7th DAY ADVENTISTS
Seventh
Day Adventism never
"got out of the blocks" - fumbling for the ignition to get started.
THE
REASON? Ellen White's teachings and doctrines
have proved a millstone around their necks. SDA's desperately want to
be seen
as a credible alternative to mainstream Christianity just like the
Mormons and
the Christadelphians.
The
outsider's question is: -
"How can
this be possible with the writings
and philosophy of Ellen White having white-anted & thoroughly
saturated
Having been
proved to be in error in many of her
beliefs, how can the average SDA trust any of her writings, especially
when
God's Word says one thing and the SDA official creed maintains another?
Is their
label of "The Religious
Chameleons" justified simply because they have a "flexible"
approach to Bible doctrine? Can they be accused of making the word of
God of
none effect through their tradition?
********************************************************************
We'll
look at the beliefs of the SDA's against
God
authority - the King
James Version:
1. Saturday
worship?
2. Was
Christ Michael the
archangel?
3. Was the
plan of salvation made before the fall of man?
4.Does God
require sin offerings today?
5. Did
Christ's blood cancel sin?
6.Was
Christ's
atonement completed at the cross?
7.Can we
attain a sinless state in this life?
8. Were sins
blotted out at Calvary?
9.Can
Christians say they're saved?
10.
Soul Sleep
11. Ellen
White
12. Did
Jesus have a sinful nature?
13. Satan -
scapegoat for sins?
MUST I KEEP
SABBATH TO BE A CHRISTIAN?
SDA'S
SAY: YES!
Christians
must worship on Saturday otherwise
you're not a Christian.
THE BIBLE
SAYS: NO!
"Speak... the
children of Israel... my sabbaths
ye shall keep... it is a sign between me and you.
" Exodus 31:13
Also Exodus 31:16
"...I gave
them my sabbaths, to be a
sign between me and them. " Ezekiel 20:12
COMMENT: How plain
is plain? Which Bible are the SDA's reading?
Observing the Sabbath was given by God to the Jews only!
Many
documents show that the early Christians, for
nearly 300 hundred years, never worshipped on Saturday - only
on
Sundays!
There is
only one race called the Jews and `it
ain't us', no matter how much the SDA's wish it be.
WAS CHRIST
MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL?
SDA's
SAY: YES!
THE BIBLE
SAYS: NO!
"Michael, one
of the chief princes,
came to help me..." Dan 10:13
COMMENT: The
Bible describes Michael as an angel, a
created being. Jesus was begotten not created.
WAS THE
PLAN OF SALVATION MADE BEFORE THE FALL OF MAN?
SDA's
SAY: NO!
THE BIBLE
SAYS: YES!
"In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began." Titus 1: 2
"...he hath
chosen us in him before the
foundation of the world..."
Ephesians
1:4
COMMENT:
Someone's right & someone's wrong.
DOES GOD
REQUIRE SIN AND TRESPASS OFFERINGS TODAY?
SDA's SAY:
YES! The best you
can do is to bring a
trespass offering to the altar of the Lord and he will accept and
pardon you.
THE BIBLE
SAYS: NO!
"But this man (Christ), after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever .." Hebrews 10:12
"...there is
no more offering for sin." Hebrews
10:18
COMMENT:
Unfortunately for the SDA's, they have swallowed hook, line and
sinker, Roman Catholic teaching.
The SDA never knows whether they'll get to heaven or not.
DID
CHRIST'S BLOOD CANCEL SIN?
SDA's SAY:
NO!
"The
blood of Christ was not to
cancel sin ... but will stand in the sanctuary till the final
atonement."
THE BIBLE
SAYS: YES!
"In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins..." Ephesians 1:7
COMMENT:
Who will you believe - SDA's or God?
WAS CHRIST'S
ATONEMENT COMPLETED AT THE CROSS?
SDA's SAY:
NO!
"Now while
our great high priest is making
final atonement for us, we should seek to become perfect in Christ."
THE BIBLE
SAYS: YES!
"For
if, when we were enemies, we
were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being
reconciled, we shall be saved by his life .... through our Lord
Jesus
Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement." Romans
5:10-11
COMMENT:
How clear must it be before people will believe the Bible and not
themselves.
DID JESUS
DIE TO BRING US SALVATION?
SDA's SAY:
NO!
Christ
gave his life that man should have
another trial. He didn't die on the cross to abolish the law of God but
to
secure for man a second probation.
THE BIBLE
SAYS: YES!
"...while
we were yet sinners, Christ
died for us.... being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved
from wrath...through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now
received
the atonement." Romans 5:8,9,11.
COMMENT:
Once again, the SDA's display sound Roman
Catholic theology - Jesus opened up the door at the top of the
stairs
and now it's up to us to get up those stairs. In spite of their
hatred
for the Catholic church, the SDA's are working their way to hell also -
salvation by faith + works.
CAN WE
ATTAIN A SINLESS STATE IN THIS LIFE?
SDA's
SAY: YES!
Everyone
who surrenders to God is given the privilege of living without sin.
Those only who through faith in Christ obey all of God's commandments will
reach the condition of sinlessness in which Adam lived. In order to
let
Jesus into our hearts, we must stop sinning.
Christ died
to make it possible for you to cease to
sin.
THE BIBLE
SAYS: NO!
"If we say that we have no sin we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us." 1John1:8
COMMENT: A
religious instructor to an SDA church
said he hadn't sinned for nearly two years This proves that he
committed his
first sin - lying!
WERE SINS
BLOTTED OUT AT CALVARY?
SDA's SAY: NO!
The work of investigative judgement and the blotting out of sin is to be accomplished before the second advent of our Lord. At the close of 1844, Jesus began the work of investigation and the blotting out of sins.
THE BIBLE
SAYS:YES!
"And all
things are of God who
hath reconciled us to himself ...God was in Christ reconciling
the world
unto himself..." 2 Cor 5:18-19
COMMENT: How
embarrassing! Jesus
is not laboriously slaving away in the inner sanctuary cleansing out
our sins
with a big mop and bucket, God in Christ was too weak to do it at the
cross.
CAN CHRISTIANS SAY THEY ARE SAVED?
SDA's SAY:
NO!
"Those who accept the Saviour however sincere their conversion, should never be taught to say or feel that they are saved."
THE BIBLE
SAYS: YES!
"In whom we have redemption, through his blood, the forgiveness of sins..." Ephesians 1:7
"But God ...for his great love wherewith he loved us even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, by grace ye are saved. Ephesians 2:4-5
"...that ye
may know ye have eternal
life..."1John 5:13
COMMENT:
SDA's won't want you to know you're saved.
Why? They're afraid you'll start to obey the Bible and not their
man-made
rules.
SOUL
SLEEP
SDA'S SAY: that on death believers go into a soul sleep in the grave till Christ comes back. They deny that believers go to heaven on death.
THE BIBLE
SAYS:
"We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body (death), and to be present with the Lord (in heaven). " 2 Cor 5:8
"...having a
desire to depart, and to be with
Christ ... Philippians
1:21-23
"...shall go
away into everlasting
punishment: but
the
righteous into life eternal."
Matthew 25:46
Comment:
This error is held by the JW's and the
Christadelphians. Man has a distinct soul - conscious after death and
hell is a
place of everlasting suffering.
SDA's want
eternal life but not eternal punishment.
The Greek word (aions) used for the words `eternal' & `everlasting'
in Matt
25:46 means exactly the same thing ie without end & stretching out
to
infinity! Hell will be populated by people who never believed it
existed.
ELLEN
WHITE
SDA's
SAY:
She had more than 2000 visions to have come from the Lord. "It is God and not an erring mortal who has spoken" she said.
THE BIBLE
SAYS:
"But I
suffer not a woman to teach, nor to
usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence."
1Timothy 2:12
Comment: Bastards
may not know who their fathers are but
they know their mother. The head of a chaotic society is generally a
mother.
The SDA's (a group of people in chaos) don't know the heavenly Father
so they'll
turn to their `heavenly mother' - Ellen White.
(Another
group of "orphans" are the Roman
Catholics - frantically turning to Mary for redemption.)
CHRIST
SDA'S SAY: Christ took on Himself a sinful nature.
THE BIBLE SAYS:
"...yet without sin." Hebrews 4:15
"... who knew no sin.." 2 Corinthians 5:21
Comment: SDA's
have a Jesus - but not the Jesus of
the Bible. "Making the word of God of none effect through your
tradition.." Mark 7:13
SATAN
THE SCAPEGOAT FOR OUR SINS?
SDA'S SAY:
Yes!
Eventually
our sins will be
placed upon Satan who must bear the final penalty.
THE BIBLE
SAYS: NO!
"...the
blood of Jesus
Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin."
1 John 1:7
Comment: If the
sins of all men are
laid on Satan, he has a vital role to play. Surely this nullifies the
all-sufficiency of the finished work of Christ on the cross.
NOTE:
SDA's have more
un-Scriptural doctrines about Prophecy and the Mark of the Beast.
**********************************************
Today, the sleeve just continues to unravel at a greater rate for 7th Day Adventism. Should they throw out the Ellen White baggage and start again - admitting that their doctrines are un-Scriptural or should they bury their heads even deeper in the sand hoping the whole nightmare will go away? Who'll have the courage within the SDA's to stand up and admit that the whole thing is just a fake. Who'll grab the bull by the horns and shout, "The king doesn't have any clothes on!"
SDA's are
sipping an "Ellen
with Old Testament" cocktail. (They need a caffeine free diet and
Sanitarium products for stress) To admit the whole "SDA kit and
kaboodle" is corrupt from top to bottom will take much courage, (the
chief
sin of Satan is pride) but millions could be saved that otherwise will
scream
forever
in the Lake
of Fire.
HELL IS
POPULATED BY PEOPLE WHO
NEVER BELIEVED IT EXISTED. "MAKING
THE WORD OF GOD OF NONE EFFECT
THROUGH YOUR TRADITION..." Mark 7:13.
