as this COVID19 pandemic is over... I am now almost 24 and have 2 kids of my own and am bringing my children up in the Church as I was through my family
Can I ask you these eye opening questions regarding the Bible?
🎈1. Protestants claim they go by the Bible only, but I wanted to ask on who you follow as an example; is it Jesus or is it Paul or is it the Apostles or is it all of them or it neither of them?
➡️1Pet.2:21 states "...because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow His steps."
➡️The Apostle Paul in 1Cor.11:1 states "Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ."
➡️Then it says that the household of God "...are built upon the foundation of the Apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone" in Eph.2:20.
🎈2. Now if protestants go by the Bible as they claim, then why are they NOT followers of Jesus, Paul, and the Apostles?
➡️Paul kept the 7th Day Sabbath as his custom in Acts 17:2, Acts 18:4, Acts 13:14,14,42-44.
➡️Paul said to keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread in 1Cor.5:6-8. (The Feast of Unleavened Bread is part of God's Law; see Exod.13:4,6,9-10.)
➡️The Apostles keep Pentecost in Acts 2:1-4.
➡️Jesus kept the 7th Day Sabbath as his custom in Luke 4:16, Mark 2:28.
➡️Jesus kept the Feast of Tabernacles in John 7:2,10,14.
🎈3. I know protestants try to overlook the 7th Day Sabbath as well as God's Festivals in Lev.23, but why do they push on pagan festivals (Christmas (sun god), Halloween- (god of death), Sunday-honors sun god, etc.) which honor other gods that Jesus, Paul and the Apostles didn't keep, which God condemns?
(See: E.G. White, 21 Manuscript Release, p.223. E.G.White, Bible Echo, December 15, 1892 par.11. Etc. Google: cuttingedge santa satan ➡️See also Jer.10 about Christmas Tree.)
🎈4. Protestants claim also that Jesus was born December 25th, then tell me where in the Bible does it say Jesus was born December 25th, or in the winter and where it is commanded in scripture to keep Christmas, Halloween, New Year's (Janus = The god of gates), birthdays (honor oneself as a god), etc.?
🎈5. It is clear from the Old Testament and New Testament that God's true people kept the Feast Days of Lev.23, but why are NOT protestants keeping them today when we see in the future that God's people will be keeping God's Sabbaths as well as the New Moons which begin the 1st day of each month on the Hebrew Calendar/Jewish Calendar (Isaiah 66:22-23, Zech.14:1,9,16-19)? (🎼Note: To keep the feasts, you have to know about them. These feasts are in God's Plan for mankind.)
🎈6. It is clear from Peter in 2Pet.2:21 that the way of righteousness is keeping God's Holy Commandment: the 7th Day Sabbath and to NOT do it would be SIN; wouldn't it be SIN according to 1John 3:4?
🎈7. The Presidential Seal has the ➡️name, ➡️title and ➡️territory (Joe Biden, President of the United States) of what one controls. In Rev.14:7, it states "...worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.", which points back to the 4th commandment in Exodus 20:8-11. God's Seal is found in Exodus 20:10-11 = "But the 7th day is the Sabbath of the ➡️LORD thy God...For in 6 days the ➡️LORD made ➡️heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is..." Now it says in Rev.7:2-8 says that God's Seal is protection in Rev.9:4 = "And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have NOT the seal of God in their foreheads." So my question is if we know the Sabbath is the Seal of God; then why would people do the opposite of God's Seal to have the MARK of disobedience (Mark of the Beast in Rev.13:18)? (🎼Note: The Catholic Church says: "Sunday is our MARK of authority...The Church is above the Bible, & the transference of sabbath observance is proof of that fact." = Catholic Record of London, Ontario, Sept.1, 1923. )
🎈8. Since the Catholic Church is above the Bible, to be in control, to say different than what the Bible says to do, then why are protestant daughters following the pagan doctrines of the RCC or should I say their mother as Rev.17:5 describes it?
➡️Tomorrow's World Booklets you should consider in reading:
"Which day is the Christian Sabbath?"
"The Holy Days: God's Master Plan"
"Satan's Counterfeit Christianity"
"God's Church through the Ages"
Regarding 1Tim.4:1-5. I was wondering if you know the opposites of the Roman Catholic Church (RCC), for I did NOT know if you knew Dan.8:12 =🚫this is talking about the RCC casting God's Truth to the ground. For the RCC 🚫tried to change God's Law (Dan.7:25)too; see Catholics Commandments by googling it and compare them with God's Commandments in Exodus 20. They took out the 2nd commandment, changed the 4th which is their 3rd and added another "covet". Learning from 1Tim.4:1= it says "...some shall depart from the faith giving heed to seducing spirits, and 🌋doctrines of devils." What most people do NOT know is the faith in 1Tim.4:1 that Catholics and the SDA Church left is mentioned in Acts 20:28-30 as "the Church of God". Also many people don't see the things the RCC and SDA have in common, they both believe in the trinity, Christ's Death Friday and Resurrection Sunday, Elijah and Enoch in hraven, Birthdays which are all false that came from Pagan Rome. You might have NOT known that JW's carry a doctrine from the RCC too, and that is "angels mating with humans". ↗️Now from the following on: we know the RCC and the SDA Church would forbid marriage and command their members NOT to eat the clean meats in Lev.11 and Deut.14. 🚫The RCC forbids priests to marry, but Luke 1:5,13 says the priest Zacharias was married to Elizabeth. 🚫The RCC forbids eating lamb, deer, chicken, beef on Ash Wednesday, Good Friday & all Fridays during Lent. 🚫SDA Ellen G. White testimony of 1885 said, "In this age of the world, as the scenes of earth's history are soon to close and we are about to enter upon the time of trouble such as never was, the fewer the marriages contracted, the better for all, both men and women."--Ellen White, Testimonies, Vol.5, p.366. 🚫SDA say you can eat the clean meats of Lev.11 and Deut.14, but they try to make you vegans and/or vegetarians. In Testimonies (1872), Volume III, p.21, Ellen G. White said her visions gave her "positive testimony against ...flesh meats, butter, ...Further she stated that cheese should never enter the stomach, and that "eggs" should not be placed upon your table" (Testimonies, Volume II, p.68, 400). However the Bible contradicts Mrs White, for Jesus (the God of the Old Testament) ate a meal of bread, butter, milk and beef with Abraham in Gen.18:1-8. it was prophesied that Jesus would eat butter in Isaiah 7:14-15. God's people eat eggs (Job 6:6, Luke 11:11-13). David ate cheese in 2Samuel 17:29.
Other facts to consider for SDA's: ↗️Jesus did NOT drink grape juice, He drank wine (oinos) = Matt.11:18-19, John 2:1-11. Paul told Timothy to drink a little wine for his stomach's sake. SDA's are very dishonest to say the Greek word "oinos" is grape juice, Google: oinos.Try getting drunk on grape juice in Eph.5:18. ↗️Even at the communion SDA's have, they observe it quarterly and it is usually on the 7th Day Sabbath, but the SDA Church replaced (Matt.26:17,19,20, Mark 14:1,12,17) Passover the 14th to their own communion which honors the goddess Ashtoreth, they did (1Cor.10:20-22)grape juice instead of wine (1Cor.11:21,25-34, Matt.26:27-30, Mark 14:23-26), and observed it in church instead of (1Cor.11:22, Matt.26:18, Matt.14:14) one's home. (🎼Note: When you don't keep Passover on the right day and don't observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread, then you will be sinning because you will be eating things that rise like bread, cakes, etc. which have leavening (baking soda, baking powder and yeast) ingredients in them. Now when you eat leavening products, you honor the goddess ashtoreth: the queen of heaven = Jer.7:18, 1Kings 11:5,33, 1Samuel 7:3-4, Deut.12:30-31, etc.)
This is a very intelligent approach; for those who are constantly looking for negativity, to have stumbled upon this commentary for the wrong reasons may come away from it with a bit of wisdom and enlightenment. Very smartly presented.
I am a sevent day Adventist.... But almost 10 yrs I'm not going to church, and I need this motivation so much so I come again to Jesus 😢❤️❤️
Here's some motivation to stay away.
pay close attention to the highlighted words 🧐.....
(OFFICIAL SDA BAPTISMAL VOWS)
Vow #8: "I ACCEPT the Biblical teaching of spiritual gifts, and believe that the gift of prophecy is one of the IDENTIFYING MARKS of the REMNANT CHURCH."
NOW.....let's see what Fundamental Belief #18 has to say about the IDENTIFYING MARK....
FUNDAMENTAL BELIEF #18
The gift of Prophecy: One of the gifts of the Holy Spirit is prophecy. This gift is an IDENTIFYING MARK of the REMNANT CHURCH and was "MANIFESTED" in the ministry of ELLEN G. WHITE.
SO....here we see that as a member of the REMNANT CHURCH you "MUST" VOW(promise) to ACCEPT the IDENTIFYING MARK of the REMNANT CHURCH which was MANIFESTED through ELLEN G WHITE'S writings...... THEREFORE YOU "MUST" ACCEPT HER WRITINGS....
NOW....let's see what ELLEN G WHITE had to say about her OWN authority...
ELLEN G WHITE:
We "MUST" follow the directions given through the Spirit of Prophecy [Mrs. White's writings]. ... God has spoken to us through His Word. He has spoken to us through the Testimonies to the church and through the books that have helped to make plain our present duty and the position that we should now occupy." (Testimonies, Vol. 8, p. 298)
So here she makes it clear that you MUST follow her directions
That's placing her EQUAL to scripture

Lol definitely, I was raised SDA, I'm 20 and I was involved in Pathfinders for years and still didn't know a lot of these things.
its because we don't apply it as we should, we just expect it to osmosis into the brains of the young people, which doesn't work. Following Jesus is a PERSONAL CHOICE. Yes, surrounding the young ones with this lifestyle can provide a hedge of protection so to speak but in the end, we absolutely need to demonstrate the love of God in a way that when the time comes, that the children who are becoming adults will make the choice to make this lifestyle their own - to make the belief of their parents their own. And to stand for Jesus on their own.

Thanks for watching. May God bless you.
I had a Vision with Christ when I was 21 years old. It was a lot like Paul's conversion. I was changed spiritually by Christ when he held my hand, I felt his power go through me twice. The first time he removed everything about me in my heart and mind. The second time his power entered me he renewed my spirit and instilled the gospel in my heart. When I came back from him I had to learn everything all over again. I was like an infant, I learned through mimicking people. I didn't speak for four months. When I did start speaking everything was about God and the kingdom of heaven. My heart was overflowing with the word of God. I have been to many churches and listened to lots of pastors over the years. I was surprised of their teachings. Most teachings did not line up spiritually. All scripture is spiritual, Holy and pure. And all truth is revealed in Scripture. I would like to know more about the Seventh-day Adventist churches. I listened to this video, and everything I heard was spiritually sound. I would like to listen to more of their teachings.
The Holy Spirit🕊 brought me to this video, reminded me that we are a peculiar people and a holy nation💙🙏🏾🕊God Bless
you mean only the SDA are a peculiar people or the WHOLE body of Christ? do you believe that the SDA's are the remnant church and if you're not an SDA that you're not going to be saved? curious to know what you believe...
Do you believe Ellen White's writings are equal with scripture?
@@goodshorts Adventists don't teach that. EG White writings are but a small light. The Bible is The LIGHT
Prophecy of Ellen white is correct but like all of you they ha e failed to study words if Jesus and the signs
@@ginajourney so when Ellen White contradicts scripture, do you still choose to believe her or the Bible?
I was once a neighbor of SDAs as their church was near our house. They are very good neighbors and godly. They sang the same gospel songs we Baptist sang in our church.
Insanity and desolusion-it is called religion.
Baptists? Adventists? None of this is of God. Christ said His church is NOT to be divided by different doctrines/spirits. Seek the Holy Spirit, not man.
@@juliacoburn7455 exactly.
I cried at the end of the video. I am a born again Christian consistently with the church for 4 years. My mom hates Born Again because for personal reasons and I understand her. No there was time after my gall bladder operation in 2021, 3 months after the operation, I was waiting for a tricycle to send me home... It was 6 in the evening, and none stopped for me, until I prayed to God to help me, then a tricycle stopped and give me a ride .. He was an adventist, He was about to go home, but when he saw me waiting carrying groceries, He helped me. I WAS very thankful to him. he even preached the gospel about Sabbath until then my heart search for more truths. I always anticipated him visiting our home for bible lessons. I was looking forward to our bible lessons with other adventist people... And now, my heart and my mind is troubled. How can I open up my newfound faith to my pastor? If I opened it up wouldthey be mad at me? I am praying To God to show me what to do.. Until now, I saw this video AND i BELIEVE that God brought me here for an answer.
Amen !!!
Amen Amen
I am a very simple man and all the verse I find hard to comprehend all I know that I love Jesus.
im a girl, and what i know is that if you call upon God to help you understand the verse, you will understand.
You can get new versions (modern english) NKJV or NIV are good from my experience. Download Bible app on your smartphone to help guide you. God bless.
That is because he has the wrong book. The 1611 Authorized KJV in the perfect living Word of God. :)
The NKJV removes the word "Lord" 66 times!
The NKJV removes the word God 51 times!
The NKJV removes the word "heaven" 50 times!
In just the New Testament alone the NKJV removes 2.289 words from the KJV!
The NKJV makes over 100,000 word changes!
And most will match the NIV, NASV, RSV, or RSV!
Just pick a Bible read it God will show you the truth and his remnant Church like he did me he'll lead to the truth
How about Bible study and you do daily devotion called Timr Alone with God? If interested, there are groups that do weekly devotion whereby they go book by book,through chapters and they cover the whole Bible. Not only do, but they also do the devotion among themselves. Hope that can help

Unknown Person Hello, I am a Seventh day Adventist, and I would just like to clarify and let the Bible defend itself. So what are one of these “false doctrines” you speak of. Try me.
@Michael Heathman Just the tone of all your comments here are all nothing but hate filled to the Adventist belief. It isn't worth replying either but as Pr Mark Finely expressly commented, read the Bible and seek the Truth!
So what do you believe?
What is the truth?
You are sooo informed so tell us something positive about God His truths and what should we do to be saved. If you a devil worshiper please disclose.
Thnx so much pastor Mark. I'm not a SDA but you spoke the truth and nothing but the truth. I'm not confident with christians who attack SDA on purpose to make them look as a cult. You just confirmed that the SDA's are true followers of christ and that their hart reaches out to what God asks from us.

Hello. This is not refreshing. It's error. True Seventh Day Adventist understand that GOD'S NAME IS YAHWEH AND HIS NATURE IS DIVINE. SO THE DIVINE NATURE IS IN THE PERSONS OF THE FATHER SON AND HOLY SPIRIT.
SO THE PERSONS ARE NOT GOD BUT THE ONE DIVINE NATURE IS IN THE THREE PERSON'S OFFICES DOING HIS OWN WORK.
HE JUST TOLD THE WORLD THAT THERE ARE THREE CO ETERNAL GOD'S. THEN USES THE PLURALITY OF THE WORD ELOHIM TO TEACH HIS ERROR.
THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED TO ADVENTISTS WHEN THEY REJECT THE TRUTH OF RIGHTEOUSNESS BY FAITH.
THEN HE GOES ON TO SAY JESUS COVERED YOUR LIFE. THIS IS AN OBJECTIVE JUSTIFICATION. THE LEADERSHIP LEADS PEOPLE INTO THE DARKNESS OF ERROR.
DID YOU KNOW WHEN YOU ARE BORN AGAIN IT IS A SUBJECTIVE CHANGE AND IT MAKES YOU SINFREE?
1 JN 3:9
HIS MOUTH IS SPOUTING LIES THAT RESEMBLES THE TRUTH AND DON'T GET ME WRONG. I AM A SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST.
I AM NOT A LIKEWARM ADVENTIST AND IF YOU WANT TO BE HOT FOR JESUS YOU WILL ESCAPE FOR YOUR LIFE.
SOME TRUTH IS NOT ALL TRUTH. SAYING SOMETHING THAT IS TRUE DOES NOT MEAN ONE HAS THE TRUTH.
Proud to be a Protestant. The title is clever. It draws skeptics, and those who stand for the faith. Seventh Day Adventist are exposed, as being the guardians of truth!😄 Praise God!
Bless you my friend. 😊
Amen!!
Thank God I am a Catholic!
@@thomashogan16 Thank you, Thomas! Let's praise God even more.
I found the title misleading and dishonest. "Exposed". Sneaky.
I want to a job interview, everything was going well until I said I am a Seventhday Adventist, I didn't get the job because I worship on Saturday, because of my faith, I will stand for my beliefs,after all I am my fathers daughter, a warrior for his heavenly kingdom
@@RogalloShaolin no it wasn't stated
God brings us to many trials we shall enter heaven through many tribulations
But Jesus is with us you have heard patience of job and have seen the end of the Lord that the Lord is very pitiful and of tender mercy
Amen
May God bless u for the courageous very few people stand for that. Most people fail to worship the true God bcoz of work issue.
@@warriorqueen7091 even if they stated that but truly as an Adventist is not allowed to work on Saturday according to what the bible is saying.
First time as a seventh day adventist I found the truth of my church...God's church. It's true that I have had arguments with a dear friend of mine...a scientology st and it has always ended with us both being angry at each other. Now I understand. I have only been an adventist since 2014 but I believe to this day it was...it is the right choice...it is the true church. I am 49years old and still praying for God to reveal my purpose. But as my name sake Elizabeth I will keep praying and never lose faith. Happy Sabbath
Hi Elizabeth, Thanks for watching. We are glad that you learnt about the church. May God bless you.
This is not the first time I felt the Holy Spirit leading me to this church. Praying next sabbath my feet is on seventh day adventist church. 🙏
Currently searching the location of the said church.
Praise the Lord. We are sorry that we have followed up late on this. Do you still need help in locating a church?
I’m a new member of SDA, I was given some grief for my decision to join as there is so many Un-truths that people pass on and give SDA a bad name, it’s actually persecution when lies are told, I prayed to God to show me I was following the right path and I may not have found this video if it weren’t for being in the ER today, thinking I may have signs of a heart attach and I was trying to find prophecy video’s and saw this and thought it was going to be another persecution video, but I take this now as a sign God approves of the path Im on. God Bless all who listen to this and if you still have doubts, pray about it and God will reveal the truth to you!
Jesus teaches To Love the Lord thy God with all you heart all your mind and all your strength and Love your neighbor as yourself. Isn’t it time to stop tearing down our Christian Brothers and Sisters no matter what their denomination, In Revelation Jesus warns the Church Revelations 2:4 you don’t Love me or each other as you first did. I have only this to say about the seventh day Adventist I have been attending, they believe solely in the Bible as the Inspired word from God, they believe we are not saved by works but by the redeeming grace that came from Jesus Christ and the fruit of our belief is letting the 10 commandments be our guide to living righteously, these people are so misunderstood it is unreal.
Your doing fine, trust in jesus.
@Joel Villarreal
1 Thes.4:17. Then WE who are alive and remain...(Paul).
Matt.16:28. There are some standing here who will not taste of death till they see the Son of man coming in His glory...(Jesus).
@@Stefan-X24 Matthew 16:28 refers to Jesus’s ascension to his kingdom and 1 Thessalonians 4:17 refers to the people who are alive at the time. For the writer they were obviously alive at the time, and recognized that. That specific wording doesn’t mean he is literally referring to himself or that he would be alive at the time
@@keidengraves6824
Thanks for your comment but I have to disagree. Maybe I'm right maybe I'm wrong but when Paul say "WE who are alive and remain..." he includes himself.
Since I don't believe Paul was a false prophet I suspect he was expecting Christ's return in his lifetime.
I love u pastor the way u preach u explain to understand the living word of God bless u
Yes god is good all the time praise his name
Good morning
Pastor Doug Batchlor's teachings brought me to SDA....and our family will continue. God bless you all.
Praise the Lord. We're glad you're part of the SDA family. May God bless you.
@@HL365 Blessing abound to you too. God keep and bless you.
You CANNOT find no SDA CHURCH IN THE BIBLE. BUT YOU CAN FIND IT IN ELLEN AND JAMES BOOK THAT IS NOT THE LORDS CHYRCH .
IN ROMANS 16: 16 THE CHURCH OF CHRIST SALUTE YOU. YOU NEED TO OBEY THE DOCTRINE OF CHRIST FOR THE SAVING OF YOUR SOULS
Mark i. Met you in Portland Maine a few years back when you spoke at the university of Maine I brought with me a young budist boy from Thailand to hear you speak about your trip to the holy land to prove some of the facts written in the Bible he and I enjoyed your talk and found mush inspriation that evening from your talk I thank you for all you do. Keep up. The great work you are one of gods heroes here on earth your friend bob
Only those born into this cult or those ignorant of the scripture can be misled by this churches heresies. I continue to pray for those in this church truly seeking God. He will lead you out and to The Truth
I think you confuse us the other church.
@Kevin Smith, what heresy are you referring to?
@@KevinSmith-tl2jn Im an Adventist, sought and found God, and we pray for people like you.
@@josephswaine6890 I am unsure which "Adventist doctrine" you may believe but let me see if you believe any of the following Adventist beliefs or the Bible (which I will put side by side of Ellen G. White (EGW)/Adventist Church beliefs).
Who bares our sins, Jesus or Satan?
1 Peter 2:24, “Who HIS OWN SELF BARE OUR SINS in his own body on a tree, that we, being
dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.”
Interestingly, when you look up the Greek word “bare” for this verse, it specifically
means: (ἀναφέρειν τὰς ἁμαρτίας ἐπί τὸ ξύλον, 1 Peter 2:24 ) to bear sins up on
the cross, namely, in order to expiate them by suffering death, [cf. Winer's
Grammar, 428f (399)]). Definition of Expiate: “atone for guilt or sin.” SEE ALSO:
Hebrews 9:28, 1 John 2:1-2 (Definition of Propitiation: “atonement, especially that
of Jesus Christ"). 1 John 3:5, 1 John 4:10, Hebrews 1:3, Galatians 1:3-4, and
Revelation 1:5.
EGW: “It was seen also, that while the sin offering pointed to Christ as a sacrifice, and
the High Priest represented Christ as the mediator, the scapegoat typified Satan,
the author of sin, UPON WHOM THE SINS OF THE TRULY REPENTANT WILL
FINALLY BE PLACED… Christ will place all these sins UPON SATAN” (Great
Controversy, pg. 422… pg. 485).
Clearly the Seventh Day Adventist church preaches another gospel when it preaches Satan bares our sins and the Bible, authored by the Holy Spirit preaches Jesus bares our sins.
OR.......
What is the New Testament seal of God?
Ephesians 4:30, “And grieve not THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD, WHEREBY YE ARE SEALED
unto the day of redemption.” 2 Corinthians 1:22, “Who hath also SEALED us, and given us
the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.” Ephesians 1:13, “In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye
believed, ye were SEALED WITH THAT HOLY SPIRIT of promise” The promise of Acts 2:33, “Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father
the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.” What “hath he (GOD) shed forth”? Acts 10:45, “And they of the circumcision which BELIEVED
were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.”
Those of the circumcision WHO BELIEVED were astonished because the promised gift, the Holy Ghost, the seal of the New Covenant was given to the gentiles as well. They were astonished because this, the receiving of the Holy Ghost, meant Gentiles ARE sealed to God just the same as they (the Jews who believed) are sealed to God!! There are other Bible verses but these are very CLEAR.
The Holy Spirit is the Seal of God for the second covenant generation.
EGW: “The enemies of God’s law from ministers down to the least among them, have a new conception of truth and duty. Too late they see that the Sabbath of the fourth commandment IS THE SEAL OF THE LIVING GOD.” (Great Controversy pg. 640)
CLEARLY, the Bible and EGW do NOT agree; I will take the Bible and forsake EGW the false prophet and her religion. Read Ephesians chapter 2 and when you come to the end of that chapter you will see the Seventh Day Adventist church was NEVER the true church BECAUSE the True Church, God's temple, is made up by those who truly believe and God has joined with them by/through the Holy Spirit.
There are many heresies in this religion because this religion did not come from God. I am sorry I missed your reply a year ago. If I have shown you Truth today we both have the prayers of Cathy Cadungon to thank. As without her message to me I would still have missed your question from a year ago. God hears my prayers to bring all into His light and had this sister, a person who is looking to follow Jesus, write me so I would not miss this opportunity to show what the Bible teaches. God truly works in wonderfully mysterious ways!
If you would like to know more about what other truths are twisted by this religion, seek God in the Bible NOT in a man (or woman's) religion. Only the gospel of Christ will save you.
I came out of Babylonian religious system 20 years ago. I'm not a 7th day Adventist, yet I find myself in agreement with the teachings and doctrine of your church most of the time. I only follow and listen to Adventist pastors and teachers on social media. Thank you for the humble spirit and sound doctrine in your teaching. No other " religious " organizations even come close to scripture like yours does. I really enjoy listening and learning from you all. GOD BLESS.
Amen Marc. Here are some places to study.

Let me know if you have more questions. GOD be with you. Keep your eyes on Jesus our Lord and Savior.
@@samuelwilliams1559 ... Amen.....thanks for the info......much appreciated
@@marcmac8727 You are welcome. Walk with Jesus.
Can I ask you these eye opening questions regarding the Bible?
🎈1. Protestants claim they go by the Bible only, but I wanted to ask on who you follow as an example; is it Jesus or is it Paul or is it the Apostles or is it all of them or it neither of them?
➡️1Pet.2:21 states "...because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow His steps."
➡️The Apostle Paul in 1Cor.11:1 states "Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ."
➡️Then it says that the household of God "...are built upon the foundation of the Apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone" in Eph.2:20.
🎈2. Now if protestants go by the Bible as they claim, then why are they NOT followers of Jesus, Paul, and the Apostles?
➡️Paul kept the 7th Day Sabbath as his custom in Acts 17:2, Acts 18:4, Acts 13:14,14,42-44.
➡️Paul said to keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread in 1Cor.5:6-8. (The Feast of Unleavened Bread is part of God's Law; see Exod.13:4,6,9-10.)
➡️The Apostles keep Pentecost in Acts 2:1-4.
➡️Jesus kept the 7th Day Sabbath as his custom in Luke 4:16, Mark 2:28.
➡️Jesus kept the Feast of Tabernacles in John 7:2,10,14.
🎈3. I know protestants try to overlook the 7th Day Sabbath as well as God's Festivals in Lev.23, but why do they push on pagan festivals (Christmas (sun god), Halloween- (god of death), Sunday-honors sun god, etc.) which honor other gods that Jesus, Paul and the Apostles didn't keep, which God condemns?
(See: E.G. White, 21 Manuscript Release, p.223. E.G.White, Bible Echo, December 15, 1892 par.11. Etc. Google: cuttingedge santa satan ➡️See also Jer.10 about Christmas Tree.)
🎈4. Protestants claim also that Jesus was born December 25th, then tell me where in the Bible does it say Jesus was born December 25th, or in the winter and where it is commanded in scripture to keep Christmas, Halloween, New Year's (Janus = The god of gates), birthdays (honor oneself as a god), etc.?
🎈5. It is clear from the Old Testament and New Testament that God's true people kept the Feast Days of Lev.23, but why are NOT protestants keeping them today when we see in the future that God's people will be keeping God's Sabbaths as well as the New Moons which begin the 1st day of each month on the Hebrew Calendar/Jewish Calendar (Isaiah 66:22-23, Zech.14:1,9,16-19)? (🎼Note: To keep the feasts, you have to know about them. These feasts are in God's Plan for mankind.)
🎈6. It is clear from Peter in 2Pet.2:21 that the way of righteousness is keeping God's Holy Commandment: the 7th Day Sabbath and to NOT do it would be SIN; wouldn't it be SIN according to 1John 3:4?
🎈7. The Presidential Seal has the ➡️name, ➡️title and ➡️territory (Joe Biden, President of the United States) of what one controls. In Rev.14:7, it states "...worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.", which points back to the 4th commandment in Exodus 20:8-11. God's Seal is found in Exodus 20:10-11 = "But the 7th day is the Sabbath of the ➡️LORD thy God...For in 6 days the ➡️LORD made ➡️heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is..." Now it says in Rev.7:2-8 says that God's Seal is protection in Rev.9:4 = "And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have NOT the seal of God in their foreheads." So my question is if we know the Sabbath is the Seal of God; then why would people do the opposite of God's Seal to have the MARK of disobedience (Mark of the Beast in Rev.13:18)? (🎼Note: The Catholic Church says: "Sunday is our MARK of authority...The Church is above the Bible, & the transference of sabbath observance is proof of that fact." = Catholic Record of London, Ontario, Sept.1, 1923. )
🎈8. Since the Catholic Church is above the Bible, to be in control, to say different than what the Bible says to do, then why are protestant daughters following the pagan doctrines of the RCC or should I say their mother as Rev.17:5 describes it?
➡️Tomorrow's World Booklets you should consider in reading:
"Which day is the Christian Sabbath?"
"The Holy Days: God's Master Plan"
"Satan's Counterfeit Christianity"
"God's Church through the Ages"
Regarding 1Tim.4:1-5. I was wondering if you know the opposites of the Roman Catholic Church (RCC), for I did NOT know if you knew Dan.8:12 =🚫this is talking about the RCC casting God's Truth to the ground. For the RCC 🚫tried to change God's Law (Dan.7:25)too; see Catholics Commandments by googling it and compare them with God's Commandments in Exodus 20. They took out the 2nd commandment, changed the 4th which is their 3rd and added another "covet". Learning from 1Tim.4:1= it says "...some shall depart from the faith giving heed to seducing spirits, and 🌋doctrines of devils." What most people do NOT know is the faith in 1Tim.4:1 that Catholics and the SDA Church left is mentioned in Acts 20:28-30 as "the Church of God". Also many people don't see the things the RCC and SDA have in common, they both believe in the trinity, Christ's Death Friday and Resurrection Sunday, Birthdays which are all false that came from Pagan Rome. You might have NOT known that JW's carry a doctrine from the RCC too, and that is "angels mating with humans". ↗️Now from the following on: we know the RCC and the SDA Church would forbid marriage and command their members NOT to eat the clean meats in Lev.11 and Deut.14. 🚫The RCC forbids priests to marry, but Luke 1:5,13 says the priest Zacharias was married to Elizabeth. 🚫The RCC forbids eating lamb, deer, chicken, beef on Ash Wednesday, Good Friday & all Fridays during Lent. 🚫SDA Ellen G. White testimony of 1885 said, "In this age of the world, as the scenes of earth's history are soon to close and we are about to enter upon the time of trouble such as never was, the fewer the marriages contracted, the better for all, both men and women."--Ellen White, Testimonies, Vol.5, p.366. 🚫SDA say you can eat the clean meats of Lev.11 and Deut.14, but they try to make you vegans and/or vegetarians. In Testimonies (1872), Volume III, p.21, Ellen G. White said her visions gave her "positive testimony against ...flesh meats, butter, ...Further she stated that cheese should never enter the stomach, and that "eggs" should not be placed upon your table" (Testimonies, Volume II, p.68, 400). However the Bible contradicts Mrs White, for Jesus (the God of the Old Testament) ate a meal of bread, butter, milk and beef with Abraham in Gen.18:1-8. it was prophesied that Jesus would eat butter in Isaiah 7:14-15. God's people eat eggs (Job 6:6, Luke 11:11-13). David ate cheese in 2Samuel 17:29.
Other facts to consider for SDA's: ↗️Jesus did NOT drink grape juice, He drank wine (oinos) = Matt.11:18-19, John 2:1-11. Paul told Timothy to drink a little wine for his stomach's sake. SDA's are very dishonest to say the Greek word "oinos" is grape juice, Google: oinos.Try getting drunk on grape juice in Eph.5:18. ↗️Even at the communion SDA's have, they observe it quarterly and it is usually on the 7th Day Sabbath, but the SDA Church replaced (Matt.26:17,19,20, Mark 14:1,12,17) Passover the 14th to their own communion which honors the goddess Ashtoreth, they did (1Cor.10:20-22)grape juice instead of wine (1Cor.11:21,25-34, Matt.26:27-30, Mark 14:23-26), and observed it in church instead of (1Cor.11:22, Matt.26:18, Matt.14:14) one's home. (🎼Note: When you don't keep Passover on the right day and don't observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread, then you will be sinning because you will be eating things that rise like bread, cakes, etc. which have leavening (baking soda, baking powder and yeast) ingredients in them. Now when you eat leavening products, you honor the goddess ashtoreth: the queen of heaven = Jer.7:18, 1Kings 11:5,33, 1Samuel 7:3-4, Deut.12:30-31, etc.)
