My
Vision on the SDA Trashing of the Protestant Reformation
“It is a backsliding church that lessens the
distance between itself and the Papacy.” ST, February 19, 1894 (3ST 99).
In the night hours of October 2, 2018, the Lord gave me a vision on
Adventism’s parallel contribution to the ending of the Lutheran Protestant
Reformation on October 31, 2017. I was shown that the SDA new movement has
acted on this issue by fork-tongued and double-speaking deception. The
President of the General Conference, Ted N. C. Wilson, wrote an article in the Adventist Review relating how the church
would never discard the Protestant Reformation, allthewhile the once SDA church militant had fully
cooperated with Evangelicals in their trashing of the Protestant Reformation by
revising the Spirit of Prophecy book The
Great Controversy, to totally omit all reference to the Protestant Reformation.
But it gets worse! Far worse! The Lord
showed me that what His people have missed is the fact that the Protestant
Reformation was trashed by new movement Adventism long before October 31, 2017,
by the following statement made by the President of the General Conference of
SDA’s, in 1974-75:
"Although
it is true that there was a period in the life of the Seventh-day Adventist
Church when the denomination took a distinctly anti-Roman Catholic
viewpoint...that attitude on the church's part was nothing more than a
manifestation of widespread anti-popery among conservative Protestant
denominations in the early part of this century and the latter part of the
last, and which has now been consigned to the historical trash heap so far as
the Seventh-day Adventist Church is concerned." (Neal C. Wilson, past
president of the Seventh-day Adventist General Conference, Court Transcript of
United States vs the Seventh-day Adventist Church, Equal Employment Opportunity
Commission vs the Pacific Press Publishing Association and the General
Conference, Reply Brief for Defendants, p 4, Civil Case #74-2025 CBR, presided
over by Judge Charles B. Renfrew, U.S. District Court, San Francisco,
California, 1974-1975.)
Forty-two
years before the other Protestant churches joined Rome in trashing the
Protestant Reformation, the SDA church General Conference President beat
Babylon to the punch in doing away with the Protestant Reformation! Every
MEMBER of the new movement is corporately responsible for this abominable heresy:
Corporate Responsibility--The innocent suffer with the
guilty
The plainest example of
corporate responsibility taught by Scripture is that Christ is the head and we
are the body of His Church. The head of the body cannot endure sin in the body.
Thus, Christ Himself would be corporately responsible if He permitted sin in
His body, His church.
“God regards as his enemies
those who will by any act of negligence shield the guilty. They are in his
sight partakers in the evil deeds of the sinner.{ST January 20, 1881, par. 15}
Here are lessons which God’s
people at the present day should take to heart. There
are grievous sins indulged by individual members of the church,—covetousness,
over-reaching, deception, fraud, falsehood, and many others. If these sins are
neglected by those who have been placed in authority in the church, the
blessing of the Lord is withheld from his people, and the innocent suffer with the guilty. The officers in the church should be earnest, energetic
men, having a zeal for God, and they should take the most prompt and thorough
measures to condemn and correct these wrongs. In this work they should act, not
from selfishness, jealousy, or personal prejudice, but in all meekness and
lowliness of mind, with a sincere desire that God may be glorified. Inhumanity, false dealing, prevarication, licentiousness,
and other sins, are not to be palliated or excused; for they will speedily
demoralize the church. Sin may be called by
false names, and glossed over by plausible excuses and pretended good motives,
but this does not lessen its guilt in the sight of God. Wherever it may be
found, sin is offensive to God, and will surely meet its punishment.” {ST
January 20, 1881, par. 16}
Ted N. C. Wilson on Corporate
Responsibility

Corporate
responsibility for praying for the Holy Spirit:
Elder Ted Wilson CORRECTLY stated in his General Conference Sabbath
Sermon – July 3, 2010, that the church is corporately responsible for praying
for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. You may hear and/or read the entire
sermon at this link. Search the text for the word CORPORATELY. http://www.steps.org.au/page/go-forward-Ted-NC-Wilson.html
·
Ted Wilson’s
Statement: “It depends on whether or not we are ready to humbly ask
for revival and reformation in our lives personally and corporately as a church
which will lead to the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in the latter rain.”
·
If the church is corporately responsible for the Holy
Spirit’s outpouring of the Latter Rain upon the SDA church, then the church is
corporately responsible for the apostasy that precludes that outpouring.
·
If the church is
corporate responsible for the Holy Spirit existing in the church, IT IS CORPORATELY
RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REASON THE HOLY SPIRIT IS NOT AND CANNOT BE IN THE ONCE CHURCH.
·
In the last typical literal fulfillment of Ezekiel 9, no
“holy spirit rain” fell upon apostate Israel, Ezekiel 22:24. So it won’t fall in
the antitypical fulfillment upon the apostate SDA church militant (wheat and
tare co-ed church).
Corporate responsibility is stressed by the Holy Spirit gift through Ellen White:
"The plain straight
testimony must live in the church, or the curse of God will rest upon His
people as surely as it did upon ancient Israel because of their sins. God holds
His people, as a body [corporately], responsible for the sins existing in
individuals among them." Testimonies, vol. 3, p. 269.
"The names of those who sin
and refuse to repent should not be retained on the church books, lest the
saints be held accountable for their evil deeds. Those who pursue a course
of transgression should be visited and labored with, and if they then refuse
to repent, they should be separated from church fellowship, in accordance with
the rules laid down in the Word of God." {11MR 208.3}
All
of the above is another prime reason why Ellen White said the church was worse
than heathen, graven image, idol worshippers. In essence, the SDA church
trashed the Protestant Reformation long before the Evangelicals and Catholics
did!
Worse
than Babylon -- "God's professed people are selfish and
self-caring....They are idolaters, and are worse, in the sight of God, than the
heathen, graven-image worshippers who have had no knowledge of a better
way." Testimonies, Vol. 2, 440-442.
Ellen White said that she would not
change a word in her Great Controversy
book, while apostate SDA leaders have omitted more than 600 pages and 31
chapters which taught the distinctive pillar doctrines of Seventh-day
Adventism, to include the Three Angel’s Messages. The full copy of Ellen
White’s Great Controversy has over
700 pages and 42 chapters. The book the new movement has replaced The Great Controversy with, is entitled The Great Hope. I was shown that this is
one of the most abominable examples of “books of a new order,” that were to be
brought forth by the omega new movement, new organization. Notice:
"The
enemy of souls has sought to bring in the supposition that a great reformation
was to take place among
[WITHIN] 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.
Dr.
Walter Veith has said that we are not to repudiate such apostasy, but only
teach the three angel’s messages. The Spirit of Prophecy says to REPUDIATE
EVERYTHING that is not in harmony with the foundation of Adventism. God says to
cry aloud and show my people their sins (Isa. 58:1), and Ezekiel 9 says to sigh
and cry for all the abominations, and that only those who do so will be sealed
(MARKED) by the Man in Linen.
The
new movement is so cunning and deceptive. It would never agree outright with
the act of the Evangelicals and Catholics in dispensing with the Protestant
Reformation, but it surely has done so by the Satanic act of omission in the
changing of the Spirit of Prophecy on such serious issues. Truly, this adds
serious meaning to the words: “It is a backsliding church that lessens the
distance between itself and the Papacy.” ST, February 19, 1894 (3ST 99).
I was
shown that the words of the following statement (UL, 131 further down) are fully applicable to the new movement, and
have been since the mid-1950’s when the church was complicit in other forbidden
ventures with the Evangelicals, which resulted in the antichrist apostasy of
the new movement in changing Bible Readings on the human nature of
Christ, to an antichrist teaching. The church’s flagship magazine for other
ministers of other faiths, Ministry, at the time, sent out 450,000
copies to other ministers and libraries of the world, saying that Jesus took
the nature of Adam BEFORE the fall.
That
act totally betrayed the Atonement Sacrifice of Jesus Christ, whereby He came
in the likeness of our human nature to be an example for us in overcoming sin.
The Bible says that all who do not confess that He came in the likeness of
sinful flesh are ANTICHRIST.
1Jo 4:3 And every spirit that confesseth not that
Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of
antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is
it in the world.
2Jo 1:7 For many deceivers are entered into the
world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a
deceiver and an antichrist.
The words “come in the flesh” MEAN in the likeness
of SINFUL FLESH. Jesus never sinned personally, but He took upon Himself our
sinful flesh. Mary was a sinner. The Catholics make Mary an Immaculate non-sinner in order to teach that
Jesus DID NOT come in our sinful flesh. They conclude that we cannot
overcome sin, but just sin confess, sin confess, and sin confess on a continuum
basis. This errant teaching filled the coffers of the church when its members
purchased indulgences for the priests to pardon their continuum of sinning.
Rom 8:3 For what the law could not do, in that it
was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin,
condemned sin in the flesh:
“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.
I was
shown that the “others” God has chosen since the mid-1950’s apostasy, are the
true reformers and their Home Churches, just as He chose the disciples and
their Home Churches when the Jewish people rejected Christ, and He took the
kingdom from them.

Ellen White on Home Churches
in the Alpha Heresy
When
the young men and women were kept away from the Alpha of apostasy in the
church, what did they do and where did they meet for worship?
"There
is a little hope in one direction: Take the young men and women, and place them
where they will come as
little in contact with our churches as possible, that the low grade of
piety which is current in this day shall not leaven their ideas of what it
means to be a Christian." E.G. White, Manuscript Release #995, p.
5.
"Brother and
sister Haskell have rented a house in one of the best parts of the city, and
have gathered round them a family of helpers, who day by day go out giving
Bible readings, selling our papers, and doing medical missionary work. During
the hour of worship, the workers relate their experiences. Bible studies
are regularly conducted in the home, and THE YOUNG MEN AND YOUNG WOMEN
connected with the mission receive a practical, thorough training in holding
Bible readings and in selling our publications. The Lord has blessed their
labors, a number have embraced the truth, and many others are deeply
interested." Review and Herald,
September 7, 1905, Evangelism, p.
108.
Some say that Ellen White never taught separation. They don’t know
about the above example of separation. But it gets broader to include leaving
all who work on wrong principles:
"Even though you may not be able to speak a
word to those who are working on wrong principles, leave them. Your withdrawal and silence may
do more than words. Nehemiah
refused to associate with those who were untrue to principle, and he would not
permit his workmen to associate
with them. The love and fear of God were his safeguard-Dare to be a Daniel, Dare to stand alone. Thus
as did Moses, you will endure the seeing of Him who is invisible. But a cowardly and silent reserve before
evil associates, while you
listen to their devices makes you one with them. Come out from among
them and be separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I
will receive you, and will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and
daughters, saith the Lord Almighty." Review & Herald
Vol. 4, p. 42.
Is it working on wrong principles to:
1. Teach
the “church” and the world the antichrist lie that Christ came in the likeness
of Adam BEFORE the fall? Will such be saved?
2. Teach
the “church” and the world by omission, that the Protestant Reformation is
ended via the blasphemous book: The Great Hope?
3. Teach
the “church” and the world that there are three co-ETERNAL persons to the
Godhead, when the humanity of Christ was/is NOT eternal, thus sweeping away the
entire Christian economy by sweeping away the Incarnation Atonement Sacrifice
whereby a third person accrued in the person of the humanity of Christ?
4. Teach
the “church” and the world that church leaders may violate Isaiah 8:9-12
imperviously, when God says THREE TIMES that all such violators will be BROKEN
IN PIECES, which will occur at the next literal fulfillment of Ezekiel 9
slaughter of men, maidens, and little children.
"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 of 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.
"If God has any new light to communicate, He
will let His chosen and beloved understand it, without their going to have
their minds enlightened by hearing those who are in darkness and error. {EW
124.2}
What About Those Who Go Out
From Us?
The
course we are to follow has a type in Christ and His followers and how they
responded to apostasy. When the Jews betrayed and rejected truth, Jesus and His
disciples left and “gathered out” those who would take the gospel to the world
(DA 232). Deceptive leaders of the new movement have misrepresented statements
like the following, to mislead the members into believing that all the bad
leave the church to leave it purged and purified. That is not the case. Were
that true, Ezekiel 9 would not literally BEGIN at His once church, His once
sanctuary, the once House of Jacob. 5T 211.
“The Lord
will give His message to those who have walked in accordance with the light they
have had, and will recognize them as true and faithful, according to the
measurement of God.
These men will take the place
of those who, having light and knowledge, have walked not in the way of the
Lord but in the imagination of their own unsanctified hearts. {13MR
10.2}
Note by Ron: Statements like the above make it
“appear” that the once “church militant” is finally purged and purified
by the bad leaving and their being replaced by others who are faithful—leaving
the church as finally faithful. Weighed against all the evidence and
interpreted so that nothing contradicts, that is not the correct
interpretation. Why? Because if that interpretation were correct, Ezekiel 9
would never BEGIN at His church, His Sanctuary. 5T 211. Ellen White is speaking of those who go out of the
message, not out of an apostate church, though some who are errant will leave
the apostate church for the wrong reasons just as has always happened from its
inception. End note by Ron.
We are now
living in the last days, when the truth must be spoken, when in reproof and
warning it must be given to the world, irrespective of consequences. If there
are some who will become offended and turn from the truth, we must bear in mind
that there were those who did the same in Christ's day. When the greatest
Teacher the world has ever known spoke the truth, many of His disciples became offended and walked no more
with Him. {13MR 10.3}
Note by Ron: Some left “went out” from Jesus and
His disciples, the true Reformers. That is what Ellen White means by some
leaving and being replaced by others who will prove faithful. Some who join the
True Reformers will become offended and walk no more with them and their leader
Christ Jesus. End note by Ron.
But truth
will bear away the victory. Those who will maintain the truth, irrespective of
consequences, will offend some whose hearts are not in harmony with the truth
as it is in Jesus. These persons cherish theories of their own, which are not
the truth. The truth does not harmonize with their sentiments, and rather than
give up their own ideas, they walk away from those who obey the truth. But there are men who will receive
the
-11-
truth, and these
will take the places made vacant by those who become offended and leave the
truth. {13MR
10.4}
Note by Ron: Notice that Ellen White said some will
leave the “truth.” That is the true context of the statement. The disciples who
separated from the apostate church, said that some went out from them; they
went out of the truth. Going
out from the truth is different from going out from an apostate church that has
removed God, by removing pillar doctrines. End note by Ron.
"They went out from us, but they were not of us" [1 John
2:19].
Men of true Christian principle will take their
place, and will become faithful, trustworthy householders, to advocate the Word
of God in its true bearings and in its simplicity. The Lord will work so that
the disaffected ones will be separated from the true and loyal ones. Those who, like Cornelius, will
fear God and glorify Him, will take their places. The ranks will not be
diminished. Those who are firm and true will close up the vacancies that are
made by those who become offended and apostatize. {13MR 11.1}
Note by Ron: What is the parallel involving
Cornelius? Cornelius was converted by Peter, into the Christian church and out
of the apostate Temple organization. This is the TYPE as it applies to the
ANTITYPE at the end-time. A final remnant goes forth OUT OF JERUSALEM AS WELL
AS OUT OF BABYLON, Isaiah 37:31, 32 and Revelation 18. End note by Ron.
By the
wonderful works of God, Cornelius was led to bring his energetic, faithful life
into connection with the disciples of Christ. Thus shall it be in the last days. Many will prize
the wisdom of God above any earthly advantage, and will obey the Word of God as
the supreme standard. These will be led to great light. These will come to the
knowledge of the truth, and will seek to get this light of truth before those
of their acquaintance who like themselves are anxious for the truth. Thus they
become conscientious light bearers to the world. Themselves constrained by the
love of God, they will constrain others, and will improve every opportunity to
invite and urge others to come and see the beauty of the truth, and to give
their abilities to advance the work of God. {13MR 11.2}
Note by Ron: The parallel with Cornelius and his
connection with the disciples of Christ, is that of connecting with True
Reformers today, and not any apostate new movement. The disciples were indeed
True Reformers (Protestants) as was Christ. End note.
There is
work of a superior order to be done. A clear understanding of business matters
will qualify men to conduct business for the work and cause of God, to keep it
upon a high and holy basis. The missionary work, in all
-12-
its branches, needs wise, careful, judicious men,
who have ability and experience to act in the capacity of treasurers--men who
will prove trustworthy in bringing the truth before the men in the highways,
and who will bring all the advantages of their experience, their soundness of
principle, and their unbending integrity and uprightness into the work to which
they are appointed. Faith unfeigned in its largeness and fullness is wanted
just now.--Manuscript 97, 1898. (Written from Sunnyside, Cooranbong, N.S.W.,
August 11, 1898.)
Note by Ron: Those who “brought in” a new movement
that removed pillar doctrines, do not meet the description of “unbending
integrity and uprightness.” End note.
“I was shown the
necessity of those who believe that we are having the last message of mercy, being separate from those who are
daily imbibing new errors. I saw that neither young nor old should attend their
meetings; for it is wrong to thus encourage them while they teach error
that is a deadly poison to the soul and teach for doctrines the commandments of
men. The influence of such gatherings is not good. If God has delivered us from
such darkness and error, we should stand fast in the liberty wherewith He has
set us free and rejoice in the truth. God is displeased with us when we go to listen to error,
without being obliged to go; for unless He sends us to those meetings
where error is forced home to the people by the power of the will, He will not
keep us. The angels cease their watchful care over us, and we are left to the
buffetings of the enemy, to be darkened and weakened by him and the power of
his evil angels; and the light around us becomes contaminated with the
darkness. {EW 124.3}
Are you obliged to go to hear the leaders of the
new movement that has removed God? No! No more so than were Jesus and His
followers obliged to go to the apostate Temple to hear their errors.
Ellen White says in over
one-hundred statements that Adventists are moving in the same path of
disobedience as did God’s first chosen people, the Jews. Here are a few
examples:
“The
same disobedience and failure which were seen in the Jewish church have
characterized in a greater degree the people who have had this
great light from heaven in the last messages of warning.” Testimonies,
Vol. 5, p. 456.
History repeats itself. “The
thing that has been, it is that which shall be: and that which is done is that
which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.” (Ecc. 1:9). In
other words, “The important movements of the present have their
parallel in those of the past.”
(G.C. 343).
That the Advent Movement is an
important movement of the present no one can deny and it has its parallel in
the history of Ancient Israel: “The remnant church is called to go through an
experience similar to that of the Jews.” (1 SM, 387). Not one of us can afford
to ignore the following warning:
“The trials of the children of Israel, and their
attitude just before the first coming of Christ, have been presented before me,
again and again, to ILLUSTRATE the position of the people of God in their
experience before the second coming of Christ—how the enemy sought every occasion to take control of
the minds of the Jews, and today her is seeking to blind the minds of God’s
servants, that they may not be able to discern the Precious Truth.” (1 SM, 406;
2 Cor 4:4). The “precious truth” mentioned here is the light sent to the
Seventh-day Adventists in 1888.
"I
have been shown that the spirit of the world is fast leavening the church. You are following the same path as did ancient Israel. There is the
same falling away from your holy calling as God's peculiar people. You are having fellowship
with the unfruitful works of darkness. Your concord with unbelievers have
provoked he Lord's displeasure. You know not the things that belong to your peace, and they are fast
being hid from your eyes. [The very words applied to fallen Israel on page 17
of The Great Controversy] Your neglect to follow the light will place
you in a more unfavorable position than the Jews upon whom Christ pronounced a
woe." Testimonies, Vol. 5,
pp. 75-76.
"Like
ancient Israel, the church has dishonored her God by departing from the light,
neglecting her duties, and abusing her high and exalted privilege of being
peculiar and holy in character. Her members have violated their covenant to
live for God and him only. They have joined with the
selfish and world-loving. Pride, the love of pleasure, and sin have been
cherished, and CHRIST HAS DEPARTED. His Spirit has been quenched in the church. Satan
works side by side with professed Christians yet they are so
destitute of spiritual discernment that they do not detect him." E.G. White, Testimonies,
Vol. 2, pp. 441-442.

"Among
the professed followers of Christ, there is the same pride, formalism,
vainglory, selfishness, and OPPRESSION, that existed in the Jewish
nation."
