We
bear false witness when we add a little to our brother's words, and give them
a false coloring; and in the sight of God we are not doers, but transgressors
of the law. We
are not on the Lord's side; we are on the side of him who hurts, destroys,
and tears down the cause of truth. We should pray for one another, instead of
drawing apart. {RH, August 27, 1889 par. 6}

Ron responds:
The leaders of new movement Adventism should have never should
have born false witness by tearing down pillar doctrines to teach Babylon’s
antichrist doctrine on the human nature of Christ. We cannot unify with
antichrist and another false gospel being admixed to the true one. It is not
tearing down the cause of truth to unmask the tearing down of truth!
It is tearing down the cause of truth when we defend a new
movement that has removed pillar doctrines and God. Ellen White said “...nothing
would be allowed to stand in the way of the New Movement.” That would include
prayer. She said the apostasy of the omega would wax stronger until the end.
This condition prevents unifying with those in gross apostasy. That is why we
did not unify with the other fallen churches.
"Christ calls for
unity. But He does not call for us to
unify on wrong practices. The God of
heaven draws a sharp contrast between pure, elevating, ennobling truth and
false, misleading doctrines." 1SM 175.
"Sins exist in the
church that God hates, but they are scarcely touched for fear of making
enemies. Opposition has risen in the
church to the plain testimony. Some will not bear it. They wish smooth things spoken unto
them. And if the wrongs of individuals
are touched, they complain of severity, and sympathize with those in the
wrong." SG vol 2, 283.
"God calls for men of
decided fidelity. He has no use in an
emergency for two-sided men. He wants
man who will lay their hand upon a wrong work and say, 'This is not according
to the will of God.'" 2SM 152, 153.
"Jesus prayed that his
followers might be one; but we are not to sacrifice the truth in order to
secure this union, for we are to be sanctified through the truth.... Men would try to effect unity through
concession to popular opinion, through compromise with the world, a sacrifice
of vital godliness. But truth is God's
basis for the unity of his people." 2RH 560.
"To
secure peace and unity they were ready to make any concession consistent with
fidelity to God but they felt that even peace would be too dearly purchased
at the sacrifice of principle. If unity could be secured only by the
compromise of truth and righteousness, then let there be difference, and even
war" (Great Controversy, p. 45).
"While
others try to throw a cloak over the existing evil, and excuse the great
wickedness everywhere prevalent, those who have a zeal for God's honor and a
love for souls will not hold their peace to obtain favor of any. Their
righteous souls are vexed day by day with the unholy works and conversation
of the unrighteous. They are powerless to stop the rushing torrent of
iniquity, and hence they are filled with grief and alarm. They mourn before
God to see religion despised in the very homes of those who have had great
light. They lament and afflict their souls because pride, avarice,
selfishness, and deception of almost every kind are in the church. The Spirit
of God, which prompts to reproof, is trampled underfoot, while the servants
of Satan triumph. God is dishonored, the truth made of none effect" (Testimonies,
Vol. 5, pp. 210, 211).
"The
same disobedience and failure which were seen in the Jewish church have
characterized in a greater degree the people who have had this great light
from heaven in the last messages of warning" (Testimonies, Vol.
5, p. 456).
"Confederacies
will increase in number and power as we draw nearer to the end of time. These
confederacies will create opposing influences to the truth, forming new
parties of professed believers who will act out their own delusive theories.
The apostasy will increase. 'Some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to
seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils.' Men and women have confederated
to oppose the Lord God of heaven, and the church is only half awake to the
situation. There needs to be much more prayer, much more of earnest effort,
among professed believers." --Review and Herald, Aug. 5, 1909,
(Evangelism p. 363)
We cannot
unite with the openly corrupt and mature as wheat or as the Zion bride of
Jesus, because she is not defiled with women or fallen, corrupt, antichrist
churches, Rev. 14:1-4.
Ellen
White hinted as to the cause for another coming out.
Another Coming Out: "As reformers they had
come out of the denominational churches, but they now act a part similar
to that which the churches acted. We hoped that there would not be the
necessity for another coming out." Ellen G. White, The Ellen G. White
1888 Materials, Vol. 1, p. 356-7.
“There
was a coming out, a decided separation from the wicked, an escape for life.
So it was in the days of Noah; so with Lot; so with the disciples prior to
the destruction of Jerusalem; and so it will be in the last days. Again the
voice of God is heard in a message of warning, bidding His people separate
themselves from the prevailing iniquity.”—Patriarchs and Prophets,
166.
When the
church not only acts a part similar to that which the other churches are
acting, but actually forms liaisons with them which result in embracing their
antichrist doctrines (eg. Nature of Christ), and thus forms an Omega of Apostasy New
Movement, that we were never to join, (1SM 204-5), the gloves are off.
Then there is the necessity for another coming out.
