Satan has absolutely NO role in our salvation. We do not become saved as a way of avoiding the Devil the best way we can. We are not looking for God as a way out of Satan’s influence but rather trusting Jesus to overcome the works of the devil on our behalf. Furthermore, we are not born with any internal desire for goodness. We are born dead in sin, and dead men have no ability to rise above their natures (Ephesians 2:1. "1As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins,"). God, the only Source of life, has to come to us and reveal Himself to us as He draws us to Himself (John 6:37, 39,39 -“No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them, and I will raise them up at the last day."). The Adventist idea, however, promulgated to the worldwide organization for Sabbath School members all to study on the same day of the year in every Adventist congregation on earth, teaches that humans are saved by their own reaction against Satan! The Scapegoat Heresy! The final insult in the Adventist “plan of salvation”, however, comes in their scenario of the end of their “investigative judgment”. They teach that when Jesus is finally finished investigating the lives of professed believers and determining which ones have confessed all their sins and have been loyal to God by keeping the law, Jesus will place the sins of the saved upon Satan who is the scapegoat of Leviticus 16. Satan will then bear the sins of the saved out of heaven, thus cleansing “the sanctuary”, and he will be punished for them in the lake of fire. This teaching makes Satan, not Jesus, the final sin-bearer of the saved. Adventists are quick to assert that Satan is not the sin-bearer, yet this idea comes directly from Ellen White: "Since Satan is the originator of sin, the direct instigator of all the sins that caused the death of the Son of God, justice demands that Satan shall suffer the final punishment. Christ’s work for the redemption of men and the purification of the universe from sin, will be closed by the removal of sin from the heavenly sanctuary and the placing of these sins upon Satan, who will bear the final penalty" (Patriarchs and Prophets, p. 358). "In the typical service the high priest, having made the atonement for Israel, came forth and blessed the congregation. So Christ, at the close of His work as mediator, will appear, “without sin unto salvation” (Heb. 9:28), to bless His waiting people with eternal life. As the priest, in removing the sins from the sanctuary, confessed them upon the head of the scapegoat, so Christ will place all these sins upon Satan, the originator and instigator of sin. The scapegoat, bearing the sins of Israel, was sent away “unto a land not inhabited” (Lev. 16:22); so Satan, bearing the guilt of all the sins which he has caused God’s people to commit, will be for a thousand years confined to the earth, which will then be desolate, without inhabitant, and he will at last suffer the full penalty of sin in the fires that shall destroy all the wicked" (The Great Controversy, pp. 485-486). "Satan did not then exult as he had done. He had hoped to break up the plan of salvation; but it was laid too deep. And now by the death of Christ he knew that he himself must finally die, and his kingdom given to Jesus. He held a council with his angels. He had prevailed nothing against the Son of God, and now they must increase their efforts and with their powers and cunning turn to His followers. They must prevent all whom they could from receiving the salvation purchased for them by Jesus. By so doing Satan could still work against the government of God. Also it would be for his own interest to keep from Jesus as many as possible. For the sins of those who are redeemed by the blood of Christ will at last be rolled back upon the originator of sin, and he must bear their punishment, while those who do not accept salvation through Jesus will suffer the penalty of their own sins" (Early Writings p. 178). Adventists will say that Jesus is represented by the sacrificial goat on the Day of Atonement, but that Satan is represented by the living goat sent into the wilderness. In truth, however, it required both goats to represent what the Lamb of God did for us. He not only shed His blood as a propitiation-a payment to satisfy the demands of God for sin-but He also bore the penalty of sinners who were sent out of the camp and removed from the fellowship of God’s people. The sacrificial goat represented propitiation; the scapegoat represented expiation-the consequence of sin on sinners: removal from the camp. Hebrews 13:12, 13 emphasizes this fact: Therefore Jesus also, that He might sanctify the people through His own blood, suffered outside the gate. So, let us go out to Him outside the camp, bearing His reproach. Satan never, in any sense, bears our sins. Furthermore, our sins never defile heaven, as EGW's doctrine of “the sanctuary” maintains. Jesus’ blood never transfers our sins to heaven where they await being placed on Satan for removal to the lake of fire! Blood always cleanses! Even in the Old Testament, the blood carried into the tabernacle on the Day of Atonement did not defile. It cleansed. Jesus’ blood always cleanses, and it cleanses us from the moment the Father draws us to see what Jesus did as our Substitute, and we place our faith and trust entirely in Him alone. His crucifixion marked the fullness of atonement, and that atonement is complete. Jesus Himself declared that “It Is Finished!” When we believe, we are born again and counted fully righteous with the righteousness of Christ alone on the basis of His propitiating blood! When we believe, we are born again and counted fully righteous with the righteousness of Christ alone on the basis of His propitiating blood! In spite of its seductive external appearance, Adventism is a trap. It is a “clever and dangerous spiritual counterfeit” that draws people in with gospel-sounding words. Once inside, however, its members find themselves in a tightening web of confusion and guilt, anxiety and shame. They think they believe in Jesus, but their Jesus did not complete the atonement at the cross, and their Jesus is still fighting a battle with the devil. Their Jesus is not the final Substitute for us in His death for sin and His enduring God’s wrath for our our sin. Rather, their Jesus requires Satan to help complete the eradication of sin. Their Jesus finally offloads our sin onto Satan who bears them into the Lake of Fire where he is punished for them! In Adventism, Jesus is a noble victim, the volunteer who offered to die to demonstrate that Satan’s claims were false. Satan, conversely, resembles a tragic hero, the evil counterpart to Jesus who ultimately receives the final punishment because of his own fatal flaw: evil. The real Jesus, however, is not a victim but our Substitute. He received the ultimate punishment for sin: God’s wrath poured out on Him as He hung between heaven and earth on the cross. Jesus alone rescues us from our death and gives us eternal life when we finally see what He has done and trust Him. The real Jesus is Lord of Lords, and Satan is doomed and disarmed. In Jesus alone we have eternal life. “Now judgment is upon this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out. And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to Myself” (John 12:31, 32).
Thats your big problem. You love the Adventist church and Ellen White more than the Lord Jesus and the Bible . You remind me of aa friend of mine in who is ELDER in SDA WHEN GIVING HIS IDENTITY HE would say I am and Seventh day Adventist first the A Barbadian and then his political party. we other Christians would tell him you should say a Christian first. Brainwashed
Im a born SDA and the older I become realise that denominations won't save you. Your personal relationship woth God and obedience to him will. I'm 31 going on 32 and I'm still very lost, but what I do know is, denominations are all wrong.
The best thing for all Christians to do is to read and know the bible for themselves. Have a personal relationship with Jesus and he will guide us to the truth we all look for.
You couldn't have said it any better, Avon Allen. 100% agree with you. The Bible is the SOLE authority (2 Timothy 3:16-17), not false prophets such as Ellen White, Joseph Smith, CT Russell, Mary Baker Eddy Muhammad etc. Matthew 7:15 "Beware of false prophets"
The tragedy is that almost every single denomination has former members, who then label it a false religion. Christianity in the Book Of Acts is the only true one, where no one claims to be superior to others and Christ alone is magnified. People should strictly study scripture for themselves and not base their belief on any particular denomination.

Next check out "Living in a Worldview of Deception - The Great Controversy" at lifeassuranceministries.org/proclamation/2011/2/greatcontroversy.html . Ellen G. White (EGW) had her famous two-hour "great controversy vision" in Lovett's Grove, Ohio, in mid-March, 1858. This vision is described in her book The Great Controversy Between Christ and Satan, and it describes Adventist reality like this: Before time began, God the Father exalted Jesus to be equal to Himself. When Adam and Eve sinned, the Father took Jesus into His inner council and allowed Him to become the sacrifice for sin. God's exaltation of Jesus over Lucifer made Lucifer jealous. Lucifer rebelled and turned one-third of heaven's angels against God. He accused God of unfairness, of giving a law too difficult to keep, yet demanding obedience. God banished Lucifer/Satan and his angels to earth. Satan deceived Eve, thus causing humanity to sin.1 Ever since, Satan and Jesus have been battling each other for the souls of men. God gave the written transcript of His character on Mt. Sinai so we would know how to live. Jesus came with sinful flesh like Mary's to show us we can keep the law as He did. Jesus' death vindicates and exalts God's law. Ultimately God's people will become free of sin and prove God's law is fair and attainable. When God's people perfectly reproduce the character of Christ, they will vindicate God's character, prove Satan to be a liar, and thus help Jesus win the conflict with Satan.2 Jesus will place all confessed sins on Satan who will carry them into the lake of fire where he, Satan, "will bear the final penalty" for them.3 Finally, God's people have the power to "hasten [their] Lord's return" by throwing themselves into carrying the Adventist message to the world and keeping the law perfectly.4 The mark demarcating the saved from the lost is the observance of the seventh-day Sabbath, while worshiping on Sunday is the mark of the beast.5 Footnotes: 1.

Jessica like you are reading with your eyes close.Why do you think they have to review thst book so often,it started off with over 700 pages today it's about 473 pages,what happen to the other pages. One dont even have to point them out because they are all over and the fact is many of the things written are stolen from other authors.Jessica look at the date of the returned of Christ, who is our sin bearer? is not she said is satan,please run from that cult and run to JESUS THE CHRIST,REDEEMER AND SAVIOUR OF HUMANITY.
The MOB is not Sunday worship but an actual mark in the right hand or forehead. EGW has decieved you all that you're going to fall for the real mark and to worship the Antichrist
I believe that God doesn’t judge us based on which church we attend whether you’re an Adventist or catholic or presbiterian idk, God gave us bible to guide us throughout this journey. And the bible itself says it all, you people i want you to know that SATAN IS POWERFUL AND THAT HE’S NOT A HUMAN. So dont just listen to what people even EGW says, listen to what God SAID... because it is all written, we just don’t want to open our eyes and ears yet Jesus is soon Coming I pray that we all prepare for the second coming of JESUS and that we will all be able to see him coming and be with him eternally!.. AMEN
I wish that was true but God did not come into the world the judge the world but to save the world however God has one church many branches in different location but one church with one lord one faith one baptism and one God and father of all but the main words you can look at is (One faith) it means we need to believe the same things walking in agrement not having many faiths but one so its wrong to think like that God doesnt work like that

@@CAnswersTV Wow, thanks for that. I got my info from an SDA - Walter Veith. Guess I was just trying to give him the benefit of the doubt but all settled now! Even though I do feel a bit stupid - my bad 💗
I left the SDA church months ago. Not just because I did some research on my own on the Bible or other sources, but mostly because deep down in my heart I knew there was something not right about this. I’ve always felt like ‘Is this really a church of Christ?’ And I always knew something was off about the teachings of Ellen G White. When I finally realized ‘enough is enough’, I finally told my wife I no longer believe in the SDA church and belief that Ellen G White is a false prophet and a liar, she didn’t took it that well as she’s a very devoted SDA member. But after a long argument, she accepted my decision of leaving the SDA church. Though I am unsure if our marriage holds as it hasn’t been going well for years and strongly states she wants to leave me, I know God will always be there for me even in the most difficult times.
Thanks for your comment. Your situation reminds me of my own religious controversy early in my marriage with my wife in 1981. I wasn't dealing with false Seventh-day Adventism back then with my wife but with another false religion called Roman Catholicism. Here's my video on how things turned out with my wife who was Roman Catholic at that time - "I Married a Born & Raised Roman Catholic Before I Became a Supernaturally Born Again Bible Christian" at th-cam.com/video/nazRHqhHheY/w-d-xo.html . What's funny about all this in a sad sort of way is Seventh-day Adventists are always accusing me & my TH-cam channel of being Roman Catholics because we are always exposing the SDA as being a false prophet organization. They like to say we are Jesuits doing the devil's work but they fail to realize we are not Romanists at all but instead have produced 295 videos over the last 34 years exposing Roman Catholicism as a counterfeit religion on our playlist called "Dealing With Roman Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, Idolatry & the Virgin Mary" at th-cam.com/play/PLFFA8D69D1B914715.html . May the Lord help you as He did me with my wife. John 14:6
Bonjour , Je vis la même chose à peu près, Ayant décidé de quitter l'église adventiste pour cause théologique , le jugement investigatif qui je trouve est une ignominie envers les êtres humains , sans parler de l'idolâtrie de EGW ainsi que le sabbat forcé comme condition au salut .... Cela fait un an que je fréquente une église adventiste , au début cela allait car étant né de nouveau je portais le feu en moi et cela nourrissait littéralement l'église , au fil des mois et après avoir été bien pressé par mon église locale j'ai constaté la froideur de cette église et la dureté de leur foi . Quand j'ai compris que Jésus aimait le monde et les pêcheurs et qu'il sauve tout les jours des âmes dans le secret , ça m'a libéré des chaînes de la religion et apporté la paix . Malheureusement la femme que j'aime et avec qui je voulait me marier à mis ses croyances comme non négociable au point de ne pouvoir partager sa vie avec un non adventiste , Au moins je constate que notre relation n'était pas basée sur l'amour mais sur l'obéissance à un système de croyance .
It is obvious that SDA followers do not understand the scriptures since they follow a false prophetess (Matthew 7:15) & have a false gospel by adding works & mandatory sabbath keeping to the gospel which are damnable heresies (Galatians 1:6-9). They are religionists without the Holy Spirit of God trying to get to heaven in their own way instead of the Biblical way which proves your comment correct in 1 Corinthians 2:14, "But a natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned." SDA people need to be "born again" by the Holy Spirit & only then will they understand the scriptures correctly (John 3:3-8).
People who are lost can slowly or quickly understand the scriptures..some take weeks & some take years..but afterbthey get the message & clearly understand it..then they can make their decision to become a born again Christian..if they want to...some people have to be talked into it..that is ok, too.
Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Matthew 7:15 (KJV) Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. Matthew 7:20 (KJV)
Exactly..Theyre now out of the closet trying to put in ambivalence situation. The only thing that we can do is pray more. Make out faith stands against over damnation. He/she who remains and stay his/her belief will be saved. Amen.
The internet has brought to light of a lot of dirt the Adventist hierarchy and White Estate have covered up during the pre-internet era. Over the past 25 years or so since the internet and information about Ellen White's fraud started to appear on the World Wide Web, secrets that were only known to about 1% of the Adventist membership are now out in the open for all to see (as well as the lame excuses from Adventists themselves)
the founder of Iglesia ni Cristo 1914 felix Manalo claims he was an angel or messenger sent by God, this religion denies the deity of Christ and the trinity.
I believe with the grace of God, that Ellen G. White is the prophet of His church in the last days, i am one of the readers of her books, so far, i have not read even a single word that is against the Word of GOD.
JamesCardo - Seventh-day Adventism is a religious cult of a demon possessed woman because she claimed a person could not make it through the 1844 investigative judgment of Christ (see our video "Cult Doctrine of Seventh-day Adventism: 1844 Probation & Satan As A Final Sin Bearer for Adventists" at th-cam.com/video/J50HlZFYHtY/w-d-xo.html) without keeping the Sabbath. By making Sabbath Keeping a requirement for salvation the Seventh-day Adventists commit the same type of damnable heresy as the Judaizers did in Galatians 1:6-9 who only required circumcision. Ellen G. White required a lot more things to achieve salvation for her deluded investigative probation judgment (including the "Reform Dress" for women) & many other things than the Judaizers, who were damned by the apostle Paul, ever dreamed of. Ellen G. White makes the Judaizers look like antinomians! Of course both groups are destined for hell in the end. Besides all this Seventh-day Adventists as well as the Black Hebrew Israelites (see our video "Myths of the Black Hebrew Israelites: Theological Racism, Black King James Only, Apocrypha, Whites" at th-cam.com/video/9TiqBceXoH8/w-d-xo.html) & others do not keep the Sabbath the way the Old Testament says to keep the Sabbath thus they are self deluded hypocrites to say the least. For more on the SDA see our playlist with 61 videos at th-cam.com/play/PL5316CC6F66F24283.html . See also www.truthorfables.com/ . HOW TO KEEP THE SABBATH What Is required in keeping the Sabbath according to Mosaic Law: 1. No work done at all (Ex. 20: 10; Lev. 23: 3; Jer. 17:21-22). No watering the lawn, no working in the yard, no hobbies, no surfing, no fixing flat tires, etc. By law if a person did not stop all types of activity in honor of the Sabbath, he was breaking the law. In Numbers 15:32-36 a man was caught collecting sticks on the Sabbath, and he received a rock concert from the people he knew. 2 No kindling of a fire (Ex. 35:3). No fellowship cookouts or barbecues. You can't go into a restaurant and get a hamburger that's been flame broiled, you can't cook eggs, or pancakes in the morning because you'd be kindling a fire for cooking. To drive a car would be to "kindle a fire" In the combustion chamber of your engine. 3. No traveling (Ex. 16:29). Later the Jews added to this law, allowing only a half mile of travel on the Sabbath which we see observed in the NT. But the pure law says "stay at home." Actually, If you kept this part of the law, you could not travel to your church gathering unless it was less than one-quarter mile away from home. If you had an emergency you could not drive to the hospital. 4. No trading (Amos 8:5). If you happened to need gas to get to church service, you could not "trade" money for gasoline. You would not be allowed to buy a cassette tape of that morning's message or a book at the store. There is to be No exchanging of money for goods. If you worked with stocks and you needed to sell you couldn’t. 5. No marketing (Neh. 10:31; 13:15,19). Make sure you do no shopping whatsoever. You can't buy any ice cream for dessert after dinner or anything else. If you run out of food or drink at home you can’t go out to purchase any, you can’t even by a stick of gum. 6."... a holy assembly with double the daily offering along with the other offerings. In other words, you are to give twice as much on the Sabbath (Num. 28:9).Do we practiced this today In compliance with Old Testament law. Do Sabbatarian's really practice the law? I have yet to see people go to Shabbat and give twice as much each week. 7. New showbread In the holy place (Lev. 24:8). Of course this cannot be done today since there is no temple, so this part of the Sabbath cannot be followed by the church. The fact Is the Sabbath was not made for the gentiles, but for the Jews and their generations Ex. 31:12-17). It's a law given between God and the Jews. 8.The last part of the requirements for keeping the Sabbath day law Is the penalty for breaking It. DEATH Titus 1:9-16
Isaiah 5:20-21 [20]Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! [21]Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
@CAnswersTV christ was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world did not know him. Luke 14:5 Then he asked them, “If one of you has a child or an ox that falls into a well on the Sabbath day, will you not immediately pull it out?”
I believe that it is an error to exalt any believers writings over the scriptures. We must commit ourselves to exalting the word of God by studying it , to show ourselves approved to God. No denomination has perfect doctrine or practices this side of heaven. Fear God and give Glory to Him
Chalk Key - Very good advice to the uninformed. Unfortunately most people are under religious delusions & therefore don't do the research as you are recommending thus such people are under the curse found in 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12 which says, " Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness." Some of the best research against Seventh-day Adventism comes from former SDA members who have been on both sides of this 19th century new religion begun by Ellen White & her associates after having done much study either way thus they are the best informed. For more on that see the following websites by former SDA members such as: www.lifeassuranceministries.org/ , www.formeradventist.com/ , www.exadventist.com/ , www.sabbathinchrist.com/ , & www.truthorfables.com/ . Email: proclamation@gmail.com for free materials. The following is an example of an exchange I had with a SDA member - Someone on TH-cam commented, "I am still an SDA but my faith is not in SDA lies doctrines, I am more of Jesus as my personal Sabbath Rest not the teaching of EGW." My answer to this comment - "If you are still in the SDA religious cult created in the 1800s then you must believe in the SDA Jesus or else why be in the SDA religion at all, right? The SDA Jesus is not the same Jesus as the Biblical Jesus. Since you claim to be a Seventh-day Adventist then your SDA Jesus is not the final sin bearer for sinners but Satan is, see www.truthorfables.com/Scapegoat.htm & our video "Cult Doctrine of Seventh-day Adventism: 1844 Probation & Satan As A Final Sin Bearer for Adventists" at th-cam.com/video/J50HlZFYHtY/w-d-xo.html . Thus you have a phony Jesus who gives the glory for sin bearing to the Devil rather than being the sin bearer himself - what a blasphemy for which you & your SDA religion are guilty! Your SDA Jesus is confused as to who he is. SDAs mistakingly confuse Jesus with the archangel Michael - see www.truthorfables.com/Is_Michael_Christ.htm . Many cults and "isms" hold to the mistaken view that Jesus in the Old Testament is Michael the Archangel, especially the Seventh-day Adventists and the Jehovah's Witnesses. Jehovah's Witnesses must hold this view of Jesus in order to justify their Arian view of the Trinity and justify their disbelief in Jesus as eternal deity and creator of all things. All early Adventists and many, if not most even today, hold to the doctrine that Jesus is the Archangel Michael in the Old Testament. Ellen G. White, the founder of Adventism, was more than a little confused about her view of the nature of the Lord Jesus. She was clearly and deliberately confused, vague, and contradictory about her stance on Jesus as being the uncreated creator of all things. It is without dispute that she taught that Michael the Archangel was indeed the pre-incarnate Christ, and that "God raised him to equality with Himself." There seems to be general denial of her views among most, if not all faithful Adventists who consider themselves Trinitarian, but most, if not all, still see Jesus as the Archangel Michael. Some would say that this is simply a role Jesus played in the Old Testament, even though He was not a created angel. The Biblical evidence is to the contrary on both counts. Still in their current claim to be thoroughly orthodox in their view of the Trinity, some SDAs are still not clear and their view is more of that of a "Heavenly Trio" in contrast to the traditional orthodox Biblical view. In addition to the Lord Jesus never being identified by any of the authors of Scripture as Michael the Archangel, he is never seen as anyone but a ranking servant and messenger among the created servants of God. When individuals met the Angel of the Lord, they were well aware they had encountered God - Genesis 16:7-12; 21:17-18; 22:11-18; Exodus 3:2; Judges 2:1-4; 5:23; 6:11-24; 13:3-22; 2 Samuel 24:16; Zechariah 1:12; 3:1; 12:8 (see the video "Biblical Doctrine of Good & Evil Angels/Finding Jesus Foretold Throughout the Old Testament" at th-cam.com/video/M_nGtBfrHG8/w-d-xo.html ). Never did a meeting with any of the angels result in such a reaction. Never did anyone ever ascribe deity at any level when meeting Michael the Archangel. For more Biblical information see the video "Is Jesus God Almighty in the Flesh Meaning the Second Person of the Trinity or Is He Something Else?" at th-cam.com/video/_BlPm7M7uv8/w-d-xo.html . The "Jesus" you believe in is a false "Jesus" & that is why I took the time to show some things above about your SDA "Jesus" to thus prove that even your premise of using "Jesus" in your comment is faulty. Even you admit that the SDA is "lies" yet you stay in a false religion, why?? Please see the following link called "Why remain a Seventh-day Adventist" at www.truthorfables.com/Why_Remain_SDA.htm . Not only does the SDA have a false "Jesus" but a false gospel as well which will damn your soul (Galatians 1:6-9). For more see our playlist called " Dealing with Seventh-day Adventism & Their "Prophetess" with 54 videos at th-cam.com/play/PL5316CC6F66F24283.html . 2 Corinthians 11:4, "For if one comes and preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or you receive a different spirit which you have not received, or a different gospel which you have not accepted, you bear this beautifully."
With all due respect to your view, but what I said at first is still unchangeable. Because there is always more than one side to a coin, everyone needs to study for themself. If I wanted to learn about Islam or Christianity, my foundation wouldn't be strong and wise if I first learnt from a person that has left (and may have grievances) Every student must study without any bias. We cannot be fully nourished by what others regurgitate, we must eat for ourselves. 🍞
@@chalkkey433 - The problem with your analysis is that you are forgetting what the Bible teaches about the state of a person who has not been regenerated by the Holy Spirit of God. Thus your statement "Every student must study without any bias." is totally false from the Biblical perspective. Everyone approaches any subject with a "bias" already there. There is a reason Jesus said "You must be born again." in John 3:3-8. Spiritual rebirth refers to the new life a person finds when he or she becomes a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ. This concept is also referred to as “salvation,” “regeneration,” or being “born again.” It is obvious that you have not understood this matter based on your comment here. The reason anyone living who has not been supernaturally born again cannot understand the things of God is because the Bible clearly states that's the case in 1 Corinthians 2:14, "The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned." The point made in this verse is crucial in our understanding of spiritualty, and how to interact with the non-believing world. In short, non-believers cannot be expected to think, or to act, like believers. The problem is not intellectual or moral; reason and evidence point towards God (Psalm 19:1; Romans 1:18-23). The key difference is spiritual: those who are not guided by the Holy Spirit, thanks to faith in Christ, simply lack a godly spiritual perspective. The only way to be believe the truths of God, including His plan for salvation through faith in Christ, is for God to communicate those truths through His Holy Spirit. Paul's work is to help people who have been given that spiritual ability to believe to understand what it means, but he knows that he cannot make anyone believe it. Intellectual knowledge and human reason cannot produce faith-at best, they can only impart facts (James 2:19). Now Paul shows the negative. Those without God's Spirit cannot possibly "get it." God's truths must be understood and believed on a spiritual level. Those without God's Spirit don't have that level, Paul insists. Like a radio, television, or microphone tuned to the wrong signal, they are literally incapable of receiving that message. So the natural person rejects as foolish anything that comes from the Spirit of God. Those who have only their human senses and human reason will never be able to comprehend the spiritual truths of God's revelation about sin, salvation, and Christ to His people. It's unreasonable to expect non-believers to process spiritual issues in the same way as believers. It's impossible to expect them to have the "mind of Christ" (1 Corinthians 2:16) when they don't have the Spirit of God. Before spiritual rebirth, all humans are slaves to sin (John 8:34) and spiritually dead in their trespasses (Colossians 2:13). When Adam and Eve disobeyed God in the Garden of Eden, they brought sin and death into the world. Every one of their descendants is cursed with a sin nature-a desire to live contrary to God’s will. As we are all descendants of Adam and Eve, we all live under the same curse (Romans 3:23) and deserve death as punishment (6:23). To save us from the curse, Christ Jesus came from heaven to live on earth as the perfect God-man and die a painful death on a cross, taking upon Himself the punishment we all deserve. He then conquered death by rising from the grave three days later. After His ascension back to heaven, Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to live in all who put their faith in Him. The entrance of the Holy Spirit into a soul is what brings about the spiritual rebirth of that person. When the Pharisee Nicodemus visited Jesus one night, Jesus informed him that, in order to see the kingdom of God, he must be born again (John 3:3). This was a concept that Nicodemus was unable to grasp, to Jesus’ surprise. Jesus explained further: “Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit. You should not be surprised at my saying, ‘You must be born again.’ . . . Do you not understand these things? . . . For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:6-7, 10, 16). In saying that Nicodemus must be born again, Jesus was telling him that he must go through spiritual rebirth-he must start a new life in the Spirit-before he could enter God’s kingdom. Jesus is the only way to forgiveness for sin and spiritual rebirth (John 14:6; Acts 4:12). When we put our faith and trust in Jesus Christ, His sacrificial death, and His resurrection, we pass from death to life; our sins are forgiven, and we are spiritually reborn. We are no longer slaves to sin (Romans 6:18). At the moment of salvation, the Holy Spirit enters the believer, and “the Spirit gives life” (John 6:63). The Spirit remains in us as a deposit guaranteeing our salvation (Ephesians 1:13-14) and as a guide for the new life of spiritual rebirth (John 16:13; Romans 8:14; Galatians 5:25). “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” (2 Corinthians 5:17).

That's the very problem with SDAs. They take that woman's words as Gospel but when you tell them that the Bible says that you can speak in an unknown tongue to God ( 1 Corinthians 14:1-25 ) they will stone you for it (emphasis mine). Let that tell you what you need to know.

You never hear Adventist pastors talk about the Feast of Dedication (a.k.a Hanukkah) in John 10:22-23, what it means and its origins, because there's a clear connection between Daniel 8:14 and that passage in John 10:22-23. If Jesus was there at Solomon's Temple to celebrate Hanukkah (circa 30-33AD when John 10:22-23 took place) and Hanukkah was instituted after Judas Maccabeus cleansed and restored the temple in 165BC after the defilement by Antiochus IV Epiphanes (fufilling the prophecy in Daniel 8:14 that the sanctuary would be cleansed after Antiochus LITERAL 2300 day reign of defiling the temple ended), why would Jesus need to go back to heaven and cleanse a "sanctuary" in 1844 that had already been cleansed more than 2000 years earlier? Every year in December, when you see Jews around the world celebrate Hannukah, they disprove SDA's 1844 Sanctuary nonsense as applying to an imaginary event in heaven that never took place. Adventism's foundation doctrine and Ellen White's prophetic influence is completely destroyed once you understand the connection between the real meaning of Daniel 8:14 and John 10:22-23. Imaging basing your church on a prophecy that is......wait for it......2008 YEARS OFF (165BC vs 1844AD)? What a joke!
@ Rass B. I totally understand. Some tend to choose the church that is closest to their beliefs. If we believed all the doctrines of a church, we would be following blindly. God gave brains to think for ourselves, so we have the right to question/disagree with things that are not straightforward for us. At the same time, we dont wish to forsake the congregation, so we keep attending. We dont leave the company that pays us just because we disagree with their rules, cause it will be the same in another organization, but most times we stay because we need to be paid.
Rass B - If you are still in the SDA cult then you must believe in the SDA Jesus or else why be in the SDA religion at all, right? The SDA Jesus is not the same Jesus as the Bible Jesus. Since you claim to be a Seventh-day Adventist then your SDA Jesus is not the final sin bearer for sinners but Satan is, see www.truthorfables.com/Scapegoat.htm & our video "Cult Doctrine of Seventh-day Adventism: 1844 Probation & Satan As A Final Sin Bearer for Adventists" at th-cam.com/video/J50HlZFYHtY/w-d-xo.html. Thus you have a phony Jesus who gives the glory for sin bearing to the Devil rather than being the sin bearer himself - what a blasphemy for which you are guilty! Your SDA Jesus is confused as to who he is. SDAs mistakingly confuse Jesus with the archangel Michael - see www.truthorfables.com/Is_Michael_Christ.htm . Many cults and "isms" hold to the mistaken view that Jesus in the Old Testament is Michael the Archangel, especially the Seventh-day Adventists and the Jehovah's Witnesses. Jehovah's Witnesses must hold this view of Jesus in order to justify their Arian view of the Trinity and justify their disbelief in Jesus as eternal deity and creator of all things. All early Adventists and many, if not most even today, hold to the doctrine that Jesus is the Archangel Michael in the Old Testament. Ellen G. White, the founder of Adventism, was more than a little confused about her view of the nature of the Lord Jesus. She was clearly and deliberately confused, vague, and contradictory about her stance on Jesus as being the uncreated creator of all things. It is without dispute that she taught that Michael the Archangel was indeed the pre-incarnate Christ, and that "God raised him to equality with Himself." There seems to be general denial of her views among most, if not all faithful Adventists who consider themselves Trinitarian, but most, if not all, still see Jesus as the Archangel Michael. Some would say that this is simply a role Jesus played in the Old Testament, even though He was not a created angel. The Biblical evidence is to the contrary on both counts. Still in their current claim to be thoroughly orthodox in their view of the Trinity, some SDAs are still not clear and their view is more of that of a "Heavenly Trio" in contrast to the traditional orthodox Biblical view. In addition to The Lord Jesus never being identified by any of the authors of Scripture as Michael the Archangel, he is never seen as anyone but a ranking servant and messenger among the created servants of God. When individuals met the Angel of the Lord, they were well aware they had encountered God - Genesis 16:7-12; 21:17-18; 22:11-18; Exodus 3:2; Judges 2:1-4; 5:23; 6:11-24; 13:3-22; 2 Samuel 24:16; Zechariah 1:12; 3:1; 12:8 (see the video "Biblical Doctrine of Good & Evil Angels/Finding Jesus Foretold Throughout the Old Testament" at th-cam.com/video/M_nGtBfrHG8/w-d-xo.html ). Never did a meeting with any of the angels result in such a reaction. Never did anyone ever ascribe deity at any level when meeting Michael the Archangel. For more Biblical information see the video "Is Jesus God Almighty in the Flesh Meaning the Second Person of the Trinity or Is He Something Else?" at th-cam.com/video/_BlPm7M7uv8/w-d-xo.html . The "Jesus" you believe in is a false "Jesus" & that is why I took the time to show some things above about your SDA "Jesus" to thus prove that even your premise of using "Jesus" in your comment is faulty. Even you admit that the SDA is "lies" yet you stay in a false religion, why?? Please see the following called "Why remain a Seventh-day Adventist" at www.truthorfables.com/Why_Remain_SDA.htm.

Linda Womack - Excellent advice. The problem you have here is 2 Corinthians 11:4, "For if someone comes and proclaims another Jesus than the one we proclaimed, or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received, or if you accept a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it readily enough."

Naturally, if you have the wrong Jesus this will result in damning your soul to hell while at the same time the false Jesus will also feed you a false gospel. Galatians 1:6-9, "6 I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel- 7 not that there is another one, but there are some who trouble you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed. 9 As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed." There is a cosmic war currently going on between the God of the Bible & Satan so always remember the following, 2 Corinthians 11:13-15, " 13 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. 14 No wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. 15 Therefore it is not surprising if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their deeds." & 1 Peter 5:8, "Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour." Hopefully now, John 14:6. "6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the away, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." has much greater significance to you. The Bible tells us a great deal about Jesus. Following is a list of some of what Scripture teaches about Him. He is prayed to, Acts 7:55-60; 1 Cor. 1:2 with Psalm 116:4; John 14:14 He is worshiped, Matt. 2:2,11; 14:33; John 9:35-38; Heb. 1:6 He cleanses from sin, 1 John 1:9 He forgives sins, Matt. 9:1-7; Luke 5:20; 7:48 He is the image of the invisible God, Heb. 1:3 He gives eternal life, John 10:28 He has all authority, Matthew 28:18 He is the light of the world, John 8:12 He came to save, John 3:17 He came to die and destroy Satan’s power, Heb. 2:14 John 20:28, “Thomas answered and said to Him, ‘My Lord and my God!'” Col. 2:9, “For in Him all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form.” Heb. 1:8, “But of the Son He says, “Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever…” 1 Peter 3:15, "15 but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect, ..."
@@CAnswersTV I understand what you are saying, but I think there is a BIG difference between following another religion/gospel (such as being Muslim or other religions) where you believe in Jesus’ existence but don’t accept him as Lord and Savior and son of God. I think most Christians truly are believing in and accepting the Jesus of the Bible. He also knows our hearts and whether it is him we seek vs some false idol or false god. I cannot for a second believe that anyone who truly accepts Jesus and believes in him as the son of God and he who died on the cross and was resurrected would be doomed to hell just because they are of a different denomination (Presbyterian, Baptist, etc.) and may interpret certain versus different. Even Adventists don’t know if they are 100% correct in their interpretations.

@@ronnodoyo662 - Seventh Day Adventism qualifies as a non Christian anti Christ cult due to the following reasons: 1. It is built on the woman Ellen G. White & her teachings despite the Bible saying women are not permitted to teach or usurp authority over men (1 Timothy 2:12, "But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.") See links at www.sermonaudio.com/sermoninfo.asp?SID=112706102442, www.sermonaudio.com/sermoninfo.asp?SID=59131749272 & th-cam.com/video/Ql_obI6wA9w/w-d-xo.html). 2. Ellen White claimed to be equal with the Biblical prophets & apostles through her many writings (sort of a "Spirit of Prophecy") & her SDA followers believed her (2 Peter 3:16); see www.truthorfables.com/EGW_Writings_Infallible.htm. Question: Are there modern day prophets or is there a need for prophets today? Answer: In the New Testament, the gift of the office of prophet was a temporary one granted by God for the purpose of building His Church. Contrary to the apostles, who had broad ministries, these men had localized ministries within local churches, as we see illustrated in such places as Acts 11:21-28 and Acts 13:1.Scripture shows us that the prophets of the New Testament had two primary purposes:They were gifted men given to the Church and appointed by God (Eph. 4:11, 1 Cor. 12:28) for the purpose of helping to lay the foundation of the Church (Eph. 2:20). They, like the apostles, received God’s revelation (Eph. 3:5) and truth and proclaimed it to their churches. It is important to remember that the early Church did not have a completed Bible, so God granted this revelation for the purpose of teaching His message to the Church. The New Testament prophets also spoke forth and taught the apostles’ doctrine. Everything taught by these prophets had to be consistent with the teaching of the apostles (1 Cor. 14:36-37). So, are prophets still needed today? Looking at the two functions listed above, we can see that the office of prophet is one that is no longer necessary and has ceased within the Church because:The foundation of the Church was laid long ago. God’s revealed Word was completed with the close of the New Testament canon. The Church’s foundation does not need to be laid again and there is no need for further revelation beyond what God has provided for us in His complete Word, the Bible. Today we are blessed to have Scripture as our complete and final authority in all things (2 Tim. 3:16-17). If someone now claims to have received a “special revelation,” we must test it against Scripture. If it is contrary to the Word of God, then it must be rejected. If it is consistent with Scripture, then we have to ask why an “extra” word was necessary if its truth is already contained in the Bible. So while we always need men who are willing to proclaim boldly the Word of God as contained in Scripture (as pastors, teachers, and evangelists), there is no need for the office of “prophet” as it existed in the New Testament. 3. Ellen G. White is a false prophet due to her false & failed prophecies (Deuteronomy 18:19-22); see www.mmoutreachinc.com/seventh_day_adventists/egw_false_prophet.html, 1timothy4-13.com/files/bible/sda_morefailed.html & www.bible.ca/7-prophecy-blunders.htm. 4. Ellen G. White had delusional dreams & visions much like phony Charismatic & Pentecostal TV preachers do today; see www.truthorfables.com/Visons_of_%20EGW_by_Snook_&_Brinkerhoff.htm & th-cam.com/video/Kbv7YsyMf0I/w-d-xo.html. 5. Seventh Day Adventism has a damnable false gospel (Galatians 1:6-10) for several reasons: a) Satan is the final sin bearer for Seventh Day Adventists; see www.truthorfables.com/Scapegoat.htm & www.truthorfables.net/50-contradictions-satan-bears-sins.htm, b) They say Jesus had a sinful nature just like fallen man otherwise He can't be a Savior; see kentbrandenburg.blogspot.com/2011/09/seventh-day-adventisms-anti.html & jesus-is-savior.com/False%20Religions/Seventh-Day%20Adventist/sda_exposed.htm, c) Ellen G. White taught the cult doctrine of the 1844 investigative judgment of Jesus in the heavenly sanctuary for the purpose of allowing Seventh Day Adventists final access to heaven while all others would be destroyed; see www.truthorfables.com/investigative_judgment_made_simple.htm, www.truthorfables.com/white_elephant.htm, www.truthorfables.com/My_Testimony.htm, www.truthorfables.com/SDA_Cult.htm & th-cam.com/video/J50HlZFYHtY/w-d-xo.html, d) Seventh Day Adventism denies the New Testament Christian gospel by saying Old Testament "Saturday" Sabbath keeping is essential for salvation; see www.truthorfables.com/Sabbath_Not_A_Law.htm, www.truthorfables.net/who-changed-the-sabbath-a.htm, www.truthorfables.com/Sabbath_is_Friday.htm & th-cam.com/video/w0L3rSSL_H8/w-d-xo.html, e) Although SDAs say they believe in salvation by grace they redefine the meaning of grace in order to incorporate into their religious system a salvation by law keeping to achieve final works righteousness; mmoutreachinc.com/seventh_day_adventists/sda_law.html, searchingthescriptures.net/main_pages/answering_cults/seventh_day_adventism/sda_a_cult.htm & th-cam.com/video/aIh3T31ujuU/w-d-xo.html. If the apostle Paul cursed the Galatian Judaizers to hell for adding only one stipulation to the gospel which was circumcision then how much more would he curse the SDAs for all their added terms & conditions to the simple gospel of grace (Ephesians 2:8-9, "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast." Cross reference this to Galatians 2:16, "Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified."). 6. Seven Day Adventists teach the false doctrine of soul sleep; see carm.org/soul-sleep, www.sermonaudio.com/sermoninfo.asp?SID=12151314134510, www.sermonaudio.com/sermoninfo.asp?SID=85122122530 & www.casagrandebaptistchurch.com/SoulSleep.html. 7. SDAs teach the false doctrine of the annihilation out of existence of the wicked including Satan & his demons rather than an eternal conscious punishment in a never ending lake of fire; carm.org/clear-word-bible-annihilationism, "Eternal Punishment, part 1" at www.sermonaudio.com/sermoninfo.asp?SID=12607145320 & "Eternal Punishment, part 2" at www.sermonaudio.com/sermoninfo.asp?sid=12607143539 where at the same time this refutes the arguments of universalists, annihilationists & heretics who say God is "all loving" & would not torment the wicked forever while they ignore the fact that God hates the wicked (Psalm 5:4-6, 11:5, Hosea 9:15, etc.; see our video "The God of the Bible Does Not Love Everybody But Actually Hates Many Instead (Romans 9:22)" at th-cam.com/video/0zHEJCHgQVg/w-d-xo.html, www.sermonaudio.com/sermoninfo.asp?SID=91713193277, www.jashow.org/wiki/index.php?title=Annihilationism, www.sermonaudio.com/sermoninfo.asp?SID=94081054442, www.sermonaudio.com/sermoninfo.asp?SID=9110884114, www.sermonaudio.com/sermoninfo.asp?SID=219131311338, th-cam.com/video/_O-LMpP6bAg/w-d-xo.html & see our playlist "Dealing with Hell, Lake of Fire, Unpopular Bible Doctrines" with 30 videos at th-cam.com/play/PLE04A1D0DFE95B95E.html. 8. SDAs support alternate Bible translations that pervert the written word of God thus placing themselves under the curse of Revelation 22:18-19, "For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: 19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book."

THE MORE IMPORTANT IS THE RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD DAILY AND DO HIS WILL *REPENT OF YOUR SINS *PRAY *READ THE BIBLE EVERY DAY AND MEMORIZE HIS WORD *BE BAPTIZED IN THE DEATH OF CHRIST *OBEY THE TEN COMMANDMENTS *WORSHIP THE LORD EVERY DAY *SHARE THE GOSPEL WITH OTHERS
It's not about being righteous; its about being true to yourself. It's about evolving within the Love of God, and at the same time allowing yourself to acknowledge, that there will always be those times when you could have thought and done things better. Attempting to attain righteousness through law, which is what the history of Israel is about, is futility. Law is a standard which none under it can ever perfectly attain, consciously or unconsciously. (We all break the speed limit, knowingly or unknowingly.) Following a standard of good and bad doesn't make you feel good, it makes you feel bad. This is because it always reveals your shortcomings. This is also why for those under the Law of Moses it resulted in a defiled consience and condemnation. And there was never any escape. It's when you're set free from trying to attain anything and are being your true self as one who is moved (as I believe we all are) from the persuasion and ethic of Love, that you mature and reveal "righteousness".
@Nicole-gm3kq, these days that can be a very difficult task! See our video "Bible Says Most Will Go to Eternal Damnation But a Few Will Receive God's Grace & Go To Eternal Joy" at th-cam.com/video/tlLkoB7yIhU/w-d-xo.html . Question: "What factors should one consider when trying to find a good local church?" Hebrews 10:25, "Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching." Answer: When trying to find a good local church, it’s good to remember that, just like the people in them, no church is perfect. However, there are many important issues that should be considered when choosing a church. Some people live close to only a few churches, and their choices will be limited, but for others there are many more options. Be sure to pray about the churches you’re considering, to be sure you’re following the Lord’s leading as you search. Begin your search online, or in a local phone book, to see all of your options. Be especially sure to read a church’s doctrinal statement or statement of belief to find out about their stance on important issues. If from this initial research a church seems to be good and solid, visit the church (including small groups or Sunday schools classes) several weeks while prayerfully considering whether to join as a member. Listed below are some important things you should consider in your search to find a church. 1. What is being preached and taught? The Bible is clear that we should only listen to those who preach the true gospel of Jesus Christ (Galatians 1:6-9). If any other message is being given in its place, then it is not a Christ-following church and you should move on to another one (Ephesians 1:22; 4:15, Colossians 1:18). The church should be speaking God’s truth as given to us through His inspired Word, the Bible (2 Timothy 3:15-17). The truth of the gospel is that we are sinners (Romans 3:23), that we need a savior, and that Jesus is the only way of salvation (Romans 6:23, Ephesians 2:8-9). The gospel, as well as all the other teachings of the Bible, should be taught accurately and consistently. Besides the message of salvation, churches vary when it comes to their views on the Trinity, the authority of the Bible, eternal security, free will, God’s sovereignty, election of the saints, eschatology (beliefs about the end times), and other theological issues. These are all important issues that we should seek to understand, and, as much as we are able, we should choose a church based on the beliefs we have about these and other church doctrines. If you don’t know where you stand on these issues, you should try to find a church that emphasizes and teaches that the Bible is God’s inspired word and that believes in God’s sovereignty. God’s sovereignty is seen in the fact that God is lovingly and powerfully in control of all of history, and working in all our lives to ensure His plan is carried out in every detail and in His perfect ways (though often not understood by us). Avoid a church where you’re told that God only wants happiness, good health, success, and wealth for you; the Bible says that, as Christians, we should expect persecution and suffering for the cause of Christ (Matthew 5). God uses our pain to encourage others and to grow us. While God desires us to be happy, He is more concerned with our holiness than our temporal happiness. 2. Is the church a place of fellowship and community? The early church of Acts 2:42-47 “devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone was filled with awe, and many wonders and miraculous signs were done by the apostles. All the believers were together and had everything in common. Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread [Holy Communion] together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved." Fellowship should indeed include the observance of God’s ordinances for the church-communion (the Lord’s Supper) and believers’ baptism (Acts 2:38). Also, the church you choose should be welcoming to all. We should welcome sinners yet speak the truth to them about their sin. The people of the church should be committed to encouraging one another to grow in Christ (1 Thessalonians 5:11). Sometimes it’s hard to find a church where people don’t just show up on Sunday, but instead truly invest in each others’ lives. Part of this investment is seen in how active and important Sunday school classes, community groups, small groups, youth groups, and other support groups are within the church. If you are a parent, it is especially important that your children find an enjoyable and meaningful group to join during the formative years of their lives. Many kids don’t have Christian friends at their schools and desperately need this peer influence in their lives (Ephesians 6:4). While married couples are usually abundant in churches, it can be more difficult for people in other life stages to connect in some churches. If you are single, divorced, widowed, or have been abused, look for churches that include others who are in the same stage or experience as you. 3. Is the church focused on reaching out to others, outside the church, with the message of the gospel and practical service? Christ commanded us to carry the gospel to the ends of the earth, to all unreached peoples (Matthew 28:19-20). The church should be leading its members in this, preparing them to share the gospel with their neighbors and supporting or even leading local or international missions trips. We should be caring for the poor, the widowed, and everyone whom we can help (James 1:22-27, 1 Peter 4:10). Some churches don’t have the resources to reach out to the community with formal groups, but the individuals in the church should be volunteering in the community and serving their neighbors, on their own or with friends. Be sure to also look for a place to serve within your church. 4. Does the style of music fit with your taste or preferences? The older hymns are often rich with truth and important doctrines that can bolster our faith, and there are also many newer songs and choruses that are uplifting and encouraging. The purpose of music in a church should be to lead the people closer to the Lord in worship and adoration. Many of us are used to one style of music as opposed to another, just out of habit or childhood experiences. While music style should be taken into consideration, it should not be the deciding factor in finding a good church. 5. Best choices: 1.Try doing an internet search for Reformed Baptist churches in your area & see what comes up & go visit (there's not that many of them out there but I believe Reformed Baptists are the closest to what the Bible actually teaches doctrinally - farese.com/ ). 2. If that doesn't work try a Bible believing Baptist church but they can easily be filled with all the problems you have already been experiencing so you must be discerning in what each Baptist church you come across is doing (there can be the good, the bad & the ugly so be careful). 3. If that doesn't work try a "Bible Church" but you'll have to investigate what their doctrinal statement is in each case. 4. If that doesn't work you could try an Orthodox Presbyterian Church but I really don't like their stand on infant baptism & their form of covenant theology (for more on this see our video "The Faulty Presuppositions of Dispensationalism & Covenant Theology (Including Infant Baptism)" at th-cam.com/video/bkUzH914IzM/w-d-xo.html). 5. Anything beyond these options & you're getting into real danger of doctrinal error from false prophets. Beware of Pentecostal & Charismatic churches - see our video series starting with "Blasphemous Charismatic & Pentecostal Mayhem #1: Mad Delusional Experiences Replace Scripture Alone" at th-cam.com/video/Kbv7YsyMf0I/w-d-xo.html 6.

Matthew 7:15, "Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves."
Charito Gimena - Seventh-day Adventism is a damnable cult of a demon possessed woman because she claimed a person could not make it through the 1844 investigative judgment of Christ (see our video "Cult Doctrine of Seventh-day Adventism: 1844 Probation & Satan As A Final Sin Bearer for Adventists" at th-cam.com/video/J50HlZFYHtY/w-d-xo.html) without keeping the Sabbath. By making Sabbath Keeping a requirement for salvation the Seventh-day Adventists commit the same type of damnable heresy as the Judaizers did in Galatians 1:6-9 who only required circumcision. Ellen G. White required a lot more things to achieve salvation for her deluded investigative probation judgment (including the "Reform Dress" for women) & many other things than the Judaizers, who were damned by the apostle Paul, ever dreamed of. Ellen G. White makes the Judaizers look like antinomians! Of course both groups are destined for hell in the end. Besides all this Seventh-day Adventists as well as the Black Hebrew Israelites (see our video "Myths of the Black Hebrew Israelites: Theological Racism, Black King James Only, Apocrypha, Whites" at th-cam.com/video/9TiqBceXoH8/w-d-xo.html) & others do not keep the Sabbath the way the Old Testament says to keep the Sabbath thus they are self deluded hypocrites to say the least. HOW TO KEEP THE SABBATH What Is required in keeping the Sabbath according to Mosaic Law: 1. No work done at all (Ex. 20: 10; Lev. 23: 3; Jer. 17:21-22). No watering the lawn, no working in the yard, no hobbies, no surfing, no fixing flat tires, etc. By law if a person did not stop all types of activity in honor of the Sabbath, he was breaking the law. In Numbers 15:32-36 a man was caught collecting sticks on the Sabbath, and he received a rock concert from the people he knew. 2 No kindling of a fire (Ex. 35:3). No fellowship cookouts or barbecues. You can't go into a restaurant and get a hamburger that's been flame broiled, you can't cook eggs, or pancakes in the morning because you'd be kindling a fire for cooking. To drive a car would be to "kindle a fire" In the combustion chamber of your engine. 3. No traveling (Ex. 16:29). Later the Jews added to this law, allowing only a half mile of travel on the Sabbath which we see observed in the NT. But the pure law says "stay at home." Actually, If you kept this part of the law, you could not travel to your church gathering unless it was less than one-quarter mile away from home. If you had an emergency you could not drive to the hospital. 4. No trading (Amos 8:5). If you happened to need gas to get to church service, you could not "trade" money for gasoline. You would not be allowed to buy a cassette tape of that morning's message or a book at the store. There is to be No exchanging of money for goods. If you worked with stocks and you needed to sell you couldn’t. 5. No marketing (Neh. 10:31; 13:15,19). Make sure you do no shopping whatsoever. You can't buy any ice cream for dessert after dinner or anything else. If you run out of food or drink at home you can’t go out to purchase any, you can’t even by a stick of gum. 6. "... a holy assembly with double the daily offering along with the other offerings. In other words, you are to give twice as much on the Sabbath (Num. 28:9).Do we practiced this today In compliance with Old Testament law. Do Sabbatarian's really practice the law? I have yet to see people go to Shabbat and give twice as much each week. 7. New showbread In the holy place (Lev. 24:8). Of course this cannot be done today since there is no temple, so this part of the Sabbath cannot be followed by the church. The fact Is the Sabbath was not made for the gentiles, but for the Jews and their generations Ex. 31:12-17). It's a law given between God and the Jews. 8. The last part of the requirements for keeping the Sabbath day law Is the penalty for breaking It. DEATH (Numbers 15:32-36)! Do Seventh-day Adventists keep the Sabbath the way the Bible says to keep it? No because they are religious hypocrites. They don't even stone violators. Exodus 31:14 --"Therefore you are to observe the Sabbath, for it is holy to you. Everyone who profanes it shall surely be put to death; for whoever does any work on it, that person shall be cut off from among his people."

White's plagiarism - Ellen White's books/testimonies contain a large amount of material Mrs. White and her group of college educated secretaries plagiarized from non-inspired authors. She had a library of 1200 books to copy from. Ellen White did not give credit for her sources, while she led her followers to believe the material she wrote came from the throne of God. "In these letters which I write, in the testimonies I bear, I am presenting to you that which the Lord has presented to me. I do not write one article in the paper expressing merely my own ideas. They are what God has opened before me in vision--the precious rays of light shining from the throne." Testimonies for the Church Vol. 5 (1882-1889), page 67.

Matthew 7:15-16, “Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits.

Three things define a cult. 1. They have a “ prophet” 2. They have another source of authority besides the Bible I.e. another gospel 3. They believe that only they will go to heaven and that only if they obey its laws.
@@starwillows2836 - This is true but remember what Jesus Himself said in Matthew 24:24, "For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect." In Matthew 7:15-20 Jesus said, “Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. 16 By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17 Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them." The Apostle Paul warned in Acts 20:27-30, " For I have not hesitated to proclaim to you the whole will of God. 28 Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God,[a] which he bought with his own blood.[b] 29 I know that after I leave, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock. 30 Even from your own number men will arise and distort the truth in order to draw away disciples after them. 31 So be on your guard! Remember that for three years I never stopped warning each of you night and day with tears." Jesus, the apostles & the prophets of the Old Testament declared that the Scriptures came from God not from men - see 100 verses showing the scripture is from God at www.openbible.info/topics/word_of_god (see also our video called "Both Fake Christians & Pagans Deny the Bible & Jesus Alike Since Jesus Said Holy Scripture is True" at th-cam.com/video/A0B9B2Mcb6M/w-d-xo.html). Thus the Bible scriptures are from God but false prophets distort & pervert the word of God creating cults & false religions.
@Maryanne Tuakana Teariki - Your statement may sound good to you but from the Bible perspective your statement is as false as can be - 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12, "9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness." The Bible tells us to expose error (Ephesians 5:11, "And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them."). And to expose error we must make righteous judgments. Christians must judge in order to: 1. Try the spirits to see if they are from God, for many false prophets are in the world. (1 John 4:1). 2. Mark & avoid false teachers, slaves of their own bellies, deceiving many with their smooth & flattering speech (Romans 16:17-18). 3. Rebuke false teachers, rebellious men, & deceivers who subvert whole families with their false doctrine. (Titus 1:9-16) 4. Have no fellowship with immoral, impure, or covetous men. (Ephesians 5:5-7) 5. Receive not deceivers who do not abide in the teaching of Christ into our homes, nor giving them any greeting. (2 John 7-11) 6. Be wary of those who preach another gospel. (2 Corinthians 11:4, Galatians 1:6-9) Even David, who feared touching one of God's anointed, did not hesitate to judge & expose Saul's sin before the world. "Out of the wicked comes forth wickedness." (1 Samuel 24:10, 12-13) Thus, shouldn't true Christians, following the Biblical standards laid down, judge & expose the sins of false teachers, prophets & immoral brothers in the church; all those who would pollute the truth with perverted doctrines or watered-down teachings which tickle the ear? "Bible Says Most Will Go to Eternal Damnation But a Few Will Receive God's Grace & Go To Eternal Joy" at th-cam.com/video/tlLkoB7yIhU/w-d-xo.html . 2 Timothy 4:2-5, "preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with [a]great patience and instruction. 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires, 4 and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths. 5 But you, be sober in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.". Our ministry, Christian Answers of Austin, Texas / Christian Debater, has attempted to do just that in order to protect the sheep of God from the many ravenous wolves that exist at every turn. TH-cam Channel : th-cam.com/users/CAnswersTV. “Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them, Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.” -Luke 13:23-24 Do you understand the question in the above Scripture? “Lord, are there few that be saved?” Someone came to Jesus and wanted to know if “few” people were saved. It's interesting that the person didn't ask if “many” people were saved. Evidently the person had been listening to Jesus' preaching and became convinced that few people were really saved. When the Bible speaks of being “saved,” it means saved from God's wrath upon Christ-rejecting sinners in Hell (for more on hell see our playlist "Dealing with Hell, Lake of Fire, Unpopular Bible Doctrines" with 30 videos at th-cam.com/play/PLE04A1D0DFE95B95E.html & "Eternal Punishment, Part 1" at www.sermonaudio.com/sermoninfo.asp?SID=12607145320 & "Eternal Punishment, Part 2" at www.sermonaudio.com/sermoninfo.asp?SID=12607143539). Romans 5:9, “Much more then, being now justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.” All Christ-rejecters go to Hell if they die in their sins. If a person is “saved,” then they are going to Heaven when they die. Romans 10:13, “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” We are saved from the eternal consequences of sin, which is punishment in hellfire. To be saved is synonymous with being “born again.” When a person becomes a born-again child of God, they are saved eternally. EVERY human being MUST to be saved (i.e., born again) to enter into Heaven. John 3:3, “Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” If a person dies in their sins without believing on Jesus as the Savior, the Son of God, they will burn in Hell forever (Revelation 20:11-15).Just as the disciple who asked Jesus the question in Luke 13:23, I myself often wonder how few are truly born again believers. I dare say not many. Let's consider the question again...“Lord, are there few that be saved?” There are over one billion Catholics in the world who errantly believe that the Catholic Church is going to save them. Roman Catholics do not trust Jesus Christ alone; but rather, rely upon manmade traditions and self-righteous works to save them. According to the Word of God, genuine Catholics are hellbound in their sins because they are trusting in self-righteousness (Romans 3:20; 10:3-4; Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:5, see our playlist "Dealing with Roman Catholicism, Idolatry & the Virgin Mary" with 129 videos & counting at th-cam.com/play/PLFFA8D69D1B914715.html). There are over one billion Islamic Muslims in the world who deny that Jesus Christ ever died upon a cross for our sins (see our playlist "Dealing with Islam, Muslims: Sunni, Shi'ite, Alawites, Sufis" with 67 videos at th-cam.com/play/PL1C7F68B548009FDD.html). According to the Bible, they are antichrists and liars on their way to Hell (1st John 2:22-23). There are over 183,000 cults in Japan alone that deny Jesus Christ as the only Savior of the world. Other false religions include Scientology, Hinduism, Wicca, Buddhism, Seventh Day Adventism, Zoroastrianism, Greek Orthodox, Judaism, Jehovah Witness, Mormonism, Freemasonry, and many more (see our TH-cam channel CAnswersTV at th-cam.com/users/CAnswersTV with over 615 videos covering most of these anti Christian religions in detail). Why do I call them “false religions”? It's simply because they all corrupt the Biblical teaching of salvation, i.e., the gospel (see our playlist "Dealing with Anti Trinitarians (UPC) & Early Church History" with 48 videos at th-cam.com/play/PL9931642C7C8FFEAB.html). Most false religions ADD works to faith. Mormons and Jehovah Witnesses DENY the deity of Jesus Christ (i.e., that He is Almighty God) - see our playlists "Dealing with Mormonism, the Religion of Mitt Romney & Utah" with 20 videos at th-cam.com/play/PL11CD0EE613306BB5.html & "Dealing with Jehovah's Witnesses, Watchtower Society" with 22 videos at th-cam.com/play/PLCF0ADB29C0EB8C40.html. Seventh Day Adventists falsely and deceitfully redefine faith to mean works (see our playlist, "Dealing with Seventh-day Adventism & Their "Prophetess" with 23 videos at th-cam.com/play/PL5316CC6F66F24283.html). There are hundreds of millions of followers of Hinduism who deny Jesus as the Savior, the Son of God (see our playlist "Dealing with Anti Christ Cults, "New Age" & World Religions" with 42 videos at th-cam.com/play/PL69A3047B3497590A.html). Judaism denies that Jesus is the Messiah. The same Pharisaical Jews who crucified Jesus 2,000 years ago are crucifying Him today. /watch?v=veCdGzYsc70.

Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?"
I have had Adventists write and tell me that Ellen G. White (EGW) never claimed to be a prophet or prophetess in their attempt to excuse her from her failed visions and Bible contradictions. Is this a valid excuse? How did EGW respond to the questions about her being a prophetess? EGW: No Claim to the Title "Prophetess."--During the discourse [at Battle Creek, October 2, 1904], I said that I did not claim to be a prophetess. Some were surprised at this statement, and as much is being said in regard to it, I will make an explanation. Others have called me a prophetess, but I have never assumed that title. I have not felt that it was my duty thus to designate myself. Those who boldly assume that they are prophets in this our day are often a reproach to the cause of Christ. -Letter 55, 1905, Selected Messages, Book 3, page 74. Note: There were false prophets in Biblical days and that did not keep the messengers of God (true prophets) from accepting the title of "prophets". The proof of a prophet is in the works of the prophet not in the title. Regardless of EGW's title whether prophetess or Messenger of the Lord, she was a reproach to the cause of Christ by contradicting the Word of God and having failed visions. EGW: When I was last in Battle Creek, I said before a large congregation that I did not claim to be a prophetess. Twice I referred to this matter, intending each time to make the statement, "I do not claim to be a prophetess." If I spoke otherwise than this, let all now understand that what I had in mind to say was that I do not claim the title of prophet or prophetess. -Selected Messages, Book 1, page 35. Note: Ellen White had a hard time making up her mind whether or not she was a prophet after opening her mouth to the public that she was not a prophet. If you notice EGW was not denying being a prophetess, but that she was not claiming "the title of prophet or prophetess." EGW: My work includes much more than this name signifies. I regard myself as a messenger, entrusted by the Lord with messages for His people. -Letter 55, 1905, Selected Messages, book 1, pp. 32, 35, 36. The Work of a Prophet and More. --I am now instructed that I am not to be hindered in my work by those who engage in suppositions regarding its nature, whose minds are struggling with so many intricate problems connected with the supposed work of a prophet. My commission embraces the work of a prophet, but it does not end there. It embraces much more than the minds of those who have been sowing the seeds of unbelief can comprehend. -Letter 244, 1906. Addressed to elders of the Battle Creek church; See Selected Messages, book 1, pp. 34-36. Note: EGW never tells us what her work is that was "more than that of a prophet." She tells us it is just "to bear God's word." EGW is telling us she had a "commission" of a prophet, but her work did not end there. Again EGW, is telling us she was a prophet even though she did not claim the title. How can this be? A prophet is a prophet regardless of the work God assigns to them. Ellen White knew exactly what she was saying when she wanted to be called "the Lord's Messenger" and what it implied. So when Ellen G. White referred to herself as "the Lord's Messenger" she was using Bible language to claim equality with John the Baptist, Malachi, Haggai, and other Old Testament prophets. In other words, all her double-talk about not calling herself a "prophet" is simply garbage! She used the term "Messenger" which was specifically used of prophets and priests. Mal 2:7 (NIV) ""For the lips of a priest ought to preserve knowledge, and from his mouth men should seek instruction-because he is the messenger of the LORD Almighty." Hag. 1:13 (NIV) Then Haggai, the LORD’S messenger, gave this message of the LORD to the people: “I am with you,” declares the LORD. Mat 11:9, 10 (NIV) "Then what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet." "This is the one about whom it is written: "'I will send my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way before you.'" AReviewThe SDA Church understands that Ellen G. White was a prophet to their church and put her picture on the cover of the Adventist Review along with Moses, John the Baptist, and Deborah, Adventist Review June 4, 1992. Associate Editor Roy Adams wrote an article, "A Prophet for Our Time, Sizing Up Ellen G. White", in this edition, pp. 8,9. EGW: The Privilege of Being God's Messenger.--I am very thankful that the Lord has given me the privilege of being His messenger to communicate precious truth to others. -Letter 80, 1911, Selected Messages, Book 3, page 76. Note: EGW must have been a very special person for God to give her the privilege of being his messenger. This was the first time since John the Baptist that God had called anyone his "messenger" Matt. 11:10. It took nearly 2000 years for a miracle of this magnitude to take place in the person of EGW in 1845. Wow! EGW's "truth" has been a failure of her visions, huge amounts of Bible contradictions, unscientific health reform information, and the ability to enforce this on her church. Any opened minded person should be able to see clearly that EGW was not God's Messenger, but a False Prophet. God would never allow a true prophet to put out such garbage. All the people that heard EGW's so called "truth" are now dead. You would think that if God would call a "messenger" to speak to people that are alive just before his coming, the message would not contradict his word. God has allowed false prophets to exist and function in times past. God has given us the Holy Spirit and the Scriptures to test the prophets. Jesus and the Apostles warn us not to follow false prophets. EGW: Early in my youth I was asked several times, Are you a prophet? I have ever responded, I am the Lord's messenger. I know that many have called me a prophet, but I have made no claim to this title. My Saviour declared me to be his messenger. "Your work," he instructed me," is to bear my word. Strange things will arise, and in your youth I set you apart to bear the message to the erring ones, to carry the word before unbelievers, and with pen and voice to reprove from the Word actions that are not right. Exhort from the Word. I will make my Word open to you. It shall not be as a strange language. In the true eloquence of simplicity, with voice and pen, the messages that I give shall be heard from one who has never learned in the schools. My Spirit and my power shall be with you. -Advent Review and Sabbath Herald, July 26, 1906. Note: This is more of EGW's double talk that she does not claim the title of a prophet. If I paint houses and someone asks me if I am a painter and I say, my work is more than painting houses as I am a house decorator, but if they wish to call me a painter, I have no quarrel with them. Am I not assuming the title of "painter?" For more see www.truthorfables.com/EGW_Not_a_Prophetess.htm. Cult of Ellen White: Adventist Church declares Ellen White to be the infallible interpreter of scripture. Review and Herald June 3, 1971 "The Bible is an infallible guide, but it needs to be infallibly interpreted to avoid confusion and division. When will the people of God cease trusting their own wisdom; when will they come to the place where they will cease to measure construe and interpret, by their own reason, what God says to them through His APPOINTED CHANNEL? When we come to the place where we place no trust in man or in the wisdom of man but UNQUESTIONABLY accept and act upon what God says through this GIFT, then will the SPIRIT OF PROPHECY as set before us in the Bible and as witnessed in the present manifestation of this gift be confirmed among us and become in fact, the counselor, guide and FINAL COURT OF APPEAL among God's people".

Larry Wessels, director of Christian Answers of Austin, Texas/ Christian Debater, websites: www.BibleQuery.org, www.HistoryCart.com, & www.MuslimHope.com, email: cdebater@aol.com) is joined in studio by former Seventh Day Adventist pastor Dale Ratzlaff (email: dale@ratzlaf.com) who relates his personal testimony of why he left the Seventh Day Adventist religion & why Ellen G. White is a false prophet. Dale is author of Sabbath in Christ, The Cultic Doctrine of Seventh-day Adventists, The Truth About the Seventh-day Adventist Truth, and Adventist to Christian. Dale was an Adventist pastor for 13 years, seven of which he spent teaching Bible at Monterey Bay Academy , La Selva Beach, California. During his doctoral studies at Andrews University in the 1980’s, Dale became convinced that the 1844 investigative judgment could not be supported by Scripture. Since he could no longer teach this doctrine, he and his wife Carolyn left the Adventist denomination. The Seventh-day Adventist doctrine of the investigative judgment and cleansing of the heavenly Sanctuary based upon Daniel 8:14 is indeed the central pillar of the Adventist faith. Some Adventists may disagree; however, it is. Ellen White said, “The scripture which above all others had been both the foundation and central pillar of the Advent faith was the declaration, ‘Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed’. A recent book by Dr. Roy Adams is subtitled, Understanding the Heart of Adventist Theology, and it confirms this.The Adult Sabbath School Bible Study Guide, 2001, is entitled, Pillars of Our Faith. It includes chapters on “The Sabbath”, “The Heavenly Sanctuary”, “The Hour of God’s Judgment”, “The Remnant”, etc. The last two presidents of the General Conference have both expressed publicly that the Adventist church will not change. •Ellen G. White said that Daniel 8:14 is the foundation and central pillar of the Advent faith. •A recent book on the sanctuary by Adventist leader Dr. Roy Adams is subtitled, The heart of Adventist theology. •A recent Adult Sabbath School Bible Study Guide, entitled, The pillars of our faith includes chapters on the “The Sabbath”, “The Heavenly Sanctuary”, “The Hour of God’s Judgment”, and “The Remnant”. It includes this quotation from Early Writings, p. 263, “Jesus entered the most holy of the heavenly, at the end of the 2300 days of Daniel 8, in 1844, to make final atonement for all who could be benefitted by His mediation, and thus to cleanse the sanctuary.” •Dr. Roy Gane stated that he was excited to know that Ratzlaff understood that the sanctuary was central to Adventists. •Dr. Richard Davidson referred to the sanctuary as the heart of doctrine. •Dr. Angel Rodriguez, professor of theology at the Adventist seminary and associate director of the Adventist Biblical Research Institute, stated forthrightly, “Without 1844 and the doctrine of the Sanctuary ... there is no reason for us to exist. 1844 provided for us our identity and our mission. And if we are wrong, then we are simply wrong.” We can see that the stakes are high. There are many, perhaps the majority, of Adventist pastors and Bible teachers who want to run as far away from Daniel 8:14, 1844 and the investigative judgment, and the cleansing of the heavenly sanctuary as possible. Yet the church cannot dismiss this doctrine. This doctrine is not only the central pillar in name, it is the central pillar holding up the whole Adventist identity. That is why the last two General Conference presidents have openly endorsed Ellen White and the sanctuary doctrine. If they were to admit the errors of October 22, 1844, and the investigative judgment as the cleansing of the heavenly sanctuary as taught by Ellen White, then Ellen White would fall as “a continuing and authoritative source of truth”.
Here is something else worthy of note. EGW claims to be the 'lesser light' yet Genesis 1:16 says, "And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the *lesser light to rule the night* : he made the stars also." NIGHT = Hebrew: הַלַּיְלָה לַיִל layil night night (as opposed to day) of gloom, protective shadow (fig.) Greek: νύξ noox night metaph. the time when work ceases the time of death the time for deeds of sin and shame the time of moral stupidity and darkness the time when the weary and also the drunken give themselves up to slumber Jesus said in John 11:10: "But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him."

The Seventh Day Adventist False Religion: A False Religion: The 7th Day Adventists were originally called Millerites because their group was founded by William Miller, a false prophet who predicted Jesus would return in either 1843 or 1844. When Miller’s prediction of Christ’s second coming failed to come to pass, the Millerites disbanded in dismay; this event became known as the “Great Disappointment.” But then a couple of Miller’s followers claimed to have visions (lies to support their false religion) to account for the failed prophecy. Instead of coming to earth, Jesus had entered the heavenly temple-thus, Miller was right, after all, they said, except his prophecy had a spiritual fulfillment instead of a physical one. One of the seers who covered for Miller was 17-year-old Ellen G. Harmon, who had her first of 2,000 purported visions in a prayer meeting shortly after Miller’s disgrace. With her vision, Ellen soon became a beacon of hope for disillusioned Millerites. She united Adventist factions and became the spiritual guide for a new religious group. Right from the start the Seventh Day Adventists were a false religion with false prophets and false biblical teachings! Other problematic doctrines in Seventh-day Adventism include the teaching that Satan is the “scapegoat” and will bear believers’ sins (The Great Controversy, p. 422, 485)-this is the opposite of what the Bible says about who bore our sins whom is Jesus (1 Peter 2:21-24). Seventh-day Adventism also identifies Jesus as Michael the archangel (source: Jude 1:9 of their Clear Word Bible, published by Review and Herald Publishing Association, 1994)-a doctrine that denies the true nature of Christ, and teaches that Jesus entered a second phase of His redemptive work on October 22nd, 1844, as prophesied by Hiram Edson. The Clear Word Bible is the bible the Adventists created for themselves to support their false doctrines; it’s a Seventh-day Adventist paraphrase of the Bible that alters numerous verses to bring them in line with SDA doctrine. And, of course, the Adventist promotion of Sabbath-keeping as a primary doctrine goes against the teaching of Scripture on the matter (see Romans 14:5). Seventh-Day Adventism is a diverse movement, and not all SDA groups hold to all the doctrines mentioned above. But all Seventh-Day Adventists should seriously consider the following: a recognized prophetess in their church was a teacher of aberrant doctrine, and their church has its roots in the failed prophecies of William Miller. Due to the penchant of Adventists to accept extra-biblical revelation and the doctrinal issues mentioned above, one would strongly encourage believers to not get involved in Seventh-day Adventism. The Bible says suffer not a woman to teach (1 Timothy 2:12-15) contradicting Ellen G. White’s leadership; the Bible says that it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment (Hebrews 9:27-28) and that when unbelievers die they go to Hell as the wrath of God abides upon them (John 3:36; Revelation 21:8) and that unbelievers will lift up their eyes in Hell being in torment (Luke 16:19-31) and that Hell is a place “Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched (Mark 9:48); when you die you go to Heaven or Hell (John 3:36); there is no soul sleep for to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord (2 Corinthians 5:8)! The Bible states that there is no annihilationism, because you literally burn in Hell until the Great White Throne Judgment where unbelievers will be taken out of Hell, the book of their life will be read to them showing all their sins and their rejection of Jesus throughout their life and then they will be cast into the Lake of Fire (Revelation 20:11-15). The Bible also states that the Lake of Fire, like Hell, is also a place where humans will suffer torment forever (Revelation 14:9-11), that unbelievers will be cast into the Lake of Fire (Revelation 20:11-15) and that Satan, the Beast (the Antichrist) and the false prophet will be in the Lake of Fire for eternity (Revelation 19:20). The Bible states that Jesus is God (John 1:1-2; 1:14; 1 Timothy 3:16) and not the archangel Michael as the 7th Day Adventists claim; they have a false Jesus that cannot save them, as only the Biblical Jesus exists and the Bible says that He is God! The Bible states that Christians have a faith-based-salvation and not a works-based-salvation (Ephesians 2:8-9), which means the Seventh Day Adventists are trying to earn their way into Heaven, which they cannot work their way to Heaven: “Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity” (Matthew 7:21-23), hence they are heading to the very Hell they often lie about. The Adventists also disregard the Bible and instead use their Clear Word Bible, which was made by them to support their false doctrines. The Jehovah’s Witnesses do the same with their New World Translation. You either trust the Word of God, or the lies of the 7th Day Adventists. Yet another blunder by the 7th Day Adventists is that the Sunday service is the Mark of the Beast, while lets examine the verse that talks about the Mark of the Beast: “And he [the 2nd Beast, the False prophet] causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that has the Mark, or the name of the beast [the 1st Beast, the Antichrist], or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six (666).” Revelation 13:16-18 Nowhere in this verse does it state that Sunday service is the Mark of the Beast. Rather it states a few things about the Mark of the Beast: 1. It goes into our right hands and foreheads, like a bio-chip, microchip, electronic tattoo, etc. 2. It is connected to a cashless economy; how else can you stop everyone on earth from buying or selling? 3. and that if you do not have the Mark of the Beast you cannot buy or sell anything. So no the Mark of the Beast is not Sunday service! The 7th Day Adventists are a false religious cult whose leadership will take the Mark of the Beast to have access to their billions because they have been deceived about the Mark of the Beast. They will have their followers do the same and they will all be damned to the Lake of Fire for eternity!
Our righteousness is a gift...trying has nothing to do with righteousness. Righteousness is not of yourself! In fact it has nothing to do with your trying! Eph 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Righteousness and trying was possible once but not now! There was a Righteousness of the law and now there is not.
That the degree of suffering with each one is to endure is taken into the account as a part of his crimes is evident from Romans 2: 6 Who will render to every man according to his deeds: 7 To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life: 8 But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, 9 Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile; In Gods mercy of course. But hey, it sure beats drowning right?
Here are some things to consider that not many people think about or realize as they read scripture. Men plant churches. The word Church in the our Bible is a mistranslation from the word Ekklesia in the Original Scriptures. it has been the practice of man to plant physical churches. However this is not what Messiah did. He came to build an invisible body of believers. Ekklesia or sold out once. They were not incorporated or 501 c 3 or connected with the government in any way. In fact the government was against them and they suffered a lot of persecution because they were sold out. Today's churches have sold out to the world and have placed themselves under the governments of this world and by that they have removed Messiah as their head. there is a lot more I can tell you but I don't want to take a lot of space right here.
@@SuPerFabAline13 -(First Vision 12/1844) "It was just as impossible for them (those that gave up their faith in the 1844 movement) to get on the path again and go to the city, as all the wicked world which God had rejected. They fell all the way along the path one after another," (Foregoing now deleted) "until we heard the voice of God like many waters, WHICH GAVE US THE DAY AND HOUR OF JESUS' COMING. The living saints, 144,000 in number, knew and understood the voice, while the wicked thought it was thunder and an earthquake. When God spake the time, he poured on us the Holy Ghost, and our faces began to light up and shine with the glory of God as Moses' did when he came down from Mount Sinai."

and this comment is proof why this religion is dangerous. They pride themselves in their religious self righteousness rather then long to be with Jesus for eternity. Wow what a horrible thing to say after all that Jesus did for you on the cross.
I can't imagine how this comment could be more stupid. Firstly, "proud". You don't care that God condemns pride?? Second, "If I go to hell" - that doesn't concern you? Third, you don't know that people go to hell because they haven't trusted Christ as presented in the Bible??? John 3:18. And most moronic of all, why thank God for your stupidity and demonic foolishness. Repent and trust the Lord Jesus Christ today.
Can somebody please explain to me why the pastor said that he will not look at Ellen White's books for six months (time stamp: 9:13), instead of not looking at them at all?

White is a false prophet. Dale is author of Sabbath in Christ, The Cultic Doctrine of Seventh-day Adventists, The Truth About the Seventh-day Adventist Truth, and Adventist to Christian. Dale was an Adventist pastor for 13 years, seven of which he spent teaching Bible at Monterey Bay Academy , La Selva Beach, California. During his doctoral studies at Andrews University in the 1980’s, Dale became convinced that the 1844 investigative judgment could not be supported by Scripture. Since he could no longer teach this doctrine, he and his wife Carolyn left the Adventist denomination. The Seventh-day Adventist doctrine of the investigative judgment and cleansing of the heavenly Sanctuary based upon Daniel 8:14 is indeed the central pillar of the Adventist faith. Some Adventists may disagree; however, it is. Ellen White said, “The scripture which above all others had been both the foundation and central pillar of the Advent faith was the declaration, ‘Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed’. A recent book by Dr. Roy Adams is subtitled, Understanding the Heart of Adventist Theology, and it confirms this.The Adult Sabbath School Bible Study Guide, 2001, is entitled, Pillars of Our Faith. It includes chapters on “The Sabbath”, “The Heavenly Sanctuary”, “The Hour of God’s Judgment”, “The Remnant”, etc. The last two presidents of the General Conference have both expressed publicly that the Adventist church will not change. •Ellen G. White said that Daniel 8:14 is the foundation and central pillar of the Advent faith. •A recent book on the sanctuary by Adventist leader Dr. Roy Adams is subtitled, The heart of Adventist theology. •A recent Adult Sabbath School Bible Study Guide, entitled, The pillars of our faith includes chapters on the “The Sabbath”, “The Heavenly Sanctuary”, “The Hour of God’s Judgment”, and “The Remnant”. It includes this quotation from Early Writings, p. 263, “Jesus entered the most holy of the heavenly, at the end of the 2300 days of Daniel 8, in 1844, to make final atonement for all who could be benefitted by His mediation, and thus to cleanse the sanctuary.” •Dr. Roy Gane stated that he was excited to know that Ratzlaff understood that the sanctuary was central to Adventists. •Dr. Richard Davidson referred to the sanctuary as the heart of doctrine. •Dr. Angel Rodriguez, professor of theology at the Adventist seminary and associate director of the Adventist Biblical Research Institute, stated forthrightly, “Without 1844 and the doctrine of the Sanctuary ... there is no reason for us to exist. 1844 provided for us our identity and our mission. And if we are wrong, then we are simply wrong.” We can see that the stakes are high. There are many, perhaps the majority, of Adventist pastors and Bible teachers who want to run as far away from Daniel 8:14, 1844 and the investigative judgment, and the cleansing of the heavenly sanctuary as possible. Yet the church cannot dismiss this doctrine. This doctrine is not only the central pillar in name, it is the central pillar holding up the whole Adventist identity. That is why the last two General Conference presidents have openly endorsed Ellen White and the sanctuary doctrine. If they were to admit the errors of October 22, 1844, and the investigative judgment as the cleansing of the heavenly sanctuary as taught by Ellen White, then Ellen White would fall as “a continuing and authoritative source of truth”.
My ex girlfriend was one of these people and she was very crazy . I thought it was her Latina ways but no, it was definitely this. Her views on God/religion were absolutely hypocritical and just bizzare&ridiculous. Made no sense whatsoever. She thought just because she went to church every OTHER Saturday that she was good to do whatever sins she wanted in between time cause “Jesus died for her sins” so all she wanted to do was sin and praise Jesus for allowing her to live her lifestyle. Meanwhile she lived like the devil and completely destroyed every part of my life that she could. And her favorite thing to do was try to get me to agree to be in an open relationship, lmao. NO! Crazy woman , I tried to teach her about The True Word of God but she is lost and gone with the wind. Truly sad what these cults do to very good people just because she was born into it. Her mother and father were leaders of one of these churches &after meeting them and getting to know them I can totally see where she got it all from. Very tragic and very misguided. She lost everything she ever “prayed” for.
I hope you save yourself for marriage in your next relationship. Don't create soul ties. It only causes heartbreak, depression and so on. And do not be unequally yoked. Get to know someone spiritually before making a commitment. Be blessed ❤
I feel your pain. My ‘soon to be’ ex-wife is almost like that too. She’s lost into the SDA lies and deceptions. I pray for you that you will find the right person one day
Many falsely believe that EGW started the 7th Day Adventists. She did not, but learned of the 7th day sabbath from others, and joined. Her visions later somehow gained support by fellow members, who later began calling her a Phophetess.
You are correct, EGW didn't start the SDA Church. EGW and others were once engaged in the ministry of William Miller who predicted Jesus would return in 1840, then settled on sometime between March of 1843 and March of 1844. Of course, this didn't happen. Then a zealous Miller follower named SS Snow came up with October 22, 1844, as the sure date of the coming of Jesus. Of course, it didn't happen. The failure of Oct 1844 led to the Miller movement falling apart and splitting up. EGW fell in with one group early on as she had a vision in Dec. of 1844 affirming the rightness of the date, but that the event was wrong (something a man named Hiram Edson originated a day after the disappointment of Jesus not returning Oct. 1844). Over time more began to be convicted EGW was indeed led of God through visions. Then came the teaching of the Sabbath from Joseph Bates (in about 1846) that moved young Ellen and her recently married spouse, James, to embrace the Sabbath teaching. It is commonly accepted in Adventism that Jospeh Bates along with James and Ellen White were the three original co-founders of Adventism, and this is accurate. In the early years of Adventism, the nascent movement developed around their leadership. During the early years from 1844-1856 or so, most fundamental beliefs for that early movement were pounded out and gave them their identity. It wasn't until 1863 that the SDA Church came into being as a legal entity. They adopted their name in 1860 and formed their first conference (a group of churches in a given geographic location) in 1861. From there, as they say, "the rest is history."
Someone asked, "I looked on page 71 of "Desire of the Ages and there is no mention of Jesus having older brothers. I have been an SDA for 9 years and have never heard that before." When reading Desire of Ages, on page 62 or 87 depending which version one has, in the 10th paragraph of chapter 9 "Days of Conflict", Ellen G White states, "All this displeased His brothers. Being older than Jesus, they felt that He should be under their dictation." The Desire of Ages Bible Additions & Contradictions - 1. EGW: Jesus had older brothers “All this displeased his brothers. Being older than Jesus, they felt that He should be under their dictation. They charged Him for setting Himself above their teachers and the priests and rulers of the people. Often they threatened and tried to intimidate Him; but He passed on, making the Scriptures His guide.” DA, p. 87. Not biblical: The Bible does not tell us Jesus had "older brothers" nor any of the other statements attributed to them as claimed by Ellen G. White. Matt 12:46-47 (NIV): While Jesus was still talking to the crowd, his mother and brothers stood outside, wanting to speak to him. Someone told him, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to speak to you.” How do Protestant Christians view Jesus' brothers? "Nevertheless, some writings in the early centuries raised questions about the brothers to protect their developing doctrine of Mary’s perpetual virginity. One of them, often called the Gospel of James, tells the life story of Mary, using much fanciful material. It claims that Jesus’ brothers were the sons of Joseph by an earlier marriage. This is the view of the Greek Orthodox Church. Later a famous scholar, Jerome, argued that Jesus’ brothers were really his cousins because their mother was Mary of Cleophas and the sister of Mary the mother of Jesus (see John 19:25). This is the view of the Roman Catholic Church, but Protestant scholars prefer the traditional view of the Gospels. Jesus was born of the virgin Mary. Mary and Joseph then had four sons in the way all humans normally do." Holman Bible Dictionary, by W. J. Fallis. 2. EGW: Jesus’ brothers sided with the Rabbis "His brothers, as the sons of Joseph were called, sided with the rabbis. They insisted that the traditions must be heeded, as if they were the requirements of God. They even regarded the precepts of men more highly than the word of God, and they were greatly annoyed at the clear penetration of Jesus in distinguishing between the false and the true. His strict obedience to the law of God they condemned as stubbornness." DA, p. 86. Not biblical: There is not one word in Holy Scriptures that tells us anything about the brothers of Jesus siding with the rabbis, nor do we ever find the brothers condemning Jesus about anything as charged by Ellen G. White. 3. EGW: Jesus, an irritation to his brothers "The example of Jesus was to them a continual irritation." DA, p. 88. Not biblical: Where in the Bible do we find that Jesus was a continual irritation to his brothers? 4. EGW: Jesus charged with cowardice "Often He was accused of cowardice for refusing to unite with them (his brothers) in some forbidden act;" DA, p. 89. Not biblical: Did Jesus' brothers really try to get Jesus to commit a forbidden act? Please give the Bible text. 5. EGW: Jesus brothers were spiteful towards Jesus "Again and again He was asked, why do you submit to such despiteful usage, even from your brothers?" DA, p. 89. Not biblical: Where does the Bible tell us Jesus' brothers were ever spiteful towards Him? 6. EGW: Priests and teachers wanted Mary to control Jesus "When the priests and teachers required Mary's aid in controlling Jesus, she was greatly troubled; At times she wavered between Jesus and His brothers," DA, p. 90. "They decided that He must be persuaded or constrained to cease their manner of labor, and they induced Mary to unite with them, thinking that through His love for her they might prevail upon Him to be more prudent." DA, p. 321. Not biblical: Would someone supply the Bible text where the priests and teachers wanted Mary to control Jesus, where Mary wavered between Jesus and His brothers and uniting with the brothers? 7. EGW: Judas chose himself "While Jesus was preparing the disciples for their ordination, one who had not been summoned urged his presence among them. It was Judas Iscariot, a man who professed to be a follower of Christ. He now came forward soliciting a place in this inner circle of disciples. ... He hoped to experience this through connecting himself with Jesus" DA, pp. 293, 717. Not biblical: The Bible truth is that JESUS CHOSE JUDAS. "When morning came, he called his disciples to him and chose twelve of them ... Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor. ... Then Jesus replied, 'Have I not chosen you, the Twelve? ... You did not chose me, but I chose you" Luke 6:13-16; John 6:70; 15:16 (NIV). 8. EGW: Judas had a conviction to confess his sin "When the Saviour’s hands were bathing those soiled feet, and wiping them with the towel, the heart of Judas thrilled through and through with the impulse then and there to confess his sin." DA, p. 645. Not biblical: There is no Bible record of Judas having an impulse to confess his sin at the foot-washing. 9. EGW: Judas did not have a conviction to confess "As Christ celebrated this ordinance with His disciples, conviction came to the hearts of all save Judas." Evangelism p. 275. Note: Did Judas have a conviction to confess his sin, or did he not have this conviction? Which EGW statement came from God? Ellen's inspired writings are very difficult to keep up with as she often contradicts herself as well as God. 10. EGW: Dogs eat Judas' body His weight had broken the cord by which he had hanged himself to the tree. In falling, his body had been horribly mangled, and dogs were now devouring it. His remains were immediately buried out of sight;" DA, p. 722. Not biblical:There is no Bible record of dogs eating Judas. Acts 1:18 (NIV) With the reward he got for his wickedness, Judas bought a field; there he fell headlong, his body burst open and all his intestines spilled out. 11. EGW: Jesus' bones broken during His crucifixion "The mother of Jesus was agonized, almost beyond endurance, and as they stretched Jesus upon the cross, and were about to fasten his hands with the cruel nails to the wooden arms, the disciples bore the mother of Jesus from the scene, that she might not hear the crashing of the nails as they were driven through the bone and muscle of his tender hands and feet" Spiritual Gifts, vol. 1, p. 58. Not biblical: The Bible tells us, John 19:25, 36 (NIV) These things happened so that the scriptures would be fulfilled: 'Not one of his bones will be broken' 12. EGW: Omits broken bones mistake 40 years later "His hands stretched upon the cross; the hammer and the nails were brought, and as the spikes were driven through the tender flesh, ..." DA, p. 744. Note: EGW compiled the Desire of Ages, 40 years after she first wrote that as the nails were driven through his "bone and muscle," she changed her account to read: the nails were driven through the tender flesh. 13. EGW: Jesus could not see through the portals of the tomb "The Saviour could not see through the portals of the tomb. Hope did not present to Him His coming forth from the grave a conqueror, or tell Him of the Father’s acceptance of the sacrifice" DA, p. 753. Not biblical: Jesus told his followers what would happen after his death; He would rise up after three days. Jesus also told Caiaphas, "In the future" he would return. Who is telling the truth, Jesus or EGW? The Bible tells us that Jesus could see through the portals of the tomb from the following texts: Luke 24:7 (NIV) 7‘The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.’ John 2:19 (NIV) 19Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.” John 10:17 - 18 (NIV) 17The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life-only to take it up again. 18No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father.” Matt 26:64 (NIV) 64“Yes, it is as you say,” Jesus replied. “But I say to all of you: In the future you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven.” 14. EGW: The sister of Martha and Lazarus, was Mary Magdalen-she was led into sin by Simon The Feast At Simons’ House. "Simon had led into sin the woman he now despised. "It was Mary who poured upon His head the precious anointing oil, and bathed His feet with her tears. Mary was first at the tomb after the resurrection." DA, p. 566,568. Not biblical: The Bible never identifies Mary, LAZARUS' sister as Mary Magdalene, nor is it ever suggested from the Bible that Simon led Mary into sin and despised her. EGW in the DA does not say this Mary was Mary Magdalene, but does identify Mary as "was first at the tomb". The Bible tells us it was Mary Magdalene who was first at the tomb: Mark 16:9 (NIV) When Jesus rose early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had driven seven demons. 15. EGW: Man healed on the Sabbath, forgot it was Sabbath "In his joy the man had forgotten that it was the Sabbath; yet he felt no condemnation for obeying the command of One who had such power from God." DA, p.203. Not biblical: There is no mention in John 5 that the man forgot that it was the Sabbath or that he felt no condemnation for obeying Christ.
spritual saneness will only exist when spiritual matters become ones concern and this will come into reality if only we read and understand the bible. We should not follow people blindly especially in their beliefs about God, but rather we should first know the real truth about God. Beware of malingerers.
John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. (45) And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.
Someone contacted us saying "Please remove me from your list. I didn’t know you are teaching that the Sabbath is done away with. I am not and never have been Seventh Day Adventist for the reasons you gave but as a Bible believing Christian why is Sunday so much better than the Sabbath? Because Constantine made it so and the majority of people follow that? My husband and I have been so blessed by keeping the sabbath in our home . Many more blessings I can assure you than just worshiping on Sunday morning." Our response, "Your request will be honored. The Bible says you can worship & fellowship on any day that you wish & you are not condemned so if you like Saturdays then so be it (Romans 14:5, "One person values one day over another, another values every day the same. Each person must be fully convinced in his own mind.") while the early Christian church met for worship on the first day of the week which would be Sunday (Acts 20:7; 1 Cor. 16:2; Rev. 1:10 ) But Scripture doesn’t use the word Sunday, a name associated with sun worship (12-14). Instead, the early church spoke of Sunday as the first day of the week, or the first day from the Sabbath. I'm glad to hear you are not a Seventh-day Adventist. They make keeping the Sabbath as an essential condition of salvation but of course they completely fail in their attempts to keep the Sabbath holy & here's why : HOW TO KEEP THE SABBATH - What Is required in keeping the Sabbath according to Mosaic Law: - 1. No work done at all (Ex. 20: 10; Lev. 23: 3; Jer. 17:21-22). No watering the lawn, no working in the yard, no hobbies, no surfing, no fixing flat tires, etc. By law if a person did not stop all types of activity in honor of the Sabbath, he was breaking the law. In Numbers 15:32-36 a man was caught collecting sticks on the Sabbath, and he received a rock concert from the people he knew. 2 No kindling of a fire (Ex. 35:3). No fellowship cookouts or barbecues. You can't go into a restaurant and get a hamburger that's been flame broiled, you can't cook eggs, or pancakes in the morning because you'd be kindling a fire for cooking. To drive a car would be to "kindle a fire" In the combustion chamber of your engine. 3. No traveling (Ex. 16:29). Later the Jews added to this law, allowing only a half mile of travel on the Sabbath which we see observed in the NT. But the pure law says "stay at home." Actually, If you kept this part of the law, you could not travel to your church gathering unless it was less than one-quarter mile away from home. If you had an emergency you could not drive to the hospital. 4. No trading (Amos 8:5). If you happened to need gas to get to church service, you could not "trade" money for gasoline. You would not be allowed to buy a cassette tape of that morning's message or a book at the store. There is to be No exchanging of money for goods. If you worked with stocks and you needed to sell you couldn’t. 5. No marketing (Neh. 10:31; 13:15,19). Make sure you do no shopping whatsoever. You can't buy any ice cream for dessert after dinner or anything else. If you run out of food or drink at home you can’t go out to purchase any, you can’t even by a stick of gum. 6."... a holy assembly with double the daily offering along with the other offerings. In other words, you are to give twice as much on the Sabbath (Num. 28:9).Do we practiced this today In compliance with Old Testament law. Do Sabbatarian's really practice the law? I have yet to see people go to Shabbat and give twice as much each week. 7. New showbread In the holy place (Lev. 24:8). Of course this cannot be done today since there is no temple, so this part of the Sabbath cannot be followed by the church. The fact Is the Sabbath was not made for the gentiles, but for the Jews and their generations (Ex. 31:12-17). It's a law given between God and the Jews. 8.The last part of the requirements for keeping the Sabbath day law Is the penalty for breaking It. DEATH! (Numbers 15:32-36) Seventh-day Adventists do not keep the Sabbath the way the Old Testament says to keep the Sabbath thus they are wasting their time & are nothing more than deluded hypocrites. Titus 1:15-16, "15 Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled. 16 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate." Keeping the Sabbath if You Live in Alaska is a Big Problem -This shows that the Sabbath was a regional, temporary command for Israel and not for the world. Interesting problem in Alaska. According to the officious SDA sunset calculator, on Friday eve, May 30th, in Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, the sun set below the horizon, bringing with it the Jewish Shabbat, at 11:38 PM, almost midnight. Note: AK is so far west, it is on Hawaiian time. Here is the quote: Calculations for: Longitude: -148.34000 Latitude: 70.27000 Prudhoe Bay, Alaska Time Zone: Hawaiian Standard Time, HST Date: 5/30/03 Friday Sunrise: 0:07am HST (sunrise Friday morning) Sunset: 11:38pm HST (sunset, Friday night, becoming sabbath) Next, we find sunrise on Sabbath, May 31st, actually starts before midnight Friday night and el sol invictus stays up all day Sabbath, and into Sabbath night, and into Sunday morning, and into Sunday night, for the next two months! Date: 5/31/03 Sunrise: Sun above horizon HST Sunset: Sun above horizon HST (meaning the sun never sets). Meaning: if you live and work in Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, extracting dino remains buried and liquified by Noah's flood less than 4500 years ago, you have a problem! (no!! dummy! not the recent age of the earth!)... you have to quit working! Because on Friday night, May 30th, when the sun went down at 1l:38, bringing in the holy Lord's day, you had to stop working, thou, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and all the strangers within thy igloo. But the sun came up again on Sabbath just a few minutes later, but never went down after that!!! As I scribble this nonsense it is still Sabbath in Prudhoe Bay...cause the sun never went down....no Saturday sunset. So if you believe literally that you must keep sabbath from sunset on Friday night to Sabbath sunset.....the next day, Sabbath, did NOT have a sunset this summer! Won't be a sunset for another two months! So you are faced with keeping Sabbath for two months straight, and giving up your job with Exxon! Unless of course, you are the camp padre, trying to spread the word that black gold comes from dead dinos who missed the ark, or in the medical profession raking in piles of dough and salving your conscience by paying plenty of tithe to keep the hired-archy gainfully employed.... -sent by reader; see www.truthorfables.com/Sabbath_Not_A_Law.htm . For more see our video called "Is Sabbath Keeping Essential to Be a Real Christian? Former SDA Pastor Answers This Question" at th-cam.com/video/w0L3rSSL_H8/w-d-xo.html . Matthew 7:15, "Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves."
PS 147:19-20 ""He shewed His word unto Jacob, His statutes and His judgments unto Israel [not the Gentles] He has not dealt so with any other nation: and as for His judgments, they have not known them. Praise you the LORD." The Law was given to the Jews not the Gentles. ACTS 15:24 "Forasmuch as we [the Apostles] have heard, that certain ones which went out from us have troubled you [Gentles] with words, subverting your souls, saying, You must be circumcised, and keep the Law: to whom we gave no such commandment:" ACTS 15:28-29 For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you [Gentles] no greater burden than these necessary things; That you abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if you keep yourselves, you shall do well. Fare you well." Gentles are a law unto themselves says ROM 2:14 who have similar moral laws as says the 10 Commandments but not exactly the same [no Sabbath law] It is by this moral code written in the heart of the Gentles that the Gentles are convicted of sin and therefore their need for Christ.
It has always seemed odd to me that when a sabbath keeper tells a Sunday keeper that they rest on the seventh day according to the commandment, the Sunday keeper accuses the sabbath keeper of trying to work their way into heaven!! Working by resting! A strange idea!!
@stevefitzgerald846 - Someone on TH-cam made the following comments on one of our videos dealing with Seventh-day Adventism: "The only thing I agree with that the SDA church do is keep the Sabbath. But I disagree with that fact that they say that Jesus nailed all of the required Feast days and can celebrate the pagan holidays that the world celebrates, Christmas, New Year's day, etc. Ellen G. White's doctrine is not true." When told what the Old Testament requirements for keeping the Sabbath were this TH-cam viewer said in response, "I already do all of that. Been doing it for years." My response: So you're telling the world here in this TH-cam comments section that you have kept the Sabbath perfectly just like the Old Testament has it laid out meaning no work, no fire, no traveling, no trading, no marketing, double offerings on Sabbaths, having new show bread in the holy place, & a death penalty for breaking the Sabbath?! That's amazing! Where on this planet do you live? Do you live in Alaska for instance? How about the modern state of Israel? Do you live somewhere in the United States? South Pole? Sabbath Keeping is virtually impossible in the United States did you know that? Sabbath Keeping is genuinely impossible in an advanced industrial society, that is interdependent on various forms of labor that are necessary 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. Modern sabbatarians are hypocrites, because the fourth commandment, if followed today, would require that Christians refuse to use electricity and heating in their homes and churches on the Sabbath. We often pride ourselves on the efficiency of modern technology, forgetting that many men and women must go to work and operate the machines that provide the power the fuel for our gadgets. These workers are committing Sabbatarian capital crimes each Sabbath, and every Christian sabbatarian who uses these gadgets, apart from some legitimate emergency, sends people to hell every Sabbath, morning and evening, as he sits in the comfort of his air-conditioned church. If the sabbatarian creeds are correct, then sabbatarians are weekly condemning others to the flames of eternal torment, just so they can sit in 75-degree comfort. Sabbath Keeping, if it were placed anywhere NEAR being a national priority, would instantly lead to the complete collapse of Western Civilization. Judaism has broached this massive fatal flaw in Sabbath Keeping with aggressive measures to avoid Sabbath Breaking: Electricity on Shabbat in Jewish law - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electricity_on_Shabbat Electricity on Shabbat - Parshat Vayakhel - Mitzvahs & Traditions, www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/1159378/jewish/Electricity-on-Shabbat.htm . This still comes nowhere near to fixing the problem. Every Sabbath, tens of millions of workers all across the industrialized west obediently troop to work in vital industries that we take for granted. Millions of governmental employees, whose salaries are paid directly by Sabbath Keepers and their tax dollars, work on Saturday. If they didn't, society would come to a immediate and screeching half. The vast Federal Government alone - with the air force, navy, army and marines working 24/7, and most government employees at the least bringing some work home to do on Saturday; results in Tens of Millions of workers breaking the Sabbath, in order to directly benefit those who claim they are "Keeping the Sabbath." Not as long as you pay your taxes, your utility bills, your telephone and internet bills: All of those things mean you are paying people who "work" for you every Sabbath. These people are working for your benefit, and you have paid them. People pretend and lie to themselves that this is not happening, because everything you buy has a "buffer" that deceives you into thinking you aren't doing something when you actually are. Paying with money for your goods and services is like Pontius Pilate in a way: You get to "wash your hands" of all of the obvious Sabbath Breaking that you have paid for, and you don't need to think about the reality of what you are actually doing. When the Sabbath was in play in the ancient land of Israel, it was workable. Not now. The Israelite Society that was plainly the subject of the Mosaic Law was agrarian, primitive and homogeneous ethnically. Society could and did shut down completely on the Sabbath. No other society that has ever existed since then has had that ability. And no other society ever will again. The idea that ANYONE in an industrialized society can "keep the Sabbath" is just an elaborate fairy tale. Do you know of anyone that even TRIES? I know of NO Sabbatarian Christian that even TRIES. It would require the following: - Withholding all taxes and be willing to go to prison for tax evasion; -Foregoing ALL utilities...electricity, internet and so on...since whether you use them or not, when you pay your bill, you are directly paying for people to break the Sabbath; -Driving a car on the Sabbath is breaking the Sabbath millions of times: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Driving_on_Shabbat Basically, it would require living in some pre-modern, primitive way that was "completely off the grid." You couldn't even be attached to a municipal sewer system, since sewage treatment goes on 24/7. You couldn't even have an off-site storage unit that draws electricity. The Sabbath was no longer in effect. Jesus flaunted breaking the Sabbath, and it wasn't just "rules." He never ONCE said anything about the "rules" being the problem. The problem identified by both he and Paul was the "Law" in its entirety. NEVER did they distinguish between the "rules" and manmade "Traditions"; and the "Law": That is yet another fairy tale told by Sabbatarians. Nothing in the New Testament suggests keeping the Sabbath in a different way than it had always been kept. The 4th Commandment on its face prohibits your employees from working for you. What "man-made" rule made THAT impossible to keep? Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: 10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: 11 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. The commandment on its face explicitly forbids paying ANYONE to work for you on the Sabbath. That was easy to do in the Second Temple era. It is impossible to do now. That is no mere "man made rule" that is at issue: The Commandment is CLEAR and unambiguous on its face. You pay your taxes and you pay your utility bills, there are "manservants" and "maidservants" who are GOING to be "working: for YOU. And working for YOU on the Sabbath. That cop patrolling on Sabbath is working for YOU. That electrical lineman fixing a transformer is working for YOU. And YOU paid that cop and that lineman. This is not a mere "rule" that sets out how far you can walk on the Sabbath. It is a blunt prohibition against ANYONE "working" for YOU on the Sabbath. Jesus fulfilled the law. It pointed to him. He made it. It was OVER. See our video "The 613 Laws of Moses are Over - Faith in Christ Has Now Taken Over" at th-cam.com/video/q6QVBFBSAzA/w-d-xo.html .
Question: "How is Jesus our Sabbath Rest?" Answer: The key to understanding how Jesus is our Sabbath rest is the Hebrew word sabat, which means "to rest or stop or cease from work." The origin of the Sabbath goes back to Creation. After creating the heavens and the earth in six days, God "rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had made" (Genesis 2:2). This doesn’t mean that God was tired and needed a rest. We know that God is omnipotent, literally "all-powerful." He has all the power in the universe, He never tires, and His most arduous expenditure of energy does not diminish His power one bit. So, what does it mean that God rested on the seventh day? Simply that He stopped what He was doing. He ceased from His labors. This is important in understanding the establishment of the Sabbath day and the role of Christ as our Sabbath rest. God used the example of His resting on the seventh day of Creation to establish the principle of the Sabbath day rest for His people. In Exodus 20:8-11 and Deuteronomy 5:12-15, God gave the Israelites the fourth of His Ten Commandments. They were to "remember" the Sabbath day and "keep it holy." One day out of every seven, they were to rest from their labors and give the same day of rest to their servants and animals. This was not just a physical rest, but a cessation of laboring. Whatever work they were engaged in was to stop for a full day each week. (Please read our other articles on the Sabbath day, Saturday vs. Sunday and Sabbath keeping to explore this issue further.) The Sabbath day was established so the people would rest from their labors, only to begin again after a one-day rest. The various elements of the Sabbath symbolized the coming of the Messiah, who would provide a permanent rest for His people. Once again the example of resting from our labors comes into play. With the establishment of the Old Testament Law, the Jews were constantly "laboring" to make themselves acceptable to God. Their labors included trying to obey a myriad of do’s and don’ts of the ceremonial law, the Temple law, the civil law, etc. Of course they couldn’t possibly keep all those laws, so God provided an array of sin offerings and sacrifices so they could come to Him for forgiveness and restore fellowship with Him, but only temporarily. Just as they began their physical labors after a one-day rest, so, too, did they have to continue to offer sacrifices. Hebrews 10:1 tells us that the law "can never, by the same sacrifices repeated endlessly year after year, make perfect those who draw near to worship." But these sacrifices were offered in anticipation of the ultimate sacrifice of Christ on the cross, who "after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right of God" (Hebrews 10:12). Just as He rested after performing the ultimate sacrifice, He sat down and rested-ceased from His labor of atonement because there was nothing more to be done, ever. Because of what He did, we no longer have to "labor" in law-keeping in order to be justified in the sight of God. Jesus was sent so that we might rest in God and in what He has provided. Another element of the Sabbath day rest which God instituted as a foreshadowing of our complete rest in Christ is that He blessed it, sanctified it, and made it holy. Here again we see the symbol of Christ as our Sabbath rest-the holy, perfect Son of God who sanctifies and makes holy all who believe in Him. God sanctified Christ, just as He sanctified the Sabbath day, and sent Him into the world (John 10:36) to be our sacrifice for sin. In Him we find complete rest from the labors of our self-effort, because He alone is holy and righteous. "God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God" (2 Corinthians 5:21). We can now cease from our spiritual labors and rest in Him, not just one day a week, but always. Jesus can be our Sabbath rest in part because He is "Lord of the Sabbath" (Matthew 12:8). As God incarnate, He decides the true meaning of the Sabbath because He created it, and He is our Sabbath rest in the flesh. When the Pharisees criticized Him for healing on the Sabbath, Jesus reminded them that even they, sinful as they were, would not hesitate to pull a sheep out of a pit on the Sabbath. Because He came to seek and save His sheep who would hear His voice (John 10:3,27) and enter into the Sabbath rest He provided by paying for their sins, He could break the Sabbath rules. He told the Pharisees that people are more important than sheep and the salvation He provided was more important than rules. By saying, "The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath" (Mark 2:27), Jesus was restating the principle that the Sabbath rest was instituted to relieve man of his labors, just as He came to relieve us of our attempting to achieve salvation by our works. We no longer rest for only one day, but forever cease our laboring to attain God’s favor. Jesus is our rest from works now, just as He is the door to heaven, where we will rest in Him forever. Hebrews 4 is the definitive passage regarding Jesus as our Sabbath rest. The writer to the Hebrews exhorts his readers to "enter in" to the Sabbath rest provided by Christ. After three chapters of telling them that Jesus is superior to the angels and that He is our Apostle and High Priest, he pleads with them to not harden their hearts against Him, as their fathers hardened their hearts against Jehovah in the wilderness. Because of their unbelief, God denied that generation access to the holy land, saying, "They shall not enter into My rest" (Hebrews 3:11). In the same way, the writer to the Hebrews begs them-and us-not to make the same mistake by rejecting God’s Sabbath rest in Jesus Christ. "There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; for anyone who enters God's rest also rests from his own work, just as God did from his. Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will fall by following their example of disobedience" (Hebrews 4:9-11). There is no other Sabbath rest besides Jesus. He alone satisfies the requirements of the Law, and He alone provides the sacrifice that atones for sin. He is God’s plan for us to cease from the labor of our own works. We dare not reject this one-and-only Way of salvation (John 14:6). God’s reaction to those who choose to reject His plan is seen in Numbers 15. A man was found gathering sticks on the Sabbath day, in spite of God’s plain commandment to cease from all labor on the Sabbath. This transgression was a known and willful sin, done with unblushing boldness in broad daylight, in open defiance of the divine authority. "And Jehovah said to Moses, ‘The man shall surely be put to death’" (v. 35). So it will be to all who reject God’s provision for our Sabbath rest in Christ. "How shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation?" (Hebrews 2:3).

@ Jayson Llanda Here is solid proof right before your eyes. Please watch this series on TH-cam. The channel is called “Test The Prophet”. I pray you watch it and share it. God Be with you. Romans 8:28
Salvation is not maintained. Salvation cant be paid for. No amount of law keeping or repenting adds to you position in Christ. That Position is saved, adopted, son of God. Righteousness is a gift and remains so. Righteousness of Moses is now obsolete. Rom 10:5 For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them You are to be dead to the law. You have been delivered from the law! Rom 7:6 But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter. The law cannot judge you as you are dead to law. NOW, you are led by the spirit not laws. Gal 5:18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. Those who want the law....have the righteousness of moses, may god have mercy upon their soul!

For much documentation see "The White Lie" by Walter Rea at walterrea.com/. See "Ellen White's Plagiarism" at www.nonsda.org/egw/plagiarism.html. See also www.truthorfables.com/Desire_of_Ages_Veltman.htm. For example, Ellen White used a minimum of 23 sources of various types of literature, including fiction, in her writings on the life of Christ concerning her book "Desire of the Ages." ("The summary statement in the first article listed 28 writers and 32 sources for both the DA and pre-DA texts. I came up with the number 23 by omitting the duplications between the two textual Surveys and, in an effort to be sure that we had bona fide sources, by eliminating from the count all sources providing less than five parallels for any given chapter." quote from researcher Fred Veltman (Ministry, October 1990). Actually, we have no way of knowing how many sources are represented in Ellen White's work on the life of Christ. In addition to the remaining 72 chapters of the DA text, there are two other books to review: Thoughts From the Mount of Blessing and Christ's Object Lessons. These 23 writers are sufficient, however, to answer the questions so many have asked: From what writers did Ellen White borrow? What kinds of books were they writing? Space does not permit us to survey all 23 here. But there is no need to cover the entire lot, since many fall under the literary category of "Victorian lives of Christ." The books in this category were never intended to be biographies. Today they would probably be classified as historical fiction. One obviously fictional account is Ingraham's The Prince of the House of David, a work that Albert Schweitzer referred to as one of the "’edifying’ romances on the life of Jesus intended for family reading." 8 Ingraham cast his work as a collection of letters written by an eyewitness in Palestine to her father in Egypt. William Hanna's popular work was designed to be "practical and devotional." 9 No wonder that parallels from Hanna are to be found in 13 of the 15 DA chapters we investigated. The books in Ellen White's library at the time of her death appear to corroborate what her writings reveal. She read widely in works of differing literary type, theological perspective, and scholarly depth.

Even if God/YHWH and Christ Jesus tell directly that the SABBATH of MAN was commemorated every 1st Day of the Week (SUNDAY) practiced by the Apostles and Early 7 Churches of God in Asia Minor, including the commemoration of Sunday Resurrection, Breaking of the Bread/Wine, and the Sunday Collections of Donations and Contributions for/to/of the SAINTS/CHURCH... (ref. ACTS 2 / 1 Corin. 16), ... The 7th DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH (SDA founder and members) would still not accept the TRUTH, for it was Embedded in/from the TITLE of their Church... Otherwise, if they believe and accept, they have to change the NAME of their CHRUCH into, the "FIRST DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH (FDA)," logically speaking. Unfortunately, that will not happen, they will defend their belief till the END, no matter what... The NAME of their CHURCH was founded and built upon that LIE.
Facts and Truth of the matters, Biblically and logically speaking... Praise be to God in Christ Jesus... Amen.
I was born into it it’s definitely a cult. My mental health suffered so much because of this cult. It’s been 2 years I’m still healing. I’ve had terrible religious abuse symptoms for years. Tbh I probably need therapy. As a result of this cult has made me lose my sense of self as well as develop ocd from the stress my parents have given me from instilling constant fear of not doing enough and being sinful. Do NOT Join this church you will either deeply regret it or be stuck in it for years due to guilt tripping from members as well as pastors from the church. I DO NOT recommend!!
Not saying you have to reconsider or anything but from my experience I’ve seen both sides of it and how people try to teach it. Because churches are really chill for the most part but when you step into the Caribbean sda or African you might get that judgy vibe for sure Definitely understand tho!
I’m in the process of unraveling myself. My self esteem has been all but completely destroyed. I was never taught the gospel just fear and extreme emotional abuse. Used to get in trouble for knowing the Bible more than the sabbath school teachers. Started seeking God early on after extreme depression. I had an experience with Jesus but that’s all but frowned upon. Your soul will not be nourished. I get hardly any support. No one really cares about you. I’m lucky enough to have made non-Adventist friends and I have my fiancée. But I’m done. If you want the real Jesus who is Almighty God, then get out of this cult while you can.
Don't forget that 1844 great disappointment or they take the voices in the seven thunders and put it to there and call it the great disappointment but the voices in the seven thunders you'll never be revealed until before the second coming of only to the prophet Elijah and let's not forget a few years ago they were having meetings about who was going to be the Elijah and now they just say we believe that we have the spirit of Elijah keep switching it up
Adventism is a shoot off from the millerite movement. Just like the Amish and the existing millerites today they are all from the same movement even down to the jehovah witness
I can't help but wonder if most of us who query are plagued by fear of being lead astray from the side of Jesus by Rom'es daughter churches, so we stay in a religion that has vexed our spirits from day one. All of these religions share that in common, fear of the outside doctrines.

am not well verseled about ellen white but what i want you to tell me is which day is considered for a christian to woshp the lord and give me the scripture that go in line with your answer
Why do we worship on Sunday instead of Saturday? In the Old Testament, God stated, "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of the Lord your God; in it you shall not do any work, you or your son or your daughter, your male or your female servant or your cattle or your sojourner who stays with you." (Exodus 20:8-10, NASB). It was the custom of the Jews to come together on the Sabbath, which is Saturday, cease work, and worship God. Jesus went to the synagogue on Saturday to teach (Matt. 12:9, John 18:20) as did the apostle Paul (Acts 17:2; 18:4). So, if in the Old Testament we are commanded to keep the Sabbath and in the New Testament we see Jews, Jesus, and the apostles doing the same thing, then why do we worship on Sunday? First of all, of the 10 commandments listed in Exodus 20:1-17, only 9 of them were reinstituted in the New Testament: five in Matt. 19:18, murder, adultery, stealing, false witness, and honor parents; in Rom. 13:9, coveting; worshiping God properly covers the first three commandments. The one that was not reaffirmed was the one about the Sabbath. Instead, Jesus said that He is the Lord of the Sabbath (Matt. 12:8). Upon the completion of Creation, God rested on the seventh day. However, since God is all-powerful, He doesn’t get tired. He doesn’t need to take a break and rest. So, why did/does it say that He rested? The reason is simple: Mark 2:27 says, "The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath." In other words, God established the Sabbath as a rest for His people--not because He needed a break but because we are mortal and need a time of rest--a time to focus on God. In this, our spirits and bodies are both renewed. The Old Testament system of Law required keeping the Sabbath as part of the overall moral, legal, and sacrificial system by which the Jewish people satisfied God’s requirements for behavior, government, and forgiveness of sins. The Sabbath was part of the Law in that sense. In order to "remain" in favor with God, you had to also keep the Sabbath. If it was not kept, then the person was in sin and would often be punished (Ezekiel 18:4; Rom. 6:23; Deut. 13:1-9; Num. 35:31; Lev. 20:2, etc.). But with Jesus’ atonement, we are no longer required to keep the Law. We are not under Law but grace (Rom. 6:14-15). The Sabbath is fulfilled in Jesus. He is our rest. We are not under obligation, by Law, to keep it; and this goes for the Sabbath as well. It is not a requirement that we keep the Sabbath. If it were, then we would still be under the Law; but we are not. Evidence of the Change of Days can be Seen in the NT The New Testament has ample evidence that the seventh day Sabbath is no longer a requirement. •Rom. 14:5-6, "One man regards one day above another, another regards every day alike. Let each man be fully convinced in his own mind. 6 He who observes the day, observes it for the Lord, and he who eats, does so for the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and he who eats not, for the Lord he does not eat, and gives thanks to God." The entire section of Rom. 14:1-12 is worth careful study. Nevertheless, the instructions here are that individuals must be convinced in their own minds about which day they observe for the Lord. If the seventh day Sabbath were a requirement, then the choice would not be man's but God’s. •Col. 2:16-17, "Therefore let no one act as your judge in regard to food or drink or in respect to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day--17things which are a mere shadow of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Christ." Notice here that time sequence mentioned. A festival is yearly. A new moon is monthly. A Sabbath is weekly. No one is to judge regarding this. The Sabbath is defined as a shadow; the reality is Jesus. Jesus is our Sabbath. •Acts 20:7, "And on the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread, Paul began talking to them, intending to depart the next day, and he prolonged his message until midnight." The first day of the week is Sunday, and this is the day the people gathered. This passage can easily be seen as the church meeting on Sunday. It has two important church functions within it: breaking bread (communion) and a message (preaching). Additionally, Luke did not use the Jewish system of counting days: sundown to sundown. He used the Roman system: midnight to midnight. This is a subtle point that shows the Jewish Sabbath system was not the one utilized by Luke. •1 Cor. 16:1-2, "Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I directed the churches of Galatia, so do you also. 2 On the first day of every week let each one of you put aside and save, as he may prosper, that no collections be made when I come." Notice here that Paul is directing the churches to meet on the first day of each week and put money aside. It would seem that this is tithing. So, the instructed time for the church to meet is Sunday. Is this an official worship day set up by the church? You decide. •Rev. 1:10-11, "I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and I heard behind me a loud voice like the sound of a trumpet, 11saying, "Write in a book what you see, and send it to the seven churches: to Ephesus and to Smyrna and to Pergamum and to Thyatira and to Sardis and to Philadelphia and to Laodicea." The New Bible Dictionary says regarding the term, ‘The Lord’s Day’ in Revelation 1:10: "This is the first extant occurrence in Christian literature of τῇ κυριακῇ ἡμέρᾳ, "ta kuriaka hamera." The adjectival construction suggests that it was a formal designation of the church’s worship day. As such, it certainly appears early in the 2nd century (Ignatius, Epistle to the Magnesians, 1. 67). In many churches today, the term "The Lord’s Day" is used to designate Sunday--the same as it was in the second century. I hope this is evidence enough to show you that the Bible does not require that we worship on Saturday. If anything, we have the freedom (Rom. 14:1-12) to worship on the day that we believe we should. And, no one should judge us regarding the day we keep. We are free in Christ and not under law (Rom. 6:14). For more see our videos: "Is Sabbath Keeping Essential to Be a Real Christian?

PRISTON S MVEVO - This is for any hypocritical Seventh-day Advents that may reply to these comments here since they themselves do not keep the Sabbath the proper way that the Bible says to keep the Sabbath - Seventh-day Adventism is a damnable cult of a demon possessed woman because she claimed a person could not make it through the 1844 investigative judgment of Christ (see our video "Cult Doctrine of Seventh-day Adventism: 1844 Probation & Satan As A Final Sin Bearer for Adventists" at th-cam.com/video/J50HlZFYHtY/w-d-xo.html) without keeping the Sabbath. By making Sabbath Keeping a requirement for salvation the Seventh-day Adventists commit the same type of damnable heresy as the Judaizers did in Galatians 1:6-9 who only required circumcision. Ellen G. White required a lot more things to achieve salvation for her deluded investigative probation judgment (including the "Reform Dress" for women) & many other things than the Judaizers, who were damned by the apostle Paul, ever dreamed of. Ellen G. White makes the Judaizers look like antinomians! Of course both groups are destined for hell in the end. Besides all this Seventh-day Adventists as well as the Black Hebrew Israelites (see our video "Myths of the Black Hebrew Israelites: Theological Racism, Black King James Only, Apocrypha, Whites" at th-cam.com/video/9TiqBceXoH8/w-d-xo.html) & others do not keep the Sabbath the way the Old Testament says to keep the Sabbath thus they are self deluded hypocrites to say the least. HOW TO KEEP THE SABBATH What Is required in keeping the Sabbath according to Mosaic Law: 1. No work done at all (Ex. 20: 10; Lev. 23: 3; Jer. 17:21-22).

To drive a car would be to "kindle a fire" In the combustion chamber of your engine. 3. No traveling (Ex. 16:29). Later the Jews added to this law, allowing only a half mile of travel on the Sabbath which we see observed in the NT. But the pure law says "stay at home." Actually, If you kept this part of the law, you could not travel to your church gathering unless it was less than one-quarter mile away from home. If you had an emergency you could not drive to the hospital. 4. No trading (Amos 8:5). If you happened to need gas to get to church service, you could not "trade" money for gasoline. You would not be allowed to buy a cassette tape of that morning's message or a book at the store. There is to be No exchanging of money for goods. If you worked with stocks and you needed to sell you couldn’t. 5. No marketing (Neh. 10:31; 13:15,19). Make sure you do no shopping whatsoever. You can't buy any ice cream for dessert after dinner or anything else. If you run out of food or drink at home you can’t go out to purchase any, you can’t even by a stick of gum. 6."... a holy assembly with double the daily offering along with the other offerings.

Of course this cannot be done today since there is no temple, so this part of the Sabbath cannot be followed by the church. The fact Is the Sabbath was not made for the gentiles, but for the Jews and their generations Ex. 31:12-17).

Yes...They revere Ellen G White. The entire identity of the Adventists as "The Remnant Church" is wrapped up in her writings. Once you start to see the problem with that premise, the Adventist church is exposed as a cult.

HOW TO KEEP THE SABBATH - What Is required in keeping the Sabbath according to Mosaic Law: -1. No work done at all (Ex. 20: 10; Lev. 23: 3; Jer. 17:21-22). No watering the lawn, no working in the yard, no hobbies, no surfing, no fixing flat tires, etc. By law if a person did not stop all types of activity in honor of the Sabbath, he was breaking the law.

CAnswersTV. Wow! Thank you for that sobering modern day application of following the biblical sabbath! How impossible that would be. I am humbled and joyous that Jesus is my Sabbath....daily! God bless.
So Beit - We're saying you cannot keep the Sabbath the way the Old Testament teaches you to keep it & those that think they are keeping the Sabbath the way the OT Jews did are simply deluded hypocrites fulfilling the Biblical description of 2 Timothy 3:5, "holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these." For a true Christian Jesus is their Sabbath rest instead of trying to imperfectly keep Old Testament Sabbath rules & regulations like hypocrites do. The key to understanding how Jesus is our Sabbath rest is the Hebrew word sabat, which means "to rest or stop or cease from work." The origin of the Sabbath goes back to Creation. After creating the heavens and the earth in six days, God "rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had made" (Genesis 2:2). This doesn’t mean that God was tired and needed a rest. We know that God is omnipotent, literally "all-powerful." He has all the power in the universe, He never tires, and His most arduous expenditure of energy does not diminish His power one bit. So, what does it mean that God rested on the seventh day? Simply that He stopped what He was doing. He ceased from His labors. This is important in understanding the establishment of the Sabbath day and the role of Christ as our Sabbath rest. God used the example of His resting on the seventh day of Creation to establish the principle of the Sabbath day rest for His people. In Exodus 20:8-11 and Deuteronomy 5:12-15, God gave the Israelites the fourth of His Ten Commandments. They were to "remember" the Sabbath day and "keep it holy." One day out of every seven, they were to rest from their labors and give the same day of rest to their servants and animals. This was not just a physical rest, but a cessation of laboring. Whatever work they were engaged in was to stop for a full day each week. (Please read our other articles on the Sabbath day, Saturday vs. Sunday and Sabbath keeping to explore this issue further.) The Sabbath day was established so the people would rest from their labors, only to begin again after a one-day rest. The various elements of the Sabbath symbolized the coming of the Messiah, who would provide a permanent rest for His people. Once again the example of resting from our labors comes into play. With the establishment of the Old Testament Law, the Jews were constantly "laboring" to make themselves acceptable to God. Their labors included trying to obey a myriad of do’s and don’ts of the ceremonial law, the Temple law, the civil law, etc. Of course they couldn’t possibly keep all those laws, so God provided an array of sin offerings and sacrifices so they could come to Him for forgiveness and restore fellowship with Him, but only temporarily. Just as they began their physical labors after a one-day rest, so, too, did they have to continue to offer sacrifices. Hebrews 10:1 tells us that the law "can never, by the same sacrifices repeated endlessly year after year, make perfect those who draw near to worship." But these sacrifices were offered in anticipation of the ultimate sacrifice of Christ on the cross, who "after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right of God" (Hebrews 10:12). Just as He rested after performing the ultimate sacrifice, He sat down and rested-ceased from His labor of atonement because there was nothing more to be done, ever. Because of what He did, we no longer have to "labor" in law-keeping in order to be justified in the sight of God. Jesus was sent so that we might rest in God and in what He has provided. Another element of the Sabbath day rest which God instituted as a foreshadowing of our complete rest in Christ is that He blessed it, sanctified it, and made it holy. Here again we see the symbol of Christ as our Sabbath rest-the holy, perfect Son of God who sanctifies and makes holy all who believe in Him. God sanctified Christ, just as He sanctified the Sabbath day, and sent Him into the world (John 10:36) to be our sacrifice for sin. In Him we find complete rest from the labors of our self-effort, because He alone is holy and righteous. "God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God" (2 Corinthians 5:21). We can now cease from our spiritual labors and rest in Him, not just one day a week, but always. Jesus can be our Sabbath rest in part because He is "Lord of the Sabbath" (Matthew 12:8). As God incarnate, He decides the true meaning of the Sabbath because He created it, and He is our Sabbath rest in the flesh. When the Pharisees criticized Him for healing on the Sabbath, Jesus reminded them that even they, sinful as they were, would not hesitate to pull a sheep out of a pit on the Sabbath. Because He came to seek and save His sheep who would hear His voice (John 10:3,27) and enter into the Sabbath rest He provided by paying for their sins, He could break the Sabbath rules. He told the Pharisees that people are more important than sheep and the salvation He provided was more important than rules. By saying, "The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath" (Mark 2:27), Jesus was restating the principle that the Sabbath rest was instituted to relieve man of his labors, just as He came to relieve us of our attempting to achieve salvation by our works. We no longer rest for only one day, but forever cease our laboring to attain God’s favor. Jesus is our rest from works now, just as He is the door to heaven, where we will rest in Him forever. Hebrews 4 is the definitive passage regarding Jesus as our Sabbath rest. The writer to the Hebrews exhorts his readers to “enter in” to the Sabbath rest provided by Christ. After three chapters of telling them that Jesus is superior to the angels and that He is our Apostle and High Priest, he pleads with them to not harden their hearts against Him, as their fathers hardened their hearts against the Lord in the wilderness. Because of their unbelief, God denied that generation access to the holy land, saying, “They shall not enter into My rest” (Hebrews 3:11). In the same way, the writer to the Hebrews begs his readers not to make the same mistake by rejecting God’s Sabbath rest in Jesus Christ. “There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; for anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from his own work, just as God did from his. Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will fall by following their example of disobedience” (Hebrews 4:9-11). There is no other Sabbath rest besides Jesus. He alone satisfies the requirements of the Law, and He alone provides the sacrifice that atones for sin. He is God’s plan for us to cease from the labor of our own works. We dare not reject this one-and-only Way of salvation (John 14:6). God’s reaction to those who choose to reject His plan is seen in Numbers 15. A man was found gathering sticks on the Sabbath day, in spite of God’s plain commandment to cease from all labor on the Sabbath. This transgression was a known and willful sin, done with unblushing boldness in broad daylight, in open defiance of the divine authority. “Then the LORD said to Moses, ‘The man must die. The whole assembly must stone him outside the camp’” (verse 35). So it will be to all who reject God’s provision for our Sabbath rest in Christ. “How shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation?” (Hebrews 2:3).

my only experience with seventh day adventism and ellen gould white is reading the great controversy edition from 1858. I think its a very strong book, i read it many times by now. i never joined the church and i dont intend to, what you are saying about the church is not ruining the messages of the book. I dont care what some men tried to interpret "cleaning the sanctuary" as, the book says that prophetic time closed in 1844. "Their mistake consisted in not understanding what the Sanctuary was, and the nature of its cleansing. Jesus did enter the Most Holy place to cleanse the Sanctuary at the ending of the days". "Time was fulfilled, but where was their Saviour? They had lost him. I was then shown the disappointment of the disciples as they came to the sepulchre and found not the body of Jesus. Said Mary, They have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him. Angels told the sorrowing disciples that their Lord had risen, and would go before them into Galilee. I saw that as Jesus looked upon the disappointed ones with the deepest compassion, he sent his angels to direct their minds that they might find him, and follow him where he was; that they might understand that the earth is not the Sanctuary; that he must needs enter the Most Holy place of the heavenly Sanctuary to cleanse it; to make a special atonement for Israel, and to receive the kingdom of his Father, and then return to earth and take them to dwell with him forever". Furthermore I dont see why i should care about plagiarism. What matters is sending a message, an understanding. its a message and understanding that other people before her had and that other people after her still continue to have. intellectual property simply is irrelevant when wanting to spread an understanding regarding religion, there is no "i, me" in the matter, there is nothing to own. Its absurd to claim others wont use it again, of course they will. All things we could understand has already been understood by somebody before us and will be understood by somebody after us who will want to say the same messages again. Its literally the point that we get the same conclusions over and over again and have a desire to talk about them with people again. Lastly, but not relevant to the video i want to say that i think the 1858 edition does not confirm the trinity but instead keeps a distinct separation between the holy ghost, god and jesus. I think that separation makes sense, i reject the trinity based on it.
Our reply to the above comment from @jenzzuffer is as follows: You, having read Ellen's 1858 book many times have concluded from it: 1. that her interpretation of 1844 is correct about the Sanctuary 2. Plagiarism is not important & 3. Ellen White did not teach the Trinity in it. These seem to be the main reasons you believe her book is " a very strong book." We would argue that all three of these reasons are why Ellen White is a false prophet who is leading legions of people to eternal destruction. Ellen's investigative judgement is false - see www.truthorfables.com/investigative_judgment_made_simple.htm , 2. Plagiarism when speaking as "The Spirit of Prophecy" should not be necessary when you're claiming it is from God - see www.truthorfables.com/searchresults.html?q=plagiarism&t=1557173586196 . 3. Denying the Trinity is to deny the very God of the Bible. 1) There is one God (Deuteronomy 6:4; 1 Corinthians 8:4; Galatians 3:20; 1 Timothy 2:5). 2) The Trinity consists of three Persons (Genesis 1:1, 26; 3:22; 11:7; Isaiah 6:8, 48:16, 61:1; Matthew 3:16-17, 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14). In Genesis 1:1, the Hebrew plural noun "Elohim" is used. In Genesis 1:26, 3:22, 11:7 and Isaiah 6:8, the plural pronoun for “us” is used. The word "Elohim" and the pronoun “us” are plural forms, definitely referring in the Hebrew language to more than two. While this is not an explicit argument for the Trinity, it does denote the aspect of plurality in God. The Hebrew word for "God," "Elohim," definitely allows for the Trinity. In Isaiah 48:16 and 61:1, the Son is speaking while making reference to the Father and the Holy Spirit. Compare Isaiah 61:1 to Luke 4:14-19 to see that it is the Son speaking. Matthew 3:16-17 describes the event of Jesus’ baptism. Seen in this passage is God the Holy Spirit descending on God the Son while God the Father proclaims His pleasure in the Son. Matthew 28:19 and 2 Corinthians 13:14 are other examples of passages that present three distinct Persons in the Trinity. 3) The members of the Trinity are distinguished one from another in various passages. In the Old Testament, “LORD” is distinguished from “Lord” (Genesis 19:24; Hosea 1:4). The LORD has a Son (Psalm 2:7, 12; Proverbs 30:2-4). The Spirit is distinguished from the “LORD” (Numbers 27:18) and from “God” (Psalm 51:10-12). God the Son is distinguished from God the Father (Psalm 45:6-7; Hebrews 1:8-9). In the New Testament, Jesus speaks to the Father about sending a Helper, the Holy Spirit (John 14:16-17). This shows that Jesus did not consider Himself to be the Father or the Holy Spirit. Consider also the other instances when Jesus speaks to the Father. Was He speaking to Himself? No. He spoke to another Person in the Trinity-the Father. 4) Each member of the Trinity is God. The Father is God (John 6:27; Romans 1:7; 1 Peter 1:2). The Son is God (John 1:1, 14; Romans 9:5; Colossians 2:9; Hebrews 1:8; 1 John 5:20). The Holy Spirit is God (Acts 5:3-4; 1 Corinthians 3:16). 5) There is subordination within the Trinity. Scripture shows that the Holy Spirit is subordinate to the Father and the Son, and the Son is subordinate to the Father. This is an internal relationship and does not deny the deity of any Person of the Trinity. This is simply something our finite minds cannot understand concerning the infinite God. Concerning the Son see Luke 22:42, John 5:36, John 20:21, and 1 John 4:14. Concerning the Holy Spirit see John 14:16, 14:26, 15:26, 16:7, and especially John 16:13-14. 6) The individual members of the Trinity have different tasks. The Father is the ultimate source or cause of the universe (1 Corinthians 8:6; Revelation 4:11); divine revelation (Revelation 1:1); salvation (John 3:16-17); and Jesus’ human works (John 5:17; 14:10). The Father initiates all of these things. The Son is the agent through whom the Father does the following works: the creation and maintenance of the universe (1 Corinthians 8:6; John 1:3; Colossians 1:16-17); divine revelation (John 1:1, 16:12-15; Matthew 11:27; Revelation 1:1); and salvation (2 Corinthians 5:19; Matthew 1:21; John 4:42). The Father does all these things through the Son, who functions as His agent. The Holy Spirit is the means by whom the Father does the following works: creation and maintenance of the universe (Genesis 1:2; Job 26:13; Psalm 104:30); divine revelation (John 16:12-15; Ephesians 3:5; 2 Peter 1:21); salvation (John 3:6; Titus 3:5; 1 Peter 1:2); and Jesus’ works (Isaiah 61:1; Acts 10:38). Thus, the Father does all these things by the power of the Holy Spirit.

If you keep to the 1858 version of the Great Controversy you have only a small snippet of EGW's teaching and views of which she engendered in later revisions (1864, 1884, 1888, and 1911). You also only have a small snippet of the history of the church and its explanations of what happened in 1844. This view will leave you constricted in your grasp of Scripture.

Seventh-day Adventists do not seem to understand that true Christians do not need the teachings of their so-called "prophetess" Ellen G. White (born November 26, 1827) or her spiritual mentor William Miller (born February 15, 1782) who said, "My principles in brief, are, that Jesus Christ will come again to this earth, cleanse, purify, and take possession of the same, with all the saints, sometime between March 21, 1843, and March 21, 1844." Even though another Millerite follower named Samuel S. Snow predicted the return of Christ on October 22, 1844 which Ellen White also believed, all of these prophecies proved to be false making all of these people false prophets (Deuteronomy 18:20-22, "But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die. 21 And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the Lord hath not spoken? 22 When a prophet speaketh in the name of the Lord, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the Lord hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him."). Ellen G. White & the rest of them also violated Jesus' words in Matthew 24:36, "But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only." True Christians throughout the centuries before Ellen G. White have followed Jesus Christ faithfully through His Word (2 Timothy 3:15-17) thus invalidating the need for this woman completely. Matthew 7:15, "Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves."

“Whatever else is contrary to the sound doctrine” (1 Timothy 1:9-10). In other words, true teaching promotes righteousness; sin flourishes where “the sound doctrine” is opposed. Sound doctrine is important because we must ascertain truth in a world of falsehood. “Many false prophets have gone out into the world” (1 John 4:1). There are tares among the wheat and wolves among the flock (Matthew 13:25; Acts 20:29). The best way to distinguish truth from falsehood is to know what the truth is. Sound doctrine is important because the end of sound doctrine is life. “Watch your life and doctrine closely. Persevere in them, because if you do, you will save both yourself and your hearers” (1 Timothy 4:16). Conversely, the end of unsound doctrine is destruction. “Certain men whose condemnation was written about long ago have secretly slipped in among you. They are godless men, who change the grace of our God into a license for immorality and deny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign and Lord” (Jude 1:4). Changing God’s message of grace is a “godless” thing to do, and the condemnation for such a deed is severe. Preaching another gospel (“which is really no gospel at all”) carries an anathema: “let him be eternally condemned!” (see Galatians 1:6-9). Many oppose the "sound doctrine" of the Bible because they just don't like what God has to say & that really is the bottom line. See our videos on this at "Unpopular Bible Doctrines #1: The Biblical God No One Wants To Know" at th-cam.com/video/B8SzMIBlVdw/w-d-xo.html (in fact this only part 1 of a 16 hour series of "Unpopular Bible Doctrines" videos we have produced) & our video "Essential Bible Doctrines That Must Be Believed To Be A True Christian But Also Prove Who is False" at th-cam.com/video/RcziamJtSTg/w-d-xo.html . Titus 1:9, "holding fast the faithful word which is in accordance with the teaching, so that he will be able both to exhort in sound doctrine and to reprove those who contradict."
Deborah Szafraniec - This video was just a short 10 minute clip from a much longer video called "Former Seventh-day Adventist Pastor for 13 Years Gives His Testimony Why Adventism is Wrong" at th-cam.com/video/c37bNhYzdbE/w-d-xo.html which even comes with a free written transcript at media-cloud.sermonaudio.com/text/79161824122.pdf. This 10 minute clip video is from a series of forty 10 minute clip videos we call "Quick Look Videos" we produced because we discovered that most people only have a 10 minute attention span or less. Thus this video cut off automatically around 10 minutes so nothing special was intended. This video clip is coming from our lead video on our playlist called "Dealing with Seventh-day Adventism & Their "Prophetess" with 49 videos at th-cam.com/play/PL5316CC6F66F24283.html.
Well my surprise is that of people believing in Ellen as though she was God. I could hold on to faith but without the Bible leading, none of your church leaders prophets, prophetess or founders could shake me. This truth thing, the remnant, sabbath thing can be overwhelming sometimes. You can only pray because it is the very same word (bible) that creates all this mess we’re in. For the record, it is not the SDA, Islam or Catholic that is going to save us but through the blood and grace of God and abiding by his word. Pray that God saves your soul not the CHURCH!!!
Regarding tithe, Ancient Israel was an agricultural nation and here is what GOD Told Israel tithe (a 10th) was and what to do with it - Deuteronomy 14:22, "You must be sure to set aside a tenth of all the - produce - brought forth each year from your fields. 23And you are to eat a tenth of your grain, new wine, and oil, and the firstborn of your herds and flocks, in The Presence Of THE LORD your GOD at the place where He Will Choose As A Dwelling For His Name, so that you may learn to fear THE LORD your GOD Always. 24But if the distance is too great for you to carry that with which the LORD your God has Blessed you, because the place where THE LORD your GOD Will Choose to put His Name is too far away, 25then exchange it for money, take the money in your hand, and go to the place where THE LORD your GOD Will Choose. 26Then you may spend the money on anything you desire: cattle, sheep, wine, strong drink, or anything you wish. You are to feast there in The Presence Of THE LORD your GOD And Rejoice with your household. 27And do not neglect the Levite within your gates, since he has no portion or inheritance among you. 28At the end of every three years, bring a tenth of all your - produce - for that year and lay it up within your gates. 29Then the Levite (because he has no portion or inheritance among you), the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widow within your gates may come and eat and be satisfied. And THE LORD your GOD Will Bless you in all the work of your hands." At the cross of Christ the Levitical Priesthood came to an end along with it's support system, the tithe. Under The New Covenant The Bible States what we are to do in regards to giving - 2 Corinthians 9:7 biblehub.com/text/2_corinthians/9-7.htm "not out of necessity (Law) but what we purpose in our hearts to give." In 1 Corinthians 3:16 we are Shown - "Do you not know that you yourselves Are GOD'S Temple, And that GOD'S SPIRIT (see John 4:24) Dwells in you?" And in 1 Peter 2:5, "...you also, like living stones, Are Being Built Into A Spiritual House (Temple) To Be A Holy Priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices Acceptable To GOD Through Christ." - biblehub.com/1_peter/2-5.htm And this for further "Study..." on the subject of tithe: lighthouseprophecy.com/exposing-the-tithe-lie/ - www.prophetic.net/tithe.htm Regarding Melchizedek - www.wake-up.org/bible-characters/mystery-of-melchizedek.html? Information Also To Be Aware Of: The Encyclopedia American, 1964 edition, explains how the obelisk was related to sun worship like this - "a monument representing the sun in ancient Egyptian religion. The Egyptians were sun worshipers... The two most striking characteristic monuments which represented him on Earth were the obelisk and the pyramid... The word o-'bel'-isk actually means the 'shaft of Bel'; Bel being another way of writing Baal, the Babylonian and Egyptian sun god.... www.granddesignexposed.com/obelisk/meaning.html Ellen G.

A SDA member said in reference to this 10 minute video the following, "I don't see scriptural evidence for just 'running down the pagans' without presenting Truth. Show me Truth with regards to this topic, from the Bible." Our response is as follows - "Are you making this declaration about "truth" based on this short 10 minute video? Is all "truth" to be learned in 10 minutes or less? You must have a very short attention span. Did you graduate elementary school? Rather why don't you watch our entire playlist on Seventh-day Adventism with 53 videos & almost 53 hours of documentation from history & the Bible at th-cam.com/play/PL5316CC6F66F24283.html ? Investigate whether Seventh-day Adventism is real Christianity or a counterfeit cult. Please check the following: "Does Seventh-day Adventism have a damnable gospel, what do they really believe?" - www.sermonaudio.com/sermoninfo.asp?SID=813141143413, "Is Seventh-day Adventism a Cult?" - www.sermonaudio.com/sermoninfo.asp?SID=429152354502; the contrast between a biblical worldview and an Adventist, great controversy worldview - www.lifeassuranceministries.org/proclamation/2011/2/greatcontroversy.html; discusses the somewhat hidden but horrific fact of Adventists widespread practice of abortion and the organization's two sets of guidelines, one of which is known by the members, and one of which is “secret”, available to doctors and Adventist hospitals -www.lifeassuranceministries.org/proclamation/2014/2/abortioninadvent.html; examines the roots of Ellen White’s and the SDA’s “health message”, the Adventists’ “right arm of the gospel”. It begins on page 14 of the PDF: lifeassuranceministries.org/Proclamation2015_1web.pdf; see the playlists which includes videos from the annual Former Adventist Conferences with multiple testimonies of Former Adventists as well as the weekly inductive studies through books of the Bible taught at their Word Search studies th-cam.com/users/FormerAdventistplaylists, see the following websites: www.TruthorFables.com, www.LifeAssuranceMinistries.org, www.ExAdventist.com, & www.GreatControversyExposed.com. 2 Timothy 2:15, "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." The previous resources will be very valuable in an investigative study of whether Seventh-day Adventism is a Biblically true Gospel believing organization or if it is a false cultic religion peddling a false gospel invented by Ellen G. White & her associates thus violating Galatians 1:6-9, " I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed." The original Greek word for "accursed" is "anathema" which means "condemnation to Hell by the decree of God" & is consistent with other scriptural passages containing it: Acts 23:14 cf. David's oath in 2 Samuel 3:35, Romans 9:3, 1 Corinthians 12:3, 1 Corinthians 16:22). Ellen G. White is a false prophet due to her false & failed prophecies (Deuteronomy 18:19-22); see www.mmoutreachinc.com/seventh_day_adventists/egw_false_prophet.html, 1timothy4-13.com/files/bible/sda_morefailed.html & www.bible.ca/7-prophecy-blunders.htm. Ellen G. White had delusional dreams & visions much like phony Charismatic & Pentecostal TV preachers do today; see www.truthorfables.com/Visons_of_%20EGW_by_Snook_&_Brinkerhoff.htm & th-cam.com/video/Kbv7YsyMf0I/w-d-xo.html. Seventh-day Adventism has a damnable false gospel (Galatians 1:6-10) for several reasons: a) Satan is the final sin bearer for Seventh Day Adventists; see www.truthorfables.com/Scapegoat.htm & www.truthorfables.net/50-contradictions-satan-bears-sins.htm, b) They say Jesus had a sinful nature just like fallen man otherwise He can't be a Savior; see kentbrandenburg.blogspot.com/2011/09/seventh-day-adventisms-anti.html & jesus-is-savior.com/False%20Religions/Seventh-Day%20Adventist/sda_exposed.htm, c) Ellen G. White taught the cult doctrine of the 1844 investigative judgment of Jesus in the heavenly sanctuary for the purpose of allowing Seventh Day Adventists final access to heaven while all others would be destroyed; see www.truthorfables.com/investigative_judgment_made_simple.htm, www.truthorfables.com/white_elephant.htm, www.truthorfables.com/My_Testimony.htm, www.truthorfables.com/SDA_Cult.htm & th-cam.com/video/J50HlZFYHtY/w-d-xo.html, d) Seventh-day Adventism denies the New Testament Christian gospel by saying Old Testament "Saturday" Sabbath keeping is essential for salvation; see www.truthorfables.com/Sabbath_Not_A_Law.htm, www.truthorfables.net/who-changed-the-sabbath-a.htm, www.truthorfables.com/Sabbath_is_Friday.htm & th-cam.com/video/w0L3rSSL_H8/w-d-xo.html, e) Although SDAs say they believe in salvation by grace they redefine the meaning of grace in order to incorporate into their religious system a salvation by law keeping to achieve final works righteousness; mmoutreachinc.com/seventh_day_adventists/sda_law.html, searchingthescriptures.net/main_pages/answering_cults/seventh_day_adventism/sda_a_cult.htm & th-cam.com/video/aIh3T31ujuU/w-d-xo.html. If the apostle Paul cursed the Galatian Judaizers to hell for adding only one stipulation to the gospel which was circumcision then how much more would he curse the SDAs for all their added terms & conditions to the simple gospel of grace (Ephesians 2:8-9, "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast." Cross reference this to Galatians 2:16, "Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified."). See also www.RethinkingAdventism.com, www.Sabbatismos.com . Of course all this study will take you longer than 10 minutes so you must think it can't be "true" in that case.

Joella Koslowski - Ellen Gould Harmon was born on a small farm near the village of Gorham, Maine, on November 26, 1827. Only a few years after her birth, her parents Robert and Eunice Harmon gave up farming to move to the nearby town of Portland where her father became a hat maker. When Ellen was nine she was permanently disfigured when a fellow student maliciously hit her in the head with a rock. The rock put her into a coma that lasted several weeks and forced her to miss a long period of schooling. She did recover but many have argued that this head injury gave her delusions for her future life since it affected her brain. Regardless she was still able to function fairly normally into her old age while making a lot of money off of her religion business while owning three nice houses. Several of White's homes are historic sites. The first home that she and her husband owned is now part of the Historic Adventist Village in Battle Creek, Michigan. Her other homes are privately owned with the exception of her home in Cooranbong, Australia, which she named "Sunnyside," and her last home in Saint Helena, California, which she named "Elmshaven". These latter two homes are owned by the Seventh-day Adventist Church and the "Elmshaven" home is also a National Historic Landmark (source: Wikipedia). For information about Ellen G. White's plagiarism - Ellen White's books/testimonies contain a large amount of material Mrs. White and her group of college educated secretaries plagiarized from non-inspired authors. She had a library of 1200 books to copy from. Ellen White did not give credit for her sources, while she led her followers to believe the material she wrote came from the throne of God. "In these letters which I write, in the testimonies I bear, I am presenting to you that which the Lord has presented to me. I do not write one article in the paper expressing merely my own ideas. They are what God has opened before me in vision--the precious rays of light shining from the throne." Testimonies for the Church Vol. 5 (1882-1889), page 67. See "The White Lie" by Walter Rea under Books. Some of the major sources of Ellen White's writings: John Harris, The Great Teacher; Frederic Farrar, The Life of Christ; George Jones, Life-Scenes From the Four Gospels; Alfred Edersheim, The Life and Times of Jesus the Messiah; J. H. Ingraham, The Prince of the House of David; Francis Wayland, Salvation by Christ; and John Cumming, Sabbath Evening Readings on the New Testament: St. John.

athalea Bandiola - Mrs. White says "I am just as dependent upon the spirit of the Lord in relating or writing a vision, as in having the vision."-Spiritual Gifts, Vol. 2, Page 293. This claim, if true, entitles her to equal authority with Isaiah, Jeremiah, John and Jesus Christ, and exalts her books to equality with the Bible. Is this a true claim? Are these visions given by inspiration of God? This is a very important question and deserves a serious and candid investigation. That they are believed by many, is no proof of their divinity. Mormonism and Spiritualism have many sincere believers. That there are some good things in them is not proof that they are of God. The visions of Sweedenborg contain many good things-so does the Koran-but nevertheless they are not of God. Besides all the good that is in any of the above revelations is borrowed from the Bible, the great foundation of good.

Someone quoted John 14:6, "Jesus saith unto him, I am the away, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.." & then said, "LIFT UP JESUS". Our response - Excellent advice. The problem you have here is 2 Corinthians 11:4, "For if someone comes and proclaims another Jesus than the one we proclaimed, or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received, or if you accept a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it readily enough." Satan promotes fake versions of Jesus & fake gospels so people will be deceived & end up in hell (see our playlist "Hell, Unpopular Bible Doctrines" with 61 videos at th-cam.com/play/PLE04A1D0DFE95B95E.html ) so you have to make sure it's the true Bible version of Jesus & the gospel that is being promoted (for more on that see our video called "IS JESUS GOD ALMIGHTY IN THE FLESH MEANING THE SECOND PERSON OF THE TRINITY OR IS HE SOMETHING ELSE?" at th-cam.com/video/_BlPm7M7uv8/w-d-xo.html ). See also our playlist "Dealing with Anti Trinitarians (UPC) & Early Church History" with 83 videos at th-cam.com/play/PL9931642C7C8FFEAB.html . Here's a few examples of the Devil's fake versions of Jesus: *Seventh-day Adventists say Jesus is not the final sin bearer for sinners but Satan is, see www.truthorfables.com/Scapegoat.htm & our video "Cult Doctrine of Seventh-day Adventism: 1844 Probation & Satan As A Final Sin Bearer for Adventists" at th-cam.com/video/J50HlZFYHtY/w-d-xo.html . Many SDA confuse Jesus with the Archangel Michael - see www.truthorfables.com/Is_Michael_Christ.htm . See also our playlist "Dealing with Seventh-day Adventism & Their "Prophetess" with 55 videos at th-cam.com/play/PL5316CC6F66F24283.html ). *Roman Catholics say Jesus becomes a piece of bread during the Roman mass & thus should be worshiped in the form of bread as Jesus; that Jesus is stern & austere thus it is better to pray to Mary & other saints to get better results (see our playlist "Dealing with Roman Catholicism, Idolatry & the Virgin Mary" with 219 videos at th-cam.com/play/PLFFA8D69D1B914715.html ). *Jehovah's Witnesses say Jesus is not God in the flesh but was created as the Archangel Michael (see our playlist "Dealing with Jehovah's Witnesses, Watchtower Society" with 56 videos at th-cam.com/play/PLCF0ADB29C0EB8C40.html ). *Mormons say Jesus is one of millions of gods & was created by sex between the god Elohim & Mary (see our playlist "Dealing with Mormonism, The Con Man Religion of Joseph Smith, Jr. with 51 videos at th-cam.com/play/PL11CD0EE613306BB5.html ). *Muslims say Jesus is a prophet but certainly not God in the flesh or the Son of God & that Jesus was never crucified (see our playlist "Dealing with Islam, Muslims: Sunni, Shi'ite, Alawites, Sufis" with 98 videos at th-cam.com/play/PL1C7F68B548009FDD.html ). *Jews say Jesus is not the Messiah, was a false prophet & blasphemer, is now in hell & was the bastard son of Mary & a Roman soldier (see our video "Babylonian Talmud is a Jewish Law & Oral Tradition Book of over 10 million Words Across 38 Volumes" at th-cam.com/video/ZtvgDGUwmYs/w-d-xo.html ). *Christian Scientists say Jesus was not the Christ or God but just a man (an idea that Mary had) who displayed the Christ idea or principle of living (see our video "NEW AGE HEALING CULT OF MARY BAKER EDDY: "CHRISTIAN SCIENCE" - NEITHER CHRISTIAN NOR SCIENTIFIC" at th-cam.com/video/H7bsJy649L8/w-d-xo.html ). *Moonies say Jesus was a failure & got crucified before he could complete his mission of getting married to a woman therefore Rev. Sun Myung Moon had to come out of Korea & complete Jesus' mission on earth (see our various videos on Moon's religion beginning with our video "Moonstruck: Rev. Moon's "Church" #1: History & Teachings of Moon's Cult" at th-cam.com/video/mr73BZJd0Hg/w-d-xo.html ). *Hindus say Jesus was a guru & an incarnation of a Hindu god Vishnu & Jesus does not atone for sins among the 300 million other gods (see our videos on Hinduism on our playlist "Dealing with AntiChrist Cults, "New Age" & World Religions with 84 videos at th-cam.com/play/PL69A3047B3497590A.html ). See also our website on Hinduism at www.biblequery.org/OtherBeliefs/Hinduism/Hinduism.html . *Atheists say Jesus never existed and is simply a fairy tale for the gullible (see our playlist "Dealing with "God Hating" Atheists, Agnostics, Know-It-Alls" with 44 videos at th-cam.com/play/PL640E505B96CD6B39.html ). *Liberal Theologians say the Bible can't be trusted & is full of myths & fables thus the Jesus presented in it can't be trusted as true (see our videos "WOLVES IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING - LIBERAL CHRISTIANITY #1: DENOMINATIONAL FALSE PROPHETS - ACTS 20:28-31" at th-cam.com/video/iNSCQF65aeA/w-d-xo.html & "WOLVES IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING - LIBERAL CHRISTIANITY #2: NEO-ORTHODOXY - GOSPEL REDEFINITION" at th-cam.com/video/qdg8EJrqUuc/w-d-xo.html . *People who believe in Darwin's Theory of Evolution say the earth is billions of years old , the universe resulted from a "Big Bang" based on random chance & thus no god or Jesus is necessarily needed. These people assume scientism is true rather than the Bible without answering basic questions like: 1. Where did the basic matter of the universe originate? 2. How did life begin? 3. Where are all the supposed transitional fossils between Preambrian & Cambrian Periods? 4. From where did the dinosaur come?

One video from this playlist is called "Blasphemous Charismatic & Pentecostal Mayhem #3: They All Get Sick & Die, Scripture Twisting Liars" at th-cam.com/video/H5OkOofKNOo/w-d-xo.html . Naturally, if you have the wrong Jesus this will result in damning your soul to hell while at the same time the false Jesus will also feed you a false gospel. Galatians 1:6-9, "6 I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel- 7 not that there is another one, but there are some who trouble you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed. 9 As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed." There is a cosmic war currently going on between the God of the Bible & Satan so always remember the following, 2 Corinthians 11:13-15, " 13 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. 14 No wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. 15 Therefore it is not surprising if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their deeds." & 1 Peter 5:8, "Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour." Hopefully now, John 14:6. "6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the away, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." has much greater significance to you. The Bible tells us a great deal about Jesus. Following is a list of some of what Scripture teaches about Him. He is prayed to, Acts 7:55-60; 1 Cor. 1:2 with Psalm 116:4; John 14:14 He is worshiped, Matt. 2:2,11; 14:33; John 9:35-38; Heb. 1:6 He cleanses from sin, 1 John 1:9 He forgives sins, Matt. 9:1-7; Luke 5:20; 7:48 He is the image of the invisible God, Heb. 1:3 He gives eternal life, John 10:28 He has all authority, Matthew 28:18 He is the light of the world, John 8:12 He came to save, John 3:17 He came to die and destroy Satan’s power, Heb. 2:14 John 20:28, “Thomas answered and said to Him, ‘My Lord and my God!'” Col. 2:9, “For in Him all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form.” Heb. 1:8, “But of the Son He says, “Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever…” 1 Peter 3:15, "15 but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect, ..."

@Sami Jo - Because the Seventh-day Adventist religious sect is not a Christian church but rather is a false Ellen G. White cult (see our playlist at th-cam.com/play/PL5316CC6F66F24283.html) they have treated you shamefully in refusing to baptize you. You need to find a true Bible believing church where you can get baptized. Remember Christ came into the world to save man from his sinfulness. The Holy Spirit is well able to deliver us from the works of the flesh. Notice Ephesians1: 12-13 the reason why this word is important is so you have God’s word and you stand there on it. We are sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, and the very moment you believe, summons the very birth the new birth, and your body then becomes that moment a temple of the Holy Spirit, because he then that moment brings the new birth and indwells the believer. So stand upon this rock this Word of truth, and cause your mind to be renewed by it, say I am sealed with the Holy Spirit of promised because I heard the word of truth the gospel of my salvation and I have the word of God on it, in Jesus name. Notice John 3: 8 ”The wind blows where it pleases and you hear the sound thereof, but you cannot tell from where it comes or where it goes, So is everyone who is born of the Spirit." Now lets bring our minds to 1 Corinthians 12: 13 and again stand here, God has subjected us to the justification that is through faith, Each one of these verses are filled with faith. There is no word that is void of power and faith. So glean the faith through believing, you have a God given right because you believed unto justification of life when you believed that God raised Jesus from the dead, therefore being just in God sight you get to have the mighty Holy Spirit strengthening you in the inner man so Christ can dwell in your hearts by faith. Now the faith of this word should have you strong because of it and you should be thanking God and praising His Holy name. By one Spirit are we all baptized into one body (the LORD’s Body) whether Jews or Gentiles, bond or free, (anyone who will believe) ad have all been made to drink into “One Spirit” This didn’t happen right now when you read it, it happened when you first heard and believed, Ephesians 1: 12-13, What you are able to do right now is renew your mind with it. Get your mind to rest here, and go on to the next place of faith. Let it be settled as freely as God so gave it to you and know that God loves you and loves you and some more love and more and them more every morning His steadfast love is new (if you have been indeed been supernaturally "born again" by God as Jesus must happen first - John 3:3-8, Romans 8:1-17, etc.). Now if God did not spare His Only Son but offered Him up for us, will he not also with Him give us freely all things, Romans 8: 32 and Ephesians 1: 3 and 1: 17-19. Notice what we are to do when we believe 2 Corinthians 4: 13 and do it all the time when you find a promise in His Word, Hebrews 9: 16-17 and 1 Corinthians 11: 26. The Bible never directly mentions smoking. There are principles, however, that definitely apply to smoking. First, the Bible commands us not to allow our bodies to become "mastered" by anything. "Everything is permissible for me-but not everything is beneficial. Everything is permissible for me-but I will not be mastered by anything" (1 Corinthians 6:12). Smoking is undeniably strongly addictive. Later in the same passage we are told, "Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body" (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). Smoking is undoubtedly very bad for your health. Smoking has been proven to damage the lungs and the heart. Can smoking be considered "beneficial" (1 Corinthians 6:12)? Can it be said that smoking is truly honoring God with your body (1 Corinthians 6:20)? Can a person honestly smoke "for the glory of God" (1 Corinthians 10:31)? We believe that the answer to these three questions is a resounding "no." As a result, we believe that smoking is a sin and therefore should not be practiced by followers of Jesus Christ. Some argue against this view by pointing to the fact that many people eat unhealthy foods, which can be just as addicting and just as bad for the body. As an example, many people are so helplessly addicted to caffeine that they cannot function without their first cup of coffee in the morning. While this is true, how does that make smoking right? It is our contention that Christians should avoid gluttony and excessively unhealthy eating. Yes, Christians are often hypocritical by condemning one sin and condoning another, but, again, this does not make smoking honoring to God. Another argument against this view of smoking is that many godly men have been smokers, such as the famous British preacher C.H. Spurgeon, who was known to smoke cigars. Again, we do not believe this argument holds any weight. We believe Spurgeon was wrong for smoking. Was he otherwise a godly man and fantastic teacher of God's Word? Absolutely! Does that make all of his actions and habits honoring to God? No. In stating that smoking is a sin, we are not stating that all smokers are unsaved. There are many true believers in Jesus Christ who smoke. Smoking does not prevent a person from being saved. Nor does it cause a person to lose salvation. Smoking is no less forgivable than any other sin, whether for a person becoming a Christian or a Christian confessing his/her sin to God (1 John 1:9). At the same time, we firmly believe that smoking is a sin that should be forsaken and, with God’s help, overcome.

What was the 1st religion? I affiliate w/ none as to not he falsely undoctrinated. I was born into a cult & said never again; I only got out due to my open mind & my brother telling me to do my research (which that church condemns). Now I believe in a personal relationship w/ God through his word. However the Bible says do not forsake the gathering. So I am not sure what is best.
A.Pal - Going by the Bible as the standard for truth we see in the early chapters of Genesis that Adam & Eve had the very first religious experience of seeing that God the Creator was there among them. The Bible goes on to tell the rest of the story all the way through the book of Revelation. I think your brother was on the right track when he said "do your research" which is not condemned by anyone who has a truly Biblical worldview despite what various "churches" might tell you. After all the Bible says, "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." (2 Timothy 2:15). Our ministry has spent the last 40 years researching what various religions teach in contrast to what the Bible teaches so we can help people not get duped by false prophets (see our main TH-cam channel with it's 19 playlists on numerous topics at www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=canswerstv & our video called "CAnswersTV is Christian Answers Television, 19 Playlists, 800 Videos: The Bible vs. False Prophets" at th-cam.com/video/8Rc-k8HcfiE/w-d-xo.html . You are right about Hebrews 10:25, "not abandoning our own meeting together, as is the habit of some people, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near." but how can you do that if you don't know who is true & who is false? You have to study, research & know what the Bible teaches before you join just any group or church. Our ministry doesn't try to get anyone to join a particular church but rather we preach that people should know their Bibles (which is a shield against false prophets). Besides that our ministry doesn't beg people for money either. Thus get a good understanding of what the Bible teaches then find a good Bible church to associate with (that's what I did when I was supernaturally "born again" (John 3:3-8) back on May 16, 1981). May the Lord bless your studies. 2 Timothy 3:16-17, "All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work."
@@CAnswersTV Thank you very much for your reply & thoughtful scriptures. These things are in my prayers😊 I agree about a Bible based church. I recently heard about the Jews who do believe in Jesus. I hadn't heard of them before. They formed a group in Israel incorporating the old/original teachings from the scrolls.
@@TheSleuthFairy - What you are talking about is sometimes called Messianic Judaism, also known as Hebrew Christianity. It is a movement within Judaism where Jews believe in Jesus of the New Testament and consider Him the Messiah who was prophesied in the Old Testament such as : The Messiah would be born in Bethlehem (Micah 5:1-2). The Messiah would be born of a virgin (Isaiah 7:14). The Messiah would be God in flesh (Isaiah 9:6; Zech. 12:10). The Messiah will be borne to the house of David (Jeremiah 23: 5-6). The Messiah would be killed for the sins of Israel ( Isaiah 53:1-10). The Messiah would rise from the dead (Psalm 16:10). Messianic Jews believe that Jesus is the Son of God, the second person of the Trinity. However, some who claim to be Messianics deny that Jesus is God in the flesh. These are not true Messianics in the biblical sense, since they are denying who Jesus really is (John 1:1,14; Colossians 2:9; Hebrews 1:8). Messianic Jews also retain most of the Old Testament Jewish practices as described in the Old Testament (i.e. Saturday Sabbath, circumcision, kosher laws, holy days, rabbis, etc.) because they desire to hold onto their Jewish roots and honor God according to what is revealed in the Old Testament. Where Jesus practiced the Old Testament Law (Matt. 5:17; Gal. 4:4), Messianic Jews do too. This is fine, as long as their keeping of the Old Testament laws are not a means by which salvation is attained or maintained. Messianics usually refer to Jesus by the Jewish name of “Yeshua,” which means “salvation.” But, generally, Messianic Jews do not believe in abandoning their Jewish heritage and joining Christian churches and worshipping on Sunday - though some do. They believe it is the most Jewish thing to follow Yeshua in a manner consistent with their heritage and attend synagogues on Saturday. There are many variations within the movement of Messianic Judaism. Some are within Christian orthodoxy, and some are not. There are approximately 100,000 Messianic Jews in America alone, with more and more coming to believe in Yeshua the Messiah in other nations. Something to watch out for are a couple of cultic movements that have attached themselves with the Jews in a bogus way: the Hebrew Roots Movement (HRM) - see our videos: "Divine Curse of the Hebrew Roots Movement - Replacing Jesus with the Old Testament Jewish Torah" at th-cam.com/video/wdTxde_shDQ/w-d-xo.html & "Torah Cult of the Hebrew Roots Movement: Responding to Wolves in Old Testament Mosaic Law Clothing" at th-cam.com/video/VnQFmSlgKpM/w-d-xo.html ; & the other cultic movement is the Black Hebrew Israelites, see our video "Myths of the Black Hebrew Israelites: Theological Racism, Black King James Only, Apocrypha, Whites" at th-cam.com/video/9TiqBceXoH8/w-d-xo.html . To see what modern day Judaism teaches see our video called "Babylonian Talmud is a Jewish Law & Oral Tradition Book of over 10 million Words Across 38 Volumes" at th-cam.com/video/ZtvgDGUwmYs/w-d-xo.html .

As a former SDA I will say this...The truth or falseness of Ellen G Whites writings is irrelevant. Most Adventists span the spectrum of being ignorant of her writings to downright dismissive of them. I just interacted with a Minister of a church I once attended (which my parents still attend) who does not know a single piece of writing from her. Adventists will retreat to the vague interpretations of the Bible which the other 2000 + denominations of Christianity hide behind. What is the point of a belief which specifically states that Ellen G White provides Guidance and Correction on those interpretations, when Adventists ignore them?
PS 147:19-20 ""He shewed His word unto Jacob, His statutes and His judgments unto Israel [not the Gentles] He has not dealt so with any other nation: and as for His judgments, they have not known them. Praise you the LORD." The Law was given to the Jews not the Gentles. ACTS 15:24 "Forasmuch as we [the Apostles] have heard, that certain ones which went out from us have troubled you [Gentles] with words, subverting your souls, saying, You must be circumcised, and keep the Law: to whom we gave no such commandment:" ACTS 15:28-29 For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you [Gentles] no greater burden than these necessary things; That you abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if you keep yourselves, you shall do well. Fare you well." Gentles are a law unto themselves says ROM 2:14 who have similar moral laws as says the 10 Commandments but not exactly the same [no Sabbath law] It is by this moral code written in the heart of the Gentles that the Gentles are convicted of sin and therefore their need for Christ.
Hey CAnswersTV could I interview you on my program. Dale as you know, has just passed away and I’d love to chat about your memories of him and also your thoughts! Your honest thoughts! On adventism :)
Thanks for the offer but I'll have to pass due to a tight schedule however if you want to know my thoughts regarding Dale's passing I did send an email to his ministry at lifeassuranceministries@gmail.com saying the following - "Hello Colleen & Life Assurance Ministries, I'm always saddened when the Lord takes home one of his great warriors for his Gospel but at the same time I am happy that they are now at rest with their beloved Lord & Savior & that we will see them later in Glory so the separation is only temporary. In the meantime those of us who remain on this planet carry on the battle for the truth of the Gospel. The exciting thing is through Dale's books, ministry publications, websites & internet videos he still carries on the fight for truth as if he were still alive among us! Not counting Life Assurance Ministries resources & videos our ministry Christian Answers of Austin, Texas/ Christian Debater produced five videos with Dale when he came here to Austin in 2014 to visit us.

For much more on this see our video "Is Sabbath Keeping Essential to Be a Real Christian? Former SDA Pastor Answers This Question" at th-cam.com/video/w0L3rSSL_H8/w-d-xo.html. I’ve always thought this was a very interesting verse: “he not only had broken the sabbath….” John 5:18. Here we are told by the Apostle John that Jesus Christ “had broken the sabbath.” That is because in John 5:17 Jesus himself said that he works on the Sabbath - “But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.” His work was that of healing the sick. So Jesus confessed to working on the Sabbath, thus he “had broken the sabbath” and consequently the Jews sought to kill him. But we know that Jesus Christ never sinned. It was not a sin for Jesus to work on the sabbath. How can that be? How can it be that Jesus Christ broke the sabbath and never sinned? The answer is the difference between the letter of the law and the spirit of the law. While the letter of the law forbids working on the sabbath, the spirit of the law is love. Love is the fulfillment of the law. And for Jesus to work on the sabbath by healing the sick, he was violating the letter of the law but fulfilling the spirit of the law. The pharisees falsely accused Jesus Christ of sinning because they were legalistic and stuck on the letter of the law that they completely forgot what the law was all about - the good of people through love. The sabbath was instituted for man’s good, not so that men like Jesus could not help men by healing. As Jesus said, “Then said Jesus unto them, I will ask you one thing; Is it lawful on the sabbath days to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy it?” Luke 6:9 The letter of the law forbids all work on the sabbath and yet the spirit of the law would allow and even demand that Doctors, Police, Pastors, Street Preachers, etc, would work on the Sabbath. It is about love - the spirit of the law, not the letter of the law. But when anyone so pushes the letter of the law to the violation of the spirit of the law, they fall into the trap of legalism and commit the sins of the Pharisees. Jesus Christ broke the sabbath by working and yet did not sin for the same reason that David did that which was not lawful and how the priests profane the sabbath yet were blameless: “But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was an hungred, and they that were with him; How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the shewbread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them which were with him, but only for the priests? Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless?” Matt. 12:3-5 See also our video "Sabbath Keeping Is Not Required For New Testament Christians: Seventh-Day Adventists Beware" at th-cam.com/video/TEFt4TOR6E8/w-d-xo.html. 1 Peter 3:15
SDA buried any evidence……..look up who was Grace Amadon! Missionary for SDA , Biologist teacher musician wrote for the Lord hymns, She was a genius and was on that board for five years she was also an astronomer just she was so good that the Navy asked her opinion on things all the time look her up she left SDA when she found out the truth
ADVENTISM AND THE SABBATH: When the Truth Started as a Lie. Part 4 at regenerationandrepentance.wordpress.com/tag/adventism-and-the-sabbath-when-the-truth-started-as-a-lie-part-4/ . As the Research Committee shifted from October 22, 1844, to focus on the crucifixion date, they quickly and clearly saw the full ramifications of what they were dealing with. It is here that the research, led by Grace Amadon, quickly began to deteriorate. It was of the utmost importance for them to be able to establish a crucifixion date in AD 31. However, in order to do this and still keep a Saturday Sabbath, certain principles of luni-solar calendation had to be skewed. Various papers in the Grace Amadon Collection reveal the different ways the committee, led by Amadon, attempted to resolve the problem, from trying to put the crucifixion on the 15th of Abib, to, finally, creating a translation period (when no moon can be seen) that was far too long to be astronomically feasible. From the papers preserved in the Amadon Collection, it appears that the Research Committee discussed the implications of presenting the church with the truth of the Biblical calendar. In an undated letter to Grace Amadon, M. L. Andreasen outlined the difficulties that must be expected if they should report the truth: the Biblical week does not have a continuous weekly cycle and certainly does not align with the modern weekly cycle. It would not be easy to explain to the people that the God who advocated and instituted such an arrangement would be very concerned about the exact seventh day. If an explanation were possible, and the people were at last adjusted to the shift in the feast day and the stability of the seventh day, it might be supposed that in time they would get used to the arrangement. But they would no sooner have become accustomed to this, till another shift is made. Now they shift back to where they were before. But neither is this settled or stationary. Another shift comes, and another and another. Now Denver observes the day before Omaha does, then it observes the same day. Now Omaha and Chicago observe the same day, but at another time a different day. There is no uniformity, and just as the people get used to a certain arrangement the day is changed again. Such is more than the common people can understand, and if we go to the people now with such a proposition, we must expect that confusion will result. And our enemies will not be slow to point out the difficulties and ring the changes on them. -M. L. Andreasen, undated letter to Grace Amadon, Grace Amadon Collection, Box 2, Folder 4, Center Because the Biblical weekly cycle restarts with every New Moon, the Biblical Sabbath appears to “float” through the modern Gregorian week. Sometimes being on Monday; the next month on Tuesday; the month after on Thursday, etc. This is the constant “shift” to which Andreasen is referring in his statements. In the end, the difficulties of presenting a new calendar by which to calculate the seventh-day Sabbath seemed overwhelming. Andreasen urged that the resulting confusion would be only detrimental to the church and for that reason, it should not be pursued. If in the new calendar scheme we are considering adopting it should be admitted that local communities have the right of making their own observations that would determine the New Year, it would yet remain a question if the proper men competent for such observation would be available. . . . Let not the people observing God’s holy day sponsor a calendar that means confusion, and make our work unnecessarily hard. For while the proposed scheme does not in any way affect the succession of the days of the week, and hence does not affect the Sabbath, nevertheless if the people observing the Sabbath also advocates the new scheme of calendation, the resulting confusion will not be of any help to us. . . . While the whole matter would ultimately become adjusted, it would certainly make for confusion. Seventh-day Adventists will soon have enough matters on their hands so that it will not be necessary to make trouble for ourselves before the time. The blank day may yet confront us. We cannot afford to start trouble of our own. To the world it will look that the present proposed calendar is advanced for a specific purpose - not for the purpose of adoption, for we will find that it is impossible of universal application - not for the purpose of supporting the 1844 date. I do not believe that we are under that necessity. It must be possible to establish October 22, 1844, without resorting to such devices. -M. L. Andreasen, undated letter to Grace Amadon, Grace Amadon Collection, Box 2, Folder 4, Center for Adventist Research, Andrews University, emphasis supplied. This is not intellectual honesty! It is intellectual cowardice. Truth remains the same, regardless of the reaction against it. Andreasen was most eloquent in his arguments in favor of staying silent about the effect the Biblical calendar has on the weekly seventh-day Sabbath. He wrote a number of letters in which he urged the Research Committee to remain silent on the subject. See our video "Is Sabbath Keeping Essential to Be a Real Christian?

I was able to get a copy of all of the files from Andrews University on the Grace Amadon meetings. I think they took them all down from public view at this point. It basically concluded that the true sabbath of the Hebrews was based on the new moon and was a moving target every month and not based on The seven day Gregorian calendar.
The 10 commandments were only given to the nation of Israel living in the regional land that was given to them by God. The fourth commandment of Sabbath keeping was never meant to be kept throughout all time from Adam to the end of the world. The regional differences on the earth's surface prove that. For example, could Jewish Eskimos living in Alaska keep the Sabbath day as written in Moses' law? This shows that the Sabbath was a regional, temporary command for Israel and not for the world. Interesting problem in Alaska. According to the official SDA sunset calculator, on Friday eve, May 30th, in Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, the sun set below the horizon, bringing with it the Jewish Shabbat, at 11:38 PM, almost midnight. Note: AK is so far west, it is on Hawaiian time. Here is the quote: Calculations for: Longitude: -148.34000 Latitude: 70.27000 Prudhoe Bay, Alaska Time Zone: Hawaiian Standard Time, HSTDate: 5/30/03 Friday Sunrise: 0:07am HST (sunrise Friday morning)Sunset: 11:38pm HST (sunset, Friday night, becoming sabbath) Next, we find sunrise on Sabbath, May 31st, actually starts before midnight Friday night and el sol invictus stays up all day Sabbath, and into Sabbath night, and into Sunday morning, and into Sunday night, for the next two months! Date: 5/31/03 Sunrise: Sun above horizon HST Sunset: Sun above horizon HST (meaning the sun never sets). Meaning: if you live and work in Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, extracting dino remains buried and liquified by Noah's flood less than 4500 years ago, you have a problem! (no!! dummy! not the recent age of the earth!)... you have to quit working! Because on Friday night, May 30th, when the sun went down at 11:38, bringing in the holy Lord's day, you had to stop working, thou, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and all the strangers within thy igloo. But the sun came up again on Sabbath just a few minutes later, but never went down after that!!! As I scribble this nonsense it is still Sabbath in Prudhoe Bay...cause the sun never went down....no Saturday sunset. So if you believe literally that you must keep sabbath from sunset on Friday night to Sabbath sunset.....the next day, Sabbath, did NOT have a sunset this summer! Won't be a sunset for another two months! So you are faced with keeping Sabbath for two months straight, and giving up your job with Exxon! Unless of course, you are the camp padre, trying to spread the word that black gold comes from dead dinos who missed the ark, or in the medical profession raking in piles of dough and salving your conscience by paying plenty of tithe to keep the hired-archy gainfully employed. Seventh Day Adventists follow their false prophetess Ellen G. White (a woman authority over her religious followers which violates 1 Timothy 2:12, "But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.") & her idol of Sabbath keeping for salvation requirement (violating Galatians 1:6-9) rather than what the Bible plainly teaches about Sabbath keeping for New Testament believers.

According to the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists records (see www.glassdoor.com/Salary/General-Conference-of-Seventh-Day-Adventists-Salaries-E262451.htm - if the link does not appear then do a regular google search using "General-Conference-of-Seventh-Day-Adventists-Salaries" which should bring it up) the highest paid Seventh-day Adventists working for that business are Cyber Security Analysts at $81,000 to $88,000, Family Physicians at $80,000 to $86,000, Communications Projects Managers at $71,000 to $78,000, Chief Operating Officers/Administrative Directors at $62,000 to $66,000 & Administrative Assistants at $53,000 to $57,000. The median pay of an Adventist working for the businesses of the Seventh-day Adventist organization in general (source: www.payscale.com/research/US/Employer=Seventh_Day_Adventist/Salary) is $51,000. I could not find records for how much the very top leaders of the Seventh-day Adventist religion make in salary however the SDA religion does take in about 2 billion in cash a year just in tithes & offerings alone, not counting the money they take in from their businesses (source: news.adventist.org/en/all-news/news/go/2012-04-02/is-the-adventist-church-not-realizing-12-billion/). Based on statistics shown above Seventh-day Adventists who work for the SDA organization are very wealthy compared to most people in the world. Jesus said in Matthew 19:24, "Again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God." “Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them, Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.” -Luke 13:23-24. Do you understand the question in the above Scripture? “Lord, are there few that be saved?” Someone came to Jesus and wanted to know if “few” people were saved. It's interesting that the person didn't ask if “many” people were saved. Evidently the person had been listening to Jesus' preaching and became convinced that few people were really saved. National statistics show that even the poorest Americans living in the United States have a better net income than most of the rest of the world. For instance, according to Forbes magazine, June 1, 2013, the bottom 5% of United States citizens are richer than 68% of people living throughout the rest of the world; U.S. citizens who make $50,000 a year are richer than 99.69% of the people in the rest of the world; U.S. citizens who make $20,000 a year are richer than 96% of the people in the rest of the world, U.S. citizens who make $10,000 a year are richer than 84% of the people in the rest of the world; U.S. citizens who make $100,000 a year are in a category that only 8 out of every 10,000 people achieve in the entire world. Will it be difficult for rich Americans who don't think they're rich to enter into the kingdom of heaven? Jesus already gave the answer. For more on this hear "Those Whom God Hates He Is Often Pleased To Give Plenty Of Earthly Things To, Edwards" at www.sermonaudio.com/sermoninfo.asp?SID=427121150346 by the well known theologian Jonathan Edwards who also preached the most famous sermon on North American soil called, "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" at www.sermonaudio.com/sermoninfo.asp?SID=770213541. The best way to interpret the Bible is with the Bible. God said what He meant and meant what He said. Let the Bible speak for itself. Jesus answered the question in Luke 13:24 with the following words...“...for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.” Most of the people in this world are going straight to Hell when they die because they have not been born again (hear "Few Saved From A Burning Hell" by E.A. Johnston at www.sermonaudio.com/sermoninfo.asp?SID=3514145121). Lies and deception are everywhere! "TRUE BELIEVERS & NON BELIEVERS ACCORDING TO THE GOSPEL OF THE REFORMATION: WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?" at th-cam.com/video/3_dN0oC57Rk/w-d-xo.html). It's not just millionaires & world leaders but many lesser wealthy persons who exceed the vast majority of mankind in money & possessions (Luke16:19-31 is a good example of this in the parable of the rich man & Lazarus).

Works based salvation = Romans 9:30-33 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith. But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness. Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone; As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
How do we explain the books that will be open at judgement? doesn't that prove investigative judgement to a great extent? How will the names be in there if there is no pre-judgement>?
By way of contrast with SDA Investigative Judgement to the books that will be open at judgement see the following links: blog.lifeassuranceministries.org/2019/10/10/new-improved-investigative-judgment/ & blog.lifeassuranceministries.org/2019/08/15/i-have-found-my-rest/ . The “Day of Judgment” is a future event promised in Scripture where God will bring about final justice and condemnation on all those who are still in their sins while delivering those who are in Christ into the joys of eternal life. It is the day on which God will sentence unbelievers to eternal torment in hellfire while preserving the repentant who believes on Jesus Christ solely on the basis of the sacrificial work of Jesus on their behalf through His death on the cross for sin. What is the Day of Judgment? Most of the New Testament writers who refer to the day of judgment by name seem to assume that the reader already knows what it is. In the Gospel of Matthew, for example, Jesus says things like: “Then He began to denounce the cities in which most of His miracles were done, because they did not repent. ‘Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles had occurred in Tyre and Sidon which occurred in you, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. Nevertheless I say to you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judgment than for you. And you, Capernaum, will not be exalted to heaven, will you? You will descend to Hades; for if the miracles had occurred in Sodom which occurred in you, it would have remained to this day. Nevertheless, I say to you that it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for you,” (Matthew 11:20-24). He does not define the day. He assumes that His audience already knows what it is. Yet, even here, there are important clues about this day. It is clearly a future day of great importance. What’s more, the people of ancient Sodom and Gomorrah from way back in the time of Abraham, the people of Tyre and Sidon “long ago,” and the people of the towns of Chorazin and Bethsaida of Jesus’ own day would all stand together to be judged on this same day of judgment. So, even if this were all we had to go on, we would pretty easily come to the conclusion that we are talking about a final day of judgment before God upon all people of all times. Jesus and the New Testament authors seem to have largely felt no need to explicitly define the day of judgment because it was language already well-known in their day. The phrase “day of judgment” occurs rather frequently in Jewish writings of the New Testament era and before, such as in the apocalyptic Esdras literature, where we read: “But the day of judgment will be the end of this age and the beginning of the immortal age to come, in which corruption has passed away, sinful indulgence has come to an end, unbelief has been cut off, and righteousness has increased and truth has appeared. Therefore no one will then be able to have mercy on someone who has been condemned in the judgment, or to harm someone who is victorious,” (2 Esdras 7:113-115, NRSV). Or in the apocryphal Book of Judith, which states: “Woe to the nations that rise up against my people! The Lord Almighty will take vengeance on them in the day of judgment; he will send fire and worms into their flesh; they shall weep in pain forever,” (Judith 16:17, NRSV). Still, when Paul is preaching in Athens to a pagan, gentile audience with no background in Jewish thought, he does explicitly explain: “Therefore having overlooked the times of ignorance, God is now declaring to men that all people everywhere should repent, because He has fixed a day in which He will judge the world in righteousness through a Man whom He has appointed, having furnished proof to all men by raising Him from the dead,” (Acts 17:30-31). Peter, likewise, uses rather vivid language in his second letter, writing: “Know this first of all, that in the last days mockers will come with their mocking, following after their own lusts, and saying, ‘Where is the promise of His coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all continues just as it was from the beginning of creation.’ For when they maintain this, it escapes their notice that by the word of God the heavens existed long ago and the earth was formed out of water and by water, through which the world at that time was destroyed, being flooded with water. But by His word the present heavens and earth are being reserved for fire, kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men,” (2 Peter 3:3-7). The language of complete judgment over all creation and the comparison to the flood of Noah give us a powerful picture of the complete extent of this judgment. We likewise know from Jude that this will be a day when not only men but also fallen angels are judged: “And angels who did not keep their own domain, but abandoned their proper abode, He has kept in eternal bonds under darkness for the judgment of the great day,” (Jude 6). Peter is, however, clear that the godly will be rescued on this day while the wicked are left to destruction: “the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from temptation, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment for the day of judgment, and especially those who indulge the flesh in its corrupt desires and despise authority,” (2 Peter 2:9-10). The Means of Escape The day of judgment is a serious matter of great importance in Scripture. Paul urgently warns: “But because of your stubbornness and unrepentant heart you are storing up wrath for yourself in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God, who will render to each person according to his deeds,” (Romans 2:5-11). Yet He also points to our way of escape: “For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will hardly die for a righteous man; though perhaps for the good man someone would dare even to die. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him,” (Romans 5:6-9). The death of Christ has delivered those who believe from judgment and condemnation. We likewise read in the Gospel of John: “As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up; so that whoever believes will in Him have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God,” (John 3:14-18). It is not our efforts, but rather through looking in faith to Christ and His sacrifice that we are saved from condemnation and judgment. John goes on to write in his first letter: “Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. We have come to know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. By this, love is perfected with us, so that we may have confidence in the day of judgment; because as He is, so also are we in this world. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves punishment, and the one who fears is not perfected in love. We love, because He first loved us,” (1 John 4:15-19). God loved us by sending His Son, Jesus Christ, to take our punishment and die on our behalf. If we confess that Jesus is, indeed, the Son of God and believe in this great act of love by God for us, we can have confidence on the day of judgment. What’s more, His love will become our love. Receiving His love, we ourselves will love as He does and thus turns from sin to righteousness and from selfishness to self-sacrifice for others. So in this age and in the age to come, Christ alone is the answer.
The entire Colossians2:19-, is against the SDA. Ellen claims she had an angel take her around, "Pauls warns us in this letter against such claims'', keep the sabbath or you go to hell SDA says, Paul says " Do not let any body judge you on these things ,days ,sabbaths,new moon festivities ,what you eat or not''. SDA says the power is in the sabbath , paul says the power is in Christ Jesus. SDA seems tohave failed to understand the mystery of Christ Jesus in fulfilling the Law by himself becoming the sacrifice , the sabbath (true rest ) ,life & the ressurrection. If they would listen to the Holy Spirit NOT ellen white ,they would see how the first day was hidden in the passover as the day of worship, since Jesus became our passover , he innaugurates & affirms the First day as the day of worship in His resurrection, in the gathering of the Church at Pentecost . Both events took place on the first day. So sincerely speaking , If the first Church was together on sunday when the Holy Spirit outpoured on them & 3000 people were added , how can another church be born on the seventh Day? , therefore the seventh day sabbath of the old covenant has been fulfilled in the first day of the new church & the new covenant . THE LIGHT was created on the first day, the light was killed on the sixth day, stayed in the grave on the seventh day & was born again from the dead on the first day, this is the light of the world , Jesus Christ whom we gather in communion & worship on this day.
Yes exactly. In her burning desire to be a MESSENGER, EGW proves herself to be one of whom we are warned against in Colossians 2 and the worship of ANGELS since angel MEANS messenger (or even pastor btw)
The Seventh Day Adventist False Religion: A False Religion: The 7th Day Adventists were originally called Millerites because their group was founded by William Miller, a false prophet who predicted Jesus would return in either 1843 or 1844. When Miller’s prediction of Christ’s second coming failed to come to pass, the Millerites disbanded in dismay; this event became known as the “Great Disappointment.” But then a couple of Miller’s followers claimed to have visions (lies to support their false religion) to account for the failed prophecy. Instead of coming to earth, Jesus had entered the heavenly temple-thus, Miller was right, after all, they said, except his prophecy had a spiritual fulfillment instead of a physical one. One of the seers who covered for Miller was 17-year-old Ellen G. Harmon, who had her first of 2,000 purported visions in a prayer meeting shortly after Miller’s disgrace. With her vision, Ellen soon became a beacon of hope for disillusioned Millerites. She united Adventist factions and became the spiritual guide for a new religious group. Right from the start the Seventh Day Adventists were a false religion with false prophets and false biblical teachings! Other problematic doctrines in Seventh-day Adventism include the teaching that Satan is the “scapegoat” and will bear believers’ sins (The Great Controversy, p. 422, 485)-this is the opposite of what the Bible says about who bore our sins whom is Jesus (1 Peter 2:21-24). Seventh-day Adventism also identifies Jesus as Michael the archangel (source: Jude 1:9 of their Clear Word Bible, published by Review and Herald Publishing Association, 1994)-a doctrine that denies the true nature of Christ, and teaches that Jesus entered a second phase of His redemptive work on October 22nd, 1844, as prophesied by Hiram Edson. The Clear Word Bible is the bible the Adventists created for themselves to support their false doctrines; it’s a Seventh-day Adventist paraphrase of the Bible that alters numerous verses to bring them in line with SDA doctrine. And, of course, the Adventist promotion of Sabbath-keeping as a primary doctrine goes against the teaching of Scripture on the matter (see Romans 14:5). Seventh-Day Adventism is a diverse movement, and not all SDA groups hold to all the doctrines mentioned above. But all Seventh-Day Adventists should seriously consider the following: a recognized prophetess in their church was a teacher of aberrant doctrine, and their church has its roots in the failed prophecies of William Miller. Due to the penchant of Adventists to accept extra-biblical revelation and the doctrinal issues mentioned above, one would strongly encourage believers to not get involved in Seventh-day Adventism. The Bible says suffer not a woman to teach (1 Timothy 2:12-15) contradicting Ellen G. White’s leadership; the Bible says that it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment (Hebrews 9:27-28) and that when unbelievers die they go to Hell as the wrath of God abides upon them (John 3:36; Revelation 21:8) and that unbelievers will lift up their eyes in Hell being in torment (Luke 16:19-31) and that Hell is a place “Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched (Mark 9:48); when you die you go to Heaven or Hell (John 3:36); there is no soul sleep for to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord (2 Corinthians 5:8)! The Bible states that there is no annihilationism, because you literally burn in Hell until the Great White Throne Judgment where unbelievers will be taken out of Hell, the book of their life will be read to them showing all their sins and their rejection of Jesus throughout their life and then they will be cast into the Lake of Fire (Revelation 20:11-15). The Bible also states that the Lake of Fire, like Hell, is also a place where humans will suffer torment forever (Revelation 14:9-11), that unbelievers will be cast into the Lake of Fire (Revelation 20:11-15) and that Satan, the Beast (the Antichrist) and the false prophet will be in the Lake of Fire for eternity (Revelation 19:20). The Bible states that Jesus is God (John 1:1-2; 1:14; 1 Timothy 3:16) and not the archangel Michael as the 7th Day Adventists claim; they have a false Jesus that cannot save them, as only the Biblical Jesus exists and the Bible says that He is God! The Bible states that Christians have a faith-based-salvation and not a works-based-salvation (Ephesians 2:8-9), which means the Seventh Day Adventists are trying to earn their way into Heaven, which they cannot work their way to Heaven: “Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity” (Matthew 7:21-23), hence they are heading to the very Hell they often lie about. The Adventists also disregard the Bible and instead use their Clear Word Bible, which was made by them to support their false doctrines. The Jehovah’s Witnesses do the same with their New World Translation. You either trust the Word of God, or the lies of the 7th Day Adventists. Yet another blunder by the 7th Day Adventists is that the Sunday service is the Mark of the Beast, while lets examine the verse that talks about the Mark of the Beast: “And he [the 2nd Beast, the False prophet] causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that has the Mark, or the name of the beast [the 1st Beast, the Antichrist], or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six (666).” Revelation 13:16-18 Nowhere in this verse does it state that Sunday service is the Mark of the Beast. Rather it states a few things about the Mark of the Beast: 1. It goes into our right hands and foreheads, like a bio-chip, microchip, electronic tattoo, etc. 2. It is connected to a cashless economy; how else can you stop everyone on earth from buying or selling? 3. and that if you do not have the Mark of the Beast you cannot buy or sell anything. So no the Mark of the Beast is not Sunday service! The 7th Day Adventists are a false religious cult whose leadership will take the Mark of the Beast to have access to their billions because they have been deceived about the Mark of the Beast. They will have their followers do the same and they will all be damned to the Lake of Fire for eternity!
@@time_2_get_readynot only that the fact that she claims to be a minister of God a teacher the word of God says that a woman should not teach any of these women Joyce Meyer, Paula White on and on and on the devil gets these females calling rebellion to God to teach falsely and to allow air into the church. Man of God would never allow a woman to teach nowhere in the book of Acts do you ever see a woman being called by Jesus Christ to minister the gospel around the world. Indeed women can share their testimony they are helpers they are encouragers their supporters their prayer warriors! There are helpers to ministers and their pastor husbands hallelujah women have their beautiful role in the kingdom
Every SDA church, I've attended in my opinion has not been a Jim Jones kinda setup. However their unusual pressing about being rebaptisted in which, Nobody has given me a reason worth anything. Definitely Read the bible for yourself and the disciples didn't have any formal schooling and their fine. Faith, Jesus Christ and Paul's writings!!
Seventh Day Baptists are Baptists who observe the Sabbath as the seventh day of the week, Saturday, as a holy day to God. They believe in conscious baptism of believers by immersion, congregational government and the scriptural basis of opinion and practice. There are many other groups besides these Baptists out there that keep the Sabbath day but many of those are just as false as the the SDA & they too do not have Ellen G. White. Should we keep the Sabbath or not? It was the custom of the Jews to come together on the Saturday Sabbath, cease work, and worship God. Of the Ten Commandments listed in Exodus 20:1-17, only nine were reinstituted in the New Testament. (Six in Matthew 19:18, murder, adultery, stealing, false witness, honor parents, and worshiping God; Romans 13:9, coveting. Worshiping God properly covers the first three commandments). The one that was not reaffirmed was the one about the Sabbath. Instead, Jesus said that He is the Lord of the Sabbath (Matt. 12:8). Exodus 20:8; 23:12; 31:15; Deuteronomy 5:12; Leviticus 26:2 and Romans 14:5; Colossians 2:16 Keep the Sabbath Exodus 20:8-9, “Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 “Six days you shall labor and do all your work,” Exodus 23:12, “Six days you are to do your work, but on the seventh day you shall cease from labor in order that your ox and your donkey may rest, and the son of your female slave, as well as your stranger, may refresh themselves.” Exodus 31:15, “For six days work may be done, but on the seventh day there is a sabbath of complete rest, holy to the Lord; whoever does any work on the sabbath day shall surely be put to death.” Deuteronomy 5:12, “Observe the sabbath day to keep it holy, as the Lord your God commanded you.” Leviticus 26:2, “You shall keep My sabbaths and reverence My sanctuary; I am the Lord.” Don’t keep the Sabbath Romans 14:5, “One man regards one day above another, another regards every day alike. Let each man be fully convinced in his own mind.” Colossians 2:16, “Therefore let no one act as your judge in regard to food or drink or in respect to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day.” In creation, God rested on the seventh day. But, since God is all-powerful, He doesn’t get tired. He doesn’t need to take a break and rest. So, why does it say that He rested? The reason is simple: Mark 2:27 says, “The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath.” In other words, God established the Sabbath as a rest for His people - not because He needed a break but because we are mortal and need a time of rest - of focus on God. In this, our spirits and bodies are both renewed. The O.T. system of Law required keeping the Sabbath as part of the overall moral, legal, and sacrificial system by which the Jewish people satisfied God’s requirements for behavior, government, and forgiveness of sins. The Sabbath was part of the Law in that sense. To “remain” in favor with God, you also had to keep the Sabbath. If it was not kept, then the person was in sin and would often be punished (Ezekiel 18:4; Rom. 6:23; Deut. 13:1-9; Num. 35:31; Lev. 20:2, etc.). But with Jesus’ atonement and justification by faith (Rom. 5:1), we no longer are required to keep the Law and hence the Sabbath, which was only a shadow of things to come (Col. 2:16-17). We are not under Law but grace (Rom. 6:14-15). The Sabbath is fulfilled in Jesus because in Him we have rest (Matt. 11:28). We are not obligated to keep the Law, which goes for the Sabbath as well. Summary of Article The Sabbath was given to Israel as a sign between them and God. The Sabbath was part of the Old Covenant Law. Christians are not under the Old Covenant Law. Christians are free to worship on any day they choose. Christians should not be legalistic regarding Sabbath keeping. Please see also our videos on Sabbath keeping called "Sabbath Keeping Is Not Required For New Testament Christians: Seventh-Day Adventists Beware" at th-cam.com/video/TEFt4TOR6E8/w-d-xo.html & "Is Sabbath Keeping Essential to Be a Real Christian? Former SDA Pastor Answers This Question" at th-cam.com/video/w0L3rSSL_H8/w-d-xo.html . 2 Timothy 2:15, "15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness."
At face value you don't believe in keeping in a sabbath because you don't give drink and meat offerings commanded to be sacrificed every sabbath. You also don't kill people who break it as commanded by God. You don't believe in keeping the true Biblical Sabbath.
@@CAnswersTV thank you I'll check out the other videos I am seeking gor a church that worship the true Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth, and I need to know which church is the right way to go, I reach a point where I don't trust what I'm seeing and hearing in these churches this far. One prays to Mary, The other prays to Jesus but has Ellen G white, whiles, others believe in Jehovah, Allah and Mohamed, I believe in the lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth I just want to do right by the lord. Churches shouldn't have itches. One person told me, just overlook the church short comings and just focus on worshipping Jesus Christ, but how can you truly worship the lord Jesus Christ in a place where there's so many contradiction and confusion, you have to be careful, I have to be careful, some of these churches can really mislead you and send you to hell. I ask the lord Jesus Christ 🙏 for guidance
@@Angelnightingale - You are definitely on the right track in what you are saying here because as Jesus warned in Matthew 7:15, "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but underneath are ravenous wolves." 1 John 4:1 says "Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world." You must be extremely careful & discerning in this very deceitful world as the Bible warns about. The Bible tells us to expose error (Ephesians 5:11, "And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them."). And to expose error we must make righteous judgments. Christians must judge in order to: 1. Try the spirits to see if they are from God, for many false prophets are in the world. (1 John 4:1). 2. Mark & avoid false teachers, slaves of their own bellies, deceiving many with their smooth & flattering speech (Romans 16:17-18). 3. Rebuke false teachers, rebellious men, & deceivers who subvert whole families with their false doctrine. (Titus 1:9-16) 4. Have no fellowship with immoral, impure, or covetous men. (Ephesians 5:5-7) 5. Receive not deceivers who do not abide in the teaching of Christ into our homes, nor giving them any greeting. (2 John 7-11) 6. Be wary of those who preach another gospel. (2 Corinthians 11:4, Galatians 1:6-9) Even David, who feared touching one of God's anointed, did not hesitate to judge & expose Saul's sin before the world. "Out of the wicked comes forth wickedness." (1 Samuel 24:10, 12-13) Thus, shouldn't true Christians, following the Biblical standards laid down, judge & expose the sins of false teachers, prophets & immoral brothers in the church; all those who would pollute the truth with perverted doctrines or watered-down teachings which tickle the ear? (2 Timothy 4:2-5, "preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction. 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires, 4 and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths. 5 But you, be sober in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry."). In order to do the above you must know what the Bible teaches before you get tricked into joining some false religious group which perverts what the Bible is saying (see our video "Both Fake Christians & Pagans Deny the Bible & Jesus Alike Since Jesus Said Holy Scripture is True" at th-cam.com/video/A0B9B2Mcb6M/w-d-xo.html ). Remember Satan never sleeps - 1 Peter 5:8, "8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour". Even the Muslims have an Islamic Jesus which is not the Biblical Jesus. Similarly the Jehovah's Witnesses have a JW Jesus who is a created angel, the Mormons have a Mormon Jesus who is the brother of the Devil, the Roman Catholics have a Wafer Jesus who needs a "Mediatrix" to help him who is the Virgin Mary, the Seventh-day Adventists have an Ellen G. White Jesus who needs an 1844 investigative judgment to see who gets to heaven, the New Agers believe Jesus was an enlightened man, not God Almighty. They consider Jesus one of many enlightened masters, like Buddha and Zoroaster, who can help people find their own divinity & godhood. The list could go on & on. See our main TH-cam channel page which displays 19 playlists exposing many of these false religions & their phony imitations of Jesus at th-cam.com/users/CAnswersTV. Remember what Jesus said in Matthew 24:24, "For false christs and false prophets will arise and will show great signs and wonders, so as to deceive, if possible, even the elect." When choosing a good church to attend you are absolutely correct when you said "I have to be careful, some of these churches can really mislead you and send you to hell." Good preachers we recommend to listen to can be found on our most popular video on TH-cam with over 2.4 million views so far called "Top List of Outstanding Bible Teachers & Preachers on SermonAudio.com for Personal & Group Study" at th-cam.com/video/N6153Yqz0xg/w-d-xo.html . See also "Essential Bible Doctrines That Must Be Believed To Be A True Christian But Also Prove Who Is False" at th-cam.com/video/RcziamJtSTg/w-d-xo.html . When trying to find a good local church, it’s good to remember that, just like the people in them, no church is perfect. However, there are many important issues that should be considered when choosing a church: 1. What is being preached and taught? The Bible is clear that we should only listen to those who preach the true gospel of Jesus Christ (Galatians 1:6-9). If any other message is being given in its place, then it is not a Christ-following church and you should move on to another one (Ephesians 1:22; 4:15, Colossians 1:18). The church should be speaking God’s truth as given to us through His inspired Word, the Bible (2 Timothy 3:15-17). The truth of the gospel is that we are sinners (Romans 3:23), that we need a savior, and that Jesus is the only way of salvation (Romans 6:23, Ephesians 2:8-9). 2. Is the church a place of fellowship and community? The early church of Acts 2:42-47 “devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. 3. Is the church focused on reaching out to others, outside the church, with the message of the gospel and practical service? Christ commanded us to carry the gospel to the ends of the earth, to all unreached peoples (Matthew 28:19-20). 4. Does the style of music fit with your taste or preferences? The older hymns are often rich with truth and important doctrines that can bolster our faith, and there are also many newer songs and choruses that are uplifting and encouraging. Here's a video I put out concerning this "Psalms, Hymns & Spiritual Songs: Biblical Worship - Colossians 3:16; Ephesians 5:19; Psalm 150" at th-cam.com/video/V5aoaHtdU_c/w-d-xo.html . 5. Best choices: 1.Try doing an internet search for Reformed Baptist churches in your area & see what comes up & go visit (there's not that many of them out there but I believe Reformed Baptists are the closest to what the Bible actually teaches doctrinally - farese.com/ ). 2. If that doesn't work try a Bible believing Baptist church but they can easily be filled with many typical problems so you must be discerning in what each Baptist church you come across is doing (there can be the good, the bad & the ugly so be careful). 3. If that doesn't work try a "Bible Church" but you'll have to investigate what their doctrinal statement is in each case. 4. If that doesn't work you could try an Orthodox Presbyterian Church but beware of Pentecostal & Charismatic churches - see our video series starting with "Blasphemous Charismatic & Pentecostal Mayhem #1: Mad Delusional Experiences Replace Scripture Alone" at th-cam.com/video/Kbv7YsyMf0I/w-d-xo.html . May the Lord bless you in your search for a good home church to attend regularly. Hebrews 10:25, "not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the day drawing near."
Its funny what made me leave the SDA church was me spotting the verse 1 Timothy 2:12 which could have been me just having a bad interpretation of the bible but nonetheless im glad i found a community bible church that has a great pastor that is bold with the truth of the bible. And teaches us to be sealed by the holy Spirit.
See our full reply to this person which starts with "You, having read Ellen White's 1858 book many times have concluded from it: 1. that her interpretation of 1844 is correct about the Sanctuary 2. Plagiarism is not important & 3. Ellen White did not teach the Trinity in it. These seem to be the main reasons you believe her book is " a very strong book." We would argue that all three of these reasons are why Ellen White is a false prophet who is leading legions of people to eternal destruction. Ellen's investigative judgement is false - see www.truthorfables.com/investigative_judgment_made_simple.htm , 2. Plagiarism when speaking as "The Spirit of Prophecy" should not be necessary when you're claiming it is from God - see www.truthorfables.com/searchresults.html?q=plagiarism&t=1557173586196 . 3. Denying the Trinity is to deny the very God of the Bible. 1) There is one God (Deuteronomy 6:4; 1 Corinthians 8:4; Galatians 3:20; 1 Timothy 2:5). 2) The Trinity consists of three Persons (Genesis 1:1, 26; 3:22; 11:7; Isaiah 6:8, 48:16, 61:1; Matthew 3:16-17, 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14)." @jenzzuffer says - "My only experience with seventh day adventism and ellen gould white is reading the great controversy edition from 1858. I think its a very strong book, i read it many times by now. i never joined the church and i dont intend to, what you are saying about the church is not ruining the messages of the book. I dont care what some men tried to interpret "cleaning the sanctuary" as, the book says that prophetic time closed in 1844. "Their mistake consisted in not understanding what the Sanctuary was, and the nature of its cleansing. Jesus did enter the Most Holy place to cleanse the Sanctuary at the ending of the days". "Time was fulfilled, but where was their Saviour? They had lost him. I was then shown the disappointment of the disciples as they came to the sepulchre and found not the body of Jesus. Said Mary, They have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him. Angels told the sorrowing disciples that their Lord had risen, and would go before them into Galilee. I saw that as Jesus looked upon the disappointed ones with the deepest compassion, he sent his angels to direct their minds that they might find him, and follow him where he was; that they might understand that the earth is not the Sanctuary; that he must needs enter the Most Holy place of the heavenly Sanctuary to cleanse it; to make a special atonement for Israel, and to receive the kingdom of his Father, and then return to earth and take them to dwell with him forever". Furthermore I dont see why i should care about plagiarism. What matters is sending a message, an understanding. its a message and understanding that other people before her had and that other people after her still continue to have. intellectual property simply is irrelevant when wanting to spread an understanding regarding religion, there is no "i, me" in the matter, there is nothing to own. Its absurd to claim others wont use it again, of course they will. All things we could understand has already been understood by somebody before us and will be understood by somebody after us who will want to say the same messages again. Its literally the point that we get the same conclusions over and over again and have a desire to talk about them with people again. Lastly, but not relevant to the video i want to say that i think the 1858 edition does not confirm the trinity but instead keeps a distinct separation between the holy ghost, god and jesus. I think that separation makes sense, i reject the trinity based on it." See our reply below to this statement.
Our reply to the above comment from @jenzzuffer is as follows: You, having read Ellen's 1858 book many times have concluded from it: 1. that her interpretation of 1844 is correct about the Sanctuary 2. Plagiarism is not important & 3. Ellen White did not teach the Trinity in it. These seem to be the main reasons you believe her book is " a very strong book." We would argue that all three of these reasons are why Ellen White is a false prophet who is leading legions of people to eternal destruction. Ellen's investigative judgement is false - see www.truthorfables.com/investigative_judgment_made_simple.htm , 2. Plagiarism when speaking as "The Spirit of Prophecy" should not be necessary when you're claiming it is from God - see www.truthorfables.com/searchresults.html?q=plagiarism&t=1557173586196 . 3. Denying the Trinity is to deny the very God of the Bible. 1) There is one God (Deuteronomy 6:4; 1 Corinthians 8:4; Galatians 3:20; 1 Timothy 2:5). 2) The Trinity consists of three Persons (Genesis 1:1, 26; 3:22; 11:7; Isaiah 6:8, 48:16, 61:1; Matthew 3:16-17, 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14). In Genesis 1:1, the Hebrew plural noun "Elohim" is used. In Genesis 1:26, 3:22, 11:7 and Isaiah 6:8, the plural pronoun for “us” is used. The word "Elohim" and the pronoun “us” are plural forms, definitely referring in the Hebrew language to more than two. While this is not an explicit argument for the Trinity, it does denote the aspect of plurality in God. The Hebrew word for "God," "Elohim," definitely allows for the Trinity. In Isaiah 48:16 and 61:1, the Son is speaking while making reference to the Father and the Holy Spirit. Compare Isaiah 61:1 to Luke 4:14-19 to see that it is the Son speaking. Matthew 3:16-17 describes the event of Jesus’ baptism. Seen in this passage is God the Holy Spirit descending on God the Son while God the Father proclaims His pleasure in the Son. Matthew 28:19 and 2 Corinthians 13:14 are other examples of passages that present three distinct Persons in the Trinity. 3) The members of the Trinity are distinguished one from another in various passages. In the Old Testament, “LORD” is distinguished from “Lord” (Genesis 19:24; Hosea 1:4). The LORD has a Son (Psalm 2:7, 12; Proverbs 30:2-4). The Spirit is distinguished from the “LORD” (Numbers 27:18) and from “God” (Psalm 51:10-12). God the Son is distinguished from God the Father (Psalm 45:6-7; Hebrews 1:8-9). In the New Testament, Jesus speaks to the Father about sending a Helper, the Holy Spirit (John 14:16-17). This shows that Jesus did not consider Himself to be the Father or the Holy Spirit. Consider also the other instances when Jesus speaks to the Father. Was He speaking to Himself? No. He spoke to another Person in the Trinity-the Father. 4) Each member of the Trinity is God. The Father is God (John 6:27; Romans 1:7; 1 Peter 1:2). The Son is God (John 1:1, 14; Romans 9:5; Colossians 2:9; Hebrews 1:8; 1 John 5:20). The Holy Spirit is God (Acts 5:3-4; 1 Corinthians 3:16). 5) There is subordination within the Trinity. Scripture shows that the Holy Spirit is subordinate to the Father and the Son, and the Son is subordinate to the Father. This is an internal relationship and does not deny the deity of any Person of the Trinity. This is simply something our finite minds cannot understand concerning the infinite God. Concerning the Son see Luke 22:42, John 5:36, John 20:21, and 1 John 4:14. Concerning the Holy Spirit see John 14:16, 14:26, 15:26, 16:7, and especially John 16:13-14. 6) The individual members of the Trinity have different tasks. The Father is the ultimate source or cause of the universe (1 Corinthians 8:6; Revelation 4:11); divine revelation (Revelation 1:1); salvation (John 3:16-17); and Jesus’ human works (John 5:17; 14:10). The Father initiates all of these things. The Son is the agent through whom the Father does the following works: the creation and maintenance of the universe (1 Corinthians 8:6; John 1:3; Colossians 1:16-17); divine revelation (John 1:1, 16:12-15; Matthew 11:27; Revelation 1:1); and salvation (2 Corinthians 5:19; Matthew 1:21; John 4:42). The Father does all these things through the Son, who functions as His agent. The Holy Spirit is the means by whom the Father does the following works: creation and maintenance of the universe (Genesis 1:2; Job 26:13; Psalm 104:30); divine revelation (John 16:12-15; Ephesians 3:5; 2 Peter 1:21); salvation (John 3:6; Titus 3:5; 1 Peter 1:2); and Jesus’ works (Isaiah 61:1; Acts 10:38). Thus, the Father does all these things by the power of the Holy Spirit.

I am not a Seventh day Adventist, I know a few people who are and have questioned my understanding of the Sabbath. In my research I found this, in every "Religion", false teachings and docutrine's less focus is put into the understanding of who God is, the power of Jesus Christ, the end times and the understanding of what is truly required, to the point where the participant is more trying to be in line with what the founder, "Ellen g white" & others are trying to promote. Jesus has warned us about deception too many times, if you seek truth, seek and you shall find, many will not find truth in religion because they are too caught up in the practice and law of whatever they are in and hence instead asking or seeking God for wisdom, knowledge and understanding, they are caught up in the snare of deception. People perish for a lack of knowledge. There were a lot of I's in Ellen g white's doctrine, to me is a sign of pride and wanted to be the central point, Soo many scriptures in the bible itself can contridict this false doctrine, but you have to seek it for yourself.
PS 147:19-20 ""He shewed His word unto Jacob, His statutes and His judgments unto Israel [not the Gentles] He has not dealt so with any other nation: and as for His judgments, they have not known them. Praise you the LORD." The Law was given to the Jews not the Gentles. ACTS 15:24 "Forasmuch as we [the Apostles] have heard, that certain ones which went out from us have troubled you [Gentles] with words, subverting your souls, saying, You must be circumcised, and keep the Law: to whom we gave no such commandment:" ACTS 15:28-29 For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you [Gentles] no greater burden than these necessary things; That you abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if you keep yourselves, you shall do well. Fare you well." Gentles are a law unto themselves says ROM 2:14 who have similar moral laws as says the 10 Commandments but not exactly the same [no Sabbath law] It is by this moral code written in the heart of the Gentles that the Gentles are convicted of sin and therefore their need for Christ.
Also not sda. Spent years learning about and deconverting members, and I've come to the conclusion that it is a very elaborate cult, that pretends to be all about religion, but acts as a corporation. Sdas have a rule (not biblical, by the way), that each member must tithe 10% of their annual pay (the "vision" of how egw got that 10% is beyond hilarious btw). Of course the bible says give what you can, not a set amount. So while it was a cult from the get go, its morphed into a corporation. The members I've encountered and many now deconverted have all told me the same, that they were given better social acknowledgement by drawing in converts. The cult focuses on drawing in members. Of course, they do it under the guise of following Jesus and God. Most members have no clue. They are led to believe that they are the remenant people. That they are saved. They are cut off and/or ridiculed when they leave. Told they are backslidden. That they don't believe the true gospel. Etc. Everyone here knows the lies. But with 18 million members, do the math. It's a cult corporation, that has effectively created a society of followers who worship something they believe is good, while shaming their peers if they don't comply or adhere to the beliefs. The "church" changes their position every few years. Makes egw a little more obsolete. Look more and more like a true Christian denomination. Hiding things under layers of lies. The leaders get richer, and the focus isn't even on them, but God. They spin the lies, the members gobble them up. That's the framework. All the over and above is cult of course. As a born again Christian and once a satanist, it blows me away how few Christian's understand the true power and capabilities of satan. Of the lies and deceptions. Sdas believe in annaliation, that satan will carry the souls of the unsaved into the lake of fire, while the saved will go to heaven. Of course, this takes satan out of the picture; exactly what satan wants. Sdas don't see satan as a threat. But satan works against God. Satan seeks his own will, away from God. SDA is an elaborate cult. Booming corporation. Satan designed. Full of greed and hate. And also truly misled people believing they are doing the right thing to make it to heaven. True believers, wrong place. Good luck showing that, or what you (OP) mentioned to any current sdas. They'll dismiss you as satan influenced and a heretic. Oh the irony
Idon't believe GOD has a set day now to worship. Some people work different days of the week! Jesus I believe said I am the Sabbath ! As long as you are BORN AGAIN!
@@4thcommandment.thesabbathc722 - Romans 14:5, "One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind." In Colossians 2:16-17, the apostle Paul declares, “Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ.” These Scriptures make it clear that, for the Christian, Sabbath-keeping is a matter of spiritual freedom, not a command from God. Sabbath-keeping is an issue on which God‟s Word instructs us not to judge each other. Sabbath-keeping is a matter about which each Christian needs to be fully convinced in his/her own mind. In the early chapters of the book of Acts, the first Christians were predominantly Jews. When Gentiles began to receive the gift of salvation through Jesus Christ, the Jewish Christians had a dilemma. What aspects of the Mosaic Law and Jewish tradition should Gentile Christians be instructed to obey? The apostles met and discussed the issue in the Jerusalem council (Acts 15). The decision was, “It is my judgment, therefore, that we should not make it difficult for the Gentiles who are turning to God. Instead we should write to them, telling them to abstain from food polluted by idols, from sexual immorality, from the meat of strangled animals and from blood” (Acts 15:19-20). Sabbath-keeping was not one of the commands the apostles felt was necessary to force on Gentile believers. It is inconceivable that the apostles would neglect to include Sabbath-keeping if it was God‟s command for Christians to observe the Sabbath day. A common error in the Sabbath-keeping debate is the concept that the Sabbath was the day of worship. Groups such as the Seventh Day Adventists hold that God requires the church service to be held on Saturday, the Sabbath day. That is not what the Sabbath command was.The Sabbath command was to do no work on the Sabbath day (Exodus 20:8-11). Nowhere in Scripture is the Sabbath day commanded to be the day of worship. Yes, Jews in Old Testament, NewTestament, and modern times use Saturday as the day of worship, but that is not the essence of the Sabbath command. In the book of Acts, whenever a meeting is said to be on the Sabbath, it is a meeting of Jews, not Christians. When did the early Christians meet? Acts 2:46-47gives us the answer, “Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.” If there was a day that Christians met regularly, it was the first day of the week (our Sunday), not the Sabbath day (our Saturday) (Acts 20:7; 1 Corinthians 16:2). In honor of Christ‟s resurrection on Sunday, the early Christians observed Sunday not as the “Christian Sabbath” but as a day to especially worship Jesus Christ. Is there anything wrong with worshipping on Saturday, the Jewish Sabbath? Absolutely not! We should worship God every day, not just on Saturday or Sunday! Many churches today have both Saturday and Sunday services. There is freedom in Christ (Romans 8:21; 2 Corinthians 3:17; Galatians 5:1). Should a Christian practice Sabbath-keeping, that is, not working on Saturdays? If a Christian feels led to do so, absolutely, yes (Romans 14:5). However, those who choose to practice Sabbath-keeping should not judge those who do not keep the Sabbath (Colossians 2:16). Further, those who do not keep the Sabbath should avoid being a stumbling block (1 Corinthians 8:9) to those who do keep the Sabbath. Galatians 5:13-15sums up the whole issue: “You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature; rather, serve one another in love. The entire law is summed up in a single command: "Love your neighbor as yourself.‟ If you keep on biting and devouring each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other."
mikartt7 - For a much more detailed explanation click on www.truthorfables.com/2300_Days_by_Vowless.htm . Daniel 8 speaks of 2,300 days in a prophecy concerning a persecution of the Jewish people during the intertestamental period. The prophecy of the 2,300 days (“evenings and mornings”) is found in Daniel 8:13-14: “Then I heard a holy one speaking, and another holy one said to him, ‘How long will it take for the vision to be fulfilled-the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, the rebellion that causes desolation, the surrender of the sanctuary and the trampling underfoot of the Lord’s people?’ He said to me, ‘It will take 2,300 evenings and mornings; then the sanctuary will be reconsecrated.’” The time period covered, 2,300 days, figures to about 6 1/3 years. We believe this prophecy was fulfilled before the birth of Christ, during the reign of the Seleucid king Antiochus IV (Epiphanes). Antiochus desecrated the temple in Jerusalem and severely persecuted the Jews from about September 171 BC to December 165 BC. When Antiochus died, the Jews purified and rededicated the temple, just as Daniel had predicted. These events are commemorated in the celebration of Hanukkah.
@@ruahfire7566 - What is an abomination? An abomination is much more serious: it’s a thing that causes profound disgust or hatred. It’s an obscenity, a great evil. The term “abomination” appears more than 100 times in the Old Testament, and only a few times in the New Testament. And most commonly, the word refers to significant violations of the covenant, especially idolatry. You see it in Matthew chapter 24 verse 15, and Mark chapter 13 verse 14, where Jesus refers to “the Abomination of Desolation”, meaning an abomination that causes desolation or destruction. He says this to his disciples: ...when you see the abomination of desolation spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in the holy place... then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. Let the one who is on the housetop not go down to take what is in his house, and let the one who is in the field not turn back to take his cloak. And alas for women who are pregnant and for those who are nursing infants in those days! Pray that your flight may not be in winter or on a Sabbath. For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, and never will be. There’s been some speculation about who or what this “abomination of desolation” is, but things are made clearer by Jesus when he says that the prophet Daniel had already spoken about it. Sure enough, there are three places where the prophet Daniel speaks about it. In Daniel chapter 9, he says “on the wing of abominations shall come one who makes desolate”. Daniel chapter 11 says, “they shall set up the abomination that makes desolate.” And in chapter 12, Daniel again talks about “the abomination that makes desolate”. Daniel speaks of a prince who will destroy Jerusalem, together with its temple and its sacrifices. He says that “forces from him shall appear and profane the temple and fortress, and shall take away the regular burnt offering. And they shall set up the abomination that makes desolate”. Who is the “him” in that sentence, this person who will profane the temple and the fortress? As is often the case with Old Testament prophecy, there is a long-term fulfillment of the prophecy, and a short-term one. In the short-term, Daniel’s prophecy was fulfilled by a king called Antiochus Epiphanes IV, who ruled Palestine from 175-164 B.C. He treated Israel so terribly that Israel rebelled against him, and when he arrived to suppress the rebellion, his forces went into the temple in Jerusalem, set up an altar for Zeus, and offered pigs as a sacrifice. Not only was this idolatry, of course, but it defiled the Holy of Holies, the most sacred inner part of the Temple, where God was said to dwell. Hence the abomination that causes desolation - desolation for the people of Israel. But when Jesus talks to his disciples about the abomination of desolation, he speaks of it as a future event. He says, “Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place.” And typically in Scripture, a “generation” is 40 years. So if Antiochus Epiphanes was the short-term fulfillment of Daniel’s prophecy, who was the longer-term fulfillment, the one Jesus spoke of two hundred years later? Well, sure enough, within 40 years of Jesus’ words, the temple in Jerusalem was again desecrated. It happened in 70AD, and this time, it came from the Romans, led by their commander Titus. His armies were an abomination because they carried with them idolatrous images of their Emperor. And they brought desolation because they destroyed the city of Jerusalem, and its Temple. And once again, the Holy of Holies was defiled. The Jewish historian Josephus claimed that 1.1 million people, most of them Jewish, were killed during the siege, so that bodies were literally piled up around the altar. The usual population of Jerusalem was likely enlarged given that many had come to the city to celebrate the Passover, which was to occur right as the siege was being launched. Prior to the siege, the Romans had allowed Jewish worshipers to enter the city for the feast, but they did not allow them to leave. In love, then, Jesus spoke to his disciples about this horrendous event in advance to prepare them for what was coming, to warn them ahead of time so that they could flee the city. Thankfully you and I were not alive to see such things, but Jesus’ loving warning here is still relevant to us. It reminds us that although He spoke, again and again, of things yet to come, his warnings - again and again - have proved to be trustworthy. You can, quite literally, stake your life on them. Just a few verses later in Matthew’s Gospel, Jesus presents us with another loving warning. He speaks of his own second coming, as judge of the whole earth. He forewarns his disciples to make sure that they are living in obedience to him when he comes - which will be at a time they don’t expect. Let’s be ready.
@@CAnswersTV Gave you a thumbs up for the informative reply. I didn't expect this response to be quite honest, I was going to nail you on the fact that Antiochus Epiphanes did not fulfill the abomination of desolation which Jesus spoke of referring to the prophecy of Daniel. Kudos to you sir! So you agree then that the little horns spoken of in Daniel 7 & 8 ARE NOT the same entity? Clearly one of these little horns was to come out of the 3rd Empire = Grecian Empire, and specifically from one of the 4 horns that arose AFTER the fall of Alexander (the Big Horn). The other horn was to come out of the 4th Empire or the Roman Empire, and would uproot 3 of the 10 kings and the Dragon would give him his power, seat, and authority. This was fulfilled by the Roman Catholic Papacy in 538 AD. I assume you will disagree on this point, but we both agree the two little horns of Daniel 7 & 8 cannot possibly be the same entity.
is there possibility Ellen suffered from mercury II nitrate effects from her fathers use of it in his pelt business? I have done preliminary style research and this is concerning to me...Wiki speaks of it as a type of "mad hatters" disease....any thoughts???
rick mccoy - Unfortunately, there are no "typical" symptoms of mercury poisoning that could easily be used to classify Mrs. White's condition beyond all possibility of doubt. Effects vary considerably depending upon one's age, weight, rate of exposure, type of mercury, and route of exposure (inhalation, skin, etc.).50 However, since her father was a hatter who used mercury to prepare his hats, and since she assisted him, at least for a while, in his business, she was definitely at risk for exposure to the poison. While many of the symptoms Mrs. White experienced could have had multiple causes, the sheer number of commonalities between her symptoms and mercury poisoning symptoms would suggest she had at least a mild exposure to mercury. If this is the case, it is sad and unfortunate and Mrs. White is deserving of our deepest sympathy. Furthermore, this could, in part, explain some of the unusual physical symptoms and psycholgical behaviors exhibited by Mrs. White throughout her prophetic career. For much more on this concerning Ellen White please see the following link at www.nonsda.org/egw/egw110.shtml.

Arudhi JaKanyo - Daniel 8:14. "And he said unto me." That is, "Palmoni", the wonderful person, to whom the angel put the above question, gave the answer to it; not unto the angel that asked it, but unto Daniel that stood by; knowing that it was for his and his people's sake the question was asked, and therefore gave the answer to him, as follows: unto two thousand and three hundred days; or so many "mornings" and "evenings" F8; which shows that not so many years, as Jacchiades, and others, are meant; but natural days, consisting of twenty four hours, and which make six years, three months, and eighteen days; and reckoning from the fifteenth day of the month Cisleu, in the year 145 of the Selucidae, in which Antiochus set up the abomination of desolation upon the altar, in the Apocrypha: ``Now the five and twentieth day of the month they did sacrifice upon the idol altar, which was upon the altar of God.'' (1 Maccabees 1:59) to the victory obtained over Nicanor by Judas, on the thirteenth day of the month Adar, Anno 151, are just 2300 days; which day the Jews kept as an annual feast, in commemoration of that victory; and from that time enjoyed peace and rest from war F9: this way goes L'Empereur after Capellus; but others begin from the defection of the people from the pure religion by Menelaus, Anno 141; though Antiochus did not enter on his impieties till the following year; and, reckoning from the sixth day of the sixth month in that year, to the twenty fifth day of Cisleu in the year 148, when the Jews offered the daily sacrifice on the new altar of burnt offerings, in the Apocrypha: ``Now on the five and twentieth day of the ninth month, which is called the month Casleu, in the hundred forty and eighth year, they rose up betimes in the morning, 53 And offered sacrifice according to the law upon the new altar of burnt offerings, which they had made. '' (1 Maccabees 4:52) were just six years, three months, and eighteen days: and so it follows, and then shall the sanctuary be cleansed; as it was by Judas Maccabeus at the time above mentioned; when he purified the holy places, sanctified the courts, rebuilt the altar, renewed the vessels of the sanctuary, and put all in their proper places; in the Apocrypha: ``41 Then Judas appointed certain men to fight against those that were in the fortress, until he had cleansed the sanctuary. 42 So he chose priests of blameless conversation, such as had pleasure in the law: 43 Who cleansed the sanctuary, and bare out the defiled stones into an unclean place. 44 And when as they consulted what to do with the altar of burnt offerings, which was profaned; 45 They thought it best to pull it down, lest it should be a reproach to them, because the heathen had defiled it: wherefore they pulled it down, 46 And laid up the stones in the mountain of the temple in a convenient place, until there should come a prophet to shew what should be done with them. 47 Then they took whole stones according to the law, and built a new altar according to the former; 48 And made up the sanctuary, and the things that were within the temple, and hallowed the courts. 49 They made also new holy vessels, and into the temple they brought the candlestick, and the altar of burnt offerings, and of incense, and the table. 50 And upon the altar they burned incense, and the lamps that were upon the candlestick they lighted, that they might give light in the temple. 51 Furthermore they set the loaves upon the table, and spread out the veils, and finished all the works which they had begun to make.'' (1 Maccabees 4) Indeed, as Antiochus was a type of antichrist, and his persecution of that desolation made by antichrist in the church; these 2300 days may be considered as so many years, which will bring it down to the end of the sixth Millennium, or thereabout; when it may be hoped there will be a new face of things upon the sanctuary and church of God, and a cleansing of it from all corruption in doctrine, discipline, worship, and conversation.

“Calculation of the time was so simple and plain that even the children could understand it. From the date of the decree of the king of Persia, found in Ezra 7, which was given in 457 before Christ, the 2300 years of Daniel 8:14 must terminate with 1843.

Satan has absolutely NO role in our salvation. We do not become saved as a way of avoiding the Devil the best way we can. We are not looking for God as a way out of Satan’s influence but rather trusting Jesus to overcome the works of the devil on our behalf. Furthermore, we are not born with any internal desire for goodness. We are born dead in sin, and dead men have no ability to rise above their natures (Ephesians 2:1. "1As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins,"). God, the only Source of life, has to come to us and reveal Himself to us as He draws us to Himself (John 6:37, 39,39 -“No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them, and I will raise them up at the last day.").
The Adventist idea, however, promulgated to the worldwide organization for Sabbath School members all to study on the same day of the year in every Adventist congregation on earth, teaches that humans are saved by their own reaction against Satan! The Scapegoat Heresy!
The final insult in the Adventist “plan of salvation”, however, comes in their scenario of the end of their “investigative judgment”. They teach that when Jesus is finally finished investigating the lives of professed believers and determining which ones have confessed all their sins and have been loyal to God by keeping the law, Jesus will place the sins of the saved upon Satan who is the scapegoat of Leviticus 16. Satan will then bear the sins of the saved out of heaven, thus cleansing “the sanctuary”, and he will be punished for them in the lake of fire.
This teaching makes Satan, not Jesus, the final sin-bearer of the saved.
Adventists are quick to assert that Satan is not the sin-bearer, yet this idea comes directly from Ellen White:
"Since Satan is the originator of sin, the direct instigator of all the sins that caused the death of the Son of God, justice demands that Satan shall suffer the final punishment. Christ’s work for the redemption of men and the purification of the universe from sin, will be closed by the removal of sin from the heavenly sanctuary and the placing of these sins upon Satan, who will bear the final penalty" (Patriarchs and Prophets, p. 358).
"In the typical service the high priest, having made the atonement for Israel, came forth and blessed the congregation. So Christ, at the close of His work as mediator, will appear, “without sin unto salvation” (Heb. 9:28), to bless His waiting people with eternal life. As the priest, in removing the sins from the sanctuary, confessed them upon the head of the scapegoat, so Christ will place all these sins upon Satan, the originator and instigator of sin. The scapegoat, bearing the sins of Israel, was sent away “unto a land not inhabited” (Lev. 16:22); so Satan, bearing the guilt of all the sins which he has caused God’s people to commit, will be for a thousand years confined to the earth, which will then be desolate, without inhabitant, and he will at last suffer the full penalty of sin in the fires that shall destroy all the wicked" (The Great Controversy, pp. 485-486).
"Satan did not then exult as he had done. He had hoped to break up the plan of salvation; but it was laid too deep. And now by the death of Christ he knew that he himself must finally die, and his kingdom given to Jesus. He held a council with his angels. He had prevailed nothing against the Son of God, and now they must increase their efforts and with their powers and cunning turn to His followers. They must prevent all whom they could from receiving the salvation purchased for them by Jesus. By so doing Satan could still work against the government of God. Also it would be for his own interest to keep from Jesus as many as possible. For the sins of those who are redeemed by the blood of Christ will at last be rolled back upon the originator of sin, and he must bear their punishment, while those who do not accept salvation through Jesus will suffer the penalty of their own sins" (Early Writings p. 178).
Adventists will say that Jesus is represented by the sacrificial goat on the Day of Atonement, but that Satan is represented by the living goat sent into the wilderness. In truth, however, it required both goats to represent what the Lamb of God did for us. He not only shed His blood as a propitiation-a payment to satisfy the demands of God for sin-but He also bore the penalty of sinners who were sent out of the camp and removed from the fellowship of God’s people. The sacrificial goat represented propitiation; the scapegoat represented expiation-the consequence of sin on sinners: removal from the camp.
Hebrews 13:12, 13 emphasizes this fact:
Therefore Jesus also, that He might sanctify the people through His own blood, suffered outside the gate. So, let us go out to Him outside the camp, bearing His reproach.
Satan never, in any sense, bears our sins. Furthermore, our sins never defile heaven, as EGW's doctrine of “the sanctuary” maintains. Jesus’ blood never transfers our sins to heaven where they await being placed on Satan for removal to the lake of fire!
Blood always cleanses! Even in the Old Testament, the blood carried into the tabernacle on the Day of Atonement did not defile. It cleansed.
Jesus’ blood always cleanses, and it cleanses us from the moment the Father draws us to see what Jesus did as our Substitute, and we place our faith and trust entirely in Him alone. His crucifixion marked the fullness of atonement, and that atonement is complete. Jesus Himself declared that “It Is Finished!”
When we believe, we are born again and counted fully righteous with the righteousness of Christ alone on the basis of His propitiating blood! When we believe, we are born again and counted fully righteous with the righteousness of Christ alone on the basis of His propitiating blood!
In spite of its seductive external appearance, Adventism is a trap. It is a “clever and dangerous spiritual counterfeit” that draws people in with gospel-sounding words. Once inside, however, its members find themselves in a tightening web of confusion and guilt, anxiety and shame. They think they believe in Jesus, but their Jesus did not complete the atonement at the cross, and their Jesus is still fighting a battle with the devil.
Their Jesus is not the final Substitute for us in His death for sin and His enduring God’s wrath for our our sin. Rather, their Jesus requires Satan to help complete the eradication of sin. Their Jesus finally offloads our sin onto Satan who bears them into the Lake of Fire where he is punished for them!
In Adventism, Jesus is a noble victim, the volunteer who offered to die to demonstrate that Satan’s claims were false. Satan, conversely, resembles a tragic hero, the evil counterpart to Jesus who ultimately receives the final punishment because of his own fatal flaw: evil.
The real Jesus, however, is not a victim but our Substitute. He received the ultimate punishment for sin: God’s wrath poured out on Him as He hung between heaven and earth on the cross. Jesus alone rescues us from our death and gives us eternal life when we finally see what He has done and trust Him.
The real Jesus is Lord of Lords, and Satan is doomed and disarmed. In Jesus alone we have eternal life.
“Now judgment is upon this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out. And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to Myself” (John 12:31, 32).
Very well said.
Thats your big problem. You love the Adventist church and Ellen White more than the Lord Jesus and the Bible . You remind me of aa friend of mine in who is ELDER in SDA WHEN GIVING HIS IDENTITY HE would say I am and Seventh day Adventist first the A Barbadian and then his political party. we other Christians would tell him you should say a Christian first. Brainwashed
Im a born SDA and the older I become realise that denominations won't save you. Your personal relationship woth God and obedience to him will. I'm 31 going on 32 and I'm still very lost, but what I do know is, denominations are all wrong.
Wow! What ?
@@jayson4533Read the scriptures especially Old Testament. God will guide you to his son. Only Jesus can save. Not any church.
The best thing for all Christians to do is to read and know the bible for themselves. Have a personal relationship with Jesus and he will guide us to the truth we all look for.
You couldn't have said it any better, Avon Allen. 100% agree with you. The Bible is the SOLE authority (2 Timothy 3:16-17), not false prophets such as Ellen White, Joseph Smith, CT Russell, Mary Baker Eddy Muhammad etc.
Matthew 7:15 "Beware of false prophets"
Nuff said!!!🤷🏽♀️💯💯💯
Amen
Can't see how anyone could disagree with this
@Avon Allen Yes...Spot on...Read the bible, everyone...especially the new testament
So many people have a relationship with religion and not God.
agree
And that Ellen White bch made sure that remnants of millerite did just that.
Majority false teachings
That's how they mislead thinking religion and God r different
Right! Who are you praying to money, a drug, or God?
The tragedy is that almost every single denomination has former members, who then label it a false religion. Christianity in the Book Of Acts is the only true one, where no one claims to be superior to others and Christ alone is magnified. People should strictly study scripture for themselves and not base their belief on any particular denomination.
Amen
We have few true churches out there.
I couldn't agree more. People like to defend their denominations when should actually be defending the Scriptures.
Tell me where she lied in the Great Controversy book that she wrote over 100 years ago. Which part isn’t coming to pass right now now in your face.
Jessica Warr - Please start with this "ERRORS OF ‘THE GREAT CONTROVERSY’ (200 errors listed) By Russell Earl Kelly, PHD, author of "Exposing Seventh-day Adventism" at www.tithing-russkelly.com/sda/id11.html . Next, go to "Bible Contradictions, Plagiarism, Failed Visions of Ellen G. White" & click on the "Great Controversy" section at www.truthorfables.com/siteindex.htm . Next check out "Living in a Worldview of Deception - The Great Controversy" at lifeassuranceministries.org/proclamation/2011/2/greatcontroversy.html . Ellen G. White (EGW) had her famous two-hour "great controversy vision" in Lovett's Grove, Ohio, in mid-March, 1858. This vision is described in her book The Great Controversy Between Christ and Satan, and it describes Adventist reality like this:
Before time began, God the Father exalted Jesus to be equal to Himself.
When Adam and Eve sinned, the Father took Jesus into His inner council and allowed Him to become the sacrifice for sin.
God's exaltation of Jesus over Lucifer made Lucifer jealous.
Lucifer rebelled and turned one-third of heaven's angels against God.
He accused God of unfairness, of giving a law too difficult to keep, yet demanding obedience.
God banished Lucifer/Satan and his angels to earth.
Satan deceived Eve, thus causing humanity to sin.1
Ever since, Satan and Jesus have been battling each other for the souls of men.
God gave the written transcript of His character on Mt. Sinai so we would know how to live.
Jesus came with sinful flesh like Mary's to show us we can keep the law as He did.
Jesus' death vindicates and exalts God's law.
Ultimately God's people will become free of sin and prove God's law is fair and attainable.
When God's people perfectly reproduce the character of Christ, they will vindicate God's character, prove Satan to be a liar, and thus help Jesus win the conflict with Satan.2
Jesus will place all confessed sins on Satan who will carry them into the lake of fire where he, Satan, "will bear the final penalty" for them.3
Finally, God's people have the power to "hasten [their] Lord's return" by throwing themselves into carrying the Adventist message to the world and keeping the law perfectly.4
The mark demarcating the saved from the lost is the observance of the seventh-day Sabbath, while worshiping on Sunday is the mark of the beast.5

Jessica like you are reading with your eyes close.Why do you think they have to review thst book so often,it started off with over 700 pages today it's about 473 pages,what happen to the other pages.
One dont even have to point them out because they are all over and the fact is many of the things written are stolen from other authors.Jessica look at the date of the returned of Christ, who is our sin bearer? is not she said is satan,please run from that cult and run to JESUS THE CHRIST,REDEEMER AND SAVIOUR OF HUMANITY.
How about you just listen what the man in the video has to say first, before you get so defensive?
The MOB is not Sunday worship but an actual mark in the right hand or forehead. EGW has decieved you all that you're going to fall for the real mark and to worship the Antichrist
She denied the deity of Christ when Jesus refers to Himself as the Alpha and Omega, a title used exclusively for God Almighty.
I believe that God doesn’t judge us based on which church we attend whether you’re an Adventist or catholic or presbiterian idk, God gave us bible to guide us throughout this journey. And the bible itself says it all, you people i want you to know that SATAN IS POWERFUL AND THAT HE’S NOT A HUMAN. So dont just listen to what people even EGW says, listen to what God SAID... because it is all written, we just don’t want to open our eyes and ears yet Jesus is soon Coming
I pray that we all prepare for the second coming of JESUS and that we will all be able to see him coming and be with him eternally!.. AMEN
God Judge us by faith or not in Christ. Many denominations teach salvation by works.
I wish that was true but God did not come into the world the judge the world but to save the world however God has one church many branches in different location but one church with one lord one faith one baptism and one God and father of all but the main words you can look at is (One faith) it means we need to believe the same things walking in agrement not having many faiths but one so its wrong to think like that God doesnt work like that
Glad to see my Rwandan sister speak truth
True,
I'm definitely no SDA but in all fairness, there WERE no copyright/plagiarism laws back in EGW's day.
This in not correct. When did copyrights start? History and Education | U.S. Copyright Office May 31, 1790. On May 31, 1790, the first copyright law is enacted under the new United States Constitution. The new law is relatively limited in scope, protecting books, maps, and charts for only 14 years.

@@CAnswersTV Wow, thanks for that.
I got my info from an SDA - Walter Veith.

If any other angel Preach any other Gospel let him be a curse! The Bible has warmed us time & time again!
the religion Iglesia ni Cristo 1914 preaches another Gospel , they deny the deity of Christ and the trinity.
I left the SDA church months ago. Not just because I did some research on my own on the Bible or other sources, but mostly because deep down in my heart I knew there was something not right about this. I’ve always felt like ‘Is this really a church of Christ?’ And I always knew something was off about the teachings of Ellen G White.
When I finally realized ‘enough is enough’, I finally told my wife I no longer believe in the SDA church and belief that Ellen G White is a false prophet and a liar, she didn’t took it that well as she’s a very devoted SDA member.
But after a long argument, she accepted my decision of leaving the SDA church.
Though I am unsure if our marriage holds as it hasn’t been going well for years and strongly states she wants to leave me, I know God will always be there for me even in the most difficult times.
Thanks for your comment. Your situation reminds me of my own religious controversy early in my marriage with my wife in 1981. I wasn't dealing with false Seventh-day Adventism back then with my wife but with another false religion called Roman Catholicism. Here's my video on how things turned out with my wife who was Roman Catholic at that time - "I Married a Born & Raised Roman Catholic Before I Became a Supernaturally Born Again Bible Christian" at th-cam.com/video/nazRHqhHheY/w-d-xo.html . What's funny about all this in a sad sort of way is Seventh-day Adventists are always accusing me & my TH-cam channel of being Roman Catholics because we are always exposing the SDA as being a false prophet organization. They like to say we are Jesuits doing the devil's work but they fail to realize we are not Romanists at all but instead have produced 295 videos over the last 34 years exposing Roman Catholicism as a counterfeit religion on our playlist called "Dealing With Roman Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, Idolatry & the Virgin Mary" at

Bonjour ,
Je vis la même chose à peu près,
Ayant décidé de quitter l'église adventiste pour cause théologique , le jugement investigatif qui je trouve est une ignominie envers les êtres humains , sans parler de l'idolâtrie de EGW ainsi que le sabbat forcé comme condition au salut ....
Cela fait un an que je fréquente une église adventiste , au début cela allait car étant né de nouveau je portais le feu en moi et cela nourrissait littéralement l'église , au fil des mois et après avoir été bien pressé par mon église locale j'ai constaté la froideur de cette église et la dureté de leur foi .
Quand j'ai compris que Jésus aimait le monde et les pêcheurs et qu'il sauve tout les jours des âmes dans le secret , ça m'a libéré des chaînes de la religion et apporté la paix .
Malheureusement la femme que j'aime et avec qui je voulait me marier à mis ses croyances comme non négociable au point de ne pouvoir partager sa vie avec un non adventiste ,
Au moins je constate que notre relation n'était pas basée sur l'amour mais sur l'obéissance à un système de croyance .
If they do not surrender the heart and life to Jesus, they would not understand scriptures.
It is obvious that SDA followers do not understand the scriptures since they follow a false prophetess (Matthew 7:15) & have a false gospel by adding works & mandatory sabbath keeping to the gospel which are damnable heresies (Galatians 1:6-9). They are religionists without the Holy Spirit of God trying to get to heaven in their own way instead of the Biblical way which proves your comment correct in 1 Corinthians 2:14, "But a natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned." SDA people need to be "born again" by the Holy Spirit & only then will they understand the scriptures correctly (John 3:3-8).
The church it self cannot do that only the people as an individual can do that
People who are lost can slowly or quickly understand the scriptures..some take weeks & some take years..but afterbthey get the message & clearly understand it..then they can make their decision to become a born again Christian..if they want to...some people have to be talked into it..that is ok, too.
God blesses those who seek the truth!
This is Why We Must Spend More Time with Our Lord Yeshua Jesus in Prayer and Reading His Word to Know Him Even More!
Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
Matthew 7:15 (KJV)
Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
Matthew 7:20 (KJV)
Exactly..Theyre now out of the closet trying to put in ambivalence situation. The only thing that we can do is pray more. Make out faith stands against over damnation.
He/she who remains and stay his/her belief will be saved. Amen.
The internet has brought to light of a lot of dirt the Adventist hierarchy and White Estate have covered up during the pre-internet era.
Over the past 25 years or so since the internet and information about Ellen White's fraud started to appear on the World Wide Web, secrets that were only known to about 1% of the Adventist membership are now out in the open for all to see (as well as the lame excuses from Adventists themselves)
the founder of Iglesia ni Cristo 1914 felix Manalo claims he was an angel or messenger sent by God, this religion denies the deity of Christ and the trinity.
Are you form filipines? God bless
Lets all not to look at someone apart from Jesus Christ.
But look only at Jesus the author and finisher of our faith
Be the sermon by the Will of God.
I believe with the grace of God, that Ellen G. White is the prophet of His church in the last days, i am one of the readers of her books, so far, i have not read even a single word that is against the Word of GOD.
JamesCardo - Seventh-day Adventism is a religious cult of a demon possessed woman because she claimed a person could not make it through the 1844 investigative judgment of Christ (see our video "Cult Doctrine of Seventh-day Adventism: 1844 Probation & Satan As A Final Sin Bearer for Adventists" at th-cam.com/video/J50HlZFYHtY/w-d-xo.html) without keeping the Sabbath. By making Sabbath Keeping a requirement for salvation the Seventh-day Adventists commit the same type of damnable heresy as the Judaizers did in Galatians 1:6-9 who only required circumcision. Ellen G. White required a lot more things to achieve salvation for her deluded investigative probation judgment (including the "Reform Dress" for women) & many other things than the Judaizers, who were damned by the apostle Paul, ever dreamed of. Ellen G. White makes the Judaizers look like antinomians! Of course both groups are destined for hell in the end. Besides all this Seventh-day Adventists as well as the Black Hebrew Israelites (see our video "Myths of the Black Hebrew Israelites: Theological Racism, Black King James Only, Apocrypha, Whites" at th-cam.com/video/9TiqBceXoH8/w-d-xo.html) & others do not keep the Sabbath the way the Old Testament says to keep the Sabbath thus they are self deluded hypocrites to say the least.

HOW TO KEEP THE SABBATH
What Is required in keeping the Sabbath according to Mosaic Law:
1. No work done at all (Ex. 20: 10; Lev. 23: 3; Jer. 17:21-22). No watering the lawn, no working in the yard, no hobbies, no surfing, no fixing flat tires, etc. By law if a person did not stop all types of activity in honor of the Sabbath, he was breaking the law. In Numbers 15:32-36 a man was caught collecting sticks on the Sabbath, and he received a rock concert from the people he knew.
2 No kindling of a fire (Ex. 35:3). No fellowship cookouts or barbecues. You can't go into a restaurant and get a hamburger that's been flame broiled, you can't cook eggs, or pancakes in the morning because you'd be kindling a fire for cooking. To drive a car would be to "kindle a fire" In the combustion chamber of your engine.
3. No traveling (Ex. 16:29). Later the Jews added to this law, allowing only a half mile of travel on the Sabbath which we see observed in the NT. But the pure law says "stay at home." Actually, If you kept this part of the law, you could not travel to your church gathering unless it was less than one-quarter mile away from home. If you had an emergency you could not drive to the hospital.
4. No trading (Amos 8:5). If you happened to need gas to get to church service, you could not "trade" money for gasoline. You would not be allowed to buy a cassette tape of that morning's message or a book at the store. There is to be No exchanging of money for goods. If you worked with stocks and you needed to sell you couldn’t.
5. No marketing (Neh. 10:31; 13:15,19). Make sure you do no shopping whatsoever. You can't buy any ice cream for dessert after dinner or anything else. If you run out of food or drink at home you can’t go out to purchase any, you can’t even by a stick of gum.
6."... a holy assembly with double the daily offering along with the other offerings. In other words, you are to give twice as much on the Sabbath (Num. 28:9).Do we practiced this today In compliance with Old Testament law. Do Sabbatarian's really practice the law? I have yet to see people go to Shabbat and give twice as much each week.
7. New showbread In the holy place (Lev. 24:8). Of course this cannot be done today since there is no temple, so this part of the Sabbath cannot be followed by the church. The fact Is the Sabbath was not made for the gentiles, but for the Jews and their generations Ex. 31:12-17). It's a law given between God and the Jews.
8.The last part of the requirements for keeping the Sabbath day law Is the penalty for breaking It. DEATH

@CAnswersTV christ was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world did not know him. Luke 14:5 Then he asked them, “If one of you has a child or an ox that falls into a well on the Sabbath day, will you not immediately pull it out?”
I believe that it is an error to exalt any believers writings over the scriptures. We must commit ourselves to exalting the word of God by studying it , to show ourselves approved to God. No denomination has perfect doctrine or practices this side of heaven. Fear God and give Glory to Him
You guys should all get Born again and believe in Jesus Christ your salvation and leave all traditions, yield to grace that's only in Jesus Christ.

Chalk Key - Very good advice to the uninformed. Unfortunately most people are under religious delusions & therefore don't do the research as you are recommending thus such people are under the curse found in 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12 which says, " Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness."
Some of the best research against Seventh-day Adventism comes from former SDA members who have been on both sides of this 19th century new religion begun by Ellen White & her associates after having done much study either way thus they are the best informed. For more on that see the following websites by former SDA members such as: www.lifeassuranceministries.org/ , www.formeradventist.com/ , www.exadventist.com/ , www.sabbathinchrist.com/ , & www.truthorfables.com/ .

The following is an example of an exchange I had with a SDA member - Someone on TH-cam commented, "I am still an SDA but my faith is not in SDA lies doctrines, I am more of Jesus as my personal Sabbath Rest not the teaching of EGW."
My answer to this comment - "If you are still in the SDA religious cult created in the 1800s then you must believe in the SDA Jesus or else why be in the SDA religion at all, right? The SDA Jesus is not the same Jesus as the Biblical Jesus. Since you claim to be a Seventh-day Adventist then your SDA Jesus is not the final sin bearer for sinners but Satan is, see www.truthorfables.com/Scapegoat.htm & our video "Cult Doctrine of Seventh-day Adventism: 1844 Probation & Satan As A Final Sin Bearer for Adventists" at th-cam.com/video/J50HlZFYHtY/w-d-xo.html . Thus you have a phony Jesus who gives the glory for sin bearing to the Devil rather than being the sin bearer himself - what a blasphemy for which you & your SDA religion are guilty!
Your SDA Jesus is confused as to who he is. SDAs mistakingly confuse Jesus with the archangel Michael - see www.truthorfables.com/Is_Michael_Christ.htm . Many cults and "isms" hold to the mistaken view that Jesus in the Old Testament is Michael the Archangel, especially the Seventh-day Adventists and the Jehovah's Witnesses. Jehovah's Witnesses must hold this view of Jesus in order to justify their Arian view of the Trinity and justify their disbelief in Jesus as eternal deity and creator of all things. All early Adventists and many, if not most even today, hold to the doctrine that Jesus is the Archangel Michael in the Old Testament. Ellen G. White, the founder of Adventism, was more than a little confused about her view of the nature of the Lord Jesus. She was clearly and deliberately confused, vague, and contradictory about her stance on Jesus as being the uncreated creator of all things. It is without dispute that she taught that Michael the Archangel was indeed the pre-incarnate Christ, and that "God raised him to equality with Himself." There seems to be general denial of her views among most, if not all faithful Adventists who consider themselves Trinitarian, but most, if not all, still see Jesus as the Archangel Michael. Some would say that this is simply a role Jesus played in the Old Testament, even though He was not a created angel. The Biblical evidence is to the contrary on both counts. Still in their current claim to be thoroughly orthodox in their view of the Trinity, some SDAs are still not clear and their view is more of that of a "Heavenly Trio" in contrast to the traditional orthodox Biblical view.
In addition to the Lord Jesus never being identified by any of the authors of Scripture as Michael the Archangel, he is never seen as anyone but a ranking servant and messenger among the created servants of God. When individuals met the Angel of the Lord, they were well aware they had encountered God - Genesis 16:7-12; 21:17-18; 22:11-18; Exodus 3:2; Judges 2:1-4; 5:23; 6:11-24; 13:3-22; 2 Samuel 24:16; Zechariah 1:12; 3:1; 12:8 (see the video "Biblical Doctrine of Good & Evil Angels/Finding Jesus Foretold Throughout the Old Testament" at th-cam.com/video/M_nGtBfrHG8/w-d-xo.html ). Never did a meeting with any of the angels result in such a reaction. Never did anyone ever ascribe deity at any level when meeting Michael the Archangel. For more Biblical information see the video "Is Jesus God Almighty in the Flesh Meaning the Second Person of the Trinity or Is He Something Else?" at th-cam.com/video/_BlPm7M7uv8/w-d-xo.html .
The "Jesus" you believe in is a false "Jesus" & that is why I took the time to show some things above about your SDA "Jesus" to thus prove that even your premise of using "Jesus" in your comment is faulty. Even you admit that the SDA is "lies" yet you stay in a false religion, why?? Please see the following link called "Why remain a Seventh-day Adventist" at www.truthorfables.com/Why_Remain_SDA.htm .

With all due respect to your view, but what I said at first is still unchangeable. Because there is always more than one side to a coin, everyone needs to study for themself.

Every student must study without any bias.
We cannot be fully nourished by what others regurgitate, we must eat for ourselves. 🍞
@@chalkkey433 - The problem with your analysis is that you are forgetting what the Bible teaches about the state of a person who has not been regenerated by the Holy Spirit of God. Thus your statement "Every student must study without any bias." is totally false from the Biblical perspective. Everyone approaches any subject with a "bias" already there. There is a reason Jesus said "You must be born again." in John 3:3-8. Spiritual rebirth refers to the new life a person finds when he or she becomes a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ. This concept is also referred to as “salvation,” “regeneration,” or being “born again.” It is obvious that you have not understood this matter based on your comment here. The reason anyone living who has not been supernaturally born again cannot understand the things of God is because the Bible clearly states that's the case in 1 Corinthians 2:14, "The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned."
The point made in this verse is crucial in our understanding of spiritualty, and how to interact with the non-believing world. In short, non-believers cannot be expected to think, or to act, like believers. The problem is not intellectual or moral; reason and evidence point towards God (Psalm 19:1; Romans 1:18-23). The key difference is spiritual: those who are not guided by the Holy Spirit, thanks to faith in Christ, simply lack a godly spiritual perspective.
The only way to be believe the truths of God, including His plan for salvation through faith in Christ, is for God to communicate those truths through His Holy Spirit. Paul's work is to help people who have been given that spiritual ability to believe to understand what it means, but he knows that he cannot make anyone believe it. Intellectual knowledge and human reason cannot produce faith-at best, they can only impart facts (James 2:19).
Now Paul shows the negative. Those without God's Spirit cannot possibly "get it." God's truths must be understood and believed on a spiritual level. Those without God's Spirit don't have that level, Paul insists. Like a radio, television, or microphone tuned to the wrong signal, they are literally incapable of receiving that message.
So the natural person rejects as foolish anything that comes from the Spirit of God. Those who have only their human senses and human reason will never be able to comprehend the spiritual truths of God's revelation about sin, salvation, and Christ to His people. It's unreasonable to expect non-believers to process spiritual issues in the same way as believers. It's impossible to expect them to have the "mind of Christ" (1 Corinthians 2:16) when they don't have the Spirit of God.
Before spiritual rebirth, all humans are slaves to sin (John 8:34) and spiritually dead in their trespasses (Colossians 2:13). When Adam and Eve disobeyed God in the Garden of Eden, they brought sin and death into the world. Every one of their descendants is cursed with a sin nature-a desire to live contrary to God’s will. As we are all descendants of Adam and Eve, we all live under the same curse (Romans 3:23) and deserve death as punishment (6:23). To save us from the curse, Christ Jesus came from heaven to live on earth as the perfect God-man and die a painful death on a cross, taking upon Himself the punishment we all deserve. He then conquered death by rising from the grave three days later. After His ascension back to heaven, Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to live in all who put their faith in Him. The entrance of the Holy Spirit into a soul is what brings about the spiritual rebirth of that person.
When the Pharisee Nicodemus visited Jesus one night, Jesus informed him that, in order to see the kingdom of God, he must be born again (John 3:3). This was a concept that Nicodemus was unable to grasp, to Jesus’ surprise. Jesus explained further: “Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit. You should not be surprised at my saying, ‘You must be born again.’ . . . Do you not understand these things? . . . For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:6-7, 10, 16). In saying that Nicodemus must be born again, Jesus was telling him that he must go through spiritual rebirth-he must start a new life in the Spirit-before he could enter God’s kingdom.
Jesus is the only way to forgiveness for sin and spiritual rebirth (John 14:6; Acts 4:12). When we put our faith and trust in Jesus Christ, His sacrificial death, and His resurrection, we pass from death to life; our sins are forgiven, and we are spiritually reborn. We are no longer slaves to sin (Romans 6:18). At the moment of salvation, the Holy Spirit enters the believer, and “the Spirit gives life” (John 6:63). The Spirit remains in us as a deposit guaranteeing our salvation (Ephesians 1:13-14) and as a guide for the new life of spiritual rebirth (John 16:13; Romans 8:14; Galatians 5:25). “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” (2 Corinthians 5:17).

That's the very problem with SDAs. They take that woman's words as Gospel but when you tell them that the Bible says that you can speak in an unknown tongue to God ( 1 Corinthians 14:1-25 ) they will stone you for it (emphasis mine). Let that tell you what you need to know.

You never hear Adventist pastors talk about the Feast of Dedication (a.k.a Hanukkah) in John 10:22-23, what it means and its origins, because there's a clear connection between Daniel 8:14 and that passage in John 10:22-23.
If Jesus was there at Solomon's Temple to celebrate Hanukkah (circa 30-33AD when John 10:22-23 took place) and Hanukkah was instituted after Judas Maccabeus cleansed and restored the temple in 165BC after the defilement by Antiochus IV Epiphanes (fufilling the prophecy in Daniel 8:14 that the sanctuary would be cleansed after Antiochus LITERAL 2300 day reign of defiling the temple ended), why would Jesus need to go back to heaven and cleanse a "sanctuary" in 1844 that had already been cleansed more than 2000 years earlier?
Every year in December, when you see Jews around the world celebrate Hannukah, they disprove SDA's 1844 Sanctuary nonsense as applying to an imaginary event in heaven that never took place.
Adventism's foundation doctrine and Ellen White's prophetic influence is completely destroyed once you understand the connection between the real meaning of Daniel 8:14 and John 10:22-23. Imaging basing your church on a prophecy that is......wait for it......2008 YEARS OFF (165BC vs 1844AD)? What a joke!
Am still an SDA but my faith is not in SDA lies doctrines
I am more of Jesus as my personal Sabbath Rest not the teaching of EGW
Then why still have a part of this false organization?
@ Rass B. I totally understand. Some tend to choose the church that is closest to their beliefs. If we believed all the doctrines of a church, we would be following blindly. God gave brains to think for ourselves, so we have the right to question/disagree with things that are not straightforward for us. At the same time, we dont wish to forsake the congregation, so we keep attending. We dont leave the company that pays us just because we disagree with their rules, cause it will be the same in another organization, but most times we stay because we need to be paid.
Rass B - If you are still in the SDA cult then you must believe in the SDA Jesus or else why be in the SDA religion at all, right? The SDA Jesus is not the same Jesus as the Bible Jesus. Since you claim to be a Seventh-day Adventist then your SDA Jesus is not the final sin bearer for sinners but Satan is, see www.truthorfables.com/Scapegoat.htm & our video "Cult Doctrine of Seventh-day Adventism: 1844 Probation & Satan As A Final Sin Bearer for Adventists" at th-cam.com/video/J50HlZFYHtY/w-d-xo.html. Thus you have a phony Jesus who gives the glory for sin bearing to the Devil rather than being the sin bearer himself - what a blasphemy for which you are guilty!
Your SDA Jesus is confused as to who he is. SDAs mistakingly confuse Jesus with the archangel Michael - see www.truthorfables.com/Is_Michael_Christ.htm . Many cults and "isms" hold to the mistaken view that Jesus in the Old Testament is Michael the Archangel, especially the Seventh-day Adventists and the Jehovah's Witnesses. Jehovah's Witnesses must hold this view of Jesus in order to justify their Arian view of the Trinity and justify their disbelief in Jesus as eternal deity and creator of all things. All early Adventists and many, if not most even today, hold to the doctrine that Jesus is the Archangel Michael in the Old Testament. Ellen G. White, the founder of Adventism, was more than a little confused about her view of the nature of the Lord Jesus. She was clearly and deliberately confused, vague, and contradictory about her stance on Jesus as being the uncreated creator of all things. It is without dispute that she taught that Michael the Archangel was indeed the pre-incarnate Christ, and that "God raised him to equality with Himself." There seems to be general denial of her views among most, if not all faithful Adventists who consider themselves Trinitarian, but most, if not all, still see Jesus as the Archangel Michael. Some would say that this is simply a role Jesus played in the Old Testament, even though He was not a created angel. The Biblical evidence is to the contrary on both counts. Still in their current claim to be thoroughly orthodox in their view of the Trinity, some SDAs are still not clear and their view is more of that of a "Heavenly Trio" in contrast to the traditional orthodox Biblical view.
In addition to The Lord Jesus never being identified by any of the authors of Scripture as Michael the Archangel, he is never seen as anyone but a ranking servant and messenger among the created servants of God. When individuals met the Angel of the Lord, they were well aware they had encountered God - Genesis 16:7-12; 21:17-18; 22:11-18; Exodus 3:2; Judges 2:1-4; 5:23; 6:11-24; 13:3-22; 2 Samuel 24:16; Zechariah 1:12; 3:1; 12:8 (see the video "Biblical Doctrine of Good & Evil Angels/Finding Jesus Foretold Throughout the Old Testament" at th-cam.com/video/M_nGtBfrHG8/w-d-xo.html ). Never did a meeting with any of the angels result in such a reaction. Never did anyone ever ascribe deity at any level when meeting Michael the Archangel. For more Biblical information see the video "Is Jesus God Almighty in the Flesh Meaning the Second Person of the Trinity or Is He Something Else?" at th-cam.com/video/_BlPm7M7uv8/w-d-xo.html .

Linda Womack - Excellent advice. The problem you have here is 2 Corinthians 11:4, "For if someone comes and proclaims another Jesus than the one we proclaimed, or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received, or if you accept a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it readily enough." Satan runs throughout the world promoting fake versions of Jesus & fake gospels so people will be deceived & end up in hell for eternity (see our playlist on hell called "Dealing with Hell, Lake of Fire, Unpopular Bible Doctrines" with 61 videos at th-cam.com/play/PLE04A1D0DFE95B95E.html ) so you have to make sure it's the true Bible version of Jesus & the gospel that is being promoted (for more on that see our video called "IS JESUS GOD ALMIGHTY IN THE FLESH MEANING THE SECOND PERSON OF THE TRINITY OR IS HE SOMETHING ELSE?" at th-cam.com/video/_BlPm7M7uv8/w-d-xo.html ).

Here's a few examples of the Devil's fake versions of Jesus:
*Seventh-day Adventists say Jesus is not the final sin bearer for sinners but Satan is, see www.truthorfables.com/Scapegoat.htm & our video "Cult Doctrine of Seventh-day Adventism: 1844 Probation & Satan As A Final Sin Bearer for Adventists" at th-cam.com/video/J50HlZFYHtY/w-d-xo.html .

See also our playlist "Dealing with Seventh-day Adventism & Their "Prophetess" with 55 videos at th-cam.com/play/PL5316CC6F66F24283.html ).
*Roman Catholics say Jesus becomes a piece of bread during the Roman mass & thus should be worshiped in the form of bread as Jesus; that Jesus is stern & austere thus it is better to pray to Mary & other saints to get better results (see our playlist "Dealing with Roman Catholicism, Idolatry & the Virgin Mary" with 219 videos at th-cam.com/play/PLFFA8D69D1B914715.html ).
*Jehovah's Witnesses say Jesus is not God in the flesh but was created as the Archangel Michael (see our playlist "Dealing with Jehovah's Witnesses, Watchtower Society" with 56 videos at th-cam.com/play/PLCF0ADB29C0EB8C40.html ).
*Mormons say Jesus is one of millions of gods & was created by sex between the god Elohim & Mary (see our playlist "Dealing with Mormonism, The Con Man Religion of Joseph Smith, Jr. with 51 videos at th-cam.com/play/PL11CD0EE613306BB5.html ).
*Muslims say Jesus is a prophet but certainly not God in the flesh or the Son of God & that Jesus was never crucified (see our playlist "Dealing with Islam, Muslims: Sunni, Shi'ite, Alawites, Sufis" with 98 videos at th-cam.com/play/PL1C7F68B548009FDD.html ).
*Jews say Jesus is not the Messiah, was a false prophet & blasphemer, is now in hell & was the bastard son of Mary & a Roman soldier (see our video "Babylonian Talmud is a Jewish Law & Oral Tradition Book of over 10 million Words Across 38 Volumes" at th-cam.com/video/ZtvgDGUwmYs/w-d-xo.html ).
*Christian Scientists say Jesus was not the Christ or God but just a man (an idea that Mary had) who displayed the Christ idea or principle of living (see our video "NEW AGE HEALING CULT OF MARY BAKER EDDY: "CHRISTIAN SCIENCE" - NEITHER CHRISTIAN NOR SCIENTIFIC" at th-cam.com/video/H7bsJy649L8/w-d-xo.html ).
*Moonies say Jesus was a failure & got crucified before he could complete his mission of getting married to a woman therefore Rev. Sun Myung Moon had to come out of Korea & complete Jesus' mission on earth (see our various videos on Moon's religion beginning with our video "Moonstruck: Rev. Moon's "Church" #1: History & Teachings of Moon's Cult" at th-cam.com/video/mr73BZJd0Hg/w-d-xo.html ).
*Hindus say Jesus was a guru & an incarnation of a Hindu god Vishnu & Jesus does not atone for sins among the 300 million other gods (see our videos on Hinduism on our playlist "Dealing with AntiChrist Cults, "New Age" & World Religions with 84 videos at th-cam.com/play/PL69A3047B3497590A.html ). See also our website on Hinduism at www.biblequery.org/OtherBeliefs/Hinduism/Hinduism.html .
*Atheists say Jesus never existed and is simply a fairy tale for the gullible (see our playlist "Dealing with "God Hating" Atheists, Agnostics, Know-It-Alls" with 44 videos at th-cam.com/play/PL640E505B96CD6B39.html ).
*Liberal Theologians say the Bible can't be trusted & is full of myths & fables thus the Jesus presented in it can't be trusted as true (see our videos "WOLVES IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING - LIBERAL CHRISTIANITY #1: DENOMINATIONAL FALSE PROPHETS - ACTS 20:28-31" at th-cam.com/video/iNSCQF65aeA/w-d-xo.html & "WOLVES IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING - LIBERAL CHRISTIANITY #2: NEO-ORTHODOXY - GOSPEL REDEFINITION" at th-cam.com/video/qdg8EJrqUuc/w-d-xo.html .
*People who believe in Darwin's Theory of Evolution say the earth is billions of years old , the universe resulted from a "Big Bang" based on random chance & thus no god or Jesus is necessarily needed. These people assume scientism is true rather than the Bible without answering basic questions like: 1. Where did the basic matter of the universe originate? 2. How did life begin? 3. Where are all the supposed transitional fossils between Preambrian & Cambrian Periods? 4. From where did the dinosaur come?

Naturally, if you have the wrong Jesus this will result in damning your soul to hell while at the same time the false Jesus will also feed you a false gospel. Galatians 1:6-9, "6 I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel- 7 not that there is another one, but there are some who trouble you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed. 9 As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed."
There is a cosmic war currently going on between the God of the Bible & Satan so always remember the following, 2 Corinthians 11:13-15, " 13 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. 14 No wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. 15 Therefore it is not surprising if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their deeds." & 1 Peter 5:8, "Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour."
Hopefully now, John 14:6. "6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the away, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." has much greater significance to you.
The Bible tells us a great deal about Jesus. Following is a list of some of what Scripture teaches about Him.
He is prayed to, Acts 7:55-60; 1 Cor. 1:2 with Psalm 116:4; John 14:14

@@CAnswersTV I understand what you are saying, but I think there is a BIG difference between following another religion/gospel (such as being Muslim or other religions) where you believe in Jesus’ existence but don’t accept him as Lord and Savior and son of God. I think most Christians truly are believing in and accepting the Jesus of the Bible. He also knows our hearts and whether it is him we seek vs some false idol or false god. I cannot for a second believe that anyone who truly accepts Jesus and believes in him as the son of God and he who died on the cross and was resurrected would be doomed to hell just because they are of a different denomination (Presbyterian, Baptist, etc.) and may interpret certain versus different.

Contrary to the apostles, who had broad ministries, these men had localized ministries within local churches, as we see illustrated in such places as Acts 11:21-28 and Acts 13:1.Scripture shows us that the prophets of the New Testament had two primary purposes:They were gifted men given to the Church and appointed by God (Eph. 4:11, 1 Cor. 12:28) for the purpose of helping to lay the foundation of the Church (Eph. 2:20). They, like the apostles, received God’s revelation (Eph. 3:5) and truth and proclaimed it to their churches. It is important to remember that the early Church did not have a completed Bible, so God granted this revelation for the purpose of teaching His message to the Church. The New Testament prophets also spoke forth and taught the apostles’ doctrine. Everything taught by these prophets had to be consistent with the teaching of the apostles (1 Cor. 14:36-37).
So, are prophets still needed today? Looking at the two functions listed above, we can see that the office of prophet is one that is no longer necessary and has ceased within the Church because:The foundation of the Church was laid long ago. God’s revealed Word was completed with the close of the New Testament canon. The Church’s foundation does not need to be laid again and there is no need for further revelation beyond what God has provided for us in His complete Word, the Bible. Today we are blessed to have Scripture as our complete and final authority in all things (2 Tim. 3:16-17). If someone now claims to have received a “special revelation,” we must test it against Scripture. If it is contrary to the Word of God, then it must be rejected. If it is consistent with Scripture, then we have to ask why an “extra” word was necessary if its truth is already contained in the Bible. So while we always need men who are willing to proclaim boldly the Word of God as contained in Scripture (as pastors, teachers, and evangelists), there is no need for the office of “prophet” as it existed in the New Testament.
3. Ellen G. White is a false prophet due to her false & failed prophecies (Deuteronomy 18:19-22); see www.mmoutreachinc.com/seventh_day_adventists/egw_false_prophet.html, 1timothy4-13.com/files/bible/sda_morefailed.html & www.bible.ca/7-prophecy-blunders.htm.
4. Ellen G. White had delusional dreams & visions much like phony Charismatic & Pentecostal TV preachers do today; see www.truthorfables.com/Visons_of_%20EGW_by_Snook_&_Brinkerhoff.htm & th-cam.com/video/Kbv7YsyMf0I/w-d-xo.html.
5. Seventh Day Adventism has a damnable false gospel (Galatians 1:6-10) for several reasons: a) Satan is the final sin bearer for Seventh Day Adventists; see www.truthorfables.com/Scapegoat.htm & www.truthorfables.net/50-contradictions-satan-bears-sins.htm, b) They say Jesus had a sinful nature just like fallen man otherwise He can't be a Savior; see kentbrandenburg.blogspot.com/2011/09/seventh-day-adventisms-anti.html & jesus-is-savior.com/False%20Religions/Seventh-Day%20Adventist/sda_exposed.htm, c) Ellen G. White taught the cult doctrine of the 1844 investigative judgment of Jesus in the heavenly sanctuary for the purpose of allowing Seventh Day Adventists final access to heaven while all others would be destroyed; see www.truthorfables.com/investigative_judgment_made_simple.htm, www.truthorfables.com/white_elephant.htm, www.truthorfables.com/My_Testimony.htm, www.truthorfables.com/SDA_Cult.htm & th-cam.com/video/J50HlZFYHtY/w-d-xo.html, d) Seventh Day Adventism denies the New Testament Christian gospel by saying Old Testament "Saturday" Sabbath keeping is essential for salvation; see www.truthorfables.com/Sabbath_Not_A_Law.htm, www.truthorfables.net/who-changed-the-sabbath-a.htm, www.truthorfables.com/Sabbath_is_Friday.htm & th-cam.com/video/w0L3rSSL_H8/w-d-xo.html, e) Although SDAs say they believe in salvation by grace they redefine the meaning of grace in order to incorporate into their religious system a salvation by law keeping to achieve final works righteousness; mmoutreachinc.com/seventh_day_adventists/sda_law.html, searchingthescriptures.net/main_pages/answering_cults/seventh_day_adventism/sda_a_cult.htm & th-cam.com/video/aIh3T31ujuU/w-d-xo.html. If the apostle Paul cursed the Galatian Judaizers to hell for adding only one stipulation to the gospel which was circumcision then how much more would he curse the SDAs for all their added terms & conditions to the simple gospel of grace (Ephesians 2:8-9, "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast." Cross reference this to Galatians 2:16, "Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.").
6. Seven Day Adventists teach the false doctrine of soul sleep; see carm.org/soul-sleep, www.sermonaudio.com/sermoninfo.asp?SID=12151314134510, www.sermonaudio.com/sermoninfo.asp?SID=85122122530 & www.casagrandebaptistchurch.com/SoulSleep.html.
7. SDAs teach the false doctrine of the annihilation out of existence of the wicked including Satan & his demons rather than an eternal conscious punishment in a never ending lake of fire; carm.org/clear-word-bible-annihilationism, "Eternal Punishment, part 1" at www.sermonaudio.com/sermoninfo.asp?SID=12607145320 & "Eternal Punishment, part 2" at www.sermonaudio.com/sermoninfo.asp?sid=12607143539 where at the same time this refutes the arguments of universalists, annihilationists & heretics who say God is "all loving" & would not torment the wicked forever while they ignore the fact that God hates the wicked (Psalm 5:4-6, 11:5, Hosea 9:15, etc.; see our video "The God of the Bible Does Not Love Everybody But Actually Hates Many Instead (Romans 9:22)" at th-cam.com/video/0zHEJCHgQVg/w-d-xo.html, www.sermonaudio.com/sermoninfo.asp?SID=91713193277, www.jashow.org/wiki/index.php?title=Annihilationism, www.sermonaudio.com/sermoninfo.asp?SID=94081054442, www.sermonaudio.com/sermoninfo.asp?SID=9110884114, www.sermonaudio.com/sermoninfo.asp?SID=219131311338, th-cam.com/video/_O-LMpP6bAg/w-d-xo.html & see our playlist "Dealing with Hell, Lake of Fire, Unpopular Bible Doctrines" with 30 videos at th-cam.com/play/PLE04A1D0DFE95B95E.html.
8. SDAs support alternate Bible translations that pervert the written word of God thus placing themselves under the curse of Revelation 22:18-19, "For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: 19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book."

Titus 1:9-16
THE MORE IMPORTANT IS THE RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD DAILY AND DO HIS WILL
*REPENT OF YOUR SINS
*PRAY
*READ THE BIBLE EVERY DAY AND MEMORIZE HIS WORD
*BE BAPTIZED IN THE DEATH OF CHRIST
*OBEY THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
*WORSHIP THE LORD EVERY DAY
*SHARE THE GOSPEL WITH OTHERS
Repent and trust in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. That is the gospel.
It's not about being righteous; its about being true to yourself. It's about evolving within the Love of God, and at the same time allowing yourself to acknowledge, that there will always be those times when you could have thought and done things better.
Attempting to attain righteousness through law, which is what the history of Israel is about, is futility. Law is a standard which none under it can ever perfectly attain, consciously or unconsciously. (We all break the speed limit, knowingly or unknowingly.)
Following a standard of good and bad doesn't make you feel good, it makes you feel bad. This is because it always reveals your shortcomings. This is also why for those under the Law of Moses it resulted in a defiled consience and condemnation. And there was never any escape.
It's when you're set free from trying to attain anything and are being your true self as one who is moved (as I believe we all are) from the persuasion and ethic of Love, that you mature and reveal "righteousness".
And I also believe that if the siblings in a family have respect on each others belief their father would be grateful.
I'm just trying to find a biblical church😢
@Nicole-gm3kq, these days that can be a very difficult task! See our video "Bible Says Most Will Go to Eternal Damnation But a Few Will Receive God's Grace & Go To Eternal Joy" at th-cam.com/video/tlLkoB7yIhU/w-d-xo.html . Question: "What factors should one consider when trying to find a good local church?" Hebrews 10:25, "Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching."
Answer: When trying to find a good local church, it’s good to remember that, just like the people in them, no church is perfect. However, there are many important issues that should be considered when choosing a church. Some people live close to only a few churches, and their choices will be limited, but for others there are many more options. Be sure to pray about the churches you’re considering, to be sure you’re following the Lord’s leading as you search. Begin your search online, or in a local phone book, to see all of your options. Be especially sure to read a church’s doctrinal statement or statement of belief to find out about their stance on important issues. If from this initial research a church seems to be good and solid, visit the church (including small groups or Sunday schools classes) several weeks while prayerfully considering whether to join as a member. Listed below are some important things you should consider in your search to find a church.
1. What is being preached and taught? The Bible is clear that we should only listen to those who preach the true gospel of Jesus Christ (Galatians 1:6-9). If any other message is being given in its place, then it is not a Christ-following church and you should move on to another one (Ephesians 1:22; 4:15, Colossians 1:18). The church should be speaking God’s truth as given to us through His inspired Word, the Bible (2 Timothy 3:15-17). The truth of the gospel is that we are sinners (Romans 3:23), that we need a savior, and that Jesus is the only way of salvation (Romans 6:23, Ephesians 2:8-9). The gospel, as well as all the other teachings of the Bible, should be taught accurately and consistently. Besides the message of salvation, churches vary when it comes to their views on the Trinity, the authority of the Bible, eternal security, free will, God’s sovereignty, election of the saints, eschatology (beliefs about the end times), and other theological issues. These are all important issues that we should seek to understand, and, as much as we are able, we should choose a church based on the beliefs we have about these and other church doctrines.
If you don’t know where you stand on these issues, you should try to find a church that emphasizes and teaches that the Bible is God’s inspired word and that believes in God’s sovereignty. God’s sovereignty is seen in the fact that God is lovingly and powerfully in control of all of history, and working in all our lives to ensure His plan is carried out in every detail and in His perfect ways (though often not understood by us). Avoid a church where you’re told that God only wants happiness, good health, success, and wealth for you; the Bible says that, as Christians, we should expect persecution and suffering for the cause of Christ (Matthew 5). God uses our pain to encourage others and to grow us. While God desires us to be happy, He is more concerned with our holiness than our temporal happiness.
2. Is the church a place of fellowship and community? The early church of Acts 2:42-47 “devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone was filled with awe, and many wonders and miraculous signs were done by the apostles. All the believers were together and had everything in common. Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread [Holy Communion] together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved." Fellowship should indeed include the observance of God’s ordinances for the church-communion (the Lord’s Supper) and believers’ baptism (Acts 2:38). Also, the church you choose should be welcoming to all. We should welcome sinners yet speak the truth to them about their sin. The people of the church should be committed to encouraging one another to grow in Christ (1 Thessalonians 5:11). Sometimes it’s hard to find a church where people don’t just show up on Sunday, but instead truly invest in each others’ lives. Part of this investment is seen in how active and important Sunday school classes, community groups, small groups, youth groups, and other support groups are within the church. If you are a parent, it is especially important that your children find an enjoyable and meaningful group to join during the formative years of their lives. Many kids don’t have Christian friends at their schools and desperately need this peer influence in their lives (Ephesians 6:4). While married couples are usually abundant in churches, it can be more difficult for people in other life stages to connect in some churches. If you are single, divorced, widowed, or have been abused, look for churches that include others who are in the same stage or experience as you.
3. Is the church focused on reaching out to others, outside the church, with the message of the gospel and practical service? Christ commanded us to carry the gospel to the ends of the earth, to all unreached peoples (Matthew 28:19-20). The church should be leading its members in this, preparing them to share the gospel with their neighbors and supporting or even leading local or international missions trips. We should be caring for the poor, the widowed, and everyone whom we can help (James 1:22-27, 1 Peter 4:10). Some churches don’t have the resources to reach out to the community with formal groups, but the individuals in the church should be volunteering in the community and serving their neighbors, on their own or with friends. Be sure to also look for a place to serve within your church.
4. Does the style of music fit with your taste or preferences? The older hymns are often rich with truth and important doctrines that can bolster our faith, and there are also many newer songs and choruses that are uplifting and encouraging. The purpose of music in a church should be to lead the people closer to the Lord in worship and adoration. Many of us are used to one style of music as opposed to another, just out of habit or childhood experiences. While music style should be taken into consideration, it should not be the deciding factor in finding a good church.
5. Best choices: 1.Try doing an internet search for Reformed Baptist churches in your area & see what comes up & go visit (there's not that many of them out there but I believe Reformed Baptists are the closest to what the Bible actually teaches doctrinally - farese.com/ ). 2. If that doesn't work try a Bible believing Baptist church but they can easily be filled with all the problems you have already been experiencing so you must be discerning in what each Baptist church you come across is doing (there can be the good, the bad & the ugly so be careful). 3. If that doesn't work try a "Bible Church" but you'll have to investigate what their doctrinal statement is in each case. 4. If that doesn't work you could try an Orthodox Presbyterian Church but I really don't like their stand on infant baptism & their form of covenant theology (for more on this see our video "The Faulty Presuppositions of Dispensationalism & Covenant Theology (Including Infant Baptism)" at th-cam.com/video/bkUzH914IzM/w-d-xo.html). 5. Anything beyond these options & you're getting into real danger of doctrinal error from false prophets. Beware of Pentecostal & Charismatic churches - see our video series starting with "Blasphemous Charismatic & Pentecostal Mayhem #1: Mad Delusional Experiences Replace Scripture Alone" at th-cam.com/video/Kbv7YsyMf0I/w-d-xo.html
6. If all else fails you are always welcome to participate in our live streaming of our Sunday service by way of your computer on our website to my home church at dsf.org/ or through SermonAudio at www.sermonaudio.com/source_detail.asp?sourceid=dayspringaustin .

@@CAnswersTV Thank you so much for your wisdom and guidance! I will keep searching 🙏
Let’s stick to the bible, the only true word of God.
This is what ill ask... Tell me the Words in Ellen Whites writings that is against Gods word
Charito Gimena - Seventh-day Adventism is a damnable cult of a demon possessed woman because she claimed a person could not make it through the 1844 investigative judgment of Christ (see our video "Cult Doctrine of Seventh-day Adventism: 1844 Probation & Satan As A Final Sin Bearer for Adventists" at th-cam.com/video/J50HlZFYHtY/w-d-xo.html) without keeping the Sabbath. By making Sabbath Keeping a requirement for salvation the Seventh-day Adventists commit the same type of damnable heresy as the Judaizers did in Galatians 1:6-9 who only required circumcision. Ellen G. White required a lot more things to achieve salvation for her deluded investigative probation judgment (including the "Reform Dress" for women) & many other things than the Judaizers, who were damned by the apostle Paul, ever dreamed of. Ellen G. White makes the Judaizers look like antinomians! Of course both groups are destined for hell in the end. Besides all this Seventh-day Adventists as well as the Black Hebrew Israelites (see our video "Myths of the Black Hebrew Israelites: Theological Racism, Black King James Only, Apocrypha, Whites" at th-cam.com/video/9TiqBceXoH8/w-d-xo.html) & others do not keep the Sabbath the way the Old Testament says to keep the Sabbath thus they are self deluded hypocrites to say the least.
HOW TO KEEP THE SABBATH
What Is required in keeping the Sabbath according to Mosaic Law:
1. No work done at all (Ex. 20: 10; Lev. 23: 3; Jer. 17:21-22). No watering the lawn, no working in the yard, no hobbies, no surfing, no fixing flat tires, etc. By law if a person did not stop all types of activity in honor of the Sabbath, he was breaking the law. In Numbers 15:32-36 a man was caught collecting sticks on the Sabbath, and he received a rock concert from the people he knew.
2 No kindling of a fire (Ex. 35:3). No fellowship cookouts or barbecues. You can't go into a restaurant and get a hamburger that's been flame broiled, you can't cook eggs, or pancakes in the morning because you'd be kindling a fire for cooking. To drive a car would be to "kindle a fire" In the combustion chamber of your engine.
3. No traveling (Ex. 16:29). Later the Jews added to this law, allowing only a half mile of travel on the Sabbath which we see observed in the NT. But the pure law says "stay at home." Actually, If you kept this part of the law, you could not travel to your church gathering unless it was less than one-quarter mile away from home. If you had an emergency you could not drive to the hospital.
4. No trading (Amos 8:5). If you happened to need gas to get to church service, you could not "trade" money for gasoline. You would not be allowed to buy a cassette tape of that morning's message or a book at the store. There is to be No exchanging of money for goods. If you worked with stocks and you needed to sell you couldn’t.
5. No marketing (Neh. 10:31; 13:15,19). Make sure you do no shopping whatsoever. You can't buy any ice cream for dessert after dinner or anything else. If you run out of food or drink at home you can’t go out to purchase any, you can’t even by a stick of gum.
6. "... a holy assembly with double the daily offering along with the other offerings. In other words, you are to give twice as much on the Sabbath (Num. 28:9).Do we practiced this today In compliance with Old Testament law. Do Sabbatarian's really practice the law? I have yet to see people go to Shabbat and give twice as much each week.
7. New showbread In the holy place (Lev. 24:8). Of course this cannot be done today since there is no temple, so this part of the Sabbath cannot be followed by the church. The fact Is the Sabbath was not made for the gentiles, but for the Jews and their generations Ex. 31:12-17). It's a law given between God and the Jews.
8. The last part of the requirements for keeping the Sabbath day law Is the penalty for breaking It. DEATH (Numbers 15:32-36)!
Do Seventh-day Adventists keep the Sabbath the way the Bible says to keep it? No because they are religious hypocrites. They don't even stone violators. Exodus 31:14 --"Therefore you are to observe the Sabbath, for it is holy to you. Everyone who profanes it shall surely be put to death; for whoever does any work on it, that person shall be cut off from among his people."

Someone on TH-cam asked if Ellen G. White was guilty of plagiarizing from non-inspired authors.
Our ministry response: It's not good to claim to have visions from God & messages from angels like Ellen White did & at the same time plagiarize from people who were not angels or God, that's just not an honest thing to do. Regarding EGW plagiarism. Walter Rey’s "White Lie" book lists dozens of examples which is available at www.amazon.com/White-Lie-Walter-T-Rea/dp/0960742417/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=the+white+lie&qid=1572377398&s=books&sr=1-3 .

For more information about Ellen G. White's plagiarism - Ellen White's books/testimonies contain a large amount of material Mrs. White and her group of college educated secretaries plagiarized from non-inspired authors. She had a library of 1200 books to copy from. Ellen White did not give credit for her sources, while she led her followers to believe the material she wrote came from the throne of God. "In these letters which I write, in the testimonies I bear, I am presenting to you that which the Lord has presented to me. I do not write one article in the paper expressing merely my own ideas. They are what God has opened before me in vision--the precious rays of light shining from the throne." Testimonies for the Church Vol. 5 (1882-1889), page 67. See "The White Lie" by Walter Rea under Books. Some of the major sources of Ellen White's writings: John Harris, "The Great Teacher;" Frederic Farrar, "The Life of Christ;" George Jones, "Life-Scenes From the Four Gospels;" Alfred Edersheim, "The Life and Times of Jesus the Messiah;" J.

Charito Gimena periodddttt 🙌🏻
SDA is problematic and you can't see it from the inside. I had to step outside to see it.
Three things define a cult.
1. They have a “ prophet”
2. They have another source of authority besides the Bible I.e. another gospel
3. They believe that only they will go to heaven and that only if they obey its laws.
They also believe in isolation and censurship! Will not listen to comman sense!
Well all types of Christian religions were either created by someone or a group of people.

@@starwillows2836 - This is true but remember what Jesus Himself said in Matthew 24:24, "For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect." In Matthew 7:15-20 Jesus said, “Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves.
16 By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?
17 Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.
18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit.
19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
20 Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them." The Apostle Paul warned in Acts 20:27-30, " For I have not hesitated to proclaim to you the whole will of God. 28 Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God,[a] which he bought with his own blood.[b] 29 I know that after I leave, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock. 30 Even from your own number men will arise and distort the truth in order to draw away disciples after them. 31 So be on your guard! Remember that for three years I never stopped warning each of you night and day with tears." Jesus, the apostles & the prophets of the Old Testament declared that the Scriptures came from God not from men - see 100 verses showing the scripture is from God at www.openbible.info/topics/word_of_god (see also our video called "Both Fake Christians & Pagans Deny the Bible & Jesus Alike Since Jesus Said Holy Scripture is True" at th-cam.com/video/A0B9B2Mcb6M/w-d-xo.html). Thus the Bible scriptures are from God but false prophets distort & pervert the word of God creating cults & false religions.
@Maryanne Tuakana Teariki - Your statement may sound good to you but from the Bible perspective your statement is as false as can be - 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12, "9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness." The Bible tells us to expose error (Ephesians 5:11, "And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them."). And to expose error we must make righteous judgments. Christians must judge in order to: 1. Try the spirits to see if they are from God, for many false prophets are in the world. (1 John 4:1). 2. Mark & avoid false teachers, slaves of their own bellies, deceiving many with their smooth & flattering speech (Romans 16:17-18). 3. Rebuke false teachers, rebellious men, & deceivers who subvert whole families with their false doctrine. (Titus 1:9-16) 4. Have no fellowship with immoral, impure, or covetous men. (Ephesians 5:5-7) 5. Receive not deceivers who do not abide in the teaching of Christ into our homes, nor giving them any greeting. (2 John 7-11) 6. Be wary of those who preach another gospel. (2 Corinthians 11:4, Galatians 1:6-9) Even David, who feared touching one of God's anointed, did not hesitate to judge & expose Saul's sin before the world. "Out of the wicked comes forth wickedness." (1 Samuel 24:10, 12-13) Thus, shouldn't true Christians, following the Biblical standards laid down, judge & expose the sins of false teachers, prophets & immoral brothers in the church; all those who would pollute the truth with perverted doctrines or watered-down teachings which tickle the ear?

2 Timothy 4:2-5, "preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with [a]great patience and instruction. 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires, 4 and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths. 5 But you, be sober in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.". Our ministry, Christian Answers of Austin, Texas / Christian Debater, has attempted to do just that in order to protect the sheep of God from the many ravenous wolves that exist at every turn.

And he said unto them, Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.” -Luke 13:23-24 Do you understand the question in the above Scripture? “Lord, are there few that be saved?” Someone came to Jesus and wanted to know if “few” people were saved. It's interesting that the person didn't ask if “many” people were saved. Evidently the person had been listening to Jesus' preaching and became convinced that few people were really saved. When the Bible speaks of being “saved,” it means saved from God's wrath upon Christ-rejecting sinners in Hell (for more on hell see our playlist "Dealing with Hell, Lake of Fire, Unpopular Bible Doctrines" with 30 videos at th-cam.com/play/PLE04A1D0DFE95B95E.html & "Eternal Punishment, Part 1" at www.sermonaudio.com/sermoninfo.asp?SID=12607145320 & "Eternal Punishment, Part 2" at www.sermonaudio.com/sermoninfo.asp?SID=12607143539). Romans 5:9, “Much more then, being now justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.”
All Christ-rejecters go to Hell if they die in their sins. If a person is “saved,” then they are going to Heaven when they die. Romans 10:13, “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” We are saved from the eternal consequences of sin, which is punishment in hellfire. To be saved is synonymous with being “born again.” When a person becomes a born-again child of God, they are saved eternally. EVERY human being MUST to be saved (i.e., born again) to enter into Heaven. John 3:3, “Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” If a person dies in their sins without believing on Jesus as the Savior, the Son of God, they will burn in Hell forever (Revelation 20:11-15).Just as the disciple who asked Jesus the question in Luke 13:23, I myself often wonder how few are truly born again believers. I dare say not many. Let's consider the question again...“Lord, are there few that be saved?” There are over one billion Catholics in the world who errantly believe that the Catholic Church is going to save them. Roman Catholics do not trust Jesus Christ alone; but rather, rely upon manmade traditions and self-righteous works to save them. According to the Word of God, genuine Catholics are hellbound in their sins because they are trusting in self-righteousness (Romans 3:20; 10:3-4; Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:5, see our playlist "Dealing with Roman Catholicism, Idolatry & the Virgin Mary" with 129 videos & counting at th-cam.com/play/PLFFA8D69D1B914715.html). There are over one billion Islamic Muslims in the world who deny that Jesus Christ ever died upon a cross for our sins (see our playlist "Dealing with Islam, Muslims: Sunni, Shi'ite, Alawites, Sufis" with 67 videos at th-cam.com/play/PL1C7F68B548009FDD.html). According to the Bible, they are antichrists and liars on their way to Hell (1st John 2:22-23).
There are over 183,000 cults in Japan alone that deny Jesus Christ as the only Savior of the world. Other false religions include Scientology, Hinduism, Wicca, Buddhism, Seventh Day Adventism, Zoroastrianism, Greek Orthodox, Judaism, Jehovah Witness, Mormonism, Freemasonry, and many more (see our TH-cam channel CAnswersTV at th-cam.com/users/CAnswersTV with over 615 videos covering most of these anti Christian religions in detail). Why do I call them “false religions”? It's simply because they all corrupt the Biblical teaching of salvation, i.e., the gospel (see our playlist "Dealing with Anti Trinitarians (UPC) & Early Church History" with 48 videos at th-cam.com/play/PL9931642C7C8FFEAB.html). Most false religions ADD works to faith. Mormons and Jehovah Witnesses DENY the deity of Jesus Christ (i.e., that He is Almighty God) - see our playlists "Dealing with Mormonism, the Religion of Mitt Romney & Utah" with 20 videos at th-cam.com/play/PL11CD0EE613306BB5.html & "Dealing with Jehovah's Witnesses, Watchtower Society" with 22 videos at th-cam.com/play/PLCF0ADB29C0EB8C40.html. Seventh Day Adventists falsely and deceitfully redefine faith to mean works (see our playlist, "Dealing with Seventh-day Adventism & Their "Prophetess" with 23 videos at th-cam.com/play/PL5316CC6F66F24283.html). There are hundreds of millions of followers of Hinduism who deny Jesus as the Savior, the Son of God (see our playlist "Dealing with Anti Christ Cults, "New Age" & World Religions" with 42 videos at th-cam.com/play/PL69A3047B3497590A.html). Judaism denies that Jesus is the Messiah. The same Pharisaical Jews who crucified Jesus 2,000 years ago are crucifying Him today. /watch?v=veCdGzYsc70.

I have had Adventists write and tell me that Ellen G. White (EGW) never claimed to be a prophet or prophetess in their attempt to excuse her from her failed visions and Bible contradictions. Is this a valid excuse? How did EGW respond to the questions about her being a prophetess? EGW: No Claim to the Title "Prophetess."--During the discourse [at Battle Creek, October 2, 1904], I said that I did not claim to be a prophetess. Some were surprised at this statement, and as much is being said in regard to it, I will make an explanation. Others have called me a prophetess, but I have never assumed that title. I have not felt that it was my duty thus to designate myself. Those who boldly assume that they are prophets in this our day are often a reproach to the cause of Christ. -Letter 55, 1905, Selected Messages, Book 3, page 74. Note: There were false prophets in Biblical days and that did not keep the messengers of God (true prophets) from accepting the title of "prophets". The proof of a prophet is in the works of the prophet not in the title. Regardless of EGW's title whether prophetess or Messenger of the Lord, she was a reproach to the cause of Christ by contradicting the Word of God and having failed visions.
EGW: When I was last in Battle Creek, I said before a large congregation that I did not claim to be a prophetess. Twice I referred to this matter, intending each time to make the statement, "I do not claim to be a prophetess." If I spoke otherwise than this, let all now understand that what I had in mind to say was that I do not claim the title of prophet or prophetess. -Selected Messages, Book 1, page 35.
Note: Ellen White had a hard time making up her mind whether or not she was a prophet after opening her mouth to the public that she was not a prophet. If you notice EGW was not denying being a prophetess, but that she was not claiming "the title of prophet or prophetess."
EGW: My work includes much more than this name signifies. I regard myself as a messenger, entrusted by the Lord with messages for His people. -Letter 55, 1905, Selected Messages, book 1, pp. 32, 35, 36.
The Work of a Prophet and More. --I am now instructed that I am not to be hindered in my work by those who engage in suppositions regarding its nature, whose minds are struggling with so many intricate problems connected with the supposed work of a prophet. My commission embraces the work of a prophet, but it does not end there. It embraces much more than the minds of those who have been sowing the seeds of unbelief can comprehend. -Letter 244, 1906. Addressed to elders of the Battle Creek church; See Selected Messages, book 1, pp. 34-36.
Note: EGW never tells us what her work is that was "more than that of a prophet." She tells us it is just "to bear God's word." EGW is telling us she had a "commission" of a prophet, but her work did not end there. Again EGW, is telling us she was a prophet even though she did not claim the title. How can this be? A prophet is a prophet regardless of the work God assigns to them.
Ellen White knew exactly what she was saying when she wanted to be called "the Lord's Messenger" and what it implied. So when Ellen G. White referred to herself as "the Lord's Messenger" she was using Bible language to claim equality with John the Baptist, Malachi, Haggai, and other Old Testament prophets. In other words, all her double-talk about not calling herself a "prophet" is simply garbage! She used the term "Messenger" which was specifically used of prophets and priests.
Mal 2:7 (NIV) ""For the lips of a priest ought to preserve knowledge, and from his mouth men should seek instruction-because he is the messenger of the LORD Almighty."
Hag. 1:13 (NIV) Then Haggai, the LORD’S messenger, gave this message of the LORD to the people: “I am with you,” declares the LORD.
Mat 11:9, 10 (NIV) "Then what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet." "This is the one about whom it is written: "'I will send my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way before you.'"
AReviewThe SDA Church understands that Ellen G. White was a prophet to their church and put her picture on the cover of the Adventist Review along with Moses, John the Baptist, and Deborah, Adventist Review June 4, 1992. Associate Editor Roy Adams wrote an article, "A Prophet for Our Time, Sizing Up Ellen G. White", in this edition, pp. 8,9.
EGW: The Privilege of Being God's Messenger.--I am very thankful that the Lord has given me the privilege of being His messenger to communicate precious truth to others. -Letter 80, 1911, Selected Messages, Book 3, page 76.
Note: EGW must have been a very special person for God to give her the privilege of being his messenger. This was the first time since John the Baptist that God had called anyone his "messenger" Matt. 11:10. It took nearly 2000 years for a miracle of this magnitude to take place in the person of EGW in 1845. Wow!
EGW's "truth" has been a failure of her visions, huge amounts of Bible contradictions, unscientific health reform information, and the ability to enforce this on her church. Any opened minded person should be able to see clearly that EGW was not God's Messenger, but a False Prophet. God would never allow a true prophet to put out such garbage.
All the people that heard EGW's so called "truth" are now dead. You would think that if God would call a "messenger" to speak to people that are alive just before his coming, the message would not contradict his word.
God has allowed false prophets to exist and function in times past. God has given us the Holy Spirit and the Scriptures to test the prophets. Jesus and the Apostles warn us not to follow false prophets.
EGW: Early in my youth I was asked several times, Are you a prophet? I have ever responded, I am the Lord's messenger. I know that many have called me a prophet, but I have made no claim to this title. My Saviour declared me to be his messenger. "Your work," he instructed me," is to bear my word. Strange things will arise, and in your youth I set you apart to bear the message to the erring ones, to carry the word before unbelievers, and with pen and voice to reprove from the Word actions that are not right. Exhort from the Word. I will make my Word open to you. It shall not be as a strange language. In the true eloquence of simplicity, with voice and pen, the messages that I give shall be heard from one who has never learned in the schools. My Spirit and my power shall be with you. -Advent Review and Sabbath Herald, July 26, 1906.
Note: This is more of EGW's double talk that she does not claim the title of a prophet. If I paint houses and someone asks me if I am a painter and I say, my work is more than painting houses as I am a house decorator, but if they wish to call me a painter, I have no quarrel with them. Am I not assuming the title of "painter?" For more see www.truthorfables.com/EGW_Not_a_Prophetess.htm.
Cult of Ellen White: Adventist Church declares Ellen White to be the infallible interpreter of scripture.
Review and Herald June 3, 1971
"The Bible is an infallible guide, but it needs to be infallibly interpreted to avoid confusion and division. When will the people of God cease trusting their own wisdom; when will they come to the place where they will cease to measure construe and interpret, by their own reason, what God says to them through His APPOINTED CHANNEL? When we come to the place where we place no trust in man or in the wisdom of man but UNQUESTIONABLY accept and act upon what God says through this GIFT, then will the SPIRIT OF PROPHECY as set before us in the Bible and as witnessed in the present manifestation of this gift be confirmed among us and become in fact, the counselor, guide and FINAL COURT OF APPEAL among God's people".

Larry Wessels, director of Christian Answers of Austin, Texas/ Christian Debater, websites: www.BibleQuery.org, www.HistoryCart.com, & www.MuslimHope.com, email: cdebater@aol.com) is joined in studio by former Seventh Day Adventist pastor Dale Ratzlaff (email: dale@ratzlaf.com) who relates his personal testimony of why he left the Seventh Day Adventist religion & why Ellen G. White is a false prophet.
Dale is author of Sabbath in Christ, The Cultic Doctrine of Seventh-day Adventists, The Truth About the Seventh-day Adventist Truth, and Adventist to Christian. Dale was an Adventist pastor for 13 years, seven of which he spent teaching Bible at Monterey Bay Academy , La Selva Beach, California. During his doctoral studies at Andrews University in the 1980’s, Dale became convinced that the 1844 investigative judgment could not be supported by Scripture. Since he could no longer teach this doctrine, he and his wife Carolyn left the Adventist denomination.
The Seventh-day Adventist doctrine of the investigative judgment and cleansing of the heavenly Sanctuary based upon Daniel 8:14 is indeed the central pillar of the Adventist faith. Some Adventists may disagree; however, it is. Ellen White said, “The scripture which above all others had been both the foundation and central pillar of the Advent faith was the declaration, ‘Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed’.
A recent book by Dr. Roy Adams is subtitled, Understanding the Heart of Adventist Theology, and it confirms this.The Adult Sabbath School Bible Study Guide, 2001, is entitled, Pillars of Our Faith. It includes chapters on “The Sabbath”, “The Heavenly Sanctuary”, “The Hour of God’s Judgment”, “The Remnant”, etc. The last two presidents of the General Conference have both expressed publicly that the Adventist church will not change.
•Ellen G. White said that Daniel 8:14 is the foundation and central pillar of the Advent faith.
•A recent book on the sanctuary by Adventist leader Dr. Roy Adams is subtitled, The heart of Adventist theology.
•A recent Adult Sabbath School Bible Study Guide, entitled, The pillars of our faith includes chapters on the “The Sabbath”, “The Heavenly Sanctuary”, “The Hour of God’s Judgment”, and “The Remnant”. It includes this quotation from Early Writings, p. 263, “Jesus entered the most holy of the heavenly, at the end of the 2300 days of Daniel 8, in 1844, to make final atonement for all who could be benefitted by His mediation, and thus to cleanse the sanctuary.”
•Dr. Roy Gane stated that he was excited to know that Ratzlaff understood that the sanctuary was central to Adventists.
•Dr. Richard Davidson referred to the sanctuary as the heart of doctrine.
•Dr. Angel Rodriguez, professor of theology at the Adventist seminary and associate director of the Adventist Biblical Research Institute, stated forthrightly, “Without 1844 and the doctrine of the Sanctuary ... there is no reason for us to exist. 1844 provided for us our identity and our mission. And if we are wrong, then we are simply wrong.”
We can see that the stakes are high.
There are many, perhaps the majority, of Adventist pastors and Bible teachers who want to run as far away from Daniel 8:14, 1844 and the investigative judgment, and the cleansing of the heavenly sanctuary as possible. Yet the church cannot dismiss this doctrine. This doctrine is not only the central pillar in name, it is the central pillar holding up the whole Adventist identity. That is why the last two General Conference presidents have openly endorsed Ellen White and the sanctuary doctrine. If they were to admit the errors of October 22, 1844, and the investigative judgment as the cleansing of the heavenly sanctuary as taught by Ellen White, then Ellen White would fall as “a continuing and authoritative source of truth”.
Here is something else worthy of note.
EGW claims to be the 'lesser light' yet Genesis 1:16 says, "And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the *lesser light to rule the night* : he made the stars also."
NIGHT = Hebrew:
הַלַּיְלָה לַיִל layil
night
night (as opposed to day)
of gloom, protective shadow (fig.)
Greek: νύξ noox
night
metaph. the time when work ceases
the time of death
the time for deeds of sin and shame
the time of moral stupidity and darkness
the time when the weary and also the drunken give themselves up to slumber
Jesus said in John 11:10:
"But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him."

The Seventh Day Adventist False Religion: A False Religion: The 7th Day Adventists were originally called Millerites because their group was founded by William Miller, a false prophet who predicted Jesus would return in either 1843 or 1844. When Miller’s prediction of Christ’s second coming failed to come to pass, the Millerites disbanded in dismay; this event became known as the “Great Disappointment.” But then a couple of Miller’s followers claimed to have visions (lies to support their false religion) to account for the failed prophecy.
Instead of coming to earth, Jesus had entered the heavenly temple-thus, Miller was right, after all, they said, except his prophecy had a spiritual fulfillment instead of a physical one. One of the seers who covered for Miller was 17-year-old Ellen G. Harmon, who had her first of 2,000 purported visions in a prayer meeting shortly after Miller’s disgrace. With her vision, Ellen soon became a beacon of hope for disillusioned Millerites. She united Adventist factions and became the spiritual guide for a new religious group. Right from the start the Seventh Day Adventists were a false religion with false prophets and false biblical teachings!
Other problematic doctrines in Seventh-day Adventism include the teaching that Satan is the “scapegoat” and will bear believers’ sins (The Great Controversy, p. 422, 485)-this is the opposite of what the Bible says about who bore our sins whom is Jesus (1 Peter 2:21-24). Seventh-day Adventism also identifies Jesus as Michael the archangel (source: Jude 1:9 of their Clear Word Bible, published by Review and Herald Publishing Association, 1994)-a doctrine that denies the true nature of Christ, and teaches that Jesus entered a second phase of His redemptive work on October 22nd, 1844, as prophesied by Hiram Edson.
The Clear Word Bible is the bible the Adventists created for themselves to support their false doctrines; it’s a Seventh-day Adventist paraphrase of the Bible that alters numerous verses to bring them in line with SDA doctrine. And, of course, the Adventist promotion of Sabbath-keeping as a primary doctrine goes against the teaching of Scripture on the matter (see Romans 14:5).
Seventh-Day Adventism is a diverse movement, and not all SDA groups hold to all the doctrines mentioned above. But all Seventh-Day Adventists should seriously consider the following: a recognized prophetess in their church was a teacher of aberrant doctrine, and their church has its roots in the failed prophecies of William Miller. Due to the penchant of Adventists to accept extra-biblical revelation and the doctrinal issues mentioned above, one would strongly encourage believers to not get involved in Seventh-day Adventism.
The Bible says suffer not a woman to teach (1 Timothy 2:12-15) contradicting Ellen G. White’s leadership; the Bible says that it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment (Hebrews 9:27-28) and that when unbelievers die they go to Hell as the wrath of God abides upon them (John 3:36; Revelation 21:8) and that unbelievers will lift up their eyes in Hell being in torment (Luke 16:19-31) and that Hell is a place “Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched (Mark 9:48); when you die you go to Heaven or Hell (John 3:36); there is no soul sleep for to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord (2 Corinthians 5:8)! The Bible states that there is no annihilationism, because you literally burn in Hell until the Great White Throne Judgment where unbelievers will be taken out of Hell, the book of their life will be read to them showing all their sins and their rejection of Jesus throughout their life and then they will be cast into the Lake of Fire (Revelation 20:11-15). The Bible also states that the Lake of Fire, like Hell, is also a place where humans will suffer torment forever (Revelation 14:9-11), that unbelievers will be cast into the Lake of Fire (Revelation 20:11-15) and that Satan, the Beast (the Antichrist) and the false prophet will be in the Lake of Fire for eternity (Revelation 19:20).
The Bible states that Jesus is God (John 1:1-2; 1:14; 1 Timothy 3:16) and not the archangel Michael as the 7th Day Adventists claim; they have a false Jesus that cannot save them, as only the Biblical Jesus exists and the Bible says that He is God!
The Bible states that Christians have a faith-based-salvation and not a works-based-salvation (Ephesians 2:8-9), which means the Seventh Day Adventists are trying to earn their way into Heaven, which they cannot work their way to Heaven: “Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity” (Matthew 7:21-23), hence they are heading to the very Hell they often lie about. The Adventists also disregard the Bible and instead use their Clear Word Bible, which was made by them to support their false doctrines. The Jehovah’s Witnesses do the same with their New World Translation. You either trust the Word of God, or the lies of the 7th Day Adventists.
Yet another blunder by the 7th Day Adventists is that the Sunday service is the Mark of the Beast, while lets examine the verse that talks about the Mark of the Beast:
“And he [the 2nd Beast, the False prophet] causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that has the Mark, or the name of the beast [the 1st Beast, the Antichrist], or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six (666).” Revelation 13:16-18
Nowhere in this verse does it state that Sunday service is the Mark of the Beast. Rather it states a few things about the Mark of the Beast: 1. It goes into our right hands and foreheads, like a bio-chip, microchip, electronic tattoo, etc. 2. It is connected to a cashless economy; how else can you stop everyone on earth from buying or selling? 3. and that if you do not have the Mark of the Beast you cannot buy or sell anything. So no the Mark of the Beast is not Sunday service! The 7th Day Adventists are a false religious cult whose leadership will take the Mark of the Beast to have access to their billions because they have been deceived about the Mark of the Beast. They will have their followers do the same and they will all be damned to the Lake of Fire for eternity!
Lord Jesus be mercyfull to us we need u more anything
Our righteousness is a gift...trying has nothing to do with righteousness.
Righteousness is not of yourself!
In fact it has nothing to do with your trying!
Eph 2:8
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Righteousness and trying was possible once but not now! There was a Righteousness of the law and now there is not.
REVELATION 20:15
AND ANYONE NOT FOUND WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF LIFE WAS CAST INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE!!!
That the degree of suffering with each one is to endure is taken into the account as a part of his crimes is evident from Romans 2:
6 Who will render to every man according to his deeds:
7 To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:
8 But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,
9 Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;
In Gods mercy of course. But hey, it sure beats drowning right?
Here are some things to consider that not many people think about or realize as they read scripture. Men plant churches. The word Church in the our Bible is a mistranslation from the word Ekklesia in the Original Scriptures. it has been the practice of man to plant physical churches. However this is not what Messiah did. He came to build an invisible body of believers. Ekklesia or sold out once. They were not incorporated or 501 c 3 or connected with the government in any way. In fact the government was against them and they suffered a lot of persecution because they were sold out. Today's churches have sold out to the world and have placed themselves under the governments of this world and by that they have removed Messiah as their head. there is a lot more I can tell you but I don't want to take a lot of space right here.
Any denomination that can predict when God is coming is false. Jesus Christ himself does not know. Not even the angels know.
Can you tell me where you found that out? Can you link me a source because i would like to know more about that.
@@SuPerFabAline13 -(First Vision 12/1844) "It was just as impossible for them (those that gave up their faith in the 1844 movement) to get on the path again and go to the city, as all the wicked world which God had rejected. They fell all the way along the path one after another," (Foregoing now deleted) "until we heard the voice of God like many waters, WHICH GAVE US THE DAY AND HOUR OF JESUS' COMING. The living saints, 144,000 in number, knew and understood the voice, while the wicked thought it was thunder and an earthquake.

I'm a proud SDA. If I'll go to hell for being an SDA so be it. Thank you God 😊 💓 .
and this comment is proof why this religion is dangerous. They pride themselves in their religious self righteousness rather then long to be with Jesus for eternity. Wow what a horrible thing to say after all that Jesus did for you on the cross.
My folks were fanatical Adventists! I decided at an early age, that if they were the only ones going to heaven- I didn't want to be there!
Christ came to redeem us from the curse of the law and Adventists came to give the curse back!!!!!
" If i'll go to Hell", What a thing to say.
I can't imagine how this comment could be more stupid.
Firstly, "proud". You don't care that God condemns pride??
Second, "If I go to hell" - that doesn't concern you?
Third, you don't know that people go to hell because they haven't trusted Christ as presented in the Bible??? John 3:18.
And most moronic of all, why thank God for your stupidity and demonic foolishness.
Repent and trust the Lord Jesus Christ today.
Can somebody please explain to me why the pastor said that he will not look at Ellen White's books for six months (time stamp: 9:13), instead of not looking at them at all?
This is just a short 10 minute clip from the full length video it came from "Former Seventh-day Adventist Pastor for 13 Years Gives His Testimony Why Adventism is Wrong" at th-cam.com/video/c37bNhYzdbE/w-d-xo.html . This short video ended right at the point you are asking about so the full length video will pick where this clip ended & most likely answer your question. Keeping old cultic literature is also a good way to expose cultic literature for what it is compared to the Bible particularly if you are going to write books showing how false SDA teachings are.

Larry Wessels, director of Christian Answers of Austin, Texas/ Christian Debater, websites: www.BibleQuery.org, www.HistoryCart.com, & www.MuslimHope.com, email: cdebater@aol.com) is joined in studio by former Seventh Day Adventist pastor Dale Ratzlaff (email: dale@ratzlaf.com) who relates his personal testimony of why he left the Seventh Day Adventist religion & why Ellen G. White is a false prophet.
Dale is author of Sabbath in Christ, The Cultic Doctrine of Seventh-day Adventists, The Truth About the Seventh-day Adventist Truth, and Adventist to Christian. Dale was an Adventist pastor for 13 years, seven of which he spent teaching Bible at Monterey Bay Academy , La Selva Beach, California. During his doctoral studies at Andrews University in the 1980’s, Dale became convinced that the 1844 investigative judgment could not be supported by Scripture. Since he could no longer teach this doctrine, he and his wife Carolyn left the Adventist denomination.
The Seventh-day Adventist doctrine of the investigative judgment and cleansing of the heavenly Sanctuary based upon Daniel 8:14 is indeed the central pillar of the Adventist faith. Some Adventists may disagree; however, it is. Ellen White said, “The scripture which above all others had been both the foundation and central pillar of the Advent faith was the declaration, ‘Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed’.
A recent book by Dr. Roy Adams is subtitled, Understanding the Heart of Adventist Theology, and it confirms this.The Adult Sabbath School Bible Study Guide, 2001, is entitled, Pillars of Our Faith. It includes chapters on “The Sabbath”, “The Heavenly Sanctuary”, “The Hour of God’s Judgment”, “The Remnant”, etc. The last two presidents of the General Conference have both expressed publicly that the Adventist church will not change.
•Ellen G. White said that Daniel 8:14 is the foundation and central pillar of the Advent faith.
•A recent book on the sanctuary by Adventist leader Dr. Roy Adams is subtitled, The heart of Adventist theology.
•A recent Adult Sabbath School Bible Study Guide, entitled, The pillars of our faith includes chapters on the “The Sabbath”, “The Heavenly Sanctuary”, “The Hour of God’s Judgment”, and “The Remnant”. It includes this quotation from Early Writings, p. 263, “Jesus entered the most holy of the heavenly, at the end of the 2300 days of Daniel 8, in 1844, to make final atonement for all who could be benefitted by His mediation, and thus to cleanse the sanctuary.”
•Dr. Roy Gane stated that he was excited to know that Ratzlaff understood that the sanctuary was central to Adventists.
•Dr. Richard Davidson referred to the sanctuary as the heart of doctrine.
•Dr. Angel Rodriguez, professor of theology at the Adventist seminary and associate director of the Adventist Biblical Research Institute, stated forthrightly, “Without 1844 and the doctrine of the Sanctuary ... there is no reason for us to exist. 1844 provided for us our identity and our mission. And if we are wrong, then we are simply wrong.”
We can see that the stakes are high.
There are many, perhaps the majority, of Adventist pastors and Bible teachers who want to run as far away from Daniel 8:14, 1844 and the investigative judgment, and the cleansing of the heavenly sanctuary as possible. Yet the church cannot dismiss this doctrine. This doctrine is not only the central pillar in name, it is the central pillar holding up the whole Adventist identity. That is why the last two General Conference presidents have openly endorsed Ellen White and the sanctuary doctrine. If they were to admit the errors of October 22, 1844, and the investigative judgment as the cleansing of the heavenly sanctuary as taught by Ellen White, then Ellen White would fall as “a continuing and authoritative source of truth”.
My ex girlfriend was one of these people and she was very crazy . I thought it was her Latina ways but no, it was definitely this. Her views on God/religion were absolutely hypocritical and just bizzare&ridiculous. Made no sense whatsoever. She thought just because she went to church every OTHER Saturday that she was good to do whatever sins she wanted in between time cause “Jesus died for her sins” so all she wanted to do was sin and praise Jesus for allowing her to live her lifestyle. Meanwhile she lived like the devil and completely destroyed every part of my life that she could. And her favorite thing to do was try to get me to agree to be in an open relationship, lmao. NO!
Crazy woman , I tried to teach her about The True Word of God but she is lost and gone with the wind. Truly sad what these cults do to very good people just because she was born into it. Her mother and father were leaders of one of these churches &after meeting them and getting to know them I can totally see where she got it all from. Very tragic and very misguided. She lost everything she ever “prayed” for.
I hope you save yourself for marriage in your next relationship. Don't create soul ties. It only causes heartbreak, depression and so on. And do not be unequally yoked. Get to know someone spiritually before making a commitment. Be blessed ❤
I feel your pain.
My ‘soon to be’ ex-wife is almost like that too. She’s lost into the SDA lies and deceptions.
I pray for you that you will find the right person one day
Many falsely believe that EGW started the 7th Day Adventists. She did not, but learned of the 7th day sabbath from others, and joined. Her visions later somehow gained support by fellow members, who later began calling her a Phophetess.
You are correct, EGW didn't start the SDA Church. EGW and others were once engaged in the ministry of William Miller who predicted Jesus would return in 1840, then settled on sometime between March of 1843 and March of 1844. Of course, this didn't happen. Then a zealous Miller follower named SS Snow came up with October 22, 1844, as the sure date of the coming of Jesus. Of course, it didn't happen. The failure of Oct 1844 led to the Miller movement falling apart and splitting up.
EGW fell in with one group early on as she had a vision in Dec. of 1844 affirming the rightness of the date, but that the event was wrong (something a man named Hiram Edson originated a day after the disappointment of Jesus not returning Oct. 1844). Over time more began to be convicted EGW was indeed led of God through visions. Then came the teaching of the Sabbath from Joseph Bates (in about 1846) that moved young Ellen and her recently married spouse, James, to embrace the Sabbath teaching. It is commonly accepted in Adventism that Jospeh Bates along with James and Ellen White were the three original co-founders of Adventism, and this is accurate. In the early years of Adventism, the nascent movement developed around their leadership. During the early years from 1844-1856 or so, most fundamental beliefs for that early movement were pounded out and gave them their identity. It wasn't until 1863 that the SDA Church came into being as a legal entity. They adopted their name in 1860 and formed their first conference (a group of churches in a given geographic location) in 1861.
From there, as they say, "the rest is history."
Someone asked, "I looked on page 71 of "Desire of the Ages and there is no mention of Jesus having older brothers. I have been an SDA for 9 years and have never heard that before." When reading Desire of Ages, on page 62 or 87 depending which version one has, in the 10th paragraph of chapter 9 "Days of Conflict", Ellen G White states, "All this displeased His brothers. Being older than Jesus, they felt that He should be under their dictation." The Desire of Ages Bible Additions & Contradictions - 1. EGW: Jesus had older brothers “All this displeased his brothers. Being older than Jesus, they felt that He should be under their dictation. They charged Him for setting Himself above their teachers and the priests and rulers of the people.
Often they threatened and tried to intimidate Him; but He passed on,
making the Scriptures His guide.” DA, p. 87.
Not biblical: The Bible does not tell us Jesus had "older brothers" nor
any of the other statements attributed to them as claimed by Ellen G.
White.
Matt 12:46-47
(NIV): While Jesus was still talking to the crowd, his mother and
brothers stood outside, wanting to speak to him. Someone told him, “Your
mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to speak to you.”
How do Protestant Christians view Jesus' brothers?
"Nevertheless, some writings in the early centuries raised questions
about the brothers to protect their developing doctrine of Mary’s
perpetual virginity. One of them, often called the Gospel of James,
tells the life story of Mary, using much fanciful material. It claims
that Jesus’ brothers were the sons of Joseph by an earlier marriage.
This is the view of the Greek Orthodox Church. Later a famous scholar,
Jerome, argued that Jesus’ brothers were really his cousins because
their mother was Mary of Cleophas and the sister of Mary the mother of
Jesus (see John 19:25).
This is the view of the Roman Catholic Church, but Protestant scholars
prefer the traditional view of the Gospels. Jesus was born of the virgin
Mary. Mary and Joseph then had four sons in the way all humans normally
do." Holman Bible Dictionary, by W. J. Fallis.
2. EGW: Jesus’ brothers sided with the Rabbis
"His brothers, as the sons of Joseph were called, sided with the rabbis.
They insisted that the traditions must be heeded, as if they were the
requirements of God. They even regarded the precepts of men more highly
than the word of God, and they were greatly annoyed at the clear
penetration of Jesus in distinguishing between the false and the true.
His strict obedience to the law of God they condemned as stubbornness."
DA, p. 86.
Not biblical: There is not one word in Holy Scriptures that tells us
anything about the brothers of Jesus siding with the rabbis, nor do we
ever find the brothers condemning Jesus about anything as charged by
Ellen G. White.
3. EGW: Jesus, an irritation to his brothers
"The example of Jesus was to them a continual irritation." DA, p. 88.
Not biblical: Where in the Bible do we find that Jesus was a continual
irritation to his brothers?
4. EGW: Jesus charged with cowardice
"Often He was accused of cowardice for refusing to unite with them (his
brothers) in some forbidden act;" DA, p. 89.
Not biblical: Did Jesus' brothers really try to get Jesus to commit a
forbidden act? Please give the Bible text.
5. EGW: Jesus brothers were spiteful towards Jesus
"Again and again He was asked, why do you submit to such despiteful
usage, even from your brothers?" DA, p. 89.
Not biblical: Where does the Bible tell us Jesus' brothers were ever
spiteful towards Him?
6. EGW: Priests and teachers wanted Mary to control Jesus
"When the priests and teachers required Mary's aid in controlling Jesus,
she was greatly troubled; At times she wavered between Jesus and His
brothers," DA, p. 90. "They decided that He must be persuaded or
constrained to cease their manner of labor, and they induced Mary to
unite with them, thinking that through His love for her they might
prevail upon Him to be more prudent." DA, p. 321.
Not biblical: Would someone supply the Bible text where the priests and
teachers wanted Mary to control Jesus, where Mary wavered between Jesus
and His brothers and uniting with the brothers?
7. EGW: Judas chose himself
"While Jesus was preparing the disciples for their ordination, one who
had not been summoned urged his presence among them. It was Judas
Iscariot, a man who professed to be a follower of Christ. He now came
forward soliciting a place in this inner circle of disciples. ... He
hoped to experience this through connecting himself with Jesus" DA, pp.
293, 717.
Not biblical: The Bible truth is that JESUS CHOSE JUDAS.
"When morning came, he called his disciples to him and chose twelve of
them ... Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor. ... Then Jesus replied,
'Have I not chosen you, the Twelve? ... You did not chose me, but I
chose you" Luke 6:13-16; John 6:70; 15:16
(NIV).
8. EGW: Judas had a conviction to confess his sin
"When the Saviour’s hands were bathing those soiled feet, and wiping
them with the towel, the heart of Judas thrilled through and through
with the impulse then and there to confess his sin." DA, p. 645.
Not biblical: There is no Bible record of Judas having an impulse to
confess his sin at the foot-washing.
9. EGW: Judas did not have a conviction to confess
"As Christ celebrated this ordinance with His disciples, conviction came
to the hearts of all save Judas." Evangelism p. 275.
Note: Did Judas have a conviction to confess his sin, or did he not have
this conviction? Which EGW statement came from God? Ellen's inspired
writings are very difficult to keep up with as she often contradicts
herself as well as God.
10. EGW: Dogs eat Judas' body
His weight had broken the cord by which he had hanged himself to the
tree. In falling, his body had been horribly mangled, and dogs were now
devouring it. His remains were immediately buried out of sight;" DA, p.
722.
Not biblical:There is no Bible record of dogs eating Judas. Acts 1:18
(NIV) With the reward he got for his wickedness, Judas bought a field;
there he fell headlong, his body burst open and all his intestines
spilled out.
11. EGW: Jesus' bones broken during His crucifixion
"The mother of Jesus was agonized, almost beyond endurance, and as they
stretched Jesus upon the cross, and were about to fasten his hands with
the cruel nails to the wooden arms, the disciples bore the mother of
Jesus from the scene, that she might not hear the crashing of the nails
as they were driven through the bone and muscle of his tender hands and
feet" Spiritual Gifts, vol. 1, p. 58.
Not biblical: The Bible tells us, John 19:25,
36 (NIV) These things happened so that the scriptures would be
fulfilled: 'Not one of his bones will be broken'
12. EGW: Omits broken bones mistake 40 years later
"His hands stretched upon the cross; the hammer and the nails were
brought, and as the spikes were driven through the tender flesh, ..."
DA, p. 744.
Note: EGW compiled the Desire of Ages, 40 years after she first wrote
that as the nails were driven through his "bone and muscle," she changed
her account to read: the nails were driven through the tender flesh.
13. EGW: Jesus could not see through the portals of the tomb
"The Saviour could not see through the portals of the tomb. Hope did not
present to Him His coming forth from the grave a conqueror, or tell Him
of the Father’s acceptance of the sacrifice" DA, p. 753.
Not biblical: Jesus told his followers what would happen after his
death; He would rise up after three days. Jesus also told Caiaphas, "In
the future" he would return. Who is telling the truth, Jesus or EGW? The
Bible tells us that Jesus could see through the portals of the tomb
from the following texts:
Luke 24:7 (NIV) 7‘The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of
sinful men, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.’
John 2:19 (NIV) 19Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.”
John 10:17
- 18 (NIV) 17The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my
life-only to take it up again. 18No one takes it from me, but I lay it
down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to
take it up again. This command I received from my Father.”
Matt 26:64
(NIV) 64“Yes, it is as you say,” Jesus replied. “But I say to all of
you: In the future you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand
of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven.”
14. EGW: The sister of Martha and Lazarus, was Mary Magdalen-she was led
into sin by Simon
The Feast At Simons’ House. "Simon had led into sin the woman he now
despised. "It was Mary who poured upon His head the precious anointing
oil, and bathed His feet with her tears. Mary was first at the tomb
after the resurrection." DA, p. 566,568.
Not biblical: The Bible never identifies Mary, LAZARUS' sister as Mary
Magdalene, nor is it ever suggested from the Bible that Simon led Mary
into sin and despised her. EGW in the DA does not say this Mary was Mary
Magdalene, but does identify Mary as "was first at the tomb". The Bible
tells us it was Mary Magdalene who was first at the tomb:
Mark 16:9 (NIV) When Jesus rose early on the first day of the week, he
appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had driven seven
demons.
15. EGW: Man healed on the Sabbath, forgot it was Sabbath
"In his joy the man had forgotten that it was the Sabbath; yet he felt
no condemnation for obeying the command of One who had such power from
God." DA, p.203.
Not biblical: There is no mention in John 5 that the man forgot that it
was the Sabbath or that he felt no condemnation for obeying Christ.
spritual saneness will only exist when spiritual matters become ones concern and this will come into reality if only we read and understand the bible. We should not follow people blindly especially in their beliefs about God, but rather we should first know the real truth about God. Beware of malingerers.
John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. (45) And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.
If a thing is true, why would there ever be a need for “the best mind?” Would it not be obvious to everyone? There in is the answer.
Someone contacted us saying "Please remove me from your list. I didn’t know you are teaching that the Sabbath is done away with. I am not and never have been Seventh Day Adventist for the reasons you gave but as a Bible believing Christian why is Sunday so much better than the Sabbath? Because Constantine made it so and the majority of people follow that? My husband and I have been so blessed by keeping the sabbath in our home . Many more blessings I can assure you than just worshiping on Sunday morning." Our response, "Your request will be honored. The Bible says you can worship & fellowship on any day that you wish & you are not condemned so if you like Saturdays then so be it (Romans 14:5, "One person values one day over another, another values every day the same. Each person must be fully convinced in his own mind.") while the early Christian church met for worship on the first day of the week which would be Sunday (Acts 20:7; 1 Cor. 16:2; Rev. 1:10 ) But Scripture doesn’t use the word Sunday, a name associated with sun worship (12-14). Instead, the early church spoke of Sunday as the first day of the week, or the first day from the Sabbath. I'm glad to hear you are not a Seventh-day Adventist. They make keeping the Sabbath as an essential condition of salvation but of course they completely fail in their attempts to keep the Sabbath holy & here's why :
HOW TO KEEP THE SABBATH - What Is required in keeping the Sabbath according to Mosaic Law: -
1. No work done at all (Ex. 20: 10; Lev. 23: 3; Jer. 17:21-22). No watering the lawn, no working in the yard, no hobbies, no surfing, no fixing flat tires, etc. By law if a person did not stop all types of activity in honor of the Sabbath, he was breaking the law. In Numbers 15:32-36 a man was caught collecting sticks on the Sabbath, and he received a rock concert from the people he knew.
2 No kindling of a fire (Ex. 35:3). No fellowship cookouts or barbecues. You can't go into a restaurant and get a hamburger that's been flame broiled, you can't cook eggs, or pancakes in the morning because you'd be kindling a fire for cooking. To drive a car would be to "kindle a fire" In the combustion chamber of your engine.
3. No traveling (Ex. 16:29). Later the Jews added to this law, allowing only a half mile of travel on the Sabbath which we see observed in the NT. But the pure law says "stay at home." Actually, If you kept this part of the law, you could not travel to your church gathering unless it was less than one-quarter mile away from home. If you had an emergency you could not drive to the hospital.
4. No trading (Amos 8:5). If you happened to need gas to get to church service, you could not "trade" money for gasoline. You would not be allowed to buy a cassette tape of that morning's message or a book at the store. There is to be No exchanging of money for goods. If you worked with stocks and you needed to sell you couldn’t.
5. No marketing (Neh. 10:31; 13:15,19). Make sure you do no shopping whatsoever. You can't buy any ice cream for dessert after dinner or anything else. If you run out of food or drink at home you can’t go out to purchase any, you can’t even by a stick of gum.
6."... a holy assembly with double the daily offering along with the other offerings. In other words, you are to give twice as much on the Sabbath (Num. 28:9).Do we practiced this today In compliance with Old Testament law. Do Sabbatarian's really practice the law? I have yet to see people go to Shabbat and give twice as much each week.
7. New showbread In the holy place (Lev. 24:8). Of course this cannot be done today since there is no temple, so this part of the Sabbath cannot be followed by the church. The fact Is the Sabbath was not made for the gentiles, but for the Jews and their generations (Ex. 31:12-17). It's a law given between God and the Jews.
8.The last part of the requirements for keeping the Sabbath day law Is the penalty for breaking It. DEATH! (Numbers 15:32-36)
Seventh-day Adventists do not keep the Sabbath the way the Old Testament says to keep the Sabbath thus they are wasting their time & are nothing more than deluded hypocrites. Titus 1:15-16, "15 Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled. 16 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate."
Keeping the Sabbath if You Live in Alaska is a Big Problem -This shows that the Sabbath was a regional, temporary command for Israel and not for the world. Interesting problem in Alaska. According to the officious SDA sunset calculator, on Friday eve, May 30th, in Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, the sun set below the horizon, bringing with it the Jewish Shabbat, at 11:38 PM, almost midnight. Note: AK is so far west, it is on Hawaiian time. Here is the quote:
Calculations for:
Longitude: -148.34000
Latitude: 70.27000 Prudhoe Bay, Alaska
Time Zone: Hawaiian Standard Time, HST
Date: 5/30/03 Friday
Sunrise: 0:07am HST (sunrise Friday morning)
Sunset: 11:38pm HST (sunset, Friday night, becoming sabbath)
Next, we find sunrise on Sabbath, May 31st, actually starts before midnight Friday night and el sol invictus stays up all day Sabbath, and into Sabbath night, and into Sunday morning, and into Sunday night, for the next two months!
Date: 5/31/03
Sunrise: Sun above horizon HST
Sunset: Sun above horizon HST (meaning the sun never sets). Meaning: if you live and work in Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, extracting dino remains buried and liquified by Noah's flood less than 4500 years ago, you have a problem! (no!! dummy! not the recent age of the earth!)... you have to quit working!
Because on Friday night, May 30th, when the sun went down at 1l:38, bringing in the holy Lord's day, you had to stop working, thou, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and all the strangers within thy igloo. But the sun came up again on Sabbath just a few minutes later, but never went down after that!!!
As I scribble this nonsense it is still Sabbath in Prudhoe Bay...cause the sun never went down....no Saturday sunset. So if you believe literally that you must keep sabbath from sunset on Friday night to Sabbath sunset.....the next day, Sabbath, did NOT have a sunset this summer! Won't be a sunset for another two months! So you are faced with keeping Sabbath for two months straight, and giving up your job with Exxon! Unless of course, you are the camp padre, trying to spread the word that black gold comes from dead dinos who missed the ark, or in the medical profession raking in piles of dough and salving your conscience by paying plenty of tithe to keep the hired-archy gainfully employed.... -sent by reader; see www.truthorfables.com/Sabbath_Not_A_Law.htm .

Matthew 7:15, "Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves."
Can you please edit this so it is more obvious where your response starts?
PS 147:19-20 ""He shewed His word unto Jacob, His statutes and His judgments unto Israel [not the Gentles]
He has not dealt so with any other nation: and as for His judgments, they have not known them. Praise you the LORD." The Law was given to the Jews not the Gentles. ACTS 15:24 "Forasmuch as we [the Apostles] have heard, that certain ones which went out from us have troubled you [Gentles] with words, subverting your souls, saying, You must be circumcised, and keep the Law: to whom we gave no such commandment:" ACTS 15:28-29 For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you [Gentles] no greater burden than these necessary things; That you abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if you keep yourselves, you shall do well. Fare you well."
Gentles are a law unto themselves says ROM 2:14 who have similar moral laws as says the 10 Commandments but not exactly the same [no Sabbath law] It is by this moral code written in the heart of the Gentles that the Gentles are convicted of sin and therefore their need for Christ.
It has always seemed odd to me that when a sabbath keeper tells a Sunday keeper that they rest on the seventh day according to the commandment, the Sunday keeper accuses the sabbath keeper of trying to work their way into heaven!! Working by resting! A strange idea!!
@stevefitzgerald846 - Someone on TH-cam made the following comments on one of our videos dealing with Seventh-day Adventism: "The only thing I agree with that the SDA church do is keep the Sabbath. But I disagree with that fact that they say that Jesus nailed all of the required Feast days and can celebrate the pagan holidays that the world celebrates, Christmas, New Year's day, etc. Ellen G. White's doctrine is not true." When told what the Old Testament requirements for keeping the Sabbath were this TH-cam viewer said in response, "I already do all of that. Been doing it for years."
My response: So you're telling the world here in this TH-cam comments section that you have kept the Sabbath perfectly just like the Old Testament has it laid out meaning no work, no fire, no traveling, no trading, no marketing, double offerings on Sabbaths, having new show bread in the holy place, & a death penalty for breaking the Sabbath?! That's amazing! Where on this planet do you live? Do you live in Alaska for instance? How about the modern state of Israel? Do you live somewhere in the United States? South Pole? Sabbath Keeping is virtually impossible in the United States did you know that? Sabbath Keeping is genuinely impossible in an advanced industrial society, that is interdependent on various forms of labor that are necessary 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. Modern sabbatarians are hypocrites, because the fourth commandment, if followed today, would require that Christians refuse to use electricity and heating in their homes and churches on the Sabbath. We often pride ourselves on the efficiency of modern technology, forgetting that many men and women must go to work and operate the machines that provide the power the fuel for our gadgets. These workers are committing Sabbatarian capital crimes each Sabbath, and every Christian sabbatarian who uses these gadgets, apart from some legitimate emergency, sends people to hell every Sabbath, morning and evening, as he sits in the comfort of his air-conditioned church. If the sabbatarian creeds are correct, then sabbatarians are weekly condemning others to the flames of eternal torment, just so they can sit in 75-degree comfort.
Sabbath Keeping, if it were placed anywhere NEAR being a national priority, would instantly lead to the complete collapse of Western Civilization. Judaism has broached this massive fatal flaw in Sabbath Keeping with aggressive measures to avoid Sabbath Breaking:
Electricity on Shabbat in Jewish law - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electricity_on_Shabbat
Electricity on Shabbat - Parshat Vayakhel - Mitzvahs & Traditions, www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/1159378/jewish/Electricity-on-Shabbat.htm .
This still comes nowhere near to fixing the problem.
Every Sabbath, tens of millions of workers all across the industrialized west obediently troop to work in vital industries that we take for granted. Millions of governmental employees, whose salaries are paid directly by Sabbath Keepers and their tax dollars, work on Saturday. If they didn't, society would come to a immediate and screeching half. The vast Federal Government alone - with the air force, navy, army and marines working 24/7, and most government employees at the least bringing some work home to do on Saturday; results in Tens of Millions of workers breaking the Sabbath, in order to directly benefit those who claim they are "Keeping the Sabbath." Not as long as you pay your taxes, your utility bills, your telephone and internet bills: All of those things mean you are paying people who "work" for you every Sabbath. These people are working for your benefit, and you have paid them.
People pretend and lie to themselves that this is not happening, because everything you buy has a "buffer" that deceives you into thinking you aren't doing something when you actually are. Paying with money for your goods and services is like Pontius Pilate in a way: You get to "wash your hands" of all of the obvious Sabbath Breaking that you have paid for, and you don't need to think about the reality of what you are actually doing. When the Sabbath was in play in the ancient land of Israel, it was workable. Not now.
The Israelite Society that was plainly the subject of the Mosaic Law was agrarian, primitive and homogeneous ethnically. Society could and did shut down completely on the Sabbath. No other society that has ever existed since then has had that ability. And no other society ever will again. The idea that ANYONE in an industrialized society can "keep the Sabbath" is just an elaborate fairy tale.
Do you know of anyone that even TRIES? I know of NO Sabbatarian Christian that even TRIES. It would require the following:
- Withholding all taxes and be willing to go to prison for tax evasion;
-Foregoing ALL utilities...electricity, internet and so on...since whether you use them or not, when you pay your bill, you are directly paying for people to break the Sabbath;
-Driving a car on the Sabbath is breaking the Sabbath millions of times: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Driving_on_Shabbat
Basically, it would require living in some pre-modern, primitive way that was "completely off the grid." You couldn't even be attached to a municipal sewer system, since sewage treatment goes on 24/7. You couldn't even have an off-site storage unit that draws electricity.
The Sabbath was no longer in effect. Jesus flaunted breaking the Sabbath, and it wasn't just "rules." He never ONCE said anything about the "rules" being the problem. The problem identified by both he and Paul was the "Law" in its entirety. NEVER did they distinguish between the "rules" and manmade "Traditions"; and the "Law": That is yet another fairy tale told by Sabbatarians.
Nothing in the New Testament suggests keeping the Sabbath in a different way than it had always been kept.
The 4th Commandment on its face prohibits your employees from working for you. What "man-made" rule made THAT impossible to keep?
Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
11 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
The commandment on its face explicitly forbids paying ANYONE to work for you on the Sabbath. That was easy to do in the Second Temple era. It is impossible to do now. That is no mere "man made rule" that is at issue: The Commandment is CLEAR and unambiguous on its face. You pay your taxes and you pay your utility bills, there are "manservants" and "maidservants" who are GOING to be "working: for YOU. And working for YOU on the Sabbath. That cop patrolling on Sabbath is working for YOU. That electrical lineman fixing a transformer is working for YOU. And YOU paid that cop and that lineman. This is not a mere "rule" that sets out how far you can walk on the Sabbath. It is a blunt prohibition against ANYONE "working" for YOU on the Sabbath.
Jesus fulfilled the law. It pointed to him. He made it. It was OVER. See our video "The 613 Laws of Moses are Over - Faith in Christ Has Now Taken Over" at th-cam.com/video/q6QVBFBSAzA/w-d-xo.html .
Question: "How is Jesus our Sabbath Rest?" Answer: The key to understanding how Jesus is our Sabbath rest is the Hebrew word sabat, which means "to rest or stop or cease from work." The origin of the Sabbath goes back to Creation. After creating the heavens and the earth in six days, God "rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had made" (Genesis 2:2). This doesn’t mean that God was tired and needed a rest. We know that God is omnipotent, literally "all-powerful." He has all the power in the universe, He never tires, and His most arduous expenditure of energy does not diminish His power
one bit. So, what does it mean that God rested on the seventh day? Simply that He stopped what He was doing. He ceased from His labors. This is important in understanding the establishment of the Sabbath day and the role of Christ as our Sabbath rest.
God used the example of His resting on the seventh day of Creation to
establish the principle of the Sabbath day rest for His people. In
Exodus 20:8-11 and Deuteronomy 5:12-15,
God gave the Israelites the fourth of His Ten Commandments. They were
to "remember" the Sabbath day and "keep it holy." One day out of every
seven, they were to rest from their labors and give the same day of rest
to their servants and animals. This was not just a physical rest, but a
cessation of laboring. Whatever work they were engaged in was to stop
for a full day each week. (Please read our other articles on the Sabbath
day, Saturday vs. Sunday and Sabbath keeping to explore this issue
further.) The Sabbath day was established so the people would rest from
their labors, only to begin again after a one-day rest.
The various elements of the Sabbath symbolized the coming of the
Messiah, who would provide a permanent rest for His people. Once again
the example of resting from our labors comes into play. With the
establishment of the Old Testament Law, the Jews were constantly
"laboring" to make themselves acceptable to God. Their labors included
trying to obey a myriad of do’s and don’ts of the ceremonial law, the
Temple law, the civil law, etc. Of course they couldn’t possibly keep
all those laws, so God provided an array of sin offerings and sacrifices
so they could come to Him for forgiveness and restore fellowship with
Him, but only temporarily. Just as they began their physical labors
after a one-day rest, so, too, did they have to continue to offer
sacrifices. Hebrews 10:1 tells us that the law "can never, by the same
sacrifices repeated endlessly year after year, make perfect those who
draw near to worship." But these sacrifices were offered in anticipation
of the ultimate sacrifice of Christ on the cross, who "after He had
offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right of God"
(Hebrews 10:12).
Just as He rested after performing the ultimate sacrifice, He sat down
and rested-ceased from His labor of atonement because there was nothing
more to be done, ever. Because of what He did, we no longer have to
"labor" in law-keeping in order to be justified in the sight of God.
Jesus was sent so that we might rest in God and in what He has provided.
Another element of the Sabbath day rest which God instituted as a
foreshadowing of our complete rest in Christ is that He blessed it,
sanctified it, and made it holy. Here again we see the symbol of Christ
as our Sabbath rest-the holy, perfect Son of God who sanctifies and
makes holy all who believe in Him. God sanctified Christ, just as He
sanctified the Sabbath day, and sent Him into the world (John 10:36)
to be our sacrifice for sin. In Him we find complete rest from the
labors of our self-effort, because He alone is holy and righteous. "God
made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become
the righteousness of God" (2 Corinthians 5:21).
We can now cease from our spiritual labors and rest in Him, not just
one day a week, but always.
Jesus can be our Sabbath rest in part because He is "Lord of the
Sabbath" (Matthew 12:8). As God incarnate, He decides the true meaning
of the Sabbath because He created it, and He is our Sabbath rest in the
flesh. When the Pharisees criticized Him for healing on the Sabbath,
Jesus reminded them that even they, sinful as they were, would not
hesitate to pull a sheep out of a pit on the Sabbath. Because He came to
seek and save His sheep who would hear His voice (John 10:3,27) and
enter into the Sabbath rest He provided by paying for their sins, He
could break the Sabbath rules. He told the Pharisees that people are
more important than sheep and the salvation He provided was more
important than rules. By saying, "The Sabbath was made for man, not man
for the Sabbath" (Mark 2:27),
Jesus was restating the principle that the Sabbath rest was instituted
to relieve man of his labors, just as He came to relieve us of our
attempting to achieve salvation by our works. We no longer rest for only
one day, but forever cease our laboring to attain God’s favor. Jesus is
our rest from works now, just as He is the door to heaven, where we
will rest in Him forever.
Hebrews 4 is the definitive passage regarding Jesus as our Sabbath rest.
The writer to the Hebrews exhorts his readers to "enter in" to the
Sabbath rest provided by Christ. After three chapters of telling them
that Jesus is superior to the angels and that He is our Apostle and High
Priest, he pleads with them to not harden their hearts against Him, as
their fathers hardened their hearts against Jehovah in the wilderness.
Because of their unbelief, God denied that generation access to the holy
land, saying, "They shall not enter into My rest" (Hebrews 3:11).
In the same way, the writer to the Hebrews begs them-and us-not to make
the same mistake by rejecting God’s Sabbath rest in Jesus Christ.
"There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; for anyone
who enters God's rest also rests from his own work, just as God did from
his. Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that
no one will fall by following their example of disobedience" (Hebrews
4:9-11).
There is no other Sabbath rest besides Jesus. He alone satisfies the
requirements of the Law, and He alone provides the sacrifice that atones
for sin. He is God’s plan for us to cease from the labor of our own
works. We dare not reject this one-and-only Way of salvation (John
14:6). God’s reaction to those who choose to reject His plan is seen in
Numbers 15. A man was found gathering sticks on the Sabbath day, in
spite of God’s plain commandment to cease from all labor on the Sabbath.
This transgression was a known and willful sin, done with unblushing
boldness in broad daylight, in open defiance of the divine authority.
"And Jehovah said to Moses, ‘The man shall surely be put to death’" (v.
35). So it will be to all who reject God’s provision for our Sabbath
rest in Christ. "How shall we escape if we neglect so great a
salvation?" (Hebrews 2:3).

For much documentation see "The White Lie" by Walter Rea at walterrea.com/. See "Ellen White's Plagiarism" at www.nonsda.org/egw/plagiarism.html. See also www.truthorfables.com/Desire_of_Ages_Veltman.htm. For example, Ellen White used a minimum of 23 sources of various types of literature, including fiction, in her writings on the life of Christ concerning her book "Desire of the Ages." ("The summary statement in the first article listed 28 writers and 32 sources for both the DA and pre-DA texts. I came up with the number 23 by omitting the duplications between the two textual Surveys and, in an effort to be sure that we had bona fide sources, by eliminating from the count all sources providing less than five parallels for any given chapter." quote from researcher Fred Veltman (Ministry, October 1990).
Actually, we have no way of knowing how many sources are represented in Ellen White's work on the life of Christ. In addition to the remaining 72 chapters of the DA text, there are two other books to review: Thoughts From the Mount of Blessing and Christ's Object Lessons. These 23 writers are sufficient, however, to answer the questions so many have asked: From what writers did Ellen White borrow? What kinds of books were they writing?
Space does not permit us to survey all 23 here. But there is no need to cover the entire lot, since many fall under the literary category of "Victorian lives of Christ." The books in this category were never intended to be biographies. Today they would probably be classified as historical fiction.
One obviously fictional account is Ingraham's The Prince of the House of David, a work that Albert Schweitzer referred to as one of the "’edifying’ romances on the life of Jesus intended for family reading." 8 Ingraham cast his work as a collection of letters written by an eyewitness in Palestine to her father in Egypt.
William Hanna's popular work was designed to be "practical and devotional." 9 No wonder that parallels from Hanna are to be found in 13 of the 15 DA chapters we investigated.
The books in Ellen White's library at the time of her death appear to corroborate what her writings reveal. She read widely in works of differing literary type, theological perspective, and scholarly depth.

Even if God/YHWH and Christ Jesus tell directly that the SABBATH of MAN was commemorated every 1st Day of the Week (SUNDAY) practiced by the Apostles and Early 7 Churches of God in Asia Minor, including the commemoration of Sunday Resurrection, Breaking of the Bread/Wine, and the Sunday Collections of Donations and Contributions for/to/of the SAINTS/CHURCH... (ref. ACTS 2 / 1 Corin. 16), ...
The 7th DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH (SDA founder and members) would still not accept the TRUTH, for it was Embedded in/from the TITLE of their Church...
Otherwise, if they believe and accept, they have to change the NAME of their CHRUCH into, the "FIRST DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH (FDA)," logically speaking. Unfortunately, that will not happen, they will defend their belief till the END, no matter what... The NAME of their CHURCH was founded and built upon that LIE.
Facts and Truth of the matters, Biblically and logically speaking... Praise be to God in Christ Jesus... Amen.
This is very serious! Goodness...Church of Jesus Christ...LOOK FOR THE LORD AND NO ONE ELSE
I was born into it it’s definitely a cult. My mental health suffered so much because of this cult. It’s been 2 years I’m still healing. I’ve had terrible religious abuse symptoms for years. Tbh I probably need therapy. As a result of this cult has made me lose my sense of self as well as develop ocd from the stress my parents have given me from instilling constant fear of not doing enough and being sinful. Do NOT Join this church you will either deeply regret it or be stuck in it for years due to guilt tripping from members as well as pastors from the church. I DO NOT recommend!!
Jesus loves you
Not saying you have to reconsider or anything but from my experience I’ve seen both sides of it and how people try to teach it. Because churches are really chill for the most part but when you step into the Caribbean sda or African you might get that judgy vibe for sure
Definitely understand tho!
U are not alone !
I’m in the process of unraveling myself. My self esteem has been all but completely destroyed. I was never taught the gospel just fear and extreme emotional abuse. Used to get in trouble for knowing the Bible more than the sabbath school teachers. Started seeking God early on after extreme depression. I had an experience with Jesus but that’s all but frowned upon. Your soul will not be nourished. I get hardly any support. No one really cares about you. I’m lucky enough to have made non-Adventist friends and I have my fiancée. But I’m done. If you want the real Jesus who is Almighty God, then get out of this cult while you can.
I myself am getting over it and I had been in it for six years.
Don't forget that 1844 great disappointment or they take the voices in the seven thunders and put it to there and call it the great disappointment but the voices in the seven thunders you'll never be revealed until before the second coming of only to the prophet Elijah and let's not forget a few years ago they were having meetings about who was going to be the Elijah and now they just say we believe that we have the spirit of Elijah keep switching it up
The great disappointment is from the millerite movement. Adventism didn't become a thing until years later.
Adventism is a shoot off from the millerite movement. Just like the Amish and the existing millerites today they are all from the same movement even down to the jehovah witness
They confusing themselves
Lord thank you for leading your children into ALL truth.
I can't help but wonder if most of us who query are plagued by fear of being lead astray from the side of Jesus by Rom'es daughter churches, so we stay in a religion that has vexed our spirits from day one. All of these religions share that in common, fear of the outside doctrines.

The wicked hate the Biblical doctrine of Hell & will create any myth
to pretend it is not real or eternal in the conscious divine punishment
of the damned. "Be not deceived, GOD IS NOT MOCKED: For whatsover a man
soweth, that shall he also reap" (Galations 6:7). "VENGEANCE IS MINE; I
WILL REPAY SAITH THE LORD" (Rom. 12:19).
"Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and
sin, and THAT WILL BY NO MEANS CLEAR THE GUILTY" (Exodus 34:7). Jesus
said, "It would have been good for that man if he had not been born"
(Matthew 26:24).
Why would Jesus say this if there wasn't something far worse waiting
for that man after this life is over? Interestingly enough, over the
years many atheists have flocked to our TH-cam hell videos with unusual
curiosity. Why do they bother if they don't think it is real?
2 Timothy 2:15
am not well verseled about ellen white but what i want you to tell me is which day is considered for a christian to woshp the lord and give me the scripture that go in line with your answer
Why do we worship on Sunday instead of Saturday? In the Old Testament, God stated, "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of the Lord your God; in it you shall not do any work, you or your son or your daughter, your male or your female servant or your cattle or your sojourner who stays with you." (Exodus 20:8-10, NASB). It was the custom of the Jews to come together on the Sabbath, which is Saturday, cease work, and worship God. Jesus went to the synagogue on Saturday to teach (Matt. 12:9, John 18:20) as did the apostle Paul (Acts 17:2; 18:4). So, if in the Old Testament we are commanded to keep the Sabbath and in the New Testament we see Jews, Jesus, and the apostles doing the same thing, then why do we worship on Sunday?
First of all, of the 10 commandments listed in Exodus 20:1-17, only 9 of them were reinstituted in the New Testament: five in Matt. 19:18, murder, adultery, stealing, false witness, and honor parents; in Rom. 13:9, coveting; worshiping God properly covers the first three commandments. The one that was not reaffirmed was the one about the Sabbath. Instead, Jesus said that He is the Lord of the Sabbath (Matt. 12:8).
Upon the completion of Creation, God rested on the seventh day. However, since God is all-powerful, He doesn’t get tired. He doesn’t need to take a break and rest. So, why did/does it say that He rested? The reason is simple: Mark 2:27 says, "The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath." In other words, God established the Sabbath as a rest for His people--not because He needed a break but because we are mortal and need a time of rest--a time to focus on God. In this, our spirits and bodies are both renewed.
The Old Testament system of Law required keeping the Sabbath as part of the overall moral, legal, and sacrificial system by which the Jewish people satisfied God’s requirements for behavior, government, and forgiveness of sins. The Sabbath was part of the Law in that sense. In order to "remain" in favor with God, you had to also keep the Sabbath. If it was not kept, then the person was in sin and would often be punished (Ezekiel 18:4; Rom. 6:23; Deut. 13:1-9; Num. 35:31; Lev. 20:2, etc.).
But with Jesus’ atonement, we are no longer required to keep the Law. We are not under Law but grace (Rom. 6:14-15). The Sabbath is fulfilled in Jesus. He is our rest. We are not under obligation, by Law, to keep it; and this goes for the Sabbath as well. It is not a requirement that we keep the Sabbath. If it were, then we would still be under the Law; but we are not.
Evidence of the Change of Days can be Seen in the NT
The New Testament has ample evidence that the seventh day Sabbath is no longer a requirement.
•Rom. 14:5-6, "One man regards one day above another, another regards every day alike. Let each man be fully convinced in his own mind. 6 He who observes the day, observes it for the Lord, and he who eats, does so for the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and he who eats not, for the Lord he does not eat, and gives thanks to God."
The entire section of Rom. 14:1-12 is worth careful study. Nevertheless, the instructions here are that individuals must be convinced in their own minds about which day they observe for the Lord. If the seventh day Sabbath were a requirement, then the choice would not be man's but God’s.
•Col. 2:16-17, "Therefore let no one act as your judge in regard to food or drink or in respect to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day--17things which are a mere shadow of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Christ."
Notice here that time sequence mentioned. A festival is yearly. A new moon is monthly. A Sabbath is weekly. No one is to judge regarding this. The Sabbath is defined as a shadow; the reality is Jesus. Jesus is our Sabbath.
•Acts 20:7, "And on the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread, Paul began talking to them, intending to depart the next day, and he prolonged his message until midnight."
The first day of the week is Sunday, and this is the day the people gathered. This passage can easily be seen as the church meeting on Sunday. It has two important church functions within it: breaking bread (communion) and a message (preaching). Additionally, Luke did not use the Jewish system of counting days: sundown to sundown. He used the Roman system: midnight to midnight. This is a subtle point that shows the Jewish Sabbath system was not the one utilized by Luke.
•1 Cor. 16:1-2, "Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I directed the churches of Galatia, so do you also. 2 On the first day of every week let each one of you put aside and save, as he may prosper, that no collections be made when I come."
Notice here that Paul is directing the churches to meet on the first day of each week and put money aside. It would seem that this is tithing. So, the instructed time for the church to meet is Sunday. Is this an official worship day set up by the church? You decide.
•Rev. 1:10-11, "I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and I heard behind me a loud voice like the sound of a trumpet, 11saying, "Write in a book what you see, and send it to the seven churches: to Ephesus and to Smyrna and to Pergamum and to Thyatira and to Sardis and to Philadelphia and to Laodicea."
The New Bible Dictionary says regarding the term, ‘The Lord’s Day’ in Revelation 1:10: "This is the first extant occurrence in Christian literature of τῇ κυριακῇ ἡμέρᾳ, "ta kuriaka hamera." The adjectival construction suggests that it was a formal designation of the church’s worship day. As such, it certainly appears early in the 2nd century (Ignatius, Epistle to the Magnesians, 1. 67).
In many churches today, the term "The Lord’s Day" is used to designate Sunday--the same as it was in the second century.
I hope this is evidence enough to show you that the Bible does not require that we worship on Saturday. If anything, we have the freedom (Rom. 14:1-12) to worship on the day that we believe we should. And, no one should judge us regarding the day we keep. We are free in Christ and not under law (Rom. 6:14).

PRISTON S MVEVO - This is for any hypocritical Seventh-day Advents that may reply to these comments here since they themselves do not keep the Sabbath the proper way that the Bible says to keep the Sabbath - Seventh-day Adventism is a damnable cult of a demon possessed woman because she claimed a person could not make it through the 1844 investigative judgment of Christ (see our video "Cult Doctrine of Seventh-day Adventism: 1844 Probation & Satan As A Final Sin Bearer for Adventists" at th-cam.com/video/J50HlZFYHtY/w-d-xo.html) without keeping the Sabbath. By making Sabbath Keeping a requirement for salvation the Seventh-day Adventists commit the same type of damnable heresy as the Judaizers did in Galatians 1:6-9 who only required circumcision. Ellen G. White required a lot more things to achieve salvation for her deluded investigative probation judgment (including the "Reform Dress" for women) & many other things than the Judaizers, who were damned by the apostle Paul, ever dreamed of. Ellen G. White makes the Judaizers look like antinomians! Of course both groups are destined for hell in the end. Besides all this Seventh-day Adventists as well as the Black Hebrew Israelites (see our video "Myths of the Black Hebrew Israelites: Theological Racism, Black King James Only, Apocrypha, Whites" at th-cam.com/video/9TiqBceXoH8/w-d-xo.html) & others do not keep the Sabbath the way the Old Testament says to keep the Sabbath thus they are self deluded hypocrites to say the least.
HOW TO KEEP THE SABBATH
What Is required in keeping the Sabbath according to Mosaic Law:
1. No work done at all (Ex. 20: 10; Lev. 23: 3; Jer. 17:21-22). No watering the lawn, no working in the yard, no hobbies, no surfing, no fixing flat tires, etc. By law if a person did not stop all types of activity in honor of the Sabbath, he was breaking the law. In Numbers 15:32-36 a man was caught collecting sticks on the Sabbath, and he received a rock concert from the people he knew.
2 No kindling of a fire (Ex. 35:3). No fellowship cookouts or barbecues. You can't go into a restaurant and get a hamburger that's been flame broiled, you can't cook eggs, or pancakes in the morning because you'd be kindling a fire for cooking. To drive a car would be to "kindle a fire" In the combustion chamber of your engine.
3. No traveling (Ex. 16:29). Later the Jews added to this law, allowing only a half mile of travel on the Sabbath which we see observed in the NT. But the pure law says "stay at home." Actually, If you kept this part of the law, you could not travel to your church gathering unless it was less than one-quarter mile away from home. If you had an emergency you could not drive to the hospital.
4. No trading (Amos 8:5). If you happened to need gas to get to church service, you could not "trade" money for gasoline. You would not be allowed to buy a cassette tape of that morning's message or a book at the store. There is to be No exchanging of money for goods. If you worked with stocks and you needed to sell you couldn’t.
5. No marketing (Neh. 10:31; 13:15,19). Make sure you do no shopping whatsoever. You can't buy any ice cream for dessert after dinner or anything else. If you run out of food or drink at home you can’t go out to purchase any, you can’t even by a stick of gum.
6."... a holy assembly with double the daily offering along with the other offerings. In other words, you are to give twice as much on the Sabbath (Num. 28:9).Do we practiced this today In compliance with Old Testament law. Do Sabbatarian's really practice the law? I have yet to see people go to Shabbat and give twice as much each week.
7. New showbread In the holy place (Lev. 24:8). Of course this cannot be done today since there is no temple, so this part of the Sabbath cannot be followed by the church. The fact Is the Sabbath was not made for the gentiles, but for the Jews and their generations Ex. 31:12-17). It's a law given between God and the Jews.
8.The last part of the requirements for keeping the Sabbath day law Is the penalty for breaking It. DEATH!
Titus 1:9-16
PS 147:19-20 ""He shewed His word unto Jacob, His statutes and His judgments unto Israel [not the Gentles]
He has not dealt so with any other nation: and as for His judgments, they have not known them. Praise you the LORD." The Law was given to the Jews not the Gentles. ACTS 15:24 "Forasmuch as we [the Apostles] have heard, that certain ones which went out from us have troubled you [Gentles] with words, subverting your souls, saying, You must be circumcised, and keep the Law: to whom we gave no such commandment:" ACTS 15:28-29 For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you [Gentles] no greater burden than these necessary things; That you abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if you keep yourselves, you shall do well. Fare you well."
Gentles are a law unto themselves says ROM 2:14 who have similar moral laws as says the 10 Commandments but not exactly the same [no Sabbath law] It is by this moral code written in the heart of the Gentles that the Gentles are convicted of sin and therefore their need for Christ.
WoW!! Every day is a good day to serve the Lord. How could you not?

Adventism is a business. Make no mistake about that.
If you go to page 5 of this report, you will see the SDA GC raked in US $3.2 BILLION in tithe and offering. That ain't small money at all.
They also have millions of dollars tied up in stock portfolios on Wall Street.

I'm a seventh day adventist but I have to say I can't stand how they said Ellen white was god speaking in a human form just stop pleez they littarly pretty much worship Ellen white
Yes...They revere Ellen G White.
The entire identity of the Adventists as "The Remnant Church" is wrapped up in her writings. Once you start to see the problem with that premise, the Adventist church is exposed as a cult.
Blaze the inferno so I guess we can say that it isn't a man made church.

CAnswersTV JESUS is our Sabbath. Everyday is a special blessing.
Hallelujah brother Brandon! Peace and strength to you in these perilous times. Our Saviour and King is coming back for all who love Him.
CAnswersTV. Wow! Thank you for that sobering modern day application of following the biblical sabbath! How impossible that would be. I am humbled and joyous that Jesus is my Sabbath....daily! God bless.
So are you saying that one should not keep the sabbath????
So Beit - We're saying you cannot keep the Sabbath the way the Old Testament teaches you to keep it & those that think they are keeping the Sabbath the way the OT Jews did are simply deluded hypocrites fulfilling the Biblical description of 2 Timothy 3:5, "holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these." For a true Christian Jesus is their Sabbath rest instead of trying to imperfectly keep Old Testament Sabbath rules & regulations like hypocrites do. The key to understanding how Jesus is our Sabbath rest is the Hebrew word sabat, which means "to rest or stop or cease from work." The origin of the Sabbath goes back to Creation. After creating the heavens and the earth in six days, God "rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had made" (Genesis 2:2). This doesn’t mean that God was tired and needed a rest. We know that God is omnipotent, literally "all-powerful." He has all the power in the universe, He never tires, and His most arduous expenditure of energy does not diminish His power one bit. So, what does it mean that God rested on the seventh day? Simply that He stopped what He was doing. He ceased from His labors. This is important in understanding the establishment of the Sabbath day and the role of Christ as our Sabbath rest.
God used the example of His resting on the seventh day of Creation to establish the principle of the Sabbath day rest for His people. In Exodus 20:8-11 and Deuteronomy 5:12-15, God gave the Israelites the fourth of His Ten Commandments. They were to "remember" the Sabbath day and "keep it holy." One day out of every seven, they were to rest from their labors and give the same day of rest to their servants and animals. This was not just a physical rest, but a cessation of laboring. Whatever work they were engaged in was to stop for a full day each week. (Please read our other articles on the Sabbath day, Saturday vs. Sunday and Sabbath keeping to explore this issue further.) The Sabbath day was established so the people would rest from their labors, only to begin again after a one-day rest.
The various elements of the Sabbath symbolized the coming of the Messiah, who would provide a permanent rest for His people. Once again the example of resting from our labors comes into play. With the establishment of the Old Testament Law, the Jews were constantly "laboring" to make themselves acceptable to God. Their labors included trying to obey a myriad of do’s and don’ts of the ceremonial law, the Temple law, the civil law, etc. Of course they couldn’t possibly keep all those laws, so God provided an array of sin offerings and sacrifices so they could come to Him for forgiveness and restore fellowship with Him, but only temporarily. Just as they began their physical labors after a one-day rest, so, too, did they have to continue to offer sacrifices. Hebrews 10:1 tells us that the law "can never, by the same sacrifices repeated endlessly year after year, make perfect those who draw near to worship." But these sacrifices were offered in anticipation of the ultimate sacrifice of Christ on the cross, who "after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right of God" (Hebrews 10:12). Just as He rested after performing the ultimate sacrifice, He sat down and rested-ceased from His labor of atonement because there was nothing more to be done, ever. Because of what He did, we no longer have to "labor" in law-keeping in order to be justified in the sight of God. Jesus was sent so that we might rest in God and in what He has provided.
Another element of the Sabbath day rest which God instituted as a foreshadowing of our complete rest in Christ is that He blessed it, sanctified it, and made it holy. Here again we see the symbol of Christ as our Sabbath rest-the holy, perfect Son of God who sanctifies and makes holy all who believe in Him. God sanctified Christ, just as He sanctified the Sabbath day, and sent Him into the world (John 10:36) to be our sacrifice for sin. In Him we find complete rest from the labors of our self-effort, because He alone is holy and righteous. "God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God" (2 Corinthians 5:21). We can now cease from our spiritual labors and rest in Him, not just one day a week, but always.
Jesus can be our Sabbath rest in part because He is "Lord of the Sabbath" (Matthew 12:8). As God incarnate, He decides the true meaning of the Sabbath because He created it, and He is our Sabbath rest in the flesh. When the Pharisees criticized Him for healing on the Sabbath, Jesus reminded them that even they, sinful as they were, would not hesitate to pull a sheep out of a pit on the Sabbath. Because He came to seek and save His sheep who would hear His voice (John 10:3,27) and enter into the Sabbath rest He provided by paying for their sins, He could break the Sabbath rules. He told the Pharisees that people are more important than sheep and the salvation He provided was more important than rules. By saying, "The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath" (Mark 2:27), Jesus was restating the principle that the Sabbath rest was instituted to relieve man of his labors, just as He came to relieve us of our attempting to achieve salvation by our works. We no longer rest for only one day, but forever cease our laboring to attain God’s favor. Jesus is our rest from works now, just as He is the door to heaven, where we will rest in Him forever.
Hebrews 4 is the definitive passage regarding Jesus as our Sabbath rest. The writer to the Hebrews exhorts his readers to “enter in” to the Sabbath rest provided by Christ. After three chapters of telling them that Jesus is superior to the angels and that He is our Apostle and High Priest, he pleads with them to not harden their hearts against Him, as their fathers hardened their hearts against the Lord in the wilderness. Because of their unbelief, God denied that generation access to the holy land, saying, “They shall not enter into My rest” (Hebrews 3:11). In the same way, the writer to the Hebrews begs his readers not to make the same mistake by rejecting God’s Sabbath rest in Jesus Christ. “There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; for anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from his own work, just as God did from his. Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will fall by following their example of disobedience” (Hebrews 4:9-11).
There is no other Sabbath rest besides Jesus. He alone satisfies the requirements of the Law, and He alone provides the sacrifice that atones for sin. He is God’s plan for us to cease from the labor of our own works. We dare not reject this one-and-only Way of salvation (John 14:6). God’s reaction to those who choose to reject His plan is seen in Numbers 15. A man was found gathering sticks on the Sabbath day, in spite of God’s plain commandment to cease from all labor on the Sabbath. This transgression was a known and willful sin, done with unblushing boldness in broad daylight, in open defiance of the divine authority. “Then the LORD said to Moses, ‘The man must die. The whole assembly must stone him outside the camp’” (verse 35). So it will be to all who reject God’s provision for our Sabbath rest in Christ. “How shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation?” (Hebrews 2:3).

my only experience with seventh day adventism and ellen gould white is reading the great controversy edition from 1858. I think its a very strong book, i read it many times by now. i never joined the church and i dont intend to, what you are saying about the church is not ruining the messages of the book. I dont care what some men tried to interpret "cleaning the sanctuary" as, the book says that prophetic time closed in 1844. "Their mistake consisted in not understanding what the Sanctuary was, and the nature of its cleansing. Jesus did enter the Most Holy place to cleanse the Sanctuary at the ending of the days".
"Time was fulfilled, but where was their Saviour? They had lost him. I was then shown the disappointment of the disciples as they came to the sepulchre and found not the body of Jesus. Said
Mary, They have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him. Angels told the sorrowing disciples that their Lord had risen, and would go before them into Galilee. I saw that as Jesus looked upon the disappointed ones with the deepest compassion, he sent his angels to direct their minds that they might find him, and follow him where he was; that they might understand that the earth is not the Sanctuary; that he must needs enter the Most Holy place of the heavenly Sanctuary to cleanse it; to make a special atonement for Israel, and to receive the kingdom of his Father, and then return to earth and take them to dwell with him forever".
Furthermore I dont see why i should care about plagiarism. What matters is sending a message, an understanding. its a message and understanding that other people before her had and that other people after her still continue to have. intellectual property simply is irrelevant when wanting to spread an understanding regarding religion, there is no "i, me" in the matter, there is nothing to own. Its absurd to claim others wont use it again, of course they will. All things we could understand has already been understood by somebody before us and will be understood by somebody after us who will want to say the same messages again. Its literally the point that we get the same conclusions over and over again and have a desire to talk about them with people again.
Lastly, but not relevant to the video i want to say that i think the 1858 edition does not confirm the trinity but instead keeps a distinct separation between the holy ghost, god and jesus. I think that separation makes sense, i reject the trinity based on it.
Our reply to the above comment from @jenzzuffer is as follows: You, having read Ellen's 1858 book many times have concluded from it: 1. that her interpretation of 1844 is correct about the Sanctuary 2. Plagiarism is not important & 3. Ellen White did not teach the Trinity in it. These seem to be the main reasons you believe her book is " a very strong book." We would argue that all three of these reasons are why Ellen White is a false prophet who is leading legions of people to eternal destruction. Ellen's investigative judgement is false - see www.truthorfables.com/investigative_judgment_made_simple.htm , 2. Plagiarism when speaking as "The Spirit of Prophecy" should not be necessary when you're claiming it is from God - see www.truthorfables.com/searchresults.html?q=plagiarism&t=1557173586196 . 3. Denying the Trinity is to deny the very God of the Bible.
1) There is one God (Deuteronomy 6:4; 1 Corinthians 8:4; Galatians 3:20; 1 Timothy 2:5).
2) The Trinity consists of three Persons (Genesis 1:1, 26; 3:22; 11:7; Isaiah 6:8, 48:16, 61:1; Matthew 3:16-17, 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14). In Genesis 1:1, the Hebrew plural noun "Elohim" is used. In Genesis 1:26, 3:22, 11:7 and Isaiah 6:8, the plural pronoun for “us” is used. The word "Elohim" and the pronoun “us” are plural forms, definitely referring in the Hebrew language to more than two. While this is not an explicit argument for the Trinity, it does denote the aspect of plurality in God. The Hebrew word for "God," "Elohim," definitely allows for the Trinity.
In Isaiah 48:16 and 61:1, the Son is speaking while making reference to the Father and the Holy Spirit. Compare Isaiah 61:1 to Luke 4:14-19 to see that it is the Son speaking. Matthew 3:16-17 describes the event of Jesus’ baptism. Seen in this passage is God the Holy Spirit descending on God the Son while God the Father proclaims His pleasure in the Son. Matthew 28:19 and 2 Corinthians 13:14 are other examples of passages that present three distinct Persons in the Trinity.
3) The members of the Trinity are distinguished one from another in various passages. In the Old Testament, “LORD” is distinguished from “Lord” (Genesis 19:24; Hosea 1:4). The LORD has a Son (Psalm 2:7, 12; Proverbs 30:2-4). The Spirit is distinguished from the “LORD” (Numbers 27:18) and from “God” (Psalm 51:10-12). God the Son is distinguished from God the Father (Psalm 45:6-7; Hebrews 1:8-9). In the New Testament, Jesus speaks to the Father about sending a Helper, the Holy Spirit (John 14:16-17). This shows that Jesus did not consider Himself to be the Father or the Holy Spirit. Consider also the other instances when Jesus speaks to the Father. Was He speaking to Himself? No. He spoke to another Person in the Trinity-the Father.
4) Each member of the Trinity is God. The Father is God (John 6:27; Romans 1:7; 1 Peter 1:2). The Son is God (John 1:1, 14; Romans 9:5; Colossians 2:9; Hebrews 1:8; 1 John 5:20). The Holy Spirit is God (Acts 5:3-4; 1 Corinthians 3:16).
5) There is subordination within the Trinity. Scripture shows that the Holy Spirit is subordinate to the Father and the Son, and the Son is subordinate to the Father. This is an internal relationship and does not deny the deity of any Person of the Trinity. This is simply something our finite minds cannot understand concerning the infinite God. Concerning the Son see Luke 22:42, John 5:36, John 20:21, and 1 John 4:14. Concerning the Holy Spirit see John 14:16, 14:26, 15:26, 16:7, and especially John 16:13-14.
6) The individual members of the Trinity have different tasks. The Father is the ultimate source or cause of the universe (1 Corinthians 8:6; Revelation 4:11); divine revelation (Revelation 1:1); salvation (John 3:16-17); and Jesus’ human works (John 5:17; 14:10). The Father initiates all of these things.
The Son is the agent through whom the Father does the following works: the creation and maintenance of the universe (1 Corinthians 8:6; John 1:3; Colossians 1:16-17); divine revelation (John 1:1, 16:12-15; Matthew 11:27; Revelation 1:1); and salvation (2 Corinthians 5:19; Matthew 1:21; John 4:42). The Father does all these things through the Son, who functions as His agent.
The Holy Spirit is the means by whom the Father does the following works: creation and maintenance of the universe (Genesis 1:2; Job 26:13; Psalm 104:30); divine revelation (John 16:12-15; Ephesians 3:5; 2 Peter 1:21); salvation (John 3:6; Titus 3:5; 1 Peter 1:2); and Jesus’ works (Isaiah 61:1; Acts 10:38). Thus, the Father does all these things by the power of the Holy Spirit.

John 14:6, "Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father but through Me."
Been revised many times so that's a red flag.
The USA is never mentioned in prophecy. Ellen also plagiarized a number of writers in her era.
That's great 👍
If you keep to the 1858 version of the Great Controversy you have only a small snippet of EGW's teaching and views of which she engendered in later revisions (1864, 1884, 1888, and 1911). You also only have a small snippet of the history of the church and its explanations of what happened in 1844. This view will leave you constricted in your grasp of Scripture.

Seventh-day Adventists do not seem to understand that true Christians do not need the teachings of their so-called "prophetess" Ellen G. White (born November 26, 1827) or her spiritual mentor William Miller (born February 15, 1782) who said, "My principles in brief, are, that Jesus Christ will come again to this earth, cleanse, purify, and take possession of the same, with all the saints, sometime between March 21, 1843, and March 21, 1844." Even though another Millerite follower named
Samuel S. Snow predicted the return of Christ on October 22, 1844 which
Ellen White also believed, all of these prophecies proved to be false
making all of these people false prophets (Deuteronomy 18:20-22,
"But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which
I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of
other gods, even that prophet shall die. 21 And if thou say in thine
heart, How shall we know the word which the Lord hath not spoken? 22
When a prophet speaketh in the name of the Lord, if the thing follow
not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the Lord hath not spoken,
but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid
of him."). Ellen G. White & the rest of them also violated Jesus'
words in Matthew 24:36,
"But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven,
but my Father only." True Christians throughout the centuries before
Ellen G. White have followed Jesus Christ faithfully through His Word (2
Timothy 3:15-17) thus invalidating the need for this woman completely. Matthew 7:15, "Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves." See our videos Former Seventh-day Adventist Pastor for 13 Years Gives His Testimony Why Adventism is Wrong & Is Sabbath Keeping Essential to Be a Real Christian? Former SDA Pastor Answers This Question. Titus 1:9-16
Doctrine Matters.
“Whatever else is contrary to the sound doctrine” (1 Timothy 1:9-10). In other words, true teaching promotes righteousness; sin flourishes where “the sound doctrine” is opposed.
Sound doctrine is important because we must ascertain truth in a world of falsehood. “Many false prophets have gone out into the world” (1 John 4:1). There are tares among the wheat and wolves among the flock (Matthew 13:25; Acts 20:29). The best way to distinguish truth from falsehood is to know what the truth is.
Sound doctrine is important because the end of sound doctrine is life. “Watch your life and doctrine closely. Persevere in them, because if you do, you will save both yourself and your hearers” (1 Timothy 4:16). Conversely, the end of unsound doctrine is destruction. “Certain men whose condemnation was written about long ago have secretly slipped in among you. They are godless men, who change the grace of our God into a license for immorality and deny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign and Lord” (Jude 1:4). Changing God’s message of grace is a “godless” thing to do, and the condemnation for such a deed is severe. Preaching another gospel (“which is really no gospel at all”) carries an anathema: “let him be eternally condemned!” (see Galatians 1:6-9).
Many oppose the "sound doctrine" of the Bible because they just don't like what God has to say & that really is the bottom line. See our videos on this at "Unpopular Bible Doctrines #1: The Biblical God No One Wants To Know" at th-cam.com/video/B8SzMIBlVdw/w-d-xo.html (in fact this only part 1 of a 16 hour series of "Unpopular Bible Doctrines" videos we have produced) & our video "Essential Bible Doctrines That Must Be Believed To Be A True Christian But Also Prove Who is False" at th-cam.com/video/RcziamJtSTg/w-d-xo.html . Titus 1:9, "holding fast the faithful word which is in accordance with the teaching, so that he will be able both to exhort in sound doctrine and to reprove those who contradict."
What a mean place to stop! I sure hope it wasn't deliberate!
Deborah Szafraniec - This video was just a short 10 minute clip from a much longer video called "Former Seventh-day Adventist Pastor for 13 Years Gives His Testimony Why Adventism is Wrong" at th-cam.com/video/c37bNhYzdbE/w-d-xo.html which even comes with a free written transcript at media-cloud.sermonaudio.com/text/79161824122.pdf. This 10 minute clip video is from a series of forty 10 minute clip videos we call "Quick Look Videos" we produced because we discovered that most people only have a 10 minute attention span or less. Thus this video cut off automatically around 10 minutes so nothing special was intended.

I agree, satan is the accuser of the brethren so are all is followers.
@@simongou9101 🤣🤣🤣🤣you must be sda sorry for you
It's great you have reveal the truth.... it's pretty amazing....to God be the glory 🙏🙏...let us stick to the Bible...
Agreed! The ONLY place to be - the Bible.
Well my surprise is that of people believing in Ellen as though she was God. I could hold on to faith but without the Bible leading, none of your church leaders prophets, prophetess or founders could shake me. This truth thing, the remnant, sabbath thing can be overwhelming sometimes. You can only pray because it is the very same word (bible) that creates all this mess we’re in. For the record, it is not the SDA, Islam or Catholic that is going to save us but through the blood and grace of God and abiding by his word. Pray that God saves your soul not the CHURCH!!!
I'm saying!!! The SEA doctrines are very problematic!
Regarding tithe, Ancient Israel was an agricultural nation and here is what GOD Told Israel tithe (a 10th) was and what to do with it - Deuteronomy 14:22, "You must be sure to set aside a tenth of all the - produce - brought forth each year from your fields. 23And you are to eat a tenth of your grain, new wine, and oil, and the firstborn of your herds and flocks, in The Presence Of THE LORD your GOD at the place where He Will Choose As A Dwelling For His Name, so that you may learn to fear THE LORD your GOD Always. 24But if the distance is too great for you to carry that with which the LORD your God has Blessed you, because the place where THE LORD your GOD Will Choose to put His Name is too far away, 25then exchange it for money, take the money in your hand, and go to the place where THE LORD your GOD Will Choose. 26Then you may spend the money on anything you desire: cattle, sheep, wine, strong drink, or anything you wish. You are to feast there in The Presence Of THE LORD your GOD And Rejoice with your household. 27And do not neglect the Levite within your gates, since he has no portion or inheritance among you. 28At the end of every three years, bring a tenth of all your - produce - for that year and lay it up within your gates. 29Then the Levite (because he has no portion or inheritance among you), the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widow within your gates may come and eat and be satisfied. And THE LORD your GOD Will Bless you in all the work of your hands." At the cross of Christ the Levitical Priesthood came to an end along with it's support system, the tithe. Under The New Covenant The Bible States what we are to do in regards to giving - 2 Corinthians 9:7 biblehub.com/text/2_corinthians/9-7.htm "not out of necessity (Law) but what we purpose in our hearts to give." In 1 Corinthians 3:16 we are Shown - "Do you not know that you yourselves Are GOD'S Temple, And that GOD'S SPIRIT (see John 4:24) Dwells in you?" And in 1 Peter 2:5, "...you also, like living stones, Are Being Built Into A Spiritual House (Temple) To Be A Holy Priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices Acceptable To GOD Through Christ." - biblehub.com/1_peter/2-5.htm

A SDA member said in reference to this 10 minute video the following, "I don't see scriptural evidence for just 'running down the pagans' without presenting Truth. Show me Truth with regards to this topic, from the Bible." Our response is as follows - "Are you making this declaration about "truth" based on this short 10 minute video?

2 Timothy 2:15, "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." The previous resources will be very valuable in an investigative study of whether Seventh-day Adventism is a Biblically true Gospel believing organization or if it is a false cultic religion peddling a false gospel invented by Ellen G. White & her associates thus violating Galatians 1:6-9, " I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed." The original Greek word for "accursed" is "anathema" which means "condemnation to Hell by the decree of God" & is consistent with other scriptural passages containing it: Acts 23:14 cf. David's oath in 2 Samuel 3:35, Romans 9:3, 1 Corinthians 12:3, 1 Corinthians 16:22).
Ellen G. White is a false prophet due to her false & failed prophecies (Deuteronomy 18:19-22); see www.mmoutreachinc.com/seventh_day_adventists/egw_false_prophet.html, 1timothy4-13.com/files/bible/sda_morefailed.html & www.bible.ca/7-prophecy-blunders.htm.
Ellen G. White had delusional dreams & visions much like phony Charismatic & Pentecostal TV preachers do today; see www.truthorfables.com/Visons_of_%20EGW_by_Snook_&_Brinkerhoff.htm & th-cam.com/video/Kbv7YsyMf0I/w-d-xo.html.
Seventh-day Adventism has a damnable false gospel (Galatians 1:6-10) for several reasons:
a) Satan is the final sin bearer for Seventh Day Adventists; see www.truthorfables.com/Scapegoat.htm & www.truthorfables.net/50-contradictions-satan-bears-sins.htm,
b) They say Jesus had a sinful nature just like fallen man otherwise He can't be a Savior; see kentbrandenburg.blogspot.com/2011/09/seventh-day-adventisms-anti.html & jesus-is-savior.com/False%20Religions/Seventh-Day%20Adventist/sda_exposed.htm,
c) Ellen G. White taught the cult doctrine of the 1844 investigative judgment of Jesus in the heavenly sanctuary for the purpose of allowing Seventh Day Adventists final access to heaven while all others would be destroyed; see www.truthorfables.com/investigative_judgment_made_simple.htm, www.truthorfables.com/white_elephant.htm, www.truthorfables.com/My_Testimony.htm, www.truthorfables.com/SDA_Cult.htm & th-cam.com/video/J50HlZFYHtY/w-d-xo.html,
d) Seventh-day Adventism denies the New Testament Christian gospel by saying Old Testament "Saturday" Sabbath keeping is essential for salvation; see www.truthorfables.com/Sabbath_Not_A_Law.htm, www.truthorfables.net/who-changed-the-sabbath-a.htm, www.truthorfables.com/Sabbath_is_Friday.htm & th-cam.com/video/w0L3rSSL_H8/w-d-xo.html,
e) Although SDAs say they believe in salvation by grace they redefine the meaning of grace in order to incorporate into their religious system a salvation by law keeping to achieve final works righteousness; mmoutreachinc.com/seventh_day_adventists/sda_law.html, searchingthescriptures.net/main_pages/answering_cults/seventh_day_adventism/sda_a_cult.htm & th-cam.com/video/aIh3T31ujuU/w-d-xo.html.
If the apostle Paul cursed the Galatian Judaizers to hell for adding only one stipulation to the gospel which was circumcision then how much more would he curse the SDAs for all their added terms & conditions to the simple gospel of grace (Ephesians 2:8-9, "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast." Cross reference this to Galatians 2:16, "Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.").

Of course all this study will take you longer than 10 minutes so you must think it can't be "true" in that case.

Do you have documentation on the plagiarism to which you referred?
Joella Koslowski - Ellen Gould Harmon was born on a small farm near the village of Gorham, Maine, on November 26, 1827. Only a few years after her birth, her parents Robert and Eunice Harmon gave up farming to move to the nearby town of Portland where her father became a hat maker. When Ellen was nine she was permanently disfigured when a fellow student maliciously hit her in the head with a rock. The rock put her into a coma that lasted several weeks and forced her to miss a long period of schooling. She did recover but many have argued that this head injury gave her delusions for her future life since it affected her brain. Regardless she was still able to function fairly normally into her old age while making a lot of money off of her religion business while owning three nice houses. Several of White's homes are historic sites. The first home that she and her husband owned is now part of the Historic Adventist Village in Battle Creek, Michigan. Her other homes are privately owned with the exception of her home in Cooranbong, Australia, which she named "Sunnyside," and her last home in Saint Helena, California, which she named "Elmshaven". These latter two homes are owned by the Seventh-day Adventist Church and the "Elmshaven" home is also a National Historic Landmark (source: Wikipedia).
For information about Ellen G. White's plagiarism - Ellen White's books/testimonies contain a large amount of material Mrs. White and her group of college educated secretaries plagiarized from non-inspired authors. She had a library of 1200 books to copy from. Ellen White did not give credit for her sources, while she led her followers to believe the material she wrote came from the throne of God. "In these letters which I write, in the testimonies I bear, I am presenting to you that which the Lord has presented to me. I do not write one article in the paper expressing merely my own ideas. They are what God has opened before me in vision--the precious rays of light shining from the throne." Testimonies for the Church Vol. 5 (1882-1889), page 67. See "The White Lie" by Walter Rea under Books.
Some of the major sources of Ellen White's writings: John Harris, The Great Teacher; Frederic Farrar, The Life of Christ; George Jones, Life-Scenes From the Four Gospels; Alfred Edersheim, The Life and Times of Jesus the Messiah; J. H. Ingraham, The Prince of the House of David; Francis Wayland, Salvation by Christ; and John Cumming, Sabbath Evening Readings on the New Testament: St. John.

@@CAnswersTV Thank you for your detailed response.
Who said that Ellen G. White is the prophet? Did she wrote a book that proclaimed she's a prophet not Jesus? What is a prophet means to u? 🙏
athalea Bandiola - Mrs. White says "I am just as dependent upon the spirit of the Lord in relating or writing a vision, as in having the vision."-Spiritual Gifts, Vol. 2, Page 293. This claim, if true, entitles her to equal authority with Isaiah, Jeremiah, John and Jesus Christ, and exalts her books to equality with the Bible. Is this a true claim? Are these visions given by inspiration of God? This is a very important question and deserves a serious and candid investigation. That they are believed by many, is no proof of their divinity. Mormonism and Spiritualism have many sincere believers. That there are some good things in them is not proof that they are of God. The visions of Sweedenborg contain many good things-so does the Koran-but nevertheless they are not of God. Besides all the good that is in any of the above revelations is borrowed from the Bible, the great foundation of good.

Someone quoted John 14:6, "Jesus saith unto him, I am the away, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.." & then said, "LIFT UP JESUS". Our response - Excellent advice. The problem you have here is 2 Corinthians 11:4, "For if someone comes and proclaims another Jesus than the one we proclaimed, or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received, or if you accept a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it readily enough." Satan promotes fake versions of Jesus & fake gospels so people will be deceived & end up in hell (see our playlist "Hell, Unpopular Bible Doctrines" with 61 videos at th-cam.com/play/PLE04A1D0DFE95B95E.html ) so you have to make sure it's the true Bible version of Jesus & the gospel that is being promoted (for more on that see our video called "IS JESUS GOD ALMIGHTY IN THE FLESH MEANING THE SECOND PERSON OF THE TRINITY OR IS HE SOMETHING ELSE?" at th-cam.com/video/_BlPm7M7uv8/w-d-xo.html ).

Here's a few examples of the Devil's fake versions of Jesus:
*Seventh-day Adventists say Jesus is not the final sin bearer for sinners but Satan is, see www.truthorfables.com/Scapegoat.htm & our video "Cult Doctrine of Seventh-day Adventism: 1844 Probation & Satan As A Final Sin Bearer for Adventists" at th-cam.com/video/J50HlZFYHtY/w-d-xo.html .

See also our playlist "Dealing with Seventh-day Adventism & Their "Prophetess" with 55 videos at th-cam.com/play/PL5316CC6F66F24283.html ).
*Roman Catholics say Jesus becomes a piece of bread during the Roman mass & thus should be worshiped in the form of bread as Jesus; that Jesus is stern & austere thus it is better to pray to Mary & other saints to get better results (see our playlist "Dealing with Roman Catholicism, Idolatry & the Virgin Mary" with 219 videos at th-cam.com/play/PLFFA8D69D1B914715.html ).
*Jehovah's Witnesses say Jesus is not God in the flesh but was created as the Archangel Michael (see our playlist "Dealing with Jehovah's Witnesses, Watchtower Society" with 56 videos at th-cam.com/play/PLCF0ADB29C0EB8C40.html ).
*Mormons say Jesus is one of millions of gods & was created by sex between the god Elohim & Mary (see our playlist "Dealing with Mormonism, The Con Man Religion of Joseph Smith, Jr. with 51 videos at th-cam.com/play/PL11CD0EE613306BB5.html ).
*Muslims say Jesus is a prophet but certainly not God in the flesh or the Son of God & that Jesus was never crucified (see our playlist "Dealing with Islam, Muslims: Sunni, Shi'ite, Alawites, Sufis" with 98 videos at th-cam.com/play/PL1C7F68B548009FDD.html ).
*Jews say Jesus is not the Messiah, was a false prophet & blasphemer, is now in hell & was the bastard son of Mary & a Roman soldier (see our video "Babylonian Talmud is a Jewish Law & Oral Tradition Book of over 10 million Words Across 38 Volumes" at th-cam.com/video/ZtvgDGUwmYs/w-d-xo.html ).
*Christian Scientists say Jesus was not the Christ or God but just a man (an idea that Mary had) who displayed the Christ idea or principle of living (see our video "NEW AGE HEALING CULT OF MARY BAKER EDDY: "CHRISTIAN SCIENCE" - NEITHER CHRISTIAN NOR SCIENTIFIC" at th-cam.com/video/H7bsJy649L8/w-d-xo.html ).
*Moonies say Jesus was a failure & got crucified before he could complete his mission of getting married to a woman therefore Rev. Sun Myung Moon had to come out of Korea & complete Jesus' mission on earth (see our various videos on Moon's religion beginning with our video "Moonstruck: Rev. Moon's "Church" #1: History & Teachings of Moon's Cult" at th-cam.com/video/mr73BZJd0Hg/w-d-xo.html ).
*Hindus say Jesus was a guru & an incarnation of a Hindu god Vishnu & Jesus does not atone for sins among the 300 million other gods (see our videos on Hinduism on our playlist "Dealing with AntiChrist Cults, "New Age" & World Religions with 84 videos at th-cam.com/play/PL69A3047B3497590A.html ).

Naturally, if you have the wrong Jesus this will result in damning your soul to hell while at the same time the false Jesus will also feed you a false gospel. Galatians 1:6-9, "6 I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel- 7 not that there is another one, but there are some who trouble you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed. 9 As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed."
There is a cosmic war currently going on between the God of the Bible & Satan so always remember the following, 2 Corinthians 11:13-15, " 13 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. 14 No wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. 15 Therefore it is not surprising if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their deeds." & 1 Peter 5:8, "Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour."
Hopefully now, John 14:6. "6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the away, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." has much greater significance to you.
The Bible tells us a great deal about Jesus. Following is a list of some of what Scripture teaches about Him.
He is prayed to, Acts 7:55-60; 1 Cor. 1:2 with Psalm 116:4; John 14:14
He is worshiped, Matt. 2:2,11; 14:33; John 9:35-38; Heb. 1:6
He cleanses from sin, 1 John 1:9
He forgives sins, Matt. 9:1-7; Luke 5:20; 7:48
He is the image of the invisible God, Heb. 1:3
He gives eternal life, John 10:28
He has all authority, Matthew 28:18
He is the light of the world, John 8:12
He came to save, John 3:17
He came to die and destroy Satan’s power, Heb. 2:14
John 20:28, “Thomas answered and said to Him, ‘My Lord and my God!'”
Col. 2:9, “For in Him all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form.”
Heb. 1:8, “But of the Son He says, “Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever…”

This "Quick Look" 10 minute video short is taken from our original 47 minute video called "Former Seventh-day Adventist Pastor for 13 Years Gives His Testimony Why Adventism is Wrong" with over 258,000 viewings at th-cam.com/video/c37bNhYzdbE/w-d-xo.html.

@Sami Jo - Because the Seventh-day Adventist religious sect is not a Christian church but rather is a false Ellen G. White cult (see our playlist at th-cam.com/play/PL5316CC6F66F24283.html) they have treated you shamefully in refusing to baptize you. You need to find a true Bible believing church where you can get baptized. Remember Christ came into the world to save man from his sinfulness. The Holy Spirit is well able to deliver us from the works of the flesh. Notice Ephesians1: 12-13 the reason why this word is important is so you have God’s word and you stand there on it. We are sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, and the very moment you believe, summons the very birth the new birth, and your body then becomes that moment a temple of the Holy Spirit, because he then that moment brings the new birth and indwells the believer. So stand upon this rock this Word of truth, and cause your mind to be renewed by it, say I am sealed with the Holy Spirit of promised because I heard the word of truth the gospel of my salvation and I have the word of God on it, in Jesus name.
Notice John 3: 8 ”The wind blows where it pleases and you hear the sound thereof, but you cannot tell from where it comes or where it goes, So is everyone who is born of the Spirit."
Now lets bring our minds to 1 Corinthians 12: 13 and again stand here, God has subjected us to the justification that is through faith, Each one of these verses are filled with faith. There is no word that is void of power and faith. So glean the faith through believing, you have a God given right because you believed unto justification of life when you believed that God raised Jesus from the dead, therefore being just in God sight you get to have the mighty Holy Spirit strengthening you in the inner man so Christ can dwell in your hearts by faith.
Now the faith of this word should have you strong because of it and you should be thanking God and praising His Holy name. By one Spirit are we all baptized into one body (the LORD’s Body) whether Jews or Gentiles, bond or free, (anyone who will believe) ad have all been made to drink into “One Spirit” This didn’t happen right now when you read it, it happened when you first heard and believed, Ephesians 1: 12-13, What you are able to do right now is renew your mind with it.
Get your mind to rest here, and go on to the next place of faith. Let it be settled as freely as God so gave it to you and know that God loves you and loves you and some more love and more and them more every morning His steadfast love is new (if you have been indeed been supernaturally "born again" by God as Jesus must happen first - John 3:3-8, Romans 8:1-17, etc.).
Now if God did not spare His Only Son but offered Him up for us, will he not also with Him give us freely all things, Romans 8: 32 and Ephesians 1: 3 and 1: 17-19. Notice what we are to do when we believe 2 Corinthians 4: 13 and do it all the time when you find a promise in His Word, Hebrews 9: 16-17 and 1 Corinthians 11: 26.
The Bible never directly mentions smoking. There are principles, however, that definitely apply to smoking. First, the Bible commands us not to allow our bodies to become "mastered" by anything. "Everything is permissible for me-but not everything is beneficial. Everything is permissible for me-but I will not be mastered by anything" (1 Corinthians 6:12). Smoking is undeniably strongly addictive. Later in the same passage we are told, "Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body" (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). Smoking is undoubtedly very bad for your health. Smoking has been proven to damage the lungs and the heart.
Can smoking be considered "beneficial" (1 Corinthians 6:12)? Can it be said that smoking is truly honoring God with your body (1 Corinthians 6:20)? Can a person honestly smoke "for the glory of God" (1 Corinthians 10:31)? We believe that the answer to these three questions is a resounding "no." As a result, we believe that smoking is a sin and therefore should not be practiced by followers of Jesus Christ.
Some argue against this view by pointing to the fact that many people eat unhealthy foods, which can be just as addicting and just as bad for the body. As an example, many people are so helplessly addicted to caffeine that they cannot function without their first cup of coffee in the morning. While this is true, how does that make smoking right? It is our contention that Christians should avoid gluttony and excessively unhealthy eating. Yes, Christians are often hypocritical by condemning one sin and condoning another, but, again, this does not make smoking honoring to God.
Another argument against this view of smoking is that many godly men have been smokers, such as the famous British preacher C.H. Spurgeon, who was known to smoke cigars. Again, we do not believe this argument holds any weight. We believe Spurgeon was wrong for smoking. Was he otherwise a godly man and fantastic teacher of God's Word? Absolutely! Does that make all of his actions and habits honoring to God? No.
In stating that smoking is a sin, we are not stating that all smokers are unsaved. There are many true believers in Jesus Christ who smoke. Smoking does not prevent a person from being saved. Nor does it cause a person to lose salvation. Smoking is no less forgivable than any other sin, whether for a person becoming a Christian or a Christian confessing his/her sin to God (1 John 1:9). At the same time, we firmly believe that smoking is a sin that should be forsaken and, with God’s help, overcome.

What was the 1st religion? I affiliate w/ none as to not he falsely undoctrinated. I was born into a cult & said never again; I only got out due to my open mind & my brother telling me to do my research (which that church condemns). Now I believe in a personal relationship w/ God through his word. However the Bible says do not forsake the gathering. So I am not sure what is best.
A.Pal - Going by the Bible as the standard for truth we see in the early chapters of Genesis that Adam & Eve had the very first religious experience of seeing that God the Creator was there among them. The Bible goes on to tell the rest of the story all the way through the book of Revelation. I think your brother was on the right track when he said "do your research" which is not condemned by anyone who has a truly Biblical worldview despite what various "churches" might tell you. After all the Bible says, "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." (2 Timothy 2:15). Our ministry has spent the last 40 years researching what various religions teach in contrast to what the Bible teaches so we can help people not get duped by false prophets (see our main TH-cam channel with it's 19 playlists on numerous topics at www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=canswerstv & our video called "CAnswersTV is Christian Answers Television, 19 Playlists, 800 Videos: The Bible vs. False Prophets" at th-cam.com/video/8Rc-k8HcfiE/w-d-xo.html .
You are right about Hebrews 10:25, "not abandoning our own meeting together, as is the habit of some people, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near." but how can you do that if you don't know who is true & who is false? You have to study, research & know what the Bible teaches before you join just any group or church. Our ministry doesn't try to get anyone to join a particular church but rather we preach that people should know their Bibles (which is a shield against false prophets). Besides that our ministry doesn't beg people for money either. Thus get a good understanding of what the Bible teaches then find a good Bible church to associate with (that's what I did when I was supernaturally "born again" (John 3:3-8) back on May 16, 1981). May the Lord bless your studies. 2 Timothy 3:16-17, "All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work."
@@CAnswersTV Thank you very much for your reply & thoughtful scriptures. These things are in my prayers😊 I agree about a Bible based church. I recently heard about the Jews who do believe in Jesus. I hadn't heard of them before. They formed a group in Israel incorporating the old/original teachings from the scrolls.
@@TheSleuthFairy - What you are talking about is sometimes called Messianic Judaism, also known as Hebrew Christianity. It is a movement within Judaism where Jews believe in Jesus of the New Testament and consider Him the Messiah who was prophesied in the Old Testament such as : The Messiah would be born in Bethlehem (Micah 5:1-2).
The Messiah would be born of a virgin (Isaiah 7:14). The Messiah would be God in flesh (Isaiah 9:6; Zech. 12:10). The Messiah will be borne to the house of David (Jeremiah 23: 5-6). The Messiah would be killed for the sins of Israel ( Isaiah 53:1-10). The Messiah would rise from the dead (Psalm 16:10).
Messianic Jews believe that Jesus is the Son of God, the second person of the Trinity. However, some who claim to be Messianics deny that Jesus is God in the flesh. These are not true Messianics in the biblical sense, since they are denying who Jesus really is (John 1:1,14; Colossians 2:9; Hebrews 1:8).
Messianic Jews also retain most of the Old Testament Jewish practices as described in the Old Testament (i.e. Saturday Sabbath, circumcision, kosher laws, holy days, rabbis, etc.) because they desire to hold onto their Jewish roots and honor God according to what is revealed in the Old Testament. Where Jesus practiced the Old Testament Law (Matt. 5:17; Gal. 4:4), Messianic Jews do too. This is fine, as long as their keeping of the Old Testament laws are not a means by which salvation is attained or maintained.
Messianics usually refer to Jesus by the Jewish name of “Yeshua,” which means “salvation.” But, generally, Messianic Jews do not believe in abandoning their Jewish heritage and joining Christian churches and worshipping on Sunday - though some do. They believe it is the most Jewish thing to follow Yeshua in a manner consistent with their heritage and attend synagogues on Saturday.
There are many variations within the movement of Messianic Judaism. Some are within Christian orthodoxy, and some are not. There are approximately 100,000 Messianic Jews in America alone, with more and more coming to believe in Yeshua the Messiah in other nations.
Something to watch out for are a couple of cultic movements that have attached themselves with the Jews in a bogus way: the Hebrew Roots Movement (HRM) - see our videos: "Divine Curse of the Hebrew Roots Movement - Replacing Jesus with the Old Testament Jewish Torah" at th-cam.com/video/wdTxde_shDQ/w-d-xo.html & "Torah Cult of the Hebrew Roots Movement: Responding to Wolves in Old Testament Mosaic Law Clothing" at th-cam.com/video/VnQFmSlgKpM/w-d-xo.html ; & the other cultic movement is the Black Hebrew Israelites, see our video "Myths of the Black Hebrew Israelites: Theological Racism, Black King James Only, Apocrypha, Whites" at th-cam.com/video/9TiqBceXoH8/w-d-xo.html . To see what modern day Judaism teaches see our video called "Babylonian Talmud is a Jewish Law & Oral Tradition Book of over 10 million Words Across 38 Volumes" at th-cam.com/video/ZtvgDGUwmYs/w-d-xo.html .
May God bless your studies. 1 Peter 3:15
Where two or three gather together in my name my authority I will be in the midst of them
That's the foundation of every local called out assembly.
As a former SDA I will say this...The truth or falseness of Ellen G Whites writings is irrelevant. Most Adventists span the spectrum of being ignorant of her writings to downright dismissive of them. I just interacted with a Minister of a church I once attended (which my parents still attend) who does not know a single piece of writing from her.
Adventists will retreat to the vague interpretations of the Bible which the other 2000 + denominations of Christianity hide behind. What is the point of a belief which specifically states that Ellen G White provides Guidance and Correction on those interpretations, when Adventists ignore them?
PS 147:19-20 ""He shewed His word unto Jacob, His statutes and His judgments unto Israel [not the Gentles]
He has not dealt so with any other nation: and as for His judgments, they have not known them. Praise you the LORD." The Law was given to the Jews not the Gentles. ACTS 15:24 "Forasmuch as we [the Apostles] have heard, that certain ones which went out from us have troubled you [Gentles] with words, subverting your souls, saying, You must be circumcised, and keep the Law: to whom we gave no such commandment:" ACTS 15:28-29 For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you [Gentles] no greater burden than these necessary things; That you abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if you keep yourselves, you shall do well. Fare you well."
Gentles are a law unto themselves says ROM 2:14 who have similar moral laws as says the 10 Commandments but not exactly the same [no Sabbath law] It is by this moral code written in the heart of the Gentles that the Gentles are convicted of sin and therefore their need for Christ.
Hey CAnswersTV could I interview you on my program. Dale as you know, has just passed away and I’d love to chat about your memories of him and also your thoughts! Your honest thoughts! On adventism :)
Thanks for the offer but I'll have to pass due to a tight schedule however if you want to know my thoughts regarding Dale's passing I did send an email to his ministry at lifeassuranceministries@gmail.com saying the following - "Hello Colleen & Life Assurance Ministries, I'm always saddened when the Lord takes home one of his great warriors for his Gospel but at the same time I am happy that they are now at rest with their beloved Lord & Savior & that we will see them later in Glory so the separation is only temporary. In the meantime those of us who remain on this planet carry on the battle for the truth of the Gospel.
The exciting thing is through Dale's books, ministry publications, websites & internet videos he still carries on the fight for truth as if he were still alive among us! Not counting Life Assurance Ministries resources & videos our ministry Christian Answers of Austin, Texas/ Christian Debater produced five videos with Dale when he came here to Austin in 2014 to visit us. Here are the five full length videos with the number of viewings as of the time of this writing (January 7, 2024):

For much more on this see our video "Is Sabbath Keeping Essential to Be a Real Christian? Former SDA Pastor Answers This Question" at th-cam.com/video/w0L3rSSL_H8/w-d-xo.html. I’ve always thought this was a very interesting verse: “he not only had broken the sabbath….” John 5:18. Here we are told by the Apostle John that Jesus Christ “had broken the sabbath.” That is because in John 5:17 Jesus himself said that he works on the Sabbath - “But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.” His work was that of healing the sick.
So Jesus confessed to working on the Sabbath, thus he “had broken the sabbath” and consequently the Jews sought to kill him.
But we know that Jesus Christ never sinned. It was not a sin for Jesus to work on the sabbath. How can that be? How can it be that Jesus Christ broke the sabbath and never sinned?
The answer is the difference between the letter of the law and the spirit of the law. While the letter of the law forbids working on the sabbath, the spirit of the law is love. Love is the fulfillment of the law. And for Jesus to work on the sabbath by healing the sick, he was violating the letter of the law but fulfilling the spirit of the law.
The pharisees falsely accused Jesus Christ of sinning because they were legalistic and stuck on the letter of the law that they completely forgot what the law was all about - the good of people through love. The sabbath was instituted for man’s good, not so that men like Jesus could not help men by healing. As Jesus said, “Then said Jesus unto them, I will ask you one thing; Is it lawful on the sabbath days to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy it?” Luke 6:9
The letter of the law forbids all work on the sabbath and yet the spirit of the law would allow and even demand that Doctors, Police, Pastors, Street Preachers, etc, would work on the Sabbath. It is about love - the spirit of the law, not the letter of the law. But when anyone so pushes the letter of the law to the violation of the spirit of the law, they fall into the trap of legalism and commit the sins of the Pharisees.
Jesus Christ broke the sabbath by working and yet did not sin for the same reason that David did that which was not lawful and how the priests profane the sabbath yet were blameless:
“But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was an hungred, and they that were with him; How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the shewbread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them which were with him, but only for the priests? Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless?” Matt. 12:3-5 See also our video "Sabbath Keeping Is Not Required For New Testament Christians: Seventh-Day Adventists Beware" at th-cam.com/video/TEFt4TOR6E8/w-d-xo.html.
1 Peter 3:15
SDA buried any evidence……..look up who was Grace Amadon! Missionary for SDA , Biologist teacher musician wrote for the Lord hymns, She was a genius and was on that board for five years she was also an astronomer just she was so good that the Navy asked her opinion on things all the time look her up she left SDA when she found out the truth
ADVENTISM AND THE SABBATH: When the Truth Started as a Lie. Part 4 at regenerationandrepentance.wordpress.com/tag/adventism-and-the-sabbath-when-the-truth-started-as-a-lie-part-4/ . As the Research Committee shifted from October 22, 1844, to focus on the crucifixion date, they quickly and clearly saw the full ramifications of what they were dealing with. It is here that the research, led by Grace Amadon, quickly began to deteriorate. It was of the utmost importance for them to be able to establish a crucifixion date in AD 31. However, in order to do this and still keep a Saturday Sabbath, certain principles of luni-solar calendation had to be skewed. Various papers in the Grace Amadon Collection reveal the different ways the committee, led by Amadon, attempted to resolve the problem, from trying to put the crucifixion on the 15th of Abib, to, finally, creating a translation period (when no moon can be seen) that was far too long to be astronomically feasible.
From the papers preserved in the Amadon Collection, it appears that the Research Committee discussed the implications of presenting the church with the truth of the Biblical calendar. In an undated letter to Grace Amadon, M. L. Andreasen outlined the difficulties that must be expected if they should report the truth: the Biblical week does not have a continuous weekly cycle and certainly does not align with the modern weekly cycle.
It would not be easy to explain to the people that the God who advocated and instituted such an arrangement would be very concerned about the exact seventh day.
If an explanation were possible, and the people were at last adjusted to the shift in the feast day and the stability of the seventh day, it might be supposed that in time they would get used to the arrangement. But they would no sooner have become accustomed to this, till another shift is made. Now they shift back to where they were before.
But neither is this settled or stationary. Another shift comes, and another and another. Now Denver observes the day before Omaha does, then it observes the same day. Now Omaha and Chicago observe the same day, but at another time a different day. There is no uniformity, and just as the people get used to a certain arrangement the day is changed again. Such is more than the common people can understand, and if we go to the people now with such a proposition, we must expect that confusion will result. And our enemies will not be slow to point out the difficulties and ring the changes on them. -M. L. Andreasen, undated letter to Grace Amadon, Grace Amadon Collection, Box 2, Folder 4, Center
Because the Biblical weekly cycle restarts with every New Moon, the Biblical Sabbath appears to “float” through the modern Gregorian week. Sometimes being on Monday; the next month on Tuesday; the month after on Thursday, etc. This is the constant “shift” to which Andreasen is referring in his statements.
In the end, the difficulties of presenting a new calendar by which to calculate the seventh-day Sabbath seemed overwhelming. Andreasen urged that the resulting confusion would be only detrimental to the church and for that reason, it should not be pursued.
If in the new calendar scheme we are considering adopting it should be admitted that local communities have the right of making their own observations that would determine the New Year, it would yet remain a question if the proper men competent for such observation would be available. . . . Let not the people observing God’s holy day sponsor a calendar that means confusion, and make our work unnecessarily hard. For while the proposed scheme does not in any way affect the succession of the days of the week, and hence does not affect the Sabbath, nevertheless if the people observing the Sabbath also advocates the new scheme of calendation, the resulting confusion will not be of any help to us.
. . . While the whole matter would ultimately become adjusted, it would certainly make for confusion. Seventh-day Adventists will soon have enough matters on their hands so that it will not be necessary to make trouble for ourselves before the time. The blank day may yet confront us. We cannot afford to start trouble of our own. To the world it will look that the present proposed calendar is advanced for a specific purpose - not for the purpose of adoption, for we will find that it is impossible of universal application - not for the purpose of supporting the 1844 date. I do not believe that we are under that necessity. It must be possible to establish October 22, 1844, without resorting to such devices. -M. L. Andreasen, undated letter to Grace Amadon, Grace Amadon Collection, Box 2, Folder 4, Center for Adventist Research, Andrews University, emphasis supplied.
This is not intellectual honesty! It is intellectual cowardice. Truth remains the same, regardless of the reaction against it. Andreasen was most eloquent in his arguments in favor of staying silent about the effect the Biblical calendar has on the weekly seventh-day Sabbath. He wrote a number of letters in which he urged the Research Committee to remain silent on the subject. See our video "Is Sabbath Keeping Essential to Be a Real Christian?

I was able to get a copy of all of the files from Andrews University on the Grace Amadon meetings. I think they took them all down from public view at this point. It basically concluded that the true sabbath of the Hebrews was based on the new moon and was a moving target every month and not based on The seven day Gregorian calendar.
The 10 commandments were only given to the nation of Israel living in the regional land that was given to them by God. The fourth commandment of Sabbath keeping was never meant to be kept throughout all time from Adam to the end of the world. The regional differences on the earth's surface prove that. For example, could Jewish Eskimos living in Alaska keep the Sabbath day as written in Moses' law? This shows that the Sabbath was a regional, temporary command for Israel and not for the world. Interesting problem in Alaska. According to the official SDA sunset calculator, on Friday eve, May 30th, in Prudhoe Bay,
Alaska, the sun set below the horizon, bringing with it the Jewish Shabbat, at 11:38 PM, almost midnight. Note: AK is so far west, it is on Hawaiian time.
Here is the quote:
Calculations for: Longitude: -148.34000 Latitude: 70.27000 Prudhoe Bay,
Alaska Time Zone: Hawaiian Standard Time, HSTDate: 5/30/03 Friday
Sunrise: 0:07am HST (sunrise Friday morning)Sunset: 11:38pm
HST (sunset, Friday night, becoming sabbath)
Next, we find sunrise on Sabbath, May 31st, actually starts before
midnight Friday night and el sol invictus stays up all day Sabbath, and
into Sabbath night, and into Sunday morning, and into Sunday night, for
the next two months!
Date: 5/31/03 Sunrise: Sun above horizon HST Sunset: Sun above horizon
HST (meaning the sun never sets). Meaning: if you live and work in
Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, extracting dino remains buried and liquified by
Noah's flood less than 4500 years ago, you have a problem! (no!! dummy!
not the recent age of the earth!)... you have to quit working!
Because on Friday night, May 30th, when the sun went down at 11:38,
bringing in the holy Lord's day, you had to stop working, thou, and thy
manservant, and thy maidservant, and all the strangers within thy
igloo. But the sun came up again on Sabbath just a few minutes later,
but never went down after that!!!
As I scribble this nonsense it is still Sabbath in Prudhoe Bay...cause
the sun never went down....no Saturday sunset. So if you believe
literally that you must keep sabbath from sunset on Friday night to
Sabbath sunset.....the next day, Sabbath, did NOT have a sunset this
summer! Won't be a sunset for another two months! So you are faced with
keeping Sabbath for two months straight, and giving up your job with
Exxon! Unless of course, you are the camp padre, trying to spread the
word that black gold comes from dead dinos who missed the ark, or in the
medical profession raking in piles of dough and salving your conscience
by paying plenty of tithe to keep the hired-archy gainfully employed.
Seventh Day Adventists follow their false prophetess Ellen G. White (a
woman authority over her religious followers which violates 1 Timothy 2:12,
"But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the
man, but to be in silence.") & her idol of Sabbath keeping for
salvation requirement (violating Galatians 1:6-9) rather than what the
Bible plainly teaches about Sabbath keeping for New Testament believers.

Titus 1:9-16
Do the leaders fly around in $20-50 M planes. Haven't seen on the Nat.
According to the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists records (see www.glassdoor.com/Salary/General-Conference-of-Seventh-Day-Adventists-Salaries-E262451.htm - if the link does not appear then do a regular google search using "General-Conference-of-Seventh-Day-Adventists-Salaries" which should bring it up) the highest paid Seventh-day Adventists working for that business are Cyber Security Analysts at $81,000 to $88,000, Family Physicians at $80,000 to $86,000, Communications Projects Managers at $71,000 to $78,000, Chief Operating Officers/Administrative Directors at $62,000 to $66,000 & Administrative Assistants at $53,000 to $57,000. The median pay of an Adventist working for the businesses of the Seventh-day Adventist organization in general (source: www.payscale.com/research/US/Employer=Seventh_Day_Adventist/Salary) is $51,000. I could not find records for how much the very top leaders of the Seventh-day Adventist religion make in salary however the SDA religion does take in about 2 billion in cash a year just in tithes & offerings alone, not counting the money they take in from their businesses (source: news.adventist.org/en/all-news/news/go/2012-04-02/is-the-adventist-church-not-realizing-12-billion/). Based on statistics shown above Seventh-day Adventists who work for the SDA organization are very wealthy compared to most people in the world. Jesus said in Matthew 19:24, "Again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God." “Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them, Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.” -Luke 13:23-24. Do you understand the question in the above Scripture? “Lord, are there few that be saved?” Someone came to Jesus and wanted to know if “few” people were saved. It's interesting that the person didn't ask if “many” people were saved. Evidently the person had been listening to Jesus' preaching and became convinced that few people were really saved.
National statistics show that even the poorest Americans living in the United States have a better net income than most of the rest of the world. For instance, according to Forbes magazine, June 1, 2013, the bottom 5% of United States citizens are richer than 68% of people living throughout the rest of the world; U.S. citizens who make $50,000 a year are richer than 99.69% of the people in the rest of the world; U.S. citizens who make $20,000 a year are richer than 96% of the people in the rest of the world, U.S. citizens who make $10,000 a year are richer than 84% of the people in the rest of the world; U.S. citizens who make $100,000 a year are in a category that only 8 out of every 10,000 people achieve in the entire world. Will it be difficult for rich Americans who don't think they're rich to enter into the kingdom of heaven? Jesus already gave the answer. For more on this hear "Those Whom God Hates He Is Often Pleased To Give Plenty Of Earthly Things To, Edwards" at www.sermonaudio.com/sermoninfo.asp?SID=427121150346 by the well known theologian Jonathan Edwards who also preached the most famous sermon on North American soil called, "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" at www.sermonaudio.com/sermoninfo.asp?SID=770213541. The best way to interpret the Bible is with the Bible. God said what He meant and meant what He said. Let the Bible speak for itself. Jesus answered the question in Luke 13:24 with the following words...“...for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.” Most of the people in this world are going straight to Hell when they die because they have not been born again (hear "Few Saved From A Burning Hell" by E.A. Johnston at www.sermonaudio.com/sermoninfo.asp?SID=3514145121). Lies and deception are everywhere! "TRUE BELIEVERS & NON BELIEVERS ACCORDING TO THE GOSPEL OF THE REFORMATION: WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?" at th-cam.com/video/3_dN0oC57Rk/w-d-xo.html). It's not just millionaires & world leaders but many lesser wealthy persons who exceed the vast majority of mankind in money & possessions (Luke16:19-31 is a good example of this in the parable of the rich man & Lazarus).

Matthew 7:15
Works based salvation =
Romans 9:30-33 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith.
But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.
Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone;
As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
Powerful passage to decapitate this cult doctrines of dead works.
How do we explain the books that will be open at judgement? doesn't that prove investigative judgement to a great extent? How will the names be in there if there is no pre-judgement>?
By way of contrast with SDA Investigative Judgement to the books that will be open at judgement see the following links: blog.lifeassuranceministries.org/2019/10/10/new-improved-investigative-judgment/ & blog.lifeassuranceministries.org/2019/08/15/i-have-found-my-rest/ . The “Day of Judgment” is a future event promised in Scripture where God will bring about final justice and condemnation on all those who are still in their sins while delivering those who are in Christ into the joys of eternal life. It is the day on which God will sentence unbelievers to eternal torment in hellfire while preserving the repentant who believes on Jesus Christ solely on the basis of the sacrificial work of Jesus on their behalf through His death on the cross for sin. What is the Day of Judgment?
Most of the New Testament writers who refer to the day of judgment by name seem to assume that the reader already knows what it is. In the Gospel of Matthew, for example, Jesus says things like: “Then He began to denounce the cities in which most of His miracles were done, because they did not repent. ‘Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles had occurred in Tyre and Sidon which occurred in you, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. Nevertheless I say to you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judgment than for you. And you, Capernaum, will not be exalted to heaven, will you? You will descend to Hades; for if the miracles had occurred in Sodom which occurred in you, it would have remained to this day. Nevertheless, I say to you that it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for you,” (Matthew 11:20-24).
He does not define the day. He assumes that His audience already knows what it is. Yet, even here, there are important clues about this day. It is clearly a future day of great importance. What’s more, the people of ancient Sodom and Gomorrah from way back in the time of Abraham, the people of Tyre and Sidon “long ago,” and the people of the towns of Chorazin and Bethsaida of Jesus’ own day would all stand together to be judged on this same day of judgment. So, even if this were all we had to go on, we would pretty easily come to the conclusion that we are talking about a final day of judgment before God upon all people of all times.
Jesus and the New Testament authors seem to have largely felt no need to explicitly define the day of judgment because it was language already well-known in their day. The phrase “day of judgment” occurs rather frequently in Jewish writings of the New Testament era and before, such as in the apocalyptic Esdras literature, where we read:
“But the day of judgment will be the end of this age and the beginning of the immortal age to come, in which corruption has passed away, sinful indulgence has come to an end, unbelief has been cut off, and righteousness has increased and truth has appeared. Therefore no one will then be able to have mercy on someone who has been condemned in the judgment, or to harm someone who is victorious,” (2 Esdras 7:113-115, NRSV).
Or in the apocryphal Book of Judith, which states:
“Woe to the nations that rise up against my people! The Lord Almighty will take vengeance on them in the day of judgment; he will send fire and worms into their flesh; they shall weep in pain forever,” (Judith 16:17, NRSV).
Still, when Paul is preaching in Athens to a pagan, gentile audience with no background in Jewish thought, he does explicitly explain:
“Therefore having overlooked the times of ignorance, God is now declaring to men that all people everywhere should repent, because He has fixed a day in which He will judge the world in righteousness through a Man whom He has appointed, having furnished proof to all men by raising Him from the dead,” (Acts 17:30-31).
Peter, likewise, uses rather vivid language in his second letter, writing:
“Know this first of all, that in the last days mockers will come with their mocking, following after their own lusts, and saying, ‘Where is the promise of His coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all continues just as it was from the beginning of creation.’ For when they maintain this, it escapes their notice that by the word of God the heavens existed long ago and the earth was formed out of water and by water, through which the world at that time was destroyed, being flooded with water. But by His word the present heavens and earth are being reserved for fire, kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men,” (2 Peter 3:3-7).
The language of complete judgment over all creation and the comparison to the flood of Noah give us a powerful picture of the complete extent of this judgment. We likewise know from Jude that this will be a day when not only men but also fallen angels are judged:
“And angels who did not keep their own domain, but abandoned their proper abode, He has kept in eternal bonds under darkness for the judgment of the great day,” (Jude 6).
Peter is, however, clear that the godly will be rescued on this day while the wicked are left to destruction:
“the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from temptation, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment for the day of judgment, and especially those who indulge the flesh in its corrupt desires and despise authority,” (2 Peter 2:9-10).
The Means of Escape
The day of judgment is a serious matter of great importance in Scripture. Paul urgently warns:
“But because of your stubbornness and unrepentant heart you are storing up wrath for yourself in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God, who will render to each person according to his deeds,” (Romans 2:5-11).
Yet He also points to our way of escape:
“For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will hardly die for a righteous man; though perhaps for the good man someone would dare even to die. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him,” (Romans 5:6-9).
The death of Christ has delivered those who believe from judgment and condemnation. We likewise read in the Gospel of John:
“As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up; so that whoever believes will in Him have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God,” (John 3:14-18).
It is not our efforts, but rather through looking in faith to Christ and His sacrifice that we are saved from condemnation and judgment. John goes on to write in his first letter:
“Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. We have come to know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. By this, love is perfected with us, so that we may have confidence in the day of judgment; because as He is, so also are we in this world. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves punishment, and the one who fears is not perfected in love. We love, because He first loved us,” (1 John 4:15-19).
God loved us by sending His Son, Jesus Christ, to take our punishment and die on our behalf. If we confess that Jesus is, indeed, the Son of God and believe in this great act of love by God for us, we can have confidence on the day of judgment. What’s more, His love will become our love. Receiving His love, we ourselves will love as He does and thus turns from sin to righteousness and from selfishness to self-sacrifice for others. So in this age and in the age to come, Christ alone is the answer.
No but everything is recorded and those in Christ will receive rewards but the lost will receive damnation.

The entire Colossians2:19-, is against the SDA. Ellen claims she had an angel take her around, "Pauls warns us in this letter against such claims'', keep the sabbath or you go to hell SDA says, Paul says " Do not let any body judge you on these things ,days ,sabbaths,new moon festivities ,what you eat or not''. SDA says the power is in the sabbath , paul says the power is in Christ Jesus. SDA seems tohave failed to understand the mystery of Christ Jesus in fulfilling the Law by himself becoming the sacrifice , the sabbath (true rest ) ,life & the ressurrection. If they would listen to the Holy Spirit NOT ellen white ,they would see how the first day was hidden in the passover as the day of worship, since Jesus became our passover , he innaugurates & affirms the First day as the day of worship in His resurrection, in the gathering of the Church at Pentecost . Both events took place on the first day. So sincerely speaking , If the first Church was together on sunday when the Holy Spirit outpoured on them & 3000 people were added , how can another church be born on the seventh Day? , therefore the seventh day sabbath of the old covenant has been fulfilled in the first day of the new church & the new covenant . THE LIGHT was created on the first day, the light was killed on the sixth day, stayed in the grave on the seventh day & was born again from the dead on the first day, this is the light of the world , Jesus Christ whom we gather in communion & worship on this day.
Yes exactly. In her burning desire to be a MESSENGER, EGW proves herself to be one of whom we are warned against in Colossians 2 and the worship of ANGELS since angel MEANS messenger (or even pastor btw)
Amen bro
The Seventh Day Adventist False Religion: A False Religion: The 7th Day Adventists were originally called Millerites because their group was founded by William Miller, a false prophet who predicted Jesus would return in either 1843 or 1844. When Miller’s prediction of Christ’s second coming failed to come to pass, the Millerites disbanded in dismay; this event became known as the “Great Disappointment.” But then a couple of Miller’s followers claimed to have visions (lies to support their false religion) to account for the failed prophecy.
Instead of coming to earth, Jesus had entered the heavenly temple-thus, Miller was right, after all, they said, except his prophecy had a spiritual fulfillment instead of a physical one. One of the seers who covered for Miller was 17-year-old Ellen G. Harmon, who had her first of 2,000 purported visions in a prayer meeting shortly after Miller’s disgrace. With her vision, Ellen soon became a beacon of hope for disillusioned Millerites. She united Adventist factions and became the spiritual guide for a new religious group. Right from the start the Seventh Day Adventists were a false religion with false prophets and false biblical teachings!
Other problematic doctrines in Seventh-day Adventism include the teaching that Satan is the “scapegoat” and will bear believers’ sins (The Great Controversy, p. 422, 485)-this is the opposite of what the Bible says about who bore our sins whom is Jesus (1 Peter 2:21-24). Seventh-day Adventism also identifies Jesus as Michael the archangel (source: Jude 1:9 of their Clear Word Bible, published by Review and Herald Publishing Association, 1994)-a doctrine that denies the true nature of Christ, and teaches that Jesus entered a second phase of His redemptive work on October 22nd, 1844, as prophesied by Hiram Edson.
The Clear Word Bible is the bible the Adventists created for themselves to support their false doctrines; it’s a Seventh-day Adventist paraphrase of the Bible that alters numerous verses to bring them in line with SDA doctrine. And, of course, the Adventist promotion of Sabbath-keeping as a primary doctrine goes against the teaching of Scripture on the matter (see Romans 14:5).
Seventh-Day Adventism is a diverse movement, and not all SDA groups hold to all the doctrines mentioned above. But all Seventh-Day Adventists should seriously consider the following: a recognized prophetess in their church was a teacher of aberrant doctrine, and their church has its roots in the failed prophecies of William Miller. Due to the penchant of Adventists to accept extra-biblical revelation and the doctrinal issues mentioned above, one would strongly encourage believers to not get involved in Seventh-day Adventism.
The Bible says suffer not a woman to teach (1 Timothy 2:12-15) contradicting Ellen G. White’s leadership; the Bible says that it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment (Hebrews 9:27-28) and that when unbelievers die they go to Hell as the wrath of God abides upon them (John 3:36; Revelation 21:8) and that unbelievers will lift up their eyes in Hell being in torment (Luke 16:19-31) and that Hell is a place “Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched (Mark 9:48); when you die you go to Heaven or Hell (John 3:36); there is no soul sleep for to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord (2 Corinthians 5:8)! The Bible states that there is no annihilationism, because you literally burn in Hell until the Great White Throne Judgment where unbelievers will be taken out of Hell, the book of their life will be read to them showing all their sins and their rejection of Jesus throughout their life and then they will be cast into the Lake of Fire (Revelation 20:11-15). The Bible also states that the Lake of Fire, like Hell, is also a place where humans will suffer torment forever (Revelation 14:9-11), that unbelievers will be cast into the Lake of Fire (Revelation 20:11-15) and that Satan, the Beast (the Antichrist) and the false prophet will be in the Lake of Fire for eternity (Revelation 19:20).
The Bible states that Jesus is God (John 1:1-2; 1:14; 1 Timothy 3:16) and not the archangel Michael as the 7th Day Adventists claim; they have a false Jesus that cannot save them, as only the Biblical Jesus exists and the Bible says that He is God!
The Bible states that Christians have a faith-based-salvation and not a works-based-salvation (Ephesians 2:8-9), which means the Seventh Day Adventists are trying to earn their way into Heaven, which they cannot work their way to Heaven: “Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity” (Matthew 7:21-23), hence they are heading to the very Hell they often lie about. The Adventists also disregard the Bible and instead use their Clear Word Bible, which was made by them to support their false doctrines. The Jehovah’s Witnesses do the same with their New World Translation. You either trust the Word of God, or the lies of the 7th Day Adventists.
Yet another blunder by the 7th Day Adventists is that the Sunday service is the Mark of the Beast, while lets examine the verse that talks about the Mark of the Beast:
“And he [the 2nd Beast, the False prophet] causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that has the Mark, or the name of the beast [the 1st Beast, the Antichrist], or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six (666).” Revelation 13:16-18
Nowhere in this verse does it state that Sunday service is the Mark of the Beast. Rather it states a few things about the Mark of the Beast: 1. It goes into our right hands and foreheads, like a bio-chip, microchip, electronic tattoo, etc. 2. It is connected to a cashless economy; how else can you stop everyone on earth from buying or selling? 3. and that if you do not have the Mark of the Beast you cannot buy or sell anything. So no the Mark of the Beast is not Sunday service! The 7th Day Adventists are a false religious cult whose leadership will take the Mark of the Beast to have access to their billions because they have been deceived about the Mark of the Beast. They will have their followers do the same and they will all be damned to the Lake of Fire for eternity!

I believe in keeping the Sabbath
But I don't believe in Ellen white
Is there a church that acknowledged the holy Sabbath day?
Without Ellen white?
Seventh Day Baptists are Baptists who observe the Sabbath as the seventh day of the week, Saturday, as a holy day to God. They believe in conscious baptism of believers by immersion, congregational government and the scriptural basis of opinion and practice. There are many other groups besides these Baptists out there that keep the Sabbath day but many of those are just as false as the the SDA & they too do not have Ellen G. White. Should we keep the Sabbath or not? It was the custom of the Jews to come together on the Saturday Sabbath, cease work, and worship God. Of the Ten Commandments listed in Exodus 20:1-17, only nine were reinstituted in the New Testament. (Six in Matthew 19:18, murder, adultery, stealing, false witness, honor parents, and worshiping God; Romans 13:9, coveting. Worshiping God properly covers the first three commandments). The one that was not reaffirmed was the one about the Sabbath. Instead, Jesus said that He is the Lord of the Sabbath (Matt. 12:8).
Exodus 20:8; 23:12; 31:15; Deuteronomy 5:12; Leviticus 26:2 and Romans 14:5; Colossians 2:16
Keep the Sabbath
Exodus 20:8-9, “Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 “Six days you shall labor and do all your work,”
Exodus 23:12, “Six days you are to do your work, but on the seventh day you shall cease from labor in order that your ox and your donkey may rest, and the son of your female slave, as well as your stranger, may refresh themselves.”
Exodus 31:15, “For six days work may be done, but on the seventh day there is a sabbath of complete rest, holy to the Lord; whoever does any work on the sabbath day shall surely be put to death.”
Deuteronomy 5:12, “Observe the sabbath day to keep it holy, as the Lord your God commanded you.”
Leviticus 26:2, “You shall keep My sabbaths and reverence My sanctuary; I am the Lord.”
Don’t keep the Sabbath
Romans 14:5, “One man regards one day above another, another regards every day alike. Let each man be fully convinced in his own mind.”
Colossians 2:16, “Therefore let no one act as your judge in regard to food or drink or in respect to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day.”
In creation, God rested on the seventh day. But, since God is all-powerful, He doesn’t get tired. He doesn’t need to take a break and rest. So, why does it say that He rested? The reason is simple: Mark 2:27 says, “The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath.” In other words, God established the Sabbath as a rest for His people - not because He needed a break but because we are mortal and need a time of rest - of focus on God. In this, our spirits and bodies are both renewed.
The O.T. system of Law required keeping the Sabbath as part of the overall moral, legal, and sacrificial system by which the Jewish people satisfied God’s requirements for behavior, government, and forgiveness of sins. The Sabbath was part of the Law in that sense. To “remain” in favor with God, you also had to keep the Sabbath. If it was not kept, then the person was in sin and would often be punished (Ezekiel 18:4; Rom. 6:23; Deut. 13:1-9; Num. 35:31; Lev. 20:2, etc.).
But with Jesus’ atonement and justification by faith (Rom. 5:1), we no longer are required to keep the Law and hence the Sabbath, which was only a shadow of things to come (Col. 2:16-17). We are not under Law but grace (Rom. 6:14-15). The Sabbath is fulfilled in Jesus because in Him we have rest (Matt. 11:28). We are not obligated to keep the Law, which goes for the Sabbath as well.

One prays to Mary, The other prays to Jesus but has Ellen G white, whiles, others believe in Jehovah, Allah and Mohamed,
I believe in the lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth
I just want to do right by the lord.
Churches shouldn't have itches.
One person told me, just overlook the church short comings and just focus on worshipping Jesus Christ, but how can you truly worship the lord Jesus Christ in a place where there's so many contradiction and confusion, you have to be careful, I have to be careful, some of these churches can really mislead you and send you to hell.
I ask the lord Jesus Christ 🙏 for guidance
@@Angelnightingale - You are definitely on the right track in what you are saying here because as Jesus warned in Matthew 7:15, "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but underneath are ravenous wolves." 1 John 4:1 says "Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world." You must be extremely careful & discerning in this very deceitful world as the Bible warns about. The Bible tells us to expose error (Ephesians 5:11, "And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them."). And to expose error we must make righteous judgments. Christians must judge in order to: 1. Try the spirits to see if they are from God, for many false prophets are in the world. (1 John 4:1). 2. Mark & avoid false teachers, slaves of their own bellies, deceiving many with their smooth & flattering speech (Romans 16:17-18). 3. Rebuke false teachers, rebellious men, & deceivers who subvert whole families with their false doctrine. (Titus 1:9-16) 4. Have no fellowship with immoral, impure, or covetous men. (Ephesians 5:5-7) 5. Receive not deceivers who do not abide in the teaching of Christ into our homes, nor giving them any greeting. (2 John 7-11) 6. Be wary of those who preach another gospel. (2 Corinthians 11:4, Galatians 1:6-9) Even David, who feared touching one of God's anointed, did not hesitate to judge & expose Saul's sin before the world. "Out of the wicked comes forth wickedness." (1 Samuel 24:10, 12-13) Thus, shouldn't true Christians, following the Biblical standards laid down, judge & expose the sins of false teachers, prophets & immoral brothers in the church; all those who would pollute the truth with perverted doctrines or watered-down teachings which tickle the ear? (2 Timothy 4:2-5, "preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction. 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires, 4 and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths. 5 But you, be sober in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.").
In order to do the above you must know what the Bible teaches before you get tricked into joining some false religious group which perverts what the Bible is saying (see our video "Both Fake Christians & Pagans Deny the Bible & Jesus Alike Since Jesus Said Holy Scripture is True" at th-cam.com/video/A0B9B2Mcb6M/w-d-xo.html ). Remember Satan never sleeps - 1 Peter 5:8, "8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour". Even the Muslims have an Islamic Jesus which is not the Biblical Jesus. Similarly the Jehovah's Witnesses have a JW Jesus who is a created angel, the Mormons have a Mormon Jesus who is the brother of the Devil, the Roman Catholics have a Wafer Jesus who needs a "Mediatrix" to help him who is the Virgin Mary, the Seventh-day Adventists have an Ellen G. White Jesus who needs an 1844 investigative judgment to see who gets to heaven, the New Agers believe Jesus was an enlightened man, not God Almighty. They consider Jesus one of many enlightened masters, like Buddha and Zoroaster, who can help people find their own divinity & godhood. The list could go on & on. See our main TH-cam channel page which displays 19 playlists exposing many of these false religions & their phony imitations of Jesus at th-cam.com/users/CAnswersTV. Remember what Jesus said in Matthew 24:24, "For false christs and false prophets will arise and will show great signs and wonders, so as to deceive, if possible, even the elect."
When choosing a good church to attend you are absolutely correct when you said "I have to be careful, some of these churches can really mislead you and send you to hell." Good preachers we recommend to listen to can be found on our most popular video on TH-cam with over 2.4 million views so far called "Top List of Outstanding Bible Teachers & Preachers on SermonAudio.com for Personal & Group Study" at th-cam.com/video/N6153Yqz0xg/w-d-xo.html .

When trying to find a good local church, it’s good to remember that, just like the people in them, no church is perfect. However, there are many important issues that should be considered when choosing a church:
1. What is being preached and taught? The Bible is clear that we should only listen to those who preach the true gospel of Jesus Christ (Galatians 1:6-9). If any other message is being given in its place, then it is not a Christ-following church and you should move on to another one (Ephesians 1:22; 4:15, Colossians 1:18). The church should be speaking God’s truth as given to us through His inspired Word, the Bible (2 Timothy 3:15-17). The truth of the gospel is that we are sinners (Romans 3:23), that we need a savior, and that Jesus is the only way of salvation (Romans 6:23, Ephesians 2:8-9).
2. Is the church a place of fellowship and community? The early church of Acts 2:42-47 “devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.
3. Is the church focused on reaching out to others, outside the church, with the message of the gospel and practical service? Christ commanded us to carry the gospel to the ends of the earth, to all unreached peoples (Matthew 28:19-20).
4. Does the style of music fit with your taste or preferences? The older hymns are often rich with truth and important doctrines that can bolster our faith, and there are also many newer songs and choruses that are uplifting and encouraging. Here's a video I put out concerning this "Psalms, Hymns & Spiritual Songs: Biblical Worship - Colossians 3:16; Ephesians 5:19; Psalm 150" at th-cam.com/video/V5aoaHtdU_c/w-d-xo.html .
5. Best choices: 1.Try doing an internet search for Reformed Baptist churches in your area & see what comes up & go visit (there's not that many of them out there but I believe Reformed Baptists are the closest to what the Bible actually teaches doctrinally - farese.com/ ). 2. If that doesn't work try a Bible believing Baptist church but they can easily be filled with many typical problems so you must be discerning in what each Baptist church you come across is doing (there can be the good, the bad & the ugly so be careful). 3. If that doesn't work try a "Bible Church" but you'll have to investigate what their doctrinal statement is in each case. 4. If that doesn't work you could try an Orthodox Presbyterian Church but beware of Pentecostal & Charismatic churches - see our video series starting with "Blasphemous Charismatic & Pentecostal Mayhem #1: Mad Delusional Experiences Replace Scripture Alone" at th-cam.com/video/Kbv7YsyMf0I/w-d-xo.html .
May the Lord bless you in your search for a good home church to attend regularly. Hebrews 10:25, "not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the day drawing near."
Its funny what made me leave the SDA church was me spotting the verse 1 Timothy 2:12 which could have been me just having a bad interpretation of the bible but nonetheless im glad i found a community bible church that has a great pastor that is bold with the truth of the bible. And teaches us to be sealed by the holy Spirit.
See our full reply to this person which starts with "You, having read Ellen White's 1858 book many times have concluded from it: 1. that her interpretation of 1844 is correct about the Sanctuary 2. Plagiarism is not important & 3. Ellen White did not teach the Trinity in it. These seem to be the main reasons you believe her book is " a very strong book." We would argue that all three of these reasons are why Ellen White is a false prophet who is leading legions of people to eternal destruction. Ellen's investigative judgement is false - see www.truthorfables.com/investigative_judgment_made_simple.htm , 2. Plagiarism when speaking as "The Spirit of Prophecy" should not be necessary when you're claiming it is from God - see www.truthorfables.com/searchresults.html?q=plagiarism&t=1557173586196 . 3. Denying the Trinity is to deny the very God of the Bible. 1) There is one God (Deuteronomy 6:4; 1 Corinthians 8:4; Galatians 3:20; 1 Timothy 2:5). 2) The Trinity consists of three Persons (Genesis 1:1, 26; 3:22; 11:7; Isaiah 6:8, 48:16, 61:1; Matthew 3:16-17, 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14)." @jenzzuffer says - "My only experience with seventh day adventism and ellen gould white is reading the great controversy edition from 1858. I think its a very strong book, i read it many times by now. i never joined the church and i dont intend to, what you are saying about the church is not ruining the messages of the book. I dont care what some men tried to interpret "cleaning the sanctuary" as, the book says that prophetic time closed in 1844. "Their mistake consisted in not understanding what the Sanctuary was, and the nature of its cleansing. Jesus did enter the Most Holy place to cleanse the Sanctuary at the ending of the days". "Time was fulfilled, but where was their Saviour? They had lost him. I was then shown the disappointment of the disciples as they came to the sepulchre and found not the body of Jesus. Said Mary, They have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him. Angels told the sorrowing disciples that their Lord had risen, and would go before them into Galilee. I saw that as Jesus looked upon the disappointed ones with the deepest compassion, he sent his angels to direct their minds that they might find him, and follow him where he was; that they might understand that the earth is not the Sanctuary; that he must needs enter the Most Holy place of the heavenly Sanctuary to cleanse it; to make a special atonement for Israel, and to receive the kingdom of his Father, and then return to earth and take them to dwell with him forever".
Furthermore I dont see why i should care about plagiarism. What matters is sending a message, an understanding. its a message and understanding that other people before her had and that other people after her still continue to have. intellectual property simply is irrelevant when wanting to spread an understanding regarding religion, there is no "i, me" in the matter, there is nothing to own. Its absurd to claim others wont use it again, of course they will. All things we could understand has already been understood by somebody before us and will be understood by somebody after us who will want to say the same messages again. Its literally the point that we get the same conclusions over and over again and have a desire to talk about them with people again.
Lastly, but not relevant to the video i want to say that i think the 1858 edition does not confirm the trinity but instead keeps a distinct separation between the holy ghost, god and jesus. I think that separation makes sense, i reject the trinity based on it." See our reply below to this statement.
Our reply to the above comment from @jenzzuffer is as follows: You, having read Ellen's 1858 book many times have concluded from it: 1. that her interpretation of 1844 is correct about the Sanctuary 2. Plagiarism is not important & 3. Ellen White did not teach the Trinity in it. These seem to be the main reasons you believe her book is " a very strong book."

Plagiarism when speaking as "The Spirit of Prophecy" should not be necessary when you're claiming it is from God - see www.truthorfables.com/searchresults.html?q=plagiarism&t=1557173586196 . 3. Denying the Trinity is to deny the very God of the Bible. 1) There is one God (Deuteronomy 6:4; 1 Corinthians 8:4; Galatians 3:20; 1 Timothy 2:5).
2) The Trinity consists of three Persons (Genesis 1:1, 26; 3:22; 11:7; Isaiah 6:8, 48:16, 61:1; Matthew 3:16-17, 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14). In Genesis 1:1, the Hebrew plural noun "Elohim" is used. In Genesis 1:26, 3:22, 11:7 and Isaiah 6:8, the plural pronoun for “us” is used. The word "Elohim" and the pronoun “us” are plural forms, definitely referring in the Hebrew language to more than two. While this is not an explicit argument for the Trinity, it does denote the aspect of plurality in God. The Hebrew word for "God," "Elohim," definitely allows for the Trinity.
In Isaiah 48:16 and 61:1, the Son is speaking while making reference to the Father and the Holy Spirit. Compare Isaiah 61:1 to Luke 4:14-19 to see that it is the Son speaking. Matthew 3:16-17 describes the event of Jesus’ baptism. Seen in this passage is God the Holy Spirit descending on God the Son while God the Father proclaims His pleasure in the Son. Matthew 28:19 and 2 Corinthians 13:14 are other examples of passages that present three distinct Persons in the Trinity.
3) The members of the Trinity are distinguished one from another in various passages. In the Old Testament, “LORD” is distinguished from “Lord” (Genesis 19:24; Hosea 1:4). The LORD has a Son (Psalm 2:7, 12; Proverbs 30:2-4). The Spirit is distinguished from the “LORD” (Numbers 27:18) and from “God” (Psalm 51:10-12). God the Son is distinguished from God the Father (Psalm 45:6-7; Hebrews 1:8-9). In the New Testament, Jesus speaks to the Father about sending a Helper, the Holy Spirit (John 14:16-17). This shows that Jesus did not consider Himself to be the Father or the Holy Spirit. Consider also the other instances when Jesus speaks to the Father. Was He speaking to Himself? No. He spoke to another Person in the Trinity-the Father.
4) Each member of the Trinity is God. The Father is God (John 6:27; Romans 1:7; 1 Peter 1:2). The Son is God (John 1:1, 14; Romans 9:5; Colossians 2:9; Hebrews 1:8; 1 John 5:20). The Holy Spirit is God (Acts 5:3-4; 1 Corinthians 3:16).
5) There is subordination within the Trinity. Scripture shows that the Holy Spirit is subordinate to the Father and the Son, and the Son is subordinate to the Father. This is an internal relationship and does not deny the deity of any Person of the Trinity. This is simply something our finite minds cannot understand concerning the infinite God. Concerning the Son see Luke 22:42, John 5:36, John 20:21, and 1 John 4:14. Concerning the Holy Spirit see John 14:16, 14:26, 15:26, 16:7, and especially John 16:13-14.
6) The individual members of the Trinity have different tasks. The Father is the ultimate source or cause of the universe (1 Corinthians 8:6; Revelation 4:11); divine revelation (Revelation 1:1); salvation (John 3:16-17); and Jesus’ human works (John 5:17; 14:10). The Father initiates all of these things.
The Son is the agent through whom the Father does the following works: the creation and maintenance of the universe (1 Corinthians 8:6; John 1:3; Colossians 1:16-17); divine revelation (John 1:1, 16:12-15; Matthew 11:27; Revelation 1:1); and salvation (2 Corinthians 5:19; Matthew 1:21; John 4:42). The Father does all these things through the Son, who functions as His agent.
The Holy Spirit is the means by whom the Father does the following works: creation and maintenance of the universe (Genesis 1:2; Job 26:13; Psalm 104:30); divine revelation (John 16:12-15; Ephesians 3:5; 2 Peter 1:21); salvation (John 3:6; Titus 3:5; 1 Peter 1:2); and Jesus’ works (Isaiah 61:1; Acts 10:38). Thus, the Father does all these things by the power of the Holy Spirit.

I am not a Seventh day Adventist, I know a few people who are and have questioned my understanding of the Sabbath. In my research I found this, in every "Religion", false teachings and docutrine's less focus is put into the understanding of who God is, the power of Jesus Christ, the end times and the understanding of what is truly required, to the point where the participant is more trying to be in line with what the founder, "Ellen g white" & others are trying to promote. Jesus has warned us about deception too many times, if you seek truth, seek and you shall find, many will not find truth in religion because they are too caught up in the practice and law of whatever they are in and hence instead asking or seeking God for wisdom, knowledge and understanding, they are caught up in the snare of deception. People perish for a lack of knowledge. There were a lot of I's in Ellen g white's doctrine, to me is a sign of pride and wanted to be the central point, Soo many scriptures in the bible itself can contridict this false doctrine, but you have to seek it for yourself.
PS 147:19-20 ""He shewed His word unto Jacob, His statutes and His judgments unto Israel [not the Gentles]
He has not dealt so with any other nation: and as for His judgments, they have not known them. Praise you the LORD." The Law was given to the Jews not the Gentles. ACTS 15:24 "Forasmuch as we [the Apostles] have heard, that certain ones which went out from us have troubled you [Gentles] with words, subverting your souls, saying, You must be circumcised, and keep the Law: to whom we gave no such commandment:" ACTS 15:28-29 For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you [Gentles] no greater burden than these necessary things; That you abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if you keep yourselves, you shall do well. Fare you well."
Gentles are a law unto themselves says ROM 2:14 who have similar moral laws as says the 10 Commandments but not exactly the same [no Sabbath law] It is by this moral code written in the heart of the Gentles that the Gentles are convicted of sin and therefore their need for Christ.
Also not sda. Spent years learning about and deconverting members, and I've come to the conclusion that it is a very elaborate cult, that pretends to be all about religion, but acts as a corporation. Sdas have a rule (not biblical, by the way), that each member must tithe 10% of their annual pay (the "vision" of how egw got that 10% is beyond hilarious btw). Of course the bible says give what you can, not a set amount. So while it was a cult from the get go, its morphed into a corporation. The members I've encountered and many now deconverted have all told me the same, that they were given better social acknowledgement by drawing in converts. The cult focuses on drawing in members. Of course, they do it under the guise of following Jesus and God. Most members have no clue. They are led to believe that they are the remenant people. That they are saved. They are cut off and/or ridiculed when they leave. Told they are backslidden. That they don't believe the true gospel. Etc. Everyone here knows the lies. But with 18 million members, do the math. It's a cult corporation, that has effectively created a society of followers who worship something they believe is good, while shaming their peers if they don't comply or adhere to the beliefs. The "church" changes their position every few years. Makes egw a little more obsolete. Look more and more like a true Christian denomination. Hiding things under layers of lies. The leaders get richer, and the focus isn't even on them, but God. They spin the lies, the members gobble them up. That's the framework. All the over and above is cult of course. As a born again Christian and once a satanist, it blows me away how few Christian's understand the true power and capabilities of satan. Of the lies and deceptions. Sdas believe in annaliation, that satan will carry the souls of the unsaved into the lake of fire, while the saved will go to heaven. Of course, this takes satan out of the picture; exactly what satan wants. Sdas don't see satan as a threat. But satan works against God. Satan seeks his own will, away from God. SDA is an elaborate cult. Booming corporation. Satan designed. Full of greed and hate. And also truly misled people believing they are doing the right thing to make it to heaven. True believers, wrong place.
Good luck showing that, or what you (OP) mentioned to any current sdas. They'll dismiss you as satan influenced and a heretic. Oh the irony
Idon't believe GOD has a set day now to worship. Some people work different days of the week! Jesus I believe said I am the Sabbath ! As long as you are BORN AGAIN!
Absolutely brother Ben, amen.
@@4thcommandment.thesabbathc722 - Romans 14:5, "One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind." In Colossians 2:16-17, the apostle Paul declares, “Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ.” These Scriptures make it clear that, for the Christian, Sabbath-keeping is a matter of spiritual freedom, not a command from God. Sabbath-keeping is an issue on which God‟s Word instructs us not to judge each other. Sabbath-keeping is a matter about which each Christian needs to be fully convinced in his/her own mind.
In the early chapters of the book of Acts, the first Christians were predominantly Jews. When Gentiles began to receive the gift of salvation through Jesus Christ, the Jewish Christians had a dilemma. What aspects of the Mosaic Law and Jewish tradition should Gentile Christians be instructed to obey? The apostles met and discussed the issue in the Jerusalem council (Acts 15). The decision was, “It is my judgment, therefore, that we should not make it difficult for the Gentiles who are turning to God. Instead we should write to them, telling them to abstain from food polluted by idols, from sexual immorality, from the meat of strangled animals and from blood” (Acts 15:19-20). Sabbath-keeping was not one of the commands the apostles felt was necessary to force on Gentile believers. It is inconceivable that the apostles would neglect to include Sabbath-keeping if it was God‟s command for Christians to observe the Sabbath day.
A common error in the Sabbath-keeping debate is the concept that the Sabbath was the day of worship. Groups such as the Seventh Day Adventists hold that God requires the church service to be held on Saturday, the Sabbath day. That is not what the Sabbath command was.The Sabbath command was to do no work on the Sabbath day (Exodus 20:8-11). Nowhere in Scripture is the Sabbath day commanded to be the day of worship. Yes, Jews in Old Testament, NewTestament, and modern times use Saturday as the day of worship, but that is not the essence of the Sabbath command. In the book of Acts, whenever a meeting is said to be on the Sabbath, it is a meeting of Jews, not Christians.
When did the early Christians meet? Acts 2:46-47gives us the answer, “Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.” If there was a day that Christians met regularly, it was the first day of the week (our Sunday), not the Sabbath day (our Saturday) (Acts 20:7; 1 Corinthians 16:2). In honor of Christ‟s resurrection on Sunday, the early Christians observed Sunday not as the “Christian Sabbath” but as a day to especially worship Jesus Christ.
Is there anything wrong with worshipping on Saturday, the Jewish Sabbath? Absolutely not! We should worship God every day, not just on Saturday or Sunday! Many churches today have both Saturday and Sunday services. There is freedom in Christ (Romans 8:21; 2 Corinthians 3:17; Galatians 5:1). Should a Christian practice Sabbath-keeping, that is, not working on Saturdays? If a Christian feels led to do so, absolutely, yes (Romans 14:5). However, those who choose to practice Sabbath-keeping should not judge those who do not keep the Sabbath (Colossians 2:16). Further, those who do not keep the Sabbath should avoid being a stumbling block (1 Corinthians 8:9) to those who do keep the Sabbath. Galatians 5:13-15sums up the whole issue: “You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature; rather, serve one another in love. The entire law is summed up in a single command: "Love your neighbor as yourself.‟ If you keep on biting and devouring each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other."
So who is the little horn on Daniel 8 and what is the sanctuary of verses 11, 13 and 14?
mikartt7 - For a much more detailed explanation click on www.truthorfables.com/2300_Days_by_Vowless.htm . Daniel 8 speaks of 2,300 days in a prophecy concerning a persecution of the Jewish people during the intertestamental period. The prophecy of the 2,300 days (“evenings and mornings”) is found in Daniel 8:13-14: “Then I heard a holy one speaking, and another holy one said to him, ‘How long will it take for the vision to be fulfilled-the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, the rebellion that causes desolation, the surrender of the sanctuary and the trampling underfoot of the Lord’s people?’ He said to me, ‘It will take 2,300 evenings and mornings; then the sanctuary will be reconsecrated.’”
The time period covered, 2,300 days, figures to about 6 1/3 years. We believe this prophecy was fulfilled before the birth of Christ, during the reign of the Seleucid king Antiochus IV (Epiphanes). Antiochus desecrated the temple in Jerusalem and severely persecuted the Jews from about September 171 BC to December 165 BC. When Antiochus died, the Jews purified and rededicated the temple, just as Daniel had predicted. These events are commemorated in the celebration of Hanukkah.
@@CAnswersTV Are you referring to the "abomination of desolation"? Did Antiochus fulfill that prophecy?
@@ruahfire7566 - What is an abomination? An abomination is much more serious: it’s a thing that causes profound disgust or hatred. It’s an obscenity, a great evil. The term “abomination” appears more than 100 times in the Old Testament, and only a few times in the New Testament. And most commonly, the word refers to significant violations of the covenant, especially idolatry. You see it in Matthew chapter 24 verse 15, and Mark chapter 13 verse 14, where Jesus refers to “the Abomination of Desolation”, meaning an abomination that causes desolation or destruction. He says this to his disciples:
...when you see the abomination of desolation spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in the holy place... then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. Let the one who is on the housetop not go down to take what is in his house, and let the one who is in the field not turn back to take his cloak. And alas for women who are pregnant and for those who are nursing infants in those days! Pray that your flight may not be in winter or on a Sabbath. For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, and never will be.
There’s been some speculation about who or what this “abomination of desolation” is, but things are made clearer by Jesus when he says that the prophet Daniel had already spoken about it.
Sure enough, there are three places where the prophet Daniel speaks about it. In Daniel chapter 9, he says “on the wing of abominations shall come one who makes desolate”. Daniel chapter 11 says, “they shall set up the abomination that makes desolate.” And in chapter 12, Daniel again talks about “the abomination that makes desolate”.
Daniel speaks of a prince who will destroy Jerusalem, together with its temple and its sacrifices. He says that “forces from him shall appear and profane the temple and fortress, and shall take away the regular burnt offering. And they shall set up the abomination that makes desolate”.
Who is the “him” in that sentence, this person who will profane the temple and the fortress? As is often the case with Old Testament prophecy, there is a long-term fulfillment of the prophecy, and a short-term one. In the short-term, Daniel’s prophecy was fulfilled by a king called Antiochus Epiphanes IV, who ruled Palestine from 175-164 B.C.
He treated Israel so terribly that Israel rebelled against him, and when he arrived to suppress the rebellion, his forces went into the temple in Jerusalem, set up an altar for Zeus, and offered pigs as a sacrifice. Not only was this idolatry, of course, but it defiled the Holy of Holies, the most sacred inner part of the Temple, where God was said to dwell. Hence the abomination that causes desolation - desolation for the people of Israel.
But when Jesus talks to his disciples about the abomination of desolation, he speaks of it as a future event. He says, “Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place.” And typically in Scripture, a “generation” is 40 years.
So if Antiochus Epiphanes was the short-term fulfillment of Daniel’s prophecy, who was the longer-term fulfillment, the one Jesus spoke of two hundred years later?
Well, sure enough, within 40 years of Jesus’ words, the temple in Jerusalem was again desecrated. It happened in 70AD, and this time, it came from the Romans, led by their commander Titus. His armies were an abomination because they carried with them idolatrous images of their Emperor. And they brought desolation because they destroyed the city of Jerusalem, and its Temple. And once again, the Holy of Holies was defiled.
The Jewish historian Josephus claimed that 1.1 million people, most of them Jewish, were killed during the siege, so that bodies were literally piled up around the altar. The usual population of Jerusalem was likely enlarged given that many had come to the city to celebrate the Passover, which was to occur right as the siege was being launched. Prior to the siege, the Romans had allowed Jewish worshipers to enter the city for the feast, but they did not allow them to leave.
In love, then, Jesus spoke to his disciples about this horrendous event in advance to prepare them for what was coming, to warn them ahead of time so that they could flee the city.
Thankfully you and I were not alive to see such things, but Jesus’ loving warning here is still relevant to us. It reminds us that although He spoke, again and again, of things yet to come, his warnings - again and again - have proved to be trustworthy. You can, quite literally, stake your life on them.
Just a few verses later in Matthew’s Gospel, Jesus presents us with another loving warning. He speaks of his own second coming, as judge of the whole earth. He forewarns his disciples to make sure that they are living in obedience to him when he comes - which will be at a time they don’t expect.
Let’s be ready.
@@CAnswersTV Gave you a thumbs up for the informative reply. I didn't expect this response to be quite honest, I was going to nail you on the fact that Antiochus Epiphanes did not fulfill the abomination of desolation which Jesus spoke of referring to the prophecy of Daniel. Kudos to you sir!
So you agree then that the little horns spoken of in Daniel 7 & 8 ARE NOT the same entity? Clearly one of these little horns was to come out of the 3rd Empire = Grecian Empire, and specifically from one of the 4 horns that arose AFTER the fall of Alexander (the Big Horn).
The other horn was to come out of the 4th Empire or the Roman Empire, and would uproot 3 of the 10 kings and the Dragon would give him his power, seat, and authority. This was fulfilled by the Roman Catholic Papacy in 538 AD. I assume you will disagree on this point, but we both agree the two little horns of Daniel 7 & 8 cannot possibly be the same entity.
is there possibility Ellen suffered from mercury II nitrate effects from her fathers use of it in his pelt business? I have done preliminary style research and this is concerning to me...Wiki speaks of it as a type of "mad hatters" disease....any thoughts???
rick mccoy - Unfortunately, there are no "typical" symptoms of mercury poisoning that could easily be used to classify Mrs. White's condition beyond all possibility of doubt. Effects vary considerably depending upon one's age, weight, rate of exposure, type of mercury, and route of exposure (inhalation, skin, etc.).50 However, since her father was a hatter who used mercury to prepare his hats, and since she assisted him, at least for a while, in his business, she was definitely at risk for exposure to the poison. While many of the symptoms Mrs. White experienced could have had multiple causes, the sheer number of commonalities between her symptoms and mercury poisoning symptoms would suggest she had at least a mild exposure to mercury. If this is the case, it is sad and unfortunate and Mrs. White is deserving of our deepest sympathy. Furthermore, this could, in part, explain some of the unusual physical symptoms and psycholgical behaviors exhibited by Mrs. White throughout her prophetic career.

Daniel 8:14 King James Version (KJV)
14 And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.
Arudhi JaKanyo - Daniel 8:14. "And he said unto me." That is, "Palmoni", the wonderful person, to whom the angel put the above question, gave the answer to it; not unto the angel that asked it, but unto Daniel that stood by; knowing that it was for his and his people's sake the question was asked, and therefore gave the answer to him, as follows: unto two thousand and three hundred days; or so many "mornings" and "evenings" F8; which shows that not so many years, as Jacchiades, and others, are meant; but natural days, consisting of twenty four hours, and which make six years, three months, and eighteen days; and reckoning from the fifteenth day of the month Cisleu, in the year 145 of the Selucidae, in which Antiochus set up the abomination of desolation upon the altar, in the Apocrypha: ``Now the five and twentieth day of the month they did sacrifice upon the idol altar, which was upon the altar of God.'' (1 Maccabees 1:59) to the victory obtained over Nicanor by Judas, on the thirteenth day of the month Adar, Anno 151, are just 2300 days; which day the Jews kept as an annual feast, in commemoration of that victory; and from that time enjoyed peace and rest from war F9: this way goes L'Empereur after Capellus; but others begin from the defection of the people from the pure religion by Menelaus, Anno 141; though Antiochus did not enter on his impieties till the following year; and, reckoning from the sixth day of the sixth month in that year, to the twenty fifth day of Cisleu in the year 148, when the Jews offered the daily sacrifice on the new altar of burnt offerings, in the Apocrypha:
``Now on the five and twentieth day of the ninth month, which is called the month Casleu, in the hundred forty and eighth year, they rose up betimes in the morning, 53 And offered sacrifice according to the law upon the new altar of burnt offerings, which they had made. '' (1 Maccabees 4:52)
were just six years, three months, and eighteen days: and so it follows, and then shall the sanctuary be cleansed;
as it was by Judas Maccabeus at the time above mentioned; when he purified the holy places, sanctified the courts, rebuilt the altar, renewed the vessels of the sanctuary, and put all in their proper places; in the Apocrypha:
``41 Then Judas appointed certain men to fight against those that were in the fortress, until he had cleansed the sanctuary. 42 So he chose priests of blameless conversation, such as had pleasure in the law: 43 Who cleansed the sanctuary, and bare out the defiled stones into an unclean place. 44 And when as they consulted what to do with the altar of burnt offerings, which was profaned; 45 They thought it best to pull it down, lest it should be a reproach to them, because the heathen had defiled it: wherefore they pulled it down, 46 And laid up the stones in the mountain of the temple in a convenient place, until there should come a prophet to shew what should be done with them. 47 Then they took whole stones according to the law, and built a new altar according to the former; 48 And made up the sanctuary, and the things that were within the temple, and hallowed the courts. 49 They made also new holy vessels, and into the temple they brought the candlestick, and the altar of burnt offerings, and of incense, and the table. 50 And upon the altar they burned incense, and the lamps that were upon the candlestick they lighted, that they might give light in the temple. 51 Furthermore they set the loaves upon the table, and spread out the veils, and finished all the works which they had begun to make.'' (1 Maccabees 4)
Indeed, as Antiochus was a type of antichrist, and his persecution of that desolation made by antichrist in the church; these 2300 days may be considered as so many years, which will bring it down to the end of the sixth Millennium, or thereabout; when it may be hoped there will be a new face of things upon the sanctuary and church of God, and a cleansing of it from all corruption in doctrine, discipline, worship, and conversation.

“Calculation of the time was so simple and plain that even the children could understand it. From the date of the decree of the king of Persia, found in Ezra 7, which was given in 457 before Christ, the 2300 years of Daniel 8:14 must terminate with 1843. Accordingly we looked to the end of this year for the coming of the Lord. We were sadly disappointed when the year entirely passed away and the Saviour had not come.
