    Nonsense. There are numerous web sites written by ex SDAs who have at least one thing in common with you. They challenged the doctrine of the sanctuary and like you, couldn't understand it and decided it couldn't be true... Not on the basis of their understanding and biblical refutation, but on...

    KJV Revelation 22:2, 14 2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.... 14 Blessed are they that do his...

    Actually you might be surprised at many of Ellen White's stances on a few issues of her day. Take for example her recommendations on dress. Women's fashion at that time required dresses to be so long that in dirty unpaved streets, as many were, they would pick up much dust and mud because they...

    I agree. As you will know, o I'm an Adventist. But I'm not posting EGW comments here in order to make you an Adventist. And that was never her intention either. Her ministry was to bring people to Jesus. And that is the ministry of the SDA church. To lead people to a Savior who died for their...

    When God sends to men warnings so important that they are represented as proclaimed by holy angels flying in the midst of heaven, (see Revelation 14) he requires every person endowed with reasoning powers to heed the message. The fearful judgments denounced against the worship of the beast and...

    "To the law and to the testimony. If they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them." Isaiah 8:20. The people of God are directed to the Scriptures as their safeguard against the influence of false teachers and the delusive power of spirits of darkness. Satan...

    Just what Ellen White said. See above. We need more people like her, who encouraged everyone to come to Christ.

    From the pen of Ellen White

    “Everyone that is of the truth,” Christ declared, “heareth My voice.” John 18:37. Having stood in the counsels of God, having dwelt in the everlasting heights of the sanctuary, all elements of truth were in Him and of Him. He was one with God. It means more than finite minds can comprehend to...

    From the pen of Ellen White

    The proud heart strives to earn salvation; but both our title to heaven and our fitness for it are found in the righteousness of Christ. The Lord can do nothing toward the recovery of man until, convinced of his own weakness, and stripped of all self-sufficiency, he yields himself to the control...

    “What is justification by faith? It is the work of God in laying the glory of man in the dust, and doing for man that which it is not in his power to do for himself. When men see their own nothingness, they are prepared to be clothed with the righteousness of Christ.”—The Faith I Live By, p. 109.

    For those who don't mind a little work and a small investment, it's possible to create your own healthy back yard veggie garden. There are some very good you tube presentations on how to go about it And in these last days, it's a very good idea to be able to provide for yourself if possible...

    What is the one true Church?

    From the words of a good old protestant hymn... My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus' blood and righteousness. On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand: all other ground is sinking sand.

    Perhaps that's the result, but with less violence.

    Why Is Western Christianity So Soft?

    Some likely believe this to be judgemental... KJV Revelation 3:14-22 14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; 15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would...

    What is the one true Church?

    Except they have been interpreted in a startling way by many, as you so eloquently pointed out. But the most startling interpretation comes from Rome itself, being a corruption of the principle gospel message itself, turning a message of faith and grace into something one must earn and work...

    What is the one true Church?

    Nominally so yes. But I would hesitate to declare categorically that the millions of inhabitants of South America whose current mixture of occult and Christian superstitions which they inherited from forbears forced to convert at the end of a sword, could be called Christian.

    What is the one true Church?

    They were a part of it yes, but there were Christians before them who had no connection to Rome whatever. Do you know of the "silent cities" of Syria, their antiquity and character? Do you know why they were abandoned, and for 13 centuries have lain empty? Do you know where that vast population...

    What is the one true Church?

    They were persecuted in the wilderness. Therefore they could be found. But for the most part they had peace and quiet, and it was there that God fed them. KJV Revelation 12:6 6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a...

    What is the one true Church?

    And still you cannot declare openly your faith in the blood of Christ that is an atonement for sin. I could find quotes from your Jesuit masters that declare that Jesus death was not a propitiation, but merely an example. KJV Revelation 5:9 9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to...

    A serious questions for the Jehovah's Witnesses on these threads.

    Exactly. And you follow and obey the Roman idea of transferring the solemnity of the 7th day of the week to the first. And you use the Protestant presumption of having authority to make every day equal in order to justify making Sunday above them. Totally and completely inconsistent and...
