Is God "Dependent" Upon the Apostate SDA Church to Gift the Final Loud Cry Message to the World

Jer 7:4 Trust ye not in lying words, saying, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, [are] these.

Dear Reader,

God’s Promises to the Jews--Promises the Jews misinterpreted: "The Jews had deceived themselves by misinterpreting the words of the Lord through his prophets, of his eternal favor to his people Israel.

'Thus saith the Lord, which giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar the Lord of hosts is his name: If those ordinances depart from before me, saith the Lord, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me forever. Thus saith the Lord: If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done, saith the Lord.' Jer. 31:35-37.

These words the Jews applied to themselves. And because God had shown them so great favor and mercy, they flattered themselves that, notwithstanding their sins and iniquities, he would still retain them as his favored people, and shower especial blessings upon them. They misapplied the words of Jeremiah and depended for their salvation upon being called the [chosen] children of Abraham. If they had indeed been worthy of the name of Abraham's children, they would have followed the righteous example of their father Abraham, and would have done the works of Abraham.

This has been the danger of the people of God in all ages and especially is this the danger of those living near the close of time. . . .

God would in no wise excuse sin in a people who had been enlightened, even if he had, in their days of faithfulness and purity, loved them, and given them especial promises. These promises and blessings were always upon condition of obedience upon their part.

The Lord pronounced, by the mouth of Moses, blessings upon the obedient, and curses upon the disobedient." E. G. White, Review and Herald, Vol. 1, 123.

With the example of the Jews, God’s first “chosen” people given to us in Holy Writ, and such a complete history as to what happened to them, it is so ironic that God’s people today have assumed the same attitude that no matter what they do, they are the temple of the Lord.  Many Jews still believe that lie to this day.

A person by the name of Anonymous (I will keep the name in confidence), has asked a most apropos and timely question that attests to a common belief among professing Seventh-day Adventists today, that sounds all too familiarly like the Jews of old. Here is that question:

Subject: [SDAIssues] Fwd: oh how

When do you know, that what you do supposedly for God, is instead helping Satan instead of God?  Do you ask yourself how is God being helped by my words and actions?
O how Satan would rejoice if he could succeed in his efforts to get in among his people, and disorganize the work at a time when thorough organization is essential, and will be the greatest power to keep out spurious uprisings, and to refute claims not endorsed by the word of God! (GW 487).

Ron responds:  Dear Anonymous,

I know what God’s Word says concerning apostasy of His people, no matter how high and sacred their position might have been.  I know the history of His first “chosen” people, recorded in Holy Writ for an example to all.  I know God’s dealings with them when they apostatized.  I recognize Jeremiah 11:9-15, as constituting His line in the sand. 

In Jeremiah 11:9-15, the Jews conspired with God’s enemies.  A synonym of conspired is confederate.  They confederated with God’s enemies and thereby returned to the iniquities of their forefathers.

It is abundantly and profoundly clear to some professing Seventh-day Adventists, including myself, that the SDA church has, since the late 1950’s and early 1960’s, conspired and confederated with God’s enemies.  In the Adventist Review, the flagship paper of the church, it was admitted I the latter 1980’s that the church had been a MEMBER of the Council of Free Churches in Hungary.  This came to light only because upwards of fifteen-hundred Hungarians protested MEMBERSHIP in that ecumenical counsel, which is still a MEMBER of the World Council of Churches. 

The SDA General Conference president at the time, Neal C. Wilson, went to Hungary, and told the SDA’s there, in substance, that it might have been better if the church had not joined that counsel, but since it had, they would just have to make the best of it. On Sabbath mornings, those 1500 members were barred from entrance to their churches by strong arm body guards placed at all entrances.  This is what happens to any who stand for the truth in the now apostate SDA church.  If you protested sufficiently, Anonymous, the same thing would happen to you.

I know that God will not use an apostate church joined to Babylon to give the final message.  Ellen White said that God will choose others.  I believe her.  You and most other SDA's apparently do not believe her.  Also, God says that if His people fail in their commission, the very stones will cry out the final truth. I believe Him.  Apparently you, Anonymous, and other SDA's do not believe God.  I do. 

Luk 19:40 And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.  

 "The Lord Jesus will always have a chosen people to serve Him. When the Jewish people rejected Christ, the Prince of life. He took from them the kingdom of God and gave it unto the Gentiles. God will continue to work on this principle with every branch of His work. When a church proves unfaithful to the work of the Lord, whatever their position may be, however high and sacred their calling, the Lord can no longer work with them. Others are then chosen to bear important responsibilities. But, if these in turn do not purify their lives from every wrong action, if they do not establish pure and holy principles in all their borders, then the Lord will grievously afflict and humble them and, unless they repent, will remove them from their place and make them a reproach.

God is not 'worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing' (Acts 17:25). E. G. White, The Upward Look, 131.  

By saying that God would continue to work on this principle with every branch of His work, Ellen White makes it clear what God would do if the SDA church proved unfaithful to the work of the Lord, as it so woefully has. 

"He will take his Holy Spirit from the church and give it to OTHERS who will appreciate it." E. G. White, Review and Herald, July 16, 1895,  Vol. 3, 272.

 

"Many will stand in our pulpits with the torch of false prophecy in their hands, kindled from the hellish torch of Satan. If doubts and unbelief are cherished, the faithful ministers will be removed from the people who think they know so much. 'If thou hadst known,' said Christ, 'even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes." E.G. White, Testimonies to Ministers, pp. 409, 410.

 

God will use the faithful ministers and the 144,000, to give the final Loud Cry Message of Warning to the world, with the aid of the Holy Spirit.  Is this possible?  God did it with the 12 and 70 in His day, to the then known world, and He can do as He has said at the end-time!  He can do all things.  Some do not believe that.  They believe that He needs them and their apostate church no matter what they or the church does by way of gross apostasy.

Apostate, SDA Laodiceans, believe that God's needs them to give the final message to the world.  God and Ellen White both say that God is not worshipped with men's hands, as though He needed anything."  I believe them both.  All apostate SDA's don't believe God or Ellen White on this. 

Acts 17:24  God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;

 
Acts 17:25  Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;

"We must as a people arouse and cleanse the camp of Israel. Licentiousness, unlawful intimacy, and unholy practices are coming in among us in a large degree...We are in danger of becoming a sister to fallen Babylon, of allowing our churches to become corrupted and filled with every foul spirit, a cage for every unclean and hateful bird, and will we be clear unless we make decided movements to cure the existing evil? E. G. White, Manuscript Releases No. 449, pp. 17, 18.

 

"If we turn from the testimony of God's word, and accept false doctrines [Calvinism] because our fathers taught them, we fall under the condemnation pronounced upon Babylon we are drinking of the wine of her abominations." E. G White, The 1884 Great Controversy entitled Spirit of Prophecy, Vol. 4, 347, not to be confused with Testimonies, Vol. 4. The four volume Spirit of Prophecy series, can still be special ordered through any Adventist Book Store.

 

"It is now the duty of God's commandment--keeping people to watch and pray, to search the Scriptures diligently, to hide the Word of God in the heart, lest they sin against Him in idolatrous thoughts and debasing practices, and the church of God become demoralized like the fallen churches whom prophecy represents as being filled with every unclean and hateful bird." E. G. White, Review and Herald, May 17, 1887.

 

"In the balances of the sanctuary the Seventh-day Adventist church is to be weighed. She will be judged by the privileges and advantages that she has had. . . .I saw our Instructor pointing to the garments of so-called righteousness. Stripping them of, He laid bare he defilement beneath. Then He said to me: 'Can you not see how they have pretentiously covered up their defilement and rottenness of character? How is the faithful city become an harlot?" E. G. White, Testimonies, Vol. 8, pp. 247-250.

 

"Thorns sprung up.--The thorns made it impossible for the wheat to mature (see Luke 8:4). In the same way secular interests prevent the fruits of the Spirit (Gal. 5:22, 23) from reaching maturity. Religion is relegated to the subordinate position of being only one interest among many. For lack of cultivation it withers and eventually dies. That which the thorny-ground hearers lack is a moral transformation (Christ's Object Lessons, p. 50). To them, justification is the sum and substance of religion, and they fail to realize that the Christian life consists essentially in the process known as sanctification--the process by which evil traits and tendencies are replaced by the perfect life-pattern of Jesus Christ."  SDA Bible Commentary,  Vol. 5, 405.

 

"It is IMPOSSIBLE for you to unite with those who are corrupt, and still remain pure. (II Corinthians 6:14-15 quoted). God and Christ and the heavenly host would have men know that if he unites with the corrupt he will become corrupt." E. G. White, Review and Herald, Vol. 4, p. 137.

 

"The thorns of sin will grow in any soil they need no cultivation but grace must be carefully cultivated. The briers and thorns are always ready to spring up, and the work of purification must advance continually....

The thorns that have been cut off but not uprooted grow space, until the soul [and/or the church] is overspread with them." E. G. White,  Christ's Object Lessons, 50.

 

The same principle that is applied to the personal life in the statement above, according to God, in Luke 8:4, and the SDA Bible Commentary, also applies to the church in general.  If the thorns of open sin are permitted to grow, they choke out the wheat and make it IMPOSSIBLE for the wheat to mature.  Is this supported by the SDA Bible Commentary writers, when it was published in 1957, just before the apostasy corruption took place?  Yes indeed:

 

"Thorns sprung up.--The thorns made it impossible for the wheat to mature (see Luke 8:4). In the same way secular interests prevent the fruits of the Spirit (Gal. 5:22, 23) from reaching maturity. Religion is relegated to the subordinate position of being only one interest among many. For lack of cultivation it withers and eventually dies. That which the thorny-ground hearers lack is a moral transformation (Christ's Object Lessons, p. 50). To them, justification is the sum and substance of religion, and they fail to realize that the Christian life consists essentially in the process known as sanctification--the process by which evil traits and tendencies are replaced by the perfect life-pattern of Jesus Christ."  SDA Bible Commentary, Vol. 5, 405.

 

"It is IMPOSSIBLE for you to unite with those who are corrupt, and still remain pure. (II Corinthians 6:14-15 quoted). God and Christ and the heavenly host would have men know that if he unites with the corrupt he will become corrupt." E. G. White, Review and Herald, Vol. 4, p. 137.

 

The above reasons are why we have to separate from the prevailing abominable apostasy.  God Himself said that it is IMPOSSIBLE for us to unite with those who are corrupt and still remain pure.  The majority of professing Seventh-day Adventists will never believe this truth until it is forever too late.  When are we held responsible for truth?  When we learn it!

 

Tares are Found Even in the Home Churches Until the Close of Probation

 

Friend of mine, one is not saved just because he separates from the prevailing apostasy.  SDA’s have proven that quite well.  They separated from the apostasy of the fallen churches in 1844, and then they became like those they separated from by desiring to be just like them.  Tares will be even in the home churches until the close of probation, but they do not make it IMPOSSIBLE for the wheat to mature. They are merely insincere believers and only God knows who they are.  Open sinners are more than insincere believers.  They are open, unbelieving apostates.  This distinction is most important to understand.

 

Ellen White said that quiescent, insincere believer tares, are not to be uprooted until the close of probationary time, Christ's Object Lessons, 72.  Why? Because she said that we would have to judge their motives in order to uproot them, and we are not to judge motives.  But we do not have to judge motives to uproot open sinners.  We may not understand their motives, but we can SEE the open sin with our very eyes.  No motives need judging in this case!

 

Open sinning tares and thorns are to be uprooted, or the church will be overspread with them and they will choke out and kill the wheat, making it impossible for the wheat to mature. This is why the wheat must be separated from a church that is controlled by open sinning, apostate tares and thorns.

 

The Apostasy of Two Different Gospels

 

A variation of the Doctrine of the Nicolaitans is being taught in the SDA church today.  That variation on the theme, teaches that one is not saved by works, which is true, but then adds:  “not even works empowered by the Holy Spirit.”

 

That variation on the them of the Doctrine of the Nicolaitans, is a blasphemous belief which God especially hates, Rev. 2 and 3.  That belief grieves away the Holy Spirit and the presence of God from the church.  How? Why?  Because

 

God says:

 

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.

 

How does Jesus turn away every one of you from your iniquities?

 

"The Power of God in the Third Person.--The prince of the power of evil can only be held in check by the power of God in the third person of the Godhead, the Holy Spirit.-- Special Testimonies, Series A, No. 10, p. 37. (1897).

 

Does Ellen White contradict Scripture?  Scripture says that Jesus turns us away from our iniquities.  Ellen White says that the prince of the power of evil (Satan), can only be held in check by the Holy Spirit, the third person of the Godhead.  How does Jesus equate with that third person of the Godhead.  Ellen White makes that clear as well:

 

"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 [HIS LIFE--THE SOUL OF HIS LIFE], 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.

 

“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.

 

Does Scripture Agree With Ellen White on the Identity of the “Another Comforter?”

 

14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. 15 If ye love me, keep my commandments. 16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; 17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. 18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.

 

Yes indeed, Scripture attests that the third person of the Godhead is the Son of God, before He was Incarnated.  At His Incarnation, he emptied himself of his Divine Nature ONLY, His omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent, life, His essential substance, the one eternal spirit, which is the substance of the Father and the Son, and bequeathed it to us for the purpose of curing the sin problem and restoring man to the image of God, which he had before Adam sinned.  That is the express purpose of the Holy Spirit.  So to say that works—empowered by the Holy Spirit, are not efficacious (meritorious) toward our salvation, is blasphemy, because those works are as much a free gift of grace as is pardon for sin, and without those works of empowerment, no man could be saved except in sin, rather than from sin.

 

We were promised the Divine Nature (Only—unmixed with humanity) as a gift for overcoming the lust and sin of the world:

 

Mar 4:19 And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.

 

2Pe 1:4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

 

Tts 2:12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;

 

"But the doctrine is now largely taught that the Gospel of Christ has made the law of God of no effect that by 'believing' we are released from the necessity of being doers of the word. But this is the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which Christ so unsparingly condemned....

Those who are teaching this doctrine today have much to say in regard to faith and the righteousness of Christ but they pervert the truth, and make it serve the cause of error. They declare that we have only to believe on Jesus Christ, and that faith is all-sufficient that the righteousness of Christ is to be the sinners credentials that this imputed righteousness fulfils the law for us, and that we are under no obligation to obey the law of God. This class claim that Christ came to save sinners, and that he has saved them. "I am saved,' they will repeat over and over again. But are they saved while transgressing the law of Jehovah?--No for the garments of Christ's righteousness are not a cloak for iniquity: Such teaching is a gross deception, and Christ becomes to these persons a stumbling-block as he did to the Jews,--to the Jews because hey would not receive him as their personal Saviour to these professed believers in Christ, because they separate Christ and the Law, and regard faith as a substitute for obedience. They separate the Father and the Son, the Saviour of the world. Virtually they teach, both by precept and example, that Christ, by his death, saves men in their transgressions." E. G. White, The Signs of the Times,  Vol. 3, 363, col. 1.

 

"Christ has plainly taught that those who persist in open sin must be separated from the church..."  Christ's Object Lessons, 71.

 

This labor of purifying the church is a painful work, but one that must not be neglected, if the church would have the commendation of God." E. G. White, Review and Herald Articles,  06-07-1887, paragraph 16.


"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 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 sympathise with those in the wrong .... When the church departs from God they despise the plain testimony, and complain of severity and harshness. It is a sad evidence of the lukewarm state of the church." Spiritual Gifts, Vol. II, pp. 283-284.

 

Thorns--Nicolaitans to be Separated From the Church--"It is our work to know our special failings and sins, which cause darkness and spiritual feebleness, and quenched our first love. Is it worldliness? Is it selfishness? Is it the love of self-esteem? Is it striving to be first? Is it the sin of sensuality that is intensely active? Is it the sin of the Nicolaitans, turning the grace of god into lasciviousness? Is it the misuse and abuse of great light and opportunities and privileges, marking boasted claims to wisdom and religious knowledge, while the life and character are inconsistent and immoral? Whatever it is that has been petted and cultivated until it has become strong and overmastering, make determined efforts to overcome, else you will be lost. It is these cherished sins, abhorrent to God, that make enfeebled moral courage, and leave you to choose to walk apart from God, while you retain a miserable, heartless, outward form. Once the soul was all aglow with the love for Jesus but all this is changed. The great Head who moves in the midst of his candlesticks will never be without a church. There will be faithless ones who will go out from us because they were not of us. There will be apostasies. But 'nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his.' There will be those who are evil, who hold the truth in unrighteousness, who are sensual, who are controlled by the master-worker in all evil, who will have to be separated from the church."...

 

This labor of purifying the church is a painful work, but one that must not be neglected, if the church would have the commendation of God." E. G. White, Review and Herald Articles,  06-07-1887, paragraph 16.

  

"Any connection with infidels and UNBELIEVERS which would identify us with them is FORBIDDEN by the word. We are to come out from them and be separate. in no case are we to link ourselves with them in their plans or work." E. G. White,  Fundamentals of Christian Education,  482.

 

"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 ...Satan has taken FULL POSSESSION of the churches as a body." E.G. White, Early Writings, 273.

 

The Severity and Intensity of the Messenger is Always Misunderstood by the Apostates

 

Moses’ example

 

"Those who plead that great charity must be exercised toward the transgressors of God's commandments, may see in this instance of God's retributive justice [the slaying of the golden calf worshippers] how He regards that charity that would cloak sin, or shield those in iniquity. The ringleaders in this wickedness, without respect to friendship or kindred, were to be punished with death. Only those were slain who stood forth in bold defiance to vindicate their conduct [such as saying they were just doing what sinners do], while those who repented of their sins, and humbled themselves, were spared. Some would call the prompt and decided measures taken, a hard and severe spirit. But Moses here received from the mouth of God, the interpretation of, or what he calls, sanctification. In the prompt decisive act of showing their abhorrence of such disobedience and transgression, they sanctified themselves. This integrity, this undeviating faithfulness, brought a blessing upon the tribe who performed the act of terrible justice....

Moses represents a class who will call sin by its right name a class that will give no place to sin and wrong, but will purge it from among them. Our abhorrence of sin cannot be too strong, if we are controlled by no personal, selfish feelings, if we labor disinterestedly for the salvation of souls, pleading in behalf of the erring, and those blinded by their own transgressions....

Moses manifested his great love for Israel in his entreaty to the Lord to forgive their sin, or blot his name out of the book which he had written [which Moses prayed for the repentant ones after the unrepentant were killed]. His intercessions here illustrate Christ's love and mediation for the sinful race. But the Lord refused to let Moses suffer for the sins of His backsliding people. He declared to him that those who had sinned against him he would blot out of his book which he had written for the righteous should not suffer for the guilt of the sinner. The book here referred to is the book of records in Heaven, in which every name is inscribed, and the acts of all, their sins, and obedience, are faithfully written. When individuals commit sins which are too grievous for the Lord to pardon, their names are erased from the book, and they are devoted to destruction." E.G. White, Signs of the Times, Vol. 1, p. 160.

 

Do individuals commit sin which are too grievous for the Lord to pardon so that their names are forever erased from the book of life.  Indeed, but when you remind them of unpardonable sins, as defined by God in Jeremiah 11:9-15, and Isaiah 8:9-13, they think you too severe, unloving and uncharitable.  Try it!  You will find this to be true.

 

“The servants of God should manifest a tender, compassionate spirit and show to all that they are not actuated by any personal motives in their dealings with the people, and that they do not take delight in giving messages of wrath in the name of the Lord.

 

“Those who seek to cloak sin and make it appear less aggravating to the mind of the offender are doing the work of the false prophets and may expect the retributive wrath of God to follow such a course. The Lord will never accommodate His ways to the wishes of corrupt men.” —4 Testimonies, 185.

 

There are times that I have failed to be as patient and compassionate as I should have been, but I have always apologized and fell at the feet of Jesus in repentance.  If there are any who feel that I did not apologize for any act toward them, I hereby apologize to you and God.  In Jesus’ name, Ron Beaulieu.

 

“Those who have in the fear of God ventured out to faithfully meet error and sin, calling sin by its right name, have discharged a disagreeable duty with much suffering of feelings to themselves; but they get the sympathy of but few and suffer the neglect of many. The sympathizers are on the wrong side, and they carry out the purposes of Satan to defeat the design of God.

Reproofs always hurt human nature. Many are the souls that have been destroyed by the unwise sympathy of their brethren; for, because the brethren sympathized with them, they thought they must indeed have been abused, and that the reprover was all wrong and had a bad spirit. The only hope for sinners in Zion is to fully see and confess their wrongs, and put them away. Those who step in to destroy the edge of sharp reproof that God sends, saying that the reprover was partly wrong and the reproved was not just right, please the enemy.

 

“Any way that Satan can devise to make the reproofs of none effect will accomplish his design. Some will lay blame upon the one whom God has sent with a message of warning, saying, He is too severe; and in so doing they become responsible for the soul of the sinner whom God desired to save, and to whom, because He loved him, He sent correction, that he might humble his soul before God and put his sins from him. These false sympathizers will have an account to settle with the Master by-and-by for their work of death.”—3 Testimonies, 328-329.

 

“Those whom God has chosen for an important work have ever been received with distrust and suspicion. Anciently, when Elijah was sent with a message from God to the people, they did not heed the warning. They thought him unnecessarily severe. They even thought that he must have lost his senses because he denounced them, the favored people of God, as sinners, and their crimes as so aggravated that the judgments of God would awaken against them. Satan and his host have ever been arrayed against those who bear the message of warning and who reprove sins. The unconsecrated will also be united with the adversary of souls, to make the work of God’s faithful servants as hard as possible.”—3 Testimonies, 261.

 

I am accused daily on some SDA internet forums of having lost my senses and/or become unbalanced in mind. The individuals who so charge me make my work as hard as possible with their Satanic tirades against me and the truth I speak to them.  This is how we experience a small draught from the cup Jesus drank of, and no one will be saved without drinking from this cup in some measure.  Bible proof?  Surely:

 

Mat 19:29 And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.

 

Jer 5:7 How shall I pardon thee for this? thy children have forsaken me, and sworn by [them that are] no gods: when I had fed them to the full, they then committed adultery, and assembled themselves by troops in the harlots' houses.

Phl 3:10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;

Col 1:24 Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the church:

1Pe 4:13 But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.

Tts 2:12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;

2Ti 3:12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.

Have you suffered persecution for Jesus lately?  Here is a sample of what I endure on a daily basis, and I quote:

 

Ron,

Karl has the gospel--- the true Gospel, not this Satanic jibber-jabber you have.

 

And on and on the accusations go. I have been called the Babel kid, Son of Satan, crazy, a fool, and every evil adjective I can think of.  But we are not to focus on the blackballs.  I have given you but a small sample and the worst, far worst, I have not revealed.

 

It seems that SDA’s believe that as long as they don’t claim to be a prophet or messenger, they can exhibit all manner of hate toward one who does hold such office, and be impervious in accountability to God, for any violation of the very acts they attribute to God’s servants.

 

God bless all who are searching as for hidden treasure,

 

Ron Beaulieu
