WM Irvine wrote in ‘Heresies Exposed,’ “The servant of God is sometimes forced to the almost impossible task of analyzing error without cruelty to the hearts that hold it…  Dreadful errors are sometimes held by earnest and devout souls who would die for their belief...  This is a controversy over the Truth of God’s Word, not our condemnation of others; [as in sending souls to hell, as only God Himself can and will condemn willfully disobedient people to hell;) therefore we decline as strongly to condemn the person as to mask the error…” 

In agreement with Irvine and in obedience to the commandments of the New Testament, we tested the spirit behind the Seventh-day Adventist Church and found that the following teachings govern it’s hierarchy of clergy and their disciples, (1 Jn. 4:1-4; 1 Ths. 5:21; 2 Cor. 13:5; Jn. 5:30:) 

· Adventists teach that Satan is the so-called ‘scapegoat’ for humankind’s sin and the ‘co sin-bearer’ with Christ! 

· Prophetess Ellen White alleged that Jesus is the Archangel Gabriel! 

· They deny the complete atonement of the Lord Jesus Christ on the cross and teach, ‘Sin is pardoned, yet still on the books!’  (Please read Col. 2:13-15!) 

· They allege that the Man Jesus Christ had a sinful human nature!  (If that were true, He would also have been in need of a savior!) 

· Globally, Adventists work from the basis of the mainstream Christian church in their outreaches, evangelism, political acceptance, and church growth.  Yet they proclaim that Old Testament, 7^th day, (or Saturday) Sabbath-keeping is an absolute necessity for ‘salvation,’ as this is the ‘greater’ of the Ten Commandments, to which everyone supposedly must adhere, (Read Gal. 2:21!)

· They teach that Saturday Sabbath-keeping is the ‘seal of God.’  Allegedly, all ‘true believers’ must ‘earn’ this all-important ‘seal’ by Sabbath-keeping to ‘escape the seven last plagues in the Book of Revelation.’  [Please, just read and believe the truth of Eph. 1:13-14; Eph. 4:30; and Jn. 13:34-35!]  

· They teach that ‘all true believers’ must come out of the harlot churches of Christianity where they worship on Sunday, as ‘Sunday Sabbath-keeping is the mark of the beast,’ (Rev. 13:16-18 explains the real mark of the beast!)

· They believe that the ‘beast,’ the Church of Rome and her harlot daughters, ‘replaced’ the 7^th-day Sabbath with the 8^th day, (Sunday,) the idolatrous day of the sun god.  (We will see that Scripture states the contrary.) 

· They allege that ‘there is sin in heaven,’ (they materialize the heavenly sanctuary – which is an irreconcilable paradox!)  Thus, this ‘sanctuary’ will become some kind of ‘mediator’ that will ‘bear the sins of the believer for the last time.’  Nevertheless, this sanctuary ‘needs cleansing,’ which BEGAN in 1844, the year in which William Miller prophesied, Jesus would return to earth! 

· They teach that the Seventh-day Adventist church is the only ‘true church,’ ‘the remnant church of Bible prophecy.’  (This spirit of exclusivity rules ALL cults, and rejects even sincerely born again believers, who do not belong to their church!  The truth of Scripture states that Jesus Christ ‘has redeemed,’ [past tense, as He finished His atoning work on the cross,] His sincere body of believers ‘out of every tribe and tongue and nation…  - Rev. 5:9)  

· They study the Bible profusely from their point of view, yet a ‘spirit of prophecy’ guides them, not sound Biblical truth, (See Heb. 1:1!)

· They use only part of Jesus’ statement, “Not one jot or one tittle of the Law will pass…’ to support a dangerous religious system, based on legalistic works.  (Please take the time to read the true meaning of Jesus’ statement in context in Mt. 5:17-20 and in Gal. 2:20-21; 3:10-14.) 

· Adventists blend and confuse Old Testament ‘signs’ and ‘covenants,’ which pertained to the physical nation of Old Israel, with the New Testament Covenant, written in the blood of Jesus Christ, (Heb. 7-10; Gal. 3:10-14.) 

· They reject Jesus’ teaching of eternal punishment for sinners who reject Him as their personal Lord and Savior, (hell,) as well as spiritual salvation and bodily resurrection onto eternal life, (heaven,) for those who sincerely accepted His complete atonement in their place. (Jn. 1:12-13; Rev. 20:11-15; Lu. 16:22-31; 2 Pet. 3:7, 10.) 

· They believe in ‘soul-sleep’ or, like the Jehovah’s Witnesses call it, ‘annihilation of the soul at the moment of death,’ without personal accountability before the judgment-throne of God.  [Read the truth of Scripture in 2 Cor. 5:10; Rev. 20:11-15; Jam. 2:12-13; Mt. 7:21-24; 25:31-46.] 

· Just as the Catholic Church, Lutherism, Calvinism, etc., they teach the false doctrine of Baptismal Regeneration, (“Through baptism we are truly born again in Jesus.”)  Thus, it is their baptism-rite that ‘saves’ their diligent followers, not sincere belief in Jesus Christ.  (Read the truth in Rom. 3:23-24.)

 

ADVENTISTS HIDE DREADFUL DOCTRINES BEHIND THEIR EVANGELISM: 

Just as the Jehovah’s Witnesses, the Old (and New) Apostolic Churches, Twelve Apostles and others, Adventists present themselves as a serious, ‘Bible-based,’ ‘Christian Church,’ while in fact, they are hiding dreadful doctrines behind their misguided evangelism.  In the initial stages of their outreaches, they generally omit the incredibly false ‘Sabbath-seal’ core of their religion, while they tend to sidestep some of their incredibly false doctrines in the course of their many exhaustive ‘Bible’ studies, (such as ‘Jesus is Michael,’ and ‘Satan is the co sin-bearer with Christ.’) 

Still, they present their so-called ‘Revelation Seminars’ and other forms of evangelism as “the ultimate answer to this broken world!”  The SDA promotes their ‘Amazing Facts,’ ‘The Quiet Hour,’ ‘The Voice of Prophecy,’ ‘Faith for Today,’ ‘It Is Written,’ and other soul-devouring snares as ‘Revelation-Truth,’ while all their teachings are in fact dangerous spiritual deathtraps. 

 

AS MOST OTHER RELIGIONS AND CHRISTIAN DENOMINATIONS, THE SDA WAS FOUNDED BY FREEMASONS: 

Charles Russell, one of the founders of the Jehovah Witnesses cult, was a 33-degree freemason.  “He is buried underneath an Illuminati pyramid, inscribed with the words, ‘Watchtower Bible and Tract Society’ – irrefutable proof that Jehovah Witnesses are inseparably linked to satanic freemasonry...” - [Jehovah Witnesses Exposed!  By David J. Stewart.]  

As most of these ‘Christian’ denominations were founded by freemasons, it is no surprise that Jehovah Witnesses and Adventists share many incredibly false doctrines.  Next to a photograph on p. 174 of ‘Codex Magica,’ Texe Marrs explained, “Neal Wilson, president of the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, exchanges an indisputable Masonic handshake with Konstantin Kharchev…  The leadership of the Seventh-day Adventist Church is heavily masonic.  Many SDA officials have cooperated with pro-Communist, anti-Christian lobby groups such as American United… and the Jewish ADL.  These groups veil their anti-Christian positions with high-sounding goals like ‘liberty’ and ‘separation of church and state…” 

SDA William Milner, (1782-1849,) first founded the Mellerite Movement on many strange teachings.  He was a Royal Arch freemason of the highest degree, [WIKIPEDIA ONLINE ENCYCLOPEDIA.]   Nathaniel D. Faulkhead was an  SDA mason.  Derek Morris seeks spiritual advice from Jesuits (a masonic order of the Roman Catholic Church)  and the masonic teachings of IIgnatius of Loyola, the 'Black Pope.'   The SDA Pathfinders are divided into 'grades' or in masonic terms, 'degrees;' just as the freemasonry founded, taught and guided 'Boys Scouts;' their teachings and structure comprise much of the essence of Freemasonry.  Isaac Newton was a Cabbalist Jew/ Illuminist mason of the highest degree, yet the SDA reveres him as a prophet.  ‘Founder’ Ellen White supposedly hated freemasons, yet she continually used masonic language, i.e. "the vital force," "vital energies," [the word 'energy' is commonly used in  occult circles to refer to 'spirit;] “the holy watcher…”  etc.  Also, she commonly spoke of 'Mother Earth,' which everyone knows, is in fact the 'feminine’ spirit of freemasonry, the goddess of fertility Semiramus, also known as Isis, Sophia, ‘Mother Mary’ of Catholicism, etc.  As someone remarked, “Occultists do not use Bible terms, how can 'Christians' use masonic lingo?” 

Someone described James and Ellen White’s obelisk tombstone as "quite unsettling", as this insignia of sun worship refers directly to freemasonry!  Many SDA churches also display masonic obelisks on, and inside their church buildings. 

 

MISOGYNISTS BLAME ALL DECEPTION ON ‘NEUROTIC WOMEN LIKE ELLEN WHITE:’ 

David G. Steward wrote, “It is tragic that men and women, in their woeful stubbornness and pride, are willing to corrupt the Scriptures in order to justify their foolishness and sin.  Seventh-day Adventism wouldn't exist today if it were not for the foolishness of William Miller, who errantly predicted the Lord's return in 1843.  SDA was born out of a failed prophecy!!!  This fact alone proves incontrovertibly that SDA is a scam, a hoax, and a false religion rooted in man's sinful pride and wickedness…." 

Despite the malicious attempt of misogynists to blame every ill, and especially every spiritual deception on women, the sad truth is that, throughout human history, 99% of all religious misconceptions were conceived and executed by men.  Just think of the blasphemous teachings of the Roman Catholic Church and the so-called Protestant ‘Reformers’ that followed suit.  Luther was a Rosicrucian Freemason and John Calvin, (whose Jewish name was Chauvin,) was an instrument of the Masonic Cabbalist Sanhedrin.  Just as Russell, the father of the Jehovah’s Witnesses, Joseph Smith, the father of Mormonism, was also a freemason, etc., etc…  ALL of these religionists were very bad men who conceived and executed most evil agendas.  To say, therefore, that the Seventh-day Adventist deception is what it is because of ‘another neurotic woman,’ (in this case Ellen White,) is a blatant misogynist lie. 

As nearly all other cults, the twisted doctrines of Seventh-day Adventism also began in the mind of men.  It was founded in 1863 by men such as the wayward Baptist preacher William Miller, Joseph Bates, JN Andrews, and James White, (husband of Ellen White.) 

When ‘prophetess’ Ellen White failed to see Saturday Sabbath-keeping as the ‘atoning seal of God,’ ‘Elder’ Bates forced her into submission.  Once she had surrendered to the false authority of these oppressing male religionists, her role as one of the leaders in the Adventist Church did indeed further their spiritual deterioration.    

 

THE FUNCTION OF OLD AND NEW TESTAMENT PROPHETS AND THE REVEALED TRUTH OF GOD: 

The writer of Heb. 1:1-2 clearly stated, “God, Who at various times and in various ways spoke IN TIME PAST [during the Old Testament era,] by the prophets, has in these LAST DAYS, [during the New Testament era,] spoken to us by His Son…” 

This means, God had already revealed His entire will and Word through the contextual truth of the Bible.  During the Old Testament era, God disclosed His will (or Word) through human prophets.  During the NT dispensation, however, Jesus revealed Himself as the Incarnated, Living Will and Word of God, and brought His New Testament Gospel of grace to all His sincere, believing disciples, (1 Cor. 14:7-14; 14:24-25; Jn. 1:1.) 

Old Testament prophets, who declared the will of God to the physical nation of Old Israel, [past tense!] functioned in an entirely different capacity than New Testament prophets.  Separated by two distinctly different dispensations, the NT prophet no longer ‘reveals’ the will of God, but merely edifies the believing body of Christ with the gift of prophecy, (1 Cor. 14:3, 24-25.)  So, a real NT prophet cannot and will not prophecy additions to, or bring so-called ‘new revelations’ of the Word.  Paul wrote in Eph. 3:1-6, ‘[Did you hear] of the [New Testament] dispensation of the grace of God…  How that by revelation God made known… [or completely disclosed] the mystery…  By which you may understand the mystery of Christ, which in other ages, [during the OT dispensation,] was not made known… as it has now been [completely and utterly] revealed by the Spirit…’
