THROWBACK: William G. Johnsson (Adventist) vs. Walter Martin (Christian) | Is Adventism a Cult?
It's been decades since Dr. Walter Martin—author of the famed Kingdom of the Cults—initially gave Seventh-Day Adventism a pass and listed them as heterodox, and not cultic, in his book. But did the story end there? He appeared on the John Ankerberg Show in 1985 not too long after the release of his book to discuss with the then editor of the Adventist Review, Mr. William G. Johnsson, where he demonstrates a change of heart—mostly tied to the SDA Church's views on Ellen G. White.

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). 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).

Jesus or Satan? An Adventist Presents His BEST CASE for Satan Being the Leviticus 16 Scapegoat!
The SDA Church teaches that the scapegoat of the Levitical Day of Atonement typifies Satan, not Jesus—contrary to the Christian church universally understanding it to be Jesus. What are the implications of this? What did the scapegoat represent? A Seventh-Day Adventist joins to present his best case—from scripture—for Satan being typified by the Leviticus 16 Day of Atonement scapegoat. He has up to 15 minutes uninterrupted before we begin examining the theory from scripture to see how it holds up.

Jewish Sabbath?! Is the Lord's Day in Revelation 1:10 Saturday?
Dr. Brant Bosserman explains why the phrase "The Lord's Day" in Revelation 1:10 is not the seventh-day, Jewish sabbath and why the grammar demonstrates this.
Dr. Bosserman has worked in Christian higher education since 2008, lecturing in biblical studies and western philosophy. Upon completing his Ph.D. in philosophy of religion in 2012, his thesis was published under the title, “The Trinity and the Vindication of Christian Paradox: An Interpretation and Refinement of the Theological Apologetic of Cornelius Van Til.” The same year, he was ordained in the Presbyterian Church in America, and called to plant Trinitas Presbyterian Church in Mill Creek, Washington. Since then, he continues to serve as senior minister.

The Spiritual Darkness of Adventism's Last Generation Theology w/ Dr. Allen Davis
Classical Adventist theology is rooted in Last Generation Theology (LGT). This has caused a rift amongst the modern day Seventh-Day Adventist movement. Historic Adventist's—such as Dennis Priebe, Stephen Bohr and Walter Veith—would argue it's the consistent end state of the Adventist system of theology. The liberal wing would beg to differ. So what is it exactly?
Former Adventist Dr. Allen Davis @DrAD767 (previous executive at the Weimar Institute @WeimarUni and Doug Batchelor's @AmazingFacts) joins me to discuss this highly controversial subject as someone who used to—not only affirm LGT—but was platformed by the Seventh-Day Adventist Church to teach it.

Where's That In The Bible?! A Response to Pastor Stephen Bohr
By viewer request, we review Pastor Stephen Bohr of Secrets Unsealed (@secretsunsealed) who gave a talk at the 2023 Michigan Conference Camp Meeting titled "Deadly Camouflage".
The Adventist Church is notorious for claiming they "only believe the Bible". This talk is a perfect example of how this is only lip service and provides us with a number of examples to show how, within Adventism, scripture is often subtly twisted to—ultimately—fit with Ellen G. White's writings (the "Spirit of Prophecy"). So we want to ask the question, "Book, chapter, and verse, please?"

Daniel 8:14 is about 1844?! Christian Pastor Responds!
Clifford Goldstein (editor of the Sabbath School Quarterly) gave a presentation defending Daniel 8:14 pointing to 1844 and the Investigative Judgment. Pastor Anthony Rogers (@Ousias1) shows why this is erroneous with the Hebrew grammar and the history of Daniel's prophecy.
Full stream this clip is from: https://www.youtube.com/live/IaOBzQePNrs?feature=share
The clip of Clifford Goldstein is from the "Holding the Line Conference" which was hosted at Doug Batchelor's church, Granite Bay Hilltop SDA Church, in April of 2023.

Doug Batchelor REWRITES History & Gets Caught LYING About Christians!
Is the belief that the soul continues after one dies a mythological teaching that crept into Christianity from outside of the Bible during the Dark Ages? Adventist pastor and @AmazingFacts president Doug Batchelor (@PastorBatchelor), along with many Seventh-Day Adventist's, have asserted this for years. Today we test this claim by utilizing some primary, historical source documentation to show, yet again, Doug Batchelor is lying about why Christian's believe what they do regarding the afterlife and the state of the dead.

An SDA Named “Destroying False Christianity” Shows Up. Then THIS Happens!
Avery from @GodLogicApologetics invited myself and a Seventh-Day Adventist onto his program to have a discussion on Adventism. The SDA gentleman had been on prior, full of emotion and energy when he was discussing with someone less versed in SDA theology.
Let's see if Mr. Destroying False Christianity (aka true Christianity) brings that same energy this go around.

3 Reasons Why I Am A Presbyterian & Joined the PCA (+ Some Other Fun Facts)
One of the most common questions I get from people is why I am a Presbyterian. So I figured it might be helpful to make a video explaining a few of the reasons. I am a member in a local church affiliated with the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) which is the theologically conservative branch with roots back in the Protestant Reformation.

Seal of God?! The Adventist Church is Wrong About the Sabbath w/ Dr. Brant Bosserman
The Pope changed the Sabbath? Seventh-Day Sabbath is God's seal? Sunday is the Mark of the Beast?
Dr. Brant Bosserman, pastor of Trinitas Presbyterian Church in Mill Creek, WA, joins me to discuss the Seventh-Day Adventist Church's view of the Seventh-day Sabbath and some of the charges they make about Christian's having no Biblical basis for worshiping on Sunday. Is this true? Is worshiping on Sunday a product of the papacy and Constantine? Is it pagan in origin? The seal of God? All of this and more as we discuss these claims in light of the biblical evidence.

The White Lies of Adventism: Response to Dr. Merlin Burt of The Ellen White Estate | Part 1
What is the Spirit of Prophecy? What is the testimony of Jesus? Was Ellen G. White a true prophet? What do Adventist's really believe about the gift of prophecy?
In a recent video posted by Mark Finley's, HopeLives365 (@HL365), Dr. Merlin Burt from the Ellen White Estate gave a presentation entitled "Ellen G. White and True Adventist Theology". In this presentation Dr. Burt states many of the common claims the SDA Church has been making for decades regarding Adventist history, theology and Mrs. White. The question is...are they true? We will answer a number of these to help Christian's be able to spot the subtle twisting and slipperiness that often takes place in Adventist theology and retelling of history.

In part 4 we look at a central pillar of what the Seventh-Day Adventist church teaches regarding the high priestly work of Jesus and if the claims around 1844 jive with the scriptures.

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).

In this clip from a live Q&A, someone had a question about the atonement. Was the atonement completed at the cross or is it an ongoing act that is finishing in Heaven like the Adventist Church teaches?

Refuting 1844 and the Investigative Judgment w/ Pastor Anthony Rogers
Jesus entered the Most Holy Place in 1844? Believers sins are still on record in Heaven? Jesus is cleansing the Heavenly Sanctuary? In this discussion, Pastor Anthony Rogers (@Ousias1) and I will be examining the Adventist pillar doctrine of the Investigative Judgement, how it contradicts scripture, and presents a different Jesus than that of history and scripture, fundamentally altering the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Sinai vs. Zion: Why Are So Many Adventists Filled With Fear & Anxiety?!
I talk with hundreds of Seventh-Day Adventist's each month. A constant among many of them is that the teachings leave them with fear and anxiety. If the Adventist Church is heralding the Gospel like they claim, then why is this the case? Here's a word of encouragement for those SDAs...

Former SDA Explains Adventist End Times Theology to A Christian Pastor
Dr. Josh Howard (Pastor of Grace Community Church in Battle Creek, Michigan) had me on his podcast (@eschatology_matters) to explain how Seventh-Day Adventist eschatology (end times theology) differs from orthodox branches of Christian eschatology. We discuss the Great Controversy Theme, 1844 and the Investigative Judgment, the Final Judgment, the Second Coming, and more.

DEBATE: Was Atonement Complete At The Cross or Continuing in Heaven? | Part 2
In this clip from an apologetics roundtable call, a Christian and a Seventh-Day Adventist discuss the Adventist Churches teaching about the atonement and the investigative judgment. Can someone who affirms the official teachings of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church actually say they are reconciled to God yet?

The Biblical Trinity Vs. The Adventist "Heavenly Trio" w/ Jeremiah Nortier
The Seventh-Day Adventist Church claims in their official beliefs to affirm the doctrine of the Trinity. Do they? In this discussion, Pastor Jeremiah Nortier (@TheApologeticDog) and I discuss the orthodox teaching of the Trinity and compare it with the Adventist Church's "Heavenly Trio" concept. Are they the same? Let's find out...

God Now Forbids Jokes? #shorts #shocking
Ellen G. White claimed that joking, jesting and light-heartedness are one of the reasons sinners don't come to Christ. So, Christian, stop your joking around! Unbelievable...
"This spirit of jesting and joking, of lightness and trifling, is a stumbling block to sinners and a worse stumbling block to those who give way to the inclination of the unsanctified heart. The fact that some have allowed this trait to develop and strengthen until jesting is as natural as their breath, does not lessen its evil effects. When anyone can point to one trifling word spoken by our Lord, or to any lightness seen in His character, he may feel that lightness and jesting are excusable in himself. This spirit is unchristian; for to be a Christian is to be Christlike. Jesus is a perfect pattern, and we must imitate His example. A Christian is the highest type of man, a representative of Christ."—Evangelism, pg. 622
