Excellent .. This February 4, 2024 (Sunday) I decided to go to a Christian church (Baptist) after 16 years in Adventism. It was a decision that was in my head for almost a year and a half; Blessed be Christ to fill me with strength and I have said no more to Adventism. May the Lord be the one who guides us through his Spirit.. A thousand thanks to all the media for giving us information and being able to be part of my departure from Adventism. I will always be grateful to Jesus and my brothers in Christ
I’m no former Adventist, and am not actively involved in ministering to Adventists, however, the thing I notice as a common thread in all these ‘former Adventist’ messages, is that you all have a powerful grasp of, and preach so clearly, Grace. I pray the church as a whole may be moved in such a way.
Hey Jeff, I was SDA for over 40 years and had reached the level of ordained elder, I was ask to give the sermon on a certain date back in the mid 90s due to the church I belonged to had driven their pastor away, I preached a sermon about grace, using the story of the landowner that hired workers to harvest his crops all day and paid the last hires the same as the first, the same wage. At the end of the sermon, an elderly women met me at the back door and she was openly weeping! I held her while she cried until she was able to talk and she said '' Jim I have been an SDA for 83 years and until today I have never understood grace." I went home that day, SO! happy that, with the power of the Holy Spirit, Gods word made it thru to this poor woman. Two weeks later I was called by the head elder and told that they had a board meeting, without me, even though I was on the church board, and I was told, I was barred from the pulpit until I cut my hair, which was shoulder length. This is what started my trip away from the SDA church, and thank GOD! I have been free of that cult for over 12 years now.
Dear Dale I thank you for all your explanations, I myself Never been an SDA but have dear friend that is and I have to put up with a lot of verbal abuse because I don't agree with the SDA doctrines I ask you to pray for those still under the SDA to find the path of love and compassion
Elena Smith, I have two SDA friends and three from the Messianic Movement...I know exactly what your are talking about...all we can do is to pray for them.
dina eddy Messianic Movement leads people away from following Jesus in faith. Enslaving the believer in legalism and ritualism made for spiritual infants. The law was our tutor to bring us to Christ. Gal 3:24. The Mark of the Beast has to do with entering a covenant of works Rev. 13:16 compare it to Exodus 13:16.
True, God gave those laws and rituals to ancient Israel. But they could never keep those physical laws because their hearts did not change. The OT records the failures of this performance based system. That is why God gave us a better covenant. With the new covenant comes better promises, there was a change from laws written in tables of stone to laws engraved in the heart (Jeremiah 31:31) There was also a change of priesthood. Hebrews 7: 11Now if perfection was through the Levitical priesthood (for on the basis of it the people received the Law), what further need was there for another priest to arise according to the order of Melchizedek, and not be designated according to the order of Aaron? 12For when the priesthood is changed, of necessity there takes place a change of law also. We Christians have a new High priest Jesus Christ ( Melchizedek) and need to follow the law of Christ ,Galatians 6:2 Jesus told us that we fulfill the law when we love God with all of hearts and minds and love our neighbor as ourselves Mark 12:30-31 there are no commandments greater than these. The Holy Sprit gives us the fruits of the Spirit Galatians 5:22-23 and that is how we can obey the laws written in our hearts.
After watching this video, I felt that I should bring to our attention two very obvious points: 1. With regard to the Aramaic N.T. As the proponents of this project must admit, they have no Aramaic original manuscripts to work from. So where must they go? The Syrian Peshitta and/or to the Greek texts. Their translation, no matter how accurate still comes from the womb of our available Greek/Syriac etc. manuscript evidence. That is all they have. And if it is to be accurate, they must address the issue of the value of each of the Greek manuscripts. So indeed as it is written, All we have are many copies (the oldest of which comes from approx. 80 A.D. and it is in Greek). Aramaic is just another translation like our many other translations. 2. The second point is with regard to the sacred name YHWH. It is very important to understand that when Jesus instructed his disciples on prayer, He didn’t say, “Our YHWH in heaven.” He said, “Our FATHER in heaven.” He is shifting the emphasis from the mysterious name YHWH to the intimate name of FATHER. Jesus models this intimacy throughout His life. In the New Covenant. We are now sons and daughters in relationship with the FATHER. We are to cry, "ABBA FATHER." It is wonderful to be able to know God in a more intellectual way as we study the names of the most High, but what He desires most is for us to have a real intimate experience with Him. We must not be side tracked from the great freedom we now have to access our ABBA FATHER.
well said. ANd we don't even have to use the Aramic "Abba" - if we want to, well and good, but it is not mandatory. The point is that we can and must know Father in Heaven intimately through Faith in His Son, Jesus Christ.
When I first became a Christian, I told a friend who was a JW. She told me to find a church that called God Jehovah. My reply was….”Oh, but I call Him Father”. I said that in all innocence as I had come to know Him as MY FATHER, just as He was to Jesus, and because Jesus tells us to. Simple isn’t it? We have a special relationship as sons and daughters and the right to say…..Father 💕❤
Awesome! Thank you! I ran into a group at a community meeting and they were doing a Messianic type of thing, but they also were speaking on some lost tribes thing. And i asked ...interrupted the conference...what importance it was? Should we not be focusing on evangelism. They said evangelism was not important and made fun of evangelists! The whole place went into chaos at that point and the meeting was over! I ran for the door dragging my son behind me😄 i was stunned. I knew nothing at all about "theologies." I only knew the Bible and Billy Graham's preaching since age 6 on the radio, then later on TV and in person. Well, i have learned some sad stuff about theology, but the best Salvational and practical Bible Truth i have learned was from you all! Thank you so much😊 i am trying to get this out to all Christians, because very few truly understand these important Truths so get sucked into all sorts of odd beliefs.
I also do not agree with the SDA doctrine even though I am belong to that church. Now I shall make fellowship with your congregation, Sir Dale Ratzlaff. What is the name of your congregation, sir?
Wow old video but it's funny the topic covered by this video has really exploded in recent years. Aka Torahism (the belief that gentiles for their sanctification, need to keep the Torah or at least the Jewish feasts). The RUclips channel known as "Defending Biblical Christianity" covers the errors of the Hebrew roots in depth. I will also say, dabbling into Apologetics against SDA brought this issue to light. I have a Messianic rabbi friend who I disagree with, but I did not realize he actually endorsed Torahism. I must have had a good dozen arguments with him online since this revelation dawned on me a year ago. Usually, it's him being triggered by stuff I post against Adventism!

Lost are the ones that believe that God has sent an end times prophet/messenger 1800 years after Jesus, to bring Truth to His people. Lost are the ones who believe that this false prophet brings "more Truth" or more light, thus totally undermining Jesus' powerful miraculous Finished work of the Cross. That is what you call LOST, those are the ones who need prayer. People who believe and preach Bible only are not lost. Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life.

without faith - it is IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEASE GOD.
Its great to get clarity. Thank you.

you are so wrong and MASHIAHIYIM TALMIDIM is what the disciples were
God did not - Jesus did not put on Gentile believers in Jesus Christ that they had to speak Hebrew.

How is Dale lost? Please explain to me. Don't you accept new covenant?
Your right, He is lost, he have a message that he dont even understand it,Watch him closely and hear how he twist the Bible for his own perdition.
Lost are the ones that believe that God has sent an end times prophet/messenger 1800 years after Jesus, to bring Truth to His people.
Lost are the ones who believe that this false prophet brings "more Truth" or more light, thus totally undermining Jesus' powerful miraculous Finished work of the Cross.
That is what you call LOST, those are the ones who need prayer.
People who believe and preach Bible only are not lost.
Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life.
You're a Pharisee, John Luckeroth.
