An Apropos Analogy -- Are You Joined to The Church of Satan?

Dear Reader,

In San Francisco, California there is a Church of Satan (Search Church of Satan on Google). Let's suppose that you joined that church and paid dues to it, but you did not agree with or teach its doctrines, but you received certain benefits by being a member of that church, so you joined it. You joined knowing that the dues you paid to the church would be used to advance its Satanic ideology.

Let's suppose that by being a member of The Church of Satan you could receive cheaper rates for radio and television broadcasting time. So you joined and paid dues in order to be able to broadcast the three angel's messages at a cheaper rate. Also, let's say that it was Caesar's ruling that you could not give the three angel's messages in certain countries of the world unless you belonged to the local Church of Satan in those countries!

Questions:

• Do you think this would be proper for a professing Christian?
• If not, why not?
• Should we be joined to Satan in any way in order to receive benefits from him?
• Could we say to the world that we have a commission from God to call others out of The Church of Satan, if we were members of it ourselves?
• Could we be financial supporting members of The Church of Satan and not be responsible for the doctrinal ideology it promulgates?
• In God's sight, could you successfully be a member of the church of Satan and at the same time be a member of the heavenly church described in Hebrews 12:22, 23.
• According to Scripture, can we serve the causes of two masters? Can we and/or should we join Satan's church (Synagogue) in order to advance the cause of God. Is God that desperate?
• How would membership in The Church of Satan reconcile with Isaiah 8:9-12?
• Should you join The Church of Satan in order to advance the three angel's messages in certain countries of the world, or should you promulgate them via underground methods like the faithful True Reformer Adventists do in Russia?

Now let's parallel the above scenario with the liaison the professing Seventh-day Adventist Church has with the fallen churches of Babylon. The SDA church claims to have the gift of prophecy in the person of Ellen G. White. In fact, the recent (2005) General Conference in Session, just reaffirmed their belief in Ellen White and admonished the church members to be more efficacious in the study of her materials. So let's follow the advice of the highest SDA leaders in General Conference Session, which the church regards as the Voice of God to the church!

The professing Seventh-day Adventist Church professes to have a commission from God Almighty, to give the three angel's messages to the world. Those messages, which are found in Revelation 14:6 and on, call every person in the world out of worldliness and churches that cannot be distinguished from the world, Early Writings, p. 273.

Ellen White, their prophet, summarizes the SDA mission and commission as follows:

Theocracy -- "God's people have been called out of the world, that they may be separated from the world. It is not safe for them to take sides in politics, whatever preference they may have. They are ever to remember that they are one in Christ. God calls upon them to enter their names as under His THEOCRACY. He cannot approve of those who link up with worldlings [and churches which cannot be distinguished from the world, Early Writings, 273]. We are entirely out of our place when we identify ourselves with party interests....

God has chosen a people who are to proclaim the third angel's message to the world. They are to be a separate and peculiar people in this world of churches who are transgressing His commandments." E.G. White Manuscript Releases Volume 3, 40, 41.

"I saw that since the second angel proclaimed the fall of the churches, they have been growing more and more corrupt. They bear the name of being Christ's followers; yet it is IMPOSSIBLE to distinguish them from the world...Satan has taken FULL POSSESSION of the churches as a body." E.G. White, Early Writings, 273.

I hasten to mention that Ellen White and the professing SDA Church also believe that God has many sincere souls in all professing Christian churches and that all who are indeed sincere, will heed the call to come out of those bodies when and if they hear the call, and/or be judged according to how devout in their belief in Christ they are/were, and according to what they knew if they never hear/heard the call.

And of course the Midnight Cry call of 1844, was a Second angel call to come out of Babylon, Rev. 14:8 and 18:2. In Matthew 25, it says that all those virgins slept (all ten sleep) after a call is given. The call was given in 1844, and thereafter they went back to sleep. There is to be another call. See Christ's Object Lessons, 405-6, to see who awakens the bride and then who the bride awakens.

Now let us examine the relationship the professing Seventh-day Adventist church has with the Associations, Councils, and Confederacies of Babylon, Rome and her fallen daughters. If you do not believe that Rome is fallen and that she has harlot daughters who follow some of her practices, then you should by all means cease to be a protestant and join the Roman Catholic Church.

But in the case of you who believe that Rome is the Beast power and that she has fallen harlot daughters who follow her lead in violation of the commandments of God, then consider the following scenario:

The professing Seventh-day Adventist Church, which claims the gift of prophecy and professes to be the remnant bride of Jesus Christ, and claims to be spiritual Jerusalem, the earthly representatives of the heavenly Jerusalem church defined in Hebrews 12:22, 23, has joined what it taught for over 150 years was fallen Babylon's Associations, Councils and Confederacies, in order to obtain financial assistance by way of discounted radio and television broadcasting time rates. It has joined the Communication Commission of the National Councils of Churches of Christ in the U.S.A. It has joined some of the National Councils of Churches in various countries of the world wherein it could not operate "above ground" without MEMBERSHIP in those National Councils. But friend of mine, the SDA Church has done more than join. A Seventh-day Adventist functions as the TREASURER of Satan's National Council of Churches Communication Commission in the U.S.A.! That is what B.B. Beach meant when he said that Adventists are not just observers, but PRO-ACTIVE! Membership alone is strictly forbidden by God in Isaiah 8:9-10, but SDAs go far beyond that to be pro-active MEMBERS. (See our indisputable proof in this document wherein we provide the link to the National Council of Churches Communication Commission).

The chain of command in the World Council of Churches is as follows:

• World Council of Churches
• National Councils of Churches
• Local Ministerial Associations in every major locale
• The way any church becomes a MEMBER of the World Council of Churches is by membership in one or more National Councils of Churches and membership in one or more of the local subsidiary Ministerial Associations.
• Annual dues are charged to all members of all the above agencies.

Questions:

• According to Ellen G. White, Rome and her fallen daughters are led by Satan as a whole.
• If Satan is their leader, how do they differ from The Church of Satan in San Francisco, California? Is one faction that is led by Satan any better than another? Is it okay to join one of his sects or cults and not another? If one forfeits salvation by pandering to Satan by trying to serve two masters--he and Christ, how is any one faction led by Satan better than any other--wherein salvation is concerned?
• If the fallen churches constitute Babylon, and the SDA mission and commission is to call folk out of Babylon, how can they do so when they are joined to it and financially support it themselves? Is it state of the art hypocrisy to make such an attempt?
• Should the professing Seventh-day Adventist Church which claims the gift of prophecy, violate both Scripture (Isaiah 8:9-20), and Ellen G. White's counsel, by joining the World Council of Churches via its National Councils in various countries of the world and its local Ministerial Associations in every country of the world?
• Why does the professing SDA Church claim Ellen White as a prophetess, and admonish its members to be devout in reading and following her writings, while its leadership so openly and grossly violates her admonitions regarding ecumenical ties with Babylon and the admonitions of God in Isaiah 8:9-20?
• Is it all like Jesus told the Jews. Do what the leaders say, but don't do what they do!
• Is not the second angel's message a clear and clarion example of corporate responsibility for the errors of a church? In other words, if we could remain members of corrupt churches and just disagree with the corruptness, why would there be a call by God Almighty to come out and be a separate, peculiar and holy people? Why would Protestants have come out of the Catholic Church? Why would Adventists have needed to come out of the other churches in and since 1844? Why did Jesus take His disciples away from the apostate Jewish Synagogue and start home churches?
• Is it a total Violation of the Second Angel's Message and the Midnight Cry to become linked-up with Babylon in any way? God and Ellen White answer an emphatic YES!

• What happened to all in 1844, who heard and understood the second angel's message and thereafter disobeyed it? Why should God be any more lenient to those who have known that message for over 150 years and now are disobeying it?
