I realize I made an error, the copy and paste into a plagiarizer grammer checker would be saying I plagiarized E.W.
Foolishness dances with foolishness with dysfunctional steps. Wisdom discounted and considered irrelevant by the brilliance of foolishness highlights ones darkness.Everybody hates everybody else.....it is laughable.
We ( myself included) point fingers at the false doctrines of organized church denominations.
We lay claim that ours is the true church. (psst not a member nor attend ANY organized denom nor church)
The only true church is the body & bride of Christ which follows his doctrine found in the N. T. under his law of
love !

Their doctrinal belief though is they deny you your salvation if you are a sabbath breaking Sunday worshiper. They teach then the person has taken the mark of the beast and belongs to Satan and not God. They are totally works of the law oriented and not grace for salvation as being a free gift to those who believe. They therefore condemn to hell the vast majority of all Christians for the last 2000 years.There are some good Sevvies, SDAs or whatever you want to call them out there that love Jesus, walk with the Lord and live good Christian lives, yeah they have got things wrong in the past and may have a few different beliefs, but at the end of the day they too believe and worship the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit.

2. Protestant Churches are also Harlots."'And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH' (Rev. 17:5). The symbolism here is of a great mother church and her daughters. It takes no genius to figure out who this is. The great Roman church claims to be the mother church."1
3. God is calling Christians out of Catholic and Protestant Churches to join the SDA Church."The daughters who came from her "protested" and pulled away and became known as Protestants. The name Babylon is a family name which includes both mother and children. It is shocking and sobering to realize that God is clearly indicting both mother and daughters as fallen."2
"'And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues' (Rev. 18:4). The command is to God's people. Many are still in Babylon. God is lovingly calling them out before the plagues fall upon Babylon. ... Her false teachings are God's reason for punishing her and calling His people out."

They deny salvation by faith in Christ to anyone who is not in their church. If you Johann are not SDA, to them you are going to hell and following Satan. They exclude every Christian believer in Christ from salvation except the ones following their own private doctrines.2Ti 2:19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his.

I am not God-so it is not for me to say who is going to Hell-or following Satan.They deny salvation by faith in Christ to anyone who is not in their church.

They do not believe the scriptures, just some scriptures, and it is not like I or any person can change someone on the inside. That is what God does when making us born again. We have many warnings from Christ and his apostles that false teachers would be among us.I am not God-so it is not for me to say who is going to Hell-or following Satan.
Php 2:12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
Php 2:13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
Php 2:14 Do all things without murmurings and disputings:
Php 2:15 That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;
Php 2:16 Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.
I Thessalonians 2:13 says, “the Word of God…effectually worketh…in you that believe.” God works in us by His Word, and changes our will and desires as we grow and apply it. Our minds, attitude, priorities, worldview, and understanding of life are transformed by the Word of God. Through it we learn to see the world through His eyes and feel with His heart. As God works in us by the Word, His “will” becomes ours, and we will seek to “do” things of “His good pleasure” (Phil. 2:13). And to will and do of God’s good pleasure is about “Look[ing] not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others” (Phil. 2:4). God’s will and desire is for us to put the needs of others first, in love, like Christ did for us at the Cross (Phil. 2:5-8).
In Ephesians 3:20, Paul writes, “Now unto Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us.” Paul says the unlimited power by which Almighty God is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask in prayer is the same power that works in us. So there is no limit to what God can do in and through you and me. As God works in us, He is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, or could ever conceive, or possibly imagine through you and me!

2 Peter 2
But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction. 2 And many will follow their destructive ways, because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed. 3 By covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words; for a long time their judgment has not been idle, and their destruction [a]does not slumber.
They deny the grace of God in salvation by faith alone. Knowingly? yeah, just the same way people also deny God in Romans 1, but not from true knowledge as they never had that, or they would not say and teach the things they do. They have no light in them, no anointing to know the truth as that comes from God alone by revelation. That is why they are a cultish Christian sect.—II Pet. 2:1,2 As we know, there are many forms of evil in this world. Like the terrorists, false teachers ply their wares in similar fashion. They infiltrate the household of God for the sole purpose of leading men to perdition.
These unscrupulous teachers are the emissaries of Satan who weave a web of deception to secure fame and fortune. Having established that prophecy came through holy men who were moved by the Spirit in time past, Peter reminds his hearers that there were also false prophets among the people of Israel (Duet. 13:1-5).
Then he adds, “even as there shall be false teachers among you,” that is, their posterity. They were not to think that they were exempt from these insidious attacks, nor should we. While the faces of evil may change from generation to generation, the objective to deceive is the same. They are spiritual terrorists!
Who exactly is a false teacher?
First of all, we must distinguish between a false teacher and a teacher who is merely careless or inconsistent with a particular area of the Word of God. For example, C. I. Scofield played a prominent role in the struggle to recover the gospel of the grace of God.
After recently reading his biography, I was deeply touched by his profound dedication to produce a reference Bible that the average reader could understand and enjoy. 8 Berean Searchlight He systematically developed the dispensational themes taught in the Scriptures, placing a special emphasis on the distinction between law and grace.
But Dr. Scofield never fully saw the distinctive character of Paul’s apostleship and message; therefore, he taught that the Church began on the day of Pentecost. While he lacked understanding in certain areas of the Scriptures he nevertheless was faithful to the light God had given him. So then, teaching error through ignorance does not mean a Bible teacher is a false teacher.
Who among us has all truth?
We are all growing in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. This is why we emphasize the importance of being a Berean and diligently studying to see if these things are so.
A false teacher is someone who knowingly, deceitfully, and deliberately teaches that which is untrue. We normally associate false teachers with the unregenerate; however, this is not always the case.
Paul wrote to the Galatians regarding his defense of the gospel of the grace of God at Jerusalem: “And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage: To whom we gave place by subjection, no, not for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you” (Gal. 2:4,5).
Those who understand the truth of Paul’s apostleship and message, but deny it, and teach what they know to be error are false teachers. But why would a pastor or teacher purposely teach that which is wrong?
The reasons are troubling to say the least, but a few that come to mind are pride, fear of rejection, personal gain, etc. They count the cost, and the cost is just too high. But these brethren seem to have forgotten that they must appear before the Judgment Seat of Christ. What shall be their defense for withholding the truth of Paul’s gospel from those whom God entrusted to their care?
“But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not” (II Pet. 2:1-3).
The unregenerate false teachers spoken of here are the masters of deception.
Peter effectively warned his countrymen to beware of those who after his death would lie in wait to deceive. They are wolves in sheep’s clothing. It is important to note that these deceivers “bring in damnable [destructive] heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them.”
They deliberately bring falsehood alongside the truth that they might deceive the unsuspecting.
This is often accomplished by introducing something new as a fuller expression of sound doctrine. Consequently, it is essential to heed the warning: “Beware! Error often rides to its deadly work on the back of the truth.” In addition to teaching unlimited redemption, the above passage also demonstrates that these false teachers denied the very One who provided redemption for them. While they probably taught their hearers that Christ was a great prophet and teacher, they rejected the truth that He was the Redeemer of Israel.
These “wells without water” blatantly denied Christ’s substitutionary death, precious shed blood, and bodily resurrection. They even called into question the inspiration of the Scriptures themselves when they defiantly declared, “Where is the promise of His coming?” (II Pet. 3:4). The trademark of all false teachers is the denial of the Deity of Christ, commonly known as Gnosticism, which was prevalent at that time. But how do these workers of iniquity so effectively mislead their followers?
As Peter says, “many shall follow” them. Since the natural man is inherently religious and would rather believe a lie, he’s easy prey for the “pernicious ways” and “feigned words” of a false teacher. Notice they are identified by their pernicious ways. In other words, they’re outrageous, shameless, and given to excess. These unscrupulous preachers have magnetic personalities that draw men to them. And with “feigned words” or persuasive speech, which could deceive the Devil himself, if it were possible, they lead men to destruction. Mark these words and mark them well, unsound doctrine is always accompanied by ungodly behavior. The two go hand in hand! The goal of these false teachers is to exploit their unwary followers. They are purely out for financial gain; therefore, Peter warns those that are intrigued by their notoriety accordingly, they will “make merchandise of you.” Like a thief, they will rob you blind, while promising you health, wealth, and prosperity. Stop and think, wealth is the crown jewel of most cults. As it has been said, “error goes first class, while the truth goes begging!”

Do you really believe SDA's would deliberately teach demonic doctrines when we might have not all OUR doctrines right?

Now note, we are dealing with “Seventh Day Adventism” and not with Seventh Day Adventists. There are many splendid people who are numbered with this sect and we are sure that some of them are saved, in spite of their ignorance of God’s saving message and spiritual program for this day in which we live.They deny the grace of God in salvation by faith alone. Knowingly? yeah, just the same way people also deny God in Romans 1, but not from true knowledge as they never had that, or they would not say and teach the things they do. They have no light in them, no anointing to know the truth as that comes from God alone by revelation. That is why they are a cultish Christian sect.
