Recently, Pastor David Gates was involved in a plane crash, which could had been fatal. I think Pastor Mark Finley should had at least mentioned that we are happy to know that our brother is doing well. Sometimes a little concern is more important than trying to make theology right!
The same thought went through my mind. But no mention that he is miraculously still alive, but just a video that attacks his message. I discern which spirit is behind this video, and it is NOT the SPIRIT OF GOD!
Rajeev Larka - You are right. I like both pastors, they are both on the same team but at least Pr. Finley should have even visited Pr. Gates as a brotherly gesture and then if they couldn't agree he would then be free to go public.
Well this life isnt as important as eternal life if some one loses their life but have eternal life that is more important that no one is misslead by false teachings
Even William Miller was wrong about the event he predicted would take place in 1844 yet by his preaching and proclamations the people were awakened to the imminent coming of Jesus and the need to BE READY before the door of salvation closes. Likewise, David Gate's sermon was to WAKE THE CHURCH UP and much less about date setting. I found David Gates sermon to be hugely encouraging and I am even more determined to live for God in these last days before my name passes through the Heavenly courts. Blessings.
God led in the message of William Miller. That was his will then. Then he told us thru Ellen White to NEVER have a time excitement again. So that's how we can know for sure that Br. Gates is not led by God in this issue.
@@earlysda Pr Gates stated it was his own opinion. He never claimed to be a prophet but instead was stating what he personally believed would take place early next year. It was a wake up call to be ready as these events are very near. How can the Conference speak out so quickly against Davd Gates but refuse to do a public video and address all the apostacy taking place in the Church at present. I would rather they leave David Gates to his own opinions and prefer to hear why the Conference is misappropriating our tithe money, why they are ordaining Lesbian ministers and elders in our church, the unbiblical women's ordination debate and the Great Hope debacle to name a few. David Gates refused to sign one of the points in the Church's Working Policy, which is why the Church is speaking out against him. Yet David Gates is on the frontline doing volunteer missionary work and trying to wake his beloved Church up. I want to be one of the wise virgins with oil in their lamp while waiting for Jesus return. (Furthermore, Pr Jeremiah Davis has been preaching for YEARS that there is only a few short months until the Sunday law is enforced, yet he has not been openly rebuked for preaching this because Pr Jeremiah Davis is still in the Conference, yet David Gates is not). However I do respect your opinion 🤗 Blessings.
I remember when I was a teenager that my youth group leader in my church was ran out of the church because he was sharing the book "Faith and Works" by Ellen G White which brought righteousness by faith to the surface, and the conservative members didn't appreciate the attack on their 10 commandments. Afraid of "new age religion." How they treated my youth group leader led me to hate the church and I left during a time when I had a lot of zeal but was young and knew nothing. I take full responsibility for my lack of commitment to God and for the time I spent separated from God, but it is a shame that so much division within the church is throwing many mixed messages to our youth and newer members. If only we could allow God to shake without our selfish motives causing unnecessary and painful aftershocks. I hope and pray we can all focus more on reflecting God’s character to the rest of the world, having no expectations from humans or demons other than what has been foretold by God, and having all faith in God that He will do as He promised and is in control of His church and directing it's leaders and trying the leaders as He does any other human. We can do nothing to change a person's heart. Only God can change a person's heart. Even our own. Forgive me for rambling. I just grieve over the cosmic conflict in every battlefield. Especially within the church. But I know that Satan works harder there than any other place. I am just a spiritual baby. I am as a child in my knowledge and wisdom and I have no words to say for encouragement or advice. But I do want to hold on to Jesus tighter than ever as I see and feel the very ground shaking beneath my feet. I want to pray more fervently for our church and my brothers and sisters.
Precisely! I will heed the warning given by brother Gates regardless whether or not there is any validity to the time parallels. I want to avoid speaking ill about anyone but I would encourage others to be cautious of those that are influential in the SDA church. I don't know Gates very well but I feel that he has a genuine and vital connection with the Lord.
Sadly, you are probably half right, Nsanzumukiza. That is because they are not Bible students, and are instead just listening for something to tickle their itching ears. Of course when the time passes with nothing happening (like it has in the past with Br. Gates' ridiculous time predictions), some people will fall away from the truth.
@@earlysda ... Thanks for sharing. I'm not very knowledgeable on brother Gates, has he made many time predictions? What are some examples if you don't mind?
@@earlysda ... Not sure I understand your comment very well. He made the statement that people were not focused on the time predictions but on the need for preparation. What's that got to do with itching ears? Itching ears are attracted to the peace and safety nothing to see or hear here message. And if the time passes without occasion, people that have heeded the message to prepare are gonna fall away some how? I guess it depends how they prepared... Am I a poor student of the Bible if I decide to take the warning to heart and use the time for strengthening my relationship with my Lord?
Joel 2:28 "And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions. I watched Gates' video and I thought it was on point... worse case it will cause us all to pray, read our Bibles, and ask for guidance from the Holy Spirit....what i do know is that Rome is focused and we are not...
Thank you Pastor Mark for your presentation done in a sweet Christian spirit. If brethren do disagree on some items, this is the way to do it. Greetings from the front lines, on the Amazon River in Brazil. Your long-time friend and brother, David
Dear beloved David , do not be discourage . For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. 2 Timothy 4:1-4 (KJV)
I'm HERE TO SAY RIGHT NOW! IF NOT FOR UNCLE DAVID I WOUlD STILL BE DEPENDING ON MAN, PAYCHECK AND PENSION he has given the example on to make it from now and through NSL. Thank you Uncle David, Because of your messages I have realized what it is I have do in my life to get ready for Jesus. MOST IMPORTANTLY IS PUTTING IT ALL ON THE ALTER LIKE OU HAVE SAID AND DONE. THE ONES THAT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH "EVEN AT THE DOOR" cannot live now or NSL without GC paycheck. STAY STRONG no matter the negativity that is thrown to you by people that reject the massage that God wants his people to hear and obey. God Bless you and keep you always. I always look forward to hear from you. ps don't forget the gallon of propwash lol
After listening to Pastor Findley I know we can all go wrong when we put our feelings before our knowledge, I admire and know that Pastor David Gate is a man of God and he wants to devote all his efforts so that we Adventists wake up and leave our comfortable zone to enjoy sharing this sacred message, thank you for your conclusions and advice, I hope that as Uncle David all Adventists ask the guidance of the Holy Spirit to remain united to the end, may God bless you Gustavo Turcios
“At times, when a small group of men entrusted with the general management of the work have, in the name of the General Conference, sought to carry out unwise plans and to restrict God’s work, I have said that I could no longer regard the voice of the General Conference, represented by these few men, as the voice of God. Testimonies for the Church, vol. 9, 260.2
And now for the rest of the entire quote and if you think that taken out of context is still accurate then you don't know how the church is organized to operate. Funny how my reference is the same and yet the quote is so much longer. Always look things up for yourselves. We should still be the people of the Book. "It is not a small group of men. "At times, when a small group of men entrusted with the general management of the work have, in the name of the General Conference, sought to carry out unwise plans and to restrict God’s work, I have said that I could no longer regard the voice of the General Conference, represented by these few men, as the voice of God. But this is not saying that the decisions of a General Conference composed of an assembly of duly appointed, representative men from all parts of the field should not be respected. God has ordained that the representatives of His church from all parts of the earth, when assembled in a General Conference, shall have authority. The error that some are in danger of committing is in giving to the mind and judgment of one man, or of a small group of men, the full measure of authority and influence that God has vested in His church in the judgment and voice of the General Conference assembled to plan for the prosperity and advancement of His work." 9T 260:2
If not for the Even at the Door sermon of David Gates, we would be stucked in Manila, lockdown for a year when the pandemic hit. But we were able to prepare leaving the city at least 3 months before the pandemic. My husband and I thanked God that we were able to watch that sermon Even at the door. No one in the mainstream SDA pastors saw it coming and warned the church. But Pastor David Gates did.
I recommend that instead of thanking brother David Gates for making your life better, Thank 😊 JESUS CHRIST up in Heaven, and The HOLY FATHER IN HEAVEN. The HOLY Spirit here on earth now, wants to continue to help and protect you, and open your understanding NOT TO FOLLOW ANY MAN on earth. Rev 14:1-5 "...they follow THE LAMB (Jesus Christ) whithersoever HE Goeth..." Not follow the errors and time setting and false predictions about "...the National Sunday Law will be enforced in 2019..." like David Gates falsely predicted. "WE LOOK FOR THE SAVIOR FROM HEAVEN...." Paul said.
When I heard Pastor gates I fell the urgency to be ready, even if Jesus doesn’t come in my lifetime, I know that urgency will pass to the younger generation. After listening to this video I felt discouraged, I’m getting more and more disappointed at the GEneral Conference.
God has told us thru Ellen White to NOT get up a time excitement. When it dies down, then it will be much harder to bring people up to a preparation when the real event comes. And speaking of the younger generation - they will learn of the failed time predictions of their "leaders", and probably reject all the truth of the Three Angels' Messages. So it is best to not preach error in the first place, wouldn't you agree?
Interesting how you are falling into the trap of following how you "feel." Therein lies your problem. Trust the Bible, not your feelings, and definitely not the wild inaccuracies of David Gates.
He is not setting a time line, he is making a call to wake up, and warning that the Sunday law is in process, and I do not make decisions just by feeling, I pray and read the Bible as well. I don’t see what’s wrong with God putting peace in my heart when I hear a sermon that encourages me to be ready, and that’s the feeling of urgency that I have in my heart. God bless you all.
@@michaelmateus8338 Nothing wrong with peace that passes understanding. I just found it strange that you were expressing how you felt discouraged by this video. A video in which a man humbly shares truth and points out many errors in David's message. Real errors. Errors that matter. Time setting was only one of the many errors David made, all while speaking from a pulpit. It's important to embrace truth and reject error.
Mark Finley, David Gates, Ted Wilson, Doug batchelor they are all VERY GOOD PASTOR no need to argue about that if Sunday law is already applied today or not yet we just need to get ready for our coming savior Jesus Christ couse we don't even know when we are going to die.
Mark, you have to understand that when you say "my understanding of" is no different than David saying that his "understanding of it is". If I remember correctly David did say that this is what he believed, not that it is unequivocally fact.
When you say God showed me, or God told me, in effect you're saying that what you're sharing is infallible because it came from God. Pretty serious claims.
Yes, I agree. I do somehow remember a disclaimer of sorts, such as I mentioned in my comment. He did mention corroboration of his information with other like minded men, which can come from Bible study and fellowship. If he claimed to be speaking authoritatively (as a prophet) then I am skeptical, really, really skeptical. Do I think time is almost up, unequivocally yes, do I have good reasons to believe this, YES, do I have absolute proof, not so much. @@ronsagmuller1350
I hope that you're openning your eyes with whats happening around the world now, people don't seem to like the fact that jesus is at the doors and we have to pray for forgiveness and for the holly spirit !
I have great respect for Mark Finley. His name is well known in the Seventh Day Adventist Church and some people might say that he is one of the great speakers of our time. His message in the video covers the historical views of both Daniel and Revelation. However, the progressive focus of Daniel 8-12 is on the END TIMES. Mark, I guess my really important question is, what is the impact factor of your message for those who are living at the VERY end of time? Are the Ellen White quotes that you used consistent with ALL of her writings concerning TIME? Failure or insufficiency to look at ALL of her writings is a typical sign of bad research. Ellen White made it clear that the time prophecies in Daniel 12 were a part of the end time messages that extended to the second coming. She also said they were a part of the third Angels message. Mark, your research says that you have an axe to grind with David Gates, nothing more. Any attempt to inject emotion into a Biblical argument is usually a sign that the person making the argument has a motive other than finding out the truth. Mark, I disagree with your motives, there are many different people who have videos on RUclips that are talking about end time events, surely you don't agree with all of them but I've never heard you speak out against them. Emotion should not be your motive in Biblical research. It is also important to note, when there is a disagreement like the one presented by Mark, there is usually a political reason for the dispute. David Gates, wherever you are, probably feeding the poor in some far off land, stay strong! We know that you did not set a date for Christ return and you did NOT say that 2019 was a guarantee of Christ return. God bless you brother David. www.endtimeissues.com
There are two verbal corrections. One where Mark says 12,600 where he meant 1,260 (at 4:38) and another where he says historical and meant Historicist (7:10).
I think that you ought to make many more corrections. Your tone with Gates is disrespectful. Your facts are consistently off, throughout the message. At this point I believe that your motives are suspect.
Yea, maybe make a correction for violating the flocks freedom of conscience. He was correct. Even the prediction Mark is critisizing. Covid started in that year. And David never set an exact date and never claimed to be absolutely correct on anything, yet he was on the covid. The first global seige. Gates stood up for my freedom of conscience. The GC attacked mine under threat of buying and selling! The second global seige will come very soon.
This is not about the two elders it is about our own personal relationship with Jesus. We were known as the people of the book, let us study the scriptures like the Bereans. Elder David is telling us to be ready. Elder Mark Finley is telling us understand last day events. I don’t agree with David but I believe that he has a message for the last days. Be ready! Elder Finley has been quiet about many evils happening in our church, he should speak up even as he speaks up against David.
I heard that, I believe more, more, more that Pastor David Gates is correct. Get up people of God! The time is finishing for us. I am in Brazil, Rio Dr Janeiro. I will tell this for my friends and family.
He was correct. Even the prediction Mark is critisizing. Covid started in that year. And David never set an exact date and never claimed to be absolutely correct on anything, yet he was on the covid. The first global seige. Gates stood up for my freedom of conscience. The GC attacked mine under threat of buying and selling! The second global seige will come very soon.
I was baptized by pastor Mark Finley back in Romania. Thank you for this update, my mom just found the pastor David Gates video and showed it to me. I am glad I found this video by Pastor Mark Finley. He goes by the Bible.
Mark Finley is speaking without knowledge. He has a high lofty opGod's Of himself. He works as the assistant to the head administrator of the world church and does his bidding not God's.
I Don’t like this disunity. You promote The Good Hope in favor of the Great Controversy. That book Good Hope is water down of the last day Events. 2. All Pastor David is saying get ready get ready get ready. And the Bible does say in Joel 2:28. I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions. I disagree with you on this video against Pastor David. This is causing more disunity. I’ve notice since Ted Wilson went off on Pastor David that you at General Conference has continued to black wall Pastor David and cause a lot of disunity. Get back to preaching the three angels message and stop the disunity of our church.
I’m not concerned at all because I know God is in control! What matters now is our personal relationship with our Savior and how we can spread God’s love to people around us so them can also be saved :)
Even though Pastor David Gates may have committed a mistake stating a date during a preaching, he then recanted, I think that Pastor Gates has the best intentions for God's people, and he is preaching the present truth, let us not criticize each other, let us pray for each other.
Yup. He stood up for my liberty of conscience while the GC violated and not one other big pastor spoke up, including Doug Batch... But I still dont think Doug is corrupt. Nobody is perfect. I pray Doug makes the correct choice next time. He helped bring me in, I pray that I can see Doug in the kingdom too Lord. Please reach Dougs heart with all this.
David Gates and the present truth brothera are not just only waking up the saints, but also waking up the SDA corporate world to revisit the three angels messages. Even if David Gates or anyone is wrong, Just like William Miller was wrong with the even, God still allow Miller to wake up Christians at his time. God is currently allowing shaking through what ever means He seams fit to wake up the saints. Individuals it's time to study your bible for yourself.
I I'm LAUGHING! !!! Why is that? because I just see God allowing a lot of persons to go check Bro.Gates message and this will allow everyone to STUDY for themselves, we depend too much on others to teach us (that's the Holy Spirits work) God will not ask any of these pastor about any of us HE WILL ASK YOU ,WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE, you have to study for yourself, so no matter want anyone comes up with you know for a fact what is truth and what is error,, see how worked up everyone is about these pastors ,WAIT this is CHILD'S PLAY to what is about to come up.
Careful brethren! The devil does not care who has the TRUTH as long as he gets someone to argue. Who's right and who's wrong here?? Time will tell (Mt 13:30) Just be thankful that God is still on the throne!!!
I am grateful for the spirit of studying for both Pr Gates and Pr Finley. I strongly encourage us church members to PRAY more, then primarily STUDY the bible ON OUR OWN. Then keep on spreading the message in season and out of season: THAT'S OUR CALLING! We are not called to show publicly favoritism here. Be careful with your OWN EMOTION when you encounter a moment like this. At the end it's all about you and Jesus.
Thankfully we are not left to guess whether he is correct or not, we have the spirit of prophecy. We need not be ignorant regarding David Gates being correct or not. It's very simple; As long as he is advocating time setting his message will be one of error, fanaticism, and heresy according to the Spirit of Prophecy - advancing infidelity rather than christianity.
Guys, I know in my spirit that what uncle David said is true. And it also concerns me that so many pastors are going out of their way to try and convince the people of the opposite, and there are people that listen to them.... that is VERY dangerous to listen to these lullabies...we cannot afford to fall asleep now! The time is now!
From our Sabbath School lesson. Ellen G. White deeply deplored this state of affairs and encouraged all those involved in these discussions to think carefully about their relationship with Jesus and how love for Jesus ought to be demonstrated in our conduct, especially when we disagree. She also said that we should not expect everyone in the church to agree on every point of interpretation on all Bible texts
Robert Bar I am awake. I’m new at reading EGWhite books and studying Bible on daily minute basis. I’m aware Satan is in our churches. I don’t like all the fighting. All the video of Pastor David was about is get ready get ready get ready. And the GC condemns him at every video. Along with other pastors. Saved to Serve ministries says the same as Pastor David. And others. Do not understand GC. Leaders are asleep.
You live in a cocoon of imagination. I was a SDA born and brought up to be SDA. The church and mission policy has deteriorated to such an extend that when we questioned our church leaders from the bible about certain truths they asked us to leave the mission. Slowly but surely our Denomination has slipped back to the dark ages. They persecute anyone who dare to question them about anything. We say Jesus will come soon but the missions are all in disarray and the brotherhood is gone. I'm not surprised that you caution others about Pastor Gates cause he shows the zeal and enthusiasm for the Lord like the SDA of old. He doesn't dilute to please any GC members or bosses. You should have awarded and supported him and helped him to expand the Lord's work that he doing, instead you choose to be the Saint that cautions ppl about Pastor Gates. So have all and again all the nations drunk of the cup of the beast.... May the Lord bless Pastor Gates and his work. Come out of her my ppl Christ calls..for SDA as a Church has fallen.
@Hubris I know what you mean yet the Lord told the disciples to flee the city of Jerusalem when they saw the Romans and they did...and were saved. Might I ask you to follow the current world events more closely. You might really be surprised. You can also try a utube video from Walter Veith
@Hubris the advent movement started because of the numbers that predicted the Lord had entered into the most holy place. Many fell away and left their Faith. E.G White continued with the study. There will be a great shaking and many shall be deceived by their Faith in fixed faiths of tradition and caution. Pastor Gates isn't divine but he does have his faith. Do you really believe the scriptures then it clears states that even your sons and daughters will have visions. If no one is left even the stones shall declare the 3rd Angel's msg. Th at all the world shall hear. Why are you being sceptical? If there is a doubt then take to the Lord in prayer and fasting. He will not let you down if you but ask Him. It's useless to sit hours debating whether to be or not. Do what you do in faith and trust with prayers and fasting. Then no one will be deceived. There is no shortcut to heaven. Broadway is the road that leads to hell. Narrow and hard is the path of saints. If you doubt try to find the truth with God. It will be too late to wait for the Sunday law proclamation. The door to reach our Lord closed. Like the foolish virgins we would be left behind. Even the elect could be deceived. Why wait for the law. The signs are all around you. The knowledge has increased by far leaps and bounds, there is war and rumers of war everywhere. The ppl are being herded into mass groups. There is violence debauchery and mockery of the Lord. The storms are growing more unpredictable and climate change is a reality. The divide between the rich and poor is at its highest. Humanitarian emotions are dying. Ppl are eating living for pleasure without bothering about anyone else. The nation's too are at each other's throats...If you don't see that as the prophecy being fulfilled than what do you think it is? Even the unbelievers believe that the end of this earth is near.
The Bible says: in Matt. 7:16 “Ye shall know them by their fruits...” a number or new generation pastors now support what’s going on in the world! Pr. Gates is one who has done a lot in the mission field. How can he be hateful to SDA’s when he wants to wake his fellow SDAs to be ready for the 2nd coming? Think. We don’t hear much about the second coming and end times for fear of scaring the new believers. The truth may be painful or offensive to some, but how is one’s salvation when a sermon is watered down so not to offend? Yes, the conference tend to care about the number of baptisms, but how many newly baptized stay? Yes, it is very critical to point people to what is more important... the salvation of mankind.
Even if nothing happens in spring 2019, we should be ready. Your message should have been one of blowing the trumpet my friend, not trying to counteract a message from God. Wake up Pastor Mark , wake up Pastor Mark, wake up Pastor Mark.
@Mr AndersonWow!!! Have mercy Jesus on us. Indeed he cannot be a man of God, with Christmas trees in his home, and joining with the woman of Babylon last 2010 on Atlanta Ga. Sad indeed.
Wow this is from our brother who pushed the great hope which took out everything out of the Great Controversy that spoke ill of the Catholic Church. About 42 chapters, so now our catholic friends can read it and not be offended. I was catholic, if I would of read the great hope I would still be catholic.
@@armygurldesigns8151 That is true,Sorry..maybe Nasty or unchristlike are better words..Hopefully those who are Brothers in Christ,whether that be Pastor Finley or others who have a problem with another Brothers opinion,go to him in private first..Matthew 18:15-17..before broadcasting their disagreements across social media..I believe in these times our Leaders should be united in Love & Truth,not be openly disagreeing.
@@TrenchardHands True, but as Pastor Finley said, normally that's the process he would take. However, and I agree with him. The organization and prophetic writings were publicly challenged and misrepresented by Bro Gates, therefore it had to be dealt with publicly and if we stopped and listened Pastor Finley never attacked Bro Gates. He addressed the issues. Not the person. It is my belief that our brethren wants to work together in support of the work. The devil is busy trying to tear the church apart. We must stand united!
I am not here to take sides or judge.. I've followed these two leaders, and all I'll say is this, "by thy fruits, you shall know them," From my experience, growing up in the Caribbean, during the mango season we only stoned the the ripe-laden trees, not the green or non-fruit ones.
Thank you Elder Finley for pointing out from the Scriptures and the writings of Ellen White, the statements that keep our feet in the path of truth. I also appreciate that this was not a personal attack on Brother Gates as you point out we cannot judge his sincerity as we know he has sought to serve the Lord and hasten His coming for years. It is clear however that there is are no more time prophecies since 1844. I am so thankful to be a Seventh-day Adventist Christian for such a time as this. The Lord has His hand on the helm and this ship is going through. Hallelujah!
David Gates did NOT give a date! He merely pointed out that the deadly wound is healed and events are ramping up. It is a POSSIBILITY that big events could happen in the Spring - and by the way - he's not the only one saying this. This ship is the Titanic! The ship going through means CHRIST'S church - not the GC!
Pastor finly may God give you strength to walk with you till the end of your life. Never give up on teaching truth. Its sad that he attacks you we don't need to attack each other but pray for one another
If you want to see a true pastor a true Christian, you will see a person that doesn't have worldly things in they heart, also will live same way as Jesus lived, the richest man in a humble way. Jesus doesn't match with most of the pastors, living in they luxury and lust of the world.
I posted a comment earlier, I am sorry to have offended Mark Finley. I believe in the Adventist faith as the Lord called it to be. I listened to his comments and was upset to hear that said about David Gates. I have listened to Uncle David and and feel strongly that he may have something there;his message is a warning. I have also listened to Mark Finley and have heard everything he has said over the years, so I didn’t mean to come off disrespectful. He and his wife are doing much for the Lord. Please forgive me Pastor Mark. I didn’t like what Pastor Doug said on Facebook, posted a letter that Scott Ritsema sent to Uncle David. I think all comments should be sent to Uncle David directly. I know what Uncle David is saying and why. It’s not far fetched, I feel strongly that Jesus is coming too. I also have had dreams where I’ve been impressed that Jesus is coming imminently. Let’s get ready. Look up David Gates, SDA on RUclips and listen for yourself. Look for the books Mission Pilot and Mission Miracles and see what I’m talking about. Uncle David has a special message, a burning desire to help wake anyone up who thinks Jesus is coming someday, but probably not in their lifetime.
Solution: We just need to stop being credulous Christians and start studying the Word for ourselves. With the Holy Spirit's guidance, everyone is capable of figuring out what the LORD requires of each one of us.
But do you know that the condition of 7th day church in Mumbai is very bad. People want teacher who loves God and doesn't say that don't attend church other wise I will beat you and with false charges. The person was about to commit suicide because of church other seniors only listening and not responding to Pastor dirty words. And the victim is a member and God repairer of breach, Evangelist and teacher. He is also used by God to perform miracles but upset for where to take new souls when Pastor......? What is this Pastor Mark? Please let Pastor Dough be informed about this. Jeremiah 23: 1. Then Should we also quit 7th day Adventist Church. Please help us. Thanks

I’m not even a Seventh day Adventist but I know when a leader of a Organization like the General conference of seventh Adventist. Says there is no Sunday law in the pipeline? When all I’ve seen for years of studying the writings of Ellen White and following scriptures. It tells us it’s coming! So there’s no way the leader of the church can even say that?! But he did and this guy doesn’t even talk about Ted Wilson’s comment about Sunday law?! Jesus is coming soon and almost all the prophecies have been fulfilled! Amen!
There is no Sunday Law "in the pipeline". God has already told us in his holy words given to Ellen White that after his judgments on the land (America especially) people will clamor for a Sunday Law. There is no way, according to God, that the NSL will come in by stealth as Br. Gates and Branner state. We need to study and be ready, and give the 3 Angels' Messages with great power!
Pastor Finley never said there is not Sunday Law in the pipeline, the issue here was not about that. He simply addressed pastor Gate's analysis connected to the Paris accord, which with all due respect to elder Gates I believe he is incorrect. All conscientious Adventists firmly believe the Sunday law is on the horizon.
@@shazbk7616 My comment was addressed to Michael Diaz, who obviously believes the statements by some that there is a Sunday Law in the pipeline. I'm trying to show that the NSL will NOT be by stealth in some Climate Change legislation. It will come about when people CLAMOR for it.
It is very funny that Mark is commenting and have concerns about what David said about the pope but didn't have concerns about LGBT getting married, baptized and leadership role in our church. Hypocrite.....
Pastor Finley, Pastor Gates understands that. Historically SDA's see the 1260 days or 42 months of revelation "anchored" in the dark ages. However he, Gates, is just sharing what could be a possibility of viewing the days of Daniel 12 as "literal" days (Yom - Hebrew word use). And please take under consideration the sequence of the days; 1st the 1260, 2nd the 1290, last the 1335. That means that the parting date for all these dates start from the beginning of the 1260! In other words, the 1260 days begins the chain reactions of expected events to occur! We SDA's place them on or before 1844. The 1260 days began on 538, the 1335 began on 509, and the 1290 on 554. This set up contradicts Daniel 12. And we did this because if we expected Christ after 1844, Daniel 12 had to b fulfilled before or on by 1844. That's why Gates's state's that Daniel 12 should b seeing as literal "days" n as well as prophetic. The issue is that (and I understand no one wants to b seeing as a Hal Linsey or Harold Camping), we SDA's are standing in the side walk for further instructions (as it relates to prophetic interpretation) cause we don't know what's next! We r in limbo, because no sign of HOW the "siege of the church" (in modern times - Luke 21; Matt. 24)) would take place.
This is an honest disagreement with Bro. Gates using Biblical and SOP supporting texts. I certainly agree that time-setting is huge problem with Bro. Gates' message. We always need to be ready. If fear is your motivation, you are following the wrong spirit. "God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind." 2 Tim. 1:7
Beautiful verse ! “Those who think they must preach definite time in order to *make an impression* upon the people do not work from the right standpoint . The *feelings* of the people may be stirred and their *fears* aroused, but they *do not move from principle* . An *excitement* is created; but when the time passes, as it has done repeatedly, those who moved out upon time fall back into *coldness, darkness, and sin , and it is almost impossible to arouse their consciences without some great excitement* .” Testimonies, volume 4, 308.
Oh dear people, have we become so numb to "comments" and "criticism", are we so pulled down by our own opinions that we do not see how we are all being manipulated by the enemy? Focus....refocus on Jesus! Stop... please....stop this unnecessary madness....stop opening the door to sin. Don't give up your Salvation....the one thing that Jesus came to this earth to offer each of us because of our foolish self centered need to have an opinion. Oh my heart is sad for all of us.
Thanks for your comment. "To the law and to the testimony: If they speak not according to this word, It is because there is no light in them."

MY CONCERN IS WHY THEY ARE TRYING TO PUT PEOPLE TO SLEEP ? PEOPLE NEED TO BE WAKE UP .--- THEY ARE MISS INTERPRETED THE WORD OF DAVID 'S GATE.-- DAVID KNOWS VERY WELL 160 YEARS PERIOD ALREADY PASS. -- HE NEVER SAID THIS PROPHECY IS TO COME.
Pastor Finley , pastor David gates, and pastor dough bachelor should get together and pray together and discuss this matter. I have a strong believe that this men are true pastors! Can you consider this pastor?
The only true pastor here is David gates The other's so called pastors are trying to mislead people with there peace and safety in the church. Jesus spoke strait truth when He walks on this earth. And the church in His days did the same with Him, as they do to David Gates now. David Gates is a real Shepard to the flock of Christ. I am sick of listening to people's sermons that don't give you the PRESENT TRUTH for these days. Our people doesn't even KNOWS WHAT is going on in this world. I can Google on the internet but not all have that privilege. And if you listen to pastor's like Finley and Ted WILSON, YOU will never, GET READY FOR JESUS'S SECOND COMING. David Gates is speaking PRESENT TRUTH FOR THIS TIME AND IS WAKING GOD'S PEOPLE OUT OF SLUMBER. IT'S TIME TO WAKE UP, AND GET READY, GET READY, GET READY!!!
@@shedelangeable Br. Gates is doing what the SOP says "Greatly retarding the work of God" by getting up a time-excitement. It is very exciting now, but after April 2019 passes and nothing happens (just like 2015 passed, and Br. Gates' predictions didn't come true then), some people will lose faith and drop out by the way. Br. Gates' has the blood of these souls on his hands. I hope and pray he repents and resolves to follow all of God's holy words.
"Christ is waiting with longing desire for the manifestation of Himself in His church. *When the character of the Saviour shall be perfectly reproduced in His people, then He will come to claim His own* . It is the privilege of every Christian, not only to look for, but to *hasten* , the coming of our Lord. Were all who profess His name bearing fruit to His glory, *how quickly* the whole world would be sown with the seed of the gospel! *Quickly* the last great harvest would be ripened, and Christ would come. {CT 324.3}

"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 beginning 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 that they might not stumble. 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 said the city was a great way off, and they expected to have entered it before. Then Jesus would encourage 15 them by raising His glorious right arm, and from His arm came a light which waved over the Advent band, and they shouted, "Alleluia!" 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 lost sight of the mark and of Jesus, and fell off the path down into the dark and wicked world below. Soon we [SEE APPENDIX.] heard the voice of God like many waters, which gave us the day and hour of Jesus' coming. The living saints, 144,000 in number, knew and understood the voice, while the wicked thought it was thunder and an earthquake. When God spoke the time, He poured upon us the Holy Ghost, and our faces began to light up and shine with the glory of God, as Moses' did when he came down from Mount Sinai." {EW 14.1}

@@jaredmomanyi5063 spot on. you could have asked them where in the bible do you find millenium, it's the study as you have shown that allows you to understand and not mere word gymnastics, beautiful.
Personally I read that I am supposed to follow the word and not any men. I tried to listen and compare to the Bible. This applies to any leader/ pastor. Bible says “you will know them by their fruits.”
EGW: "This is the testimony I have borne ever since the passing of the time in 1844: ‘Time after time will be set by different ones which will pass by; and the influence of this time-setting will be to destroy the faith of God's people.’...I have borne the testimony since the passing of the time in 1844, that there should be no definite time set by which to test God's people. The great test on time was in 1843 and 1844; and all who have set time since these great periods marked in prophecy were deceiving and being deceived." {LS80 221.1}
@Edwin Shoo Wheather or not the US stays in the Paris agreement has nothing to do with Biblical prophecy in the sense of setting time. If EGW has, again and again, emphasized that there will be no time setting after 1844 then I choose to side with her and not speculations that at the end may hurt the church.
Amen! Oh that the people of God should see their error and return with humility and contriteness before they are consumed into darkness and lose the way from the path that leads to the promised Kingdom of God. Many shall fall away from that narrow path. We must stay on the path, looking back to the great light God has given in the past which will be a light unto us that our feet may be sure.
David Gates' disclaimer at the beginning is what did it for me. I have no problem with his presentation after his precautionary disclaimers. I am never one to follow anyone blindly, and that includes David Gates. But between Mark Finley and David Gates; if I had to choose between the two, i will most certainly choose David Gates' overall message of admonition. A word to the wise, is sufficient.
The prophets in the Bible never used disclaimers. So why are the ones saying that they are following God have disclaimers. Is JESUS speaking to them or not? It is like so-called Christians saying that they believe the Bible, but.... you know this creation thing, science has proved wrong. they use man-made science as their disclaimer.
Whether we agree with Gates or Mark Finley, all has to be done with respect as it is meet for Christians. Other than this we need to question the spirit actuating us
You know my dear Brother Finley, as I have heard both your sermon or comment and Brother Gates' sermon as well, the main thing that I see in bothe your commentaries is an appeal for those who haven't surrendered to Jesus do so, heart, mind and soul; and that those who have made a profession renew their commitment more deeply and get ready, get ready, get ready and study and pray, pray, pray! Sincerely, Patricia A. Lowe, member at Eau Clair SDA church, Eau Clair, Mich.
We can not get ready when we believe error, error is never harmless. It destroys and brings darkness and sin. " *Error is never harmless. It never sanctifies* , but always brings confusion and dissension. It is always dangerous. The enemy has great power over minds that are not thoroughly fortified by prayer and *established in Bible truth* . {CW 46.2}
The Word of God clearly states that we shall not murder. Why then do you wax eloquent on various other subjects but cannot raise one word to speak out about our church murdering the unborn? Have you also deluded yourself to believe that it is okay to take the life of an unborn child?

Your silence is your answer and seals your destiny....unless you repent
To all who has taken part in commenting, I would want u to take some time in reading what I am willing to talk about all these shakings that have been going through from past few days. Though the things going within the church might not be convincing whether it is right or not ... Let us not focus into such things about who is right or wrong ...neither let us condemn anyone but rather pray for all our church leaders. We are ought to know that good things and bad things will happen within the church but just because of that, let us not fall prey to what we see happening within the church lest we turn our focus from Christ and the spirit of prophecy and turn a prey to the devil. We r ought to know that these things will happen within the church but we are to turn our eyes from all these conflicts and move forward with Christ and the spirit of prophecy that is readily available to all ..let us not loose our focus on the things which concerns our eternal salvation the most. Let us not forget that by involving in such arguments regarding the things happening within the church we are forgetting what the devil is looking forward to turn away our eyes from Jesus and the spirit of prophecy by being involved in the conflicts arising within the church. Yes I agree it is good to know the things happening within the church personally. Yes but let us not focus on these things but rather be wise in moving forward with Jesus knowing that these things will happen within the church. Let us not allow our mind to dwell upon such things that happen around us ...but let us fix our eyes on Jesus and spirit of prophecy which the Lord has given us and move forward to the day that the Lord has appointed himself to come.
Pr. Mark Finley please do not talks about Pr David Gates, Talks about What the church is doing about 3 angel message. The church is not doing the job, about profecy the church is sleeping what are you doing about the church, please help and pray do not talks about any other person, in the church the roman are inside the church, are doing some thin g about ?
Charly, Pastor Finley's purpose is not to attack David Gates. He wanted to show the grave errors in David Gates' video called Even at the Door. David Gates was time setting which is against what God has revealed. Unfortunately, many have followed him on that trail. So, this video was to show that there is no biblical precedence for that. Obviously, those dates that he set are past and therefore, what David gates was preaching is proven false. Regarding the church preaching the 3 angels' messages, there have been efforts to preach the 3 angel's message. Have you seen our series on 3 angel's messages which has reached thousands of people with the truth: ruclips.net/p/PLILDvXAtv9JhTnlAFfsG2_JdFbzYuaQhI Instead of accusing the church, it would good for you to share the message of the coming of Christ in your sphere of influence. If you are involved in it already, then Praise God. We pray that your work will expand and reach more people. If you are not involved, then instead of pointing fingers we pray that you will be involved in sharing the good news of what Jesus is doing and will do for His people.
The scriptures say we wrestle not against flesh and blood, friend. It's a power to sway us to Satan and lose our souls when error is involved but its truth that brings the heart to God and the church will flourish once we give our whole hearts its not people or pastors that we are to look too.

I'm amazed how some pastors are attacking David Gates, yet no one word against the worse atrocities many influencial pastors within the denomination are doing. Are they thinking we don't understand what hipocrisy is? Sad period of time we're living in.
This is a thought I have every-time men of influence would direct the spirit of the Lord. Now that said I do wish brother Gates would avoid the time emphasis and focus only on the core of his message that Jesus is coming soon. Now consider this brother Finley: “But the Holy Spirit will, from time to time, reveal the truth through its own chosen agencies; and no man, not even a priest or ruler, has a right to say, You shall not give publicity to your opinions, because I do not believe them. That wonderful “I” may attempt to put down the Holy Spirit’s teaching. Men may for a time attempt to smother it and kill it; but that will not make error truth, or truth error.” (Ellen G. White, Letter to the Battle Creek Church, ‘Danger of Rejecting Truth’, written from “Sunnyside," Cooranbong, N.S.W. May 30th 1896) “A very dangerous element is coming into our ranks with the idea that certain workers are set to be mind and judgment for their brethren. God never intended this to be; for such a course leaves no freedom for the Spirit of God to work.” (Ellen G. White, Letter to Elder G. B. Starr Sydney Australia, October 1st 1907)
Thank you elder Mark for the detailed explanation of excellent response video. I believe pastor David Gate is sincere in his massage and wants many of our members to be saved but we do need leader like Elder Mark Finley to straighten things up whenever it is needed. If anyone says what he wants to say and there is no one who will correct it, our church will be in a great disaster. May our Lord bless both ministers. Pastor Stephen Moethapo, Karen Ministry, NAD
Joel 2:28 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: 2:29 And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit. 2:30 And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. 2:31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come.
I’ve watched both this video and Paster Gates Video. I have to conclude the Paster Finely defended his position solely on clear statements from the SOP regarding the setting of time prophecies. Sister white is clear that there will be no more time prophecies. I love the work that Paster Gates has done, he has been a great inspiration to many of us. But when you weigh his revelation to that of the SOP, as well as our historical stance on the 3 1/2 yr, 42 month 1260 day/yr interpretation, it comes up short. Finley is right. You can’t transfer the time period over in this way. Also, considering the clarity of what the SOP says, Time Prophecy finished in 1844. You can’t change those statements.
We were firm in the belief that the preaching of definite time was of God. It was this that led men to search the Bible diligently, discovering truths they had not before perceived. Jonah was sent of God to proclaim in the streets of Nineveh that within forty days the city would be overthrown; but God accepted the humiliation of the Ninevites, and extended their period of probation. Yet the message that Jonah brought was sent of God, and Nineveh was tested according to His will. The world looked upon our hope as a delusion, and our disappointment as its consequent failure; but though we were mistaken in the event that was to occur at that period, there was no failure in reality of the vision that seemed to tarry. - {CET 54.4} Yet God accomplished His own beneficent purpose in permitting the warning of the judgment to be given just as it was. The great day was at hand, and in His providence the people were brought to the test of a definite time, in order to reveal to them what was in their hearts. The message was designed for the testing and purification of the church. They were to be led to see whether their affections were set upon this world or upon Christ and heaven. They professed to love the Saviour; now they were to prove their love. Were they ready to renounce their worldly hopes and ambitions, and welcome with joy the advent of their Lord? The message was designed to enable them to discern their true spiritual state; it was sent in mercy to arouse them to seek the Lord with repentance and humiliation. - {GC 353.1} This test would reveal the strength of those who with real faith had obeyed what they believed to be the teaching of the word and the Spirit of God. It would teach them, as only such an experience could, the danger of accepting the theories and interpretations of men, instead of making the Bible its own interpreter. To the children of faith the perplexity and sorrow resulting from their error would work the needed correction. They would be led to a closer study of the prophetic word. They would be taught to examine more carefully the foundation of their faith, and to reject everything, however widely accepted by the Christian world, that was not founded upon the Scriptures of truth. - {GC 354.1}
Jon Richard I truly believe that this is a test for those who claim to believe the SOP, whether they will accept the clarity of its statements or the opinions of a revered and respected leader. There’s a lot of man worshipping going on in both camps. As a people we’ve fallen victim to a “celebrity Adventist” culture.
@@Project4SIGHT the bible says men will have dreams and prophecy. but even beyond that, Gates message is not a major prophecy of time setting. he even took great pains to emphasize this. hes showing us that the Sunday Law movement is moving forward. He's not saying any date is definite, or that the Sunday Law will be here next Spring. What he's saying is that its just around the corner and that it looks interesting in terms of old established prophecy, and that it seems to fit the 3.5 years. He saying big things may happen next Spring in the push for the law. But we all know through SOP that there will be a big movement across the the world to push for a Sunday Law, and that the populace will demand it from their leaders. There will be one tragedy after another, and this will all be blamed on Sabbath keepers. There is a Sunday Law ready to go. the time for it is going forward. its getting closer and closer. many things have to happen before it is to be decreed by our US government. but i dont think its possible to happen this Spring. all said , I still support Gates' message and want to hear more. get ready , get ready , get ready!
iztheterrible I respect Paster Gates and his labours. If it wasn’t for his testimonies I would never have gotten involved in the work. With that said, I have to measure what he said in his video to the SOP AND... our fundamental beliefs concerning the interpretation of biblical time prophecy. He clearly stated that probation on the Church would close around the spring, March and April specifically, of 2019. That’s what he said. And though he may have eluded to “not setting a date”, this is exactly what was done. The SOP says that there will be “no more time prophecy.” There will be no more prophecy based on time. No message from God will come to us as a movement that will be centred around time. That’s SOP... that’s E.G White...I have to accept those statements, in-spite of who is giving the message. Secondly, we DO NOT believe in a literal 3 1/2 year time prophecy. That’s Futurism... that’s JESUITISM, invented by Francisco Ribera in 1585 to combat the Reformation. We believe in a “day for a year” principle. You can’t apply that principle to one prophecy and dismiss it at another. There has to be consistency, else we open ourselves up to confusion, misapplication and to every wind of doctrine under the sun. I’m sorry, but in spite of who is giving a message, if it violates the fundamental rules of biblical interpretation, whether they are independent or from the conference, Gates or Finley... Liberal or Conservative, ecumenical or present truth... I myself, must align with a “Thus saith the Lord.” To the law AND TO THE TESTIMONY... if they speak not according to this word... I refuse to support a “who” for the sake of being a part of a particular “group”. It’s about the truth here. We are in the business of declaring prophetic events not setting prophetic dates.
@@silaslang It's true that definite time was test in other dispensations, but not in this dispensation which started in 1844. “The Lord has instructed me that the Message must go, and that it must not hang on time, for *time never will be a test again.* I saw that some were getting up a false excitement from preaching time; the Third Angel’s message can stand on its own foundation, and *it needs not time to strengthen it* , and that it will go in mighty power and do its work and will be cut short in righteousness.” {Ms1,1851.3} "Time has not been a test since 1844, and it *will never again be a test.* " {EW 74.2} "This time which the angel declares with a solemn oath, is not the end of this world’s history, neither of probationary time, but of prophetic time, which should precede the advent of our Lord. That is, the people will not have another message upon definite time. After this period of time, reaching from 1842 to 1844, there can be no definite tracing of the prophetic time."-Manuscript 59, 1900, 8, 9. (“Jots and Tittles, II,” August 16, 1900.) {1MR 100.1} ”Our position has been one of waiting and watching, with no time-proclamation to intervene between the close of the prophetic periods in 1844 and the time of our Lord’s coming .” Manuscript Releases, volume 10, 270. “ *Jesus has told His disciples to “watch,” but not for a definite time* . " {1SM 189.2} what do you do with these and many other quotes Jon?
Thank you for clearing this up. I had these very concerns you mentioned and wondered to myself. Now I know it's not just me. I had never heard of him before, but 3 different people sent me his video in the span of 24hrs. I also was a little surprised when he referred to himself as Uncle David. Uncld David who? I was in the dark as to who this man was calling himself Uncle David. One thing I did 't like: Anytime someone tries to disparage God's last day church and divide it, a yellow light goes off in my head. We are a family.
He has not cleared anythingup, u are just wanting to continue to sleep and keep sinning, wake up friend, he is acting on behalf of conference, not God Wake up!!!!
Because David Gates works primarily in Spanish-speaking countries, the children out of respect refer to him as Uncle David. This has been going on for many years. He's been a missionary for many years and was raised in the mission field when he was a child. He is not trying to divide the church. He is doing what Eze. 3 says to do. Warn people and call out sin. Jesus is coming for a pure people - His church. The things going on in the SDA denomination are an abomination to God and his government. David and a number of others are the bright lights right now. We should be thanking God for them. We desperately need them now.
Don't worry Saints we only have 5 months to see if these predictions will come to pass. If they don't I hope Pr Gates and Pr Brenner will with the same Zeal work to correct this error. How ever I pray we all do not sin against God by Unchristian behavior towards those who are in error and become more guilty than they are. May God have mercy on His people. As for me and my house we will not set dates.
@@1844-Telltheworld exactly. He's buffering his claim. If nothing happens he can say, "Well, I only said maybe!" but if something does happen, which is extremely likely as things are happening all the time in these last days, then he can say "told you so." and lead still more sheep astray.
@@jacobvero9403 What did Mark Finley do? First, if someone does not see the climate change agenda is not the Sunday Law, it is plain blindness. Second, Mark Finley talked about when speaking about the word, it is not to be based on feelings. That is true in certain sense if what the person is saying cannot be sustained by the word of God. The SDA church began with insight ka sense of feeling). On October 23, 1844, when Edson Hiram was walking through the cornfield to visit the other brethren, it was insight tha came ove him that Daniel 8:14 was speaking of the heavenly sanctuary. By praying and studying the Bible, the pioneers arrived to the conclusion that the insight was accurate. By reading the Bible, the Spirit of Propbecy and analyzing the measures that are being taken to combat climate change, one can see to the naked eye, this will bring the Sunday Law. People can see that there is a day to stop doing works that revolves around climate change. It is Sunday. Third, Pst. Finley talked about he believed God was still working through the church. That is true, He still does. But what is or who is the church? The Sanhedrin is not the church. The church is the body of Christ who is walking according to His will. Jesus left the Sanhedrin and called His disciples to spread the Gospel. The Sanhedrin was too blind to see the sign of time. I am not calling the top leaders, the Sanhedrin,. I do believe some of them are sincere, faithful believers just like in ancient Israel, we could find Nicodemus, Nathaniel etc. But, they need to be careful they do not turn into the Sanhedrin of ancient Israel. Fourth, hevtalked about an issue with time. The prophecies were given so we could pay attention to events and realize the time in which we are living. In Matt. 24:32,33 Jesus said; "Now learn a parable of the fig tree: when his branch is yet tender and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh. So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors." Prophecies were given so we know the time. The events are prophecies' time telling us to get ready. That notion of time that Pst. Finley was talking about and using the Spirit of Prophesy as back up is taking out of context. Fifth, Pst. Finley in response, also talked about time is not in essence, the church needs to get ready, go forward with the third angels' message. The church has been sitting for so many years, living like the world, if the people don't realize what time it is, how they gonna give the thrird angels' message. It is those who live a transformed life that can proclain the message. Ephesians 5:27 Jesus is coming to get church not having spot, or wrinkle or any such thing. (Manuscript 122, 1901)-Those only who through faith in Christ obey all of God's commandments will reach the condition of sinlessness in which Adam lived before his transgression. They testify to the love of Christ by obeying all His precepts. Brethren, do you see the four walls with the members really ready to be bride of Christ? Sixth and last, pst Finley discussed the judgemennt of the living. I disagree the judgement of the (all) living will be during the time of the mark of the beast. The church will be judged first. Since we are the people to bring the message of Revalation 18, the judgment of the church has to be done before the latter rain. Spirit of Prophecy explained the rain is fallin in two stages. First there will be a sprinkle. That is to wake up the church and prepared her for the full strenght of the latter rain which is the loud cry. The selection of the 144,000 for the loud cry has to be done. Therefore, he can't say the judgement of all living will be during the mark of the beast. Ancient Israel probation was closed, yet they continued to offer their sacrifices and not knowing they were rejected because they were blind. What happened is written to serve as example. I can't argue on the point of pst. Gates that the church has rejected the Spirit of Prophecy. I have not seen a video or document of the 2015 gathering. However, I saw and heard of several SDA local leaders rejecting the writings of Ellem White. I do not totally agree with wth the 3.5 years that pst. Gates discussed. However, I am delighted that he did not bring it forth as definitive. He did say, let say it doesn't occur. Get ready brethren, Jesus is coming soon. The events say it all.
80% of the comments obviously aren't from SDA who bias with David gates or whoever evangelist they have followed. I am from India,a community surrounded by Hindu and Muslim, i am searching true word and living word of God by flipping many gospels channel.Every Saturday I open to check this channel the day I found out Pastor mark sermon not knowing about his denominations.I always comes back knowing that something special holy power in him change me how i see the lives and how am i suppose to worship God since the past 1 year.He is the one who is anointed,his prayer through this satellite channel is powerful.I believe there is a strong power in His every bit of sermon.I had studied about the sacrifice he made for Jesus that many starts follows Jesus through him. I have never heard that SDA are working with pope or worship Ellen G white.Evrry preacher of SDA does mentioned Ellen G white but always sealed with Bible.They never worship Ellen G white.They use Ellen as a guide to understand the Bible.Then,i find out none of what Ellen wrote is wrong and apposite to the Bible at all.In fact it's relatable to our present world. This videos is important to clarify the videos of David gates.In his sermon,A year ago David mentioned SDA meet with pope and accused SDA and Catholics serving women who are Ellen g white and Mary. Catholics do worship Mary.But not SDA worship Ellen. SDA meeting with Pope is not a different thing as Me having a Hindu or a Muslim friends.Me having a friendship with a person who believe in Hindus and Islam doesn't make ME Non- christian. In fact Christian should be kind and friendly inorder to spread the word of God. It's okay to have meal with them,shopping with them,playing games with them.we can meet,we can be friends. Lastly Adventist believed in Sabbath and they learned Saturday according to biblical calender. Pope made Sabbath as Sunday. Sunday law will come sooner or later.Most of all,Every person died yesterday today tommrww cannot make it right the mistakes they did in life over again, so probation for them closed immediately.But Judgement is yet to come. So we must prepare thinking our breath can stop anytime. God bless you Pastor mark.
And you are right about all the points you make of our faith, but dont look solely on men. They sometimes fail. Look to God and read his word and yes you will find that our adventist faith is true. However, when you live in the United States you are able to see the abominations that take place and the changes made. That is why brethren here in the comments speak the way they do. There is infiltration in our church and it is real, there is bashing of one another because satan causes it. I will not say anything of Pastor finley's life and faith, other than I believe this attacking on David Gates is wrong. Lots of other pastors preach things that would be against what they believe is right, yet I dont see them making videos of them. This is a direct attack on David Gates, many against one.
It's so lovely to see this understanding and observation of yours. every quote of e.g white usually will be brought up with bible verse reference. Because Just like SDA motto.. it should be based on what "it is written"
Por favor traducir estos comentarios a español, pues la mayor audiencia del pr gates es latina nesecitamos aue aquello que se habla de el podamos entenderla mil gracias en el amor de Dios. Todo por el bien del pueblo de Dios.
Pray and read your Bible, there are some BITTER folks out here. If you stay ready, you don't have to get ready. God bless us all to be ready when he comes, time charts, dates, or not!
“Many Adventists have felt that unless they could fix their faith upon a definite time for the Lord’s coming, they could not be zealous and diligent in the work of preparation. But as their hopes are again and again excited, only to be destroyed, *their faith receives such a shock that it becomes well-nigh impossible for them to be impressed by the great truths of prophecy* .” {GC 456.2}
please give me a break... with all that is happening men of trusted position in the org. going to the vatican and waving the their flag in a conference meeting and Ted Wilson was ok with that and no out rage but you are concern about david gates???????????
He was correct. Even the prediction Mark is critisizing. Covid started in that year. And David never set an exact date and never claimed to be absolutely correct on anything, yet he was on the covid. The first global seige. Gates stood up for my freedom of conscience. The GC attacked mine under threat of buying and selling! The second global seige will come very soon. We are post Mark supporting violation of my conscience... Been post... nothing?....
And Loma Linda flues a rainbow flag? And Walla Walla hires a Sunday pastor as their new university president? And mon SDA text books are used in all of our SDA universities to teach truth?😢
Pastor Mark can you talk about these unclean deals that are taking place in the church today. Pagan worship entering into the church, embracing Catholicism in the church even up to Sunday worship, disco music so much more pastor don't lost the kingdom for little comfort here. Why are you leaders want put the church at sleep with your comfortable messages.
You promoted The Great Hope. Ted Wilson and a GC team took the millions donated for the distribution of The Great Controversy in 2012 and altered tit so much, deleting over 500 pp., made it acceptable to the pope, then said it was the same as the first book and then handed it out. I listened to David Gates and I know him well enough to know that he would never do to the Great Controversy that has been done. I know you said you were not involved, but you promoted it. David Gates is a godly man and the Lord does help him with all he does. You and Ted Wilson are not I’m the clear about the Great Hope. I am done listening to either of you.
The Lord has blessed Pastor David Gates with a message to send down the pipline of the Seventh Day Adventist Church to awake, shake and make aware that close of probation is imminent in its last hour. Here we are talking about it. Let the Lords will be done and pray his helper us sent upon us before it is too late.
Pastor Mark Finley please be quiet why you don't say anything about LGBT in the church Apostasy all over seventh day Adventist Church wake up wake up God have mercy on you.
I like the respectful level-headed logical approach from Pr Mark Finley. I always appreciated his Bible-centred statements. He never creates unnecessary hype and fear like others who grabs your attention by freaking you out, Pr Finley maintains sound, solid approach, gives proper guidance, held evangelical meetings in front of ten thousands in stadiums leading people to Christ. Thank you for allowing God to speak through you.
The longer I am listening to you Mr Finley the more painful it becomes. You are just completely confused about David Gates video. I don't think you have even watched the video.
Pastor Finley, I want to encourage you to actually watch the sermons by pastor Arthur Branner that pastor Gates recommended. The study he does on this topic is very thorough where as pastor Gates just touched on some things and did not give all the Spirit of Prophecy and Bible like Branner did. I would encourage you to watch them twice and take notes on the statements with provided S.O.P and Bible. What he provides backs it up completely so there is definitely something to this that we need to take a better look at. There are 3 sermons that I know of and pastor Gates provides the link. Please do your part by watching the original message with it's thorough delineation before writing off the message altogether. You really can't go by what pastor Gates goes over in his video, that wasn't the whole message with all the supporting evidence. It was really well done by pastor Branner. God bless you and I pray we are all ready for our precious Saviour's soon return.
While Pr. Branner's points that there is a future 3 1/2 year period shown clearly in Revelation and Daniel, his points about probation closing for God's people in a year is fanatical time-setting that we have been warned against.
"Time after time will be set by different ones, and will pass by; and the influence of this time setting will tend to destroy the faith of God's people." IT, p. 72
Finley u sold out as well u coating sis wight u is one out of the others rejected her testimony why u does not preach about the first angel message u also have to talk about the statement ted wilson make about the sunday law u was there on 3abm when they ask ted about the sunday law and he said the sunday law could be any day beside the Saturday why he did not explain that question the right way finley u all in this togethet pastor David Gates put ah disclaimer before he proceeded with his sermons he is sounding the trumpet Isaiah 58:1 finley is people like u that will make Adventist lost cause u bury ur one talent the lord give u I love u and ill pray for u
See what the Devil is doing, We are turning on each other instead of focusing on the work the Lord has called us to do. We should work together (THAT DOESN'T MEAN COMPROMISE). God has used and will use his people to shake up the churches if we are sleeping. Things are happening in the church which the devil is causing. I beseach us brothers and sister, Look not at the Leaders but instead to Jesus, that his Character be manifested in us. In the Ark of Noah there was only one window and it was placed in a on top and not the side. Continue to look up and not around. God Bless
"Our position has been one of waiting and watching, with no time-proclamation to intervene between the close of the prophetic periods in 1844 and the time of our Lord's coming."--10MR 270 (1888). {LDE 36.1}
Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
David Gates didn't say the NSL was in the "Paris Agreement". He didn't mention that, even once. He said the NSL was in the "Popes Encyclical". Something seemed "not right" about this. Seemed deceptive, like the "Great Hope".
Well then you better give up your home, empty your bank account like all those who have believed in Pastor David Gates previous doom-and-gloom false prophecies. Like in 2008 when he said Jesus would come back in 2008. Or in 2010 when he said a huge catastrophe would happen on 9/11 of 2010. Pastor David Gates has been a false prophet in the Seventh-day Adventist Church for several years and it is why Pastor Ted Wilson wants him banned from the Seventh Day Adventist Church. Be careful who you listen to in these last days when many false prophets will arise especially in the Seventh Day Adventist Church. Stay awake and do your homework on these prophecy tellers. Stay blessed! !
I think Finley just wanted to put it there so that we can think that we don't think the Paris agreement is linked to the National Sunday law. That just confirms that it is
earlysda the Paris agreement is in Link with the Sunday law. David Gates never mention that. Finley just put it out there so that we can think that is not. Finley is a Jesuit. He speaks as one. I'm not sure why you see me contrary. A true follower of Christ is someone who is surrendered to him. I am not sure where you got the impression that I am contrary in nature.
earlysda I was actually agreeing that David Gates never mentioned the Paris agreement. That Finley put it out there so that we believe that it has nothing to do with a National Sunday law. For you to tell me that I will not make it to heaven based on the fact that I noticed reveals your ignorance. Here is some wisdom for you to contemplate do you do not lack of it. Romans 10:6 6 But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)
I think that David Gates point was more that the church should get ready rather then his predictions of prophecy. He David gates admits as much. Why is everyone jumping up and down if someone says that we should get ready whenever God does return....
I agree that Brother David was emphasizing that we need to keep diligent in watching the signs of the time. Get ourselves ready for the time if trouble. He also was not intending to take the 42 months prophecy out of where it was. He just was mentioning the many times 3 and a half years are mentioned in the bible. They, Mark Finley and Doug Bachelor are so close minded and don't even talk about what's going on in the background. They are blind to see that Brother David is just trying to help us to dig and search and not be lukewarm..We have to be awake and pray for the holy spirit to show us and teach us what we need to do. Pray always everyday for grace and knowledge. We must also ask for wisdom. God bless you all.
The problem is that David Gates has quite a following and people are sharing his predictions and prophetic interpretations far and wide. Someone shared it in my SS class two weeks ago. Why promote questionable interpretations to get people ready for the second coming? Let’s stick with what is true and quit time setting.
I personally was let down by Elder Finley's stand in response to the watered down new great controversy a.k.a "great hoax". He failed to stand and condemn it."If God abhors one sin above another, of which His people are guilty, it is doing nothing in case of an emergency. Indifference and neutrality in a religious crisis is regarded of God as a grievous crime and equal to the very worst type of hostility against God."3T 280.3
Recently, Pastor David Gates was involved in a plane crash, which could had been fatal. I think Pastor Mark Finley should had at least mentioned that we are happy to know that our brother is doing well. Sometimes a little concern is more important than trying to make theology right!
The same thought went through my mind. But no mention that he is miraculously still alive, but just a video that attacks his message. I discern which spirit is behind this video, and it is NOT the SPIRIT OF GOD!
Rajeev Larka - You are right. I like both pastors, they are both on the same team but at least Pr. Finley should have even visited Pr. Gates as a brotherly gesture and then if they couldn't agree he would then be free to go public.
Well this life isnt as important as eternal life if some one loses their life but have eternal life that is more important that no one is misslead by false teachings
maybe Mark does not know that as I did not
Even William Miller was wrong about the event he predicted would take place in 1844 yet by his preaching and proclamations the people were awakened to the imminent coming of Jesus and the need to BE READY before the door of salvation closes. Likewise, David Gate's sermon was to WAKE THE CHURCH UP and much less about date setting. I found David Gates sermon to be hugely encouraging and I am even more determined to live for God in these last days before my name passes through the Heavenly courts. Blessings.
Amen! Soon and verry soon Jesus is coming again
God led in the message of William Miller. That was his will then. Then he told us thru Ellen White to NEVER have a time excitement again. So that's how we can know for sure that Br. Gates is not led by God in this issue.
@@earlysda Pr Gates stated it was his own opinion. He never claimed to be a prophet but instead was stating what he personally believed would take place early next year. It was a wake up call to be ready as these events are very near. How can the Conference speak out so quickly against Davd Gates but refuse to do a public video and address all the apostacy taking place in the Church at present. I would rather they leave David Gates to his own opinions and prefer to hear why the Conference is misappropriating our tithe money, why they are ordaining Lesbian ministers and elders in our church, the unbiblical women's ordination debate and the Great Hope debacle to name a few. David Gates refused to sign one of the points in the Church's Working Policy, which is why the Church is speaking out against him. Yet David Gates is on the frontline doing volunteer missionary work and trying to wake his beloved Church up. I want to be one of the wise virgins with oil in their lamp while waiting for Jesus return. (Furthermore, Pr Jeremiah Davis has been preaching for YEARS that there is only a few short months until the Sunday law is enforced, yet he has not been openly rebuked for preaching this because Pr Jeremiah Davis is still in the Conference, yet David Gates is not). However I do respect your opinion 🤗 Blessings.
Examine first yourself before you examine others David gate is true shepherd of Christ
I remember when I was a teenager that my youth group leader in my church was ran out of the church because he was sharing the book "Faith and Works" by Ellen G White which brought righteousness by faith to the surface, and the conservative members didn't appreciate the attack on their 10 commandments. Afraid of "new age religion." How they treated my youth group leader led me to hate the church and I left during a time when I had a lot of zeal but was young and knew nothing. I take full responsibility for my lack of commitment to God and for the time I spent separated from God, but it is a shame that so much division within the church is throwing many mixed messages to our youth and newer members. If only we could allow God to shake without our selfish motives causing unnecessary and painful aftershocks. I hope and pray we can all focus more on reflecting God’s character to the rest of the world, having no expectations from humans or demons other than what has been foretold by God, and having all faith in God that He will do as He promised and is in control of His church and directing it's leaders and trying the leaders as He does any other human. We can do nothing to change a person's heart. Only God can change a person's heart. Even our own. Forgive me for rambling. I just grieve over the cosmic conflict in every battlefield. Especially within the church. But I know that Satan works harder there than any other place. I am just a spiritual baby. I am as a child in my knowledge and wisdom and I have no words to say for encouragement or advice. But I do want to hold on to Jesus tighter than ever as I see and feel the very ground shaking beneath my feet. I want to pray more fervently for our church and my brothers and sisters.
Those who listened to Gates carefully did not even mind much about the time, but instead the need for preparation.
Precisely! I will heed the warning given by brother Gates regardless whether or not there is any validity to the time parallels. I want to avoid speaking ill about anyone but I would encourage others to be cautious of those that are influential in the SDA church. I don't know Gates very well but I feel that he has a genuine and vital connection with the Lord.
Sadly, you are probably half right, Nsanzumukiza. That is because they are not Bible students, and are instead just listening for something to tickle their itching ears. Of course when the time passes with nothing happening (like it has in the past with Br. Gates' ridiculous time predictions), some people will fall away from the truth.
@@earlysda ... Thanks for sharing. I'm not very knowledgeable on brother Gates, has he made many time predictions? What are some examples if you don't mind?
@@earlysda ... Not sure I understand your comment very well. He made the statement that people were not focused on the time predictions but on the need for preparation. What's that got to do with itching ears? Itching ears are attracted to the peace and safety nothing to see or hear here message. And if the time passes without occasion, people that have heeded the message to prepare are gonna fall away some how? I guess it depends how they prepared... Am I a poor student of the Bible if I decide to take the warning to heart and use the time for strengthening my relationship with my Lord?
Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: matt 24:32
Joel 2:28 "And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions.
I watched Gates' video and I thought it was on point... worse case it will cause us all to pray, read our Bibles, and ask for guidance from the Holy Spirit....what i do know is that Rome is focused and we are not...
A lot of opposition is coming from pastors that dont preach present truth i wonder why
Thank you Pastor Mark for your presentation done in a sweet Christian spirit. If brethren do disagree on some items, this is the way to do it. Greetings from the front lines, on the Amazon River in Brazil. Your long-time friend and brother, David
This is good.
God is with you always my dear Tio David, Thank you for always setting a good example in working in the front lines as we all should!
Dear beloved David , do not be discourage . For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
2 Timothy 4:1-4 (KJV)
God be with you in your great work that you are doing in order to help those people in need and preaching the truth!
I'm HERE TO SAY RIGHT NOW! IF NOT FOR UNCLE DAVID I WOUlD STILL BE DEPENDING ON MAN, PAYCHECK AND PENSION he has given the example on to make it from now and through NSL. Thank you Uncle David, Because of your messages I have realized what it is I have do in my life to get ready for Jesus. MOST IMPORTANTLY IS PUTTING IT ALL ON THE ALTER LIKE OU HAVE SAID AND DONE. THE ONES THAT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH "EVEN AT THE DOOR" cannot live now or NSL without GC paycheck. STAY STRONG no matter the negativity that is thrown to you by people that reject the massage that God wants his people to hear and obey. God Bless you and keep you always. I always look forward to hear from you. ps don't forget the gallon of propwash lol
After listening to Pastor Findley I know we can all go wrong when we put our feelings before our knowledge, I admire and know that Pastor David Gate is a man of God and he wants to devote all his efforts so that we Adventists wake up and leave our comfortable zone to enjoy sharing this sacred message, thank you for your conclusions and advice, I hope that as Uncle David all Adventists ask the guidance of the Holy Spirit to remain united to the end, may God bless you

“At times, when a small group of men entrusted with the general management of the work have, in the name of the General Conference, sought to carry out unwise plans and to restrict God’s work, I have said that I could no longer regard the voice of the General Conference, represented by these few men, as the voice of God. Testimonies for the Church, vol. 9, 260.2
And now for the rest of the entire quote and if you think that taken out of context is still accurate then you don't know how the church is organized to operate. Funny how my reference is the same and yet the quote is so much longer. Always look things up for yourselves. We should still be the people of the Book. "It is not a small group of men. "At times, when a small group of men entrusted with the general management of the work have, in the name of the General Conference, sought to carry out unwise plans and to restrict God’s work, I have said that I could no longer regard the voice of the General Conference, represented by these few men, as the voice of God. But this is not saying that the decisions of a General Conference composed of an assembly of duly appointed, representative men from all parts of the field should not be respected. God has ordained that the representatives of His church from all parts of the earth, when assembled in a General Conference, shall have authority. The error that some are in danger of committing is in giving to the mind and judgment of one man, or of a small group of men, the full measure of authority and influence that God has vested in His church in the judgment and voice of the General Conference assembled to plan for the prosperity and advancement of His work." 9T 260:2
Exactly what was done to David Gates! Shameful!
Amen!!!!!
The coming of Jesus Christ is at the door. Happy Sabbath from Dimapur India
Happy Sabbath from Texas, U.S.A.
Shabbat Shalom Dimapur India - a sister across the world!
If not for the Even at the Door sermon of David Gates, we would be stucked in Manila, lockdown for a year when the pandemic hit. But we were able to prepare leaving the city at least 3 months before the pandemic. My husband and I thanked God that we were able to watch that sermon Even at the door. No one in the mainstream SDA pastors saw it coming and warned the church. But Pastor David Gates did.
I recommend that instead of thanking brother David Gates for making your life better, Thank 😊 JESUS CHRIST up in Heaven, and The HOLY FATHER IN HEAVEN. The HOLY Spirit here on earth now, wants to continue to help and protect you, and open your understanding NOT TO FOLLOW ANY MAN on earth. Rev 14:1-5 "...they follow THE LAMB (Jesus Christ) whithersoever HE Goeth..." Not follow the errors and time setting and false predictions about "...the National Sunday Law will be enforced in 2019..." like David Gates falsely predicted. "WE LOOK FOR THE SAVIOR FROM HEAVEN...." Paul said.
Amen!!! Instead the GC forced liberty of conscience on the flock!! Amd lied to do it!
@@DVGomes no. not true.
When I heard Pastor gates I fell the urgency to be ready, even if Jesus doesn’t come in my lifetime, I know that urgency will pass to the younger generation. After listening to this video I felt discouraged, I’m getting more and more disappointed at the GEneral Conference.
God has told us thru Ellen White to NOT get up a time excitement. When it dies down, then it will be much harder to bring people up to a preparation when the real event comes. And speaking of the younger generation - they will learn of the failed time predictions of their "leaders", and probably reject all the truth of the Three Angels' Messages. So it is best to not preach error in the first place, wouldn't you agree?
Interesting how you are falling into the trap of following how you "feel." Therein lies your problem. Trust the Bible, not your feelings, and definitely not the wild inaccuracies of David Gates.
He is not setting a time line, he is making a call to wake up, and warning that the Sunday law is in process, and I do not make decisions just by feeling, I pray and read the Bible as well. I don’t see what’s wrong with God putting peace in my heart when I hear a sermon that encourages me to be ready, and that’s the feeling of urgency that I have in my heart. God bless you all.
@@michaelmateus8338 Nothing wrong with peace that passes understanding. I just found it strange that you were expressing how you felt discouraged by this video. A video in which a man humbly shares truth and points out many errors in David's message. Real errors. Errors that matter. Time setting was only one of the many errors David made, all while speaking from a pulpit. It's important to embrace truth and reject error.
Theyre proven to be church/state apostasy now. Just watch respected SDA pastor Conrad Vine's sermon title "money, money, money"
Mark Finley, David Gates, Ted Wilson, Doug batchelor they are all VERY GOOD PASTOR no need to argue about that if Sunday law is already applied today or not yet we just need to get ready for our coming savior Jesus Christ couse we don't even know when we are going to die.
I just went back to this video by David Gates which was posted 2 years ago. Mark, you need to go back a listen again.
Why? What is new? The predicted date of David gates has come and passed and what he predicted has not come to pass.
@@HL365--- Pastor Gate said: "it may happen if God allows it or it may not happen". He is not prophesying!
Pastor Gate said: "it may happen if God allows it or it may not happen". He is not prophesying!
Amen!!!!
@@HL365 no, not true.
Mark, you have to understand that when you say "my understanding of" is no different than David saying that his "understanding of it is". If I remember correctly David did say that this is what he believed, not that it is unequivocally fact.
When you say God showed me, or God told me, in effect you're saying that what you're sharing is infallible because it came from God. Pretty serious claims.
Yes, I agree. I do somehow remember a disclaimer of sorts, such as I mentioned in my comment. He did mention corroboration of his information with other like minded men, which can come from Bible study and fellowship. If he claimed to be speaking authoritatively (as a prophet) then I am skeptical, really, really skeptical. Do I think time is almost up, unequivocally yes, do I have good reasons to believe this, YES, do I have absolute proof, not so much. @@ronsagmuller1350
If your message needs as many disclaimers as David's did, then you shouldn't preach it in a public forum.
I hope that you're openning your eyes with whats happening around the world now, people don't seem to like the fact that jesus is at the doors and we have to pray for forgiveness and for the holly spirit !
I have great respect for Mark Finley. His name is well known in the Seventh Day Adventist Church and some people might say that he is one of the great speakers of our time. His message in the video covers the historical views of both Daniel and Revelation. However, the progressive focus of Daniel 8-12 is on the END TIMES. Mark, I guess my really important question is, what is the impact factor of your message for those who are living at the VERY end of time? Are the Ellen White quotes that you used consistent with ALL of her writings concerning TIME? Failure or insufficiency to look at ALL of her writings is a typical sign of bad research. Ellen White made it clear that the time prophecies in Daniel 12 were a part of the end time messages that extended to the second coming. She also said they were a part of the third Angels message. Mark, your research says that you have an axe to grind with David Gates, nothing more. Any attempt to inject emotion into a Biblical argument is usually a sign that the person making the argument has a motive other than finding out the truth. Mark, I disagree with your motives, there are many different people who have videos on RUclips that are talking about end time events, surely you don't agree with all of them but I've never heard you speak out against them. Emotion should not be your motive in Biblical research. It is also important to note, when there is a disagreement like the one presented by Mark, there is usually a political reason for the dispute. David Gates, wherever you are, probably feeding the poor in some far off land, stay strong! We know that you did not set a date for Christ return and you did NOT say that 2019 was a guarantee of Christ return. God bless you brother David. www.endtimeissues.com
same I said. I agree with you. Happy Sabath
There are two verbal corrections. One where Mark says 12,600 where he meant 1,260 (at 4:38) and another where he says historical and meant Historicist (7:10).
Pin your comment.
I think that you ought to make many more corrections. Your tone with Gates is disrespectful. Your facts are consistently off, throughout the message. At this point I believe that your motives are suspect.
Yea, maybe make a correction for violating the flocks freedom of conscience. He was correct. Even the prediction Mark is critisizing. Covid started in that year. And David never set an exact date and never claimed to be absolutely correct on anything, yet he was on the covid. The first global seige.
Gates stood up for my freedom of conscience. The GC attacked mine under threat of buying and selling! The second global seige will come very soon.
This is not about the two elders it is about our own personal relationship with Jesus. We were known as the people of the book, let us study the scriptures like the Bereans. Elder David is telling us to be ready. Elder Mark Finley is telling us understand last day events. I don’t agree with David but I believe that he has a message for the last days. Be ready! Elder Finley has been quiet about many evils happening in our church, he should speak up even as he speaks up against David.
Mark Finley is just telling the truth on what the Bible says....he is not attacking any other Christians. God Bless Everyone
I totally agree with you! If we attack each other, we cause confusion among the churches, the Christians. Let's stop this mess!
I heard that, I believe more, more, more that Pastor David Gates is correct. Get up people of God! The time is finishing for us. I am in Brazil, Rio Dr Janeiro. I will tell this for my friends and family.
He was correct. Even the prediction Mark is critisizing. Covid started in that year. And David never set an exact date and never claimed to be absolutely correct on anything, yet he was on the covid. The first global seige.

I know the SDA church. I don't believe those videos of the SDA church haters. Thank you pastor Mark Finely.
I was baptized by pastor Mark Finley back in Romania. Thank you for this update, my mom just found the pastor David Gates video and showed it to me. I am glad I found this video by Pastor Mark Finley. He goes by the Bible.
Mark Finley is speaking without knowledge. He has a high lofty opGod's Of himself. He works as the assistant to the head administrator of the world church and does his bidding not God's.
I Don’t like this disunity. You promote The Good Hope in favor of the Great Controversy. That book Good Hope is water down of the last day Events. 2. All Pastor David is saying get ready get ready get ready. And the Bible does say in Joel 2:28. I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions. I disagree with you on this video against Pastor David. This is causing more disunity. I’ve notice since Ted Wilson went off on Pastor David that you at General Conference has continued to black wall Pastor David and cause a lot of disunity. Get back to preaching the three angels message and stop the disunity of our church.
I’m not concerned at all because I know God is in control! What matters now is our personal relationship with our Savior and how we can spread God’s love to people around us so them can also be saved :)
Yes, you are right. Thanks for watching. May God bless you.
Amen 🙏
Even though Pastor David Gates may have committed a mistake stating a date during a preaching, he then recanted, I think that Pastor Gates has the best intentions for God's people, and he is preaching the present truth, let us not criticize each other, let us pray for each other.
David is the most selfless SDA pastor I know.
Yup. He stood up for my liberty of conscience while the GC violated and not one other big pastor spoke up, including Doug Batch... But I still dont think Doug is corrupt. Nobody is perfect. I pray Doug makes the correct choice next time. He helped bring me in, I pray that I can see Doug in the kingdom too Lord. Please reach Dougs heart with all this.
If this isn't the shaking... I don't know what is!
yes!
David Gates and the present truth brothera are not just only waking up the saints, but also waking up the SDA corporate world to revisit the three angels messages. Even if David Gates or anyone is wrong, Just like William Miller was wrong with the even, God still allow Miller to wake up Christians at his time. God is currently allowing shaking through what ever means He seams fit to wake up the saints. Individuals it's time to study your bible for yourself.
I I'm LAUGHING! !!! Why is that? because I just see God allowing a lot of persons to go check Bro.Gates message and this will allow everyone to STUDY for themselves, we depend too much on others to teach us (that's the Holy Spirits work) God will not ask any of these pastor about any of us HE WILL ASK YOU ,WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE, you have to study for yourself, so no matter want anyone comes up with you know for a fact what is truth and what is error,, see how worked up everyone is about these pastors ,WAIT this is CHILD'S PLAY to what is about to come up.
More evidence the Lord has already given HIS saints the victory
Careful brethren!
The devil does not care who has the TRUTH as long as he gets someone to argue.
Who's right and who's wrong here??
Time will tell (Mt 13:30)
Just be thankful that God is still on the throne!!!
I am grateful for the spirit of studying for both Pr Gates and Pr Finley. I strongly encourage us church members to PRAY more, then primarily STUDY the bible ON OUR OWN. Then keep on spreading the message in season and out of season: THAT'S OUR CALLING! We are not called to show publicly favoritism here. Be careful with your OWN EMOTION when you encounter a moment like this. At the end it's all about you and Jesus.
Whether or not David Gates is correct I feel a strong stirring to be prepared for it.
Same here. David Gates may be off in his interpretations, but Mark Finley and Doug Batchelor speaking out against him troubles me.
Thankfully we are not left to guess whether he is correct or not, we have the spirit of prophecy. We need not be ignorant regarding David Gates being correct or not. It's very simple; As long as he is advocating time setting his message will be one of error, fanaticism, and heresy according to the Spirit of Prophecy - advancing infidelity rather than christianity.
I do feel for him though. We must pray for him.
Guys, I know in my spirit that what uncle David said is true. And it also concerns me that so many pastors are going out of their way to try and convince the people of the opposite, and there are people that listen to them.... that is VERY dangerous to listen to these lullabies...we cannot afford to fall asleep now! The time is now!
@@Bianca4Jesus it is true that we need to wake up. But you cant use error to do that
From our Sabbath School lesson. Ellen G. White deeply deplored this state of affairs and encouraged all those involved in these discussions to think carefully about their relationship with Jesus and how love for Jesus ought to be demonstrated in our conduct, especially when we disagree. She also said that we should not expect everyone in the church to agree on every point of interpretation on all Bible texts
Robert Bar I am awake. I’m new at reading EGWhite books and studying Bible on daily minute basis. I’m aware Satan is in our churches. I don’t like all the fighting. All the video of Pastor David was about is get ready get ready get ready. And the GC condemns him at every video. Along with other pastors. Saved to Serve ministries says the same as Pastor David. And others. Do not understand GC. Leaders are asleep.
You live in a cocoon of imagination. I was a SDA born and brought up to be SDA. The church and mission policy has deteriorated to such an extend that when we questioned our church leaders from the bible about certain truths they asked us to leave the mission. Slowly but surely our Denomination has slipped back to the dark ages. They persecute anyone who dare to question them about anything. We say Jesus will come soon but the missions are all in disarray and the brotherhood is gone. I'm not surprised that you caution others about Pastor Gates cause he shows the zeal and enthusiasm for the Lord like the SDA of old. He doesn't dilute to please any GC members or bosses. You should have awarded and supported him and helped him to expand the Lord's work that he doing, instead you choose to be the Saint that cautions ppl about Pastor Gates. So have all and again all the nations drunk of the cup of the beast.... May the Lord bless Pastor Gates and his work. Come out of her my ppl Christ calls..for SDA as a Church has fallen.
@Hubris I know what you mean yet the Lord told the disciples to flee the city of Jerusalem when they saw the Romans and they did...and were saved. Might I ask you to follow the current world events more closely. You might really be surprised. You can also try a utube video from Walter Veith
@Hubris the advent movement started because of the numbers that predicted the Lord had entered into the most holy place. Many fell away and left their Faith. E.G White continued with the study. There will be a great shaking and many shall be deceived by their Faith in fixed faiths of tradition and caution. Pastor Gates isn't divine but he does have his faith. Do you really believe the scriptures then it clears states that even your sons and daughters will have visions. If no one is left even the stones shall declare the 3rd Angel's msg. Th at all the world shall hear. Why are you being sceptical? If there is a doubt then take to the Lord in prayer and fasting. He will not let you down if you but ask Him. It's useless to sit hours debating whether to be or not. Do what you do in faith and trust with prayers and fasting. Then no one will be deceived. There is no shortcut to heaven. Broadway is the road that leads to hell. Narrow and hard is the path of saints. If you doubt try to find the truth with God. It will be too late to wait for the Sunday law proclamation. The door to reach our Lord closed. Like the foolish virgins we would be left behind. Even the elect could be deceived. Why wait for the law. The signs are all around you. The knowledge has increased by far leaps and bounds, there is war and rumers of war everywhere. The ppl are being herded into mass groups. There is violence debauchery and mockery of the Lord. The storms are growing more unpredictable and climate change is a reality. The divide between the rich and poor is at its highest. Humanitarian emotions are dying. Ppl are eating living for pleasure without bothering about anyone else. The nation's too are at each other's throats...If you don't see that as the prophecy being fulfilled than what do you think it is? Even the unbelievers believe that the end of this earth is near.
Amen!!!
The Bible says: in Matt. 7:16 “Ye shall know them by their fruits...” a number or new generation pastors now support what’s going on in the world! Pr. Gates is one who has done a lot in the mission field. How can he be hateful to SDA’s when he wants to wake his fellow SDAs to be ready for the 2nd coming? Think. We don’t hear much about the second coming and end times for fear of scaring the new believers. The truth may be painful or offensive to some, but how is one’s salvation when a sermon is watered down so not to offend? Yes, the conference tend to care about the number of baptisms, but how many newly baptized stay? Yes, it is very critical to point people to what is more important... the salvation of mankind.

What the main message is about is to be ready, be ready, be ready!
Even if nothing happens in spring 2019, we should be ready. Your message should have been one of blowing the trumpet my friend, not trying to counteract a message from God. Wake up Pastor Mark , wake up Pastor Mark, wake up Pastor Mark.
@Mr AndersonWow!!! Have mercy Jesus on us.
Indeed he cannot be a man of God, with Christmas trees in his home, and joining with the woman of Babylon last 2010 on Atlanta Ga. Sad indeed.
Amen
@Mr Anderson amen
It's interesting to see you commanding these people to wake up as they are preaching the soon return of Jesus on a daily basis.
@John Nevins Andrews Amen! It never ceases to amaze me how some people enjoy fantasy more than truth.
Wow this is from our brother who pushed the great hope which took out everything out of the Great Controversy that spoke ill of the Catholic Church. About 42 chapters, so now our catholic friends can read it and not be offended. I was catholic, if I would of read the great hope I would still be catholic.
Still, David Gates is times setting and therefore a false prophets advancing infidelity according to the spirit of prophecy.
The enemy is after Brother david gates but God will uphold,sustain and cheer him up.
AMEN
Did Mark Finley post a video when Dr. Ganoune Diop shake hands with Pope?
There is no such video, the question is why not, the answer is clear.
exactly!!!
Uncle David Gates IS a Man of God,a Beautiful Soul who cares greatly for Gods people..Mockers & accusers are Fools!
AMEN
According to scripture calling your brother a fool is in danger of the judgement. Look it up
@@armygurldesigns8151 That is true,Sorry..maybe Nasty or unchristlike are better words..Hopefully those who are Brothers in Christ,whether that be Pastor Finley or others who have a problem with another Brothers opinion,go to him in private first..Matthew 18:15-17..before broadcasting their disagreements across social media..I believe in these times our Leaders should be united in Love & Truth,not be openly disagreeing.
@@TrenchardHands True, but as Pastor Finley said, normally that's the process he would take. However, and I agree with him. The organization and prophetic writings were publicly challenged and misrepresented by Bro Gates, therefore it had to be dealt with publicly and if we stopped and listened Pastor Finley never attacked Bro Gates. He addressed the issues. Not the person. It is my belief that our brethren wants to work together in support of the work. The devil is busy trying to tear the church apart. We must stand united!
well if nothing else all these videos should get us studying and PRAYING and fasting and get ready get ready get ready. i love all of you
Pastor Finley, why did the church vote to approve the document if all it did was to support existing policy?
I am not here to take sides or judge.. I've followed these two leaders, and all I'll say is this, "by thy fruits, you shall know them," From my experience, growing up in the Caribbean, during the mango season we only stoned the the ripe-laden trees, not the green or non-fruit ones.
We're grown, we will not be deceive
Thank you Elder Finley for pointing out from the Scriptures and the writings of Ellen White, the statements that keep our feet in the path of truth. I also appreciate that this was not a personal attack on Brother Gates as you point out we cannot judge his sincerity as we know he has sought to serve the Lord and hasten His coming for years. It is clear however that there is are no more time prophecies since 1844. I am so thankful to be a Seventh-day Adventist Christian for such a time as this. The Lord has His hand on the helm and this ship is going through. Hallelujah!
Hallelujah
David Gates did NOT give a date! He merely pointed out that the deadly wound is healed and events are ramping up. It is a POSSIBILITY that big events could happen in the Spring - and by the way - he's not the only one saying this. This ship is the Titanic! The ship going through means CHRIST'S church - not the GC!
Pastor finly may God give you strength to walk with you till the end of your life. Never give up on teaching truth. Its sad that he attacks you we don't need to attack each other but pray for one another
If you want to see a true pastor a true Christian, you will see a person that doesn't have worldly things in they heart, also will live same way as Jesus lived, the richest man in a humble way. Jesus doesn't match with most of the pastors, living in they luxury and lust of the world.
Christ is the ideal example for Pastors.
I posted a comment earlier, I am sorry to have offended Mark Finley. I believe in the Adventist faith as the Lord called it to be. I listened to his comments and was upset to hear that said about David Gates. I have listened to Uncle David and and feel strongly that he may have something there;his message is a warning. I have also listened to Mark Finley and have heard everything he has said over the years, so I didn’t mean to come off disrespectful. He and his wife are doing much for the Lord. Please forgive me Pastor Mark. I didn’t like what Pastor Doug said on Facebook, posted a letter that Scott Ritsema sent to Uncle David. I think all comments should be sent to Uncle David directly. I know what Uncle David is saying and why. It’s not far fetched, I feel strongly that Jesus is coming too. I also have had dreams where I’ve been impressed that Jesus is coming imminently. Let’s get ready. Look up David Gates, SDA on RUclips and listen for yourself. Look for the books Mission Pilot and Mission Miracles and see what I’m talking about. Uncle David has a special message, a burning desire to help wake anyone up who thinks Jesus is coming someday, but probably not in their lifetime.
Solution: We just need to stop being credulous Christians and start studying the Word for ourselves.
With the Holy Spirit's guidance, everyone is capable of figuring out what the LORD requires of each one of us.
Thank you very much Pastor Finley. We need more people standing up for the truth and trying to live by biblical standards.
But do you know that the condition of 7th day church in Mumbai is very bad. People want teacher who loves God and doesn't say that don't attend church other wise I will beat you and with false charges.
The person was about to commit suicide because of church other seniors only listening and not responding to Pastor dirty words.
And the victim is a member and God repairer of breach, Evangelist and teacher. He is also used by God to perform miracles but upset for where to take new souls when Pastor......?
What is this Pastor Mark?
Please let Pastor Dough be informed about this.
Jeremiah 23: 1. Then
Should we also quit 7th day Adventist Church.
Please help us.
Thanks
@@vinodraghuvanshi8802 I am praying for you and your church and I will ask others to do the same. God's word in the Bible is truth. Don't look to others for your salvation, keep looking to Jesus.

Finley hate to Pastor David, is no good.
I’m not even a Seventh day Adventist but I know when a leader of a Organization like the General conference of seventh Adventist. Says there is no Sunday law in the pipeline? When all I’ve seen for years of studying the writings of Ellen White and following scriptures. It tells us it’s coming! So there’s no way the leader of the church can even say that?! But he did and this guy doesn’t even talk about Ted Wilson’s comment about Sunday law?! Jesus is coming soon and almost all the prophecies have been fulfilled! Amen!
We can"t Judge for ourselves the Spirit of God convinces us of truth This is not a debate
There is no Sunday Law "in the pipeline". God has already told us in his holy words given to Ellen White that after his judgments on the land (America especially) people will clamor for a Sunday Law. There is no way, according to God, that the NSL will come in by stealth as Br. Gates and Branner state. We need to study and be ready, and give the 3 Angels' Messages with great power!
Pastor Finley never said there is not Sunday Law in the pipeline, the issue here was not about that. He simply addressed pastor Gate's analysis connected to the Paris accord, which with all due respect to elder Gates I believe he is incorrect. All conscientious Adventists firmly believe the Sunday law is on the horizon.
@@shazbk7616 My comment was addressed to Michael Diaz, who obviously believes the statements by some that there is a Sunday Law in the pipeline. I'm trying to show that the NSL will NOT be by stealth in some Climate Change legislation. It will come about when people CLAMOR for it.
@@earlysda Well said!!!
It is very funny that Mark is commenting and have concerns about what David said about the pope but didn't have concerns about LGBT getting married, baptized and leadership role in our church. Hypocrite.....
Don't talk like that. 😢. You are a sinner . Ask God for forgiveness. Looks like you are not watching his videos lately.
Pastor Finley, Pastor Gates understands that. Historically SDA's see the 1260 days or 42 months of revelation "anchored" in the dark ages. However he, Gates, is just sharing what could be a possibility of viewing the days of Daniel 12 as "literal" days (Yom - Hebrew word use). And please take under consideration the sequence of the days; 1st the 1260, 2nd the 1290, last the 1335. That means that the parting date for all these dates start from the beginning of the 1260! In other words, the 1260 days begins the chain reactions of expected events to occur! We SDA's place them on or before 1844. The 1260 days began on 538, the 1335 began on 509, and the 1290 on 554. This set up contradicts Daniel 12. And we did this because if we expected Christ after 1844, Daniel 12 had to b fulfilled before or on by 1844. That's why Gates's state's that Daniel 12 should b seeing as literal "days" n as well as prophetic. The issue is that (and I understand no one wants to b seeing as a Hal Linsey or Harold Camping), we SDA's are standing in the side walk for further instructions (as it relates to prophetic interpretation) cause we don't know what's next! We r in limbo, because no sign of HOW the "siege of the church" (in modern times - Luke 21; Matt. 24)) would take place.

This is an honest disagreement with Bro. Gates using Biblical and SOP supporting texts. I certainly agree that time-setting is huge problem with Bro. Gates' message. We always need to be ready. If fear is your motivation, you are following the wrong spirit. "God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind." 2 Tim. 1:7
Beautiful verse ! “Those who think they must preach definite time in order to *make an impression* upon the people do not work from the right standpoint . The *feelings* of the people may be stirred and their *fears* aroused, but they *do not move from principle* . An *excitement* is created; but when the time passes, as it has done repeatedly, those who moved out upon time fall back into *coldness, darkness, and sin , and it is almost impossible to arouse their consciences without some great excitement* .” Testimonies, volume 4, 308.
I love your gentle and calm disposition in this timely exposition of biblical truth.
May the Lord continually strengthen you in Jesus Name, Amen.
Amen. I agree
Daniel Moses a gentle kind jesuit
Oh dear people, have we become so numb to "comments" and "criticism", are we so pulled down by our own opinions that we do not see how we are all being manipulated by the enemy? Focus....refocus on Jesus! Stop... please....stop this unnecessary madness....stop opening the door to sin. Don't give up your Salvation....the one thing that Jesus came to this earth to offer each of us because of our foolish self centered need to have an opinion. Oh my heart is sad for all of us.
I believe pastor David Gates is one of the true servant of God in the last days. Thanking God that He has few good men like Him.
Thanks for your comment.

MY CONCERN IS WHY THEY ARE TRYING TO PUT PEOPLE TO SLEEP ? PEOPLE NEED TO BE WAKE UP .--- THEY ARE MISS INTERPRETED THE WORD OF DAVID 'S GATE.-- DAVID KNOWS VERY WELL 160 YEARS PERIOD ALREADY PASS. -- HE NEVER SAID THIS PROPHECY IS TO COME.
@@CliffordOwusuGyamfi u need to wake up brother.
Pastor Finley , pastor David gates, and pastor dough bachelor should get together and pray together and discuss this matter. I have a strong believe that this men are true pastors! Can you consider this pastor?
Valentin Villegas ....separation must take place. I am with my brother David Gates side.
The only true pastor here is David gates The other's so called pastors are trying to mislead people with there peace and safety in the church. Jesus spoke strait truth when He walks on this earth. And the church in His days did the same with Him, as they do to David Gates now. David Gates is a real Shepard to the flock of Christ. I am sick of listening to people's sermons that don't give you the PRESENT TRUTH for these days. Our people doesn't even KNOWS WHAT is going on in this world. I can Google on the internet but not all have that privilege. And if you listen to pastor's like Finley and Ted WILSON, YOU will never, GET READY FOR JESUS'S SECOND COMING. David Gates is speaking PRESENT TRUTH FOR THIS TIME AND IS WAKING GOD'S PEOPLE OUT OF SLUMBER. IT'S TIME TO WAKE UP, AND GET READY, GET READY, GET READY!!!
@@shedelangeable Br. Gates is doing what the SOP says "Greatly retarding the work of God" by getting up a time-excitement. It is very exciting now, but after April 2019 passes and nothing happens (just like 2015 passed, and Br. Gates' predictions didn't come true then), some people will lose faith and drop out by the way. Br. Gates' has the blood of these souls on his hands. I hope and pray he repents and resolves to follow all of God's holy words.
I agree wit u Pastor Finley, the Lord is not waiting for time or events, he’s waiting for transform hearts...
"Christ is waiting with longing desire for the manifestation of Himself in His church. *When the character of the Saviour shall be perfectly reproduced in His people, then He will come to claim His own* . It is the privilege of every Christian, not only to look for, but to *hasten* , the coming of our Lord. Were all who profess His name bearing fruit to His glory, *how quickly* the whole world would be sown with the seed of the gospel! *Quickly* the last great harvest would be ripened, and Christ would come. {CT 324.3}

"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 beginning 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 that they might not stumble. 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 said the city was a great way off, and they expected to have entered it before. Then Jesus would encourage
15
them by raising His glorious right arm, and from His arm came a light which waved over the Advent band, and they shouted, "Alleluia!" 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 lost sight of the mark and of Jesus, and fell off the path down into the dark and wicked world below. Soon we [SEE APPENDIX.] heard the voice of God like many waters, which gave us the day and hour of Jesus' coming. The living saints, 144,000 in number, knew and understood the voice, while the wicked thought it was thunder and an earthquake. When God spoke the time, He poured upon us the Holy Ghost, and our faces began to light up and shine with the glory of God, as Moses' did when he came down from Mount Sinai." {EW 14.1}
Just from Kenya. I respect you elder because you are my leader; I I wish you also corrected elder Ted Wilson when he said that Sunday law is any other day of worship than Sabbath when the Bible say Sunday worship in the Sunday law

@@magdleneacuna1664 ready the book of Daniel 7:25 and go to the history of especially the empire Constantine the years of 312ad onwards and also read the book of revelation 13:1- and weather Sunday law does not appear.
@@jaredmomanyi5063 spot on. you could have asked them where in the bible do you find millenium, it's the study as you have shown that allows you to understand and not mere word gymnastics, beautiful.
Personally I read that I am supposed to follow the word and not any men. I tried to listen and compare to the Bible. This applies to any leader/ pastor. Bible says “you will know them by their fruits.”
EGW: "This is the testimony I have borne ever since the passing of the time in 1844: ‘Time after time will be set by different ones which will pass by; and the influence of this time-setting will be to destroy the faith of God's people.’...I have borne the testimony since the passing of the time in 1844, that there should be no definite time set by which to test God's people. The great test on time was in 1843 and 1844; and all who have set time since these great periods marked in prophecy were deceiving and being deceived." {LS80 221.1}
@Edwin Shoo Wheather or not the US stays in the Paris agreement has nothing to do with Biblical prophecy in the sense of setting time. If EGW has, again and again, emphasized that there will be no time setting after 1844 then I choose to side with her and not speculations that at the end may hurt the church.
Amen! Oh that the people of God should see their error and return with humility and contriteness before they are consumed into darkness and lose the way from the path that leads to the promised Kingdom of God. Many shall fall away from that narrow path. We must stay on the path, looking back to the great light God has given in the past which will be a light unto us that our feet may be sure.
David Gates' disclaimer at the beginning is what did it for me. I have no problem with his presentation after his precautionary disclaimers. I am never one to follow anyone blindly, and that includes David Gates. But between Mark Finley and David Gates; if I had to choose between the two, i will most certainly choose David Gates' overall message of admonition. A word to the wise, is sufficient.
The prophets in the Bible never used disclaimers. So why are the ones saying that they are following God have disclaimers. Is JESUS speaking to them or not?
It is like so-called Christians saying that they believe the Bible, but.... you know this creation thing, science has proved wrong. they use man-made science as their disclaimer.
Hi Mark Finaly. I’m really excited and looking forward to your rebuke video against the decisions of Ted Wilson. When’s the release date?
Whether we agree with Gates or Mark Finley, all has to be done with respect as it is meet for Christians. Other than this we need to question the spirit actuating us
Agreed. I think Finley, Batchelor and Ritsema should act more Godly.
There is no doubt the church has fallen into serious apostasy.
You know my dear Brother Finley, as I have heard both your sermon or comment and Brother Gates' sermon as well, the main thing that I see in bothe your commentaries is an appeal for those who haven't surrendered to Jesus do so, heart, mind and soul; and that those who have made a profession renew their commitment more deeply and get ready, get ready, get ready and study and pray, pray, pray! Sincerely, Patricia A. Lowe, member at Eau Clair SDA church, Eau Clair, Mich.
We can not get ready when we believe error, error is never harmless. It destroys and brings darkness and sin.
" *Error is never harmless. It never sanctifies* , but always brings confusion and dissension. It is always dangerous. The enemy has great power over minds that are not thoroughly fortified by prayer and *established in Bible truth* . {CW 46.2}
do not show your identity on this site
I wonder if Pastor Finley has watched all three of the sermons in the " Even at the Door" videos?
I have a review of "Even at the Doors" on my channel, showing where it deviates from God's holy words.
The Word of God clearly states that we shall not murder. Why then do you wax eloquent on various other subjects but cannot raise one word to speak out about our church murdering the unborn? Have you also deluded yourself to believe that it is okay to take the life of an unborn child? This issue is directly salvational Mark, there will not be any murderers in heaven...and that includes those that support murder by default (when you have a choice to make a stand). Your silence is your answer and seals your destiny....unless you repent
To all who has taken part in commenting, I would want u to take some time in reading what I am willing to talk about all these shakings that have been going through from past few days.
Though the things going within the church might not be convincing whether it is right or not ... Let us not focus into such things about who is right or wrong ...neither let us condemn anyone but rather pray for all our church leaders.
We are ought to know that good things and bad things will happen within the church but just because of that, let us not fall prey to what we see happening within the church lest we turn our focus from Christ and the spirit of prophecy and turn a prey to the devil.
We r ought to know that these things will happen within the church but we are to turn our eyes from all these conflicts and move forward with Christ and the spirit of prophecy that is readily available to all ..let us not loose our focus on the things which concerns our eternal salvation the most.
Let us not forget that by involving in such arguments regarding the things happening within the church we are forgetting what the devil is looking forward to turn away our eyes from Jesus and the spirit of prophecy by being involved in the conflicts arising within the church.
Yes I agree it is good to know the things happening within the church personally. Yes but let us not focus on these things but rather be wise in moving forward with Jesus knowing that these things will happen within the church. Let us not allow our mind to dwell upon such things that happen around us ...but let us fix our eyes on Jesus and spirit of prophecy which the Lord has given us and move forward to the day that the Lord has appointed himself to come.
Well said.
Pr. Mark Finley please do not talks about Pr David Gates, Talks about What the church is doing about 3 angel message. The church is not doing the job, about profecy the church is sleeping what are you doing about the church, please help and pray do not talks about any other person, in the church the roman are inside the church, are doing some thin g about ?
Charly, Pastor Finley's purpose is not to attack David Gates. He wanted to show the grave errors in David Gates' video called Even at the Door. David Gates was time setting which is against what God has revealed. Unfortunately, many have followed him on that trail. So, this video was to show that there is no biblical precedence for that. Obviously, those dates that he set are past and therefore, what David gates was preaching is proven false.
Regarding the church preaching the 3 angels' messages, there have been efforts to preach the 3 angel's message. Have you seen our series on 3 angel's messages which has reached thousands of people with the truth: ruclips.net/p/PLILDvXAtv9JhTnlAFfsG2_JdFbzYuaQhI
Instead of accusing the church, it would good for you to share the message of the coming of Christ in your sphere of influence. If you are involved in it already, then Praise God. We pray that your work will expand and reach more people. If you are not involved, then instead of pointing fingers we pray that you will be involved in sharing the good news of what Jesus is doing and will do for His people.
The scriptures say we wrestle not against flesh and blood, friend. It's a power to sway us to Satan and lose our souls when error is involved but its truth that brings the heart to God and the church will flourish once we give our whole hearts its not people or pastors that we are to look too.

David Gates has an independent ministry separate from the SDA church. Why does Mark Finley care what David Gates is doing?
He is royally jealous of the successful work DG is doing, unlike his compromised, time-serving hireling position. He was silent like the dead when Wilson lied that the MOB is keeping any other day......
Wow. Thank you for your comment. Yes, the SDA leadership is silent and only jumps when the jesuits say to.
I'm amazed how some pastors are attacking David Gates, yet no one word against the worse atrocities many influencial pastors within the denomination are doing. Are they thinking we don't understand what hipocrisy is? Sad period of time we're living in.
This is a thought I have every-time men of influence would direct the spirit of the Lord. Now that said I do wish brother Gates would avoid the time emphasis and focus only on the core of his message that Jesus is coming soon. Now consider this brother Finley: “But the Holy Spirit will, from time to time, reveal the truth through its own chosen agencies; and no man, not even a priest or ruler, has a right to say, You shall not give publicity to your opinions, because I do not believe them. That wonderful “I” may attempt to put down the Holy Spirit’s teaching. Men may for a time attempt to smother it and kill it; but that will not make error truth, or truth error.” (Ellen G. White, Letter to the Battle Creek Church, ‘Danger of Rejecting Truth’, written from “Sunnyside," Cooranbong, N.S.W. May 30th 1896)
“A very dangerous element is coming into our ranks with the idea that certain workers are set to be mind and judgment for their brethren. God never intended this to be; for such a course leaves no freedom for the Spirit of God to work.” (Ellen G. White, Letter to Elder G. B. Starr Sydney Australia, October 1st 1907)
Because they know he has great influence. They want the people to stay sleep!
Thank you elder Mark for the detailed explanation of excellent response video. I believe pastor David Gate is sincere in his massage and wants many of our members to be saved but we do need leader like Elder Mark Finley to straighten things up whenever it is needed. If anyone says what he wants to say and there is no one who will correct it, our church will be in a great disaster. May our Lord bless both ministers. Pastor Stephen Moethapo, Karen Ministry, NAD

Joel 2:28 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: 2:29 And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit. 2:30 And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. 2:31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come.
I’ve watched both this video and Paster Gates Video. I have to conclude the Paster Finely defended his position solely on clear statements from the SOP regarding the setting of time prophecies. Sister white is clear that there will be no more time prophecies.
I love the work that Paster Gates has done, he has been a great inspiration to many of us. But when you weigh his revelation to that of the SOP, as well as our historical stance on the 3 1/2 yr, 42 month 1260 day/yr interpretation, it comes up short. Finley is right. You can’t transfer the time period over in this way. Also, considering the clarity of what the SOP says, Time Prophecy finished in 1844. You can’t change those statements.
We were firm in the belief that the preaching of definite time was of God. It was this that led men to search the Bible diligently, discovering truths they had not before perceived. Jonah was sent of God to proclaim in the streets of Nineveh that within forty days the city would be overthrown; but God accepted the humiliation of the Ninevites, and extended their period of probation. Yet the message that Jonah brought was sent of God, and Nineveh was tested according to His will. The world looked upon our hope as a delusion, and our disappointment as its consequent failure; but though we were mistaken in the event that was to occur at that period, there was no failure in reality of the vision that seemed to tarry. - {CET 54.4}
Yet God accomplished His own beneficent purpose in permitting the warning of the judgment to be given just as it was. The great day was at hand, and in His providence the people were brought to the test of a definite time, in order to reveal to them what was in their hearts. The message was designed for the testing and purification of the church. They were to be led to see whether their affections were set upon this world or upon Christ and heaven. They professed to love the Saviour; now they were to prove their love. Were they ready to renounce their worldly hopes and ambitions, and welcome with joy the advent of their Lord? The message was designed to enable them to discern their true spiritual state; it was sent in mercy to arouse them to seek the Lord with repentance and humiliation. - {GC 353.1}
This test would reveal the strength of those who with real faith had obeyed what they believed to be the teaching of the word and the Spirit of God. It would teach them, as only such an experience could, the danger of accepting the theories and interpretations of men, instead of making the Bible its own interpreter. To the children of faith the perplexity and sorrow resulting from their error would work the needed correction. They would be led to a closer study of the prophetic word. They would be taught to examine more carefully the foundation of their faith, and to reject everything, however widely accepted by the Christian world, that was not founded upon the Scriptures of truth. - {GC 354.1}
Jon Richard I truly believe that this is a test for those who claim to believe the SOP, whether they will accept the clarity of its statements or the opinions of a revered and respected leader. There’s a lot of man worshipping going on in both camps. As a people we’ve fallen victim to a “celebrity Adventist” culture.
@@Project4SIGHT the bible says men will have dreams and prophecy. but even beyond that, Gates message is not a major prophecy of time setting. he even took great pains to emphasize this. hes showing us that the Sunday Law movement is moving forward. He's not saying any date is definite, or that the Sunday Law will be here next Spring. What he's saying is that its just around the corner and that it looks interesting in terms of old established prophecy, and that it seems to fit the 3.5 years. He saying big things may happen next Spring in the push for the law. But we all know through SOP that there will be a big movement across the the world to push for a Sunday Law, and that the populace will demand it from their leaders. There will be one tragedy after another, and this will all be blamed on Sabbath keepers. There is a Sunday Law ready to go. the time for it is going forward. its getting closer and closer. many things have to happen before it is to be decreed by our US government. but i dont think its possible to happen this Spring. all said , I still support Gates' message and want to hear more. get ready , get ready , get ready!
iztheterrible I respect Paster Gates and his labours. If it wasn’t for his testimonies I would never have gotten involved in the work.
With that said, I have to measure what he said in his video to the SOP AND... our fundamental beliefs concerning the interpretation of biblical time prophecy.
He clearly stated that probation on the Church would close around the spring, March and April specifically, of 2019. That’s what he said. And though he may have eluded to “not setting a date”, this is exactly what was done.
The SOP says that there will be “no more time prophecy.” There will be no more prophecy based on time. No message from God will come to us as a movement that will be centred around time. That’s SOP... that’s E.G White...I have to accept those statements, in-spite of who is giving the message.
Secondly, we DO NOT believe in a literal 3 1/2 year time prophecy. That’s Futurism... that’s JESUITISM, invented by Francisco Ribera in 1585 to combat the Reformation. We believe in a “day for a year” principle. You can’t apply that principle to one prophecy and dismiss it at another. There has to be consistency, else we open ourselves up to confusion, misapplication and to every wind of doctrine under the sun.
I’m sorry, but in spite of who is giving a message, if it violates the fundamental rules of biblical interpretation, whether they are independent or from the conference, Gates or Finley... Liberal or Conservative, ecumenical or present truth... I myself, must align with a “Thus saith the Lord.” To the law AND TO THE TESTIMONY... if they speak not according to this word...
I refuse to support a “who” for the sake of being a part of a particular “group”. It’s about the truth here. We are in the business of declaring prophetic events not setting prophetic dates.
@@silaslang It's true that definite time was test in other dispensations, but not in this dispensation which started in 1844.
“The Lord has instructed me that the Message must go, and that it must not hang on time, for *time never will be a test again.* I saw that some were getting up a false excitement from preaching time; the Third Angel’s message can stand on its own foundation, and *it needs not time to strengthen it* , and that it will go in mighty power and do its work and will be cut short in righteousness.” {Ms1,1851.3}
"Time has not been a test since 1844, and it *will never again be a test.* " {EW 74.2}
"This time which the angel declares with a solemn oath, is not the end of this world’s history, neither of probationary time, but of prophetic time, which should precede the advent of our Lord. That is, the people will not have another message upon definite time. After this period of time, reaching from 1842 to 1844, there can be no definite tracing of the prophetic time."-Manuscript 59, 1900, 8, 9. (“Jots and Tittles, II,” August 16, 1900.) {1MR 100.1}
”Our position has been one of waiting and watching, with no time-proclamation to intervene between the close of the prophetic periods in 1844 and the time of our Lord’s coming .” Manuscript Releases, volume 10, 270.
“ *Jesus has told His disciples to “watch,” but not for a definite time* . " {1SM 189.2}
what do you do with these and many other quotes Jon?
Thank you for clearing this up. I had these very concerns you mentioned and wondered to myself. Now I know it's not just me. I had never heard of him before, but 3 different people sent me his video in the span of 24hrs. I also was a little surprised when he referred to himself as Uncle David. Uncld David who? I was in the dark as to who this man was calling himself Uncle David. One thing I did 't like: Anytime someone tries to disparage God's last day church and divide it, a yellow light goes off in my head. We are a family.
He has not cleared anythingup, u are just wanting to continue to sleep and keep sinning, wake up friend, he is acting on behalf of conference, not God
Wake up!!!!
Because David Gates works primarily in Spanish-speaking countries, the children out of respect refer to him as Uncle David. This has been going on for many years. He's been a missionary for many years and was raised in the mission field when he was a child. He is not trying to divide the church. He is doing what Eze. 3 says to do. Warn people and call out sin. Jesus is coming for a pure people - His church. The things going on in the SDA denomination are an abomination to God and his government. David and a number of others are the bright lights right now. We should be thanking God for them. We desperately need them now.
Don't worry Saints we only have 5 months to see if these predictions will come to pass. If they don't I hope Pr Gates and Pr Brenner will with the same Zeal work to correct this error. How ever I pray we all do not sin against God by Unchristian behavior towards those who are in error and become more guilty than they are. May God have mercy on His people. As for me and my house we will not set dates.
Pastor Gates did not say with certainty something will happen. He says expressly: let's say it doesn't happen. I do not see the big issue.
Within that 5 month GC will. Be here in Jamaica
Well said BFETile. However, I think we can denounce their falsehood using Christian behavior, as Mark Finley does here.
@@1844-Telltheworld exactly. He's buffering his claim. If nothing happens he can say, "Well, I only said maybe!" but if something does happen, which is extremely likely as things are happening all the time in these last days, then he can say "told you so." and lead still more sheep astray.
@@jacobvero9403 What did Mark Finley do? First, if someone does not see the climate change agenda is not the Sunday Law, it is plain blindness. Second, Mark Finley talked about when speaking about the word, it is not to be based on feelings. That is true in certain sense if what the person is saying cannot be sustained by the word of God. The SDA church began with insight ka sense of feeling). On October 23, 1844, when Edson Hiram was walking through the cornfield to visit the other brethren, it was insight tha came ove him that Daniel 8:14 was speaking of the heavenly sanctuary. By praying and studying the Bible, the pioneers arrived to the conclusion that the insight was accurate. By reading the Bible, the Spirit of Propbecy and analyzing the measures that are being taken to combat climate change, one can see to the naked eye, this will bring the Sunday Law. People can see that there is a day to stop doing works that revolves around climate change. It is Sunday. Third, Pst. Finley talked about he believed God was still working through the church. That is true, He still does. But what is or who is the church? The Sanhedrin is not the church. The church is the body of Christ who is walking according to His will. Jesus left the Sanhedrin and called His disciples to spread the Gospel. The Sanhedrin was too blind to see the sign of time. I am not calling the top leaders, the Sanhedrin,. I do believe some of them are sincere, faithful believers just like in ancient Israel, we could find Nicodemus, Nathaniel etc. But, they need to be careful they do not turn into the Sanhedrin of ancient Israel. Fourth, hevtalked about an issue with time. The prophecies were given so we could pay attention to events and realize the time in which we are living. In Matt. 24:32,33 Jesus said; "Now learn a parable of the fig tree: when his branch is yet tender and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh. So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors." Prophecies were given so we know the time. The events are prophecies' time telling us to get ready. That notion of time that Pst. Finley was talking about and using the Spirit of Prophesy as back up is taking out of context. Fifth, Pst. Finley in response, also talked about time is not in essence, the church needs to get ready, go forward with the third angels' message. The church has been sitting for so many years, living like the world, if the people don't realize what time it is, how they gonna give the thrird angels' message. It is those who live a transformed life that can proclain the message. Ephesians 5:27 Jesus is coming to get church not having spot, or wrinkle or any such thing. (Manuscript 122, 1901)-Those only who through faith in Christ obey all of God's commandments will reach the condition of sinlessness in which Adam lived before his transgression. They testify to the love of Christ by obeying all His precepts. Brethren, do you see the four walls with the members really ready to be bride of Christ? Sixth and last, pst Finley discussed the judgemennt of the living. I disagree the judgement of the (all) living will be during the time of the mark of the beast. The church will be judged first. Since we are the people to bring the message of Revalation 18, the judgment of the church has to be done before the latter rain. Spirit of Prophecy explained the rain is fallin in two stages. First there will be a sprinkle. That is to wake up the church and prepared her for the full strenght of the latter rain which is the loud cry. The selection of the 144,000 for the loud cry has to be done. Therefore, he can't say the judgement of all living will be during the mark of the beast. Ancient Israel probation was closed, yet they continued to offer their sacrifices and not knowing they were rejected because they were blind. What happened is written to serve as example.
I can't argue on the point of pst. Gates that the church has rejected the Spirit of Prophecy. I have not seen a video or document of the 2015 gathering. However, I saw and heard of several SDA local leaders rejecting the writings of Ellem White. I do not totally agree with wth the 3.5 years that pst. Gates discussed. However, I am delighted that he did not bring it forth as definitive. He did say, let say it doesn't occur.
Get ready brethren, Jesus is coming soon. The events say it all.
80% of the comments obviously aren't from SDA who bias with David gates or whoever evangelist they have followed.
I am from India,a community surrounded by Hindu and Muslim, i am searching true word and living word of God by flipping many gospels channel.Every Saturday I open to check this channel the day I found out Pastor mark sermon not knowing about his denominations.I always comes back knowing that something special holy power in him change me how i see the lives and how am i suppose to worship God since the past 1 year.He is the one who is anointed,his prayer through this satellite channel is powerful.I believe there is a strong power in His every bit of sermon.I had studied about the sacrifice he made for Jesus that many starts follows Jesus through him.
I have never heard that SDA are working with pope or worship Ellen G white.Evrry preacher of SDA does mentioned Ellen G white but always sealed with Bible.They never worship Ellen G white.They use Ellen as a guide to understand the Bible.Then,i find out none of what Ellen wrote is wrong and apposite to the Bible at all.In fact it's relatable to our present world.
This videos is important to clarify the videos of David gates.In his sermon,A year ago David mentioned SDA meet with pope and accused SDA and Catholics serving women who are Ellen g white and Mary. Catholics do worship Mary.But not SDA
worship Ellen.
SDA meeting with Pope is not a different thing as Me having a Hindu or a Muslim friends.Me having a friendship with a person who believe in Hindus and Islam doesn't make ME Non- christian.
In fact Christian should be kind and friendly inorder to spread the word of God.
It's okay to have meal with them,shopping with them,playing games with them.we can meet,we can be friends.
Lastly Adventist believed in Sabbath and they learned Saturday according to biblical calender.
Pope made Sabbath as Sunday.
Sunday law will come sooner or later.Most of all,Every person died yesterday today tommrww cannot make it right the mistakes they did in life over again, so probation for them closed immediately.But Judgement is yet to come.
So we must prepare thinking our breath can stop anytime.
God bless you Pastor mark.
Amen
And you are right about all the points you make of our faith, but dont look solely on men. They sometimes fail. Look to God and read his word and yes you will find that our adventist faith is true. However, when you live in the United States you are able to see the abominations that take place and the changes made. That is why brethren here in the comments speak the way they do. There is infiltration in our church and it is real, there is bashing of one another because satan causes it. I will not say anything of Pastor finley's life and faith, other than I believe this attacking on David Gates is wrong. Lots of other pastors preach things that would be against what they believe is right, yet I dont see them making videos of them. This is a direct attack on David Gates, many against one.
It's so lovely to see this understanding and observation of yours. every quote of e.g white usually will be brought up with bible verse reference. Because Just like SDA motto.. it should be based on what "it is written"

Pray and read your Bible, there are some BITTER folks out here. If you stay ready, you don't have to get ready. God bless us all to be ready when he comes, time charts, dates, or not!
“Many Adventists have felt that unless they could fix their faith upon a definite time for the Lord’s coming, they could not be zealous and diligent in the work of preparation. But as their hopes are again and again excited, only to be destroyed, *their faith receives such a shock that it becomes well-nigh impossible for them to be impressed by the great truths of prophecy* .” {GC 456.2}

Pastor Mark can you talk about these unclean deals that are taking place in the church today. Pagan worship entering into the church, embracing Catholicism in the church even up to Sunday worship, disco music so much more pastor don't lost the kingdom for little comfort here. Why are you leaders want put the church at sleep with your comfortable messages.
You promoted The Great Hope. Ted Wilson and a GC team took the millions donated for the distribution of The Great Controversy in 2012 and altered tit so much, deleting over 500 pp., made it acceptable to the pope, then said it was the same as the first book and then handed it out. I listened to David Gates and I know him well enough to know that he would never do to the Great Controversy that has been done. I know you said you were not involved, but you promoted it. David Gates is a godly man and the Lord does help him with all he does. You and Ted Wilson are not I’m the clear about the Great Hope. I am done listening to either of you.
Finally.....a voice of reason. I fully agree with you. The church has been infiltrated long ago and are in apostasy.

The longer I am listening to you Mr Finley the more painful it becomes. You are just completely confused about David Gates video. I don't think you have even watched the video.
Pastor Finley, I want to encourage you to actually watch the sermons by pastor Arthur Branner that pastor Gates recommended. The study he does on this topic is very thorough where as pastor Gates just touched on some things and did not give all the Spirit of Prophecy and Bible like Branner did. I would encourage you to watch them twice and take notes on the statements with provided S.O.P and Bible. What he provides backs it up completely so there is definitely something to this that we need to take a better look at. There are 3 sermons that I know of and pastor Gates provides the link. Please do your part by watching the original message with it's thorough delineation before writing off the message altogether. You really can't go by what pastor Gates goes over in his video, that wasn't the whole message with all the supporting evidence. It was really well done by pastor Branner. God bless you and I pray we are all ready for our precious Saviour's soon return.
While Pr. Branner's points that there is a future 3 1/2 year period shown clearly in Revelation and Daniel, his points about probation closing for God's people in a year is fanatical time-setting that we have been warned against.
"Time after time will be set by different ones, and will pass by; and the influence of
this time setting will tend to destroy the faith of God's people." IT, p. 72
Sorry Pr Finley. I love you, but in this time, you is not right !

See what the Devil is doing, We are turning on each other instead of focusing on the work the Lord has called us to do. We should work together (THAT DOESN'T MEAN COMPROMISE). God has used and will use his people to shake up the churches if we are sleeping. Things are happening in the church which the devil is causing. I beseach us brothers and sister, Look not at the Leaders but instead to Jesus, that his Character be manifested in us. In the Ark of Noah there was only one window and it was placed in a on top and not the side. Continue to look up and not around. God Bless
This is very clear and on point. Thanks Pastor Finley!!!
The climate change policy is the national Sunday Law, what will you do when this comes? I will stick with Jesus by far!
"Our position has been one of waiting and watching, with no time-proclamation to intervene between the close of the prophetic periods in 1844 and the time of our Lord's coming."--10MR 270 (1888). {LDE 36.1}
Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
David Gates didn't say the NSL was in the "Paris Agreement". He didn't mention that, even once. He said the NSL was in the "Popes Encyclical". Something seemed "not right" about this. Seemed deceptive, like the "Great Hope".
Well then you better give up your home, empty your bank account like all those who have believed in Pastor David Gates previous doom-and-gloom false prophecies. Like in 2008 when he said Jesus would come back in 2008. Or in 2010 when he said a huge catastrophe would happen on 9/11 of 2010. Pastor David Gates has been a false prophet in the Seventh-day Adventist Church for several years and it is why Pastor Ted Wilson wants him banned from the Seventh Day Adventist Church. Be careful who you listen to in these last days when many false prophets will arise especially in the Seventh Day Adventist Church. Stay awake and do your homework on these prophecy tellers. Stay blessed! !
I think Finley just wanted to put it there so that we can think that we don't think the Paris agreement is linked to the National Sunday law. That just confirms that it is
@@LSV.Delight Your contrary nature will not make it to heaven.
earlysda the Paris agreement is in Link with the Sunday law. David Gates never mention that. Finley just put it out there so that we can think that is not. Finley is a Jesuit. He speaks as one. I'm not sure why you see me contrary. A true follower of Christ is someone who is surrendered to him. I am not sure where you got the impression that I am contrary in nature.
earlysda I was actually agreeing that David Gates never mentioned the Paris agreement. That Finley put it out there so that we believe that it has nothing to do with a National Sunday law. For you to tell me that I will not make it to heaven based on the fact that I noticed reveals your ignorance. Here is some wisdom for you to contemplate do you do not lack of it.

6 But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)
I think that David Gates point was more that the church should get ready rather then his predictions of prophecy. He David gates admits as much. Why is everyone jumping up and down if someone says that we should get ready whenever God does return....

He also was not intending to take the 42 months prophecy out of where it was. He just was mentioning the many times 3 and a half years are mentioned in the bible. They, Mark Finley and Doug Bachelor are so close minded and don't even talk about what's going on in the background. They are blind to see that Brother David is just trying to help us to dig and search and not be lukewarm..We have to be awake and pray for the holy spirit to show us and teach us what we need to do. Pray always everyday for grace and knowledge. We must also ask for wisdom. God bless you all.
The problem is that David Gates has quite a following and people are sharing his predictions and prophetic interpretations far and wide. Someone shared it in my SS class two weeks ago. Why promote questionable interpretations to get people ready for the second coming? Let’s stick with what is true and quit time setting.
I personally was let down by Elder Finley's stand in response to the watered down new great controversy a.k.a "great hoax". He failed to stand and condemn it."If God abhors one sin above another, of which His people are guilty, it is doing nothing in case of an emergency. Indifference and neutrality in a religious crisis is regarded of God as a grievous crime and equal to the very worst type of hostility against God."3T 280.3
Amen.
