‘He who believes, [cling to, adhere to, rely on, trust completely in] the Son of God has the witness in himself, [he KNOWS whether he is saved or not,] he who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed the TESTIMONY that God has given of His Son, (the Scriptures,) [not the testimony of Ellen White or any other human ‘prophet!’]
THIS IS THE TESTIMONY: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son, [not in ANY church — especially not in the Ellen White doctrines of the Seventh Day Adventist Church!] He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. These things I, [John,] have written to you who believe in the Name of the Son of God, that you may KNOW that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe, [by the grace of God and not through legalistic works,] in the Name of the Son of God.’ - 1 Jn. 5:10-13.
If only people would read the Bible for themselves — and read it in context! ALL the Scriptures, which refer to ‘a remnant,’ speak of physical Old Israel and refer to prophetic, Old Testament quotes such as Rom. 9:27-28, which Paul quoted from Isa. 10:22-23. This means, in God’s infinite mercy He has ‘preserved a ‘remnant’ of physical Israelites. Had He not done so the entire apostate nation would have been wiped out.’ - [Spirit Filled Bible.]
Paul taught on the remnant of Israelites in Rom. 11:5-7, ‘[Although most of Old Israel fell into idolatry,] at this present time, [during the New dispensation,] there is a remnant [of physical Israelites] according to the election of grace. AND IF BY GRACE, THEN IT IS NO LONGER OF WORKS, [or adherences to the law,] OTHERWISE GRACE IS NO LONGER GRACE. But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work. “What then? [Physical Old] Israel has not obtained what it seeks [by works of the law,] but the elect [or those who have personally chosen Jesus as their Savior,] have obtained it, and the rest were blinded.’ The Spirit Filled Bible explains, “’Israel’ refers to the majority of those who are Jews by physical descent, including their recognized leadership. Having failed to obtain the right standing with God they had sought by their own efforts, [God gave them over to their own desires and] they have been hardened. Persistent and obstinate unbelief brought God’s judgment upon them. But the unbelief of Israel [or their rejection of Jesus as the Savior,] has opened the door of opportunity for all the believers from the Gentile nations, [who would personally accept Jesus,] to turn to Christ…” |

However, true disciples of Christ do not have any ceremonies, rituals, or real Scriptural feasts, which can bar them from approaching even truly sinful, unclean, or unsaved people from other nations, religions, denominations, cultures and churches, if the Holy Spirit opens a door to speak to them. Jesus commanded His disciples to “go into all the world” to preach His Gospel to all nations, (Mt. 28:19-20.)” I am not saying we should hang out in bars and brothels for recreation, but Jesus did it ALL for His true disciples when He fulfilled the entire law in our place. We are entirely free in Christ to go anywhere, eat and drink anything, etcetera, as long as we do not fellowship and flirt with sin, idolatry, witchcraft, and deliberately unrepentant, sinful people, (who are real spiritual pigs,) who know the truth of Jesus’ real Gospel but willfully reject either Jesus or the truth of His Word! The last mentioned pertain to members of Christianity, who secretly or openly live as infidels. ►The greatest danger to the disciples of Christ does not come from ‘outside’ in the form of neglected ceremonies and church sacraments; (which are worthless,) but from personal disobedience to Jesus’ Moral Law, and the Truth of His New Testament commandments. Likewise, the unbelieving world does not endanger Jesus’ disciples as much as the perils that lurk inside churches and in the minds of unrepentant believers, who confess the God of the Bible while serving the doctrines of devils, and/or clinging unrepentantly to immorality of sorts. ► That is why Paul wrote in 1 Cor. 5:1-13, “… I wrote you not to keep company with sexually immoral people [and other unrepentant transgressors of God’s Moral Law.] Yet I did not mean with the sexually immoral people of this world or with the covetous, extortioners, [think about pastors extorting uncontextual tithes and offerings from even poor people,] or idolaters, since then you would need to go out of the world. But now I have written to you not to keep company with anyone named a brother [or sister] who is sexually immoral, covetous, an idolater, reviler, drunkard, or an extortioner — [unrepentant violators of the Moral Law,] not even to eat with such a person. For what have I to do with judging the unbelieving world? [I have to preach the Gospel to them, not judge them!] Do you not judge those who are inside? [Christians and others who profess God and Scripture!] But those who are outside God judges. Therefore, put away from yourselves the evil person.” [Read the book, ‘Dealing with Abuse and Abusers God’s Way’ to understand Jesus’ commandments concerning Godly confrontation of unrepentant sinners according to Jesus’ Moral Law of Love, etcetera.]
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 Vatican’s Roman Catholic Church and the all-male Protestant Reformers that followed suit. As nearly all other cults, the twisted doctrines of Seventh-day Adventism also began in the twisted, debased minds of men. It was founded by men such as the wayward Baptist preacher William Miller, Joseph Bates, J.N. 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, deceptive teachings flooded her mind and her role as one of the leaders in the Adventist Church did indeed further the dreadful spiritual deterioration of all Seventh Day Adventist Church members.
THE BIBLICAL FUNCTION OF OLD AND NEW TESTAMENT PROPHETS 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 has already revealed His entire will and Word through the contextual truth of the REAL Bible — not denominational interpretations that suit individual church doctrines such as the Clear Word bible. During the Old Testament era, God disclosed His will (or Word) through human prophets. During the New Testament dispensation, however, Jesus revealed Himself as the incarnated, Living Will and Word of God, and brought His New Testament Gospel of grace as the ONLY means of salvation to all His sincere, believing disciples worldwide, (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 Covenants, the New Testament prophet no longer ‘reveals’ the WILL of God, but merely edifies the believing body of Christ with the gift of supernatural prophecy, (read the truth in 1 Cor. 14:3, 24-25.) So, a real New Testament prophet cannot and will not prophecy additions to, or bring so-called ‘new revelations’ of the Word, or pretend to be a “mediator” between man and God. Jesus Christ is the ONLY New Testament Covenant’s Mediator between God and all humanity, (1 Tim. 2:5; Heb. 1:1-2.) Paul explained 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 [Old Testament] mystery… By which you may understand the mystery of Christ, which in other ages, [during the Old dispensation,] was not made known… as it has now been [completely and utterly] revealed by the Spirit…” During Old Testament times, Jesus Christ the Son of God was a mystery – not a secret! Now, in New Testament times, God fully revealed the fact that all sincere believers, who desire God’s real truth, can become ‘partakers of His promise’ through the New Testament Covenant/Gospel of Christ. Jesus Christ Himself is the ‘Logos’ or Written Word of God. Only Jesus is The Way, The Truth, and The Life - and God the Father has revealed Himself through and in His Son in the entirety of New Testament Scripture. Thus, the Man Jesus became ‘the visible image of the invisible God.’ “In Him dwells [present tense] all the fullness of the Godhead, [of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit] bodily; and you are complete in Him, Who is Head of all principality and power, (Col. 2:9-10. No one and nothing can complete us spiritually, emotionally and physically except God Himself: the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus testified to this truth when He said, “He who has My [New Testament MORAL] commandments, (as commanded in Jn. 13:34 and Mt. 22:37-40,) and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest, [disclose, reveal, or make known] Myself [Personally] to him,” (Ps. 119:160; Col. 1:15; Jn. 14:21; Jn. 13:34.) Therefore, no one can add or subtract anything from the Word of God, Who is Christ Jesus Himself, for He Alone Is the complete and full, New Testament Truth and Living Covenant of God, (Jn. 14:6; 16:13,14.) It’s all there, fully explained on paper in the entire contextual truth of the whole Bible: God Himself and everything we need to know, and how to find, worship, and obey Him according to His Word. There is nothing more. How DARE anyone place the words of a human ‘prophet’ next to, or above the Word of God, Jesus Christ Himself? Such sinful presumptions are nothing less than idolatry and witchcraft! Jesus The Word is the complete revelation of God; we will never need anyone else, (Jn. 1:1-3.) Thus, God does not and will not add anything to the full context of Scriptural truth. He will never give a ‘third testament,’ a ‘new gospel,’ ‘new scripture,’ ‘new authoritative teaching,’ or ‘extra-biblical revelations’ to His believers, because He has already given us everything and Everyone we will ever need. He has already given us the fullness of His love, blessing, mercy and grace in Christ. He has already given us His Only Son, Mediator, Prophet, Blessor, Teacher, the Way, Light, Life and Resurrection, Jesus Christ, as described in the fullness of the whole New Testament and as prophesied in the Old Testament, (Deut. 4:2; 12:32; Rev. 22:18-19; Gal. 1:9.) Rev. 19:10, the much-abused verse that Adventists use, actually reads as follows, ‘[All sincere believers] have [present tense] the testimony of Jesus… For the testimony of Jesus [Himself and no one else,] is the spirit of prophecy.’ This means that The Living Word which Jesus spoke ‘IS’ Jesus, Who was already revealed by the Holy Spirit, the Omniscient, Omnipresent ‘Spirit of Prophecy!’ Consequently, only the Testimony or Word of the Lord Jesus Christ, as prophesied by the Holy Spirit during Old Testament times, was already FULLY revealed in and through the New Testament Jesus. That is why ONLY the entire context of Scripture itself can be God’s Real Truth, (Isa. chapters 53, 61; Jn. 1:1, Ps. 119:160; Jn. 1:1; Mt. 4:4; 2 Tim. 3:16-17.)
SDA PLACES ‘THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY’ ABOVE THE AUTHORITY OF GOD’S WORD The most obvious sign of a dangerous cult or a cult in the making, is when a teacher, prophet, denomination, or church draws the attention away from the contextual truth of the Real Bible, (which is the “the entirety of truth” Ps. 119:160;) to focus on a particular teaching from the Bible — i.e. prophecy, tongues, the Sabbath, tithing, signs and miracles, so-called ‘apostles’ such as in the Old and Related Apostolic Churches, one of God’s Old Testament ‘Names’ (supposedly ‘Jehovah’ or Jeshua,) the ‘lost tribes of Israel’ — or even ‘Jesus Only,’ (Oneness Pentecostalism, which confuses The Godhead of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,) etcetera. All false teachers and cult leaders place themselves above the authority of the full, contextual truth of the Real Bible. Thus, they actually place themselves above, and in the place Jesus Himself; diverting attention from the Truth of God’s Word to their own “absolute” human ‘truth,’ alleged “superior” ‘revelation,’ and ‘authority.’ All these evil men and women also have the audacity to write their own ‘bibles.’ True prophets and teachers will always teach and prophesy in the context of God’s entire, Scriptural truth; bringing the Scriptures into New Testament/Covenant perspective. Real Biblical knowledge and authentic (supernatural) Holy Spirit prophecy, (which is one of the GIFTS of the Holy Spirit,) will never deviate from the full context of Scriptural truth. Yet, false prophets and teachers are increasingly invited and tolerated in churches, while God forbade believers in Christ to entertain, believe, and follow such deceivers, (Books of 1 & 2 John.) Instead of allowing prophets to be allegedly ‘trained in prophetic ministry,’ permitting these so-called prophets to ‘make mistakes during training,’ God commanded under the Old Testament covenant that false prophets must be stoned to death to purge His people from their destructive ways! “You will not spare him or conceal him, you will not consent to him or listen to him and you will stone him… because he sought to entice you away from the Lord your God, Who brought you out of the land of… bondage!” [Read Deut. 13 to see how God hates deception, thus dealing strictly with deceivers! Under the spiritual New Testament Covenant, physical stoning can be equated to exposing and rejecting — which is a commandment of God, Eph. 5:11; 2 Jn. v. 9-10.] Nevertheless, in complete defiance of God’s commandments in both the Old and New Testaments, Ellen White tried to excuse and ‘rectify’ the so-called ‘mistake’ of William Miller, (a predecessor of this church,) who falsely prophesied that Christ would return in the year 1844, (hence the name Adventist.) Ellen White wrote, “Those who followed in the light of the prophetic word, [not the entirety of Biblical truth as Jesus commanded,] saw that, instead of coming to earth at the termination of the 2,300 days in 1844 as Prophet William Miller had so dogmatically and widely proclaimed, Christ then entered into the most holy place of the heavenly (sanctuary) to perform the closing work of atonement preparatory to His coming. “ How dreadfully deceived this woman was, adding blasphemy to deception and eternal punishment to deliberate disobedience! Rebelling against a very important precept of the Old Testament Law, which commanded that false prophets [such as William Miller and Ellen White must die, [or in New Testament terms, be exposed and put out of the assembly,] White proclaimed that Miller was just ‘a little off, and not really false.’ Do this woman’s followers realize that, by trying to earn their salvation through the SDA’s twisted view of the Ten Commandments and especially through ‘Sabbath keeping,’ Adventists actually place themselves back under the merciless judgment of the entire Old Testament Law? Choosing their own twisted, legalistic works as some type of ‘salvation,’ (Gal. 2:20-21; 3:10-14,) Adventists (as all other church legalists) will be eternally (and not “temporarily”) judged by the full brunt of the Old Testament Law without the mercy of Christ! [Do not believe me, read Deut. 13 & 18:20-22 and especially Gal. 2:21 for yourself!] However, instead of repenting, White stumbled further on her destructive way. She wrote, “In 1844, it was not to earth, but to the ‘heavenly sanctuary’ He came to ‘complete the work of atonement,’ and [then] to carry on ‘investigative judgment.’”
INVESTIGATIVE JUDGMENT Seventh Day Adventists supposedly believe that they “are saved by grace in Christ.” Nevertheless, they are actually “saved” by their own perfect adherence to their church doctrines, of which the ten commandments are central, and Saturday Sabbath Keeping is key. They believe that only PERFECT ‘holy righteous’ Adventists will be re-created for the ‘first resurrection’ at the return of Christ. The ‘unrighteous,’ not so holy Adventists, (such as those that eat meat,) will be re-created for the ‘second resurrection’ after a thousand years of peace one earth. So, no Adventist is saved solely through the full, completed work of Jesus in their place, as the whole New Testament Covenant in Christ states! ‘Investigative’ Judgment determines their church ‘salvation,’ as their ten-commandment sins after accepting membership of the SDA are still on the books,’ while salvation, and Jesus, the One and Only True Mediator between mankind and God, is nowhere to be found! However, true Scripture states, “...And the [SIN-]books were opened [for those who never truly accepted Jesus as their personal Lord and Savior, and never followed Him in obedience to His MORAL LAW OF LOVE.] And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life… and anyone not found written in [Jesus’] Book of Life [or heaven’s ‘population register,’] was cast into the [eternal] lake of fire,”] (Rev. 20:11-15 — read it for yourself.) Neither Sabbath-keeping nor ‘investigative judgment’ has anything to do with the truth of God’s Word! We must ask: ‘Investigative judgment’ – even after Jesus Christ supposedly came to ‘complete the atonement?’ [Which, in reality, was already completed at that moment when Jesus cried on the cross, “It is finished!’] Well, White had to fabricate this incredible distortion of Scriptural truth to “prepare Christ’s coming at a later date” in an attempt to rescue the false prophet William Miller from disgrace! Even worse, White, building lies upon lies, then actually alleged that “there is sin in heaven,” or in the Adventists’ heavenly sanctuary, that ‘temporal place,’ which no one really knows how and where it exists. Additionally, the ‘sanctuary’ itself has to become some kind of ‘mediator’ and ‘bear the sins of the believer for the last time.’ However, the ‘sanctuary’ itself still ‘needs cleansing,’ which supposedly ‘began’ in 1844. If only Adventists made the real Bible their Authoritative Source of Truth, and became “doers” of the Word as God commanded, they would not have believed a single word of all this blasphemy! God Himself clearly stated in Rev. 21:8; 22:15 that heaven is a completely holy place without any sin. He said, “The cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murders, sexually immoral… and all liars will have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone… And outside heaven [or the true ‘sanctuary’] are dogs, [spiritual lazy sleepers,] sorcerers… and whoever loves and practices a lie…” Sadly, the ‘Fundamental Beliefs of Seventh-day Adventists, No. 17,’ includes the following statement, “As the ‘Lord’s messenger,’ [Ellen G. White’s] writings are a continuing and authoritative source of truth which provide for the church comfort, guidance, instruction, and correction…”
THE REMNANT CHURCH ‘The Fundamental Beliefs of Seventh-day Adventists, No. 12,’ teach that ‘The Remnant’ declares the following, "The universal church is composed of all who truly believe in Christ, but in the last days, a time of widespread apostasy, a remnant [the SDA] has been called out to keep the [Old Testament] commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.” Truth is, Jesus Himself gave only One New Testament commandment in Jn. 13:34-35: Obey the Moral Law of Love! God’s Love through and in the Holy Spirit is the substance and fulfillment of the entire Old Testament Law or Covenant, which Jesus did in our place! - (Mt. 5:17) Yet, White rambled on, “This remnant announces the arrival of the judgment hour, proclaims salvation through Christ, and heralds the approach of His second advent [return.] This proclamation is symbolized by the three angels of Revelation 14; it coincides with the work of judgment in heaven [the so-called ‘atonement in the sanctuary,’] and results in a work of repentance and reform on earth. Every believer is called to have a personal part in this worldwide witness." [Another deception, as the entire New Testament rests on the fact that this whole unbelieving world is destined for the fire at Jesus’ once-off return, not revival: 2 Pt. 3:10-14.] No other ‘church’ can supposedly be ‘the remnant,’ as ‘only Adventists hold the saving ‘1844 investigative judgment-hour message’ of Ellen White. Nonetheless, Adventists actually believe that this incredibly false ‘revelation’ of Ellen White is their ‘unique contribution to Christianity,’ and ‘there will be salvation in no other place or church on earth.’ They declare that ‘every believer is called to be part of this remnant.’ Consequently, their passionate evangelism and ‘Revelation Seminars’ became their tools to turn people away from the Truth of the Real Bible, to herd them en-mass into ‘finally becoming part of the Remnant Church!’ In spite of White and other false teachers’ denial of Jesus own words concerning eternal punishment on the other side of the grave, Satan will never be content to bear his eternal punishment alone. That is why John wrote in Rev. 20:10,15, “The devil, who deceived them [through false prophets and teachers such as Ellen G. White,] was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet are. And they [and all their followers] will be tormented day and night forever and ever…. [As anyone not found written in the Real Book of Life in heaven through sincere and Biblical rebirth in Christ, Jn. 3:3-5,] was cast into the lake of fire...” There exists only one ‘remnant’ ‘church,’ if one can call it that, which is actually the body of Christ. As Jesus Himself commanded and explained, “Enter by the Narrow Gate, [which is Jesus Himself — read Jn. 14:6; 10:9-10; 27-30,] for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, [false church systems,] and there are many who go in by it. Because Narrow is the Gate and difficult is the Way that leads to life, [because it requires complete and personal surrender, and sincere and moral obedience to Christ Alone,] and there are few who find it,” (Mt. 7:13-14.)]
“THE ‘REMNANT CHURCH’ WILL HAVE THE SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST SPIRIT OF PROPHECY” ‘The Fundamental Beliefs of Seventh-day Adventists, No. 17,’ teaches, "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… as the Lord’s messenger…" [The true gift of prophecy is from the Holy Spirit and will never prophecy falsely, or teach false doctrine, as Jesus Christ does not only speak truth, He Himself IS The Truth!] According to SDA interpretation of Rev. 19:10, the ‘true church has’ to be guided by the ‘revelation-knowledge’ of its ‘prophets.’ Sadly, many mainstream churches such as the Pentecostal/Charismatic Movement have adopted their unscriptural explanation of ‘the spirit of prophecy,’ as well as their unbiblical view of New Testament prophets. Few denominations realize that this ghastly heirloom actually “identifies the Seventh Day Adventist Church.” Whenever one meets believers who focus on ‘the spirit of prophecy,’ and the ‘door of grace that has closed,’ one can know that they have been polluted by either Adventist or Jehovah Witness doctrine. The truth of Rev. 19:10 in the Real Bible reads as follows, ‘The testimony of Jesus [not false prophets such as Ellen White] IS the spirit of prophecy.’ As the writer of Heb. 1:1-2 proclaimed, “God, Who at various times and in various ways spoke IN TIME PAST [during the Old Testament covenant era] to the fathers by the prophets [as human ‘mediators,’ giving them His Law and directing them in His will,] has in these last days [the New Testament Covenant era spoken to us by HIS SON, Whom He has appointed Heir of all things, through Whom also He made the worlds. Who, being the brightness of His glory and the express Image of His Person, [Jesus Who is God Himself,] upholding all things by the Word of His power, when He had by Himself [fully] purged our sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high…” |
