Weekly Survey: a new survey every Gregorian Monday.

The teaching of the three Cappadocian theologians "made it possible for the Council of Constantinople (381) to affirm the divinity of the Holy Spirit, which up to that point had nowhere been clearly stated, not even in Scripture." Where do you stand?

The original Church's unity of belief was lost as new beliefs, many borrowed or adapted from pagan religions, replaced the teachings of Yahushua and the apostles. Where do you stand?

The historical record shows that, just as Yahushua and the New Testament writers foretold, various heretical ideas and teachers rose from within the early Church and infiltrated it from without. Where do you stand?

Gratitude in all circumstances is a testament to our trust in Yahuwah’s actions, which assure us of His best intentions for us. This trust provides a sense of security. Where do you stand?

Even though officially admitting that the [Sabbath] day is commanded in the Bible, the Catholic Church thinks it has the authority to change it. What a blasphemy to believe that they can alter Yahuwah’s eternal law. Where do you stand?

Not only was Christ raised to a position of authority, but those who are in Christ have also been raised with him in the Spirit. They share in his authority. Where do you stand?

The reason Satan still seems to be so active is that the church has failed to realize the full extent of what Christ has achieved. As the church successfully proclaims the gospel of the cross, Satan and his angels lose their power over people's lives. Where do you stand?

The Middle East has been a powder keg, just waiting for a match for generations, and today is no different. It’s a very threatening, dangerous situation, just waiting for a catalyst to tip the balance of power into an all-out war. Where do you stand?

Until a prophecy is fulfilled, we can only base our understanding on the light available. Sometimes, we must tweak or fine-tune our understanding as we gain more light. That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t study prophecy. We should! Because how else will we know it’s been fulfilled if we’re not studying prophecy? Where do you stand?

Prophecy is for revealing the future so we can be prepared. And being prepared for what’s coming is indeed part of it. But that’s not the main purpose of prophecy. The primary reason Yahuwah gives us prophecy is so that when it comes to pass, we may believe. Where do you stand?

Ellen White was human. She was fallible. But we think she sincerely believed she had visions from Yah. But you can be sincere and still be wrong; we believe that’s the case with Ellen White. She felt Father Yahuwah led her, but she did not due to the fatal errors she taught that contradicted the Scriptures. Where do you stand?

The papal Gregorian calendar, like the pagan Julian calendar before it, has a continuous weekly cycle. The Biblical calendar, like all ancient calendars, did not. The weekly cycle restarted every New Moon Day. Even though we can reference it in Scripture, there’s no such thing as a New Moon Day in our modern calendars.  Where do you stand?

We must never be so wedded to an idea or a person that we put what they say above Scripture. The Bible alone is our guide. It’s our safety net. Where do you stand?

Ellen White proved she was a false prophet when she wrote very glowingly about John Calvin, who ordered the death of the Spanish Michael Servatus because he denied the divinity of Yahushua and rejected the Trinity. Can Father Yahuwah choose Mrs. White to be His messenger while she praises the killer of one of His Saints? No way. Where do you stand?

Adventists are cautious of admitting any error in Ellen White’s writings. Because if she were a true prophet who received messages via visions and visits from angels, her message should be error-free. But it’s not. And if they ever admit that, then their whole theology crumbles because it is based on her writings and not the Bible. Where do you stand?

Can Yahuwah choose Ellen White as His messenger, who was so obsessed with the supposed divinity of Christ that she claims our salvation hinges upon accepting his divinity? The Bible doesn’t say that anywhere! But Ellen White does. This is why we reject her as His messenger. Where do you stand?

In her most famous book, The Great Controversy, Ellen White warns against what she called a “dangerous error.” What that “dangerous error” is? According to her, it’s rejecting Christ’s divinity. This is why we regard her as a false prophet. Where do you stand?

One of the most significant areas of contradiction between the writings of Ellen White and those of the Bible is the nature of Yahushua. Ellen White promoted the dual nature of Yahuwah, both human and divine, in outright contradiction with the Scriptures. Where do you stand?

Adventists are sincere in saying they place Ellen White below the Bible. In practice, they put her above Scripture all the time. They aren’t aware of it because they assume everything she wrote is in harmony with Scripture. But any time they accept something she wrote that contradicts the Bible as truth, they put her above Scripture. Where do you stand?
