Frequently
Asked Questions A: I
was a member for 37 years, withdrawing my membership in December 1994. I served
as Elder, Sabbath School Teacher, and Chairman of the Building Committee,
Nominating Committee, Missionary Leader and many other offices. Q: Is it OK to attend a Sunday church? A: The Bible does not forbid attending a church on any day of the week. I would rather attend a Sunday church with just a few non-Biblical beliefs than a church with a false prophet that is their authority. I have found in EGW books over 50 Bible contradictions that the SDA Church regarded as truth. After leaving Adventism it took me two years to separate EGW Bible contradictions from biblical truth from my mind. This is called being White-Washed. "What is the Church". Q: Why do you attack the Seventh-day Adventist Church and Ellen G. White? A: I
have Bible support for exposing false teachings and false prophets. The Apostles
preached the gospel and also warned the church against false prophets and
teachers. John
published a warning to Christians in Revelation against false teaching of the
Nicolaitans: (Rev 2:15 NIV) "Likewise you also have those who hold to the
teaching of the Nicolaitans." (Rev 2:16 NIV) "Repent therefore!
Otherwise, I will soon come to you and will fight against them with the sword of
my mouth." Peter
published a letter warning against false prophets and false teachers among the
Christians. (2 Pet 2:1 NIV) "But there were also false prophets among the
people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly
introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought
them—bringing swift destruction on themselves." The Seventh-day Adventist
Church and Ellen G. White speaks out against the Catholics, Mormons, Sunday
keepers and others and do not consider this as a attack, but bringing out the
truth. Should you condemn me when your own church does the same? A: Taking
the gospel to the world is a command of Jesus Christ and is important for
Christians to do what they can to accomplish this. I do this by by testifying to our non Christian friends that salvation is in
Jesus Christ alone. Truth or Fables is going around the world and freeing those
in EGW bondage which is no gospel at all. When the gospel is integrated with Ellen White's Bible contradictions,
and we ignore this, then we are failing to present the true gospel to those that
have a false gospel. Adventists believe EGW's
health reform
is part of the gospel and that Satan
is their Scapegoat.
See web site for these topics. Their
Sanctuary and Investigative Judgment doctrines are not biblical which is a part
of their gospel. Q: How do I show my family and friends that Adventists are wrong? A: You
can take a topic or an Ellen G. White contradiction and have them explain how it
can be correct according to the Bible? Truth will always stand on its own merits. Q: Can reading Ellen G. White's books be wrong? I accepted Christ after reading Desire of Ages. A: Many
people have accepted Christ just from hearing the Word told them by missionaries
and not having read the Bible. Many have accepted Christ from the witness they
have read in an uninspired book, purchased in a bookstore. It is the Holy Spirit
that convicts us to accept Christ. Reading Ellen G. White's books can be wrong
if that person believes Ellen is inspired and she is their authority as taught
by the SDA Church. The wrong comes in by accepting her writings as truth when
they are filled with Bible contradictions. How do we learn the truth of the
Bible? Do we learn it from uninspired books people write about the Bible or do
we learn God's will by studying the Bible? Certainly we can gain insights from
the research of Bible scholars. But we do not accept those insights unless we
put them to the Bible test. Keep in mind Ellen did not write Desire of Ages by
herself. She had a staff of college educated secretaries getting information
from outside sources and filling gaps from what Ellen had them write. Ellen
stole a large amount of material to put in her books. Then she claimed God gave
her every word she needed as she wrote. She claimed the light she received was
from the throne of God, but in reality it was from her 1200 plus library. Some
was from fiction. Q: How can I know for myself what the Bible teaches? A: Get a modern translation of the Bible, as the KJV uses old English words and a concordance to help you locate Bible texts. Go to a Christian bookstore and purchase an "Inductive Bible Study." This will help you see what the Bible is conveying to you. Stay away from books by authors that try to teach you the Bible or Revelation, as there are a multitude of views held.
