The Catholic Infiltration of Adventists
If you are an Adventist,
it's likely that this information might frustrate you. If it does then the
reader should pause for a moment and consider Paul's inspired counsel, he said
to "prove all things; hold fast that which is good" (I Th. 5:21). Ellen
White explains that we should be candid with our investigations, ". .Our
brethren should be willing to investigate in a candid way every point of
controversy. . .We are all under obligation to God to know what He send us. He
has given directions by which we may test every doctrine . .to the law and to
the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is
no light in them. If the light presented meets this test, we are not to refuse
to accept it just because it does not agree with our ideas." Councils to
Writers and Editors, p. 43,44. The signs of the times are here, pointing us to
the second coming of Christ. The Seventh-day
Adventist Church
in 1844 was called out to prepare a people of this time. But instead of
progressing to the high calling of Jesus Christ, something strange happened,
they started to digress back to Babylon.
In Hebrews 10:38, Paul writing to the Jews said, "Now the just shall live
by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in
him." The saints then and the saints today have every right to feel
displeased with any church that has been called by God, to be washed and
purified, but instead desire to wallow in the mire of Babylon. Peter put it this way: "For if
after they have escaped the pollution's of the world through the knowledge of
the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and
overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. For it had been
better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they
have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. But it is
happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own
vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.(I Pe.
2:20-22)."
