What SDA's are Holding as Requirements for Their Church to be in a Fallen State

Click to go to our Home Page


 

Dear Reader,

In this document we will expose another long held cherished error of professing Seventh-day Adventism.

The following is an exchange I had with Bryan Bissell on an SDA internet forum. What Bryan says is typical of the belief of most SDA’s regarding the issue as to what would constitute their church as being in a fallen state and to being a sister to fallen Babylon. Bryan and most SDA’s maintains that the church would have to discard its pillar doctrines and teach the erroneous doctrines of the fallen Babylonian churches in order to be in a fallen condition itself. This is a total contradiction of God and the Spirit of Prophecy, which I prove beyond any particle of a doubt. Ron Beaulieu

correction...I should say twice it was done or will be done..once in Jesus time and in the coming out of Babylon command. There is no command or prophecy in the Bible of another coming out beyond that.  EGW states that it might be possible..but the Sabbath must be rejected/treated lightly and several other major pillars removed..things which have just not happened.

Forum,

 

The post below depicts just how ignorant SDA's can be. Bryan and most SDA’s have been teaching for years that the church would have to reject all its pillar doctrines and replace them with the erroneous doctrines of Babylon in order for it to fall. That is proven to be a colossal lie of lies in my post below. I prove it beyond any particle of a doubt!

The Sabbath has been treated lightly by the GC making an agreement with the WCC and its subsidiaries not to agitate the Sabbath issue. The Three angel's messages have been betrayed by the GC making similar agreement not to agitate the issue of Rome being the Beast power. Vance Ferrell says that he has proof of this. Get your church to sue him for his proof. They can then shut down his multi-million dollar book and independent ministry operation. He has thousands upon thousands who pay him tithe and offerings.

 

You are DEAD WRONG Bryan in saying that all the pillars would have to be removed! All the pillars do not have to be removed in order for any church to fall. It merely has to come into alliance with fallen Babylon. I merely has to remain Laodicean as the following statement testifies:

 

Bryan Bissell, you and all SDA’s who teach as you do on this issue are contradicting both God and Ellen White. God says that He will spew Laodicea out if she does not repent of her Laodiceanism, lukewarmness. That is all it takes friend! You and most SDA’s are saying that it would take the refutation of every pillar doctrine, PLUS THE ADOPTION OF THE DOCTRINES OF BABYLON. YOU BOTH ARE DEAD WRONG! 

 

"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.

Bryan,

 

My point EXACTLY! Christ and the disciples worshipping in homes did not establish a new church. It preserved the church Christ intended in the first place! Jesus "gathered out" of the apostate church. When SDA's gathered out of the fallen churches in 1844, they were no longer members of those churches worshipping at home! 

 

"Christ was a protestant.. .The Reformers date back to Christ and the apostles. They came out and separated themselves from a religion of forms and ceremonies. Luther and his followers did not invent the reformed religion. They simply accepted it as presented by Christ and the apostles." E.G. White, Review and Herald, vol. 2, 48, col. 2.

 

Paul left

 

"And as they persisted in their rejection of the gospel the apostle (Paul) went into the synagogue, and spake boldly for the space for three months, disputing and persuading the things concerning the kingdom of God. But when divers were hardened, and believed not, but spake evil of that way before the multitude, he departed from them, and separated the disciples, disputing daily in the school of one Tyrannus." Acts, 19:8, 9.

 

"Fearing that the faith of the believers would be endangered by continued association with these opposers of the truth, Paul separated from them, and gathered the disciples into a distinct body." E.G. White, Acts of the Apostles, p. 286.

 

 "The recreant priests added licentiousness to the dark catalogue of their crimes yet they still polluted by their presence the tabernacle of the Lord, and, laden with sin, dared to come into the presence of a holy God. As the men of Israel witnessed the corrupt course of the priests, they thought it safer for their families not to come up to the appointed place of worship. Many went from Shiloh with their peace disturbed, their indignation aroused, until they at last determined to offer their sacrifices themselves, concluding that this would be fully as acceptable to God, as to sanction in any manner the abominations practiced in the Sanctuary." E.G. White, The Signs of the Times, vol. 1, p. 264, col. 3, December 1, 1881.

Ron responds: I know that the following message to the seventh church, Laodicea, does not mean that it will have to forsake all its pillar doctrines and adopt ALL THE DOCTRINES OF BABYLON in order to fall and be spewed out! The sharpening of the two-edged sword is a-hastening on these days!

 

14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;

15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.

16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:

18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.

19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.

22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

"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.

 

We know that the foolish virgins are not saved. The SDA church is proud that it is Laodicean and believes that it, as the last and seventh church will go through to the kingdom. This is indeed a cherished error.

 

"The church is in the Laodicean state. The presence of God is not in her midst." E.G. White, Notebook Leaflets, p. 99, 1898.

 

"To the end of time, the presence of the Spirit is to abide with the true church." E.G. White, Acts of the Apostles, p. 55.

 

“From the beginning, faithful souls have constituted the church on earth.  In every age the Lord has had His watchmen, who have borne a faithful testimony to the generation in which they lived.  These sentinels gave the message of warning; and when they were called to lay off their armor, others took up the work.  God brought these witnesses into covenant relation with Himself, uniting the church on earth with the church in heaven.  He has sent forth His angels to minister to His church, and the gates of hell have not been able to prevail against His people.”  E.G. White, The Acts of the Apostles, p. 12. 

 

The SDA church has progressed from a lukewarm Laodicean state to a cold, apostate stance by forming a new movement that has removed God (E.G. White, Selected Messages, Bk. 1, 204-5). Ellen White says in the same reference that “nothing would be allowed to stand in the way of the new movement.” She says in another reference that the omega of apostasy would surely develop and wax stronger until Jesus comes. Thus, the professing SDA church has committed unpardonable sin and will continue in its cold apostate state.

 

Ellen White also says that ALL the other professing Christian churches are Laodicean as well. The final Loud Cry of Matthew 25, is a call out of all fallen churches. Only those who obey that call will be saved. God said through the Scriptures and Ellen White that if the church remained Laodicean, let alone cold apostate, that this would be the only requirement for it to be spewed out. Many SDA’s are adding to those words. Many professing Christians of all faiths are adding to those words in order to comfort themselves in lukewarm, rich increased with goods comfort.

 

God bless,

 

Ron
