As the Storm
Approaches—Part I
1Jo 2:19 They went out from us, but they
were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would [no doubt] have
continued with us: but [they went out], that they might be made manifest that
they were not all of us.
"As the storm approaches, a large class who
have professed faith in the third angel's message, but have not been sanctified
through obedience to the truth, abandon their position and join the ranks of
the opposition. By uniting with the
world and partaking of its spirit, they have come to view matters in nearly the
same light; and when the test is brought, they are prepared to choose the easy,
popular side. Men of talent and pleasing
address, who once rejoiced in the truth, employ their powers to deceive and
mislead souls." The Great Controversy, p. 608.

Statement #1:
“July 4, 1895 Continue in the Son and in the Father.
By Mrs. E. G. White.
"Little
children, it is the last
time; and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are
there many antichrists; whereby
we know that it is the last time." Jesus has left us a warning
upon this very point. He said, "Take heed that no man deceive you. For
many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive
many." "For there shall arise false christs, and false prophets,
and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible,
they shall deceive the very elect. Behold, I have told you before." John
continues, "They went out from us,
but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have
continued with us; but they went out, that they might be made manifest that
they were not all of us." {ST, July 4, 1895 par. 1}
Note by Ron: The late Fred T. Wright, in his book Destiny of a Movement, (Downloadable
at the bottom of the Main Menu on my Website) proves beyond a particle of a
doubt that the new movement SDA church (1SM 204-5), embraced antichrist
doctrine on the human nature of Christ and His flesh in 1941 and since. It
will not fare the members of that new movement well in the judgment, when it
is discovered to them that they were too indolent to discover this fact of antichrist, unpardonable sin apostasy.
Thousands of copies of LeRoy E. Froom’s book Movement of Destiny and Answers to
Questions on Doctrine, were sent to Babylonian ministers and libraries of
the world as a testament to the fact that SDA’s believed like Babylon that
the human nature and flesh of Christ was like the sinless nature and flesh of
Adam before the fall.
The implications of this lie as taught by Babylon and the new
movement SDA church, is that we cannot overcome because we have sinful flesh
and nature which Christ did not have. Thus, we cannot overcome sin as He did.
This runs counter to the very commission to the church, the Everlasting
Gospel of the three angel’s messages, which are cap stoned in Revelation
14:1-12, with instruction that the saints will be found keeping the
commandments of God and the testimony of Jesus. So there goes the gospel and
the Christian economy in one fell swoop! And thus, another accursed gospel,
the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, has replaced the true gospel in the new
movement church. This fulfills Ellen White’s prophecy in Selected Messages, Bk. 1, 204-205, that pillar
doctrines would be removed. Here is what Ellen White said about the nature
and flesh of Christ:
“In His
humanity Christ partook of our sinful fallen nature.” Bible Readings for the Home Circle, p. 115. 1914 edition.
Since LeRoy
Froom’s book Movement of Destiny, 1971,
and Answers to Questions on Doctrine,
1957, informed Babylon that we believe the way they do on the human nature of
Christ, which makes commandment-keeping absolutely impossible, none of the
SDA distinctives mean anything! The Sabbath means nothing because you can’t
keep it according to the logical conclusion of the new movement’s teaching
that Christ had the nature of Adam before the fall. You can’t do anything but
have faith (belief only) in Jesus, so go to any church you please! That is
what I would do if I believed the teachings of new movement Adventism, and
many members are doing that very thing! The stance in those two books (cited
above), which were sent to thousands of Babylonian ministers and libraries of
the world, would have to be totally repented of and changed.
And the latest
version in the new Fundamental’s book, is no better because it is not yea or
nay. It waffles on the issue in an attempt to appease Babylonian onlookers,
and SDA members. God says whatever is not yea or nay (not yea and nay) is of
the devil. And that is the state of the current position by the SDA new
movement on the human nature of Christ.
But proof
absolute that the church still holds to the teachings of Movement of Destiny and Answers
to Questions on Doctrine, is the fact that it maintains that there will
be no final generation of overcomers! This flies in the face of Revelation
14:1-4. The new movement mocks what pioneer SDA’s refer to as Final
Generation Theology—the belief that at least 144,000 will keep the
commandments of God and be found blameless before Christ comes the second
time. So don’t let anyone fool you on this issue. The proof is in the
church’s mockery of Final Generation Theology which mockery directly
contradicts Rev. 14:1-5.
Not long
ago SDA new movement leaders met in a 50th
Anniversay Questions on Doctrines Conference between some of its highest
leaders in meeting with some Babylonian leaders, and denounced Last
Generation Theology. A summarization of that conference is at this link. But
don’t let the double speak fool you! You can take it to the bank that if SDA
leaders EVER, EVER admit to Ellen White’s statements that Jesus took our
sinful flesh that is “identical” to ours, Ms. 94, they would denounce
Adventists as a cult! Never forget this! And the fact that they do not, is proof
perfect that new movement Adventism teaches that Christ took the nature of
Adam BEFORE the fall. That is Babylon’s understanding of what the new
movement SDA church teaches TODAY! http://www.atoday.com/node/3068
End Ron’s
note. Back to Ellen White’s article:
“These deceivers will come, and, while claiming to be doing a
special work for God, while professing to have advanced piety, to be
sanctified, to see visions, and to have dreams, they will be doing the work
of the enemy, and be found breaking the
commandments of God. We should be on our guard, and bring these
pretenders to the test; "to the
law and to the testimony; if they speak not according to this word, it is
because there is no light in them." Shall we take heed to the solemn
warnings of Christ, of Paul, and of John upon this point, and not be deceived
by the subtle devices of the enemy, for Christ has said that the signs and
wonders wrought by these deceivers will be so great that if it were possible
they shall deceive the very elect. {ST, July 4, 1895 par. 2}
Of the elect, John
writes: "But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all
things." "And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before
them, and the sheep follow him; for they know his voice. And a stranger will
they not follow, but will flee from him; for they know not the voice of
strangers." Those who have heard the voice of God proclaiming his holy
law on Mount Sinai, in the hearing of the people, know his voice, and when
men claiming to be led by Christ, and professing to be entirely sanctified, assert that the law of God is abolished,
and ridicule and make light of the great moral standard, and set at naught
the testimony of prophets and apostles, we can confidently say that we
hear not in their teachings the voice of the true Shepherd. The true
Shepherd's voice has been heard, bearing a different testimony. Jesus says:
"Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets; I am not
come to destroy, but to fulfill. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and
earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in nowise pass from the law, till all
be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least
commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the
kingdom of heaven; but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be
called great in the kingdom of heaven." The voice that magnifies the law
of God we recognize as the voice of the true Shepherd; but we know that those
who would make of no effect the commandments of God, are false shepherds, who
would exalt tradition above the commandments of Jehovah. {ST, July 4, 1895
par. 3}
Note by Ron: According to the doctrine of the new movement SDA
church on the human nature and flesh of Christ, we cannot overcome, so they
may as well “...assert that the law of
God is abolished, and ridicule and make light of the great moral standard,
and set at naught the testimony of prophets and apostles...” That is the
only logical conclusion to their false teaching. End Ron’s note.
“John writes:
"I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because
ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth. Who is a liar but he that
denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father
and the Son." There are those who claim to have great light, who say
that they have communication with the spirits of the dead, who deny the
divinity of Christ, and in so doing deny the Father, whom Christ represented
on earth. "Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father;
[but] he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also." The class
which denies the Father and the Son is rapidly increasing in the world, and
the name given to this class by the Bible is antichrist. There are many who
have their names upon the church records, who claims to possess superior
piety, and yet should Christ appear among them, they would rebuke the Son of
God. There are men who profess to be
ministers of the Gospel who are teaching heresy, and deceiving many, and
leading thousands in the way of apostasy. {ST, July 4, 1895 par. 4}
Note by Ron: This is exactly what new movement Adventism does
when it teaches an antichrist view on the human nature and flesh of Christ.
So it is the new movement that “has gone out from us because they were not of
us.” LeRoy E. Froom was not of us. A Catholic woman identified Froom and Roy
Allen Anderson as Catholic priests—See part II of this video series by Pastor
Bill Hughes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5IPwibXkws
End note.
“But John writes to
the true followers of Christ, saying: "Let
that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning
shall remain in you, ye shall continue in the Son, and in the Father. And
this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life." We
have here a most precious promise, which will be fulfilled to those who let
the truth abide in them. Then hold fast to the truth, and be not beguiled
from steadfast adherence to the truth by any of the arts of the deceiver.
"These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you.
But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need
not that any man teach you; but as the same anointing teacheth you of all
things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall
abide in him. And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall
appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.
If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth
righteousness is born of him." Our character is to be moulded after the
character of Christ. O what humiliation he endured in our behalf! While in
this world he lived a life of obedience to the commandments of God, leaving
us an example that we should follow in his steps. We must wait for God to
reveal his plan, that our life may be the unveiling of the character of
Christ. We can be sanctified only as we render obedience to the truth as it
is unfolded to us. We cannot live in conscious disobedience of any precept of
God, and not be on the losing side. We need to behold the character of
Christ, and by beholding become changed into his image. {ST, July 4, 1895
par. 5}
Ron’s Note: It is our first love, the original pillar,
landmark doctrines of pioneer Adventism that we are to abide in. All who do
not abide in such are those who “....went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been
of us, they would [no doubt] have continued with us: but [they went out],
that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.” End Ron’s
Note:
"Behold, what
manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the
sons of God; therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him
not." "But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become
the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name." "For as
many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. For ye have
not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the
spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit itself beareth
witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God; and if children, then
heirs; heirs of God, and joint heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer
with him, that we may be also glorified together. For I reckon that the
sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory
which shall be revealed in us." {ST, July 4, 1895 par. 6}
John cannot find
adequate words wherein to describe the amazing love of God to sinful man; but
he calls upon all to behold the love of God revealed in the gift of his only
begotten Son. Through the perfection of the sacrifice given for the guilty
race, those who believe in Christ, coming unto him, may be saved from eternal
ruin. Christ was one with the Father, yet when sin entered our world through
Adam's transgression, he was willing to step down from the exaltation of one
who was equal with God, who dwelt in light unapproachable by humanity, so
full of glory that no man could behold his face and live, and submit to
insult, mockery, suffering, pain, and death in order to answer the claims of
the immutable law of God, and make a way of escape for the transgressor by
his death and righteousness. This was the work which his Father gave him to
do, and those who accept Christ, relying wholly upon his merits, are made the
adopted sons and daughters of God, are heirs of God and joint heirs with
Jesus Christ. "Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon
us, that we should be called the sons of God." Let no one be so deluded
by the enemy as to think that it is a condescension for any man, however
talented or learned or honored, to accept of Christ. Every human being should
look to heaven with reverence and gratitude, and exclaim with amazement,
"Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we
should be called the sons of God." Ellen G. White, {ST, July 4, 1895
par. 7}
