Adventists Giving Tithes & Offerings to Catholics

Some months ago a friend of mine who writes a monthly newsletter called Escape for Thy Life, sent me a copy. On the front page of this newsletter was a clipping from the Trinidad Guardian May 3rd 1996, page. The title of the first page was, Adventist helping Catholics. If you have ever read the Great Controversy by Ellen G. White, as an Adventist this may spark some interest and might even prompt you to speak out against this unholy alliance. This is exactly what Nyron Madina did as he explained the events that preceded the publishing of the article. "What a shocking picture which appeared on the front of the Trinidad Guardian on May 3rd 1996. There is a picture of the Roman Catholic Archbishop Anthony Pantin hugging a Seventh-day Adventist woman, Suduyn Elder, of a local Community Services Director for the South Caribbean conference of the Seventh-day Adventist, while on the left a Roman Catholic nun, Sr. Marina Serette looks on with a smile, and on the right Pastor Clie Dottin looks on smiling approvingly. What was the occasion? The South Caribbean of Seventh-Day Adventists donated TT$20.000.00 as a contribution to the rebuilding of the burnt out dormitories of the St. Dominic's Home."Escape For Thy Life, vol.1, no.1, pp.6-7. Tithes and offering are sacred to God and to His service. So why was it given to the most diabolical institution which will soon give birth to the antichrist. In Revelation 18:3 God revealed to us how rich the Catholic Church really is . . ."nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of For all the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies." In spite of God's revelation, we see the Adventist adding to Rome's billions. Nyron Madina also stated, "in the same newspaper the Roman Catholic Church still justifies Sunday Holiness which Adventism by its very nature is against. Ibid. 6. In this present time the General Conference deserves to hear the same rebuke from Hanani the prophet, to Asa "Herein thou hast done foolishly" (II Ch. 16:9).

Adventists and Catholics Unite in Health Care

Adventist are so marinated with the spirit of Catholicism that they decided to unite in health care. This took place in Colorado, where the Porter care Adventist Health system, and the Roman Catholic Sister of Charity Health service sought too, aligned themselves together. The nominal Adventist poses no threat to the Papal system. This is why the Pope feels compelled to add the Adventist to his list of "Martyrology." Adventists will be allied with its supposed opposition in the most ecumenical "Martyrology" unprecedented in history. The Extra Newsweek, issue Winter, 1997 p.16 quotes, "In his most dramatic millennial gesture he has asked all the worlds bishops to compile a list of Christians who in this century were persecuted for their faith. These names which could amount to a million from almost every continent, will be published in a "Martyrology." What makes this list different from those of the early church is this; it will include Christians of every stripe-Protestants and Orthodox, Anglicans and Adventists, not just Catholics." I wonder if the Pope is trying to warn the minority of faithful Protestants, as to say if you don't join the rest in my bandwagon of ecumenism, as the faithful "martyrs" of the past, I will unite you at death in my "Matyrology."

Flirting with Rome

The Adventists flirting with Rome, can be traced back to the inception in 1965, and still continues up to this present day. In 1977, Dr. B.B. Beach, the secretary of the Northern Europe West African Division of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church, had a chief part in cross-breeding Adventism with Catholicism. This is equal to spiritual fornication! This is the same path that ancient Israel played: "Thou hast moreover multiplied thy fornication in the land of Canaan unto Chaldea; and yet thou wast not satisfied herewith." Ezekiel 16:29.

B B. Beach calls the Pope Holy Father

Roman Catholics have many titles for the Pope. Here are just some of them, "Vicar of Christ," "Holy Father," "Your Holiness," etc. All these names titles are condemned by the Bible! The Pope himself confirms this, in his recent book, Crossing the Threshold of Hope, p.6 "Have no fear when people call me the "Vicar of Christ," when they say to me, "Holy Father," or "Your Holiness," or use titles similar to these, which seem even inimical to the Gospel. Christ himself declared: call no one on earth your father; you have but one Father in heaven. Do not be called 'Master', you have but one master, the Messiah" (Mt 23:9-10). These expressions, nevertheless, have evolved out of a long tradition, becoming part of common usage. One must not be afraid of these words either." You may think this is horrendous but it keeps getting worse. Consider what C. Mervyn Maxwell, professor of church history at Andrews University in Berrien Springs Michigan has to say about Rome, "the Roman Catholic church was virtually the Christian church in Western Europe for about a thousand years. Because of this early universality, both Protestants and Catholics may regard it as the embodiment of 'our' Christian heritage, for better or for worse." God Cares, vol. 1, p. 127. I do not know what's your opinion is on this, but my Christian heritage did not derive from Rome, this is blasphemy! His apostate father, S. Maxwell, also thinks very highly of Rome according to the monthly newsletter, Watchman's What of the Night,"In a sermon given at the University Church in Loma Linda, Maxwell, father of C. Mervyn. . .suggested "We must rethink our approach to our Roman Catholic friends." Having cited the Popes opening speech of the Council as a picture of the church loving humanity, the separated brethren and people who don't belong and all people of all faiths and religions, "he asked, "How can we reject an outstretched hand and be Christians?" He suggested that the sermons preached in the past revealing the atrocities of Rome and its blasphemous doctrines must now be scrapped (Present Truth, 1968, No.2.) Ibid. 2-3. I ask, why would B B. Beach, S. Maxwell and his son say such things? Mrs. White said, "it is the rejection of the Bible truth which makes men approach to infidelity. It is a backsliding church that lessons the distance between itself and the Papacy." Signs of the Times, Feb. 19th 1894. The god of this world is Satan! The Papacy claims to be the ruler of the world. Therefore, trying to unite with the Papacy is like uniting with the devil, that is why the bible says, "Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God" (Ja. 4:4).
