Dear Reader,
I respond to Gar below his comments. Thank
you Gar for providing another opportunity that I may present the truth of the
weight of evidence to those who might not be cognizant of such. Many
Adventists will be slaughtered along with you because they believe as you do.
Ellen White says in Great Controversy,
Chapter 1, that in the prefigure type involving Israel circa A.D. 27-70, true
prophets of God warned the people as to when to leave Jerusalem. The fled 3 ½
years before Titus destroyed Jerusalem in A.D. 70. But all faithful
Christians were gathered out into home churches before A.D. 66, to wit:
Scripture on Home Churches
Act 16:32
And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his
house.
Act 16:34
And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and
rejoiced, believing in God with all his house.
Act 16:40
And they went out of the prison, and entered into [the house of] Lydia: and
when they had seen the brethren, they comforted them, and departed.
Act 18:7
And he departed thence, and entered into a certain [man's] house, named
Justus, [one] that worshipped God, whose house joined hard to the synagogue.
Rom 16:5
Likewise [greet] the church that is in their house. Salute my well beloved
Epaenetus, who is the firstfruits of Achaia unto Christ.
1Cr 1:11
For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them [which are of
the house] of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.
1Cr 16:15
I beseech you, brethren, (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the
firstfruits of Achaia, and [that] they have addicted themselves to the
ministry of the saints,)
1Cr 16:19
The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the
Lord, with the church that is in their house.
Ellen
White on Home Churches
When the
young men and women were kept away from the Alpha of apostasy in the church,
what did they do where did they meet for worship?
Ellen White on Home Churches in the
Alpha of Apostasy:
"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.
What in the world would Ellen White do in
light of the Omega of Apostasy?

Ron all of your
puffed up talk has greatly angered the Lord!
Yes Ezekiel
22:17-31 says the dross (tares & thorns) will be gathered into the midst
of Jerusalem for slaughter and burning leaving only the wheat in the midst of
Jerusalem.
Ron responds:
·
In A.D. 70, the last literal fulfillment of Ezekiel 9, did the
wheat remain in the midsts of Jerusalem while the tares (dross) were
slaughtered and burned all around them? Or had they fled 3 ½ years prior to
the mountains of Pella? Read GC, Chapter 1, for the answers. Every true
Christian had fled. Gar wants you to remain with him to be slaughtered. Satan
wants you to remain in the apostate church to be slaughtered—men, maidens and
little children, slaughtered without mercy, Ezekiel 9:6 and 5T 211. This is
historical FACT, not my opinion.
·
All we need do is look at how God worked to separate the wheat
from the tares in Jerusalem, circa A.D. 27-70.
·
In Ezekiel 22:17-31, there was no wheat left in Jerusalem. Gar
is totally errant on this as he is totally errant on all his points. Lets see
if Ezekiel 22 says there was ONE wheat left in Jerusalem?
·
30And I
sought for a man among them [the
midsts of Jerusalem in context], that should make up the hedge, and stand
in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none. Ezekiel 22:30.
·
God says that tares can dwell with the wheat, so tares are not
corrupt open sinners.
·
Tares are insincere believers whose motives we would have to
judge in order to remove them. COL, p. 71-72.
·
Ellen White said that open sin must be removed from the church
or all become corporately responsible for open sin.
·
When open sin is not removed from the church, it is impossible
for the wheat to mature and remain pure.
·
"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.
·
"Christ has plainly taught that those who persist in open sin
must be separated from the church..." Christ's Object Lessons, 71.
·
When a church
leadership refuses to remove those who persist in open sin, and when the
leaders are the ring-leaders of the open sin apostasy, THEN, the faithful
must leave, for it will then be impossible for the wheat to mature and/or
remain or become pure.
·
"Thorns
sprung up.--The thorns made it
impossible for the wheat to mature (see Luke 8:14). 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 [E.G. White, 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." Seventh-day
Adventist Bible Commentary, vol. 5, 405.
·
Thorny-ground
hearers teach that justification is the sum and substance of religion—the
doctrine of the Nicolaitans. Or they may teach that sanctification is
necessary out of one side of their mouth, and that justification only is
essential out of the other side. This is what Satan does. God says whatever
is not of yea or nay is of the devil.
· The new movement SDA church has always rejected
corporate responsibility whereby if open sin exists in the church, the
members are corporately responsible for that open sin. They totally ignore
what Ellen White says about corporate responsibility.
· "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 above
principle is taught in the story of Achan, Joshua, Chapters 6 and 7.
·
If thorns kill the
wheat and make it impossible for the wheat to mature, the wheat cannot dwell
with the thorns—thorny ground hearers of the Word only.
·
This is the reason (above) why Jesus and His disciples
gathered out the faithful Christians in the prefigure, long before the end of
probationary times. This is the reason that during the reformation true
protestants were gathered out from the Catholics long before the tares are
gathered out at the end of probationary time. This is the reason Adventists left
the churches who rejected the truth in 1844, long before the tares are
separated from the dross at the end of probationary time.
·
"Christ has plainly taught that those who persist in open sin
must be separated from the church..." Christ's Object Lessons, 71.
·
Open sin refers to thorny ground hearers of the Word, for God
says that the thorns choke out the wheat and kill it. One of the most serious
and most common of errors amongst professing Seventh-day Adventists is to
make no distinction between tares, thorns and open sinning corrupt, apostate
leaders and members.
"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.
"The Sanhedrin had rejected Christ's
message and was bent upon His death therefore Jesus departed from Jerusalem,
from the priests, the temple, the religious leaders, the people who had been
instructed in the law, and turned to another class to proclaim His message,
and to gather out those who should carry the gospel to all nations.
As
the light and life of men was rejected by the ecclesiastical authorities in
the days of Christ, so it has been rejected in every succeeding generation. Again and again the history of
Christ's withdrawal from Judea has been repeated. When the Reformers preached
the word of God, they had no thought of separating themselves from the
established church but the religious leaders would not tolerate the light,
and those that bore it were forced to seek another class, who were longing
for the truth. In our day few of the professed followers of the Reformers are
actuated by their spirit. Few are listening for the voice of God, and ready
to accept truth in whatever guise it may be presented. Often those who follow
in the steps of the Reformers are forced to turn away from the churches they
love, in order to declare the plain teaching of the word of God. And many
times those who are seeking for light are by the same teaching obliged to
leave the church of their fathers, that they may render obedience." E.G.
White, Desire
of Ages, 232.
Why did the reformers leave the churches of their
fathers before the wheat and tares are separated at the close of probationary
time? Because the leaders rejected light and rejection of light is apostasy
and open sin, just as it was open
sin for the leaders and members of the other churches to reject the
first angel’s message, the second angel’s message, and the Midnight Cry of
1844. By that open sin of rejecting light, the churches became fallen. By
disobedience to the same light via ecumenical liaison with Babylon, the SDA
church has imbibed unpardonable open sin, because there is no other option in
Isaiah 8:9-13, and Word to the Little Flock 14, wherein it says that those
who stray from the Midnight Cry lighted path that called us out of Babylon,
find it IMPOSSIBLE to get back on the pathway to heaven.
"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.
"'They that forsake the law praise the
wicked.' Proverbs 28:4. When those who are uniting with the world, yet
claiming great purity, plead for union with those who have ever been the
opposers of the cause of truth, we should fear and shun them as decidedly as
did Nehemiah. Such counsel is prompted by the enemy of all good. It is the
speech of timeservers, and should be resisted as resolutely today as then.
Whatever influence would tend to unsettle the faith of God' people in His
guiding power, should be steadfastly withstood." E.G. White, Prophets and Kings, p. 660.
"Saved
into the church.--The world to which we belong by birth is hostile to God and
under condemnation. Therefore, in order to save us, the cross must deliver us
from the world and place us in the church, the body of Christ. Every other
aspect of salvation is based upon this fact. The gospel delivers us not
primarily from hell to heaven, nor from death to life, but from the world to
the church. As a subjective experience, this is always the first step of our
salvation. Christ will never take us to heaven as individuals, but only as
members of His church." Jack Sequeira, SDA Pastor, Beyond Belief, p. 115.
The above
teaching is directly contradictory to Ellen White's teaching:
"We
ARE NOT saved as a sect; no denominational name has any virtue to bring us
into favor with God. We are saved individually as believers in the Lord Jesus
Christ." E.G. White, Review and Herald Articles, vol. 2, p. 464.
Paul left—Notice the Only Reason
Why 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.
·
In Great Controversy, p. 25, Ellen White calls what occurred
to the Jews A.D. 27-70 a prefigure of what will occur in the end-time.
·
Also, Ellen White reapplies Matthew 22:1-10 to the end-time, Sermons and Talks, Vol. 1, pp. 4-9.
·
Matthew 22:7 is what happened in fulfillment of Ezekiel 9 in
A.D. 70.
·
Ellen White says that only Christ’s presence can constitute a
church.
·
She says in 1SM 205, that God has been removed from the new
movement SDA church.
·
She said that the apostasy would wax stronger until Jesus
comes.
·
In the prefigure type of A.D. 27-70, there were two
Jerusalem’s represented—Jesus’ and His disciples headquarters in Jerusalem,
and the headquarters of the apostate Jewish Temple (the Synagogue of Satan).
·
The bride of Christ, those who were to take the gospel to the
world were gathered out—Desire of Ages,
232. (Evidence supplied below).
·
Jesus gathered out the faithful into home churches, Bible
evidence for this is furnished further down (below).
Persecution Cleanses the Church
Prosperity multiplies a mass of
professors. Adversity purges them out of the church.--4T 89
(1876). {LDE 173.5}
Ron responds: It should be obvious to the
spiritually discerning that it is from and by the church triumphant of
Ezekiel 20:34-38 that the rebels are shaken, and not any church militant. All
the faithful of all fallen churches are shaken out of those churches and the
Sunday law is just the last opportunity to come out and be saved. But we are responsible for truth as soon
as we hear it, so all who learn the truth ARE RESPONSIBLE WHEN THEY HERE IT.
I can say with all the authority of God’s Word and the Spirit of Prophecy,
that if those sources are correct (and they are), Gar has closed his
probation and like Satan, he wants to take as many with him as possible. This
is a most serious realization, but it is just as sure as Ellen White’s Word to the Little Flock, p. 14,
statement. I knew this a long, long time ago, but I let Gar play out his
character for all to witness.
"While
praying at the family altar, the Holy Ghost fell on me, and I seemed to be
rising higher and higher, far above the dark world. I turned to look for the
Advent people in the world, but could not find them--when a voice said to me,
'Look again, and look a little higher.' At this I raised my eyes and saw a
straight and narrow path cast up high above the world. On this path the
Advent people were traveling to the City, which was at the farther end of the
path. They had a bright light set up behind them at the first end of the
path, which an angel told me was the Midnight Cry. This light shone all along
the path, and gave light for their feet so they might not stumble. And if
they kept their eyes fixed on Jesus, who was just before them, leading them
to the City, they were safe. But soon some grew weary, and they said the City
was a great way of, and they expected to have entered it before. Then Jesus
would encourage them by raising his glorious right arm, and from his arm came
a glorious light which waved over the Advent band, and they shouted
Hallelujah! Others rashly denied the light behind them, and said that it was
not God that had led them out so far. The light behind them went out leaving
their feet in perfect darkness, and they stumbled and got their eyes off the
mark and lost sight of Jesus, and fell off the path down in the dark and
wicked world below. It was just as impossible
for them to get on the path again and go to the City, as all the wicked world
which God had rejected. They fell all the way along the path one after
another, until we heard the voice of God like many waters, which gave us the
day and hour of Jesus' coming....
By this
time the 144,000 were all sealed and perfectly united. On their foreheads was
written, God, New Jerusalem, and a glorious Star containing Jesus' new
name." E.G. White, Word to the Little Flock,
p. 14.
Gar
is guilty of all of the above 10 times over in the last 10 years time. All
that was necessary was ONCE. This is serious friend—the most serious warning
you will ever be confronted with.
The time is not far distant when the test
will come to every soul. The mark of the beast will be urged upon us. Those
who have step by step yielded to worldly demands and conformed to worldly
customs will not find it a hard matter to yield to the powers that be, rather
than subject themselves to derision, insult, threatened imprisonment,
and death. The contest is between the commandments of God and the
commandments of men. In this time the gold will be separated from the dross
in the church.--5T 81 (1882). {LDE 173.6}
In the absence of the persecution there
have drifted into our ranks men who appear sound and their Christianity
unquestionable, but who, if persecution should arise, would go out from
us.--Ev 360 (1890). {LDE 174.1}
When the law of God is made void the
church will be sifted by fiery trials, and a larger proportion than we now
anticipate will give heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils.--2SM
368 (1891). {LDE 174.2}
The great issue so near at hand
[enforcement of Sunday laws] will weed out those whom God has not appointed
and He will have a pure, true, sanctified ministry prepared for the latter
rain.--3SM 385 (1886). {LDE 179.2}
Ron responds: All of the above statements refer to what
qualifies as a church triumphant at the end-time. Only God’s presence can
constitute a church, The Upward Look,
315. The new movement that has removed God, 1SM 205, thus does not qualify as
a church. It has been taken over by Satan, and has become the Synagogue of
Satan in direct parallel with the apostate Jewish church of Christ’s day when
He called it such. So all the above statements and any similar statement(s)
by Ellen White, now apply to home churches which still house wheat and tares
till the end of probationary time, but they will not member open, apostate
sinners. The tares are insincere believers whose motives we would have to
judge (impugn) in order to uproot them, COL, p. 72.
Gar says what is in black print above and
below. He here quotes me from a past statement by me.
Ron responds:
While the following is 100% true:
The Church is in the Omega Apostasy Ellen
White warned us was coming.
·
The 3 Angels Messages have been abandoned.
·
Spiritualism is in the Church
·
Evolution is being taught
·
Ecumenism is rife
·
Jesuits in our leadership
And thou, Capernaum [Seventh-day Adventists,
who have had great light], which art exalted unto heaven [in point of
privilege], shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works which have
been done in thee had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this
day."--RH Aug. 1, 1893. [THE BRACKETED COMMENTS ARE BY ELLEN
WHITE.] {LDE 48.2}
The church is in the Laodicean state. The
presence of God is not in her midst.--1NL 99 (1898). {LDE 49.1}
God will purify his Church as Ellen White
says the sinners in Zion will be sifted out--the chaff separated from the
precious wheat.
There are tares among the wheat. 'Wilt
thou then that we . . . gather them up?' was the question of the servant; but
the master answered, 'Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also
the wheat with them.' The gospel net draws not only good fish, but bad ones
as well, and the Lord only knows who are His. {TM
61.2}
Ron responds: All who cannot
distinguish between tares (insincere believers) and open sinning apostates
(thorny-ground hearers who choke the wheat and kill it) will be slaughtered.
Don’t misunderstand me here. We cannot know the tares because they are not
open sinners, but we can know open sinning apostates.
Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs
of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
Matt. 7:16, 17. {FLB 326.1}
BOTH the tares and the wheat grow
together until the harvest, Ron wants to pull up the wheat from the ground (Adventist
Church) it was planted in because of the tares, if this were done the wheat
would die. Jesus said let them both grow TOGETHER until the harvest the Lord
knows who's are His and can protect them during the time of the Ezekiel 9
Slaughter.
Ron responds: Gar does lie. I believe that
the wheat and tares will grow together in home churches until the end of
probationary time. However, that is far different from the wheat dwelling
with open sin, corrupt apostates, who choke out and kill the wheat. Some will
not discern this serious difference. Gar falls into this category. One cannot
reject the truth 10 times in ten years straight and still be able to remain
on the pathway to heaven for Ellen White said all who knowing did so ONCE
circa 1844, found it IMPOSSIBLE to get back on the pathway to heaven. I have
given Gar the benefit of any doubt for ten years now, but if Ellen White,
Isaiah 8:9-13 and Ezekiel 5, 9, 22:17-31 and Jeremiah 11:9-15 are correct,
Gar has indeed sealed his fate. This is fraught with seriousness! Beware lest
you make the same mistake of eternal consequences. Gar is very familiar with
all the serious forbidden abominations of the church for which we are to sigh
and cry. He has chosen 10 times over 10 years to remain corporate responsible
for all of them. He has chosen 10 time to accept the truth and then reject
it. In 1844, the people were given ONE OPPORTUNITY to accept or reject the
truths then given to the fallen churches. This same indictment applies to all
who hear the truth and reject it, just as surely as Ellen White said the same
thing regarding all who heard and understood, but rejected the messages of
1844.
In the Plagues
that befell Egypt God's people were in Egypt yet not one plague
touched them. So it will be when the Ezekiel 9 Slaughter comes upon the SDA
Church God's people in the Church will be safe from the Slaughter. There
were Seven Thousand who had not bowed the knee to Baal in Israel; today
God has His people in the Church who have not bowed the knee to Baal.
Ron responds:
·
Indeed there are and will continue to be new converts in all
fallen churches who will not be regarded as having “bowed the knee to Baal”
because they have not heard the truth. But this does not apply to those who
have heard the truth and rejected it by known violation.
·
The Plagues that befell Egypt were centuries before the close
of probation for Israel. Ezekiel 9 had no bearing on that event whatsoever.
God was bringing His people out of Egypt so that they could keep His
commandments, much as He brought His people out of Babylon in 1844 to keep
His commandments. But when Israel chose to disobey God’s commandments and
joined with God’s enemies in a confederacy with them, that closed Israel’s
probation. This can occur on a generational basis as it did in Jeremiah,
chapters 7 and 11, wherein God said not to even pray for the Jews of that
generation because they conspired/confederated with His enemies and thereby
became responsible for their idolatry. Ellen White said that event would have
an end-time COUNTERPART and the only “chosen” people of God who qualify for
that COUNTERPART are professing SDA’s:
COUNTERPART: "The Lord commanded one of his
ancient servants, 'Pray not thou for this people [Jer. 7:16 and 11:14],
neither lift up cry nor prayer for them neither make intercession to me for I
will not hear thee.' The prophet thus describes the sins which had called
forth this fearful denunciation: 'The prophets prophesy falsely, and the
priests bear rule by their means and my people love to have it so and what
will ye do in the end thereof?' 'From the least of them even unto the
greatest of them, every one is given to covetousness and from the prophet
even unto the priest, every one dealeth falsely. They have healed also the hurt
of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace, when there is no
peace.' The apostles declare that this state of things will find its
COUNTERPART in the last days. Many have a form of godliness, but in their
daily life deny the power thereof. They have ceased to be convicted of their
sins or alarmed at their state. They say in their hearts, 'The church is
flourishing. Peace and spiritual prosperity are within her borders.' The
words of the prophet may well apply to these self-deceivers, 'They have
chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations. I
also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them."
E. G. White, Second Advent Review and Sabbath Herald, 11-07-82.
“The Israel of God in these last days are in constant danger of mixing with
the world and losing all signs of their being the chosen people of God. Read
again Titus ii, 13-15. We are brought down to the last days, when God is
purifying unto himself a peculiar people. Shall we provoke God as did ancient
Israel? Shall we bring his wrath upon us by departing from him and mingling
with the world, and following the abominations of the nations around us?:
{RH, June 25, 1861 par. 26}
Ezekiel 5, which gives the
reasons why Ezekiel 9 is literally fulfilled, says that Jerusalem violates
God’s statutes more than the nations around them. How so? Because they knew
the truth and violated it anyway.
COUNTERPART:
"In the time of the Saviour, the Jews had so covered over the precious
jewels of truth with the rubbish of tradition and fable, that it was
impossible to distinguish the true from the false. The Saviour came to clear
away the rubbish of superstition and long-cherished errors, and to set the
jewels of God's word in the framework of truth. What would the Saviour do if
he should come to us now as he did to the Jews? He would have to do a similar
work in clearing away the rubbish of tradition and ceremony. The Jews were
greatly disturbed when he did this work [As are SDA’s today!]. They had lost
sight of the original truth of God, but Christ brought it again to view. It
is our work to free the precious truths of God from superstition and
error." E.G. White, Review and Herald, vol. 2, 308.
There is
a modern COUNTERPART to the ancient apostate "chosen people" of
God. That modern COUNTERPART is the people who claim to be the modern
"chosen people" of God, a called out remnant, if you will, who
disqualify themselves as being part of the final remnant because of their
liaison with Babylon in disobedience of the Midnight Cry and the first and
second angel’s messages.
There are
over 100 statements to the affect that SDA’s are repeating the history of
ancient Israel. Here are just a few of them:
"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.
Church leaders were having
concord (fellowship) with unbelievers in Ellen White’s day. Another term for
that is “playing the harlot.” Playing the harlot, 8T 250, is not unpardonable
sin. But when a church MARRIES (JOINS) Babylon’s associations,
counsels/councils, girdings, and confederacies/conspiracies, that is
unpardonable sin per Jeremiah 11:9-1 and Isaiah 8:9-13. There is one option
stated three times for serious emphasis—“broken in pieces.”
"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
wide 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." E.G. White, Sketches from the Life of Paul, 251-252.
"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, 440-441.
Do not be
deceived friends by Ron Beaulieu that we should leave the Church. Ellen White
says the following of Ron's message:
The message to
pronounce the Seventh-Day Adventist Church Babylon, and call the people of
God out of her, does not come from any heavenly messenger, or any human agent
inspired by the Spirit of God. {2SM 66.2}
Ron responds: Ellen White said that if the
church should become Laodicean, it would not stand in the favor of God any
more than the fallen churches of Babylon. The church became Laodicean and has
remained Laodicean for many decades. Ellen White also said that the church
would become a sister to fallen Babylon if it did not purge the
licentiousness from its borders. That has not occurred. The licentiousness
has only multiplied times over every decade since Ellen White’s demise in
1915. Finally, Ellen White said agreed with God that the apostate SDA church
was worse than Babylon; worse than the nations around her—Ezekiel 5.
So much for Ron
being a prophet or messenger... Ellen White say he is not inspired by God so
who is inspiring him then?
The Lord has impressed
me to stay away from Ron Beaulieu, lest I be too close when the
lightning that shall come down from Heaven and consume him!
Gar
Ron responds: It is not the Lord that
impressed Gar to stay away from Ron Beaulieu. All who remain at the apostate
SDA church, HIS SANCTUARY, 5T 211, Ezekiel 9:6, will be slaughtered, just as
they were in A.D. 70. All true Christians will flee from every apostate
church. All who remain in an open sinning apostate church are corporately
responsible for the open sin apostasy of said church.

and watch unto prayer. (1 Peter 4:7)
