Does
the Professing SDA Church Teach All the Necessary Truth?
Mat 23:15 Woe
unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made,
ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.
Mat 23:21 And
whoso shall swear by the temple, sweareth by it, and
by him that dwelleth therein.
Mat 23:22 And
he that shall swear by heaven, sweareth by the throne
of God, and by him that sitteth thereon.
Zec 2:7 Deliver thyself, O Zion, that dwellest with the daughter of
Babylon.
Zec 2:8 For thus saith
the LORD of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me unto the nations which
spoiled you: for he that toucheth you toucheth the
apple of his eye.
Walter Veith
has stated that the church has all the necessary teachings and doctrines
required for salvation. If the SDA church is teaching a spurious doctrine that
sweeps away the entire Christian economy, IT IS NOT TEACHING ALL THE TRUTH THAT
IS NECESSARY FOR SALVATION. It is the objective of this document to prove that
the new movement, new organization SDA “church,” is teaching such a doctrine.
Walter Veith also refers to the SDA church as the
apple of God’s eye. God’s Word says that
Zion is the apple of His eye. Zion is the bride, the 144,000 Isaiah 62:1-5.
Ellen White says that the church members are GUESTS at the wedding, and if
GUESTS, they cannot also be the bride. The Great Controversy, pp. 426, 427. Also, in Christ’s Object Lessons, pp. 405, 406, it is the voice of the bride
(Zion/Sion) that awakens the 10 virgins. So Walter Veith
is totally out of place referring to the SDA new movement, new organization
“church” that has “removed God,” (1SM 204-205) as the apple of God’s eye, as
are all the leaders of the new movement, new organization “church.” I say
“church” because only the presence of God can constitute a church:
"God
has a church. It is not the great cathedral, (or the super mega church),
neither is it the national establishment, neither is it the various
denominations; it is the people who love God and keep His commandments. 'Where
two or three are gathered together in My name, there am I in the midst of
them.' Where Christ is even among the humble few, THIS IS CHRIST'S CHURCH, for the presence of the High
and Holy One who inhabiteth eternity can alone constitute a church." The Upward Look, p.
315.
During the night hours of February 8,
2017, the Lord confirmed to me once again how and why the Trinity Doctrine
sweeps away the entire Christian economy and how important it is for His people
to be apprised of this serious issue. The key to understanding this horror of
all abominations is the realization that even if the church should teach some truth, it is leading souls
to hell the world over because of the implications of the Trinity Doctrine that
result in the Sanctuary GONE, the Atonement GONE, while the ministering
brethren look on but don’t seem to understand what they have done.
The upshot of the omega heresy committed
by the professing SDA church, is that the spiritualistic theories regarding the
personality of God [the Godhead], followed to their logical conclusion, sweep
away the whole Christian economy, NO MATTER WHAT THE CHURCH PROFESSES TO
BELIEVE. This serious condition of the church in the omega heresy, is the
result of Satan’s state of the art deception in getting SDA leaders to commit
unpardonable apostasy because of their lack of knowledge, while there is
absolutely no excuse for any such lack, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE LACK INVOLVES A
REJECTION OF PAST KNOWLEDGE. It is the rejection of knowledge that is unpardonable.
Hos 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack
of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no
priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget
thy children.
Seventh-day Adventists were especially
blessed of God by possessing the gift of prophecy in their midst’s. It is
because of rejection of that gift that vital knowledge regarding the
personality of God and the Godhead was ignored and disobeyed by SDA leaders in
1980. This is critical beyond words, so
I repeat: There was absolutely no excuse on the part of GC leaders and laity in
1980, for the ignorance that led them to adopt the CENTRAL DOCTRINE OF ROME,
that in essence sweeps away the entire Christian economy! But this is precisely
what transpired.
The Trinity Doctrine is a spiritualistic
theory about the personality of God and Christ, formed by so-called ancient
“church fathers.” A revelation of the truth about their error makes them appear
as very foolish virgin “christians,” who were nigh totally void of spiritual
discernment. How so? It should have been a very blatant, obvious deduction to
make that if there were three co-equal, co-eternal persons to the Godhead, as
the Trinity Doctrine teaches, there would have to be four after God came in the
likeness of sinful flesh being combined with humanity forever. No element of
humanity existed amongst the Godhead prior to the Incarnation. After the
Incarnation, a new member to the Godhead accrued—the God/Man, fully God and
fully human.
There were only TWO members to the
Godhead before the Incarnation, the Father and His Son. After Christ’s victory
on the Cross, He was ADOPTED into the Godhead in heaven:
"By His life and His death, Christ has achieved even more than recovery from the ruin wrought through sin. It was Satan's purpose to bring about an eternal separation between God and man but in Christ we become more closely united to God than if we had never fallen. In taking our nature, the Saviour has bound himself to humanity by a tie that is never to be broken. Through the eternal ages He is linked with us. 'God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son.' [John 3:16]. He gave Him not only to bear our sins, and to die as our sacrifice He gave Him to the fallen race. To assure us of His immutable counsel of peace, God gave His only Begotten Son to become one of the human family forever to retain His human nature. This is the pledge that God will fulfill His word. 'Unto us a child is born unto us a son is given and the government shall be upon His shoulder.' God has adopted human nature in the person of His Son, and has carried the same into the highest heaven. It is the 'Son of man' who shares the throne of the universe. It is the 'Son of man' whose name shall be called, 'Wonderful, Counselor, the mighty God, the everlasting Father, the prince of Peace.' [Isa. 9:6]. The I Am is the Daysman between God and humanity, laying His hand upon both. HE who is 'holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners,' is not ashamed to call us brethren. [Heb. 7:26 2:11.] In Christ the family of earth and the family of heaven are bound together. Christ glorified is our brother. Heaven is enshrined in humanity, and humanity is enfolded in the bosom of Infinite love." The Desire of Ages, 25.
There was no “Daysman” between God and
humanity BEFORE the Incarnation. This involves a new element—a different
PERSON, ANOTHER PERSON accruing to the Godhead. Does the Bible support this
fact? Yes it does. Does the Spirit of Prophecy support this fact? Yes indeed:
Jesus Speaking With Nocodemus
While He (Jesus) was on Earth
"And
no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the
Son of man which is in heaven." John 3:13
Jesus
is telling Nicodemus that the Son of Man is in heaven, while He was speaking to
Nicodemus personally while on earth. There was another person in heaven. Now
from Ellen White:
"Cumbered with humanity
Christ could not be in every place personally, therefore it was altogether for
their advantage that He should leave them to go to His Father and send the Holy
Spirit to be His successor on earth. The
Holy Spirit is Himself divested of the
personality of humanity and independent thereof. He would represent Himself as present in all places by
His Holy Spirit.” E.G. White, (Manuscript
Releases Volume 14 (No’s 1081-1135) MR No.1084.
Clearly, the personality of
Christ’s humanity was an independent PERSON from His Holy Spirit HIMSELF. It
was Christ’s Holy Spirit HIMSELF that was in heaven when Jesus told Nicodemus
that the Son of Man was in heaven, whilst He (Jesus) was speaking face to face
with Nicodemus when He was on earth. It is very clear from the following
statement that the Holy Spirit is the soul of Christ’s DIVINE NATURE, which is
independent of His human nature PERSONality”
"Christ declared that after his
ascension, he would send to his church, as his crowning gift, the Comforter,
who was to take his place. This Comforter is the Holy Spirit,--the soul of his
life, the efficacy of his church, the light and life of the world. With his
Spirit Christ sends a reconciling influence and a power that takes away sin.
In the gift of the Spirit, Jesus gave to
man the highest good that heaven could bestow....
The Spirit was given as a regenerating
agency, and without this the sacrifice of Christ would have been of no
avail....
It is by the Spirit that the heart is
made pure. Through the Spirit the believer becomes a partaker of the divine nature.
Christ has given his Spirit as a divine power to overcome all hereditary and
cultivated tendencies to evil, and to impress his own character upon the
church." E.G. White, Review and Herald Articles, May 19, 1904, vol. 5, p.
42.
The Incarnation produced another
INEPENDENT PERSON to the Godhead—the humanity of the Son of Man. This is when
the Godhead became THREE PERSONS. What are the serious implications? To teach,
as does the Trinity Doctrine, that there were three persons eternally, totally
voids the heavenly Sanctuary/Atonement whereby a THIRD PERSON was added to the
Godhead at the Incarnation. Thus, as in the Alpha heresy, the Sanctuary is
rendered as GONE! The Atonement is rendered as GONE! How? Why? By the teaching
that there were three co-eternal persons ALREADY, BEFORE the Incarnation act
that produced a THIRD PERSON, which act was the Incarnation Sanctuary/Atonement
sacrifice.
"The
incarnation of Christ, typified in the
sacrificial service of Israel, and symbolized in all their devotions,
is a glorious mystery. In His only begotten Son, God was made manifest to the
world. The Son of God laid aside His glory, and clothed Himself with humanity.
He became the meek and lowly Jesus. For the sake of sinful men He became poor,
that they through His poverty might be made rich." {BEcho, February 20,
1899 par. 1}
“As the worker studies the life of
Christ, and the character of His mission is dwelt upon, each fresh search will
reveal something more deeply interesting than has yet been unfolded. The subject
is inexhaustible. The study of the incarnation of Christ, His atoning sacrifice
and mediatorial work, will employ the mind of the diligent student as long as
time shall last.”--Gospel Workers, p.
251. {7ABC 444.1}
Incarnation "Dwell More on the Incarnation
and Atonement.--If Christ is all and in all to every one of us, why are not His
Incarnation and His atoning sacrifice dwelt upon more in the churches? Why are
not hearts and tongues employed in the Redeemer's praise? This will be the
employment of the powers of the redeemed through the ceaseless ages of
eternity." E.G. White, Selected
Messages, Book 3, p. 187.
"No one can search the Scriptures
in the spirit of Christ without being rewarded. When man is willing to be
instructed as a little child, when he submits wholly to God, he will find the
truth in His word. If men would be obedient, they would understand the plan of
God's government. The heavenly world would open its chambers of grace and glory
for exploration. Human beings would be altogether different from what they now
are, for by exploring the mines of truth men would be ennobled. The mystery of redemption, THE INCARNATION OF
CHRIST, His ATONING SACRIFICE, would not be as they are now, vague in our minds.
They would be not only better understood, but altogether more highly
appreciated." E.G. White, Christ's Object Lessons, p. 114. Vol.
7a, p. 441.
"He (Christ) suffered the death
which was ours, that we might receive the life which WAS His." Desire of Ages, p. 25 1 Cor. 11:24-265,
cf. John 6:53, 54, Titus 3:5, 6.
“The incarnation of Christ was an act of
self-sacrifice; His life was one of continual self-denial. The highest glory of
the love of God to man was manifested in the sacrifice of His only-begotten
Son, who was the express image of His person. This is the great mystery of
godliness. It is the privilege and the duty of every professed follower of
Christ to have the mind of Christ. Without self-denial and cross bearing we
cannot be His disciples.” {2SM 185.2}
A similar transgression occurred in the
alpha heresy. Such illustrious leaders as John Harvey Kellogg, Alonzo T. Jones,
and E. J. Waggoner, were unnecessarily deceived by Satan into believing
Kellogg’s theory
Walter Veith claims that the professing
SDA church is the apple of God’s eye and that all the truth by way of necessary
doctrines are still found within the church no matter what it has done or will
do—no matter how bad it gets by way of apostasy. That is a high claim to make
considering that Ellen White prophesied that God would be removed from the SDA
church that would form a new movement, new organization, that would remove
doctrines that stand as THE pillars of our faith. Any awake Adventist knows
that every specification of the following statement has been true since 1980.
Why do I say 1980? Because it was at the
World General Conference Session in that year that the church voted to adopt
the Trinity Doctrine, which removes the Sanctuary truth and the very Atonement
sacrifice of Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour. That satanic doctrine which
Rome boasts as its central doctrine, removes the entire Christian economy.
"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, Bk. 1, 204, 205.
Godhead as a pillar doctrine
--
Personality of God and of Christ Landmarks: "Those who seek to remove the
old landmarks are not holding
fast they are not remembering how they have received and heard. Those who try
to bring in theories that would remove the pillars
of our faith concerning the
sanctuary or concerning the personality of God or of Christ, are working as
blind men. They are seeking to bring in uncertainties and to set the
people of God adrift without an anchor." {MR760 9.5}
"You
are not definitely clear on the personality of God, which is everything to us
as a people. You
have virtually destroyed the Lord God Himself." EGW letter 300 1903. [Addressed to Dr.
Kellogg]. SDA leaders still do not understand how Kellogg’s teachings did away
with the Sanctuary and the Atonement. Ask them!
The following pillar, landmark SDA
doctrines are thus totally annulled by the Trinity Doctrine, which effectually
sweeps away the entire Christian economy:
· The Testator’s Everlasting Covenant. Heb. 9:16, 17.
· The Heavenly Sanctuary Service where the Atonement
first began.
· The Heavenly Atonement which first took place in the
Heavenly Sanctuary.
· The Investigative Judgment that is on-going after the
Atonement.
· The Human Nature of Christ—God coming in the likeness
of sinful flesh. Ellen White said the humanity of Christ means everything to
us.
· The Everlasting Gospel made possible by the
Incarnation of the Son of God.
· The promise of eternal life to all who believe and buy
gold tried in the fire—faith that works by love for Christ and reception of His
Holy Spirit Grace as pardon and power for obedience. Rom. 1:5.
Alpha
and Omega Heresy: "I have been instructed by the heavenly messenger
that some of the reasoning in the book Living Temple is unsound, and
that this reasoning would lead astray the minds of those who are not thoroughly
established on the foundation principles of present truth. It introduces that
which is nought but speculation in regard to the personality of God and where
His presence is [the Godhead]. No one on this earth has a right to speculate on
this question. The more fanciful theories are discussed, the less men will know
of God and of the truth that sanctifies the soul." E.G. White, Selected
Messages, Bk. 1. 1, 201-202.
“The
sacrifice of Christ as an atonement for sin is the great truth around which all other truths cluster.
In order to be rightly understood and appreciated, every truth in the word of
God, from Genesis to Revelation, must be studied in the light that streams from
the cross of Calvary. I present before you the great, grand monument of mercy
and regeneration, salvation and redemption,--the Son of God uplifted on the cross.
This is to be the foundation of every discourse given by our ministers.” Gospel Workers, 315.
"The spiritualistic theories regarding the
personality of God [the Godhead], followed to their logical conclusion, sweep
away the whole Christian economy. They estimate as nothing the light that
Christ came from heaven to give John to give to His people. They teach that the
scenes just before us are not of sufficient importance to be given special
attention. They make of no effect the truth of heavenly origin, and rob the
people of God of their past experience, giving them instead a false
science." E.G. White, Selected Messages, Bk.1, p. 204.
If the atonement is the great truth
AROUND WHICH ALL OTHER TRUTHS CLUSTER, a misapplication of this truth sweeps
away the entire Christian economy.
"The darkness rolled
away from the Saviour and from the Cross. Christ bowed His head and died. In His Incarnation He had reached the prescribed limit as
a sacrifice, but not as a redeemer." E.G. White Manuscript Releases Volume
Twelve, p. 409.
The Parallel Between the Alpha and Omega Heresies
According to the Everlasting Covenant
(The Testator’s Will and Testament—Covenant), the Testator must die to meet the
penalty of the wages of sin which are eternal death. There are some very
important considerations here:
· Divinity Cannot die as we reckon death.
· Ellen White said that Divinity did not die on the
cross.
· The Testator was the Divinity of the Son of God.
Something about the Testator must die.
· The humanity of Christ was not present at the
establishment of the Testator’s Everlasting Covenant.
· The Testator Divine Nature of Christ, His Holy Spirit
Himself, “died” FOREVER AFTER, to His first estate of being DIVINE ONLY, HOLY
SPIRIT ONLY, to become independently combined with humanity forever.
· The humanity of Christ could not atone for sin.
· In His INCARNATION ALONE, the Testator reached the
prescribed limit as a sacrifice. The ONLY prescribed limit in the Testator’s
Covenant is “death.” Something about the Incarnation constituted DEATH, and
that “something” was His death to being DIVINE ONLY, AND TO BECOME HUMAN
FOREVER.
THE PARALLEL FACTORS:
· The Alpha involved spurious theories relative to the
personality of Christ and God and their shared ONE ETERNAL HOLY SPIRIT, which
is what constitutes them as ONE GOD.
· The Omega involves spurious theories relative to the
personality of Christ and God.
· The Alpha heresy provided the gift of the Holy Spirit
as residing in everyone WITHOUT THE INCARNATION SACRIFICE.
· The Omega heresy voids the need of the
Sanctuary/Atonement Incarnation sacrifice to produce a THIRD PERSON to the
Godhead, teaching that a THIRD PERSON was already part of the Godhead for
eternity.
· It is the blasphemy of all blasphemies to teach that
three persons accrued to the Godhead WITHOUT THE INCARNATION SACRIFICE. Thus,
the entire Christian economy is swept away.
· In both the Alpha and Omega heresies, the
Sanctuary/Atonement is rendered as GONE.
· The ministering brethren in the times of both—the
Alpha and Omega, did not understand the implications of what they were
witnessing/doing.
Heb 9:16 For where a testament is, there
must also of necessity be the death of the testator.
Heb 9:17 For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is
of no strength at all while the testator liveth.
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
Alpha heresy presented by John H. Kellogg, taught that the Holy Spirit of God
was in every created thing. That was/is pantheism. All the ministering brethren
were looking on, watching what was being done, but they did not possess the
spiritual discernment to understand the implications of Kellogg’s spurious
teaching on the presence and personality of the Godhead. The serious
implications were/are:
· 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."
"A
new order of things has COME INTO the ministry. There is a desire to pattern
after other churches and simplicity and humility are almost unknown. The young
ministers seek to be original, and to introduce new ideas and new plans for
labor. Some open revival meetings, and by this means call large numbers into
the church. But when the excitement is over, where are the converted ones?
Repentance and confession of sin are not seen. The sinner is entreated to
believe in Christ and accept Him, without regard to his past life of sin and
rebellion. The heart is not broken. There is no contrition of soul. The
supposed converted ones have not fallen upon the Rock, Christ Jesus." E.G.
White, Selected Messages, vol. 2, pp. 18, 19.
The above
is also an example of Calvinism--believing one is chosen and destined to be
saved without being truly converted; without true repentance and confession of
sin, without regard to his past life of sin and rebellion, without “a broken on
the Rock” heart and contrition of soul. This is a form of Calvinistic saved by
grace only, regardless of any proper choice on the part of the sinner
(predestination).
Conclusions
· The Trinity Doctrine of and by
itself is sufficient to “remove God” from the new movement, new organization.
· When SDA leaders and/or pseudo
independent ministries like Walter Veith’s cross land and sea to make converts
to a church that is teaching antichrist error on the most fundamental pillar,
landmark doctrine of Christianity, they are making them twice the child of
hell.
· There is no excuse for the
“bright lights” of the church not to discern the truth about the Godhead.
· The Trinity Doctrine is the
worst abomination for which we are to sigh and cry because it involves the
“highest good, crowning gift that heaven can bestow”—the gift of the Divine
Nature Holy Spirit of the Son of God, by which we receive power to overcome and
eternal life.
· It is thus a most devious and
deceptive teaching by Walter Veith that the church is teaching all the true
doctrines, when the correct teaching of the most fundamental pillar, landmark
doctrines is absent from the new movement SDA church, and with it the Sanctuary
truth, the truth about the human nature of Christ, the Atonement and in effect
the entire Christian economy.
· Even if the SDA apostate new
movement does mix some truth with error, as most fallen churches do, it will
still lead its converts to hell via its abominable, antichrist Trinity
Doctrine, and corporate responsibility for all its other abominations.
· An omega of heresies new
movement, new organization that has removed God and pillar, landmark doctrines,
is surely not the apple of God’s eye. Many professing Seventh-day Adventists
are in for a very disappointing surprise. Beware!
