Seventh-day Adventists Glorify Ellen G. White & a White Jesus in San Antonio SDA Conference

Larry Wessels, director of Christian Answers of Austin, Texas/ Christian Debater (YouTube Channel CANSWERSTV at https://www.youtube.com/user/CAnswersTV; websites: http://www.BibleQuery.org, http://www.HistoryCart.com, & http://www.MuslimHope.com, email: cdebater@aol.com) is joined by his video man Dan as they take a field trip to the 60th General Conference in San Antonio, Texas being held at the Alamodome & the San Antonio Convention Center. Up to 70,000 Seventh-day Adventists gathered here during July 2015 from around the world.

Pastor Ted N. C. Wilson, President
General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists says, "During a General Conference Session, not only do we have the joy of worshipping together as a worldwide family; we have the opportunity to clearly focus on the mission of the church, and how best to accomplish that mission. Elements of our overall mission theme of “Tell the World” will continue until the Lord comes as we reach up to God, reach out to others, and reach across to nurture, retain, and involve everyone in the work of the church.

Let’s continue moving forward together as we focus on God’s Holy Word, on the Holy Spirit’s wonderful work of personal and corporate revival and reformation, on health and community outreach, on integrated evangelism using personal outreach, integrated media approaches, and public evangelism, and on our mission to the cities where millions are longing for the hope that we have to share. Moving forward, let us reaffirm the marvelous foundational truths of the Bible that make us who we are as Seventh-day Adventists—including our understanding of the sanctuary service as God’s work for His people at this time, and the wonderful guiding blessing that God has given the church through the gift of the Spirit of Prophecy."

Go on a journey with Larry Wessels as he visits with many Seventh-day Adventists & reviews their exhibits, particularly seeing many displays glorifying their prophetess Ellen White & seeing many depictions of the white man Seventh-day Adventist Jesus in paintings & statues. The white, Anglo-Saxon Jesus that the Seventh-day Adventists use for their depictions looks very similar to the depictions that the Mormons also use. To understand the link between Mormonism & Seventh-day Adventism see the video "RISE OF THE CULTS: WHERE DID ALL THESE STRANGE AMERICAN RELIGIOUS SECTS COME FROM?" at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfVTXbFrvh8&list=PLBD55090718DA6D3D&index=1.

•Ellen G. White said that Daniel 8:14 is the foundation and central pillar of the Advent faith.

•A recent book on the sanctuary by Adventist leader Dr. Roy Adams is subtitled, The heart of Adventist theology.

•Dr. Richard Davidson referred to the sanctuary as the heart of doctrine.

•Dr. Angel Rodriguez, professor of theology at the Adventist seminary and associate director of the Adventist Biblical Research Institute, stated forthrightly, “Without 1844 and the doctrine of the Sanctuary ... there is no reason for us to exist. 1844 provided for us our identity and our mission. And if we are wrong, then we are simply wrong.”

We can see that the stakes are high.

There are many, perhaps the majority, of Adventist pastors and Bible teachers who want to run as far away from Daniel 8:14, 1844 and the investigative judgment, and the cleansing of the heavenly sanctuary as possible. Yet the church cannot dismiss this doctrine. This doctrine is not only the central pillar in name, it is the central pillar holding up the whole Adventist identity. I agree 100% with Dr. Rodriguez on this point. If the Adventist church were to jettison this teaching, the organization would be morphed into something it is not. That is why the last two General Conference presidents have openly endorsed Ellen White and the sanctuary doctrine. If they were to admit the errors of October 22, 1844, and the investigative judgment as the cleansing of the heavenly sanctuary as taught by Ellen White, then Ellen White would fall as “a continuing and authoritative source of truth”. If Ellen White is rejected, the doctrine of the remnant church would fall on the heap. If the remnant church doctrine goes, then the Sabbath as the seal of God for end time believers and Sunday as the mark of the beast crumbles into the dust.
