The Seventh-day Adventist Church has been blessed with a wealth of Scriptural truth. Sadly, this has led many to assume the truths they possess exempt them from the call to flee Babylon. However, the command to leave Babylon is to all, including Seventh-day Adventists. They, too, have drunk of the wine of Babylon.
Following is a short list of some of the errors espoused by Seventh-day Adventists:
- SDAs worship on Saturday of the Gregorian calendar. This calendar was adapted from the pagan Julian calendar by a Jesuit astronomer named Christopher Clavius. As the calendar of Babylon, it can never establish the true day of worship because it uses a completely different method of time calculation than that established by Yahuwah at Creation.
- SDAs violate New Moons although they are a class of holy day ordained by Yahuwah.
- SDAs teach that the Sabbath commences at sundown, Friday evening, and reaches until sundown, Saturday evening in clear contradiction of Scripture.
- SDAs observe the pagan holidays. The many beloved “traditions” of Christmas practiced the world over are identical to the pagan customs of ancient times. Easter is celebrated with cantatas and Easter Sunday sunrise services. SDA publications are increasingly embracing the observance of the Roman Catholic practice of Lent in direct defiance of Scripture, which expressly forbids this ancient pagan rite.
- SDAs reject the observance of Yahuwah’s true holidays. SDAs who do observe Yahuwah’s holy days are frequently ostracized.
- By the use of neurolinguistic programming, Ericksonian hypnosis in church services and supporting the spiritual exercises of Jesuit founder, Ignatious Loyola, via “Spiritual Formation,” the SDA church is reaching its hand across the abyss to clasp hands with Spiritism.
- Roman Catholic mysticism is widely promoted in the SDA Church via participation in the emergent church movement. While some SDAs are protesting this apostasy, the Church itself officially supports it.
- SDAs teach that Yahushua’s feet will not touch the earth upon his return. Scripture, however, teaches that his feet will touch down upon the Mount of Olives at his return. (Zech. 14:4)
- SDAs uphold the erroneous view that the righteous will be taken to Heaven immediately after Yahushua’s return, where they will remain for 1,000 years before returning to earth. Scripture, however, does not support this teaching. Rather, Scripture teaches that the saints will reign with Yahushua on earth during the millennium. The future abode of the righteous is the earth made new.
- SDAs adhere to the “investigative judgment” teaching which denies Yahushua’s completed work on behalf of the repentant sinner (Heb. 10:10). The “investigative judgment” doctrine denies the saints the peace of knowing with certainty that they will inherit eternal life through the imputed righteousness of Yahuwah’s only begotten son. This is a gross contradiction of the gospel message (1 John 5:13). Sadly, many SDAs have gone to their graves uncertain of whether or not they would pass the “investigative judgment.” Salvation is received, not achieved.
- SDAs teach that, following Yahushua’s return, the earth will be left desolate with no living humans for the duration of the millennium. Scripture, though, teaches that upon his return, Yahushua with the saints, will rule from New Jerusalem and that there will also be unsaved mortals alive populating the earth. At the expiration of this 1,000 year period (the millennium), sin and sinners will be destroyed, never to return.
- SDAs teach that Yahushua existed prior to his birth in Bethlehem as Michael, an archangel. This plainly contradicts Scripture, which teaches that Yahushua was conceived in Mary’s virgin womb through the power of the holy spirit. Yahushua, while born of a virgin, is a human being - not a diety.
- SDAs are staunchly Trinitarian (since 1980), a belief originating in ancient paganism, not Scripture. Prior to 1980, SDAs were Binitarian, which was still a denial of Yahuwah’s oneness and the Shema (Deut. 6:4; Mark 12:29)
John the Revelator prophetically described the final generation as Laodiean “Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked.” (Revelation 3:17) A person is Laodicean when he believes himself to have great truth and takes pride in what he has rejecting all else as unnecessary. Yahuwah is now inviting Seventh-day Adventists to follow the Lamb into all truth unmingled with human error and assumption.
