As a member of the SDA church, I find this video accurate. Many other videos of evangelicals about the SDA church portray it as one homogenous group with crazy theology. But actually our church as well as our leadership is pretty divided resulting in our official positions being rather broad and ambiguous on many topics. This video does not give a superficial look at the official position, but gives also some insight in the actual doctrinal situation of our church.
@Joel Villarreal As I already stated, our official beliefs are foggy on many topics. Do we believe in a material Godhead or immaterial Godhead? Conservative Leaders believe Father, Son and Holy Spirit to be bodily beings, liberal theologians say they are immaterial hypostases. Are we pro-life or pro-choice? Our guidelines say we are pro-life, but abortions have been happening in our hospitals. Is our view on justification in line with Luther or not? Liberals say yes, conservatives say no. Are we pro women's ordination or not? General Conference said no, but our German Conferences ordained them anyway. LGT: yes or no? There are LGT sermons by Ted Wilson, but they majority of theologians (even conservatives I'd say) reject it. Are some of Ellen White's statements debatable? Liberals theologians say yes, conservative theologians say no. These are no minor theological questions, these are big ones - and our leadership is divided over them. The conservatives need the liberals to avoid being called a cult, the liberals need the conservatives for the growth of the church. That's what holds the church together. From my point of view, this situation is special and worth pointing out.
@Joel Villarreal Look, I've never pledged that vow. I don't let any man or institution dictate me what I must believe. I'm a member of the SDA church, but I disagree with some of our official positions. I did not become a member because of the the official positions of the church, but because of my loving congregation where I live. They knew about my believes and accepted me nevertheless. You are right in that we have official positions that are unorthodox. You can criticise them. But don't claim that every member must be in agreement with all of them. You can be part of a body (church, institution, organisation, party...) without agreeing with everything it officially stands for. The practise in the SDA church is not the same as among JWs or some communist parties. Having that said, I do accept your enragement over my adherence to that Ellen White quote, for I do believe it carries divine authority. Nevertheless, I don't think that Ellen White's position should be part of the fundemantals for they should be solely biblical. She wasn't mentioned in the old fundamentals of the church at her time.
@Joel Villarreal That's a very communist understanding of affiliation you have. Concerning EGW: She's not claiming be perfect, she's claiming inspiration for her writings. I can understand your sceptisism. There are 2 things to do to check her claim: 1. Search in the bible if it promises the gift of prophesy for future events. 2. If 1. is correct, study her writings and check them with the bible.
@Joel Villarreal Biblical texts also borrow from other sources that sometimes are even non-canonical (Letter of Jude - Book of Enoch). If the used texts are true, why shouldn't they be used? The practise is not new, for instance: Luke and Matthew borrowed heavily from Mark. The deciding factor is not if her borrowing was in line with the standards of her time, but if it was in line with the standards of other inspired writings. Can you show me a quotation of her where she denied using somebody else's work? You gave a statement of a third person stating that she "appears to have denied her borrowing", that's rather vague. That the statement has an Adventist background does not automatically give it credibility, for we have many leaders in our church who have an interest in marginalising her writings.
@Joel Villarreal You shared 2 quotes of her. In none of them she denied using other sources. 3SM 49.7: She is referring to how inspiration works. God does not dictate every word (that's how Muslims believe Mohammed received the Quran). The inspired person is impressed by the spirit, yet has to find the right words to express the received light. She does not deny here to have ever used already existing texts. That would have been very weird - her writings are full of bible quotes without reference and quotation marks. 3SM 52.2: "Heretical" is referring to doctrinal statements. Concerning her historical statements her son wrote: "We will make a great mistake if we lay aside historical research and endeavor to settle historical questions by the use of Mother's books as an authority when she herself does not wish them to be used in any such way" (W. C. White to S. N. Haskell, October 31, 1912). Small historical inaccuracies are no dealbreakers for inspired writings. There are some diverging historical statements in the Bible also: 2 Kings 25:8 - Jeremiah 52:12.
Went to an Adventist school from 8th-12th grade. Great people, even though as a neo-charismatic (Vineyard), my family and I disagreed on several points, soul sleep and annihilationism being the main ones. Still, everyone there loved Jesus and were doing their best to teach, so I give the Adventists major props
So now, because you are another now and you know that they are teaching the truth why are you not joining them and follow the right teaching of the bible?

WARNING: Ellen White teaches Jesus and Satan are brothers, that is not Scriptural, but blasphemous, satan was created, Jesus was begotten by the Father by the power of the Holy Spirit as HIs Son, God in the flesh, to redeem the world from sin. Read Walter Rey's "The White Lie' , she stole word for word paragraphs from other writers claiming it as her own misleading the people to think she was greatly inspired...she was, but not by God. Satan always weaves lies within the truth. Satan fooled Eve by saying 'Did God really say...?' Never follow a man or woman, always seek the Truth from God's very Word and test everything against the Scriptures to see if it is true or not. Most SDAs hold EW as high as the Holy Scriptures, this was warned against in 1 Cor 3. She was a false prophet, her prophecies failed. She always had excuses, but God 'always' warns His people before He punishes...Ellen gave no warnings that His people were in error...the day she prophesied Jesus would come failed to produce so she blamed and shamed her followers for not being good enough rather than lose face for being a false prophet. Stay away from SDA, I made the mistake for a year until I did further study. Read about the 'investigative Judgment' , a heretical teaching. Jesus died on the cross for our sins, then went to the right hand of the Father. You will be lured in by Ellen White's teachings that follow Scripture, but unless you compare Scriptures to her full teachings, you will get caught up in heresy, unscriptural teachings, she adds to the Scriptures which is warned against. The necessity of 'other books to be included alongside the Bible' is a common theme with cults, false teachers. Please do not be fooled. Stay away from 'all' isms and just read God's Word prayerfully and enjoy the blessed journey; use a lexicon; bible study tool for word and phrase searches; read history books for historical and cultural purposes, not commentaries unless they are strictly telling you where to go in the Bible to find further teachings on a subject...which many of them fail to share all of them but only those that support their bias. This is why we have so many isms, so many denominations as we aren't keeping our eyes on our Savior's teachings. Find a teacher who sticks to the Scriptures and not a founder. The reason we have so many isms is due to men follow other men's doctrines contrary to the full teaching of the Scriptures. The Bible has all that you need, no other books by men or women are necessary. Paul taught to be good Bereans, to search the Scriptures to know if what is being taught is of God. Steer clear of teachings that contradict God's Word...such as much of Ellen White's teachings. She adds to His Scriptures, there is no Investigative Judgment that she teaches, Jesus did it all on the cross. Don't be misled away from the True God in Heaven Who created you and all of creation. Read the Bible daily, book by book, verse by verse, study to show yourself approved and share the gospel with those that are lost. Read prayerfully daily to know in whom you believe. Jesus Christ is the Son of God, died for our sins though He was perfect, rose again on the third day in fulfilment of the Scriptures and desires that all follow Him as their Savior and Lord until the very end, doing the will of the Father in Heaven...those the love Him will follow His commandments, true love will have works supporting their belief. God is gracious and just, Jesus is coming again to punish those rejecting Him and living in opposition to His teachings. Ellen White goes way off the Scriptures, she is 'not' a prophetess, she adds to Scripture and that is heresy. Steve Gregg is one of a few teachers that I know who teach strictly from the Bible. Some of the worst teachers are those that went to seminary created by a founder of an ism (Catholicism; Calvinism; Arminianism; Ellen White; the list is long...they get parts right and parts wrong by not including 'all' of the teachings on a subject, choosing just those that support their ideology. The Scriptures were meant to be a life time of learning to mold and shape the person into the image of Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit and our faithfulness to Jesus Christ as we are tested in this life. God is gracious to forgive a truly repentant heart

Wow very good job. As an SDA I really wish your video got more attention that those of the critics that put everything out of context. May God bless you and your ministry.
I was raised SDA, became an atheist in my teens, and am now looking to convert to Catholicism in adulthood. This video reminded me why I ultimately turned away from Christianity altogether in the first place. It’s hard to undo all of the teachings you’re taught to believe in from an early age. It still feels strange. I’m grateful to be able to gain a new perspective on Christianity years later, one that makes much more sense to me.
Wow!! I am SO impressed by your research on this video and the accuracy of your research. This video must have taken you a lot of time. I am an SDA Bible teacher and I will send this video to my mail list of SDA friends. We can all learn more about our own denomination from your well-research, unbiased video. I have watched many of your videos, and the quality of your work is consistently accurate and amazing. Thank you for your ministry.
David, thanks a lot! This video did take a long time to make. I think you will enjoy a video coming out in a few months that also took forever to make, comparing SDA with several other sabbath-keeping groups. I'm glad to have you as a viewer.
@@ReadyToHarvest I've already enjoyed your comparison of our church to the Baptist church and sent that out to my mail list as well. I look forward to your upcoming video comparing sabbath-keeping churches. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this. Often, people attack or mock our beliefs without fully understanding them. They frequently label us a cult. You presented this information in a fair and detailed way. I truly appreciate it! This is why I am SDA Praise God!!! 🙌🏾 PS: I'd like to know your personal thoughts/beliefs about our religion. Where do you agree or disagree? Care to share?
The local SDA members around here are really nice. :) I met them at a Sunday farmer’s market they have, and today I went to a SDA church service. I was really relieved that, as a Catholic, I share fundamental Christian beliefs with them, like Christ atoning for our sins through His death. Of course, as a Catholic, I don’t agree with some of the beliefs about the Catholic Church. I think some of it isn’t historically correct. It seems like the SDA theology is anti-Catholic, but SDA members never treat me in an ill way for my faith. I appreciate that, and I pray so much for the unity of all Christians. 😊
This is true. However, it does not say what you are implying it does. It says do not let anyone judge you on HOW you worship on the Sabbath. It does NOT say do not let anyone judge you on not worshipping on the Sabbath, discarding the Ten Commandments, or picking some other day as an alternative.
@@davidswiger3324 so no Christian is to keep the Ten Commandments? Did you just hear yourself? You just said Christians can lie, steal, be oathbreakers, sexually promiscuous, etc etc and still be Christians. You are a heretic. Luke 16:17 - And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail. Romans 7:12 - Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good. 1 Timothy 1:8-10 - But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully; Romans 3:31 Do we then overthrow the law by this faith? By no means! On the contrary, we uphold the law.
@@davidswiger3324 no, I'm not. There is one Ten Commandments, ten laws that show God's character. You do not get to pick and choose. God made the law, not you.
Their theology on keeping the law is a distinction w/o a difference. They say: You aren’t saved by keeping the law, but keeping the law is necessary for salvation. Which means that in practice you must keep the law to be saved, whether it merits it or not. So in practice/de facto it is salvation thru works.
What is Jesus talking about? John 14:15 John 14:23 Why does a Christian obey? Because the Christian is forced, manipulated into obedience? Or is obedience the result of research, reason, and genuine love for the law of God spoke of in Psalms? It's a tragedy when individuals have obedience forced on them. Love is not felt. They flee from such systems. Just as James speaks of, faith without works is dead. It's not faith. Would a murderer claim salvation and murder again? Would a liar claim salvation and continue to lie? Would a drunk claim he has been cured by the grace of Jesus and continue to drink? The problem Christ came to solve was sin in man. If you're sick and the doctor's medicine doesn't work...then what? Vast majority won't understand this. It doesn't fit their view of atonement due to their level of moral decision making.
@Joel Villarreal Grasping at straws now I see, because you don't have the maturity to understand and I'm sorry but I cannot understand it for you. Go back to school.
@Joel Villarreal I am glad your trying to make some sort of reasoned argument. It's sad you fail miserably. Some people just never learned to think properly. Try thinking about your thinking while you're thinking to make your thinking better.
@Joel Villarreal Beautiful quote from Great Controversy p. 640. Too bad Joel don't understand it. I'll be praying for Joel. He was hurt and is obsessed with EGW material he doesn't understand. God is love. Go figure out what that means.
"Ellen G. White" Hummm... Paul: "...but I do not allow a woman to teach nor to exercise authority over man, but to be in quietness...". Not very quiet was she? Same sort of thing happened with Mary Baker Eddy.
ACTS 20 v 7 the believers gathered for breaking of bread and worship NOT ON SATURERDAY the 7 th day look at Romans 14 v 5 , Paul had no quarrel with sabbath worshipers or worshipers on any other day, Paul said let every man be persuaded in his own mind. Christ is our sabbath rest, we keep His laws because He dwells IN us read 1 John for a good understanding of this

Thank you. As an SDA member myself, I can truly say you did a fantastic job of laying out all the important details without putting your opinion in there, which is something I’ve not seen anyone do before. Even your nonverbal communication and tone you were neutral and I appreciated it. You presented many things that showed the nuance of the beliefs and I would share this with anyone who asked what we believe.
Thanks Eduardo! I'm glad to get that confirmation. It took me a long time to prepare for this video and so it's good to know from SDA members that it's accurate.
That's what makes his channel so great. He just presents what that particular faith teaches and does not distort it in favor of his own personal views. He just gives you facts and let's people decide for themselves what to believe. He is fair and that is refreshing.
This 1h video was clearer and more helpful explaining doctrine than all the bible studies and seminars I attended while growing up in SDA. Thanks so much for all of your videos!

Wonderful and comprehensive overview of the Seventh-day Adventist church system today! As far as I can see, all its teachings are directly attributed to Bible basis and do not revolve around a One person Bias as many detractors try to imply.
Read Book of HEBREWS THE OLD TESTAMENT is the.

AMEN SO BE IT ❤🙏🙏🙏
The Seventh Day Adventists support a very advanced health system with clinics, as well as manufacturing very healthy foods, etc. I was treated in one such clinic, and it was extremely auspicious. I want to publicly thank the SDA for their healing activities.

Think for yourself my friend, test the spirit and these writings EGW has. She is a false prophet
Wow, this is a biggie! Thank you for all the work you put into this video. Even though it's long, it's very thorough and quite enlightening. I live in a community with a large SDA population, so this is very relevant to me.❤️
@@dawnmichelle4403 where in the Bible does it say that Jesus is Michael the archangel? Where in the Bible does it say that Sunday worship is the mark of the beast? Where does it say in the Bible that Satan will bear our sins? And and what is this investigative judgment? 2 peter 1: 20 Knowing this first that no prophecy of scripture is of any private interpretation
I have been waiting for this video thank you so much for your thoroughness and unbiased approach. I have family members who fell away from the faith overall because of bad experiences with the SDA and others who are strong Christians, so I knew they had some different beliefs, but this helped me make sense of many things.
@Joel Villarreal I was the one who called it bad experiences, but to be honest, they did have doctrinal issues. When they found out about the plagery and racism in Ellen White's writings, it caused them to discount the Bible too, unfortunately. Also the church they attended was very strict on so many rules, not going to the movie theater, no makeup, jewelery, no caffeine, including chocolate etc. and instead of holding these as personal convictions were requirements and could face church discipline. My grandma would hide the coffee maker when other church members came over, and it seemed really weird. But other family members do seem like strong Christians and happy in their denomination. I have never been SDA but am a commited Christian, so I was always confused at these discrepancies without my own personal experience.
@@laurengarcia1023 Curious about racism. Ellen supported emancipation of the slaves and supported social justice of the time. Special efforts were taken to provide equal opportunity in sharing the gospel. As to plagiarism, I heard it explained that different standards applied in the the 1800s when borrowing from other source material; it would be unfair to judge works written in that period using current rules of citation. That said, I’m no literary historian. Sounds like the Adventist families you encountered were definitely on the “strict” side. A lot has changed in the last 50 yrs. More emphasis in having a relationship with Jesus and in response to this relationship and spending time with our Creator, we follow His teachings and become like Him. Where and how we interpret and draw lines on beliefs may differ, but I think all sincere Christians, Adventists included, desire to adhere to God’s teachings. To those outside the denomination, it often looks like legalism-but ideally adherence in certain areas mentioned is a natural response in the context of a loving relationship to please God.
Can you do a video over the Seventh Day Baptists? I know they aren’t a large , or particularly well known, Baptist group, but I think it would make for an interesting video.
Interestingly it was Seventh Day Baptist members of the Millerite movement that brought the Sabbath notion into the SDA Church. Ellen White was a false prophetess though. It’s sad to know this cult got so big while the Seventh Day Baptists stayed so small
@@narrowistheway77 the seventh day Baptists are orthodox (from what I herd, many don’t teach that keeping the sabbath is necessary for salvation and don’t consider other Christian churches as apostate for observing the Lord’s Day), and are believers in Jesus. The SDA church, although I won’t necessarily call it a cult (expect for the conservative side), is an anti-Christ, anti-Gospel movement and evangelicals must address them.
@@kleineente6475 For starters The Bible is a great source! It exposes the heresies of the SDA organization. What heresies one may ask? My short list: HERESY: That Jesus Christ did not REPLACE the Law of Moses with the Law of Himself on the cross. HERESY: That the Sabbath is NOT merely a shadow pointing to Christ, as the shadow of a palm tree at sunrise in the desert points straight to the palm tree. HERESY: That Jesus Christ did NOT sit down at the right hand of our Father in heaven above and thus complete the Investigative Judgment one thousand eight hundred years BEFORE October 22, 1844. HERESY: That Ellen G. White is the Holy Spirit of Prophecy. HERESY: That Jesus Christ is not 100% God, but something less, such as our "elder brother with sinful flesh" or Michael the archangel or "our example" rather than our savior.
This is a very good overview of Seventh-day Adventism, Joshua. I appreciate the unbiased way in which you approach your presentations. As an outsider looking in you definitely have done a lot of homework, to dig into the details of our faith, as well as divisions within the SDA denomination(like over LGT, original sin, and women’s ordination), and more nuanced matters of church governance and policy. With some more deep study/reading into original material in its full context, as well as further direct dialogue with Adventists, you may become the leading “evangelical” expert on us, SDAs. It is not infrequent that we, as SDAs, feel misrepresented and maligned in the way outsiders, cult watchers, and disgruntled ex-Adventists describe us. I think most of us, within the church could agree that your presentation here is not only well documented, but presented in a fair and unbiased manner. Thank you for seeking to represent us fairly and honestly, as a true Christian should. I am praying that you will persevere in maintaining a respectful, humble, and truthful spirit as you go forward in your life, ministry, and study.

I believe I told you before you uploaded this that I appreciate what you were doing and wanted to thank you somehow. I have some nuanced views that differ from this video and I've come to learn even more after the video was posted, BUT for the middle of the road Adventist I think you did great.
I have never seen such an accurate and fair minded video essay on the Seventh-day Adventist Church. I keep thinking, does this man have a personal affiliation with the SDA church? If not, remarkably well researched. I’m going to see what else you research…if this piece is any indication, you certainly “do your homework!”
Thanks Frances! No, I am not affiliated with the SDA church in any way. I do my best to accurately portray people in every video I make. I'm glad you found the channel!
@@ReadyToHarvest but isn't ur wife a big believer of the seventh day Adventist? I thought I read it somewhere in the comments section of one of your other videos.
Wow, thanks Jeremy! Massive respect to you and gratitude for the many hours of thorough research you have done on this topic. Also, I'm grateful for the unbiased and neutral viewpoint you have maintained throughout the presentation. :)
Your videos are all so professionally done and so without self-reference that I'm not even sure of your name. Thank you. I would love to see you explain how you are able to give such a fair view to each denomination while remaining completely faithful to your own particular denomination. Maybe a video on what it is that you find most riveting about your own specific denominational loyalty?
Hello Reuel, I'm Joshua. I may make a video like that someday. It is easier to present things neutrally and have them be viewed neutrally the less I focus on my own beliefs. I am glad to hear you've found the videos to be helpful.
@@ReadyToHarvest I’m so curious given all of your research what your personal beliefs are. My guess is that most Christians don’t do a lot of research into the varying interpretations of scripture before settling on their beliefs
@@ReadyToHarvest Thank you Joshua! I absolutely love your videos and appreciate all the work you put in. I am a convert to Judaism from the LDS church if you can believe it - so I have enormous interest in the various denominations. I wish you were in South Africa, I can't think of anyone I'd rather have a cup of coffee and chat with. Thanks again and wishing you all good things for 2022.
@@reuelmelville5232 That is an interesting journey. I would like to visit South Africa one day. Future goal, I guess. I've enjoyed learning about viewers around the globe.
You've done a great and valuable service to all of us who take the Holy Scripture Seriously ; although quite lengthy yet very thorough and well researched , I tip my hat to you and everybody else who has had a part in putting this together. Keep up the great work indeed . I look forward to your next videos. To God be the Glory ! 😎

As someone who has attended Adventist churches my entire life this was a very solid presentation. I even learned a few things. It would have been nice in a couple areas, namely going out to eat on sabbath, jewelry, sports in school if there was polling information to contrast with the official church position. I think there’s a number of areas where the average sda church goer may not fully align with what the church manual says. But this was a very thorough and fair presentation.
@@Nepthu Ordinary SDA members don't go to restaurants on the Sabbath, so that's too much to ask of a pastor? "Practice what you preach" is not a thing anymore?
@Joel Villarreal she's actually considered deuterocanonical at best. She herself always pointed to the Bible as being above her own writings. I'm sure there's Adventists who give her a higher status but she's never been equivalent to the Bible in Adventist doctrine. Rather, her works point people to the Bible.
@Joel Villarreal brother I admire your determination to get rid of and denounce false prophets. It's one I share. But it's my sincere belief, and the belief of my church, that Ellen White was not a false prophet. There's almost this unspoken taboo against prophets in the modern world, when at no point did God say Prophets would cease to be after Jesus. In fact, Revelation emphasises the fact that there will be prophets in the last days. However, despite our differences of opinion on this matter, you've been unable to show me that Ellen White is considered equal to the Bible. In fact, the very fundamental belief you just quoted, number 18, specifies "They also make clear that the Bible is the standard by which all teaching and experience must be tested." Ellen White's writings point to the Bible. Throughout her life she commended it above her own works. I think you'd be hard pressed to find an Adventist teaching that her works are equal to or greater than the Bible - this has never been a teaching of the church. The church believes that she is evidence of the spirit of prophecy among us in the last days. Prophecy is important and will play a role in the last days... but salvation remains through grace alone. Ellen White is not the path to Salvation. That path can be found through Christ alone. Thus, she is of secondary importance. Her role is that of any prophet - a messenger, designed to point people back to the Bible.
@Joel Villarreal So far, Ellen White, absolutely. But your argument seems to be that this means we're placing her ABOVE scripture, which I'm pointing out that we do not, and never have. Revelation 12:17 says "And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ." Revelation 19:10 points out that the "testimony of Jesus" is the Spirit of Prophecy. So yeah, we believe that it's clear the Spirit of Prophecy will play a highly important role in the end times, and that there will be prophets in the last days. An example of one such prophet was Ellen G. White, who was, as fundamental belief 18 indicates, tested against the Bible to see if she was authentic. So I do not deny this. A part of being a Seventh Day Adventist is accepting that the gift of Prophecy will play a role in the last days, and has already done so in the ministry of Ellen White. But I'm still unsure what makes you think this puts her above the Bible? It absolutely doesn't. Prophecy has an important role yet to play as "the testimony of Jesus Christ" but such testimony exists solely to point people back to Jesus, not away. Adventist Sabbath School lessons study the Bible, not Ellen White. Adventist sermons must point to the Bible, not just Ellen White. She is not used in isolation from the Bible, and her works very much play an important role, but one that is undoubtedly secondary to the gospel message. The Bible, by Ellen White's own wishes, was to be the only basis by which the church was to be run. Even in her lifetime, she didn't have unilateral power in the church. Theological matters were decided by Bible Scholars, and Ellen White's own claims were then studied to see if they could be found in the Bible. I'm not denying that Ellen White is an important part of Seventh Day Adventism. I'm simply pointing out that it's erroneous to say Adventists place her works above or equal to the Bible. The Bible is the centre of Seventh Day Adventist theology, it always has been, and it hopefully always will be.
@@brettweier9504 EGW's writings are a "continuing source of authority...." which makes her the Pope-ette of the SDA church. Her confused, self-contradictory ramblings are the sole foundation of the defective doctrines of Adventism. Adventist leadership has known her writings to be historically and doctrinally unreliable since the 1919 Bible Conference, but they hid the notes of those meetings.
@Joel Villarreal Mate sorry for the delay but you've got to understand that I have a life outside youtube comments :P A part of membership in our church is accepting the spirit of prophecy, for sure. It's not a part of salvation though. Salvation is by grace alone. In terms of the Bible though, I can see you think you've got a real "GOTCHA" with this... but I'm not convinced you do. Listening to the prophets of God is important, but so is testing them for the truth - our guide by which to test them is the Bible. Even by your own logic that we must listen to Ellen White, we'd need to listen to her when she says, multiple times, that the Bible is far more important than her own writings. Ellen White described her own writings: "The Lord desires you to study your Bibles. He has not given any additional light to take the place of His Word. This light is to bring confused minds to His Word, which, if eaten and digested, is as the lifeblood of the soul. Then good works will be seen as light shining in darkness." (Ellen White to Sanderson, Brother and Sister, Letter 130, 1901 (Silver Spring, MD: Ellen G. White Estate, September 27, 1901). Her works are intended to point people back to the Bible. In terms of her works establishing doctrines outside of or in addition to the Bible, she says: "Lay Sister White to one side. Do not quote my words again as long as you live until you can obey the Bible. When you make the Bible your food, your meat and your drink, when you make its principles the elements of your character, you will know better how to receive counsel from God. I exalt the precious Word before you today. Do not repeat what I have said, saying, “Sister White said this,” and “Sister White said that.” Find out what the Lord God of Israel says, and then do what He commands. Christ said, “I must work the works of Him that sent Me." (Ellen White, Talk/“I would prefer not to speak today …,” Manuscript 43, 1901 (Silver Spring, MD: Ellen G. White Estate, April 01, 1901), par. 26) "...do not make prominent, and quote, that which Sister White has written, as authority to sustain your positions. To do this will not increase faith in the testimonies. Bring your evidences, clear and plain, from the Word of God. A “Thus saith the Lord” is the strongest testimony you can possibly present to the people. Let none be educated to look to Sister White, but to the mighty God." (Ellen White to Colcord, Brother and Sister, Letter 11, 1984 (Silver Spring, MD: Ellen G. White Estate, January 16, 1894), par. 4.) So by your own logic, if the church is obligated to listen to Ellen White, we need to listen when she says that the Bible is the greatest authority - that we should focus on it first and foremost, even to the exclusion of her works if necessary. Again, as I've said multiple times, the writings or person of Ellen G. White are not considered equal to scripture. She was an inspired woman who helped point the church back to God. She was not, and never claimed to be, a replacement to, or extra book for, the Bible.
Very true. Agree. I think what confused people was all the signs the Bible speaks of as signals of the end. We likely will see the end coming by those signs.
@@Hannodb1961 Thanks for responding. You mention the second coming, judgement day, and the coming of the kingdom of God. Do all three of those things happen at the same time and what date has been set declaring the day and hour?
@@drusauza8291 Considering that Jesus says that all people will simultaneously see Him return on the clouds, it is not clear to me that time and space as we know it will continue to exist when the second coming happens. I don't believe the final judgement will happen in time and space, as that would take millennia, and require a huge area, as everyone will be judged in public. So to ask whether it all going to happen "at the same time" is a bit superfluous. But yes, it will happen in that order: The second coming, the rising of the dead, the final judgement, then eternity on the new Earth or hell.
Thank you for your dedication to fact finding and presenting in such an objective and honest way…. May your efforts be a Blessing to God, and those who seek an earthly fellowship that aligns with the Spirits conviction within us to seek God and not forsaken fellowship with others who are on the same journey.
WARNING: Ellen White teaches Jesus and Satan are brothers, that is not Scriptural, but blasphemous, satan was created, Jesus was begotten by the Father by the power of the Holy Spirit as HIs Son, God in the flesh, to redeem the world from sin. Read Walter Rey's "The White Lie' , she stole word for word paragraphs from other writers claiming it as her own misleading the people to think she was greatly inspired...she was, but not by God. Satan always weaves lies within the truth. Satan fooled Eve by saying 'Did God really say...?' Never follow a man or woman, always seek the Truth from God's very Word and test everything against the Scriptures to see if it is true or not. Most SDAs hold EW as high as the Holy Scriptures, this was warned against in 1 Cor 3. She was a false prophet, her prophecies failed. She always had excuses, but God 'always' warns His people before He punishes...Ellen gave no warnings that His people were in error...the day she prophesied Jesus would come failed to produce so she blamed and shamed her followers for not being good enough rather than lose face for being a false prophet. Stay away from SDA, I made the mistake for a year until I did further study. Read about the 'investigative Judgment' , a heretical teaching. Jesus died on the cross for our sins, then went to the right hand of the Father. You will be lured in by Ellen White's teachings that follow Scripture, but unless you compare Scriptures to her full teachings, you will get caught up in heresy, unscriptural teachings, she adds to the Scriptures which is warned against. The necessity of 'other books to be included alongside the Bible' is a common theme with cults, false teachers. Please do not be fooled. Stay away from 'all' isms and just read God's Word prayerfully and enjoy the blessed journey; use a lexicon; bible study tool for word and phrase searches; read history books for historical and cultural purposes, not commentaries unless they are strictly telling you where to go in the Bible to find further teachings on a subject...which many of them fail to share all of them but only those that support their bias. This is why we have so many isms, so many denominations as we aren't keeping our eyes on our Savior's teachings. Find a teacher who sticks to the Scriptures and not a founder. The reason we have so many isms is due to men follow other men's doctrines contrary to the full teaching of the Scriptures. The Bible has all that you need, no other books by men or women are necessary. Paul taught to be good Bereans, to search the Scriptures to know if what is being taught is of God. Steer clear of teachings that contradict God's Word...such as much of Ellen White's teachings. She adds to His Scriptures, there is no Investigative Judgment that she teaches, Jesus did it all on the cross. Don't be misled away from the True God in Heaven Who created you and all of creation. Read the Bible daily, book by book, verse by verse, study to show yourself approved and share the gospel with those that are lost. Read prayerfully daily to know in whom you believe. Jesus Christ is the Son of God, died for our sins though He was perfect, rose again on the third day in fulfilment of the Scriptures and desires that all follow Him as their Savior and Lord until the very end, doing the will of the Father in Heaven...those the love Him will follow His commandments, true love will have works supporting their belief. God is gracious and just, Jesus is coming again to punish those rejecting Him and living in opposition to His teachings. Ellen White goes way off the Scriptures, she is 'not' a prophetess, she adds to Scripture and that is heresy. Steve Gregg is one of a few teachers that I know who teach strictly from the Bible. Some of the worst teachers are those that went to seminary created by a founder of an ism (Catholicism; Calvinism; Arminianism; Ellen White; the list is long...they get parts right and parts wrong by not including 'all' of the teachings on a subject, choosing just those that support their ideology. The Scriptures were meant to be a life time of learning to mold and shape the person into the image of Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit and our faithfulness to Jesus Christ as we are tested in this life. God is gracious to forgive a truly repentant heart
I would like to add a comment about the Millerites and "the Great Disappointment". Seventh-day Adventists tend to view the situation about the Great Disappointment as being parallel to disappointment of the Disciples after the crucifixion: 1) Both groups had a false expectation as to what was going to happen in common with their culture at the time. 2) Both groups had some things that they were correct in, and some that were wrong. 3) Both groups were greatly disappointed. 4) Both groups gained a new understanding afterwards that explained why they were disappointed. 5) Both groups were maligned afterwards because of the history of their false expection. 6) Both groups grew, despite opposition, to world-wide proportions.

People went bankrupt, starved, committed suicide, murder/suicide, committed to insane asylums, it was just horrible, not to mention the reaction of all those who never subscribed to this nonsense. May God have Mercy on all the souls involved in this heinous plot,
This is a very fair and accurate description of Seventh-day Adventist beliefs. I would mention that so-called last generation theology (also called sinless perfectionism) is definitely a minority view among North American Seventh-day Adventists and has never been part of the SDA Fundamental Beliefs, although those who hold to LGT tend to be vocal and critical of those who do not.

@@borisvandruff7532 God instituted the Sabbath at creation as a day of rest to set aside worldly cares and to spend time with Him. Where in the Bible does it say that He changed the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday? In Malachi 3:6 it says “For I am the Lord, I change not…” The Lord wrote the 10 Commandments with His finger in stone because He didn’t want things changed. Out of all of the commandments, the fourth is the ONLY one where it says Remember. The reason why Christ said “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath” is because the Pharisees had so many restrictions in place that keeping the Sabbath was a burden for many. For the Jews it was was a works based faith. Christ was trying to tell them that is not how it’s supposed to be.

With your unbias style, I really wish you'd slowly go through Thoughts from the Mount of Blessing & Christ Object Lessons by EGW writing notes and making a genuine series of videos on what she really taught. Because such an unbias series of videos would be a great basis and source to judge her other writings. People so often just go straight to this or that controversy without knowing what she really wanted the church to know. The two books are free online and the audiobooks are freely available and wouldn't take but a weekend to listen to.
Thank you so much for this video with all my heart! I feel convicted to convert, I am a Pentecostal Christian, and felt there was more. I don't fully understand why The Lord would say no make up or jewelry or no coffee....I need more clear direction from our Jesus regarding this. I love The Lord so much and need help giving these things up, but I am WILLING to keep the 4th commandment!
I honestly think it is that God wants us to have a spirit of humility and if we are so focused on the things of this world, regardless of whatever that is then we are not able to truly focus on the things that He would have us focus on. I do know of Adventists that wear jewelry and makeup, but it is done modestly. And I think that is what God really wants for us, to have that quiet humility so that we can focus on living our best life serving Him.
(Sorry for the VERY, VERY long "comment". But I believe it NEEDS to be espoused) Now.. "What is the Seventh-day Adventist Church?' Yes, what is that? And what day of the Week? Hum? Many could say this: Muslim's worship on Friday, the Jew's worship on Saturday and Christian's it's on Sunday (of more them)! Why? And is it Wrong? Hum? Will God be angered? Hum? Now consider this...God ('circa 6,000 yrs ago) created a universe in 6 days. And the rest on the seventh day! Right? And throughout most scriptures are have "7th's". And, Rev has 54 Seventh's. Wow! Now... Did God, ever name the days of the week? Hum?? But Jesus (whose name of the only True God Almighty forever) answered Sadducee this way; about the "Great Commandment"... Matthew 22:37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. Matthew 22:38 This is the first and great commandment. Matthew 22:39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Matthew 22:40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. To summarize: The Sabbath Churches; are worked up; unto only ONE Commandment! Causing them; to forget what Jesus said above. Sad, but OH so True! May Jesus have mercy... ...In any case Brethren, Please Pray OFTEN and Praise Jesus OFTEN; for He is the ONLY true "God Almighty"; there will ever have been. And may Jesus bless you and yours always.

Too bad SDA teachings are overwhelmingly contrary to Holy scripture therefore aligning themselves with what Jesus spoke against more than any sin, the traditions of men...
Your comment sound as if you've set up your own interpretation of Scripture as the only authority under heaven by which we can be saved. So sorry, I don't prescribe to the Gospel of JohnBoyDeere.
@@americanswan Stop side stepping truth by assuming wrongly what I believe and embrace biblical truth. SDA doesn't embrace biblical truth but unfortunately what Jesus the Son of the Most High God spoke against more than anything else, the "traditions of men"......
My parents were SDA but we stopped attending after they divorced. I was too young to ever really grasp the particulars of SDA history and theology. Hearing about it now is interesting, but I can't help looking at the denomination as just another in a long line of groups led astray by false prophets.
That’s the most dangerous part of this Church is the spirit of Ellen stands over them. It’s truly sad. Nothing wrong with keeping GOD’s sabbath though. GOD Bless! ❤️
@Narrow Is The Way Your parents is intelligent people who made a sound decision to follow Jesus and be a member of his church. Unfortunately the wicked one steps in and touch the family. I'm so sorry for this l, but I encouraged you to study for yourself.
I’m a Roman Catholic, but I must say out of all of the Protestant denominations I admire the Seventh-Day Adventists the most. Their commitment to the Sabbath, education and healthy-living are all incredible.
You will hear the word papacy a few times in this video. Adventist should have HUGE problems with the Papacy and Vatican, but Adventist have no problem with Catholic church members who are likely confused. There are surely some wonderful Christians in the Catholic church.
I think this sort of video is extremely tough to make because Adventist aren't well known and there are so many rumors flying around. It takes a lot of time to find the facts. This video tries to show mainstream Adventism basically and I think it does a good job of that. I have some different nuanced perspectives on issues in the video.
@Joel Villarreal I have explained this numerous times. I am not going to explain it again and again. Your anger and obsession is showing. Seek help. Your quotes will not change my mind because I have the mental capacity to determine truth without lazily relying on others to think for me.
It's unfortunate that Adventism is labeled as a cult to many, because the organization follows Ellen White. As she was one of the founders. And her teachings were copied from other sources, and was very Jewish. It started on error. The bible and the bible alone is all that is needed. Rightly divided. The bible speaks to 3 different audiences. The Jew The Gentile & The body of Christ If you teach that Jewish practices is for the Gentiles or church age, it is incorrect. the word of God is not to be used as a smorgasbord to pick and chose from it what you want. It needs to be carefully studied, rightly divided in it's correct dispensation / time period. And to look at who is the audience it is addressing. The bible is a history book. The word of God [which stands alone] Nothing added to it. And needs to be treated with respect. The church age is different to the nation of Israel's program / dispensation. Just as the bible reads. Ellen White mashed, added, and spiritualized things away. Adventists would do well to leave off Ellen White and read the bible as it says. And believe the word. The king James does NOT need anything added to it. As Christ said not to add to his word lest he reprove thee and be found a liar. Ellen White taught many Jewish principles and adopted it to Gentiles and the age of grace period / church age. Paul the apostle is for this church age. Romans to Philemon. Read whom the author is addressing, and for when.

Could you do a video on the Davidian Seventh Day Adventists founded by Victor Tasho Houteff? They are a group whose history and beliefs are not known by most people.
The Seventh Day Adventist Church was started by many different Christians that banded together during the Millerite Movement, they had a wide spectrum of Beliefs, Ellen White was originally methodist, others were baptists, others congregationalists, others just plain old simple Christians…
That's because Adventists are evangelical Protestant Christians. Granted, SDAs have some distinctive beliefs that are out of the mainstream, but they affirm all the defining doctrines of Christianity.

WARNING: Ellen White teaches Jesus and Satan are brothers, that is not Scriptural, but blasphemous, satan was created, Jesus was begotten by the Father by the power of the Holy Spirit as HIs Son, God in the flesh, to redeem the world from sin. Read Walter Rey's "The White Lie' , she stole word for word paragraphs from other writers claiming it as her own misleading the people to think she was greatly inspired...she was, but not by God. Satan always weaves lies within the truth. Satan fooled Eve by saying 'Did God really say...?' Never follow a man or woman, always seek the Truth from God's very Word and test everything against the Scriptures to see if it is true or not. Most SDAs hold EW as high as the Holy Scriptures, this was warned against in 1 Cor 3. She was a false prophet, her prophecies failed. She always had excuses, but God 'always' warns His people before He punishes...Ellen gave no warnings that His people were in error...the day she prophesied Jesus would come failed to produce so she blamed and shamed her followers for not being good enough rather than lose face for being a false prophet. Stay away from SDA, I made the mistake for a year until I did further study. Read about the 'investigative Judgment' , a heretical teaching. Jesus died on the cross for our sins, then went to the right hand of the Father. You will be lured in by Ellen White's teachings that follow Scripture, but unless you compare Scriptures to her full teachings, you will get caught up in heresy, unscriptural teachings, she adds to the Scriptures which is warned against. The necessity of 'other books to be included alongside the Bible' is a common theme with cults, false teachers. Please do not be fooled. Stay away from 'all' isms and just read God's Word prayerfully and enjoy the blessed journey; use a lexicon; bible study tool for word and phrase searches; read history books for historical and cultural purposes, not commentaries unless they are strictly telling you where to go in the Bible to find further teachings on a subject...which many of them fail to share all of them but only those that support their bias. This is why we have so many isms, so many denominations as we aren't keeping our eyes on our Savior's teachings. Find a teacher who sticks to the Scriptures and not a founder. The reason we have so many isms is due to men follow other men's doctrines contrary to the full teaching of the Scriptures. The Bible has all that you need, no other books by men or women are necessary. Paul taught to be good Bereans, to search the Scriptures to know if what is being taught is of God. Steer clear of teachings that contradict God's Word...such as much of Ellen White's teachings. She adds to His Scriptures, there is no Investigative Judgment that she teaches, Jesus did it all on the cross. Don't be misled away from the True God in Heaven Who created you and all of creation. Read the Bible daily, book by book, verse by verse, study to show yourself approved and share the gospel with those that are lost. Read prayerfully daily to know in whom you believe. Jesus Christ is the Son of God, died for our sins though He was perfect, rose again on the third day in fulfilment of the Scriptures and desires that all follow Him as their Savior and Lord until the very end, doing the will of the Father in Heaven...those the love Him will follow His commandments, true love will have works supporting their belief. God is gracious and just, Jesus is coming again to punish those rejecting Him and living in opposition to His teachings. Ellen White goes way off the Scriptures, she is 'not' a prophetess, she adds to Scripture and that is heresy. Steve Gregg is one of a few teachers that I know who teach strictly from the Bible. Some of the worst teachers are those that went to seminary created by a founder of an ism (Catholicism; Calvinism; Arminianism; Ellen White; the list is long...they get parts right and parts wrong by not including 'all' of the teachings on a subject, choosing just those that support their ideology. The Scriptures were meant to be a life time of learning to mold and shape the person into the image of Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit and our faithfulness to Jesus Christ as we are tested in this life. God is gracious to forgive a truly repentant heart
Not breathing for hours at a time. Yeah ok. 😂😂😂😂 Funny how they say the Bible is the authority and everything should be tested against it yet many of their beliefs don’t pass this test.
I have friends who are SDA. But I can't understand why the SDA is so strongly against women in ministry yet they follow religiously the ministry of Ellen White.
We're not against women in ministry. We believe pastors, elders and deacons should be men because that is what the Bible commanded. Ministry isn't limited to pastors. There is prophecy, healing, teaching, evangelising, speaking in tongues, interpretation etc. Outside of the bishopric anyone can be in the other ministries
Do they identify Christ with Michael because they believe Michael is “the Angel of the Lord” mentioned in the Old Testament? I’ve always wanted to understand the reasoning behind this belief.
They fail to see that all of God's angels are "angels of Jehovah". They also were: "... all the sons of God shouted for joy...". In the larger sense, angel simply means messenger. However, there are a couple of occasions where the message Deliverer is unique and does some very unique things. An example is the Messenger Who announces the birth of Samson. He calls Himself "Wonderful". He ascends in the smoke of the sacrifice that Minoah offers. This is what we call a Christophany -- the preincarnate appearance of the 2nd Person of the Godhead on this earth.
Yes! Adventist believe Christ is God. However, He is also the commander of all the angels. Similarly to how a president is also the chief of army staff. Christ being Michael does not reduce His divinity, it only reveals one of His role. And yes, Christ is often the Angel of the Lord referred to in the old testament. For emphasis sake, Adventist believe that Christ is fully divine, and He is from everlasting to everlasting.

Original SdA church formed in 1863 was not Trinitarian. Many are returning to that foundation (Matthew 16:15-18 and John 17:3) of the one True God (aka the Father) and the literal begotten Son of God (aka Jesus Christ, the Messiah), and by their spirit, Christ abides in us (believers). Many today are abandoning the trinitary/godhead theology and returning the original foundation outlined in the scriptures.
Many years ago I was curious about SDA teachings, so talked with pastor. I asked about dietary laws - what he would do if someone served ham without knowing his beliefs. He simply said he would eat it - keeping the relationship with the person would be more important than keeping a law. (Another rolled his eyes and laughed when I asked if he got pastoral calls on Sunday, the day after the Sabbath. I took that as a yes.)
SDA pastors are expected to be able to receive calls from members at any time of any day. This includes waking up in the middle of the night to help church members who need pastoral advice

I have never been associated with the SDA, but I am familiar with many of their beliefs on account of a series of children's bible story books ("The Bible Story," by Arthur Maxwell) and a richly illustrated, dictionary-sized family devotional book, which were written by SDAs. The parts that stuck with me were their teachings about the End Times. In addition to the "Dark Day" of 1780 and the meteor shower of 1833 being fulfillments of prophecies from Revelation, they also had a unique interpretation of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse: They believe the rider of the first (white) horse to be Christ and the true Church He established, the second (red) horse to represent the Crusades and the Roman Catholic Church that called for them, the third (black) horse to represent the corrupt, indulgence-selling Catholic Church at the time of the Reformation, and the pale horse, ridden by Death and followed by Hades, to represent the persecutions and killings of the Counter-Reformation.

Your "great disappointment" is called false prophecy and false prophets by the standards of the Bible, the Word of God. Also why no mentioning that "Millerites" are in actual fact also the Jehovah's Witnesses?
He didn't mention it because it's not strictly true. Just because an organization began about the same time means nothing. Go study the Second Great Awakening in US history.

As a former SDA who is now a 7th Day Baptist, I can honestly testify that this video is the most accurate presentation of what SDAs truly believe. Adventists are herterodox in their beliefs, rhey are not a cult. However, the belief in an Investigative Judgement, the authority of EG White, and sinless perfection before the 2nd Coming are unbiblical beliefs and need to be discarded by the SDA church. The so called "Clear Word" bible is not a Bible and should be discarded. Otherwise, SDA theology is Biblical.
As a Southern Baptist who attended an SDA school I can say while I have numerous disagreements with the SDA Church they are good people and I found a new level of respect for them compared to how I viewed them before I participated in their education system.
Careful. I know some very fine and loving atheists. Being nice and being correct are far from the same thing. My experience on YT is that 7th day people I meet here are generally arrogant and offensive.

Excellent video. It seems to me that Sda’s put more focus on Ellen G White than God Himself. I too keep a Sabbath but it almost seems that Sda’s make an idol out of it. No where did I hear the encouragement of a relationship between one and God. Almost like it’s law over love…….
As a life long member of the SDA church, I have concluded that...The "Adventist Message" is different from the "Gospel Message". The "Adventist Message" is a gospel +plus approach which directed me back to the 'Gospel Message' by which I am saved. The "Gospel Message" is plain and simple and is the supreme example of God's love and salvation to a dying world.
As a life long member of the SDA church, whose ancestors met EGW and built up the church in the 1880s and 1890s and studied SDA history including 1888 and 1902, I have no idea what nonsense "Adventist Gospel" you speak of.
@@americanswan Please note that I did not use the term ‘Adventist Gospel’. If anyone adds to the gospel, you get the gospel plus something else. As an Adventist, I used to think that the Adventist Message was the Gospel. I was sure wrong about that. If I were to ask you a question, I would ask you what you think the Adventist Message is? Hopefully, you would state the simple Gospel, and then you might add something else?
@@user-kc7pf7xj5jYou can add to the Gospel, but you can also take away from it! That's what most Evangelical churches do, where the warm fuzzy feeling and saying "I'm saved" is all that matters. I'm not saying it's your case, since you didn't specify what you mean, but when someone tells me that things like caring for the poor is "adding to the Gospel" I become suspicious.
As someone who spent most of my schooling going to an adventist academy i feel kinda embarrassd i only know what they told me and food restrictions and saturday, not sunday. Strange how i never wondered who the people shaping my education were
Jesus created ONE Church in Matt 16:18. The pillar and foundation of truth, in 1 Tim 3:15. And the Final Authority in Matt 18:15-17. There are thousands and thousands of Protestant "churches" all teaching different doctrines yet reading the same Bible. That should tell you something. It wasn't like that the first 1500 years before Luther came along. In 107AD, St. Ignatius of Antioch, a Bishop in the Church Jesus created, wrote a letter calling his Church "Catholic", or Universal. All Protestant "churches" are man made, or in this case, woman made. And most of them all teach bad doctrines, leading millions to hell. Examples of False, man made teachings: Bible Alone, Faith Alone, Once Saved Always Saved, a "symbolic" baptism, a "symbolic" body and blood of Christ, and so on.
If we receive salvation through faith in Jesus finished work on the cross! Then why is there a need for investigative Judgment by Jesus of our sins? Those not the word of God say that God knowing all things even before we where born ? Have not the Bible made clear the end time remnants are 144 thousand Jews! Not christian gentiles , the Bible is clear about all these things, the problem is doctrines of men not of God, the dark day is yet to come.
following laws and rules does not get you into heaven eating the right food ,not doing things on the sabbath , ect none of this gets you into heaven what does get you in is : do you believe in and have faith in God ,the Holy Spirit and Jesus do you do your best to help those in need just as Jesus did , do you show your belief by how you act I no longer attend the S.D.A. Church because most have a unusual view on S.D.A. beliefs
I understand the sentiment, but given Psychology and Logical Reasoning shouldn't we be able to come to an unemotional consensus? I don't see the logic, for example, in sinful man arbitrarily deciding another day of worship. That said, I also can understand why someone would wonder why Saturday over other days. My conclusion for many many years was the Sabbath is a mysterious blessing I didn't understand. I may still not understand it. I have heard a new theory which says God's law is design law like gravity. Satan wants God to appear arbitrary so the Sabbath represents design while Sunday to Friday is arbitrary human rule making. This would mean accepting the Sabbath is accepting God as designer and not an arbitrary rule making dictator. Who know?
LETS FACE IT ,the Sabbath is one thing the Adventists got right . you cant argue with the correct day that the Sabbath was observed among the Hebrews .Sunday is not the correct day but i have noticed that the Spirit of God is not in the adventist churches
@@jonasaras theSabbath is a part of the law .The Sabbath was also made for man and not man for the sabbath as Jesus said .And the only ones who want us not to forsake the assembly are those intent on killing Christians who make their job of killing us so much easier .Wake up to Paul mam for he was not one of us
@@drusauza8291 That's because the authors of the Old and New Testaments didn't make that distinction. The Old Covenant Law includes ALL 613 commands given to the Jews (Deut 5:2-3), just as the Law of Christ includes 1050 commands given by Jesus and the Apostles. The distinction is between two completely different covenants.
Note that the Ten Commandments were given specifically to the Israelites. Also, Romans 10:4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. Me: Why do the Seventh Day Adventist insist on keeping the Ten Commandments especially keeping the Sabbath? Is it worth being annihilated?
When we reconcile that with other parts of scripture. 1 John 2:4-6 (NKJV) 4 He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 5 But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him. 6 He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked. I think Jesus kept the Ten Commandments. It says end of the law for righteousness. It means keeping the law to become righteous does not save us. I think SDAs would agree.
Another great video!!! How long did you study for the prep of this video? Keep up the good work. I believe these videos give us an opportunity to have better understanding of our brothers and sisters in Christ. “Blessed are the peacemakers…”
In some sense at this point each video I make has involved years of study as I incorporate what I have learned over the years. This one though I did spend three weeks dedicated to study. I can't do that often because on average I need to produce a video once a week and study is only one part of that.

SDA started on wrong foundation ( predicting Christ's return) and continues to deceive millions by taking the simplicity of the Gospel and turning it into a system of religious works and duties. SDA has a form of godliness but denies the power thereof.
I'm not SDA, but their 7th day Mark of the Beast doctrine isn't as ridiculous as it seems. Rather than a rapture as a miraculous work, they believe that the third angel will call out to all that proper worship matters. If God gives a general revelation to all Christians that Saturday is the proper day of worship, which is no more miraculous than the rapture would be, then true Christians who trust God would switch to Saturday. False Christians, who trust only themselves, would stick with Sunday. The Christians who trust themselves are the liberal Christians, ELCA and Episcopalians and the like, who also accept gay marriage. Personally I don't think we're that far away from governments closing down churches that teach against gay marriage. So you could end up in a situation where the only churches you can legally be a part of are liberal churches, who continue to worship on Sunday, and not conservative ones, which have switched to Saturday. It's not gonna happen. But it's no more ridiculous to me than the rapture is.
