Seventh-Day Adventist false prophetess Ellen G. White is at it again, contradicting the Bible. This time she says tea and coffee are sinful in stark contrast to the words of Jesus Christ in Mark 7 who says all foods are clean because defilement doesn't come from what one eats, but from ones heart. "This is the work that needs to be done in this country. Ignorance prevails, and all need to study to acquire knowledge, that they may impart knowledge both by precept and example. Perverted appetite has been indulged. Tea and coffee drinking is a sin, an injurious indulgence, which, like other evils, injures the soul. These darling idols create an excitement, a morbid action of the nervous system, and after the immediate influence of its stimulus is gone, it lets down below par just to that degree that its stimulating properties elevated above par."—Manuscript 44, 1896 "And he called the people to him again and said to them, “Hear me, all of you, and understand: There is nothing outside a person that by going into him can defile him, but the things that come out of a person are what defile him.” And when he had entered the house and left the people, his disciples asked him about the parable. And he said to them, “Then are you also without understanding? Do you not see that whatever goes into a person from outside cannot defile him, since it enters not his heart but his stomach, and is expelled?” (Thus he declared all foods clean.) And he said, “What comes out of a person is what defiles him. For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, coveting, wickedness, deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride, foolishness. All these evil things come from within, and they defile a person.”—Mark 7:14-23 #religion #theology #theologymatters #biblequotes #adventism #ellengwhite #heretics #falsedoctrine #falsepreacher #christiantheology #christiandoctrine #seventhdayadventistchurch

What is the Gospel? How is man reconciled to God? The Seventh-Day Adventist Church and their prophetess, Ellen G. White, say it's through faith and your obedience to the Law. But the Bible disagrees and says reconciliation happens when one believes on the Lord Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of their sins in Romans 5. "Man, who has defaced the image of God in his soul by a corrupt life, cannot, by mere human effort, effect a radical change in himself. He must accept the provisions of the gospel; he must be reconciled to God through obedience to His law and faith in Jesus Christ. His life from thenceforth must be governed by a new principle. Through repentance, faith, and good works he may perfect a righteous character, and claim, through the merits of Christ, the privileges of the sons of God. The principles of divine truth, received and cherished in the heart, will carry us to a height of moral excellence that we had not deemed it possible for us to reach."—Testimonies for the Church, Vol. 4, pg. 294 "For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die—but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God. For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life. More than that, we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation."—Romans 5:6-11 #adventism #theology #theologymatters #christiantheology #biblequotes #sda #seventhdayadventistchurch #bibledoctrine #thegospel #thegospeltruth #debate #religion

Continuing our examination of the Seventh-Day Adventist Gospel (branded as the "Three Angel's Messages" or "The Everlasting Gospel") we begin breaking down how they interpret and apply the "First Angel's Message" of Revelation 14:6-7. What is the investigative judgment that is a part of their Sanctuary system of salvation? Is this doctrine compatible with the Gospel of Jesus Christ?

In His grace, God entered into His own creation in the person of Jesus Christ (John 1:1-14; Col. 1:19), born of a virgin (Matt. 1:23), and lived a perfect and sinless life, fulfilling all the Law’s demands (2 Cor. 5:21; Matt. 5:17), on a mission by God the Father to save sinners from condemnation (John 3:16-18, 6:37-40). He paid the penalty for sin which is death (Romans 6:23) and bore the sins of His people in His body on a cross (1 Peter 2:24), making propitiation by His blood (Romans 3:25). He died, was buried, and resurrected in the same body He died in on the third day for our justification (1 Cor. 15, Romans 4:25; Luke 24:39). By a living faith (James 2:18) in the Person and Work of Jesus (Romans 10:9-10), God graciously declares a person righteous (Romans 4:5), they are reconciled to their Creator (Romans 5:10-11), sealed with the Holy Spirit (Eph. 1:13), and have peace with God (Romans 5:1). They are born again of the Spirit (1 John 5:1, Titus 3:5), adopted into His family (Eph. 4:5–7), and are granted eternal resurrection life in Jesus Christ (1 John 5:11), set free to do good works that please Him (Eph. 2:10; 1 John 2:3-4). Jesus will physically return one day to judge the living and the dead (1 Peter 4:5; Acts 24:15; John 5:24-5) but His people will be spared from the wrath to come (1 Thess. 1:10) to dwell in union with God forever (Rev. 21:3). #thegospel #christiantheology #adventism #sda #seventhdayadventistchurch #apologetics #adventistchurch #sdachurch

What does the Seventh-Day Adventist Church teach about salvation? What do they believe the Good News (Gospel) is? Is the "everlasting gospel" of Revelation 14:6 something that is being restored by a remnant group of Seventh-Day Adventist's in the end times? The Adventist Church would have you think so. This is the message you will hear from popular Adventist pastors such as Doug Batchelor, Ted Wilson, and Mark Finley. In part 1 of this 4 part series we begin our examination of the Gospel of Adventism (branded as The Three Angel's Messages) in contrast to the historic, biblical Gospel of Jesus Christ. Herbert E. Douglass, "What is the Everlasting Gospel" paper: https://digitalcommons.andrews.edu/jats/vol12/iss2/10/ November 29, 1934 "Review & Herald" Article: https://documents.adventistarchives.org/Periodicals/RH/RH19341129-V111-48.pdf The Gospel of Jesus Christ: Man has broken God’s Law (Romans 3:23; 1 John 1:8) and our sin has separated us from our Maker (Isaiah 59:2).

Doug Batchelor (@PastorBatchelor) claims Jesus Christ is a Seventh-Day Adventist. What in the world? Is this true? Myself, EJ Thunder Lauriston (@PastorThunder) and CMB the Ambassador (@cmbtheambassador5773) analyze this statement and why it's pertinent to SDA theology. #dougbatchelor #amazingfacts #sda #jesusislord #seventhdayadventist #sdachurch #adventistchurch

No physical resurrection of the dead?! Jesus ditched his physical body?! Myself, Jeremiah Nortier (@TheApologeticDog) and Dr. Sam Frost discuss the recent controversy surrounding Gary DeMar and his seeming shift toward the heresy of full/hyper-preterism with the defense being "sola scriptura". But is Gary utilizing sola scriptura or something else? His reasoning sounds a lot like Adventist's and other Restorationist groups.

Using an example from a video by Doug Batchelor (@PastorBatchelor) titled, "Is it a Sin for Christian's to Eat Pork", we look at how some Adventist pastors subtly slip in extra-biblical details that aren't found in the Bible while at the same time telling you they are "bible only". Where could they possibly be getting these extra-biblical details from?... Video in review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NAxT0fYdGP4 Scripture examined: Genesis 9:1-4 "And God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth. The fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth and upon every bird of the heavens, upon everything that creeps on the ground and all the fish of the sea. Into your hand they are delivered. Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you. And as I gave you the green plants, I give you everything. But you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, its blood." #dougbatchelor #amazingfacts #sda

Did Jesus's disciples or Joseph of Arimathea take the body of Jesus down from the cross? Ellen G. White, the false prophetess of Seventh-Day Adventism, yet again contradicts the Bible demonstrating that, by her own standard, he teachings are from Satan. "Notwithstanding the disciples had been disappointed in their hopes concerning Jesus, they yet loved Him and desired to give His body an honored burial, but knew not how to obtain it. Joseph of Arimathea, a wealthy and influential councilor of the Jews and a true disciple of Jesus, went privately yet boldly to Pilate and begged from him the Saviour's body. He dared not go openly, because of the hatred of the Jews. The disciples feared that an effort would be made by them to prevent the body of Christ from having an honored resting place. Pilate granted the request, and the disciples took the lifeless form down from the cross, while in deep anguish they mourned over their blighted hopes. Carefully the body was wrapped in fine linen, and laid in Joseph's new sepulcher."—Early Writings, pg. 180 "Now there was a man named Joseph, from the Jewish town of Arimathea. He was a member of the council, a good and righteous man, who had not consented to their decision and action; and he was looking for the kingdom of God. This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then he took it down and wrapped it in a linen shroud and laid him in a tomb cut in stone, where no one had ever yet been laid."—Luke 24:50-53 #seventhdayadventist #amazingfacts #ellengwhite #sdachurch #theologymatters #heretics #heresy #doctrinematters #christianity

Doug Batchelor (@PastorBatchelor) explains the Seventh-Day Adventist Church's teaching regarding the state of the dead ("soul sleep"). Are they correct?

Is the Law of Moses separate and distinct from the Law of God (10 Commandments)? The SDA Church and Doug Batchelor (@PastorBatchelor) would have you think so. In fact, they need this to be the case for their Great Controversy system of theology to work. But is it true? Grab a Bible and let's test this theory... Video in Review: https://youtu.be/5iF0pENRls8 Scriptures reviewed: Deuteronomy 4:13, 27:26, 31:9-13, 24-26; 2 Chronicles 34:14-33; Joshua 8:30-34; Exodus 24:3-8; Galatians 3:10 G.I. Butler quote, "The Law in the Book of Galatians", pg. 39 "The ‘book of the law’ which was placed ‘in the side of the ark,’ or at the side of it, contained both the moral and ceremonial laws. The language is not, ‘Cursed be he that continueth not in all things written in the ten commandments to do them’, as it doubtless would have been, had Paul had only the moral law in view. But the curse applied to any and all violations of the ceremonial law as well; for that was written in the book.” #dougbatchelor #sda #sdachurch #seventhdayadventist #amazingfacts

Started by a third-generation, former Seventh-Day Adventist (SDA), Answering Adventism is a gospel-centered educational resource for Christians that deals with the SDA Church. Our videos compare the Church's doctrines, history, leaders, and statements with historic, biblical Christianity. We seek to proclaim and exalt the once-for-all Gospel of the Triune God's sovereign grace and freedom to save for His own eternal glory. Soli Deo Gloria!

Doug Batchelor (@PastorBatchelor) claims that Seventh-Day Adventist church doesn't teach that 7th Day Sabbath observance is a salvational issue. He also claims that Jesus's commands are the 10 Commandments. Is this true? Myself, EJ Thunder Lauriston (@PastorThunder) and CMB the Ambassador (@cmbtheambassador5773) analyze this statement for whether it is a fact of fable. #dougbatchelor #amazingfacts #sda #adventism #seventhdayadventist #sdachurch #adventistchurch
