: God Raised Up the SDA Church to Restore
: 3AM Sun Apr 05, 2009 - 10:37:22
The Reason God raised up the 7th Day Adventist movement was to restore the true Gospel message (Revelation 14:6-12), for these last days of earth's history...just before Jesus Christ returns to this earth.

Thus the Seventh-Day Adventist church emerged as a rebuke to the churches of the Reformation who had not continued growing with the light given them, and this remnant who formed the church made the Sabbath a cornerstone of the name 'Seventh-Day' as well as Christ-centered as the 'Adventist' part of the name shows. Then this remnant not only follow the commandments but have the testimony of Christ which is the Spirit of prophecy given to them through what we can clearly see in the message that Ellen White gives in her writings. So corporately the church has all the attributes that the remnant people would have, and that a remnant people would want to be a part of.

The theory of rebuking other churches through the name 'Seventh-day Adventist' is the brain child of Ellen White as is the fallacy of the SDA church being the continuation of the reformation.  SDA's, at the very least, do not subscribe to Sola Scriptura or Sola Fide

According to their own interpretation of the criteria, as long as SDA's maintain an official pro-choice abortion stance they have no legitimate claim to any sort of remnant status

Why would I want to be part of any organization that makes bogus claims of keeping the 10 commandments when they actively support the breaking of the 6th commandment through the support of Abortion?

Outside of the SDA interpretation of the remnant, there is absolutely no Biblical support for identification of the 'remnant' with a corporately organized religious denomination.

The testimony of Jesus is the ESSENCE of all prophecy.  This text in Revelation is not describing the Gift of the Spirit – prophecy.

I wonder how many SDA's can quote the Bible text, and tell us where it is found, that states the original, complete gospel message in its simplest form?

WHY do you ignore what Revelation says ?

Revelation 14:6   And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,  

 14:7   Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; 1.)  for the hour of his judgment is come: and 2.)  worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.  

God's Gospel message includes....when God's Judgment Day would start....and, the 7th day sabbath.

Read the context.

You should merely forgive Larry.


anyway, the mormons say they have they restored church. restored ::pondering:: restore the gospel?
The Bible has revealed the true church of God.
Revelation  14:12   Here is the patience of the saints: here [are] they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.   

Mormons do not keep the Commandments of God, nor do they teach anyone to keep them, as Jesus Christ told Christians to do.


what happened to the gospel that it needs restoring?
The Gospel message includes God's Judgment day, as well as observing the 7th day sabbath.
Revelation  14:6   And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,  

 14:7   Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.

I'm not the example you are suppose to follow....Jesus Christ is, and HE kept all God's Commandments....and, told ALL Christians to do the same.

larry2 - That's odd, I thought we were to follow Paul as he followed Christ (1 Cor. 11:1), and that God fulfilled the righteousness of the law in us (not by us) who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit (Romans 8:4).

I wrote - 1 Corinthians   3:4   For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I [am] of Apollos; are ye not carnal ? 

3AM - Explain the point you  are trying to make ?

larry2 - It appears that you, like the Catholic Church are trying to elevate SDA's status to be the gateway to heaven, and yet Paul says that type of separation is carnal.

I asked if you kept all the commandments, since you are saying we should, or face judgment.

3AM -   I'm not the example you are suppose to follow....Jesus Christ is, and HE kept all God's Commandments....and, told ALL Christians to do the same.

larry2 - I didn't think that was that hard a question. If you base your salvation upon keeping all the commandments, or even being considered as being a Christian, I would think you had that covered. I'd sure hate to think of you at the great white throne judgment wondering if your name was in the book of life, or if it had been erased.

Every Christian will be tested, as to whether they will obey God, or not.

God is not taking anyone, into heaven who disobeys, what HE says to do.

When Jesus comes again...veryones fate has already been decided.

In other words, Judgment is over with, before Jesus Christ can come again......that fact is in the BIble.

Dear 3AM, I'm sorry you have no idea as to your security in Christ. I'm also sorry that you cannot say you follow the law as you want others to do, and that you continue to sidestep direct questions about it, but that is between you and God.

May God bless you also, and convince you in your own heart as to God's perfect will for your life; God does receive those that love him and He loves you 3AM, as do I in Jesus' name - larry2

you know, i used to watch Finley on sunday. everything he said was in line with the gospel. it was yrs later that i found out he was SDA. i was watching Batchlor on TV for a long time. i didnt know he was in a religion. i agreed with everything he said. but later i noticed him talking about us and the like. and that they are gods people because they honor the sabboth. it was when i was watching 3ABN that i saw Finley on it. thats when i noticed they kept talking about them being gods church. they are good. they dont have all the wild maddness that the catholics or mormons have. Batchelor didnt preach being born again but Finley did. when a person is born again they will never join some religion. i guess finley didnt care and just wanted to save people. but batchelor wanted people to join the SDA. their message is good but the salvation by works dont make it. observing the sabboth is great but it will not save you.

It is possible that groups do arise to stimulate a restoration of the Church.   I suspect that truth can be found in every corner of the globe.  When an atheist states that a baby is cute.  That is true.  No need to throw that baby out with the bath water.  But I won't become an atheist just because I find some truth.  Not that this thread has or has not the truth on this particular subject, but I suspect some truth indeed exists somewhere in all this.

Christians that keep all the commandments of God are not necesarily perfect but they do strive to be because it is the will of God.  Mat 5:48.  Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

Dear Brother davidandme, I know where you're coming from, or at least think I do; I do not know others who are boasting in their works.

When someone tells me that if I do not accomplish following the law, and I'm going to hell for breaking a law, and me and you both know we all fail God, there needs to be testimony to their righteousness.

Having talked with you for some time, I believe you know my stance on Jesus being my rest, I do not restrict myself on certain foods, etc. But here comes one along and declares they do all these things, and I doubt the whole truth is in them.

I haven't seen the law tell us to do the best you can; it says to not fail in one point or be guilty of all. So here we have a law keeper breaking all the law probably on a regular basis, but I can't even get them to admit they ever break a law. I just hope they still base their salvation somewhat on what Jesus' did; not all on what they do to earn their own salvation.

I don't mean to get involved here, and become a thorn in the side of others, other than when a thread I replied to on a different board gets transferred to here. A funny story comes to mind you may have heard before referring to those thinking they're the only ones in heaven. One in heaven asks another; who are those way over there? Shhh! They think they're the only ones here. Normally I have heard this referring to Baptists.  ::smile::

Again, may God bless you Davidandme in your walk with God, and for Him in the blessed name of Jesus - larry2

I'd sure hate to think of you at the great white throne judgment wondering if your name was in the book of life, or if it had been erased.

People who disobey God will have their names erased.

The people who do what God says to do....will keep their names in the Book of Life.
so 3AM, i guess you obey all christs commandments? then you wll get to heaven. be honest, do you obey all his commandments?

keeping any or all commandments will not save you Wayne.  Only Jesus saves.  But one of the evidence of a save person is when a person recognizes that the Laws of God should be kept.

Dear Brother davidandme, I know where you're coming from, or at least think I do; I do not know others who are boasting in their works.

When someone tells me that if I do not accomplish following the law, and I'm going to hell for breaking a law, and me and you both know we all fail God, there needs to be testimony to their righteousness.

Having talked with you for some time, I believe you know my stance on Jesus being my rest, I do not restrict myself on certain foods, etc. But here comes one along and declares they do all these things, and I doubt the whole truth is in them.

I haven't seen the law tell us to do the best you can; it says to not fail in one point or be guilty of all. So here we have a law keeper breaking all the law probably on a regular basis, but I can't even get them to admit they ever break a law. I just hope they still base their salvation somewhat on what Jesus' did; not all on what they do to earn their own salvation.

I don't mean to get involved here, and become a thorn in the side of others, other than when a thread I replied to on a different board gets transferred to here. A funny story comes to mind you may have heard before referring to those thinking they're the only ones in heaven. One in heaven asks another; who are those way over there? Shhh! They think they're the only ones here. Normally I have heard this referring to Baptists.  ::smile::

Again, may God bless you Davidandme in your walk with God, and for Him in the blessed name of Jesus - larry2


The role of the Laws of God are not to be  merciful.  All the Laws do is point out our sins.  They do us a favor because they show the will of God for us.  It should be our will to keep the Laws given by God.  Can we keep them all with this sinful body? Jesus did it.  So can we.  So how did Jesus do it?  He was subject to his heavenly Father at all times.  Have anybody else on this earth done it?  Not that I know off.  Is it possible to be save even if we fail to keep these commandments?  Yes.  If Jesus covers with His robes of righteousness. 1 Jo 2:1  My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.

brother 3AM, you are straining at a gnat and swallowing a camel. no man is justified by the law. we can have a worship service any and every day of the week. rite? is it wrong to have a worship service on tuesday? or does your religion tie your hands and tell you when you can worship. well, you can have that legalistic religion. good luck

: Re: God Raised Up the SDA Church to Restore

Gal. 5:4 doesn't say anything about law keepers.  It is about those who are justified (in their own eyes) by the law.

A better text on law keeping would be:

1 Corinthians 7:19  Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.

Romans 4

13It was not through law that Abraham and his offspring received the promise that he would be heir of the world, but through the righteousness that comes by faith. 14For if those who live by law are heirs, faith has no value and the promise is worthless, 15because law brings wrath. And where there is no law there is no transgression.

Excellent text!  Especially the last clause: "where there is no law there is no transgression."  So, since (according to your theology, or the popular one) there is no law then there is no sin.  Abortion isn't a sin, the Holocaust wasn't a sin, Hugh Hefner is a saint, there is no sin, period, everything is just hunky-dory and we don't need a Saviour.

Unfortunately, the text doesn't say anything about law keeping; so my point stands.

(Romans 14:2-6) "People range from those who believe they may eat any sort of meat to those whose faith is so weak they dare not eat anything except vegetables.  Meat-eaters must not despise the scrupulous.  On the other hand, the scrupulous must not condemn those who feel free to eat anything they choose, since God has welcomed them.  It is not for you to condemn someone else's servant: whether he stands or falls it is his own master's business; he will stand you may be sure, because the Lord has power to make him stand.  If one man keeps certain days as holier than others, and another considers all days to be equally holy, each must be left free to hold his own opinion.

Does your employer require you to come into work on Sunday? (if not... don't you volunteer to work for free.. because after all you are supposed to work 6 days a week) ... if not then you are not obeying God's commandment.

Nope, it is pro-choice.  It's either a '1' or a '0'.  Can't just play games to justify SDA run hospitals killing babies.  I am betting even Ellen White wouldn't think too highly of an SDA institution condoning the killing of the image of God (baby).

Not always.  There are cases where the pregnancy is literally killing the mother.  A local newscast had one about a woman who lost over a third of her body weight in her pregnancy.  So, here it is either kill two or save one.  What would you have done?

Can't just play games to justify SDA run hospitals killing babies.
I wasn't seeking a justification for any hospital or even especially an SDA owned one.  You might seek to stop imputing false motives.  You didn't ask anywhere near enough questions ot find out what I was thinking and why.

I am betting even Ellen White wouldn't think too highly of an SDA institution condoning the killing of the image of God (baby).
If the abortion was done solely because someone didn't want to have a baby, or other similar reason then I'd say that you are 100% correct.
