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
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

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
Adventist Ministers
Guided by Jesuits
Derek Morris is an " We [the authors] are both members of the society of Jesus and have, therefore, been strongly influenced by the spirituality of Loyola and his Spiritual Exercises." Practice of Spiritual Direction, pp. 11. Ignatius of Loyola mind control methods was proven to be most fatal on its subjects because it had a lasting effect. Edmond Paris, a specialist on the Jesuits, in his book, The Secret History of the Jesuits, quotes Mr. Boehmer as saying, "Ignatius understood more clearly than any other leader of men who preceded him that the best way to raise a man to a certain ideal is to become master of his imagination." He goes on further and explains, "we imbue into him spiritual forces more lasting than all the best principles and doctrines; these forces can come up again to the surface, sometimes after years of not even mentioning them, and become so imperative that the will finds itself unable to oppose any obstacle, and has to follow their irresistible impulse (21)." Could you believe this? Derek Morris trains young ministers to enter into the ministry and he seek his spiritual advice from Jesuits and Ignatius of Loyola was the founder. What caused a man of this caliber to seek advice from one of the most ruthless organizations? Weakness, backsliding and knowing not what they believe: " Many are living in spiritual weakness and backsliding. They know not what they believe. Let us read and study the twelfth chapter of Daniel. It is a warning that we shall all need to understand before the time of the end. There are ministers claiming to believe the truth which are not sanctified through the truth." E.G. White, Manuscript Releases, vol. 15. p.228.
One Wicked Step at a
Time
The first wicked step
led to the Adventist, Evangelical connection in 1956-57 and that lead to the
Adventist, Catholic compromise. Their involvement in the world Council of
Churches lessons their idea of the prophetic role of the Papacy. This caused
them to reject certain former teaching about the Papacy. This led to this
astonishing statement by the Adventist Church, "although it is true that
here was a period in the life of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church when the
denomination took a distinctly anti-Roman Catholic viewpoint, and the term
"hierarchy" was used in a pejorative sense to refer to the papal form
of church governance, that attitude on the churches' part was nothing more than
a manifestation of widespread anti-popery among conservative Protestant
denominations in the early part of the last, and which has now been cosigned to
the historical trash heap so far as the Seventh-Day Adventist Church is
concerned." Excerpts legal Documents, p. 41. Who with a honest heart could
pass by such a statement without speaking against it? This is a God given
command, "Son of man, prophest against the shepherds of
The Evangelical
Connection
There is a group which
sprang out of the Philadelphians, which is a new movement, calling themselves
Adventist but are not, but belong to the synagogue of Satan. Revelation 3:9
says, "Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they
are Jews, and are not, but do lie." This omega of apostasy hatched in
1956-57, when the elders of the
The False Teaching of
the Sanctuary and The Nature of Christ The Sanctuary from Questions on Doctrine, p. 381 "Jesus our surety entered the holy places, and appeared in the presence of God for us. But it was not with the hope of obtaining something for us at that time, or at some future time. No! He had already obtained it for us on the cross." Also in the same book, this is how far they drifted in their teachings on the human nature of Christ, "although born in the flesh, He was nevertheless God, and was exempt from the inherited passions and pollution's that corrupts the natural descendents of Adam." Ibid. 383. It their recent book, Seventh-Day Adventists Believe, p. 315. col. 2. You would find a similar repetition, "the atonement, or reconciliation, was completed on the cross as foreshadowed by the sacrifices, and the penitent believer can trust in this finished work of our Lord." In the same book, they continue, "thus Christ's' humanity was not the Adamic humanity, that is, the humanity of Adam before the fall; nor fallen humanity, that is, in every respect the humanity of Adam after the fall. It was not the Adamic, because it had the innocent infirmities of the fallen. It was not the fallen, because it had never descended into moral impurity. It was, therefore, most literally our humanity, but without sin." Ibid. 47,49 cols.1,2.
The
Correct Teaching of the Sanctuary and the Nature of Christ
The book which I am
about to quote, was written four years before Question and Doctrine, by a
prominent Adventist. Nichols correctly speaking on the "atonement"
states as follow, "we believe that Christ's work of atonement was begun
rather than completed on Rejecting the atonement is like rejecting Christ death on the cross, "The intercession of Christ in man's behalf in the sanctuary above is as essential to the plan of salvation as was His death upon the cross. By His death He began that work which after His resurrection He ascended to complete in heaven." Ellen G. White, Great Controversy p.489. Romans 8:3 describes the nature of Christ this way: "For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh." Another biblical example is in Philippians 2:7 "But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men." In the proceeding quotes, Mrs. White goes on to explain her revelation from God on the Nature of Christ. Her understanding which according to "the law and the testimony" is set fort as follow: "Jesus accepted humanity when the race had been weakened by four thousand years of sin. Like every child of Adam He accepted the results of the working of the great law of heredity." Desire of Ages, p.49. "Christ did in reality unite the offending nature of man with his own sinless nature." Review & Herald. July 17, 1900.
The correct teaching of
the Sanctuary and the Nature of Christ has been concisely and clearly stated.
This should raise some questions in ones mind as too why the false teachings
have crept its' way into the Church. When His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber. Isaiah 56:10. The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof? Jeremiah 5:31. One of the Anti-Christ Doctrines Defined The biblical definition of one of the anti-Christ doctrines of the last days, is to deny that Jesus came in the flesh: "For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist." II John 1:7. These leaders strike at the heart of our theology, the blow was directed at the "Nature of Christ" and the impact was fatal to the Sanctuary; for if Christ did not take our fallen human nature, Jesus could not be the faithful and merciful high priest that the bible claim him to be. Wherefore in all things it behooved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people. Hebrews 2:17. Therefore, preaching a false doctrine about the human nature of Christ, automatically dampens the sanctuary message. Ellen White was shown that our faith would have nothing to stand on: "In a representation which passed before me, I saw a certain work being done by medical missionary workers. Our ministering brethren were looking on, watching what was being done, but they did not seem to understand. The foundation of our faith, which was established by so much prayer, such earnest searching of the Scriptures, was being taken down, pillar by pillar. Our faith was to have nothing to rest upon--the sanctuary was gone, the atonement was gone. . . ." The Upward Look, p.152.
Adventists Sponsor
Billy Graham
There has been a great
amount of coziness between the Adventist and Protestants. Billy Graham, the
pope of Protestantism who points excatholics who came to the altar after the
altar call, he advised them to go back to the Catholic Church. This fact is
ducumented by David W. Cloud in his book Flirting with "According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, the archdiocese sent forty trained counselors for the Crusade. After each crusade session, Catholics coming forward were linked up with Catholic counselors and referred to the Catholic Church (Calvary Contender, Jul. 1, 1992). Ibid. 43. This documentation what I am about to show you is mind boggling, that the Adventist help sponsor a spiritual gangster as Billy Graham on his ecumenical tour to Hungary. Ponder on the information as it reads:
"Graham's visit was
sponsored jointly by the Baptist Union and an alliance that included
Seventh-Day Adventist, Pentecostal, and Methodist. The meeting were said to be
the most ecumenical ones ever held in To put a cloak of righteousness over their apostasy, they seek to find refuge in quoting Ellen White as saying: "Our ministers should seek to come near to the ministers of other denominations. Pray for and with these men, for whom Christ is interceding. A solemn responsibility is theirs. As Christ's messengers we should manifest a deep, earnest interest in these shepherds of the flock." Testimonies for the Church, vol. 6 p.78. I could understand when Ellen White said, "come near to the ministers of other denominations," but she never said to join or sponsor them in their apostasy. Ellen White gives an inch but the leaders have stretched it to a yard!
Satan's Plan is to
Change the Leadership
In the Old Testament,
one of Satan's plans for "Men in positions of responsibility are in danger of changing leaders. This I know, for it has been plainly revealed to me." Series B. no. 2, p. 48. "But I am now speaking of actual mistakes and errors that those who really love God and the truth sometimes commit. There is manifested on the part of men in responsible positions an unwillingness to confess where they have been in the wrong; and their neglect is working disaster, not only to themselves, but to the churches. . . you will be left to make mistakes of a similar character, you will continue to lack wisdom, and will call sin righteousness and righteousness sin. The multitude of deceptions that will prevail in these last days will encircle you, and you will change leaders, and not know that you have done so." Review & Herald, vol. 2 p. 448-49. Dec.16, 1890.
Where Do We Draw the
Line?
I can show apostasy
after apostasy, but the question remains, where do we draw the line when
separation becomes a reality? Consider the abundance of light that the
"Of those who boast
of their light, and yet fail to walk in it, Christ says, "But I say unto
you, It shall be more tolerable for Let us consider Luke 3:8, when John perceived the hypocrisy of the Jewish leaders he said, "begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham." We can learn from instance that God is not dependent of any denomination to finish His work. But if He starts revealing His will to a select group of people, and they fail just like the Jews, He would gather out the faithful ministers and choose others. The evidence for this claim is in the Bible and the Spirit of Prophecy: "If doubts and unbelief are cherished, the faithful ministers will be removed from the people who think they know so much." Testimonies to Ministers, p. 410. This is contrary to what most leaders teach, they teach that the bad are shaken out, Ellen White taught the complete opposite. Consider what is about to be presented before you and weigh the evidence for yourselves
"The Lord Jesus
will always have a chosen people to serve Him. When the Jewish people rejected
Christ, the Prince of life, He took from them the
The Wheat and the
Tares Most Adventists in whom I had discussed some of these issues with, shuffle around Ellen White writing like a deck of cards, and present this statement as the ace of their argument to stay in the church. They quote Ellen White as saying, "we are not to say what constitutes the wheat, and what is the tares. The time of the harvest will fully determine the character of the two classes specified under the figure of the tares and the wheat. The work of separation is given to the Angels of God; and not committed to the hands of any man." Testimonies to Ministers, p.47. Prsently, Adventist believe that the wheat and the tares would be separated at the time National Sunday Law. Read and see how Ellen White explains herself and correlate this with what you have been taught: "I then saw the third angel. Said my accompanying angel, "Fearful is his work. Awful is his mission. He is the angel that is to select the wheat from the tares, and seal, or bind, the wheat for the heavenly garner." Early Writings, p.118. "I was shown that the third angel, proclaiming the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus, represents the people who receive this message and raise the voice of warning to the world." Testimonies for the Church, vol.1, p.77. "The [third] angel represented in prophecy as delivering this message, symbolizes a class of faithful men, who, obedient to the promptings of God's Spirit and the teachings of his word, proclaim this warning to the inhabitants of earth. This message was not to be committed to the religious leaders of the people." The Spirit of Prophecy, vol.4, 199. "The work of redemption involves consequences of which it is difficult for man to have any conception. "Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him." 1 Cor. 2:9. As the sinner, drawn by the power of Christ, approaches the uplifted cross, and prostrates himself before it, there is a new creation. A new heart is given him. He becomes a new creature in Christ Jesus. Holiness finds that it has nothing more to require. God Himself is "the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus." Rom. 3:26. And "whom He justified, them He also glorified." Rom. 8:30. Great as is the shame and degradation through sin, even greater will be the honor and exaltation through redeeming love. To human beings striving for conformity to the divine image there is imparted an outlay of heaven's treasure, an excellency of power, that will place them higher than even the angels who have never fallen." Christ's Object Lessons, p.162-3. It is worthy at this point to allow a friend of mine, who writes a monthly newsletter Omega Countdown, to express his understanding on the wheat and the tares: "It is the work of sepatating the wheat from the tares that is not committed to the hands of any man, not the separating of the saints from open sinners and apostates, and there is a very distinct difference! Tares are insincere Christians who hide their insincerity quite well. Judas was a tare. Open sinning apostates like Nimri is quite a different story. Was Phinesa judging Nimri a tare when he ran him through with a swork? No! He was separating an open sinner from the camp by death! Can you gainsay this truth?" Ron Beaulieu, Omega Countdown Ministries, February 1993, p.25. The separation of the tares and the binding of the wheat, has been taking place since the time of Ellen White: "I see perplexities on every side. As character develops man and woman will take their position, for varied circumstances brought to bear upon them will cause them to reveal the spirit which prompts them to action. Every one will reveal the character of the bundle with which he is binding himself. The wheat is being bound up for the heavenly garner. The true people of God are now bound up for the heavenly garner. The true people of God are now pulling apart, and the tares are being bound in bundles ready to burn. Decided positions will be taken. Satan will move upon minds that have been indulged, upon men who have always had their own way, and anything presented to them in counsel or reproof to change their objectionable traits of character is considered faultfinding, binding them, restraining them, that they cannot have liberty to act themselves. The Lord in great mercy has sent messages of warning to them, but they would not listen to reproof. Like the enemy who rebelled in heaven, they do not like to hear, do not correct the wrong they have done but become accusers, declaring themselves misused and unappreciated. E.G. White, 1888 Materials, p.995.
The messengers, which
God sends to deliver the messages of warning, is none other than the church
triumphant. Which God uses to aid the church in every generation, in its
necessity, but most of the time they don't take heed: "The members of the
church triumphant,--the church in heaven--will be permitted to draw near to the
members of the church militant, to aid them in their necessity." E.G.
White, The Southern Watchmen, Sep. 8, 1903. There goes the heresy of
Keavin Hayden, who believes that God will have a remnat within the
The Unpardonable Sin A perfect example of the unpardonable sin is in Hebrew 6:4-6, "For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost. And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame." Another biblical explanation can be found in James 4:17, "Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin."
What makes it
unpardonable? As stated above, it is because the person or persons know what is
right but persist in their wrong doings. Another classic example is what took
place in 1844: "I was shown in a vision, and I still believe, there was a
shut door in 1844. All who saw the light of the first and second Angel's
messages and rejected that light were left in the proclamation of the message
form heaven, and who afterward renounced their faith and pronounced their
experience a delusion, there by rejected the spirit of God and it no longer
pleaded with them." E.G. White, The Early Years, vol.1 p.260. Ron
Beaulieu said it right when he expressed this statement: "refusing to
receive and obey any of the three angel's messages, one rejects the light from
heaven and falls from the favor of God: SHUT DOOR "As the churches
refused to receive the first angel's message, they rejected the light from
heaven and fell from the favor of God. They trusted to their own strength, and
by opposing the first message placed themselves where they could not see the
light of the second angel's message. But the beloved of God, who were
oppressed, accepted the message, " Unlike man, Jesus never changes: "Jesus is the same yesterday, and today, and for ever." Hebrews 13:8. My question to you is, if the Adventist church violates any one of the three angel's messages, what would God do to them? Matthew 22:7 has the answer: "But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city."
This frightening ordeal would
have its counterpart in Ezekiel 9, with the general destruction of the wicked.
The destroying angel, would begin at the santuary, [the professing SDA church]
when there is a separation of sin and sinners. This is what the Bible and
Spirit of Prophecy teach! What I am about to show should forever settle the
separation issue. The Directory Christian Councils, states that the
Who Created the World
Coucil of Churches? It is important to know who created and founded the World Council of Churches, and where it is leading those who unite in their confederacy. A very well known author, Texe Marrs, who dedicated his life to exposing the evils that exist in world politics and religion, has a lot to say about the World Council of Churches:
"They [the
Rockefellers] founded the blasphemous Parliament of the World's Religions, held
in The Rockefellers are a group of international Bankers, who finance every evil you could ever concieve. Throughout the centuries they worked to further their goal, which is to create a New World Order. Gary H. Kah added another important piece of the puzzlel the Masonic connection: "The false ecumenical-interfaith unity being promoted today by the World Council of Churches. An organization that is strongly influenced by Freemasonry, is nothing new. It has been used for centuries to further the cause of world government." En Route To Global Occupation, p.109. How much would it take before you will be convinced? For all those who like to be overwhelmed with evidence before they decide that the church has apostasized, I will proceed even further, but remember if you're convicted, Christ said that the knowledge which you have received will be your judge, in the last day: "He that rejected me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. John 12:47. We must come to the realization that the elders of the church have made the church and many of its members become corrupt. The church in its present state is not a place to improve your spiritual life because it has become spiritually bankrupt!
"We must as a
people arouse and cleanse the camp of
The Regular Lines
have Proven to be Unfaithful! The Regular lines (organization) have become full of irregular practices: "So often the same old difficulties arise and are presented in regard to disturbing the 'regular lines.' But God will work in some way to make His people understand that the regular lines have become full of irregular practices. . . God alone can make men understand that working on regular lines has led to irregular practices. God alone makes men's minds as they should be. The time has come when we should hear less in favor of the regular lines. If we can get away from the regular lines into something which, though irregular working which has led away from bible principle." E.G. White, Manuscript Release, #1450. p. 3,4 (1904). John the Baptist, Jesus, the apostle Paul and many others have been using these irregular lines, which have proven to be more successful than the regular lines. Nobody likes to be hated! That's why it is such a hard saying when duty requires it! "This is a hard saying who can here it? John 6:60.
Corporate Repentance The leaders also deny the existence of corporate repentance. After reading this tract and seeing the evils that exist in the Church, it is easy for one to say, I am not commiting such sins, so therefore I should be excused from the condemnation that hangs over the heads of the culprits. For those of you that agree with the above, consider for a moment with sincerity and honesty, what Mr. White said:
"The plain,
straight testimony must live in the church, or the curse of God will rest upon
His people as surely as it did upon ancient The Jesuit thinker in Adventism says, "sin with resultant guilt, stems from the exercise of free moral choice and rests upon personal accountability before God" . . . "In a matter of sin, God does not deal with groups of people of with committees. He does not hold a committee as such responsible for the actions that the committee takes. Even though a committee, or a church through its delegated representatives, may have made a wrong decision, in taking notice of their corporate decision God still hods the representative individuals who constituted the committee resposible for the votes they cast." Roy Adams, The Nature of Christ, p.103. Ouoting Arnold Wallendampf, Statement, as published in his book: What Every Adventist Should Know About 1888, p. 53.
The book, The Nature of
Christ, was endorsed by leaders in high places. Here are the names, George R.
Knight, Professor of Church History of Andrews University, William H. Shea,
Associate Director of Biblical Researe Institute, Raoul Dederen, SDA
Theological Seminary of Andrews University, and Robert Folkenberg, President of
General Conference. Malachi Martin, the author of the book titled, The Key
of This Blood is a former Jesuit and professor at the "Let's face it: Even atheists know the Church teaches that sin is, first and only, personnal. It involves the choice of individual will in a man of women who freely and knowingly violates God's revealed Law. In strict theological language, as anybody will tell you, there is no such thing as collective sin; the sin of a group. Much less, than, can a structure whether formed of stones and wook, or a bureaucratic arrangements be said to commit sin, to be sinful, to be in a state of sin." In conclusion I'd like to say, the information you have just read is writen in Love. At no time do I revel in these above facts, but on the contrary I am saddened to see the state of the church. I will take this opportunity to quote from Ellen White and the Bible concerning these things. "The Lord commanded one of his ancient servants, "Pray not thou for this people, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them; neither make intercession to me; for I will not hear thee." The prophet thus describes the sins which had called forth this fearful denunciation: "The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so; and what will ye do in the end thereof?" "From the least of them even unto the greatest of them, every one is given to covetousness; and from the prophet even unto the priest, every one dealeth falsely. They have healed also the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace, when there is no peace." The apostles declare that this state of things will find its counterpart in the last days. Many have a form of godliness, but in their daily life deny the power thereof. They have ceased to be convicted of their sins or alarmed at their state. They say in their hearts, "The church is flourishing. Peace and spiritual prosperity are within her borders." The words of the prophet may well apply to these self-deceivers, "They have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations. I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them." Review & Herald, vol. 1, 11-07-82. Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep His commandments: For this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgement, with every secret thing whether it be good or whether it be evil. Ecclesiastes 12:13,14. This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
