The
Seven Unpardonable Omega Apostasies of the SDA Church—Part I of VII
"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 Vole 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 Click to go to our Home PageDear Reader, Amazingly, the huge majority of professing
Seventh-say Adventists were not alarmed until the Leland Kaiser spiritualist
pantheist incident occurred. That is true pathos in light of what you should
discern in this study. In this document I am going to list the
abominations mentioned in Scripture that cross God’s line in the sand to
constitute unpardonable sin. Then I am going to give the implications as
well, demonstrating the results of such sins in order to portray why they are
unpardonable in God’s estimation. I am going to cover all the abominations
that constitute unpardonable sin but will do so in a presentation of seven different
document parts because one part would be too lengthy. This document is part 1
of 7. Next to understanding the Salvific act of
our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, it is necessary to understand His
conditional requirements for salvation and when those requirements have been
violated to the degree of being unpardonable. This, few professing Christians
have any grasp of whatsoever. This is as Satan would have it. All threats and promises of Scripture and
Ellen White are in every case conditional until unpardonable sin is committed
by an individual and/or a corporate church body via leaders who perpetrate
such sin and adopt it into the church structure. This is extremely important
to remember. If one does not discern this living fact from Scripture and the
Spirit of Prophecy, he/she will misapply the promises of God in an
unconditional manner to the detriment of the church as a body (corporately),
and to individuals of the laity. First, here are the unpardonable sin
abominations in the order of their occurrence in the church. I will be
drawing heavily from Ezekiel chapters 5, 8, 9. 22, and Jeremiah 6 and 11, for
it is these chapters that spell out in most graphic detail the reasons for
another literal fulfillment of Ezekiel 9, as God, through Ezekiel 5 and Ellen
White have prophesied. There are many who will mock and deride these
unpardonable sins as mere faults and defects to their own ultimate damnation.
This will be more apparent when I deal with the implications of these
unpardonable sins. 1.
The adoptions
of the world’s Standards for Accreditation in 1930. 2.
Violation of
the first and Second Angel’s messages via ecumenical violations of Isaiah
8:9-14 from the latter 1950’s and on. 3.
Returning to
the iniquities of Adventism’s forefathers as a result of ecumenical
association, counsel and confederacy with fallen Babylon. 4.
The adoption of
the Trinity Doctrine, which defies the sacrificial Atonement of our Lord and
Son of God in the heavenly sanctuary at His Incarnation. I will graphically
demonstrate how the Trinity Doctrine does away with the Sanctuary and the
Atonement, which Ellen White saw GONE in the omega of apostasy. 5.
The teaching of
three different gospels by the professing Seventh-day Adventist church. 6.
The formation
of a new movement that has fulfilled every specification enumerated by Ellen
White in Selected Messages, Bk. 1,
204-5. 7.
The rise of New
Age Spiritualism in the church as taught by Loma Linda New Age Seminars and
the Leland Kaiser debacle. Now I am going to elaborate on each of the
above unpardonable sin apostasies and give the deep implications in an effort
to depict just how serious they are and why they all constitute the reasons
why God and Ellen White said that there will be another literal fulfillment
of Ezekiel 9, the last fulfillment being the destruction of Jerusalem, in
A.D. 70, Chapter 1, The Great Controversy. Ellen White called that
destruction a prefigure that symbolized the destruction of the world at the
end-time, and begins at God’s Sanctuary, Testimonies,
Vol. 5, 211. God says that judgment begins at the house of God, His
professing Sanctuary. Unpardonable
sin #1—The adoptions of the world’s
Standards for Accreditation in 1930: Implications: Ellen White said that if the
world was brought into the church and the church was thus married to the
world, it would become the cage of every unclean and hateful bird. That is
language strictly reserved to define Babylon in Revelation 18:2. She said
that our educational facilities were to be as the schools of the prophets
initiated by Elijah, for the purpose of doing missionary work around the
world. But the church became enamored with mammon,
the love of money and material goods. In order to obtain those goods, and for
purposes of bringing more money into the coffers of the church, worldly
education to obtain other jobs other than missionary world was the necessary
requisite. Ellen White approved of only medical personnel going to the world
for accreditation and that was because of the absolute requirement for that
field of endeavor. That blueprint was soon disbanded after
Ellen White’s death and worldly education and career avocations were pursued,
thus marrying the church and its members to worldly pursuits. Satan could
have had no easier track into a coup of the church than through the track of
education of the youth and now adults. To see the dire implication of this act,
note that the alpha of apostasy came through John Harvey Kellogg, whom Ellen
and James White sent to medical school. Ironically, he was the originator of
the Alpha of Apostasy in the church. Why? How? It all resulted primarily
because of the education he got from the world while taking medicine in its
institutions. So the deep implication of adopting the world’s Accreditation
Standards in 1930, and this act was voted on by a few leaders, as opposed to
the General Conference in Session, is that the worldly education standards
thereafter pursued and enforced by the world’s Accreditation Boards, have
resulted in the omega of apostasy, just as Kellogg’s worldly education
resulted in the alpha of apostasy in the church. SDA professors who have gone to
the world Seminaries for their religious education, have come back into our
colleges and universities and have taught that there is no Sanctuary and that
the Atonement was totally completed on the cross. What does Ellen White say?
What does the Sanctuary Service demand? Ellen
White says that the work of Christ in the Sanctuary above NOW, is
“just as essential” as His death on the cross: "The intercession of Christ in man's behalf in the sanctuary
above is as essential to the plan of salvation as was His death upon the
cross. By His death He began that work which after His resurrection He
ascended to complete in heaven. We must by faith enter within the veil,
'whither the forerunner is for us entered.' Hebrews 6:20:" E.G. White, The Great Controversy, 1911 edition,
p. 489. What is Christ doing now in the Sanctuary? On the typical Day of
Atonement, the High Priest could not come out of the Sanctuary until every
sin of the camp was confessed. Christ is waiting for a bride to purify
herself with the aid of His Holy Spirit, for that was the purpose of the
Father’s raising up of His Son: Act 3:26 Unto you first God, having raised up his Son
Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities. The people listened intently to hear the bells on the robe of the
High Priest to hear that he was coming out so they could know that their sins
were forgiven and the camp was clean of sin. All who had sinned and not put
away all sin were removed from the camp so that the sacrifice of the High
Priest would be accepted and the people could retain the presence and
blessing of God in the Holy of Holies. The presence of sin in any church thus hinders the coming of
Jesus Christ and the cleansing of the Sanctuary. The presence of unpardonable
sin demands another coming out of a people who have not committed
unpardonable sin. Did Ellen White say that we could hinder or hasten the
coming of Christ? Yes indeed. She said that Christ could have come in 1844 and
1888. Charge It Not to God.--We may have to remain here in this world
because of insubordination many more years, as did the children of Israel;
but for Christ's sake, His people should not add sin to sin by charging God
with the consequence of their own wrong course of action.--Letter 184, 1901.
{Ev 696.3} We May Hasten the
Day.--By giving the gospel to the world it is in our power to hasten our
Lord's return.--The Desire of Ages, p. 633. (1898) {Ev 696.4} It is the privilege of
every Christian, not only to look for, but to hasten the coming of our Lord
Jesus Christ. Were all who profess His name bearing fruit to His glory, how
quickly the whole world would be sown with the seed of the gospel. Quickly
the last harvest would be ripened, and Christ would come to gather the
precious grain.--Testimonies, vol.
8, pp. 22, 23. (1904) {Ev 696.5} Charge It Not to God.--We may have to remain here in this world
because of insubordination many more years, as did the children of Israel;
but for Christ's sake, His people should not add sin to sin by charging God
with the consequence of their own wrong course of action.--Letter 184, 1901.
{Ev 696.3} We May Hasten the
Day.--By giving the gospel to the world it is in our power to hasten our
Lord's return.--The Desire of Ages, p. 633. (1898) {Ev 696.4} It is the privilege of
every Christian, not only to look for, but to hasten the coming of our Lord
Jesus Christ. Were all who profess His name bearing fruit to His glory, how
quickly the whole world would be sown with the seed of the gospel. Quickly
the last harvest would be ripened, and Christ would come to gather the
precious grain.--Testimonies, vol.
8, pp. 22, 23. (1904) {Ev 696.5} Jesus is administering pleading His blood to the Father that His
Spirit be sent to all who desire it for the purpose of overcoming all
iniquity so He can cleanse the Sanctuary and come. All who are not agonizing
and putting away sin in the life will be put out of the camp of the heavenly
kingdom depicted in Hebrews 12:22, 23. The Reason for the Delay
Deferred in
Mercy.--The long night of gloom is trying, but the morning is deferred in
mercy, because if the Master should come, so many would be found unready. God's
unwillingness to have His people perish has been the reason of so long delay.
-- Testimonies, Vol. 2, p. 194. (1868) {Ev 694.2} The Work Might Have
Been Done.--Had the purpose of God been carried out by His people in giving
to the world the message of mercy, Christ would, ere this, have come to the
earth, and the saints would have received their welcome into the city of
God.-- Testimonies, vol. 6, p. 450. (1900) {Ev 694.3} I know that if the
people of God had preserved a living connection with Him, if they had obeyed
His Word, they would today be in the heavenly Canaan. --General Conference
Bulletin, March 30, 1903. {Ev 694.4} Satan Has Stolen a
March on Us.--If every watchman on the walls of Zion had given the trumpet a
certain sound, the world might ere this has heard the message of warning. But
the work is years behind. While men have slept, Satan has stolen a march upon
us.--Testimonies, vol. 9, p. 29. (1909)
695 {Ev 694.5} No Failure of God's
Promises.--The angels of God in their messages to men represent time as very
short. Thus it has always been presented to me. It is true that time has
continued longer than we expected in the early days of this message. Our
Saviour did not appear as soon as we hoped. But has the Word of the Lord
failed? Never! It should be remembered that the promises and the threatenings
of God are alike conditional. {Ev 695.1} God had committed to
His people a work to be accomplished on earth. The third angel's message was
to be given; the minds of believers were to be directed to the heavenly
sanctuary, where Christ had entered to make atonement for His people. The
Sabbath reform was to be carried forward. The breach in the law of God must
be made up. The message must be proclaimed with a loud voice, that all the
inhabitants of earth might receive the warning. The people of God must purify
their souls through obedience to the truth, and be prepared to stand without
fault before Him at His coming. {Ev 695.2} Had Adventists, after
the great disappointment in 1844, held fast their faith and followed on united
in the opening providence of God, receiving the message of the third angel
and in the power of the Holy Spirit proclaiming it to the world, they would
have seen the salvation of God, the Lord would have wrought mightily with
their efforts, the work would have been completed, and Christ would have come
ere this to receive His people to their reward. But in the period of doubt
and uncertainty that followed the disappointment, many of the advent
believers yielded their faith. . . . Thus the work was hindered, and the
world was left in darkness. Had the whole Adventist body united upon the
commandments of God and the faith of Jesus, how widely
different would have been our history! {Ev 695.3} Since the world was indeed brought into the church and married to
the church, it has become the cage of every unclean and hateful bird. It is
now just as impossible for that church to be the Nobel Ship that goes into
port heaven as it was for the apostate Jewish church after it apostatized. "The world must not be introduced into the church, and
married to the church, forming a bond of unity. Through this means the church
will become indeed corrupt, and as stated in Revelation, 'a cage of every
unclean and hateful bird.'" Testimonies
to Ministers, p. 265. Because SDA professors went to Babylon’s seminaries for PhD. Degrees,
and were there convinced that there is no sanctuary, thus, that voids the knowledge
that we must put away sin for Jesus to come and the church sinks into Laodicean
stupor for the lack of buying gold tried in the fire, faith that works by
love, working genuine repentance and putting sin from the life. Thus, in the
omega of apostasy, the Sanctuary is rendered GONE, the Atonement GONE, and
the ministering brethren don’t seem to understand what is transpiring: Sanctuary Gone Atonement Gone -- "In a representation which
passed before me, I saw a certain work being done by medical missionary
workers. Our ministering brethren were looking on, watching what was being
done, but they did not seem to understand. The foundation of our faith, which
was established by so much prayer, such earnest searching of the Scriptures,
was being taken down, pillar by pillar. Our faith was to have nothing to rest
upon--the sanctuary was gone, the atonement was gone." E.G. White, The Upward Look, 152. The above statement is what would
have occurred in the alpha of apostasy if it had not been met by Ellen White,
and what HAS occurred in the omega because “nothing will be allowed to stand
in its way,” 1SM 205, and it will wax stronger until Jesus comes, to wit: Wax stronger "One thing
it is certain is soon to be realized, the great apostasy, which is developing
and increasing and waxing stronger, and will continue to do so until the Lord
shall descend from heaven with a shout. We are to hold fast the first
principles of our denominated faith, and go forward from strength to
increased faith. Ever we are to keep the faith that has been substantiated by
the Holy Spirit of God from the earlier events of our experience until the present
time. We need now larger breadth, and deeper, more earnest, unwavering faith
in the leadings of the Holy Spirit. If we needed the manifest proof of the
Holy Spirit's power to confirm truth in the beginning, after the passing of
the time, we need to-day all the evidence in the confirmation of the truth,
when souls are departing from the faith and giving heed to seducing spirits
and doctrines of devils. There must not be any languishing of soul now."
(E.G. White, Special Testimonies,
Series B, No. 7, p. 57). That is how the church has committed unpardonable sin via
marriage to the world. Church becomes Laodicean 1852 (June 10) "Many who profess to
be looking for the speedy coming of Christ, are becoming conformed to this
world, and seek more earnestly the applause of those around them, than the
approbation of God. They are cold and formal, like the nominal church, that
they but a short time since separated from. The words addressed to the
Laodicean Church, describe their present condition perfectly....And unless
they heed the counsel of the 'faithful and True Witness,' and zealously
repent, and obtain 'gold tried in the fire,' 'white raiment,' and
'eye-salve,' he will spue them out of his mouth." E.G. White, Review and Herald, June 10, 1852, Vol.
1, p. 18, col. 2. Lukewarm Laodiceans are one thing. Cold, unpardonable sin apostates
are quite another. Ellen White clearly stated that in becoming and remaining
Laodicean, the church would be regarded with no more favor by God than the
fallen churches of Babylon: "If the church of God becomes LUKEWARM [LAODICEAN] it
does not stand in favor with God any more than do the churches that are
represented as having fallen and become the habitation of devils and the hold
of every foul spirit and the cage of every unclean and hateful bird. Those
who have had opportunities to hear and receive the truth, and who have united
with the Seventh-day Adventist church, calling themselves the commandment
keeping people of God, and yet possess no more vitality and consecration to
God than do the nominal churches, will receive of the plagues of God just as
verily as the churches who oppose the law of God." E.G. White, Letter 35, 1898. Did the church become Laodicean? Yes. Has the church remained
Laodicean? Yes. Why was the church separated from the world in 1844, and
churches that could not be distinguished from the world, Early Writings, p. 273? "It was to separate the church of Christ from the corrupting
influence of the world that the first angel's message was given. But with the
multitude, even of professed Christians, the ties which bound them to earth
were stronger than the attractions heavenward. They chose to listen to the
voice of worldly wisdom and turned away from the heart-searching message of
truth...When the churches spurned the counsel of God by rejecting the advent
message, the Lord rejected them. The first angel was followed by a
second...This message was understood by Adventist to be an announcement of
the moral fall of the churches in consequence of their rejection of the FIRST
MESSAGE." E.G. White, Story of
Redemption, p. 364. “The coming of Christ as our high priest to the most holy place,
for the cleansing of the sanctuary, brought to view in Daniel 8:14 the coming
of the Son of man to the Ancient of Days, as presented in Daniel 7:13 and the
coming of the Lord to His temple, foretold by Malachi, are descriptions of
the same event and this is also represented by the coming of the bridegroom
to the marriage, described by Christ in the parable of the ten virgins, of
Matthew 25. In the summer and autumn of 1844 the proclamation, "Behold,
the Bridegroom cometh," was given. The two classes represented by the
wise and foolish virgins were then developed--one class who looked with joy
to the Lord's appearing, and who had been diligently preparing to meet Him
another class that, influenced by fear and acting from impulse, had been
satisfied with a theory of the truth, but were destitute of the grace of God.
In the parable, when the bridegroom came, "they that were ready went
in with him to the marriage." The coming of the bridegroom, here
brought to view, takes place before the marriage. The marriage represents the
reception by Christ of His kingdom. The Holy City, the New Jerusalem, which
is the capital and representative of the kingdom, is called "the bride,
the Lamb's wife." Said the angel to John: "Come hither, I will show
thee the bride, the Lamb's wife." "He carried me away in the
spirit," says the prophet, "and showed me that great city, the holy
Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God." Revelation 21:9, 10.” Ron’s Commentary: How did those who were ready go in with Christ
to the marriage? They entered the Heavenly Sanctuary by faith, Early Writings, p. 260, and the
heavenly church of Hebrews 12:22, 23—by faith. Who was ready? Fifty
Philadelphians were ready on October 22, 1844. Before that date there were
upwards of 100,000 Mille rites. The foolish virgins are Laodiceans: "The state of the
Church represented by the foolish virgins is also spoken of as the Laodicean
state." E.G. White, Review and
Herald, 8/19/1890. “Clearly, then, the bride represents the Holy City, and the
virgins that go out to meet the bridegroom are a symbol of the church. In the
Revelation the people of God are said to be the guests at the marriage
supper. Revelation 19:9. If guests, they cannot be represented also as the
bride. Christ, as stated by the prophet Daniel, will receive from the Ancient
of Days in heaven, "dominion, and glory, and a kingdom" He will
receive the New Jerusalem, the capital of His kingdom, "prepared as a
bride adorned for her husband." Daniel 7:14 Revelation 21:2. Having
received the kingdom, He will come in His glory, as King of kings and Lord of
lords, for the redemption of His people, who are to "sit down with
Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob," at His table in His kingdom (Matthew
8:11 Luke 22:30), to partake of the marriage supper of the Lamb. The proclamation, "Behold, the Bridegroom cometh," in
the summer of 1844, led thousands to expect the immediate advent of the Lord.
At the appointed time the Bridegroom came, not to the earth, as the people
expected, but to the Ancient of Days in heaven, to the marriage, the
reception of His kingdom. "They that were ready went in with Him to the marriage:
and the door was shut." They were not to be present in person at the
marriage for it takes place in heaven, while they are upon the earth. The
followers of Christ are to "wait for their Lord, when He will return
from the wedding." Luke 12:36. But they are to understand His work, and
to follow Him by faith as He goes in before God. It is in this sense that
they are said to go in to the marriage. In the parable it was those that had oil in their vessels with
their lamps that went in to the marriage. Those who, with a knowledge of the
truth from the Scriptures, had also the Spirit and grace of God, and who, in
the night of their bitter trial, had patiently waited, searching the Bible
for clearer light--these saw the truth concerning the sanctuary in heaven and
the Saviour's change in ministration, and by faith they followed Him in His
work in the sanctuary above. And all who through the testimony of the
Scriptures accept the same truths, following Christ by faith as He enters in
before God to perform the last work of mediation, and at its close to receive
His kingdom--all these are represented as going in to the marriage.” The Great Controversy, pp. 426-7. IS
THE CONFERENCE THE VOICE OF GOD WHEN A FEW MEN ENACT MEASURES THAT CONSTITUTE
UNPARDONABLE SIN BY LEADING THE CHURCH INTO WORLDLINESS? Some Adventists believe the conference
will always be the voice of God. In
the early years Mrs. White described the opinions handed down by the
conference in session as "the voice of God." If we look at later statements by her, we
will find she changed her opinion over time as the conference changed and
became less obedient to God. If the
conference was a faithful organization, making Bible-based decisions, not
popularity-based decisions, not following the world, we would be able to
consider it to be the voice of God: “God has ordained that the
representatives of His church from all parts of the earth, when assembled in
a General Conference, shall have authority. The error that some are in danger
of committing is in giving to the mind and judgment of one man, OR A SMALL
GROUP OF MEN, the full measure of authority and influence that God has vested
in His church in the judgment and voice of the General Conference assembled
to plan for the prosperity and advancement of the world.
When this power, which God has placed in the church, is accredited
wholly to one man, and he is invested with the authority to be judgment for
other minds, then the true Bible order is changed. Satan's efforts upon such
a man's mind would be most subtle and sometimes well-nigh overpowering, for
the enemy would hope that through his mind he could affect many others. Let
us give to the highest organized authority in the church that which we are prone to give to one man or to a small group of
men. {9T 261.1} Power was given to a small group of men
in 1930, to adopt the Accreditation Standards of the world for our
educational institutions. Those standards led to marriage to the world’s
standards. In such case, the General Conference is no longer the voice of God
to the church. The same thing occurred with ecumenical involvement of the
church. It was a small group of leaders who consented to lead the church into
association, counsel and confederacy with Babylon via ecumenical linkage in
violation of Isaiah 8:9-14. I will prove in another document that this is
unpardonable sin. 1899 "Let those in America who
suppose the voice of the General Conference to be the voice of God, become
one with God before they utter their opinions." Testimony to Elder S.N. Haskell, 11-16-99 1899 "It has been some years since I
have considered the General Conference as the voice of God." GCD 2-24-99. 1901 "That these men should stand in
a sacred place to be the voice of God to the people as we once believed the
General Conference to be, that is past." GC Bulletin 1901, 25. 1901 "It is working upon wrong
principles that has brought the cause of God into its present
embarrassment. The people have lost
confidence in those who have the management of the work. Yet we hear that the voice of the
Conference is the Voice of God. Every
time I have heard this, I have thought that it was almost blasphemy....We
have reached the time when the work cannot advance while wrong principles are
cherished." Man. 37, 1901. 1901 "Year after year the same
acknowledgment was made, but the principles which exalt a people were not
woven into the work. God gave them
clear light as to what they should do, but they departed from that light and
it is a marvel to me that we stand in as much prosperity as we do
today." GC Bulletin, 1901, 23. 1909 "Every individual soul has a
responsibility before God, and he is not to be arbitrarily instructed by men
as to what he shall do, and what he shall say, and where he shall go. We are not to put confidence in the counsel
of men and assent to all they say unless we have evidence that they are under
the influence of the Spirit of God." RH 7-1-09. Conclusions: · Ellen White
said that if the church became married to the world, it would become the cage
of every unclean and hateful bird. It did become married to the world by
accepting its Accreditation Standards. A small group of GC leadership did
this without the consent of the people in General Conference Session. Ellen
White explicitly stated that when a few group of men act as the voice of God,
the church leadership is no longer the voice of God. · Ellen White
said that if the church became Laodicean it would be not be regarded by God
with any more favor than the fallen churches who had become the cage of every
unclean and hateful bird. It did become and remain Laodicean. · Marriage to
the world and learning in its seminaries, has led SDA theological professors
to teach that there is no ongoing Sanctuary message, and without the
Sanctuary, there is no on-going Sanctuary message, and there is thus no
ongoing Day of Atonement, and no ongoing work by Christ that is “just as
essential” to the plan of salvation as was His death on the cross. · By removing
the Sanctuary and the Atonement messages, the church has “removed God,” and
that was prophesied to be part of the omega in Selected Messages, Bk. 1, 205. That is unpardonable sin of the
most grievous nature. · Ellen White
said that the omega would surely develop and wax stronger until Jesus comes. · Wax
stronger "One thing it is certain is soon to be realized, the great
apostasy, which is developing and increasing and waxing stronger, and will
continue to do so until the Lord shall descend from heaven with a shout. We
are to hold fast the first principles of our denominated faith, and go
forward from strength to increased faith. Ever we are to keep the faith that
has been substantiated by the Holy Spirit of God from the earlier events of
our experience until the present time. We need now larger breadth, and
deeper, more earnest, unwavering faith in the leadings of the Holy Spirit. If
we needed the manifest proof of the Holy Spirit's power to confirm truth in
the beginning, after the passing of the time, we need to-day all the evidence
in the confirmation of the truth, when souls are departing from the faith and
giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils. There must not be
any languishing of soul now." (E.G. White, Special Testimonies, Series B, No. 7, p. 57). · Ellen White
said that NOTHING would be allowed to stand in the way of the New Movement.
She must have meant the omega, because she certainly stood in the way of the
alpha! · "The
enemy of souls has sought to bring in the supposition that a great
reformation was to take place among Seventh-day Adventists, and that this
reformation would consist in giving up the doctrines which stand as the
pillars of our faith, and engaging in a process of reorganization. Were this
reformation to take place, what would result? The principles of truth that
God in His wisdom has given to the remnant church, would be discarded. Our
religion would be changed. The fundamental principles that have sustained the
work for the last fifty years would be accounted as error. A NEW ORGANIZATION
would be established. Books of a NEW ORDER would be written. A system of
intellectual philosophy would be introduced. The founders of this system
would go into the cities, and do a wonderful work. The Sabbath of course,
would be lightly regarded, as also the God who created it. Nothing would be
allowed to stand in the way of the NEW MOVEMENT. The leaders would teach that
virtue is better than vice, but GOD BEING REMOVED, they would place their
dependence on human power, which, without God, is worthless. Their foundation
would be built on the sand, and storm and tempest would sweep away the
structure. Who has authority to begin such a [NEW] movement? We have our
Bibles, we have our experience, attested to by the miraculous working of the
Holy Spirit. We have a truth that admits of no compromise. Shall we not
repudiate everything that is not in harmony with this truth? E.G. White, Selected Messages, Vol. 1, 204, 205. · Nothing and nobody is going to turn the New Movement
around because it has committed 7 unpardonable sin which we shall see. End of Unpardonable Sin #1. |
