Cultish: Is Seventh Day Adventism a Cult? Pt. 1
Vložit
- čas přidán 8. 09. 2024
- Join us as we continue our conversation with Colleen Tinker and Nikki Stevenson Co-Hosts of the Former Adventist podcast on whether or not Seventh-Day Adventism is a cult.
This episode goes into detail about the great struggle that Walter Martin author of "Kingdom of the Cults" had when trying to pin down certain doctrines that the SDA believed.
From the book "Questions on Doctrine" that was published by SDA, to other proponents of SDA Doctrine stating that the "Questions of Doctrine" were misleading at best, this episode brings to light the great controversy of our day which is whether or not Seventh-Day Adventism is a cult.

The Adventist teach that Adam and Eve kept the Sabbath so “all mankind” is obligated to follow their example! However, there is NO example.
Unlike the Adventist teaching, no one in scripture teaches to follow Adam and Eve in their Sabbath keeping.
Moses didn’t!
Christ didn’t!
The prophets didn’t! and
neither did the Apostles!
And, the reason is, there is NO example.
If you are going to do such a shameful video as this, why not interview Judas about why he left Christianity next time?
@@statutesofthelord Judas was a Sabbath keeper that betrayed Christ with a kiss.
@Bill Class are you stupid? God sanctified the sabbath and Adam and Eve kept it holy. Everyone did. Even the Pharisees. Hence they said Jesus broke the sabbath in healing the sick and wanted to kill him. Some of you say Jesus broke the sabbath. No he did not. Only according to them. Picking corn to eat isn't farming nor is healing someone. The apostles went to the synagogue after the ascension as the were accustomed... Read Matthew 27. It tells you when the sabbath was. You can research and see when the day was transferred from Saturday to Sunday and it was under Constantine/ the council of Nicea.
Wikipedia searches and others does tell you this. The roman church said Sunday is their mark and if you want to be Christian you should keep sabbath/ be a 7th day Adventists. I also learned some of the this in Latin lessons 30 years ago about how Rome mixed paganism with Christianity. That why you can pray to dear saints - who are dead- which is necromancy. Also there are many denominations that keep sabbath holy and groups him Ethiopia to the lemba people in southern Africa... so make up your lies and believe them so you can feel comfortable with the masses going through the wide gate

1. Nowhere in scripture does it teach that Adam and Eve Shared in "God's Rest" at Creation, neither is anyone told to follow their example. unlike the Adventists teaching, no one in scripture teaches to follow Adam and Eve in their Sabbath keeping.

I never quite understand how someone can say… “Yes, my Church might believe that, but I do not”…. When it comes to some of the core doctrines. If you are going to an SDA Church… and you realize that they have many core doctrines off, amd you don’t subscribe to them… why are you still a member and going to that Church?!?
A lot of these comments say things like “Yes, I realize SDA lifts up Ellen G White’s writings along side scripture… but I do not and I am SDA” or
“Yes, I know The SDA stance is ….Christ took upon His sinless nature our sinful nature. Christ took our nature and it's deteriorating condition. I know This is false. Christ had a sinless human nature. Christ took our sin punishment, not our sin nature.”…
or
Many other things. If you realize these teachings are false… why do you stay in SDA???
“Why do they stay…” - The answer is very simple. To leave means abandoning a way of life and stressing many family / friend relationships. That’s not easy.
@@tkambler What more important Jesus or family and friends. Its a easy decision, its has to be Christ.
This video explains why I am an Adventist .

We believe in scripture from the bible. Beautiful doctrines of Daniel and Revelation. In other words truth.
Because it’s NOT a cult. You can be a member and have a different theological perspective. We know the Jesuits have infiltrated the Protestant churches and we are smart enough to read and study our Bibles on our own!
The SDA Church does not hold up EGW's writings to the authoritative level that scripture is held at.
Theology aside...as an adventist who is questioning all I can say is that I 1,000% relate to what these women are saying. That in and of itself is proof they are on to something, and SDA puts a veil over the real gospel! I have never been moved by a sermon. Never felt the church really cared about whether i attended or not. Never understood the bible, and honestly felt God was scary. I am excited to leave SDAism....just need a plan.
It is well known by all the scholars and Adventists too, that Christ was speaking of the Sabbath keepers, who murdered their own prophets.
Indeed, Just as in John 5:16-18 we find them trying to *murder* Christ over the Sabbath and *"sought all the more to persecute Christ"*
Christ speaking to the Sabbath keepers again Christ speaking to the Sabbath keepers in Mt. 23:34 SAYS THE FOLLOWING" Mt. 23 :34 Wherefore, behold, *I send unto YOU prophets, and wise men* , and scribes: and *some of them YOU shall kill and crucify; and. some of them shall YOU scourge in *your* synagogues, and *persecute them from city to city* : (Rev. 17vs 6)
37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, *thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee* .
Rev. 18 speaks of the martyrdom the *Apostles and Prophets* and you say there was no Catholic Church then. *So, who murdered the Apostles and the Prophets?* Guess who? The Sabbath keepers! Page after page of Sabbath keepers persecuting and murdering Christ, the Apostles, and the Prophets, exactly as Christ prophesied in Matthew 23:34-35.
Revelation 18:20-24
20 Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and *ye holy apostles and prophets;* for God hath avenged you on her.
21 And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.
22 And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee;
23 And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.
24 And in *her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.*

Jesus was talking to all of us.
Read Luke 13v3 and verse 5 and also John 14v15.
@@MountCarmel007 No, he was not. He was talking to the devout Sabbath keepers in Mt. 23. Want more proof? *Here’s what the Sabbath keepers have covered up:*
There are many wonderful examples in the Bible where the Sabbath keepers, all believed they were "keeping the commandments of God" by keeping the Sabbath day. Here's just a few of them and what Christ and the Apostles have to say to and about them.
*Acts 2:22-23* (KJV) Peter says that the Sabbath keepers by "wicked hands took, crucified and murdered Christ.
*John 8:48-49* (KJV) The Sabbath keepers accuse Christ of being demon possessed.

Acts 7 St. Stephen asks the Sabbath keepers *Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted?*
Acts 7 St. Stephen accuses the Sabbath keepers: *And they have *slain them who foretold of the coming of the Just One; of whom you have been now the *betrayers and murderers:*

Matthew 23:13-15 (KJV)
Christ says to the Sabbath keepers *Mt. **23:13* But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! *for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.*
Christ says to the Sabbath keepers *Mt. **23:14* Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! *for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.*
Christ says to the Sabbath keepers *Mt. **23:15* Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! *for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.*
Christ says to the Sabbath keepers: *Mt. **23:27* Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees,* hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.*
Christ says to the Sabbath keepers *Mt. **23:28* *"Even ye al outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.*"
Christ says about the Sabbath keepers Mt. 23:29 *"Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,*
Christ says to the Sabbath keepers Mt. 23: 31 *Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which KILLED the prophets.*
Christ says to the Sabbath keepers Mt. 23: 32 *Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.*
Christ says to the Sabbath keepers Mt. 23: 33 *Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?*
Christ says TO Sabbath keepers Mt. 23: 35 *..upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias n of Barachias whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.*
Christ says to the Sabbath keepers Mt. 23 :35 That upon YOU may come *ALL THE RIGHTEOUS BLOOD SHED UPON THE EARTH* ,from the BLOOD OF RIGHTEOUS ABEL unto the blood of Zacharias n of Barachias
CHRIST SAYS UNTO THE SABBATH KEEPERS Mt. 23: 37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, *thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee* . .[COMPARE WITH* Rev. 18:24* And in her was found *the blood of prophets, and of saints* , and *of all that were slain upon the earth.* NOW NOTICE *Rev. 18:20* Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye *holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged YOU on HER .*
The Apostle Paul says to the Sabbath keepers: 2Cor. 3:15 But even unto this day, *when Moses is read, the veil is upon their heart.*
John 5 vs 18 *The Sabbath Keepers seek to KILL Christ over the Sabbath*. BECAUSE CHRIST SAID HE WORKS EVERY SABBATH DAY!

Acts 3:13-15 (KJV)
13 The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let him go.
14 *But you denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto YOU (ALL) ;*
15 And *murdered the Prince of life* , whom God hath raised from the dead; whereof we are witnesses.
Acts 5:30-33 (KJV)
30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, *whom YOU slew and hanged on a tree.*
31 Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.
32 And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him.
33 When they heard that, they were cut to the heart, and *took counsel to slay them.*
Acts 6:10-14 (KJV)
10 And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit by which he spake.
11 Then they suborned men, which said, We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses, and against God.
12 And *they stirred up the people, and the elders, and the scribes,* and came upon him, and caught him, and brought him to the council,
13 And *set up false witnesses*, which said, This man ceaseth not to speak blasphemous words against this holy place, and the law:
14 For we have heard him say, that this Jesus of Nazareth shall destroy this place, and shall change the customs which Moses delivered us.
Thus it is written as spoken by the mouth of the Holy Spirit!!!
Acts 7:51-54 (KJV)
51 St. Stephen then says to the Sabbath keepers: "Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, *ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye.*
52 Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and they have slain them which shewed before of the coming of the Just One; *of whom ye have been now the betrayers and murderers*

Well said Allison! 👍
The doctrines in Adventism pit it against the rest of Christianity whom they claim are "apostate", "Babylon", "daughters of the whore", and "nominal Christians." Additionally SDAs are becoming more and more disillusioned with notion of the never-coming Sunday law (which has always been "right around the corner" for the last 170+ years!). Check this attrition rare from the April 2019 edition of Ministry Magazine:
*"The Seventh-day Adventist Church is losing members at an alarming rate. Even though the evangelism in our churches is winning people, we lose about 49 of every 100 baptized. This hemorrhaging of our members cannot continue. It is expected to get worse, especially in countries where soul winning is difficult; and if it continues, entire conferences maybe closed for lack of members"* .
(Think about that for a moment. That is essentially 50% of people leaving!!)
Well wrote the Apostle Paul to the Corinthians in his day. It's so fitting for a warning concerning the Judaizing ministers of the Adventists to this very day.
2Cor. 11:3 "But I fear, lest by any means, *as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.*
4 For if he that cometh preacheth *another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him."* …
15 Therefore it is no great thing if *his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.*
16 I say again, let no man think me a fool; if otherwise, yet as a fool receive me, that I may boast myself a little.
17 That which I speak, I speak it not after the Lord, but as it were foolishly, in this confidence of boasting.
18 Seeing that many glory after the flesh, I will glory also.
19 *For ye suffer fools gladly, seeing ye yourselves are wise.
20 For ye suffer, if a man bring you into bondage, if a man devour you, if a man take of you, if a man EXALT himself, if a man SMITE you on the face.*
*TO ALL WHO READ THIS: Please understand, these people have never kept the 10 commandments. And, Neither do they keep the Sabbath. It's never been about keeping the 10 commandments, it's about "Drawing away followers after themselves", Condemned throughout the New Testament.
I do not know much about SDA but I do know a lot about Mormonism, and it is a cult, any so-called religion that claims Jesus is a different Jesus than what is in the bible can be labeled a cult!!
I have heard the gospel preached clearly by Walter Veith
I would love to see these two ladies debate doug batchelor and walter veith. It is absurd to think that adventists don't know the gospel. Can you please set the debate?
@Lol bruh I'd love to see Doug Batch o' lies debate the one and only Elce Laureston. Doug will leave the building ultimately humiliated.
@@Over-for-now sarah, what do you think is unbiblical about SDA teaching?
Absolutely yes!
@@LoCoWi Are you kidding? Elce Laureston? His theology is so warped and senseless a child could poke holes in it.
@@nicetry620 Why do you keep accusing people of being trolls?
Wouldn’t this podcast benefit from an SDA theologian debating the anti-SDA? I think that would make more sense.
What would make sense is if an SDA actually stepped up and defended their faith. You are welcomed to start.
About 19 minutes in, she's correct in saying that Seventh Day Adventists believe that future sins need to be confessed and forgiven as they are committed, but does the bible contradict that idea or support it? 1 John 1:9 says to people who are ALREADY SAVED and have ALREADY ACCEPTED Jesus "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness" and again in 1 John 2:1 he says that these things he has written that we may not sin, but IF we sin we have an advocate with the Father" which means that there is a court and a judgment, and Jesus is our Advocate (judgement and advocate are both legal terms) before the Father, interceding His blood on our behalf. Regarding the so-called "split atonement", apart from what I mentioned in 1 John there is also Hebrews 7:25 saying that Christ ever lives to make intercession for us, that is, He is continually interceding for us through the blood shed on Calvary.
The idea that Adventists believe in a "split atonement" is predicated on the idea that Christ's atonement is a once-off, when in fact His SACRIFICE is a once off, but the atonement that is accomplished by that sacrifice is a continuous atonement, because according to Hebrews 7:25 there is a continuous intercession our behalf, the intercession does not stop, unless our repentance stops and we don't confess our sins anymore because we believe "once saved always saved" (Perseverance of the Saints, the P in TULIP ---- Is Arminianism a cult? Is Calvinism the standard of orthodoxy or mainstreamism?)
God bless you Enrico for standing up for the truth.
FUTURE SINS not convfessed byt the memory of them is in the sanctuary and Jesus had to enter as high priest If it was not so Jesus would have been on vacation since his ascension
Hebrews 9 contradicts it.
@@justrosy5 how?
We as Seventh day Adventist believe that Christ made a full and complete atonement for the sins of the world on the cross. This atonement was made for every person on this planet though every individual has a choice to accept or reject the salvation that Christ offers. Christ atonement on the cross and the Day of Atonement are two separate events.
About 11 minutes in she makes a strong claim that James White sold Ellen White's visions to make money out of them...I'd like to see where I can find some substantiation for that very strong claim
Don't expect these two haters of Adventism to provide facts; just their twisted, biased, snarky narrative.
@@charity2275 that part I expect, and I expected that Cultist would expect that as well, and because they should have expected that as well, they should have asked more probing questions to get to the facts of what they are saying, but instead they accept what is being said without question, providing these ladies with an "I agree, I agree" echo-chamber
You can't. Because I even looked for it.
@@charity2275 Don't you say Sunday worship is the mark of the beast without any scriptural proof? Every doctrine of the 7th day Adventist beliefs deminish CHRIST as Eternal GOD, High Priest completing the Atonement Resurrection Sunday, satan bears our sins on his back, CHRIST is Michael one of many chief princes, being an angel with satan one of the same, JESUS wasn't GOD all mighty while on earth, the cross is not sufficient we need to make ourselves worthy. No security in our salvation and our salvation is dependent on Torah covenant laws.
what stupid nonsense people come up with to avoid the truth that they are in babylon and will soon receive the mark of the beast unless they leave
Incoming all the SDAs who are mad about the veil being pulled back.
I am a SDA, and this is FALSE information being presented
@@susanbarnhart7310 yeah yeah, we know. Anyone who corrects you guys “doesn’t know what Adventists believe” or are “misrepresenting Adventism”. We’ve literally been hearing this from you guys for decades at this point. No one cares. We’re going to keep exposing Adventism for its damnable doctrines straight from the pit of Hell and watch God save people from this cult.
I am not mad, I am saying that false information is being passed on
@@susanbarnhart7310 I am a 7th day sabbath keeper who attempted to go to a SDA church. SDA is definitely not Christian. I'll be doing a live show tomorrow discussing why with a former 3rd generation SDA joining me.
To deny people membership because I disagree with a claim of Ellen white, is the sign of a cult when there is no source on earth, Jewish or Christian, that will agree the day of atonement can ever be as late as Oct 22. Not one source on earth. Yet I am denied membership for saying she was wrong. And you don't think that is cutlish?
I was never denied membership. I was told to check her writings after I joined. In reality we could point fingers and call every denomination a cult in some way.
I was born and raised in Adventism. My family and I came out of it in 2005 when I graduated from high school. It took me several years to fully know what to believe or think. I didn’t trust myself or anyone else. I finally truly heard the gospel from the Former Adventist Podcast this past September, and I know that I am born again! It has been difficult and painful coming out of such a deceptive cult. God is so good and has been so patient with me! Thank you for sharing the lies and deceptions of this cult! It has helped tremendously to peel back all the layers of the trauma in my life and the incorrect ways of thinking along with the belief in a false Jesus. I was praying to God that I wouldn’t be deceived and that I would know the true Jesus, and He led me to your channel. It has been so freeing, and I have real peace now. I know that I am sealed until the day of redemption and nothing and no one can take me out of the Father’s hand. That is something to truly have joy about!
now you feel free so sin
So what false Jesus do Adventist believe?
@@ordoabchao5894 Jesus says if you love me, prove it by doing my comments
Hi, I have watched many of your videos and really appreciated them. However, I have been an SDA for 30 years and in that time not one SDA I have met or known thinks that Christ is a created being. Christ is part of the Godhead and therefore eternal. There are also other misunderstandings based on the two ladies remarks that just aren't accurate. The Holy Spirit is a person NOT a force. I truly believe that I am born again. I pray that God will encourage you to revisit this topic in the future.
Seventh-day Adventists who are baptized believers in Adventist doctrine (28 Beliefs) are not Christian. Adventism teaches doctrines which are cursed in the bible. For example, the Adventist gospel message of 3 Angels Messages is not found in the bible and according to Gal. 1:6-9 this gospel is cursed. A church which preaches a gospel which is cursed is not Christian. Adventism is not Christian and not part of the larger Protestant Christian community.
Galatians 1:6-9: 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 not that there is another one, but there are some who trouble you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. 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. 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.
@@AcademyApologia I believe I am a Christian and a Protestant first and an SDA second. I believe that at the end of time there will only be two camps - believers (out of many denominations) and unbelievers. As regards to the 28 beliefs, I'm pretty sure that most Christians would agree with at least 20 of them if not more. Every denomination has something that makes it different and unique from others... Baptists, Methodists Lutherans ets etc and I do not believe that we are any different in that respect. I believe we do preach the Gospel as mentioned in Matthew 24. and not another Gospel such as the prosperity, social or climate gospel. I'm surprised that you are saying we are cursed for using the book of Revelation as an end-time message that does not point people back to the Gospel. The Three Angels’ Messages are God’s special messages for last-day Christians. This message is to be shared with the world and will reach its climax with the second coming of Jesus. The First Angel’s Message proclaims the EVERLASTING GOSPEL and calls for the restoration of the true worship of God as Creator, because the judgment hour has arrived (Revelation 14:6, 7) The Second Angel’s Message warns against all humanly-originated forms of worship and beliefs that are not based completely on God’s Word (Revelation 14:8). The Third Angel proclaims God’s solemn warning against worshiping the beast and his image (Revelation 14:9-12). These three messages call us to worship Christ as the Creator, not to follow any religion that does not have Christ at the centre of it and finally that we will have to make a choice between Christ and Satan o how is that not Christian?. I believe in Repentance, Justification by faith, Righteousness by faith, and eternal life and salvation by and through what Christ did on the Cross. So thank you for your reply but I truly believe I am a Christian - one who follows Christ.
@@higherlevelministries2163 I know yoiu believe yoiu are a Christian, because that is what you church teaches, but Adventists are not Christians. One example from you comment above is the gospel message of Adventism and the 3 Angels Messages are not a gospel found in the bible, but the those accepting this false gospel are in the bible and identified as twice cursed, you are twice cursed (Gal. 1:6-9)
The specific gospel messages of these three angels are not in Revelation 14. Below are some of the messages of these 3 angels sourced from the 28 Beliefs book and the Discipleship Handbook:
*3 angels gospel messages*
*1st angel* -Fear God, worship the Creator, Hour of His judgment has arrived, attention to the 4th commandment, message against Darwinism, Restoration of God’s Holy Law
*2nd angel* -Babylon are apostate religions, Heretical teachings, Babylon falls because she rejects the 1st angels message, Many Protestants have departed from the great Bible truths of the Reformation,
*3rd angel* -True and False worship, the true and false gospel, Reject the Sabbath and choose to worship on Sunday, with the full knowledge of it is not God’s appointed day or worship, will receive the Mark of the Beast.
For example, where in the Bible can I find as the gospel message for Christians to warn people of the false message of evolution popularized by Charles Darwin as the Adventist first angel did in his gospel message?
@@AcademyApologia The 3 angels messages ARE found in Revelation 14... I never said that the messages found in Revelation 14 are the Gospel, they are warning messages to the world to make a choice about Christ and His Gospel. I'm not sure what your point is on Darwinism, but isnt it the aim of every Christian to defend the Gospel against Evolution? And yes Revelation 14:9-12 from my understanding is that if you reject the Sabbath and choose to worship on Sunday, after hearing the full details, that it is not God’s appointed day of worship, you will receive the Mark of the Beast (because every believer will have to make a choice at the end of time). However there are countless Christians who have lived for the faith through the ages who worshipped on Sunday and will most definitely be in the resurrection when Jesus returns, because they lived by the light they knew and understood just like all of us do. God will judge each one of us according to light we were given and how we lived accordingly.
I think this conversation may well go round in circles so thank you for your time, it was worth the discussion just to find out what you actually think of Adventists as I have not heard that viewpoint before. I have enjoyed watching many of your videos and will miss watching them in the future as I learned a lot from them. All I can say is that Christ is my Saviour, my friend and my King and I am looking for Him to return very soon. Let's pray that we are all ready for that day.
@@higherlevelministries2163 I grow weary of teaching Adventists about Adventism. There is a reason Rev. 14:6 is championed by the SDA as the gospel and Adventism cites the "everlasting gospel." But then again Adventists recognize they preach a unique gospel and admit they -cannot preach the gospel of the Apostle Paul* Adventist thus denies the biblical gospel that was given to Christians in the bible:
“To the Seventh-day Adventist Church has been committed, this message. The everlasting gospel was preached by Noah, by Abraham, by Paul and Peter, and by all the prophets and apostles of past ages. It was preached in the setting appropriate to their day. We cannot preach this gospel message as Noah preached it, or as Paul or Luther gave it. It is for us to preach it in the setting of God's great threefold message of Revelation 14.”
“The preaching of the principles of religious liberty constitutes a part of our message.”
“The principles of health constitute a part of the message”
“The Gospel Message and the Gospel Messenger”. Advent Review and Sabbath Herald, 29 November 1934, p. 1
So not true! We do preach that Jesus died on the cross for our sins.

Over the last few day I have had heated debates with several members of the SDA Church and I've learned that SDA veiw points change the meaning of so many passage and concepts of the New Testement such as the Concept of God's Grace, that it gives the SDA a twisted view of the actual meaning as presented in the New Testement. This leads to a lot of cherry picking and out of context passage in an attempt to defend their heretical views.
Exodus 31:15 Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the Lord: whosoever doeth *ANY work* in the sabbath day, *he shall surely be put to death*
*Do these verses about Sabbath keeping say anything about forgiveness?* NO. It says take them out and put them to death, no mercy whatsoever! I'm sure they went out to be stoned crying for mercy, *but they found none* . As it is written in *Exodus 25: 20 Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared. 21 *Beware of him, and OBEY his voice, PROVOKE him not; for he will NOT PARDON your transgressions* for my name is in him. And again, *Joshua **24:19* And Joshua said unto the people, Ye cannot serve the Lord: for he is an holy God; he is a jealous God; *he will NOT FORGIVE your transgressions NOR YOUR SINS*
*There is nothing in Exodus 20 or Exodus 31 about *"Well I TRY" to keep the Sabbath"* because a person who does, *"ANY WORK"* was taken out and stoned whether they were "TRYING" or not. Heb. 10: 28 *He that despised Moses' law died WITHOUT MERCY under two or three witnesses* :
*TO ALL WHO READ THIS:* Please understand, that the Adventists and their like have never kept the 10 commandments. And, Neither do they keep the Sabbath. It's never been about keeping the 10 commandments, it's about *"drawing away disciples after themselves"* which is condemned in scripture and Ellen G. White herself*.
If the Adventist's were ever once Christian, they have lost it and converted to the law for righteousness. Christ has become no avail to them. They've done *despite to the Spirit of Grace* and returned to the law for righteousness. Christ suffered and died to redeem once, but now they've rejected that and *"there remains no more sacrifice for them"* They've treated the blood by which you are sanctified an "unholy thing"* As it is written, "26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, *there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,*
27 *But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.*
28 *He that despised Moses' law died WITHOUT MERCY under two or three witnesses* :
29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, *who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?*
30 For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.
31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
They are STILL under the Old Covenant. Wherefore, it is written, *"COME OUT OF HER MY PEOPLE"*
When I was a SDA teen, the only way I ever had even a slight understanding of the Gospel was when I showed up to a fairly community-based Bible study at an Adventist couple's house. It wasn't only SDAs who were invited, as this couple believed in being more open-invitation than that (and in treating all guests as real equals). Somewhere along the way, someone said something that perked my ears up. It didn't make sense, so I asked for more information. That led to a really good discussion about what the Gospel actually is and means, and that was the first time I was actually happy, because I understood for myself that the doctrinal BS of the Adventist church, as it had been shoved down my throat since birth, didn't mean a thing and I didn't have to be afraid of it anymore.
I think that's what it takes to help get people out of the SDA church. Just invite a lot of differently-minded people over for a Bible study or prayer meeting, or just a Christian potluck of some sort, and include Adventist teens. Be sure there's some vegan and other vegetarian food though; don't make them feel left out (they've been brainwashed about this, and it's not a battle worth picking at this point). If you really want to make them comfortable, include some plain Fritos, a bunch of burrito fillings (no burrito wraps though), and let them show you how a true Adventist haystack is made! But that's not the point (just a word of culinary advice). The point is to allow the conversation to flow freely, among believers of various Christian and Adventist faiths.
Don't expect any immediate "I'm leaving the SDA church" talk though. This is a work in progress that takes years, and it'll happen long after you don't even know the SDAs anymore. You're just seed-planting right now. But if you want them to understand the Gospel, that's how you do it - through exposure to non-SDAs in an organic conversational setting. No study guides. No sermons. No weird "comic books" about the Gospel either. Just organic conversation, with Bibles available but not required.
Be prepared for a lot of "Sister White" talk. That can't be helped, pay no mind to it. Just keep bringing the conversations you're in right back to the Bible. Adventist young people are pretty sharp, and they know that the Adventist church has been shoving Ellen White down their throats. A lot of them aren't too happy with the Adventist schools calling it "Bible class" when it's really "Ellen White class." They feel like they're being sold short, because they're not even being asked to open their Bibles, so they don't wind up having much conversation in class about what's in the Bible. They know they're supposed to read it, and sometimes do work on that, but mostly, they want guidance while reading it. They've been taught all their lives that, because they didn't go to a Seminary already, then surely, they must not know enough and should "guard against their own interpretations." I.e, they're taught that they're stupid in Biblical things (but not in any other subject in school, of course).
Really, they just need a chance to open their Bibles rather than turning to EGW books for all their information. That can happen through those organic conversations with non-Adventists. Oh, something else: they're very familiar with how to use a concordance, but are typically weak in the area of actual Lexicons. They often don't know the difference, either. Be prepared to refer a lot to Blue Letter Bible, maybe on your phone or a tablet. They'll love it!

As a SDA I found it interesting to listen to the history that isn’t really talked about in California. Ellen White isn’t really taught in schools and the Gospel is. I can’t speak to the leaders and the actually structure of the institution. But all the men in my Bible study never reference White, but look at the Bible. We may note be considered SDA by the testimonies of these women. I found the discussion focusing on an old article. But, I happy to listening to their critique. In my opinion, following Christ and the scripture is more important than being a SDA.
Seventh-day Adventists who are baptized believers in Adventist doctrine (28 Beliefs) are not Christian. Adventism teaches doctrines which are cursed in the bible. For example, the Adventist gospel message of 3 Angels Messages is not found in the bible and according to Gal. 1:6-9 this gospel is cursed. A church which preaches a gospel which is cursed is not Christian. Adventism is not Christian and not part of the larger Protestant Christian community.
Galatians 1:6-9: 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 not that there is another one, but there are some who trouble you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. 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. 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.

Nikki was right and I've seen this happen many times when talking to Adventists. When you start asking Adventists questions that they can't answer, the only thing they can respond with is their sort of mantra that they've been taught to say back to Christians -- "If you love me, keep my commandments"; "The 7th day is the Sabbath", "The 10 Commandments are eternal", etc. They don't know what else to say after that and they get very upset and start assuming bad motives on the part of the Christian.

Here we see Ellen G White having her writings placed EQUAL to scripture....
Let's see here 🧐...

Now let's see what fundamental belief #18 has to say about the IDENTIFYING MARK of the REMNANT CHURCH 🤔....
FUNDAMENTAL BELIEF #18
One of the gifts of the Holy Spirit is prophecy. This gift is an IDENTIFYING MARK of the REMNANT CHURCH and was MANIFESTED in the ministry of ELLEN G. WHITE.
(SO.... here we see that as a member of the REMNANT CHURCH you MUST vow to ACCEPT the IDENTIFYING MARK of the REMNANT CHURCH which was MANIFESTED in ELLEN G WHITES writings)
Now let's see what the spirit of prophecy herself has to to say about her writings....
ELLEN G WHITE:
We "MUST" follow the directions given through the spirit of prophecy [Mrs. White's writings]. ... God has spoken to us through His Word. He has spoken to us through the Testimonies to the church and through the books that have helped to make plain our present duty and the position that we should now occupy." (Testimonies, Vol. 8, p. 298)
(Now explain how this is not placing her writings EQUAL to scripture)???

31 minutes in "none of them believe in the inerrancy of Scripture"....where does she get that?
It’s untrue…so I was wondering where she got that, too!
they believe in the scripture as interpreted by ellen g white. which is the same as saying we can only understand it as ellen g white has explained it to us.
This is FALSE INFORMATION! I am a Seventh Day Adventist! The author of the cult book, Retracted saying that the SDA ( Seventh Day Adventist) IS NOT A CULT.
He also showed William Johnson live in national TV that James White exposed his very own wife Ellen G White about lying....
Do your homework clown 🤡
Where did he do that? 30 years later, he was on The Jon Ankerberg show, expressing deep concern for the direction of the SDA church.
If the Seventh Day Adventists are wrong please explain why The Ten Commandments say that God’s Sabbath is the 7th Day and the Catholic Church even admits that the Catholic Church changed the Day of Worship to Sunday the 1st day of the week? This would seem to me that the Catholic Church is the Cult!
@Joel Villarreal I know the SDA Church reads and follows E G White writings but I have never heard anyone putting her Books on equal level with the Bible and can you explain why most churches follow the Catholic lie about Sunday.
You have been lied to. Constantine didn't "change" the day but put into law what was always the Christian practice. Christians met on the first day of the week (Sunday) because it's Lord's Day (Rev. 1:10; 1 Cor. 16 etc.). Ignatius of Antioch, a disciple of the apostle (died 110) wrote: "If, therefore, those who were brought up in the ancient order of things have come to the possession of a new hope, no longer observing the Sabbath, but living in the observance of the Lord's Day, on which also our life has sprung up again by Him and by His death." The Christian Sabbath is the first day of the week.
There is no explanation why other churches follow the Catholic Church Day of worship? Perhaps they are afraid of being criticized because they fall outside the normal tradition of following Catholic Sunday Worship? Protestant is called that because they’re protesting some Catholic traditions but they still follow the biggest one of all “changing God’s Sabbath.

28 minutes in I concur with the 1957 position presented by the two ladies in the sense that we did indeed cherry-pick our leaders who would contribute to the conversation regarding the book and the marginalization of more conservative leaders, that did indeed happen, and we are divided as a church regarding that book
Dear friends
I am SDA. I was raised SDA. I struggled with the SDA message for some time but through study and prayer I intellectually continue in this faith and not with “blind devotion. It is my prayer you will with open mind read what I have to say in response to these episodes.
The first question I have is why are these “SDA experts” featured? Why is not a current SDA member on the panel for discussion? Over the years I’ve been exposed to individuals such as these ladies and rarely can an objective discussion ensue due to overwhelming bias. In fact the majority of the “facts” presented here are skewed to fit their narrative. Where is the balance? It is clear the Apologia hosts have already made up their minds before the conversation could even give anyone the opportunity to make an informed decision? Where are the biblical texts to back up the information presented? Where are the historical documents?
We should have learned over the past few years,in particular, that ad hominem,“character” attacks should alert to the fact something is amiss; this is exactly what’s going on here.
It should also be noted that anyone who’s “ministry” is for the primary purpose of discrediting a group might ought to raise some eyebrows as well. Aren’t there usually two sides to a story?
For instance they call attention to “insider” Sabbath school lessons and other written materials. The sole purpose for this is to make it seem secret or insider or cultish; these “experts” would have you believe there is some conspiratorial information ONLY for SDAs. I find this laughable. A simple Google search and you’ll find this “insider” information. The fact is anyone can acquire these items at adventistbookcenter.com/ and most of it on Amazon; not so insider…
These “experts” would have you believe Adventists hold some distorted view of the soul when in fact we hold the biblical view of soul sleep. (Ecc. 9:5) www.amazingfacts.org/media-library/study-guide/e/4987/t/are-the-dead-really-dead-
They would have you believe the Sabbath doesn’t matter. (Ex 20:8-11). They poke fun at the idea of a great controversy between Christ and Satan. But doesn’t the Bible introduce such an idea in Genesis 3:1? Did God really say? (Questioning God’s authority); What about Satan presenting himself in the councils of God regarding Job (Is anyone loyal to God?) Job 1:6-12); Lucifer wanting to ascend to the heavens (Be like the Most High) Isa. 14:14; The temptations of Christ (who will you worship?) Matt 4:1-11; Or how about Michael and his angels? (physical battle) Rev 12:7. Do these not at least allude to a struggle? Paul admonishes us not to forget we do not fight against flesh and blood (Eph 6:12). What about Christ sweating as it were great drops of blood in Gethsemane? Is that only from physical strain or perhaps He’s become the Sacrifice and the sins of the world are laid upon His head? Lk 22:44
There is spiritual battle. 1 Peter 5:8-9.
Again I ask is it too hard to believe in a controversy between Christ and Satan? If that’s not too much of a stretch then ask yourself why do these experts along with the hosts of Cultish poke fun; ad hominem.
I would suggest reading The Great Controversy for yourself with Bible in hand.

They would have you believe William Miller came up with a “theory” of a day for a year to back up his end time predictions. A day for a year is not his “theory” but is in fact supported by the Bible itself. 1844madesimple.org/year-day-principle/
Another point. Does not Apologia Church hold to sola scriptura ( I’m not trying to attack this church; the question needs to be asked)?
If so then why do it’s pastors not teach Sabbath observance? Did not God say, “Remember the Sabbath day…? (Ex 20:8-11) Is there any biblical text(s) giving evidence to authority to remember the Sunday? Did Christ come to abolish the law or fulfill it? (Matt 5:17-20) Which law did he come to fulfill? Is Christ not the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world? (Rev 13:8); Jesus fulfilled the sacrificial system. He did not nail the Decalogue to the cross.
Jesus has identified His faithful remnant as those who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus (Rev 12:17).
He did not say keep part or almost or do away with one of the commandments or it’s okay to keep a human tradition ( because it commemorates His resurrection)…no He has said if you love me keep commandments. (Jn 14:15). Nowhere in my Bible is there mention of commemorating His resurrection day on Sunday. I am not admonished in my Bible anywhere to honor a man made custom in lieu of. I just can’t find it anywhere and if evidence can be shown to the contrary I’d happily keep Sunday if that is God’s command.
So why do Protestants keep Sunday? By what authority? Where is the command found? These questions need to be asked.
Have you looked at the history regarding Sunday keeping? Do some digging.
Here’s an interesting article written some time ago. www.practicaprophetica.com/books/atj/romes-challenge-why-do-protestants-keep-sunday/
In fact further historical study regarding the Reformation leads to the Council of Trent. You may be shocked as to what was decided. And this may be hard to read but the council found the Protestant Reformation an unwarranted revolt. Why? Because they claimed the scripture alone as sole authority but Protestants stated in the Augsburg Confession they keep the “Lord’s Day” as appointed by the Church (Catholic). Thus the Council of Trent ruled the Reformation as nothing more than a revolt. And look what happened in October 2016; Protestants have gone into ecumenical council with Pope Francis in effect handling over the what remains of the Reformation. You can read more about here: www.sabbathtruth.com/sabbath-history/the-council-of-trent
And: amp.theguardian.com/world/2016/oct/29/reformation-luther-pope-francis-catholics

This may discredit everything I’ve said thus far but what’s been presented here is false information and false teachings. These well intending individuals are leading folks down the wrong road. Please. Please. Do your own study. I’ve provide links; you can start there. And I’ll provide a few more resources below.
At the very least read the first chapter of The Desire of Ages, entitled, God with Us. Use your Bible compare this chapter with scripture . I challenge you to see if this is “cultish”.

I am a 3rd generation SDA. I left for several years and returned in 1985. It is a decision that I have never regretted!
There are several issues of concern in this discussion. Adventists DO believe in the inerrancy of Scripture. We DO know what the gospel is. We DO believe in the Trinity! We teach that the Holy Spirit is NOT an “It!” Adventists don't believe that Jesus is a creted being. I wish that you had featured a least one current SDA instead of former Adventists. I don’t know where these women are getting their info about all Adventists think a certain way. It is incorrect. The term “Archangel” means chief of the angels. It is not in any way teaching that Jesus is an angel.
Next time, please feature current SDA’s who can correctly portay Adventist beliefs.
You also believe in the inerrancy of Ellen G White...
You also believe Jesus is Micheal...
You also believe that the fourth commandment alone seals you for salvation....
You also believe that you MUST follow the directions given through Ellen G White...
You also place Ellen G White equal to scripture...
How about discussing that now?
Joel, you’ve never spoken to me, so how do you know what I believe? I believe in the inerrancy of scripture. Ellen White’s writings are not scripture, and therefore not inerrant, or a substitute for them. SDA’s are not a monolithic group. Some are vegans, some vegetarians, some pescatarians, etc. The common thread is the desire to honor God with our bodies. We hold the same principles, but have different ways to approach them.
Oops! I didn't read your entire reply! Sorry. I think I addressed most of your Ellen white questions by saying that I do not place her writings on the level of the scripture, and neither did she. Now let me ask you something. What do you do with the 10 Commandments? Do you believe that they are still binding? Is it true that the only one that you really question is the fourth commandment? I’m just curious to know how you approach the moral law.

I believe in what the Bible says. I do not place Ellen White’s writings on the same level as Scripture. With that being said, some of the most beautiful books that I have ever seen about Christ, like “The Desire of Ages,“ and “Steps to Christ,”were written by Ellen White. When one reads those books, one cannot help but feel that they are inspired. But, are they on the same level as scripture? no. Nothing is on the same level as Scripture.
You still never answered me about the commandments. What do you believe about them?
The Adventists teach that Adolf Hitler is now resting and keeping the Sabbath. Isn't that wonderful?
@@Metalhefe Sure, you do. If Christ was "keeping the Sabbath" "Resting" on the Sabbath *so was Judas who betrayed Christ* and the *murderer too,* who was crucified with Christ. The whole entire argument that "Christ was keeping the Sabbath" while in the grave is utterly ridiculous. If you all are going to make the claim for one, it's good for all. According to Adventist theology All the dead are "resting on the Sabbath" every Saturday.
@@Metalhefe Christ was dead too, how come you all claim he was keeping the Sabbath?
Judas was a Sabbath keepers, he was dead too, so, if Christ was keeping the Sabbath so was Judas.

I guess, Ellen G. White is still keeping the Sabbath too according to the Adventists.

SDA DOES BELIEVE IN THE TRINITY Father,Son, and Holy Spirit
Only in 1980. General Conference released this position.
That’s still problematic. Ellen White stated that Jesus got a job promotion, and that’s what made Satan jealous. So Jesus, according to her, was not eternally co-equal. All that to say that you cannot say that you believe in the orthodox Christian trinity and EGW simultaneously.
You MUST strike out this from her writings and state that she was incorrect, but SDAs will never do that. Here is the quote:
ELLEN WHITE 1 SP 17:2:
The great Creator assembled the heavenly host, that he might in the presence of all the angels confer special honor upon his Son. The Son was seated on the throne with the Father, and the heavenly throng of holy angels was gathered around them. The Father then made known that it was ordained by himself that Christ, his Son, should be equal with himself; so that wherever was the presence of his Son, it was as his own presence. The word of the Son was to be obeyed as readily as the word of the Father. His Son he had invested with authority to command the heavenly host. Especially was his Son to work in union with himself in the anticipated creation of the earth and every living thing that should exist upon the earth. His Son would carry out his will and his purposes, but would do nothing of himself alone. The Father’s will would be fulfilled in him. Satan was envious and jealous of Jesus Christ.
do not does
Jesus didn’t get a promotion he is the creator. All things were made through him he created Lucifer who became jealous at some point. The problem with this cultish program is you don’t really have adventist on your show who can actually explain to you what we believe. You should look for the video “go tell the world” a seven day video explaining the history of our church.
I’m SDA and I don’t believe in the Catholic Trinity! I believe in the Godhead, God the Father, God the Son and the Holy Spirit is the spirit of either the Father or the Son.
Talking with Adventists -
are either having cognitive dissonance - a mental conflict that occurs when your beliefs don't line up with your actions.
Or Worse Double speak just to fool true believers!
I'm an SDA, so there's a lot I could say about this presentation. However, I'll focus my response mostly on the doctrine of the Trinity, which seems to be the overarching theme here. It's true that some of our founders (specifically those coming from the Christian Connection) didn't believe in the Trinity. However, to accuse us of lying when we say we believe in the Trinity today - because our "roots" will always truly define who we are - is preposterous. Basically, you're saying no church denomination, once established, can "grow in grace and knowledge" (2 Peter 3:18). I've been an SDA most of my life, and although I occasionally run into antitrinitarians, most of my fellow SDAs believe in the eternal Sonship of Christ (fully divine in every sense as the Father is) and that the Holy Spirit is the third person of the Godhead, not simply an extension of God or of Christ. Yet this lady grossly misrepresents our belief, looking for anything (such as the Clear Word paraphrase) to prove we really aren't trinitarians to add weight to the cult label. And to say we don't believe in regeneration? Really? Is it because we teach that a born-again believer should keep ALL TEN of God's commandments in loving response to His grace? (Exodus 20:6; John 15:10). Or is it because we teach that atonement involves a priestly as well as a sacrificial phase? God's way is in the sanctuary (Psalm 77:13), and the sanctuary illustrates that the lamb's blood must be not only shed by the penitent but also applied by the priest. Christ was the sacrificial Lamb on earth, and He is now the High Priest in heaven (see Hebrews, the book evangelicals tend to ignore when discussing the atonement).
Did James White die a Christian? He died in 1881, well before the so called conversion to the Trinity?
Your divinely inspired revelator Ellen White) never used the word Trinity in an instructive sense to teach or explain the Trinity. Why? She did refer to God as a tri-thestic God using such terms as "Heavenly Trio" and "The Three worries." This is tri-theism,not monotheism.
Your Jesus did not die on the cross for the sins of man as taught by your seer and revelator and others. There is no such biblical teaching as a two phased atonement or of an atonement concurring in heaven. This is a doctrine made up by Adventists.
“And this salvation is secured by the offering of " one sacrifice for sins," which is the blood or body of Jesus Christ. See Heb. 10: 10-14. *It is a great error to suppose this offering, or atonement, was completed when Christ was slain on Calvary.* Those who will carefully read the book of Hebrews will learn that the intercession of Christ as High Priest at the throne in Heaven,-the offering of the merits of his blood in the presence of the Father,-is just as necessary to salvation as the shedding of that blood. Under the law, the sinner might slay his victim, as sinners slew Christ on Calvary, but unless the priest offered the blood in the sanctuary or at the altar, the atonement for his sin was not made.”
Cottrell, B. F. Eld. “Nature and Destiny of Man - No. 6” Advent Review and Sabbath Herald, 18 January 1881. p. 135
*“The idea that the atonement for the sins of the world was completed on the day when Christ rose from the dead, is an error which is very prevalent in the orthodox world of today.* It is an error which is often made to do duty in supporting the Sunday Sabbath institution, on the ground that, as redemption is a great and glorious work, the day on which it was completed is especially worthy of our commemoration. For having held and publicly taught a different view, Seventh-day Adventists have been denounced in bitter terms, and accused of denying the atonement altogether.”
L.A.S. “The Atonement Not Completed” Advent Review and Sabbath Herald, 13 March 1888. p. 176
“The blood of Christ, while it was to release the repentant sinner from the condemnation of the law, *was not to cancel the sin; it would stand on the record in the sanctuary until the final atonement;* so in the type the blood of the sin-offering removed the sin from the penitent. But it rested in the sanctuary until the day of atonement.”
White, Ellen. “Patriarchs and Prophets” Oakland: Pacific Press Publishing Company, 1890, p. 357
“The death of Christ and the atonement are not the same thing. And this relieves the matter of all difficulty. *Christ did not make atonement when he shed his blood upon the cross.* Let this fact be fixed forever in the mind.”
Smith, Uriah. “Looking Unto Jesus”. Battle Creek: Review and Herald Publishing Co., 1898, p. 237

What Bible verse talks about Jesus death on the cross?
1 Peter 2:24. 24 “He himself bore our sins” in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; “by his wounds you have been healed.”
----What is the reason for the cross?
The cross conquers sin and death.
The curse of sin and death was placed on Jesus so that we might obtain the blessings of Abraham (Gal 3:13). Understanding the cross and resurrection as a single event is important here, for it is through the death and resurrection of Christ that death is swallowed up in victory (1 Cor.
----The cross conquers sin and death.
The cross cancels the record of debt that stood against humanity (Col 2:14). On the cross Jesus bore our sins in his body, so that we might die to sin and death (1 Pet. 2:24). The curse of sin and death was placed on Jesus so that we might obtain the blessings of Abraham (Gal 3:13). Understanding the cross and resurrection as a single event is important here, for it is through the death and resurrection of Christ that death is swallowed up in victory (1 Cor. 15:54-55).
-----The cross vanquishes the devil.
On the cross, Christ did not only conquer sin and death, but he conquered the spiritual forces of darkness. A cosmic eruption occurred at Golgotha; a new apocalyptic force entered the world and the old magic was conquered by a deeper magic. He disarmed the power and authorities, putting them to open shame, and triumphs over them on the cross (Col. 2:14). When Christ rises from the dead he is seated at the right hand of the Father in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power (Eph. 2:20-21).
----The cross is substitutionary.
The cross is for us, in our place, on our behalf. He laid down his life for His sheep. He is our sacrificial lamb. “Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world” (John 1:29). Just as Abraham raised his eyes and looked and saw a ram to offer as a burnt offering in the place of his son (Gen 22:13), so too we look up and see Jesus as our replacement. He became a curse for us (Gal 3:13), meaning he takes the place of all the enslaved, the rebels, the idolaters, and the murderers. If the conquering of the spiritual forces is the goal, then substitution is the ground or basis for this conquering (Gal. 1:4). “The cross represents not only the great exchange (substitutionary atonement), but also the great transition (the eschatological turn of the ages).”
---The cross is a Trinitarian event.
The Christian faith is distinctively Trinitarian and cross-shaped. Therefore, the cross must reveal the Trinity. God the Father sent the Son to save the world, the Son submitted to the Father’s will, and the Spirit applies the work of redemption to Jesus followers. Redemption is predestined by the Father (Eph 1:3-6), accomplished by the Son (Eph 1:7-10), and applied by the Spirit (Eph. 1:13-14). God did not withhold the Son, and the Son surrendered to the Father. Yet the Father is not sacrificing the Son. The Father, the Son, and the Spirit all possess a single will. The sacrifice, while uniquely the Son’s work, is also the will of the three persons.
----- The cross is the center of the story of the Scripture.
A Bible without a cross is a Bible without a climax, a Bible without an ending, a Bible without a solution. The spiral of sin that began in Genesis 3 must be stopped; the death of Jesus terminates the downward spiral. In Jesus’s body, he took on the sin of the world and paid the price of all humanity. At the cross the new Adam, Abraham, Moses, David arises to create a new humanity, family, and kingdom. That is why Paul doesn’t say he decided to knowing nothing except the incarnation, resurrection, or the ascension of Jesus, but the nothing except Jesus Christ and him crucified (1 Cor. 2:2). Wisdom was found not beyond the cross, not above the cross, not below the cross, but in the cross.
----The cross redefines power in the kingdom.
Jesus’s announcement that the kingdom of God has come is conclusively revealed in the Christ-event on the cross. The Scriptures narrate how God will manifest his kingship on the earth. He gives Adam and Eve the task of ruling and reigning over the earth as his representatives, but they attempt to seize power for themselves (Gen. 3:5). In fact, all of their children do the same. Babel (or Babylon) is the city opposed to the reign of God. Jesus comes as the true Son and redefines power by displaying strength through weakness. He does not exploit his power like Adam, but empties himself (Phil. 2:5-6). He becomes a servant of all, and thereby is exalted as ruler of all (Phil. 2:9-11).

Susan, you are correct. There are now 22 MILLION Adventists worldwide and the Holy Spirit is guiding more to the truth in the Seventh-day Adventist Church every day, in every nation. Evangelists are LOSING thousands because their members are fed up with the corruption in high places; celebrity preachers scamming money from donations; sexual immorality; accepting gay pastors and letting drag queens preach on Sundays, all seen in the media. I've read articles about some Evangelical groups that appear to be CULTIC.

why
The Gospel is Jesus Christ fro Genesis to Revelation
@Gospel man keep thinking that..Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord and that was before Jesus came. You're not saved by works but faith without works is dead. You can't say I belive and in love Jesus without keeping His commandments. The bible says this in John, Revelation and elsewhere... but you can let the delusions conquer you and lose your salvation or do the works of Jesus who did the works His father. You vav say your a Christian but look and act and speak nothing like one...
@@nicolagrant5450 On the contrary, the Christian is "dead to the law" (Rom 7:4). So your understanding is necessarily errant.
Biblical Gospel is defined in 1 Cor. 15:1-4. NOT what WE do, but what Christ DID as He completed the atonement on the cross.
Their doctrines are entirely the definition of double speak and contradictions. I was Adventist for 27 years, went to Adventist school for 12 years and we were very involved in the church.
The first time I heard the true gospel was 1.5 years ago. It literally took the veil over my eyes. Ever since then the Bible became a joy to read. It used to be confusing and kind of boring. My husband also got saved almost 2 years ago and a weed/alcohol addiction was broken off of him IN ONE DAY! He became a totally different person, husband, dad…
That’s the power of the real gospel and the true Jesus of scripture. I was never taught the difference between the covenants like Abrahamic covenant vs mosaic covenant and where we fit into all this. We are born of imperishable seed through Abraham’s covenant, NOT the law and NOT the mosaic covenant.
Adventists do not know how to study the greek and do proper hermeneutical and exegetical study. All they do is take verses out of context, not going to the Greek, not reading FULL chapters in their context, Their desire during their study is to make sure it aligns with Ellen White’s doctrine and teaching, not to make sure they are getting to truth because many times they will come to a fork in the road and it will be confusing to them when they see very clear verses that contradict what Ellen and the oven is church teaches. So they either have to say oh better minds than mine have figured this out, it’s too confusing, or they have to choose Ellen believing that she was “an inspired prophetess”, aka believing that she brings “greater new understanding to the Bible” or they believe the Bible for what it says and they unhinge themselves from Adventism.
I did the last one.

Neither the SDA church nor EGW teach partial forgiveness of sins. Forgiveness is totally granted to every sinner who receives Christ, repents & confesses his/her sins. His righteousness is credited to the sinner's account at that very moment as if he/she had never sinned. However, the record of "forgiven" sins remains upon the heavenly records and that does not in any way mean the sins aren't forgiven. The sins are covered with the blood of Jesus and so they are completely forgiven. In the same way the high priest in the sanctuary service blotted out the record of forgiven sins & confessed them on the head of the scapegoat who represented Satan, Jesus at the end of His ministration as High Priest will blot out the record of "forgiven" sins of all the truly penitent believers & place them upon satan who will bear the final punishment as the instigator of sin in the lake of fire. Sin is a very serious offence in the sight of the Lord and God through the sanctuary clearly depicts the plan of salvation & how He systematically deals with the problem of sin.
Calvinists also teach partial forgiveness....
@@twaho No they do not.
That's basically heresy. If you believe that, then you believe that Satan bears your sins when the Bible clearly teaches that Christ bore them on the cross. Also: "as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us." Removed, past tense, they're gone. Christ bore them, as in past tense.

She was one of Ellen's "assistants". She was asked to "put the polish on" the writings in the morning. So not only was Ellen White plagiarizing, she was having her assistants plagiarize for her. Their method of silencing a whistleblower was to put Fannie Bolton into an asylum in Michigan and claim that "she's listening to the adversary". By the way, she's most likely the author of steps to christ.

Like the ministry?

You should really debate him live and then you will get a true understanding of what. The SDA church is all about because he is very good at explaining and giving a full understanding of what true adventists doctrine is all about.
And he will help you abundantly with understanding what the Bible is bringing to the surface for us to see it clearly.
The main reason I would say Yes… is there own history/doctrine teaches that Ellen G Whites writings are “Inspired” … and therefore to be revered and followed like Scripture
Even though many SDA that don’t dig deep don’t realize this… but a quick study and you’ll see exactly what I mean.
And under that inspiration adds to God's word
Actually, her writings are considered secondary to the Bible. Also, the Bible is EGWs main source of reference - I don't know an author who references the Bible more than she does in her writings.

One of the last things she said in public, speaking at Pacific Union College not long before she died, was to admonish the students there that, indeed if they could find anything in her writings which was out of harmony with the 66 books of the Old and New Testaments, that they should not believe what she had written.

Read the context, the elect were the 12 tribes, not calvinists
Calvinism is not a cult yo. No Calvinist believes Calvin was a prophet and no Calvinist denies any of the primary doctrines of the faith. They come right out of the Reformation. In fact, another name for it is literally “Reformed theology”. It’s the teaching of the Bible through and through.

There is a saying, you have to convert someone to their own cult before you evangelize to them. To be fair, many people in Evangelical mega churches today don't know Christian doctrine and orthoxy either and in a way are in mini personality cults led by winsome deceptive false teachers who satisfy their passions and itching ears. It is so important to feast on the scriptures daily and find preaching that doesn't fit your flesh like a glove.
what day did Jesus keep the Sabbath? its really not that hard team. I thought we were followers of Christ?
No, you are followers of the persecutors and murderers of Christ. The Adventist's and their like don't understand, and they don't want to see. But, they know, they have never kept ONE Sabbath day according to the commandment. Yet, they want to tell everyone else to do something, they don't do yourself. And, then they tell everyone they did it, when they didn't. God hates that stuff.
Every time they tell someone how they keep the Sabbath or the 10 commandments, the Holy Spirit knows they are lying. It convicts them, but they shut your eyes and mind to it. And, each time they do so, they move further away from Christ and his grace. And then, your heart is hardened all the more. So, now they have no more conscience, it is now easy to deceive yourself and others, with now guilt. Neither do they confess your sins or examine your heart, because to do so, flies in the face of all the countless times, they have told people, "I or we keep the 10 commandments" , when they know they do nothing of the sort. And, thus, they move more and more away from the light into the darkness of the self-deceptive and deceitful heart of Judas, who betrayed Christ with a kiss.
Therefore, it is no great sin to them to testify falsely again their neighbor and Billions of Christians. Their hearts has betrayed Christ, while they kiss him with your lips, your heart is far from his as Judas's was. And, for the love of their cult and to believe a lie, God has their them all strong delusion.
Tonight, they can get on your knees and plead your guilt and clean up your heart and lies. But, I doubt they will because they love your cult more than Christ and deception more than honesty.
He was born under the law to redeem those under the law. In Acts 15, Sabbath was not a requirement. Read Col. 2:16 & 17. Sabbath is a shadow, the rest in Christ is the reality. "Come unto ME & I will give you rest".
@@rebeccagable9629 how can the sabbath be a shadow when it was made before sin ? jesus can give your spiritual rest but he cant force sabbath rest on you. sabbath is a physical rest.
LOve the Ellen. Adventists say their is no fault in her writings.
Ellen G. White, , wrote extensively about the topic of masturbation or "self-abuse" in her books and articles. In her view, masturbation was a sin that could lead to physical and mental harm.
For example, in her book "The Healthful Living," she wrote: "The practice of self-abuse [masturbation] is a terrible sin, and one that will surely be punished, unless it is most thoroughly repented of and forsaken." She also believed that the habit of masturbation could lead to a weakened willpower, moral degradation, and a lack of self-control.
Maybe that explains the frustrated look i see in SDA`s?
Interesting that you picked the topic of masturbation? Are you having issues there?
@peruvianauthorities1739 smart arse, interesting you picked the topic. The point is neither of us are giving advice. It's Ellen, who has prophetic authority over adventism. So are you agreeing or stating its a false teaching of Ellen. Yes or no?
Or maybe that was a misinterpretation of "self abuse" on the part of Adventists. Think about it. Change "masturbation" to "self depreciating" (saying how stupid you think you are, etc). At the very least, doing that makes her statements about that a lot more truthful - and it's a truth that needs a lot more preaching in the Adventist community, IMHO.
She called it "solitary vice" & also wrote that it caused tuberculosis.
@@rebeccagable9629 false prophet would say that wouldn't they!
So the position of the people on this show/podcast is that whatever the SDA founders and people back in the 50’s said about Adventism is still exactly what Adventism is today and hasn’t changed… and if SDA’s try and say otherwise they really don’t mean it…. Even if their official beliefs start with a preamble that says that it’s their best current understanding and if more light is given in the future their beliefs may be amended accordingly.
examples:
Adventism actually officially does uphold:
- trinity
- salvation by grace through faith in Jesus
- prefall nature of Jesus
Adventists are removed from the Book of life even from one unconfessed sin!
This is the assurance of salvation the poor Adventist is offered!
He is judged by the law.
Though claiming not to be under law the law condemns then for failing to keep the covenant ten commandments.
The schoolmaster is in the house of Adventism.
the bible says no sin will enter into heaven. if you know your sinning and dont confess well then your guilty. your under the law of condemnation when you sin . god will judge all by the commandments. only those who accept christ and obey him will have eternal life.
I was a third generation adventist but when I started growing up, I started to question some practices and beliefs...but too bad Adventism would consider you as being "swayed by the devil" when you try to question something. They only care about being politically correct and used fear and guilt tripping to "preach the gospel". No wonder most of the crusades they have is about "end times" (daniel & revelations). They take pride in following the bible word per word but also judged and look down on those people that has different faith and religion. Sad reality.
The vast majority of SDA's do in fact allow others to question! Guess you were surrounded by sitting on the fence.
Peruvian authorities doesn't have a clue what he's talking about
But they don't follow the Bible word per word, their teachings are completely heretical, and anti-Biblical. They have no clue about the Bible bc they do not read it for themselves and rightly divide the word of truth, just like JW, RCC, LDS, "Pentecostals" etc. They are trying to put themselves under a different ministry, in a different dispensation, that was for an entirely different group of people (the Jews). If they would actually read the Bible from cover to cover, for themselves, they would get out of that cult immediately and actually get saved. *(1 Cor.15:1-4)*
@@peruvianauthorities1739 I have a question. Are you going to heaven? If so, how do you know? Have you trusted in the precious shed blood of Jesus Christ, from your heart? His blood atonement on the cross is what saves us, and that alone. *1 Cor.15:1-4* You cannot add anything to that.

You MUST keep the Sabbath legally as an Adventist!
What does Ellen G White say about keeping the Sabbath?
"We are not merely to observe the Sabbath as a legal matter. We are to understand its spiritual bearing upon all the transactions of life" (6T 353)
Their doctrine has never changed as Ellen has full prophetic Authority over Adventism.
What you got was double speak to lull you into thinking that this is just another christian religion and hid the fact it is a cult with its cult prophet who has no error in her writings!
No Ellen no claim to fame as the remnant church of the last days!
this is their fundamental Adventist claim!!!
....................................................
"The Scriptures testify that one of the gifts of the Holy Spirit is prophecy. This gift is an identifying mark of the remnant church and we believe it was manifested in the ministry of Ellen G.

The sanctuary is simply one of the most beautiful messages ever recorded in scripture which clearly depicts the business plan of salvation & how God deals with the problem of sin. In it we see Jesus Christ as the way, the truth & the life. We see the death, burial & resurrection of Jesus Christ for the salvation of humanity. We see Jesus Christ as our Judge & advocate. We see the second coming of Jesus Christ and the destruction of Satan & the wicked. A correct understanding of the sanctuary message clears up the misunderstandings regarding what atonement actually means from a biblical standpoint and many other important bible themes such as the state of the dead, Judgement and the second coming.
Atonement isn't merely an event but a process. The death of Jesus Christ on the cross and the events after the cross are all important events in the atonement. The death of Christ on the cross has already been completed which is why He said "It is finished" as He became the true Sacrificial Lamb. His death is very important as it gives us the title & fitness for heaven through the imputed and imparted righteousness of Christ. Anyone that chooses to accept this special Gift receives mercy as His death saves humanity from the penalty, power & presence of sin.
However, the events after the cross are critical as well to complete the process. The resurrection of Christ, His ministration as our Judge & Advocate, His second coming and the destruction of Satan & the wicked are all crucial events as I mentioned earlier. We cannot say atonement is entirely complete if Satan is still alive & causing so much pain, suffering & sin which prevails in this world. What hope is left for humanity & everyone that has died in Christ if Jesus doesn't return and call them out of their graves. Jesus Christ needs to return at the end of His ministration as our High Priest and take the redeemed with Him to heaven. Satan and all the wicked need to be completely destroyed in the lake of fire as a way of putting an end to sin which is why eternal torment makes no sense at all. The main purpose of the atonement is the salvation of lost humanity & the final eradication of sin. Then and only then can we say that atonement is complete.
@@Over-for-now How do you mean?
That made little sense. Atonement is already completed as the bible teaches, no way it says in the bible atonement is complete after we are in heaven. Period after the cross are periods where salvation is offered to mankind, age of grace per say. Where Jesus commissioned us to make disciples of all nations
@@noelroga4593 Pardon me but I think I need more clarity on your comments before I can give my response.
What's your understanding of the meaning & purpose of atonement? And what exactly do you mean when you say it's already completed?
And what do you mean when you say the period after the cross is the age of grace where salvation is offered to mankind? What was the age before the cross?
the MOST important thing to be noted about the Sanctuary doctrine is that IT COMPLETELY CONTRADICTS what the Bible says about our atonement.
Colossians 1:21-22
//And although you were formerly alienated and hostile in mind, engaged in evil deeds, yet He HAS NOW RECONCILED YOU (perfect tense; completed action) in His fleshly body through death, in order to present you before Him holy and blameless and beyond reproach.\\
2 Corinthians 5:18
//Now all these things are from God, who RECONCILED (past tense) us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation.\\
The Bible describes believers as ALREADY RECONCILED by God to Him through His work on the cross. NO FURTHER ATONEMENT IS NEEDED.
Still not convinced?
Hebrews 10:14
//For by one offering He HAS PERFECTED (perfect tense; completed action) all those who are being sanctified.\\
Our sanctification is still ongoing, but our RECONCILIATION (I.e. atonement, as found in the Greek) is PERFECTED before God. Still need more?
Hebrews 10:15-17
//And the Holy Spirit also bears witness to us; for after saying,
“This is the covenant that I will make with them
after those days, declares the Lord:
I will put my laws on their hearts,
and write them on their minds,”
then he adds,
"I WILL REMEMBER THEIR SINS AND THEIR LAWLESS DEEDS NO MORE."\\
That needs no further explanation. Our atonement is FINISHED, so far as the Bible is concerned.
@@mikkellowe1270 In what way(s) does the sanctuary message COMPLETELY CONTRADICT scripture if it's clearly found in the bible? Didn't the sanctuary services point to the redemptive work of Christ? Doesn't the sanctuary give us a FULL PICTURE of Christ's redemptive work & the true nature of atonement?
My comments do not in any way deny the COMPLETE sacrifice of Jesus Christ. The popular view that the SDA church & EGW deny the finished work of Christ on the cross is a total misunderstanding and completely false. Jesus Christ paid the full price on the cross & His "sacrificial atonement" is already complete. And so the question is what's the importance of His death?
The death of Christ brought an end to the old testament sacrificial offerings of animals which clearly pointed to Him, the True Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. This is what He was referring to when He said "It is finished". His substitutionary death saves humanity from the penalty, power & presence of sin. His death opened the way for every believer to come boldly before His throne to receive forgiveness and by faith claim the benefits of His sacrificial atonement through repentance & confession of sin. His death gives us the title & fitness for heaven through the imputed & imparted righteousness of Christ.
The verses you quoted actually prove what I'm saying so I honestly don't understand the contradiction.Every believer who comes to Him through repentance & confession of sin receives forgiveness. The righteousness of Christ stands in the sinner's place at that very moment as if he/she had never sinned. What follows afterwards is sanctification which is ongoing just like you mentioned.
That being said, it's very important to understand that the resurrection of Christ after His death, His Ascension & Intercessory ministry, His second coming & destruction of satan and the wicked are as important as His death on the cross.
Of what relevance would be His death if Jesus didn't resurrect & ascend to heaven? How can we receive forgiveness & claim His perfect life and death as our own without His Intercessory ministry? How will sin ever come to an end & how will the dead in Christ resurrect if He doesn't return and call them out of their graves?
Once again no one is denying the finished work of Christ on the cross but you have to look at the BIG PICTURE when you define atonement. The sanctuary clearly reveals this.
A certain religion is not a cult just because you dont like it.

@Susan Barnhart not one example in the book of genises of man keeping a Sabbath.
A thinking person, that is not one belonging to a cult, would ask ...why is that?
Major bible characters that do not declare one Sabbath kept!
Hmmm.....maybe they weren't required to....
95% of what Adventism teaches is fable. One can't get past the 2nd chapter of Genesis without running straight into the wall of Adventist fable. . Let's start with Genesis 2.
1. .Adventism teaches Adam and Eve kept the Sabbath in the Garden of Eden. *Pure fable!* Nowhere in scripture.
2. Adventism teaches God kept the Sabbath in Genesis 2. *Pure fable!* Nowhere in scripture.
3. Adventism teaches because Adam and Eve kept the Sabbath in Eden, all mankind is obligated to keep the Sabbath. *Pure fable!* Nowhere in scripture.
The Adventist teach that Adam and Eve kept the Sabbath so “all mankind” is obligated to follow their example! However, there is NO example.
Unlike the Adventist teaching, no one in scripture teaches to follow Adam and Eve in their Sabbath keeping.
Moses didn't teach it.
Christ didn’t teach it!
The prophets didn’t teach it and
neither did the Apostles!
And, the reason is, there is NO example nor a slightest commandment to keep it. .
And, neither did any of them teach that Adam and Eve kept a Sabbath or Rested!
Lastly, if the Adventist's and their like were honest, they would admit they have never kept ONE Sabbath according to the commandment which forbids, "ANY WORK" . What hypocrisy. It's all for show.
@@chucksmith4624 I was never taught the 1st one and 3rd one but for the 2nd one: And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
Genesis 2:2 KJV
That literally means God kept the Sabbath. The Sabbath is the day of rest. Where you take a break, and just have a stress-free day. And of course going to church. But the world had just been made, church hadn't been "invented" yet.
@@adaughterofAthena All of this is much to do about nothing. You don't keep the Sabbath yourself. God doesn't keep Sabbaths and neither does the scripture say Christ nor his Father ever kept the Sabbath.
Jesus's teaching is that Jesus and His Father, *“Works*” on the Sabbath day *and I work also* as Christ taught in John 5:16-19 And for all his Good Works, the Sabbath keepers, *"sought all the more to KILL CHRIST"*
*Christ and his Father "upholds ALL THINGS by his power"* Col.1:17 And he is before all things, and *by him all things consist* (hold together)
Heb. 1:3 There is no greater work done in heaven or earth that WORK. Of course, then the Sabbath keepers *"sought all the more to persecute Jesus and how to KILL HIM"* Most of the Sabbath keepers today, *follow the example of the persecutors and murderers of Christ and their* *"Elders"* .
And, for these things, the Sabbath keepers neither knowing the Father or the Son betrayed and Murdered Christ and the Apostles as they had done to their own Prophets before them.
The $DA use the Sabbath to do evil works, to " *Draw away disciples unto themselves* " to slander their neighbors, bear a false witness against all Christianity and to praise themselves for how wonderful they are and *to lift up the spirit of FALSE prophecy by the thousands.* And, then *blow the trumpet to announce to the world, they are keeping the Sabbath, while they are only PRETENDING* Not one of them keeps the Sabbath according to the commandment.
Did Jesus our God keep the Sabbath of course. I think I will follow the example of Jesus. PERIOD.
I go to 7th day adventists church. I put 5 5$ in my tithing my 3rd week there…some of them don’t seem too pleased and have an attitude afterwards. They even held a little Bible study before the service and talked all about it the next week. Most of the church has went south for the winter so I know they aren’t the type to be struggling right now with cash. 10 percent can be a good chunk too with med costs and everything I didn’t quit smoking and drinking just for my health lol now I go church and all they want is hundreds of dollars from me. The thing is that if I wouldn’t of even put the 5$ in it probably wouldn’t of came up. Blame a man for trying ya know? I’m probably going to do it anyways though. I don’t know.
No, Don't do it!
At the end of my time as an SDA, my husband and I started putting our tithe in an unmarked envelope. I thought. This is between God and me. Not them. I wondered if they would call me out on not paying tithe, since I worked for the SDA church and it is required of church workers to pay tithe. I think they were suspicious. But I didn't do it for a game, I did it out of a strong conviction. I was not part of a "country club," and mandatory tithe of workers, is plain wrong. I was on my way out, I didn't even realize it. I had already stopped attending Sabbath School. I had attended a public University and thankfully was taught there how to think on my own and not merely be a follower. So, in SS when questions came up, I would answer honestly, based on scripture, and sometimes that was not the answer they were looking for. ( It had to align with the established doctrines and EG White)
I'm a Baptist but left my last church. One of the reasons is the pastor preached on tithing A LOT, especially when he wanted money for something. One year the congregation donated $6,000 just so the pastor could buy a John Deere lawn mower for the parsonage and church grounds. He wouldn't settle for a zero-turn from another brand at half the cost. Oh no, he wanted that small but expensive JD mower. I eventually started putting my tithes in the envelope and marking what I wanted it used for. I was no longer going to help that pastor buy ridiculously expensive items.
@@jenniferkwiek4321 I'm so sorry they put you through that, and I'm glad you got a broader context of how life works, through that public University!

What the Adventists were doing was not Biblical at all, and they were soaking you on top of it.

SDA THEOLOGIAN ROBERT BRIMSMEAD: "It is true that there is evidence of literary borrowing by different biblical authors. But in such cases they used material that was the heritage and common property of the covenantal community. It was not private property, and there was no pretense of originality. With Mrs. White, however, the circumstances were much different. WITHOUT ACKNOWLEDGEMENT she used the literary product of those OUTSIDE HER OWN religious community, copyrighted it, and DEMANDED royalties both for herself and her children. Right and wrong are to some extent historically conditioned, but we do not have to surmise the literary ethics demanded in Mrs. White's day. The facts are not ambiguous. SHE DID NOT CONFORM to ACCEPTABLE literary PRACTICES."
Robert Brinsmead, Adventist Theologian, "Judged by the Gospel", p. 172
WHITE ESTATES:
"The great bulk of her comments deal only with the divine source of her material and tend to deny the influence of human thought and opinion. And, thus, while we have no problem with the fact that Mrs. White did borrow, we do wonder why she appears to have denied her borrowing."
Ron Graybill, Associate in the White Estate, Nov 1981 speaking to the Adventist Forum Board
SDA general conference president:
"The historical portions of The Great Controversy that I have examined are selective abridgments and adaptations of historians. Ellen White was not just borrowing paragraphs here and there that she ran across in her reading, but in fact following the historians page after page, leaving out much material, but using their sequence, some of their ideas, and often their words. In the examples I have examined I have found no historical fact in her text that is not in their text. The hand-written manuscript on John Huss follows the historian so closely that it does not even seem to have gone through an intermediary stage, but rather from the historian's printed page to Mrs. White's manuscript, including historical errors and moral exhortations."

As an SDA, I have NEVER heard theology more concise and bullet-proof as in my church.

When I heard the Biblical truth of Annihilation, I wanted to believe it but I'd grown up in a "fire and brimstone" Baptist church and had questions, like what about the Rich Man/Lazarus, or "absent from body/present with Lord" or "He is not the God of the dead but the God of the living", etc.
One by one, God showed me how these "proof" texts were being misinterpreted or misapplied - and your false pulpit prophets who falsely tell you our position is unique ignore the facts of church history, such as when the intrepid Protestant Reformer William Tyndale told Catholic Sir Thomas More:
"And when he [More] proveth that the saints be in heaven in glory with Christ already, saying, “If God be their God, they be in heaven, for he is not the God of the dead;” *there he stealeth away Christ’s argument, wherewith he proveth the resurrection:* that Abraham and all saints should rise again, and not that their souls were in heaven; which doctrine was not yet in the world. *And with that doctrine he taketh away the resurrection quite, and maketh Christ’s argument of none effect..."*
Y'all got that? Your false pulpit prophets *steal away Christ's argument for the resurrection* by arguing "He is the God of the living" just as Catholic theologians do. Well, congratulations. *I defy any man this day to point to a single text as "proof" for Immortal Soul/Eternal Torment doctrine.*

One unconfessed sin according to Ellen their now decease Prophet removes the poor sevy from the book of life and renders the poor sevy UNSAVED!
If this is not a sect where heresie`s abound i dont know what is !
as long as you follow and obey him you will be saved. if you continue in unconfessed sin you could lose your salvation. the bible says no sin will enter into heaven. jesus is author of eternal salvation to those who obey him
@@peppernbo Hi Peppernbo, how you goin? I understand that you are required to maintain your righteousness or lose it. Correct?
@@bop-ya-good through the grace of god yes
@@peppernbo So Grace is conditional, hmm interesting.
I see that as you are on probation in the investigative Judgment it must be this way.
Or Jesus cant remove you from the book of life.
Paul describes this righteousness you have i beleive.
Rom 10:5
For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them. correct?
@@bop-ya-good just follow jesus and you cant go wrong. jesus left us an example to follow
So not true! Jesus died for our sins and we all fall short. We do not do any child/ animal sacrifices. Wow!
These women work for Life Assurance Ministries founded by radical Dale Ratzlaff, a bitter former SDA pastor and teacher who caused a LOT of trouble in the Adventist Church and was told to either RETIRE or be FIRED. So, he lost his credentials as a minister and had to go elsewhere to earn a living so started his own "church" and wrote several books smearing Adventism. Collen and her husband Richard, though SDA at the time were very liberal and believed what Dale wrote including the twisted, distorted narrative and they both were fired by the SDA denomination for things they did and said. Dale HIRED them to work for him. Richard Tinker is president of Life Assurance Ministries (LAM) and Colleen Tinker is editor of LAM's egregious Proclamation magazine sent to thousands of SDAs and former SDAs every Friday. Every article bashes and slanders Adventism and demonizes Ellen White. How do I know? I've read Ratzlaff's books and the sleazy Proclamation every week. I'm gleaning a LOT of information to include in a book I'm writing to EXPOSE the false narrative, the lies, the radical opinions by them and others who MAKE MONEY this way. I won't be surprised if my comment is deleted, shadow banned or ridiculed. That's how these people silence others who disagree with their conspiracy theories.
I did not know that at all. I am standing on the true church when I was lied to a kid in the Methodist and later Baptist churches
I'll look forward to reading your book.
@@Over-for-now If EGW was a false prophet as so many LIARS claim, then how do you explain all the predictions and wise council that she made that have COME TRUE? And more in the near future? God condemns those who hate His prophets, and the Bible is clear that ALL the prophets were hated by wicked people who did not want to hear about their sins. So, EGW is no different. You just proved it.
I saw that when I did research on this. These ladies are in a cult themselves!
@charitu2275, I will be the first to read that book.
Love Nikki and Colleen. Incredible material. I’m a former sda and even run my own show/channel on adventism. It’s great to hear other voices also speaking out and hoping to reveal the truth about adventism. Lovely people (I was one! Lol a 5th gen sda) but a theology that is very deceptive, misleading and actually anti-Gospel. I’d love yo interview you guys sometime to unpack more about what you’re finding. And share it with my diverse (though small) audience!
No, it's not a cult. Every one of our doctrines can be found in the bible. The 7th day as the Sabbath is in the bible, Sunday labeled or announced as sacred or holy or blessed, by Christ or the Apostles, is not. The Investigative Judgment is also in the bible in the book of Exodus and Hebrews. Having a prophet in the church is not weird. It's what the Early church had and it's what many churches claim to have who are not SDA. The immortality of the soul is found no where in scripture, neither is an eternal hell. But it is interesting that it can easily be found in pagan and Greek philosophy.
@@danielcristancho3738 Read Luke 16:19-31.. Call it whatever you want, but you better pay close attention to it. Because, Christ said, the entire old Testament, *"the Law and the Prophets"* , tells you, if your wicked, you are going to be punished immediately after death. So, much so, that instead of calling it, nice peaceful soul sleep, you would wish you could send someone back to life to warn your Adventist's brothers.
All the wicked long for soul sleep at their death, that they may escape from their sins. That's why the wicked commit suicide, because they think they will escape their shame, imprisonment and punishment. They believe as the Atheists and Adventist teach. Moreover, the Adventist encourage the murders of others, the robbers, the rapists to end their life, especially when they cannot find repentance and the escape of the dread of punishment. These wicked will only be like the rich man, absolute stunned by their shocking surprise of find there is a righteous God who will have his angels usher them into the hell and punishment, they were trying to escape. Likewise, does it occur for those who preach soul sleep, for they offer the wicked peace and escape of punishment, therefore, they suffer the same punishment along with the wicked, for having deceived themselves and the world.
When the Ellen G. White and Adventists ministers and followers read Rom.6:23, they think, believe and teach, that death is the Atheist version of death. And, they both believe and teach, that *"Eternal punishment is equal to the death of an animal, like the Atheist's too"* . Wow! Great news to the wicked, everything they've hoped for! Yeah, step on a bug and send it to "Eternal punishment" is exactly what they both believe and teach. Every time Ellen G. White didn't like something she tossed it off as "Pagan" the way the Atheist's do. What idiocy, Socrates and the Greek philosophers received the doctrine of the immortality of the soul from the Old Testament prophets.
@@chucksmith4624 I've already responded to this identical question in another comment section. You're way off base, Chuck.
@@danielcristancho3738 Actually ALL religions start of as cults until they become government sanctioned if you will...And when a religion holds itself aloof simply because it has a dusty instruction book to go with it it becomes even more cultish, dogmatic, rigid, authoritative ("see, look here, it says so in the book, you don't agree then burn in hell"), etc etc
All religions are cultish in nature, because all religions are based on a leader figure (whether self-appointed or not, it's still a leader figure who is often the middle man...In this case it's Iyesus who is the middle man)...Do please remember in the ancient world Christianity was a CULT. The reason it is no longer so is because of backing from the state and money
Side note...Do you know that in ancient Briton (before christianity) there was a sky/sun god called 'Dyeus'? Dyeus/zeus/iyesus...All the same sht, friend. You've been had!
Feel free to wish me to burn in hell, I've had that when i left the SDA church already
Oh and the original Sin? Well that was actually a Sumerian Moon god (many 1000s of years before Christianity), who was known as... 'Sin'...So to be a Sinner literally meant 'To follow Sin (as in the moon God called Sin)...Thing is christian and Muslim and Jewish leaders know all of this (they read a lot more than the two Bulls (Bi - Bull...oops), but they don't like losing members of their congregation to actual truth

Jesus Christ is our rest and he says so in scripture. He fulfilled the law and abiding and resting in him and his love and obeying his commandments of love is what we need to focus on. Not any doctrine or theology but relationship. Religion is dangerous because its manmade and Jesus is against manmade doctrines. Its time to wake up we are very close to tribulation.

What about Ellen g white?
@@Hanshotfirst6688 She would NEVER accept the title of anything other than a Messager. I am a Seventh Day Adventist. I do read her books. If I don't understand something, I use her books as a study guide. People wanted to know if I was going to watch the rest of it. I defended my faith. What people don't know and realize, I grew up Methodist. Married and Divorced Baptist. The Pastor was starting to sound like another false teacher/Pastor. I prayed at one time to donate to Cultish. And after they did the one on SDA, I did not donate.
@susanbarnhart7310 She falsely prophecied that the door of mercy was shut in the 1850s. That nobody else would be saved.
Oh wait, PRESENT TRUTH comes to the rescue and nullifies Deuteronomy 13 and 18. We can just kick the can down the road forever.
Repent of your false prophet. For your own good. It's a disgusting thing that she has done selling people into bondage.
Ellen G White isn’t in the Bible. If you’re true to your statement, you will renounce her
former adventist fellowship truly do care about current SDAs and truly know the Gospel. as a former SDA their ministry has changed my life for the better. i know colleen and nikki personally and they know what theyre talking about. listen to them!
Lol. Talking like both are not former Adventists. You dont know your scriptures thats why you defected. And an Adventists wont say "When you break the Doctrines you get the mark of the beast and die" (Where did you get this from?) Because Adventist know what is the mark of the beast. And its basically the Gods day of Worship. Read the prophecies in the Bible..
Seems like this was just slander and half truths spewed by two bitter women with no intellectual or theological depth, just emotions, would be interested to see a knowledgeable adventist in the mix, im not the most educated but would definitely take the stand to defend my faith, respectfully
Good on you
How about you take a stand right now and explain why the SDA church allows a false prophet Ellen G White to have authority EQUAL to scripture over the church?
Explain why Ellen G White took the writings of others DENIED doing it and claimed it all came directly from God...
Go ahead I'll wait....
@@nicetry620 She herslef never claimed to be a prophet merely a messenger and also said about her writings to be a ‘Lesser light’ not to be placed above the authority of Scripture however the authority of her writings are well substantiated and supported by Scripture, its common in her writings to read that we should never take for truth any claim without a ‘Thus sayeth the Lord’ for example, none of this is hidden, read her writings and make up your own mind, friend

Now let's see what fundamental belief #18 has to say about the IDENTIFYING MARK of the REMNANT CHURCH 🤔....
FUNDAMENTAL BELIEF #18
One of the gifts of the Holy Spirit is prophecy. This gift is an IDENTIFYING MARK of the REMNANT CHURCH and was MANIFESTED in the ministry of ELLEN G. WHITE.
(SO.... here we see that as a member of the REMNANT CHURCH you MUST vow to ACCEPT the IDENTIFYING MARK of the REMNANT CHURCH which was MANIFESTED in ELLEN G WHITES writings)
Now let's see what the spirit of prophecy herself has to to say about her writings....
ELLEN G WHITE:
We "MUST" follow the directions given through the spirit of prophecy [Mrs. White's writings]. ... God has spoken to us through His Word. He has spoken to us through the Testimonies to the church and through the books that have helped to make plain our present duty and the position that we should now occupy." (Testimonies, Vol. 8, p. 298)
(Now explain how this is not placing her writings EQUAL to scripture)???
@@guitardu
That's what I thought 😏🤫🤐
I've found the Sabbath argument easy to deal with and haven't faced major grief from my SDA friend concerning it. However, the Investigative Judgment is a whole different ball game - it's one big spaghetti ball of confusion that I cannot get my head around. I have noticed that it tends towards a works gospel in my friend; though that temporarily dissipates in him when pressed with Ephesians 2:8-9 and others.
His obsession with the Investigative Judgment, I am sure, is stealing any joy that is evident when we stay off that subject. He comes alive when we speak of God's goodness through the Gospel. I feel that if he left the SDA and sat only under sound teaching, the double mindedness would go over time. Yet he's keen for me to get to know some of the folk he fellowships with.
I refuse to do so.

Adventist fits the definition of a Religious sect.
eg.
Definition: A religious sect is a group of people who adhere to a particular religious belief or practice that is different from the mainstream religion.
Origin: Religious sects often form as a response to changes or innovations in the mainstream religion or as a result of a disagreement with the prevailing beliefs and practices.
Size and structure: The size of a religious sect can range from a small group of individuals to a large community. They often have a hierarchical structure with a leader or a group of leaders at the top.
Beliefs and Practices: Religious sects have unique beliefs and practices that distinguish them from the mainstream religion. These beliefs may be based on a specific interpretation of scriptures or a unique vision or revelation.
Relations with the mainstream religion: Relations between a religious sect and the mainstream religion can range from hostility to cooperation. In some cases, a sect may eventually merge with the mainstream religion.
Community life: Sects often have strong community ties and a shared sense of purpose. They may have their own places of worship, schools, and social activities.
Controversy: Religious sects can be controversial and subject to criticism, particularly when their beliefs and practices conflict with the norms and values of society.
Freedom of religion: Despite controversies and criticism, religious sects are protected by the freedom of religion enshrined in many constitutions and international treaties.
Yep, thats adventism alright.
“Cult” is the wrong word to use… “Damnable Heresies” is what the Bible calls it. Lies is something we fight against within our own lives, families, churches and nations. Anything that is against the truth of Jesus Christ is “cultic” in nature.
It's a theological cult, not a Jim Jones cult.
Too bad Walter Martin didn't have a chapter on Catholicism in his book.
In my study of cults, it has become clear that each cult has its own language. The cult knows how to speak our language; the Biblical Christian needs to learn to speak theirs if we are to penetrate the language barrier and truly communicate the Gospel.
Guess there's no limit to whom these guys will come after and attack...
Oh great the SDAs found this video and are repeating everything these ladies just stated and saying she's lying
I am defending what I believe. I am a Seventh Day Adventist
The one thing I wonder about though is that the angel of the lord, which does appear to be Jesus in the Old Testament, also says the lord rebuke you. But in those places it doesn’t say “he didn’t dare utter.”
Is Jesus an angel?
False information y'all are sharing
Thank you to those involved putting together this interview and presentation. I found myself briefly in an Adventist group a number of years ago and experienced the condemnation that comes from a legal message devoid of the clear gospel message of the person and work of Jesus Christ and the great atoning work at Calvary. Thanks again.
They say "we hold the Sabbath because we love God." Sounds good, but they don't talk about the guilt you will surely feel "speaking from a first hand experience" when you do something like cook food or put gas in your car! Our savior died for our sins. Not to scramble about worrying about such trifling things.

GEN 2:1-3 REST 7TH DAY (SABBATH MEANS)
EXODUS 20:8-11 REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY
JOHN 14:15
1 JOHN 2:3-6
AND THERE ARE MANY VERSES THAT POINT TO SATURDAY THE 7TH DAY AS GOD'S SABBATH TO SAY CHURCH WAS ON SUNDAY FROM THE BEGINNING IS A LIE I DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU GOT YOUR BIBLE FROM BECAUSE THE HOLY SPIRIT IS NOT IN YOU PEOPLE REFUSES TO ACCEPT GOD'S DAY AND WANT TO DO SUNDAY BECAUSE OF TRADITION FEELINGS AND OPINIONS PROVE IN THE WORD OF GOD SUNDAY IS THE DAY OF WORSHIP IS 1ST DAY SUNDAY YOU DID NOT DO YOU YOUR RESEARCH AND I DON'T CARE HOW MANY TIMES YOU READ IT YOU ARE REFUSING TO ACCEPT GOD'S WORD AS IT IS WRITTEN
Most Biblically literate Christians understand that Saturday is Sabbath. EGW really hated Catholics so why do you believe what they say about their church changing the day? The early Christians met on the 1st day of the week & that was LONG before there WAS a Catholic Church! You must do research & read early letters/accounts such as Justin Martyr & others--they clearly talk about the early church meeting on the 8th day to honor the Resurrection.
So not true about Ellen G. White. She was a Messager from God
She took the writings of others DENIED doing it and claimed it all came directly from God...
She also placed her writings EQUAL to scripture,"smarty-pants"
Im SDA still learning. I dont claim to know everything. We are save by God's grace. (Ephesians Chp. 2 Verse 8) By the price Jesus Christ paid on the Cross for our Sins. He is the only way. Believe in Jesus and his Sacrafice on the Cross. You must repent and be born again. (John Chp.3: Verse 3, Matthew Chp.3 Verse 3)
We are not saved by following the commandments. We follow the commandments because we Love Jesus and we want him to Live in us. We surrender everything ro him so that he may do his will through us. Ellen's writing are not above the Bible. Her writings do give you a deep understanding of God's word and she references directly from the Bible. I read her book Steps to Christ and it gave me a deep understanding of the price Jesus paid for us. The pain not just physical he endured. The separation he felt from the Father. The consequences of Sin and why the blood of Jesus was the only way to atone for our Sins and us to be Saved. I haven't read all her books I'm reading the Great Controversy between Christ and Satan and its full of lost history that will soon repeat itself and of prophecy that speaks of our times that is already taking place. Could Ellen's writings have error it's possible. But remember Jesus disciples spend years with him and still couldn't understand the reason he came. They walked with the the Son of God and still errored still expected Jesus to reign on Earth. We are Human we all make mistakes but we can learn from eachother in Love. Not by slandering others but by testing everything by God's word and learning together. I hope this was helpful 🙏. God bless you.
@@motadeo1017
The question is, do you believe Ellen G White was incapable of being wrong?
Was she perfect in her writings?
E.G White was not a messenger from God. She spoke out of both sides of her mouth, just like all serpents who have forked tongues. And a woman is not to teach a man, so your whole church listening to a woman is directly contrary to what the bible teaches on authority in the church.
He admitted tand Retracted that SDA is NOT a CULT
system of religious veneration and devotion directed toward a particular figure or object.
"the cult of St. Olaf"
All churches are cults based on definition.
Walter Martin was Jesuit working for Rome! Walter Martin had his motives - and his motives were not good for taking the SDA church off his list of cults.
Based on what do you say that?
@@justrosy5 It is in his book that he wrote. Seventh Day Adventist is not a cult. We believe in the Bible we do not nor ever will take Ellen G. White's books over the Bible. Collen and Nikki twisted so many things around. Now they believe in the Sunday Reformation. Where in the Bible, does it say Sunday is the first day of the week? I grew up Methodist. Even my Sunday school teacher asked which is the Sabbath? Yet we all went to church on Sunday.

I was a sda, growing up in it, I always had a problem with eg white as alot of her writing were used to punsh and shame, she is like the teacher in Harry Potter no one like. The people in it very greatly and most mean well, hope that they can find there way out and to better thing.

People from all walks of life can have nuggets of wisdom, also I never said anything about hate just that I had a problem with how her writing were used and in some cases still are when she has been wrong multiple times on health and other topics. If we are will to call other religions cults we should also look at our own with the same critical lens as we do at others, especially those that claim Is prophetic gifts.
The writings of E G White were not written to punish and shame! The problems is - some SDA kids have parents who are ignorant and don't know how to live their lives appropriately. Fyi, E G White was very well liked and respected in her days. Many attended her funerals (I believe there were three) when she passed away. So, your Harry Potter comment was very inappropriate. If you have issues if the White or the SDA church - you might want to take a good look in the mirror and so a self evaluation. And you might want to forgive you mother, father or both!

While I disagree with a chunk of their theology, I don't think they are a cult. I know SDAs and they don't behave like JWs or even mormons. And I know some who amicably moved onto other denominations.
Behaviour isn't a sign of whether someone is in a Christian cult, doctrine is. They teach a false gospel, false Christ, and that obedience to the Sabbath will save you in the end times. They are a cult, just not as obvious and out there as the others you mentioned.
@@ByGraceThroughFaith_ well then that would make calvinists a cult.
@@anthonym.7653 false. Calvinists believe in the historic orthodox view of the Trinity, that you are truly saved by grace through faith in Christ alone (one of the main solas of the reformation), and that obedience to the law is not required for salvation. They simply differ from other Christians on the manner in which God saves people, not the actual gospel itself. It's a difference of soteriology, not theology proper or the gospel itself.
@@ByGraceThroughFaith_ Why is it that Christian’s as far as 300 years after Christ’s death revered the sabbath? What word of Gods said he change the day.? I’ll tell you, he did not.
@@jenniferstechow6278 If you do a nonbiased study of early church history of the first 300 years, you will see that the church as a whole was not keeping the 7th day Sabbath. It's true that Jewish converts continued to keep the 7th day Sabbath early on, but the majority of the church were meeting at home churches on Sunday. They did not consider it a Sabbath, although there are quotes from church fathers that seem to indicate they believe the Lords day replaced the Jewish Sabbath, not as a Sabbath in and of itself but as a memorial to the resurrection and a day to gather and break bread.
Go back and look at my previous comments, I did not claim the day for the Sabbath was changed anywhere. My issue is honestly not whether Seventh Day Adventists want to keep the 7th day Sabbath, my issue is their teaching that it's the seal of God in Revelation and that you must keep it in order to be sealed and saved in the end times. That doctrine is found nowhere in scripture, and places our end times salvation on whether we keep the law, an idea explicitly condemned in the Bible.
John8:50NIV"0I am not seeking glory for myself; but there is one who seeks it, and he is the judge. " The Christ who seeks his own glory is a false Christ and can save no one.
John7:18NIV"Whoever speaks on their own does so to gain personal glory, but he who seeks the glory of the one who sent him is a man of truth; there is nothing false about him." In case you missed it the first time. The Christ who promotes the worship of himself rather than his God and Father is unrighteous and thus can save no one from sin.

As a former Independent Church of Christ/Christian Church I heard her say that even though some SDA are more liberal in their view they still hold on to the original teachings. I see that in the Independent COC/CC. there are many who are leaning more to a more liberal view and it is so subtle that it almost seems as though they are doctrinally sound but they are not. Justification at Baptism is still what unifies them.
Walter Martin was deceived by Calvinism, so his discernment was already wounded.
