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.
