FAF Conference • February 12-14, 2021
The Former Adventist Fellowship (FAF) Conference is held annually in Southern California. In 2021 the conference is online only due to the pandemic. Hope to see you next year in person!
As an Adventist born 79yrs now Joshua said in the Bible as for me and my house We Will Serve The Lord God Bless
An Adventist born theres nothing more to ĥide read the Bible and understand it God bless
Anyone who prophesies in the name of GOD and it does not come to pass, you're a false prophet. I agree with this brother.
Like what?
@@williamstroud1455 You'll be waiting a long time to get proof of what these commenters make. Its not about truth, Its about Revelation 12:17.
OH! l love Phil Johnson! :)
Her tombstone is freemasonic. What more do you really need to know?
I'd like to know...how long were you unconscious when you hit your head? Just start with the most recent one.
It doesn't mean anything to have a freemason tombstone
What makes it freemason?
My SDA friends have told me that I have to keep the Sabbath day! But I asked them: What about the New Moons? Do you also keep the New Moons? Do you keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Feast of Weeks, the Feast of Harvest, the Feast of Ingathering, and the Feast of Tabernacles? Those were also commanded by God, but you don't keep them. Why? Because EGW did not tell you to.
@@lisachambers3683 There are 613 commandments given by God, not 10. The first 10 were written in stone as a sign of the covenant between God and Israel. If you break one, you have broken them all.
@@lisachambers3683 - I pray that you will come into the knowledge of the truth, as the truth will set you free. I have one question for you: Are you trying to show God that you are righteous?
Uh, emphysema, there are no commandments telling us to keep those festivals. There is a commandment, the 4th commandment, that tells us, and you to "Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy.".
Also interesting is that the calendar used by the church to figure out what day is the Sabbath is the same calendar created by the Catholic Church and adopted by the Jews. Doing Biblical research on dates in the Bible as well as Leviticus 23, is eye opening. But yeah, EGW trumps the Bible 😢 Twice the church looked into the calendar issue 1939 and 1995 both times the findings disappointed the leaders and got shut down and ignored and covered up. Interesting topics that the church would rather ignore and use the “prophet” to answer questions rather than the Bible.
@@debbiekaebirge-coitan1372 - The Jews, during Jesus's lifetime, kept a lunar calendar. The full moon marked the 1st day of the new month. Count every 7 days and you have the Sabbath day, not Saturday. Saturday was a Roman day in honor of their pagan god Saturn (Saturn-day).
To those in adventism, the spirit of prophecy was something that John and his brothers in Christ had in their day, not something that was to come and given to one person. See Revelation 19.
Great vid! EGW is all what you have said, and more. I've read some of her writings and my mind is blown on how she has corrupted the Word of God and changed the Gospel of Jesus Christ. You have said it all. I have a 2011 copy of The Great Controversy but I have never been SDA. I started reading her writings in order to understand why my understanding of the Bible and that of my SDA friend differed so much.
In what way did she corrupt it
@camillaa
Can you tell me which part of the bible she corrupted please
Fun fact...no Ellen white....no sda church.
They lose their prophetic authority and the identifying mark as manifested to the adventist church!
Lets pray that happens sooner than later.
Amen.
An SDA church that formally renounced Ellen White as a fraud could not be a church that was meaningfully SDA in any way. They have no idea of who they are or what they believe apart from their false prophet.
@@cbtam4333Need to lose that pesky little Investigative Judgment thing, Too.
Fun fact.
No EGW...the Christian word is confusing with so many denomination....

Preach the truth and win souls for God's kingdom.why attacking SDAS?
Adventism is a ‘World Religion’ based on works salvation, not unlike Islam or the LDS church…essentially a transactional institution wherein if you ‘do’ this, then you ‘get’ this…it is a ‘different gospel’ than Christianity…one of the things that bothers me most about these cults is their borrowing of our vocabulary…

Excellent information. Thanks
A lot if comments here from SDA members, I have to ask, has any of her prophecies true, even one
To. John Accord
Egw prophecy is already mentioned in the bible....
Here's one for starters. How's this? "On one occasion, when in New York City, I was in the night season called upon to behold buildings rising story after story toward heaven. These buildings were warranted to be fireproof, and they were erected to glorify the owners and builders. Higher and still higher these buildings rose, and in them the most costly material was used. . . .
The scene that next passed before me was an alarm of fire. Men looked at the lofty and supposedly fire-proof buildings and said: "They are perfectly safe." But these buildings were consumed as if made of pitch. The fire engines could do nothing to stay the destruction. The firemen were unable to operate the engines.-Testimonies for the Church, vol. 9, pp. 12, 13.
Does 9/11 ring a bell?
Here's another. Nuclear weapon perhaps? "Not long ago a very impressive scene passed before me. I saw an immense ball of fire falling among some beautiful mansions, causing their instant destruction. I heard some one say, "We knew that the judgments of God were coming upon the earth, but we did not know that they would come so soon." Others said, "You knew? Why then did you not tell us. We did not know." On every side I heard such words spoken.-Review and Herald, Nov. 24, 1904.
World wars 1 & 2?
I was shown the inhabitants of the earth in the utmost confusion. There was war, bloodshed, want, privation, famine and pestilence, in the land; and as these things were without, God's people began to press together, and cast aside their little difficulties. Self-dignity no longer controlled them. Deep humility took its place. Suffering, perplexity and privation, caused reason to resume its throne, and the passionate and unreasonable man became sane, and acted with discretion and wisdom.
My attention was then called from the scene. There seemed to be a little time of peace. Then the inhabitants of the earth were again presented before me, and everything was in the utmost confusion again. Strife, war and bloodshed, with famine and pestilence, raged everywhere. Other nations were engaged in this confusion and war. War caused famine. Want and bloodshed caused pestilence. And then men's hearts will fail them for fear, "and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth."
(Testimonies for the Church, vol. 1, p. 268)
There are some that are awaiting fulfilment. We need to decide if we are on Gods side or not. How will you choose? Not according to the writings of Ellen White but on the Truths found in the Bible. Truths that are pointed to by Mrs. White in her writings.
SDA's do not teach soul sleep, they teach conditionalism. In SDAism there is no such thing as the soul. They teach that you are a soul, you do not have one. when you die you go back to the dust, the breath goes back to heaven and you do not exist. that is based on Gen 2:7
When i realized that the SDA church used Ellen White getting a smallpox vaccine, in order to promote the Covid vaccine... it all made so much sense. 😮
SOME did decipher it that way - but most did not. Being deceived by government is a lot different than being spiritually deceived. Not all will be saved in the Adventist movement, but taking a vaccine, no matter how bad it is, is not something God will use to judge them - Judgement must first begin at the house of God.
Wow. They were promoting the jab. Shocked!!
Can you show me that verse from her writings please
@remnantime3672 I don't think it is in her writings. But the argument that I heard, was that EGW herself got the smallpox vaccine. So therefore vaccines in general are fine.
@@CAmom75 .
Remours don't count.. sorry
The great disappointment should be called the great embarrassment.
Or the great deception!
Criticize all you want, but you’ve made no contributions to anything in Revelation or Daniel like Ellen G White and Wiiliam Miller. They both made great strides toward preparing God’s end time people to share the sanctuary message and 3angels message. The great disappointment Is found in Revelation 10 and specifically versus 11 to the end. It talks about something being sweet as honey in the stomach, and then becoming bitter. God knew about the great disappointment. It’s right there in Revelation 10.
EG white has contributed more than what you’re contributing. Any dodo can look back in history and laugh at the mistakes and criticize the mistakes that people and pioneers made before them but what’s your contribution? Absolutely nothing.
Jesus warned😊 of false teachers and there are many today. I would rather study the words of Jesus to love the Lord your God with all your heart and soul and your neighbor as yourself.
If you read the books of EG White, she constantly speaks of Jesus she uplifts Jesus, she testifies about Jesus she proclaims Jesus it’s all about Jesus and a relationship with Jesus. Also, David in the psalms talks about how he loves the law of God. Are you going to start throwing stones at him? God is not against the law if the law was worthless then he could’ve pretty much pardoned Adam and Eve, and they would still be in the garden but instead he had to die for them and us .
You claim you don’t care about the law but the moment someone breaks into your house you’re going to call the authorities to arrest the person because you don’t want them to steal or kill or lie!
@@medinarad "You claim you don’t care about the law but the moment someone breaks into your house you’re going to call the authorities to arrest the person because you don’t want them to steal or kill or lie!" "You claim"...I see none of that claim in Gloria's comment? Who is this 'you', you are talking about?
Despite of all that...
The Devil changed the HOLY 7 day ...to SUN-DAY THE DAY OF THE ...SUN...
REVELATION 14:12
This calls for patient endurance on the part of the people of God who keep his commands and remain faithful to Jesus.
So then what about other groups like Seventh Day Baptist?
Are they also the so called true church?
It's painfully obvious, the poor woman, was most likely suffering from a neurological disorder such as epilepsy or traumatic brain injury.
You have obviously not read any of her books.
at best. the drive towards false prophesy makes her a false preacher. the act was to fill churches and make money like so many churches in early 19th century in America at that time.
Phil is worng on one thing. SDA does not teach a thousand year rule on earth. The millennium according to them is spent in heaven.
You said from the very earliest days of the church they worshipped on the first day of the week. What did it mean when it said that Jesus taught in the synagogue on the Sabbath, as his custom was? Luke 4:16, " and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom. He stood up to read," What does it mean when it said Paul went into the synagogue and taught? Acts 17:2 (Well after Jesus was dead) "...and on the Sabbath day he (Paul) went into the synagogue, as was his custom." No, they did not keep Sunday from the earliest days of the church. Even after Jesus was dead, Paul and others were still keeping the Sabbath, as their custom was.
I grew up as an SDA. I attend baptist and communty church as well. I have come to believe that we are all like the blind men explaining what an elephant looks like (each giving details on the part of the elephant they are holding) We will all be in for a surprise when Yeshua returns and fills us in on what really is truth. Lol.
Why does the 4th commandment begin with the word “Remember”? Exodus 20:11, the last sentence of the commandment says “For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.”, so we are to “remember” it because we are celebrating creation, God’s creation. Do we still need to celebrate creation? Of course. When did God create the Sabbath, before or after sin? Before sin…it is part of His perfect plan. When was the resurrection and is it important? It was Sunday and it was important. When was the crucifixion and was it important? It was Friday and it was important. Is there instruction anywhere in the Bible to worship on Friday or Sunday? Nowhere. God had it right from the beginning. God’s holy day is the 7th day Sabbath. Had He changed the day He certainly would have had it written in the Bible. He would not leave it to our imaginations. He would make it very clear to us.
He at the end of His work, after resting on the Sabbath, the special day created for man, he, along with marriage between a man and a woman established the Sabbath. Since Eden the weekly cycle has continued uninterrupted for the last 6,000 years. That cycle goes - day 1, day 2, day 3, day 4, day 5, day 6, Sabbath then repeats. It has continued that way since creation. It is summarized in Genesis chapter 2. The same wording is used in a couple of other places in the Bible. Exodus chapter 20 where we are told why humanity is to worship specifically on the 7th day Sabbath, that being to give honor and worship to the Creator. We are told to “remember” the Sabbath specifically in honor of the Creator and to not forget to take rest from work and worship Him who created. Worship the Creator spoken of in Genesis 2. Another place similar wording is used is in Revelation 14 verses 6 & 7. Again it gives us a description of the creation from the beginning and it tells us to Worship Him who created. That’s what Sabbath is all about, worship. Who will you worship? God or the creation? When will you worship? On God’s Holy 7th day Sabbath, a day chosen by God for worship, the day He blessed and sanctified in Eden, or a day that was created by God as an ordinary day to do all your work? If you search the scriptures diligently you will see this connection between these passages I mentioned and the perpetuity of the 7th day Sabbath created by God in Eden. This is not so much for you c4s but for others who may actually be searching for truth and come across this comment. Why are you so concerned what the Bible teaches anyway? Catholics don’t follow the Bible but tradition. You believe catholic tradition trumps the plain “Thus Sayeth the Lord” found clearly written, if you ask the Holy Spirit to guide you and take the time to look for it, in God’s Holy Word, don’t you? Blessings to everyone as you study God’s Word.
The Jews, during Jesus's lifetime, kept a lunar calendar. The full moon marked the 1st day of the new month. Count every 7 days and you have the Sabbath day, not Saturday. Saturday was a Roman day in honor of their pagan god Saturn (Saturn-day).
@@epsyuma Astronomy is interesting, not too much but what we are concerned with is...What is Biblical. And what is Biblical is the 7 day cycle which was established in Eden, by God. In the Bible there is only one day given a name. Sabbath. The other days were referred to by numbers, except the 6th day is referred to once as "the preparation day". A day the people prepared for Sabbath. Thanks for the lesson in astronomy though emphysema.
@@williamstroud1455 - Yes, well, just keep telling yourself how perfect you are.

@@epsyuma Saturn -day starts at midnight...the Sabbath begins at sunset Friday.
I was searching for a video regarding sda. There are many videos out there but this is the only one i found addressing these. Thanks. God bless.
I have not heard one SDA preach what you claim. This reminds me of todays "factcheckers" which make up their own narrative, and then factcheck their narrative, which usualy dirrers substantialy from what they "fact"check. This rant is definately not from God. This spirit does nothing but trying to break down, and the narratives are made up as you go along.
PS! I am not SDA myself, but I enjoy many of their pastors. I have not seen nor heard anything remotely as biblicaly faithful and documented by scripture itself, as the SDA preachers deliver.
Listening to this person makes me want to puke. He has a very relaxed attitude to truth and documentations. Just smears upon smears.
Born and raised an SDA. Attended SDA schools from 2nd grade through college...hold a degree in Religion from Walla Walla University. I can assure you that 90% of the history this gentleman is stating is true. The SDA church leadership has continued to evolve and attempted to down play the embarrassment of the early church doctrine. The lifestyle rules were not that different from other ultra conservative churches that grew out of the 1840s.
My view is that the Sabbath practice according to the Mosaic regime and covenant is no longer valid for the gentiles today in the new covenant. However the practice is noble and has great value for an individual creature to fully communicate and worship the creator, holy powerful yet loving and intimate being.
The only issue now which SDA is prompting to a cult status is not the day, but "how" or defining the regime Sabbath is kept.
Let me say this, apart from SDA
there are Christian churches denominations keeping the Sabbath. The difference is that we are keeping the Sabbath with no "duress" since we are not under the laws of Moses but under regime of Yeshua Messiah based entirely on love. If you love or know who God or Yeshua is then an individual should set aside the Sabbath rest and in your home all Day in prayer rest and worship as individual or within the family. Problems come s when we institutionalise this day in a reglious organization then we fall into a snare we set for ourselves..ie obligated all members to attend Sabbath services, even roll calls are taken and absent members are castigated and labelled as backsliders. Sounds like the mosaic regime.
Can someone explain to me what SDA was before Ellen immerged?
She and her husband created the cult.
Were no Biblical Figures more Godly than EGW? If so, how could EGW have been of any reputable comparison? Her "literature" scared the ever loving chit out out of me. Thr Bible did not, except when an SDA read or commented upon it.... Very, most very, strange
'coincidence"
Not right to form a denomination around a person. So glad to be non-denominational
Ellen White was waaay ahead of her time. Never before did we know that there are people who inhabit Jupiter! They’re “tall and majestic beings”. Wow! We need to send more space probes, fast!

Ezekiel 18:20-22
20 The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.
21 But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die.
22 All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live.
@@mariobethell3731 your reply is completely non sequitur. What did that have to do with the current conversation/subject?
Am grateful to be a seventh day adventist for 48 years and trust the Bible, the word of God. Keep the Sabbath holy and return the tithes. It's better to obey God than men. Blessings to you and
The spirit of prophecy was something that John and his brothers had in their day, it was not something to eventually come and be given to one person.
Please see Revelation 19.
@@reidveryan9414 Atually, it says the Testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of Prophecy, now what is a testimony? It is defined as the example of his life, did Christ adhere to Isaiah 8:20? Absolutely yes!! Therefore so did any of the prophets in the Bible. In the last 1800 years not one person in history that was either considered a prophet or was to their own bragging a self-proclaimed prophet ever fulfilled Isaiah 8:20 in the same manner E.G.W. did because none of them kept the Sabbath along with the other 9 commandments or pointed to the Bible as the standard by which to live. She met both the requirements of Isaiah 8:20.
The Apostle Paul tells us to not judge another on which day they hold above another.
Romans 14:5-6 (LSB): 5 One person judges one day above another, another judges every day alike. Each person must be fully convinced in his own mind.
6 He who regards the day, regards it for the Lord, and he who eats, eats for the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and he who does not eat, for the Lord he does not eat and gives thanks to God.
@@ShepherdMinistry Some conclude that these verses state that it does not make a difference to God which days we keep. They take these verses out of context and apply their own meaning. In order to grasp the true intent, we must read starting where the context of the subject begins-not just these two verses. Verses 1-4 identify the subject in context as vegetarianism-not which days should be kept.
Notice: “One man esteems one day above another: another esteems every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. He that regards the day, regards it unto the Lord; and he that regards not the day, to the Lord he does not regard it. He that eats, eats to the Lord, for he gives God thanks; and he that eats not, to the Lord he eats not, and gives God thanks” (Rom. 14:5-6).
Does Paul state here that Jesus, by His death, did away with the very days He kept during His whole life? No! Does he say, “God esteems one day above another” and “God esteems every day alike?” Again, no! The verse says, “One man esteems one day above another.” This is telling us that it was what men were teaching, not what God says.
Christ is not going to judge us by what any man believes. He will judge us by His Word, the Bible. “…the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day” (John 12:48).
Paul is not condemning a particular period of time, but he is warning the saints not to judge one another and cause strife for having differing opinions about things. Those in Rome were weak in the faith. They had not yet matured spiritually. Paul says, “For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end that you may be established” (Rom. 1:11).
This in no way is giving a license to believe whatever you want. God commands, “…and lean not unto your own understanding” (Prov. 3:5). Until you know what God says in His word, how are you going to be fully assured in your own mind? Paul stated, “the holy scriptures…are able to make you wise unto salvation” (II Tim. 3:15).
Paul is writing to both Jewish and Gentile converts in Rome. He advised them to accept those who were weak in the faith (Rom. 14:1), and to not dispute with them over insignificant matters, nor sit in judgment of them. Some of these newly converted Gentiles, being weak in the faith, were vegetarians and refused to eat meat.
While newspapers, magazines and other news media report what happened, The Real Truth analyzes and explains the root cause of why events happen-why humanity is at a loss to solve today’s problems. Subscribe
The reason they did not eat meat is explained in I Corinthians 8. Most meat available for purchase at the market had been previously offered to idols at pagan temples. Therefore, some, with conscience of the idol, ate it “as a thing offered unto an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled. But meat commends us not to God: for neither, if we eat, are we the better; neither, if we eat not, are we the worse” (vs. 7-8). Some of the converts at Rome, who had given up idolatry, were Gentiles. Still being superstitious, they thought the idol was something real.
What were these days Paul was referring to? Why did Paul break into this thought-about eating meat-and mention “days?” The answer is found in the Moffatt translation: “Then again, this man rates one day above another, while that man rates all days alike. Well, everyone must be convinced in his own mind; the man who values a particular day does so to the Lord. The eater eats to the Lord, since he thanks God for his food; the non-eater abstains to the Lord, and he too thanks God” (Rom. 14:5-6).
Notice! Not only were there weak converts who avoided eating meat offered to idols, but there were others who customarily abstained from particular foods. They semi-fasted on certain particular days. Still others refused to practice a semi-fast or abstain from foods, but regarded every day in the same way!
A number of Jews of that time would often hold a semi-fast twice in the week (Luke 18:12). Some would also fast during the fifth and seventh months (Zech. 7:4-7). They were divided as to exactly when to fast. The Gentile converts were also divided as to what days to abstain from certain foods. Because of the differing backgrounds of these people, they could not agree on which days to do this. There were divisions in the congregation. Jesus taught us that fasting is something that is done without making it obvious to others (Matt. 6:16). It is a personal matter, between an individual and God.
The subject of this question surrounded the matter of abstinence on particular days-upon which days many voluntarily abstained from certain foods. It did not involve whether or not to keep pagan holidays or God’s Holy Days.
@@reidveryan9414 Paul says that God's remnant church would have all the gifts of the Spirit, when you look those gifts up, the last one is the gift of the Spirit of Prophecy.
So I hate to tell ya, but yeah, the remnant church would have this.

Looking at her "reformed dress" she was about as good with fashion design as she was with prophesying.
The "Prophet" Muhammad had similar "seizures" during his encounters with Gabriel...
As did Blavatsky and Edgar Cayce.
Ms White taught something called Amalgamation...can Adventists please clarify what Amalgamation is?
It appears that those people have the ability to either physically or in lab mix the genes of different species. Like genetic manipulation. That’s the way I understand it!
There are a number of excellent youtube videos on this subject. Actually, she seemed to be referring to the intermarriage of races of men. It is quite shocking when you consider what she was really saying.
Yep look it up online or RUclips. Its disgusting. Its basically the same thing as groups like the KKK, NA***, or other racists groups spout. That all non white races are inferior.
She literally meant the union between man and beast
I am sure man and beast cannot produce an offspring.. is it that Ellen White was saying that a certain race ie. Blacks, were created from man and animal? She could never be a prophetess if she taught that..never
It is clear from reading many comments on your presentation ( which is wonderful btw) that there are many who choose to reject truth, thus a spirit of darkness has come over them, and they believe the lie. They believe every blatant lie and destructive heresy that this messenger sent from Satan ever spoke.
God bless you for at least trying to bring the light of truth to these ones.
People have opinions and have a right to disagree and I guess that makes them followers of the LIE this guy is just explaining something and people need to discern for themselves so that's the beauty of it don't call other people false teachers and liars and whatever you think you need to do just to appease your own justification hear carry on with your stuff in your way and what you do and maybe you'll save somebody along the way without calling names
Funny how clever the enemy uses a bit of TRUTH WITH ALOT OF LIES.
It is all cult and unbiblical
The SDA church is 100 % biblical, that’s why so many people have a problem with it.
@@MichaelMckamieHunger4truth isn’t the SDA handing out GC and not NKJV Bible why???
Mr Johnson: Is is very strange and disappointing that there is no option to save nor to have a transcript of this presentation available to its readers.
The time Will only tell when the truth himself descend in the clouds of heaven at the second coming. All will be righted.we don't have to waste our time attacking others.
Even if you hated someone's doctrine, why would you go so far as to analyse a potrait and say that she appeared as a typical 'cult' founder. I see malice and bias. We cannot judge one from a picture just as we cannot judge the heart.
Hated someone’s doctrine? It seems like he’s making claims based on researching the topic.
Do you have a counter for any statement he’s made about Ellen White?
Point of Important Clarification:
The Pope is not considered infallible in every word he utters. There are protocols, must be directed Ex Cathedra, from the Chair of Pope Peter, and relate to Great Matters of Faith and Morals. It never occurs ad hoc in a vacuum.
Please do your homework.
No, Catholicism like Adventist is an unbiblical cult
Phil Johnson, you are confused. @ 39:45 you state that SDA teach "that Satan bears the sins of all redeemed people" This is simply not true. They teach that Satan is the originator of All sin and untimately will bear All of his OWN sins. since he caused them all he will bear them all. Satan is not an atonement for the sins of humanity. All beings must atone for sin either they bear it themselves or someone else bears it for them. Since Satan has no one to bear his sins, He bears is Sins by himself. Do you believe Satan has a sin bearer. yes, So Christ died for Satan. That is what you believe. NO Then you agree with he must bear his own sins. You need to take this out. It is a Lie.
Great point, icedragon. If one believes that each individual bears his own sins, why is it such a leap to think the one who is responsible for all sin should not bear its punishment? But, I think that since each lost individual bears His own sin, and each Saved persons sin is in the sanctuary, by the blood of Christ, then at the end of time the final atonement, Satan bears His sin and the sins of the redeemed represented by the sins that are transferred to Azazel. If you think about it, this must be so because it isnt satans sins that are transferred. He already bears his own sins. SO, on that point, I think Phil is right.
You should read the EGW quotes about this scapegoat subject and Satan bearing the sins as quoted in this article: blog.lifeassuranceministries.org/2020/06/25/who-is-your-scapegoat/
@@ColleenTinker there are EGW quotes that add to this and make it problematic. But that is because of EGW., not because of the Idea. Ellen White is the Real problem in SDAism, She and James Hijacked the SDA church and are the problem in every doctrinal issue.. Get Rid of EGW and All the problems disappear.
@@ColleenTinker I have since come to a new understanding of the scapegoat. Based on the text. Both goats represent Christ. Both goats must be pure. Both goats represent work. The first to sacrifice, the second the removal of sins at the end of days. This is why the day of atonement hasn't been completed. And why it's part of the Fall festivals. It starts in the first century and ends at the return of the Lord.
Where can I hear yesterdays talk mentioned ?
A big HELL YEAH to you for putting up this video! A big HELL YEAH to my boy for making it! I hate Adventists! I grew up in the SDA religion. 8 years of SDA grade school and 4 years of SDA high school. Plus church stuff on weekends and even weekdays some times. I was third generation, with my Grandma as the main factor driving the mess. Everything in this video was and is truth. All SDA need to get out now.

What is your doctrine about the word of God. I would like to know what you believe.
What about letters, like the one from Australia, that came just when needed?
If Jesus entered the Most Holy in 1844,then why do Adventists protray him as wearing full priestly robes when the high priest on earth could only stand in God's presence if dressed in linen garments.Jesus was not a Levetical priest,not of the atomic bloodline.Even he could not have performed the earthly tabernacle duties if not of that bloodline.
And Jesus was not a Levitical Priest; He was a Priest in the Order of Melchizedek.
Now we're on parole

How many pour souls will listen to this and believe. How very sad that he is taking people down with him. Search the truth for yourselves and DO NOT rely on man 's interpretation. It'll get you burnt! Literally!!
I have searched the truth extensively, and he’s completely accurate.
You are correct... just dont forget that EGW was also a man, follow your own advise please
How many innocent souls are led astray by this false prophet, Ellen White. Very sad that people don't want to admit to the truth. It's hard to convince them they'd been fooled. I wonder how someone even a little brain will believe to what she'd said.
They now become Ex simply because they found adventistism to have errors in their theology

While I am not Roman Catholic, They are NOT guilty of a law keeping form of Salvation. This is a common accusation and is absolutely false.
They DO teach that salvation is cooperative between God and man. And they are well equipped to support that belief. But they are definitely not on any level like Adventism.
The SDA gospel is on par with that of the RCC gospel - both make your sanctification the basis for your justification.
@@jnel2879 You are sorely mistaken. Catholicism teaches one how to become one with God. Adventism lays down the law.
Catholic doctrine views the law as revelation of the eternal God, kind of like a portrait of him. But sees that vision as a partial view. And as a teacher which leads to a relationship with Christ. Catholicism is a familial relationship with the whole body of Christ.
Adventism is merely a judicial system.
Catholicism is about living and walking in grace. Eventually becoming like Enoch by divine Grace.
Adventism is about surviving on one's own without the intercession of Jesus.
Catholicism teaches love for the Triune God.
Adventism teaches legal obedience to a (unholy) "holy trio" very far removed from the God of Catholics.
Adventism is Pagan. Not Christian at all.
No, it was not an embarrassment. It was a logical mistake. We all have made a mistake at some time in our life. Just be ready to die at any time with a completely clear conscience. Okay? Amen. ❤️🌈🙏
That was not a logical mistake at all! The Bible tells us that no man knows the second coming!!! Okay!! Amen!!
No No No No - A Blatant Sin. Jesus specifically told his disciples that NO ONE, not even Jesus, knew the date of the Second Coming, Only The Father ~~~~

Most Excellent Summation!
What if you found out that the system that led you to know and love YASHUA/Jesus Christ had some wrong things in it? Would you hate that system? What if you read the Bible and could easily see that the 7th day of the week IS the Sabbath, instituted by God not for Israel but for Himself and all mankind and that believers will keep the Sabbath throughout all eternity (Isaiah 66)? Would you quit observing it? What if you could see that the seven day week is a prophesy of Gods seven thousand year plan and that the last 1000 years are a Sabbath where Jesus Christ reigns with a rod of iron, would you quit observing the weekly Sabbath then?
Then what if you had the maturity to keep from overreacting to Ellen Whites failures and calmly evaluate yourself and the Bible?
Father in Heaven, please help us to learn about You, to be drawn to You, and to walk in brotherly love and unity until You make us perfect. Amen.
failing in even one prophesy fails the test of a true prophet. Prophets dont make mistakes when prophesying. If they do thats a sure tell sign they are not real prophets and the bible says to cast them out...
I'm not advocating either for or against her, but that's not quite true. Jonah preached that Ninevah would be destroyed in 40 days. We all know that didn't happen. Does that make him a false prophet? There are other examples as well. I'm honestly asking...@@scalessnature987
I'm not any denomination, however, the Sabbath was never done away with, although it should never be pushed as a salvation issue. Trust in Christ and love Him to keep his Commandments is what the Sabbath is. Also, it was to cap the glorious creation of God with is biblical cosmology which has been perverted. We are to honor Him and His true creation on the Sabbath. The same force that perverted God's true creation, also perverted the rest day to be a Sunday. In the book of Acts, the apostles were still observing the Sabbath but met on the first day of the week.
EGW says, “The glory of the eternal world has been opened before me. I want to tell you that Heaven is worth winning. It should be the aim of your life to fit yourself for association with the redeemed, with holy angels, and with Jesus, the world’s Redeemer. If we could have but one view of the celestial city, we would never wish to dwell on earth again. There are beautiful landscapes on earth, and I enjoy all these prospects of loveliness in nature. I associate them with the Creator. But I know that if I love God, and keep His commandments, there is a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory reserved in Heaven for me. - {Mar 355.2}
Are you worthy Adventist?
Ellen says:
All who have truly repented of sin, and by faith claimed the blood of Christ as their atoning sacrifice, have had pardon entered against their names in the books of heaven; as they have become partakers of the righteousness of Christ, and their characters are found to be in harmony with the law of God, their sins will be blotted out, and they themselves will be accounted worthy of eternal life....
Eternal life is not just by faith alone grace alone, Its up to you to be shown to be worthy!
Ellen taught you need to be worthy of Grace.
Grace isnt a free gift.
Righteousness is by doing!
Paul describes Ellens righteousness here.
Rom 10:5
For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.
Just as Adventists claim the law is binding they are required to be obedient to the law or lose their salvation.
Who would call that the good news i dont know!

Have those infernal books been digitized yet?
@cindiloowhoo1166 of course they are, and no error found in them according to the sda conference
I think this is biased analysis of this quote. Wherein does she say, you are worthy of grace?
I see her saying the very opposite...that we cannot be "accounted worthy" (a phrase used by Christ Himself - Luke 20:35 ) not by our works but through repentance and faith in Christ's atoning blood. How is that different from Peter's Spirit-filled sermon on Pentecost:
Acts 2:38
Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Is repentance a requirement? Yes.
Is faith in Christ's atoning blood a requirement? Yes.
Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved THROUGH FAITH; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God.
Where is this work-based religion in this quote?

she then goes into details of failing to truely repent mate!
The Great Controversy, she wrote, “All who have ever taken upon themselves the name of Christ must pass its searching scrutiny… Sins that have not been repented of and forsaken will not be pardoned, and blotted out of the books of record, but will stand to witness against the sinner in the day of God… Words once spoken, deeds once done, can never be recalled. Angels have registered both the good and the evil. The mightiest conqueror upon the earth can not call back the record of even a single day.
Our acts, our words, even our most secret motives, all have their weight in deciding our destiny for weal or woe. Though they may be forgotten by us, they will bear their testimony to justify or to condemn.” (The Great Controversy, 1940 edition, page 552).

If the health advice is is so bad how come they live so long and many studies have been done on them even apppearing in Time magazine.

Are there “unbiased” studies that can demonstrate this?

Its not the health advice which is a problem - it is false gospel of the SDA that is a problem (PS The Catholic Church the SDA's hate so much is also correct on many things - doesn't make me a Catholic)

You don’t know anything about Ellen G White.
There are a lot of direct quotes here and a good understanding that people today do not have visions from God, nor are people today called to be prophets. With that said I'm curious what the SDA's response to this is since there is a lot of claims that Phil is wrong on so many things. I'm guessing its because there's a particular theological assumption being made that we do not agree on, such as visions. People like Ellen White who have claimed such things, render themselves not trustworthy with interpretation of scripture or a good source of teaching in general.
Funny Have you ever read any of her Books? try a small one like Steps To Christ
Well, in Desire Of Ages, EGW wrote some unbiblical information. She wrote that Jesus had older brothers. This can't be true if Mary was a virgin at the time of Jesus' birth.

@@hotwax9376 That’s a Catholic belief
No more canonized prophet or prophetess to prophesy news from LORD God The Almighty. It was closed until John of Revelation. Since John of Revelation until now is the fulfillment period. Like Saint Paul said in 1 Chor 13:8. Prophets and Prophetess only came from Israel line, other than that were false prophets and deceived prophecies.
How I wish the Adventist who following online don't argue for the sake of arguing, but they listen to this truth and accept it.
The way she explains away being wrong about the door to salvation being closed is typical of this kind of group - especially the Jehovah's Witnesses. She "did hold" that it was one way, but when that wasn't tenable, she says "it has now been revealed" as if it was new information that she wasn't privy to previously. The JWs call it "new light".
That has always left me with a question. EGW and the JWs always say that what they say is "the truth". Then, when corrections are made, it's still "the truth". How can both possibly be true?
@@maranathasam I appreciate you taking the time to comment, but must admit I'm not grasping what point it is you're trying to make.
I know now this guy is talking rubbish because I found the Sabbath before anything else. The Sabbath is so many times repeated in the Bible and so clear that if you say it come from Ellen White it's a surething this man doesn't believe the prophets. To the law and to the testimony if they do not speak according to these words, it's because there is no light in them.
@@Jasho-Beam Phil Johnson is not a former Adventist. He was raised in the Methodist church before becoming a Baptist.
The problem is: the sabbath is never a commandment that was given to the Gentile. Almost all the Bible was written from the Jews to the Jews. We Gentiles are God's son because we receive the gift of adoption through Christ.
If you say the Sabbath is eternal as the ten commandments, you're saying that because Ellen say so.
@@getuliofreitas809 no Isaiah the prophet prophesy it. You do not know your Bible.

You 7th day Adventists?…. Are you talkin to me? Are YOU talkin to ME? You’re not describing me. You are repeating your experience and living the disappointment. Poor chap
One of the easiest way to identify truth is to observe what the world is attacking. The world will never attack its own. Ellen White was a prophetess and one of the seventh day Adventist church founders. Seventh day adventists are bible based Christians not a cult. Read the bible for yourself then compare the bible against seventh day Adventist church doctrine. Adventist doctrine is based on the bible. The bible is the basis of their beliefs. Do your personal research. Not every preacher or speaker speaks truth. We need the Holy Spirit to teach us truth directly from the bible. We need to get back to studying the bible earnestly. May the Holy Spirit work on the hearts and minds of every truth seeker reading my comment.
Sounds like an epileptic fit.
Or, the sorts of trances that Blavatsky or Edgar Cayce went into.
Lots of EXCUSES in this comment section to NOT be obedient to Gods commandments
No excuses, Christian’s read, interpret and apply the scriptures differently than the false counterfeit Christian SDA denomination. They say they use the ‘Historical Grammatical Method‘ of interpretation but they don’t. Christianity by and large do. This means that what was given in the Old Testament has to be filtered through the finished work of Christ and the commands given in the New Testament. The primary three are to 1st BELIEVE (putting 100% of our faith and trust in Christ alone) 2nd is to love God and 3rd is to love our fellow man. Unless and until command one is accomplished (what the bible calls being born again) every other act of obedience (no matter how sincere) are as filthy rags.
@@jimliley8850 Actually, no they don't, the other denominations use what is called futurism of prophecy. They believe that all of Daniel and Revelation is future tense in interpretation, however, this belief didn't originate until the 1600s with a Jesuit Catholic Priest named Fransico Ribera. The Pope ordered Ribera, a Jesuit, to refute Martin Luther's teaching that the Catholic Church was the beast power of Daniel 7 and Revelation 13. Luther had been teaching that the Pope was anti-Christ, and the church was the beast power. Ribera took Daniel and Revelation and put a future twist on the prophetic message, he then trained his priest, and acolytes to go out and infiltrate this Protestant movement with this futurism teaching, now 400 years later the only church teaching the same thing Luther taught about the Papacy is the SDA Church.
Your take on Matthew 22:37-40 is flawed because verse 40 states " On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets." Verses 37 includes love for God, as a definition love for God would fulfill the first 4 commandments including the Sabbath, in verse 38 we see love for our fellow man which would fulfill the last 6 commandments this is why Jesus said on these 2 commands hang the WHOLE LAW and the PROPHETS! considering John the Revelator was the last of the prophets and he states 3 different times that Jesus is coming back for a people who keep the commandments of God, and the last one says " Those who KEEP the COMMANDMENTS of GOD that they might have a RIGHT TO THE TREE OF LIFE and enter in through the gates of the city " The 10 commandments are never called or referred to as the Jews and the Sabbath was kept even before Mt. Sinai and the giving of the Commandmets.
Moses was responsible for writing the Torah ( aka first 5 books ) In Genesis 26:5 he writes that Abraham was chosen because he kept the commandments, laws, and statutes of GOD! It should be plain enough for people to see that the Bible always refers to the commandments as GOD'S not ours or the Jews.
Paul and John both state where there is no law there is no sin, and sin is the transgression of the Law. Before Abraham even people knew right from wrong, living a godly life such as Enoch, Noah, or any of the Patriarchs that followed God loved him so their lives were in accordance with his commandments even before they were handed down at Mt. Sinai. If this is not the case then how did Lucifer choose to rebel if there were no laws or commandments to govern heaven? What about Cain? God told Cain if thou doest well, will thou not be accepted? But if thou doest not well, sin lies at the door. Cain's heart was filled with anger against God and his brother and he knew that what he was about to do was wrong. What about Joseph? When tempted by Potiphar's wife he stated " How can I do this great wickedness in the sight of God! Joseph knew adultery was wrong even before any express command was given to tell him it was wrong. The commandments were inherently known in the hearts of men.
The only thing that changed from the Old Covenant to the New is the location, they went from stone ( the letter of the law ) to the heart and mind of the believer ( the spirit of the law ) if a person is in the spirit of the law they will never break the letter of the law. This is why Enoch was considered ready for translation without seeing death.
@@TheFaithofJesus-bk4wlExcellent comment! Yes, sin is the transgression of the law.
You may be interested in watching the Melchizedek videos by Covenant Calendar Classroom.
A Covenant has 4 parts: proposal, acceptance, blood-ratification and a Covenant confirming meal. That meal verse is Exodus 24:11. Everything first mentioned from Gen 1:1 to Exo 24 11 is still to be observed, as it is part of the Covenant. It was under the Melchizedek Priesthood.
Then the golden calf sin happened. Many laws and statutes were imposed. They are not part of the Covenant. The priesthood changed to Levitical.The added laws were temporary until our Messiah came.
I thought the first half of the video was excellent for exposing Ellen White. But you and I agree that he was wrong saying the law is done away.
You may want to test Apostle Paul. He is in the canon as a test of how much we love our Heavenly Father. Will we follow our Messiah's narrow path of obedience, works and law, or Paul's Roman road of just believe. I have playlists.
Romans 14.
I find tracts of any type incredibly annoying and a criminal waste of trees,
I was raised Baptist. But I've studied most religions. In the Council of Laodicea 331 ad Constantine changed the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday. In 335 ad. The first Pope changed the solemnity of Saturday to Sunday. That my friend is history, in Catholic books. I study the bible. Shame on you for demeaning any religion.
Thank you for telling the truth.
Actually, Sunday worship began way before Constantine.
Worship on Sunday began at the very beginning of the church. Seven weeks after the resurrection, the church was empowered by the Holy Spirit on Pentecost which is on a Sunday (Acts chapter 2). (Note that Pentecost is also known as the "Feast of Weeks". In Leviticus 23:15-16 this feast is established to be the day after the seventh Sabbath from the Feast of First Fruits.) In Acts 20:7 it is mentioned that believers gathered on the first day of the week to observe the Lord's Supper (breaking bread as it was called) while in 1 Corinthians 16:2 Paul mentions meeting on the first day of the week. Also, John mentions being in the Spirit on the Lord's Day (Revelation 1:10).
Writings of the early church indicate that Sunday was the day of worship. The Didache states "But every Lord's Day gather yourselves together and break bread, and give thanksgiving after having confessed your transgressions." This was written around AD 70-100. Ignatius of Antioch stated that the Sabbath was no longer observed but that the church met on the Lord's Day (Letter to the Magnesians 9--ca AD 110). In the First Apology 67 (ca AD 155), Justin Martyr states that Sunday is the day of worship.
Based on this, I conclude that the church was worshipping on Sunday well before Constantine. What Constantine did was to codify the practice.
False religions should be called out as Paul did this. Moreover, Paul does rebuke legalism--see Galatians 4:9-11 for an example.
@@johngreene8332 Amen
@@johngreene8332 May I correct you on a few points.
1. Pentecost is one of the feast days in the Mosaic law which pointed to Jesus. It is one of the ceremonial laws which were nailed to the cross. It's one of the sabbaths Paul was speaking about when he said,
Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: Colossians 2:16
Those ceremonial sabbaths could fall on any day of the week and when they fell on the seventh day, which was and still is the Sabbath of the Lord, they were called "high days". When Jesus was crucified, that sabbath was the passover sabbath as well so it was a high day (see John 19:31). The ceremonial sabbath never superseded the seventh-day Sabbath.
Today Pentecost is a moveable feast, because it's observed on the seventh Sunday after Easter. But Easter, being a pagan festival that's dependent on the movement of the moon, occurs at different times from one year to the next, whereas Jesus only died and resurrected once.
2. however carefully you read through Acts 2 you will not find Sunday. Neither will you find the first day of the week mentioned in relation to Pentecost. That's because it's not the day that's important in this Festival (as with all the religious festivals) but the time. Pentecost was to be celebrated seven weeks after the first fruits. Seven weeks after Jesus was resurrected and took a number of resurrected saints with Him to heaven as first fruits of the redeemed, the baptism of the Holy Spirit took place, at Pentecost. In the same way Jesus fulfilled every one of those ceremonial feasts by His life, death and resurrection, thereby making them no longer necessary.
3. Acts 20:7 makes no mention of believers observing the Lord's supper. It says:
And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.
They came together to BREAK BREAD. This was not a special occasion because verse 46 tells us:
And they, continuing DAILY with one accord in the temple, and BREAKING BREAD FROM HOUSE TO HOUSE, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,
They DAILY and FROM HOUSE TO HOUSE broke bread. Were they observing the Lord's supper every day in each other's houses?
Paul preached to them "upon the first day of the week". Remember that Biblically, the day starts at sunset, not at sunrise. In Genesis 1 we read
And the evening and the morning were the first day.
And the evening and the morning were the second day. etc.
Paul was likely continuing a sabbath preaching into the new day, until midnight, because he was about to leave the next day. But even if he was preaching all day Sunday, it doesn't change the Sabbath to Sunday. Preaching doesn't sanctify a day. It doesn't make the first day holy.
4. 1 Corinthians 16:2
2 Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come.
Yes Paul mentions the first day of the week. Since when does the mere mention of a day confer holiness upon it?
Besides if this was now Sabbath, he would be telling them to break it, because he was telling them to work, collecting and storing provisions for him.
He explains why he wanted them to do this. He didn't want to be delayed, having to wait while they collected the gifts they were sending to the brethren in need. And he chose the first day of the week because it was an ordinary day after the Sabbath. It had nothing do with worship..
5. Yes, John was in the spirit on the Lord's day. But which is the Lord's day? Surely it must be the day the Lord claims as His
Isaiah 58:13
13 If thou turn away thy foot from THE SABBATH, from doing thy pleasure on MY HOLY DAY; and call the sabbath a delight, THE HOLY OF THE LORD, HONOURABLE; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words:;
Exodus 20:10
10 But THE SEVENTH DAY is the sabbath of the Lord thy God:
Exodus 31:13
13 Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily MY SABBATHS ye shall keep:
Leviticus 23:3
3 Six days shall work be done: but THE SEVENTH DAY IS THE SABBATH OF rest, an holy convocation; ye shall do no work therein: IT IS THE SABBATH OF THE LORD in all your dwellings.
Ezekiel 20:12
12 Moreover also I gave them MY SABBATHS, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am the Lord that sanctify them.
Mark 2:28
King James Version
28 Therefore THE SON OF MAN IS LORD ALSO OF THE SABBATH.
The Bible is full of instances of God claiming the Sabbath as His holy day. See how many times in He does so in Ezekiel 20 alone. And how many times does He say that the first day is His day? None.
the fact is, John was in the spirit on Sabbath, and there's not a scrap of evidence to the contrary.
6. You quote a lot of men, all belonging to the institution which has tried to change the law of God. How about quoting God for a change. Remember what Jesus says
Matthew 15:9
9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
@@chukku3871 I am not saying that the Feast of Weeks is to be celebrated today. My point is that it is one of two feasts that are always start on Sunday as originally outlined in Leviticus 23:15-16.And you shall count for yourselves from the day after the Sabbath, from the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering: seven Sabbaths shall be completed. Count fifty days to the day after the seventh Sabbath; then you shall offer a new grain offering to the Lord." Unlike other feast in which a specific date is given like the 14th of Nissan for the Passover, it states the day after the seventh Sabbath and specifies 50 days. Counting 7 Sabbaths forces this always to be on Sunday. I don't care what some source you find says as the Scripture is plain here. Therefore, when the early church gathered on Pentecost and received the Holy Spirit it was on Sunday. The Scripture is too clear on this to be anything else. If I have time, I will answer your other points later.
Whoops! All of the disciples of Jesus were Jewish! So why would they be worshipping on Sunday? This guy doesn't know is history.
Because they went to the synagogue in n sabbath and met together on Sunday .
Get a copy of the Didyche (1st century document which describes the Apostles and early church members), read poly carp, Josephus, Eusebius, and other 1st and 2nd early Christian’s - all mentioning that Christian’s met and broke bread on the 1st day of the week.
Not Jews but Israelites. Jews are not Israelites.
"worshipping on Sunday"? - they kept the Sabbath - read Act and the NT as a whole. PS that doesn't make me an Adventist.
Although the Christians gathered daily for prayer, fellowship, preaching, and teaching (cf. Acts 2:46; 5:42), the “chief day” for services of worship in the church was changed from the Jewish Sabbath to the first day of the week almost from the beginning, because it was the day of resurrection. If you are interested in modelling yourselves on the early Christians then why aren't you gathering for worship, every day of the week? BTW, the early Christians also faced horrible persecutions. Quite the contrast to the safe, comfortable, long lives that SDAs live. When was the last time an SDA knocked on my door? Never, to my memory. Where are the videos of SDAs, street preaching like Ray Comfort does? Or copping the fury of Jews in Israel, like Ray did when he went there to preach the 'good person' technique of convicting people? If you are facing murderous persecution like the early church, why keep it secret? Enough with these arguments about what is the right day and more of the great commission.
I can see you never red her writings you only criticize her nothing more...Her writings brought millions of people to Christ
She influenced people from other denomination too with her writings.
Former Adventists should know this....
Jesus and appostles did not preach about investigative judgement, which day is the right day to worship or what to eat and what not to eat ,
With all due respect, if you are honest and start your evangelized by telling people Helen G White is as authoritative as Holy Scripture they would slam the door on your face. And you would deserve it, because Holy Scripture is our rule and guide and nothing and no one compares to it.
You people know nothing about SDAdventism, you only know what you think you know through people like this guy. You don't actually study what we believe, you read but you don't study, and that's the problem! I was a Baptist before I was an SDA, did the same things this guy does, called her false, a plagiarist, and much more. After studying history, and the Bible, in comparison with what she wrote I became a SDA ALL OF YOU ARE COMPLETELY WRONG!
l used to listen to Walter Veith all the time. Law! Law! Law! A complete Gospel desert. Now, l listen to many FORMER Adventists, like Myles Christian.. You guys think that keeping the law is how you get to heaven, and you see everything through the lens of ''The great controversy''. This is NOT biblical at all. How on earth does ellen White know what happened before the beginning of time? Plus ...she says that eating meat will block the Holy Spirit. UN biblical. Just a couple of errors. l read things Ellen wrote. Do you?
@theresa42213 Of course, I read her, it's evident you only see in her writings what you want to without any context.
For example, and I'm paraphrasing here, she says as the world continues to get worse meat would be unfit for consumption, because of the effects of meat eating it will corrupt the faculties of the mind which would hinder us listening to the Holy Spirit.
Also, the commandments are kept out of love, any other reason is works. Are you married? Or ever been married? If so did you do, or do you do things for your husband because he's your husband and you have to? Or because you loved him and wanted the marriage to grow and be more wonderful over the time you're together? The commandments work the same way between us and God, either you do them because you have to, or your life becomes harmonious with his plan for you and out of love they become I will, and I won't as opposed to do and don't.
Thank you for replying. l went pretty hard on you, but l strongly disagree with Ellen.
@@TheFaithofJesus-bk4wlHey brother, I’m confused about the meat comment. Can you explain that in more detail?
@@ShepherdMinistry. EGW said that anyone eating meat, butter, eggs, salt, pepper, coffee, tea, and a host of other (self-made) foods would disqualify oneself from heaven.
Of course, Jesus not only ate fish, but also the Passover lamb. Romans 14 says that in the last days, there will be false prophets who advocate that people shouldn’t marry (that was EGW) and to abstain from eating meat (again EGW) 🤔
At 1.53 she stopped breathing n spoke...wow that's exactly what happened to the prophet Daniel..
Daniel 10:17
For how can this servant of my lord talk with you, my lord? As for me, no strength remains in me now, nor is any breath left in me.”
Interesting coincidence, eh?
That doesn't make her a true prophet because even Satan can disguise himself as an angel of light (see 2 Corinthians 11: 14).
@@hotwax9376 Neither does it make her a false prophet. Isaiah 8:20 "If they speak not according to this word it is because there is no light in them". Everything she has said agrees with and points to the Bible. She changes nothing, she adds nothing new, she speaks not against anything Biblical. She only magnifies it, only amplifies it, only clarifies. Steps to Christ and The Desire Of Ages are two good examples. What she says in The Great Controversy is also found in the pages of the Bible. It can be found through deep and prayerful study. I was skeptical too at first. Then as I investigated more closely I found her to be shining a light on God's Word, illuminating scripture, helping me to understand some difficult passages. Blessings to you as you prayerfully study God's Word.
@@williamstroud1455 No, not everything she says agrees with the Bible. She taught salvation by works, for example, while the Bible teaches salvation by faith:
"The terms of salvation for every son and daughter of Adam are here outlined. It is plainly stated that the condition of gaining eternal life is obedience to the commandments of God." (Review and Herald, October 26, 1897)
"Obedience to the law of ten commandments is the condition of salvation. This is God's positive requirement." (Review and Herald, May 3, 1898)
"For we maintain that a person is justified by faith apart from the works of the law." (Romans 3: 28)
"But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works, since otherwise grace is no longer grace." (Romans 11: 6)
"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- not by works, so that no one can boast." (Ephesians 2: 8-9)
@@hotwax9376 I think a good question is - Has anyone ever been saved through their works? I am of the belief that everyone who has ever been saved has been saved by grace through faith. Galatians 2:16 “Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.” So no one is saved by keeping the law. Jesus said “If ye love me, keep my commandments.”. Matthew 7:16-20 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.” So commandment keeping is a sign that a person loves Christ, the fruit that shows us who a person is allied with, a sign of salvation. Not a means to salvation. If you read that whole article you will see she says “The ten commandments, Thou shalt and, Thou shalt not, are ten promises secured to us if we render obedience to the law governing the universe.” So, God promises us “Thou shalt have no other gods before me” and so on. He promises, “You will do and not do these things. Nowhere in the article you mentioned does she say “keep the commandments to be saved.” She says “The saved will keep the commandments”. Not to be saved but because they are saved. So she’s not advocating salvation by works but works due to salvation.
Hmmm attention to Ellen White rather than Jesus Christ!

Wake up!
@@FormerAdventist Yes but you need a flashlight when you're in darkness.
Ellen White Taught that the poor sevy will be blotted out because of unconfessed sin!!
As the books of record are opened in the judgment, the lives of all who have believed on Jesus come in review before God. Beginning with those who first lived upon the earth, our Advocate presents the cases of each successive generation, and closes with the living. Every name is mentioned, every case closely investigated. Names are accepted, names rejected. When any have sins remaining upon the books of record, unrepented of and unforgiven, their names will be blotted out of the book of life, and the record of their good deeds will be erased from the book of God's remembrance....
How many Adventists are now unsaved? Its hard to determine but many would not even know that they are blotted out!
Whats equally sad is the poor soul could not be sure they are even saved!
This is but one of the white lies foisted upon the adventist church.
What is your understanding of this text:
Acts 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins MAY be blotted out, WHEN the times of refreshing SHALL come from the presence of the Lord.
@@moseswasonga5819 You got a comment on my comment before you pivot?

Law, investigative judgement, can you handle the grief?
Unconfessed sin, it's a heavy weight on your back
Better do the works, or you might just fall off track
They say that sin won't rule you, but they ain't telling the whole truth
If you don't confess, you'll find yourself in a tight booth

About how you should live your life, in a Godly way

Law, investigative judgement, can you handle the grief?
Unconfessed sin, it's a heavy weight on your back
Better do the works, or you might just fall off track
It's all about the works, man, that's what they say
But is it really fair, to judge you this way?
You can try your best, but still fall short

People that study not read but study scriptures discover a lot from it than those who read it. These dictionaries become problematic to those that just read and much worse to those that do not even read.
There are many Adventist studied the Bible and the Bible alone that knew nothing about the Adventists let alone E.G. White writings.
Who after studying the scriptures not only believed but embraced the Biblical doctrines that the Adventist movement believes and teach.
Such individuals after such discoveries left their churches and worship on their own until they come across a person or article or something that will direct the to the fellowship of Adventist.
To this guy such people are clearly directed by Satan to come to SDA and not by God given that to him SDA is a satanic movement.
We should treat those people's testimonies as lies and instead believe him to be a true man of God.
The truth about what to believe and or not is in the insults and abusive language he used and not the word of God which he said little or nothing about.
Interesting.
Ther fourth command says, work SIX days, not FIVE, as the adventists do and they have the audacity to refer to the fourth commandment as the SEAL OF GOD.
Where do you see Adventists working five days? Sunday is one of the busiest days in the week for Adventists. It's the day when all the work around the house and garden is done because the other five days they are working mainly outside the home. That's why we welcome the Sabbath rest so much.
You should learn to count from the first day of the week SUN-DAY
Do you even know that Sunday is the first day of the week ? Read Mathew 28:1- ( Catholic Bible) you will understand surely !
the sabbath is from Friday sunset to Saturday sunset.

As true Adventists we are not moved by this false image as well as misrepresentation. We will continue to teach as well as preach the truth in love, humility and meekness as Christ did.
Can you explain something that was wrong in either of Phil Johnson's presentations and explain how this makes his argument invalid?
@@garretttekampe9564 I am one of those that have a problem with everything he says here. I can't respond to every thing because he makes it difficult for anyone to respond.
He for an example made numerous quotes but provides no reference and this is because he does not want people to go read and find out that he lied.
He refers to her as a self proclaimed prophetess for an example but provided no quotation where EGW claims to be a prophetess, the reason he would not is because she never ever called herself a prophetess never. He is lying.
He claims that EGW lied about claiming that Jesus was to come in her life time and that she is now dead for years means she lied.
If this is what makes her a liar it means Paul was also a liar because in 1Thessalonians 4: 17 believe that Jesus was to arrive whilst he was alive.
It is also worth noting that throughout his talk not once did he quote the Bible, let alone open it to prove or support his arguments about EGW being a false prophetess.
People need to accept his word because he has PHD. He presented nothing that I can say it is the truth that is worth following.
If there is one will have to seaft through the abusing language, insults, anger and hatred directed at SDA and EGW to find it.
Jesus in John 15:17 "If the world hates you, understand that it hated Me first". Some of us understand that is why we will not waste time on people like him.
@@garretttekampe9564as Adventists we teach as well as preach our message with respect, humility and love. We never become angry and hateful to those who see things differently. No amount insults and hatred has never lead anyone to Jesus.
We don't push anything but just expose God's people to what we believe to be the Bible truth and the Holy Spirit does the rest.
The Bible and the Bible alone is enough. It is however worth mentioning that there are many that are in the Adventist Church after reading her EGW books which points them to the Bible truth nothing else.
@@Ace-bz2ie if someone was teaching a message other than the one Jesus and the apostles taught, but was nice about it, would that be a good thing? The content is the issue here.

The gataltians were not talked to with kind language by Paul, do you think Paul was being unloving when writing the book of Galatians? What Egw said we're God's truth were very close to what the book of Galatians was dealing with on the works of the law that were a different gospel all together. What do you say about that?
@@garretttekampe9564 do you know that we feel the same about you that you are not upholding the Gospel but we do not insult no body but are patient. What gives him a right to act as if he is God.

A person that rejects God's law, the ten commandments to be specific rejects the very Jesus he claims to be about.
The Bible is very clear about that. This guy is a clear heretic man including anyone else who believes what he teaches as well as preaches as being correct.
This I can prove as I do everyday in this platform. What he teaches is contrary to what the Apostle taught nowhere have the taught people to not keep God's commandments.
I challenged you to give me a verse and chapter where they taught people to be disobedient to God. There is no such thing in the entire Bible.

Apostle Paul had visions and claimed to speak for God. Our Messiah never taught saved by grace alone. He and the Old Testament emphasize obedience, works, and the law. It is how we love the Father and our neighbors. Excellent video on exposing Ellen White. After that, you spewed the teachings of false apostle Paul instead of our Messiah. Covenant law is still to be observed. It is everything from Gen 1:1 to the Covenant confirming meal of Exodus 24:11. The Sabbath is a test Commandment. It is a sign between Yahuwah and us. Put Paul to the test the way the Church at Ephesus did. Rev 2. Oh, and there are only 12 Apostles. Mattias replaced Judas. Paul would be 13th

Once saved, always saved.
Saved by grace alone.
Law done away.
Original sin doctrine.
No one righteous.

Adventists have a righteousness
Paul describes it here.
Rom 10:5
For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.

Righteousness of doing!
Read the whole chapter.
Y’all need to hitch up your campmeeting and move out from The Old Covenant and into The New.
Jesus said: IT IS FINISHED.
There were no Ands or Buts…
@cindiloowhoo1166 I'm not in a covenant mate. I am saved by faith and grace, no covenant required!
First, we need to know the context. Many Jews were “going about to establish their own righteousness” (Rom. 10:3) and seeking “the righteousness which is of the law” (Rom. 10:5). But with the coming of the Messiah, the true way of righteousness was presented. Righteousness was offered to all who would fix their faith in Christ. He was the one to whom the ancient ceremonial system had pointed.
Even if one includes in the definition of law here the Ten Commandments, this doesn’t mean that the Ten Commandments were done away with. The moral law points out our sins, our faults, our shortcomings, and thus leads us to our need of a Savior, our need of forgiveness, our need of righteousness, all of which are found only in Jesus. In that sense, Christ is the “end” of the law, in that the law leads us to Him and His righteousness. The Greek word for “end” here is teloes, which also can be translated “goal” or “purpose.” Christ is the final purpose of the law, in that the law is to lead us to Jesus.
Adventists are grace-saved obedient subjects of Christ's new covenant just as those of the early church.
They, both Jews and Gentile converts to Christianity kept the Sabbath commandment.
Acts 13:42 And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath. 44 And the next sabbath day came almost the whole city together to hear the word of God.
And if you think that was legalistic observance, you immediately learn that they were under grace.
Acts 13:43 Now when the congregation was broken up, many of the Jews and religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking to them, PERSUADED THEM TO CONTINUE IN THE GRACE OF GOD.
Notice they were already under God's grace while keeping the Sabbath. If the keeping of God's 10 commands (inclusive of the 4th command on Sabbath observance) was righteousness of the law...Paul would have told them as in all his other letters to RECEIVE grace...but they said CONTINUE.
Grace does not contradict obedience. Obedience is the natural fruit of grace. Blessings.
@@bop-ya-goodRead your Bible with a balanced mind...all who are in Christ, who are saved by grace through faith are under the new covenant ratified by Christ's blood shed on the cross.
Matthew 26:28 For this is My blood of the NEW COVENANT, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
Romans 3:24 Being justified FREELY BY HIS GRACE through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
Romans 3:25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation THROUGH FAITH IN HIS BLOOD, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God.
#Those justified freely by grace, have faith in that blood that was shed to establish the new covenant between themselves and God. Amen.
There's only one church that speaks the truth of God that other denominations lacks is the Seventh day Adventist church. Satan uses his servants to drive away God's truth to become erred messages
What was SDA before Ellen?
Until christians realize that the Bible has contradictions, denominations will continue to rise, for the "Truth" depends on the narrative that one reads. For example, the Bible teaches that a child of God cannot sin. Of course l do not believe this, but it is written, nevertheless.
1 John 3:9
9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
So, as you can see, Ellen White was not the only one uttering strange things!
