HISTORY OF ADVENTISTS = TRINITY? THE GROWING OF APOSTASY UNTILL THE END OF THE TIME
Laodicea, the Omega Crisis and the Announced Punishment of God
What is the Omega Crisis?
- “The enemy of souls has sought to bring in the supposition that a great reformation was to take place among Seventh-day Adventists, and that this reformation would consist in giving up the doctrines which stand as the pillars of our faith, and engaging in a process of reorganisation. Were this reformation to take place, what would result? The principles of truth that God in His wisdom has given to the remnant church, would be discarded. Our religion would be changed. The fundamental principles that have sustained the work for the last fifty years would be accounted as error. A new organisation would be established. Books of a new order would be written. A system of intellectual philosophy would be introduced. The founders of this system would go into the cities, and do a wonderful work. The Sabbath of course, would be lightly regarded, as also the God who created it. Nothing would be allowed to stand in the way of the new movement. The leaders would teach that virtue is better than vice, but God being removed, they would place their dependence on human power, which, without God, is worthless. Their foundation would be built on the sand, and storm and tempest would sweep away the structure.“ {Ellen White: 1AB206 1SM 204.2; FG1.215.2}
In defense of the teaching of the Trinity, this clear text is rejected by denying that there has been a reorganisation in our church, a rejection of fundamental principles, and the Omega apostasy. Many claim that Ellen White wrote only what could have happened, but that it did not happen. In the above quote, God’s prophet express with sorrow how God’s people will depart so far from the truth, while simultaneously desiring and hoping to remain true. Similarly in the Old Testament, there is a call to Israel to return to God. What does that statement from Ellen White tell us? The truths established during the first 50 years of our church will be called “delusions”. Our pioneers clearly taught that the Trinity comes from the enemy’s side. As a prophet of God, EGW did not deny their words. Instead she wrote that the pioneering teachings were true and that apostasy would declare them invalid.
According to her, not taking Sabbath seriously is another part of the apostasy, and she also writes that the pillars of truth would be removed. Despite the claim that the Sabbath has remained intact, and that there has not been any apostasy, we see that the superficial observance of Sabbath has been fulfilled. When we look at most of the Adventists around the world, we see that they cook on Saturdays, do sports, watch TV, and that, unfortunately, is especially followed by many preachers in the West.
When God sent manna in the wilderness, He did not do it on the Sabbath. Collecting mana is analogous to today’s cooking. For the old Adventists, cooking on the Sabbath was a clear violation of the 4th commandment. Regarding the acceptance of apostasy in our church, Jesus tells us clearly that it is present and leading:
- “ 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; I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. Because thou sayest, I am rich (a testimony that we have the right theology), and increased with goods (understand the truth), and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind (misunderstanding and non-acceptance of the true truth), and naked (true theology is rejected): I counsel thee to buy of me gold (lost the most valuable truth about the Holy Spirit and others that have been rejected) tried in the fire (cleansing from false teachings), that thou mayest be rich (to understand the truth again); and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes (recognising pure Biblical truth, the depths of apostasy, and false teaching) with eyesalve, that thou mayest see (a call to re-accept the truth).“ {Revelation 3:14-18}
Today’s Laodicea does not think about whether there is a mixture of false theology in their faith. They sees the message of Revelation as a warning, while often do not question the blindness of their spiritual state. Only sincere surrender to God can make changes and open the eyes. The message clearly states that we have lost the truth and that we are called to return to it through a healed vision.
The Trinity is the only teaching that is new within our important points of theology. Ellen White, as a prophet of God, wrote that the last apostasy and the blindness of Laodicea, would be guided by the false teachings about the Holy Spirit, as a continuation of the work started by Dr. Kellogg.
- “The ´Living Temple´ contains the alpha of THESE theories. I knew that the omega would follow in a little while; and I trembled for our people.” {Ellen White: SpTB02 53.2}
As a prophet of God, Ellen White wrote that astonishing successes would accompany THIS apostasy.
- “The founders of this system would go into the cities, and do a wonderful work.“ {Ellen White: 1AB206 , 1SM 204.2; FG1.215.2}
- “LIKE ancient Israel, the church has dishonored her God by departing from the light, neglecting her duties, and abusing her high and exalted privilege of being peculiar and holy in character. Her members have violated their covenant to live for God and him only. They have joined with the selfish and world-loving. Pride, the love of pleasure, and sin have been cherished, and Christ has departed. His Spirit has been quenched in the church.” {Ellen White: RH, May 5, 1885}
Through His prophets, God has clearly announced that the punishment for this apostasy would happen before the rest of the world is punished for rejecting God, and she said it applies directly to us and not just to ancient Israel:
- “Study the ninth chapter of Ezekiel. These words WILL be literally fulfilled.” {Ellen White: Letter 106, 1909}
- “And the LORD said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof. And to the others he said in mine hearing, Go ye after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity: Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon Whom is the mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men which were before the house.” {Ezekiel 9:4-6}
- “Here we see that the church—the Lord’s sanctuary—was the first to feel the stroke of the wrath of God. The ancient men, those to Whom God had given great light and who had stood as guardians of the spiritual interests of the people, had betrayed their trust” {Ellen White: 5T, p. 211,1882}
When God describes to Ezekiel what abominations are done in Israel, He says to kill all who have no mark and then He says, “Begin at My sanctuary.” This means that God’s sanctuary was full of those who should be killed because they turned their backs on God. They will not understand that the matter applies to them and that they receive God’s punishment. Throughout the third chapter of the book of the prophet Malachi, we read God’s admonitions to His people:
- “Behold, I will send my messenger (Angel), and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, Whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple” {Malachi 3:1}
- “For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed” {Malachi 3:6}
- “Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house” {Malachi 3:10}
No matter how much God rebukes His people because they are in sin and have turned their backs on Him, God still calls them ‘My saints, My house, My people!’ That is why God continues to send us warnings, and the message from Revelation 14 is the last message of warning to His people! The first angelic message is God’s call to His people to abandon the service of a false god (Trinity) and to return to the true God and His Son. So the question of the truth about the Trinity has to do with who we worship, which is the basis of everything else:
- “ 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.” {Revelation 14:7}
Who is this almighty God, the highest authority, Creator, and Source of everything? A Trinity?
- “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. “ {Exodus 20:11}
- ”The great Creator assembled the heavenly host, that he might in the presence of all the angels confer special honour upon his Son.” {Ellen White: 1SP, p. 17. 1870}
- “But to us there is but one God, the Father, OF Whom are ALL things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, BY Whom are all things, and we by him.“ {1 Corinthians 8:6}
- “It is God (the Father), the only true and living God, to Whom our worship and reverence are due.[..] the greatest and most learned men of the age, who know not God, nor Jesus Christ Whom he has sent. The Father and the Son alone are to be exalted.” {Ellen White: YI, July 7, 1898 par. 2}
- ”Jehovah, the eternal, self-existent, uncreated One, Himself the SOURCE and Sustainer of ALL, is ALONE entitled to supreme reverence and worship.” {Ellen White: PP, 305} {7ABC 439.2}
- “Jehovah (the Father) is the only true God, and He is to be reverenced and worshiped.”{Ellen White: 6T, p. 166, 1901}
- “The GREAT Jehovah has proclaimed from His throne, “This is My beloved Son.” {Ellen White: DA, p. 579}
God the Father is the God to Whom the first angelic message points to! Not the false Trinity! The whole Bible and the Spirit of Prophecy never state that the One God is a Trinity, but the Creator and Source of all things. If we were already praying to the true God, we would not need an angel’s message to worship Him alone! The whole Christian world also worships the false god of the Trinity, and this is why the whole world is called to come to the truth. This call of the first angel is primarily addressed to us.
Revelation 14 describes the 144,000 virgins, who did not get drunk on the fornication of Babylon. When God speaks of fornication, it has to do with serving other “gods” instead of the true God. God wants us to be virgins who have only one God, the Father, who in eternity will be “God, all in all” (1 Corinthians 15:28), and one man Jesus Christ (Hosea 2:16), with Whom we will be married (Revelation 19:7). God gives the last admonition to His people to worship the living and only true God, and to allow God to cleanse our mind with His Spirit from the pagan Trinity.
- “Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up. After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight. Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth. O Ephraim, what shall I do unto thee? O Judah, what shall I do unto thee? for your goodness is as a morning cloud, and as the early dew it goeth away. Therefore have I hewed them by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of my mouth: and thy judgments are as the light that goeth forth. For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings. But they like men have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against me. Gilead is a city of them that work iniquity, and is polluted with blood. And as troops of robbers wait for a man, so the company of priests murder in the way by consent: for they commit lewdness. I have seen an horrible thing in the house of Israel: there is the whoredom of Ephraim, Israel is defiled”. {Hosea 6:3-10}
Here we see that the latter rain, the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, is connected with the knowledge of God, and that knowledge of God is gradual but sure, just like the dawn of the day! Part 3 of the verse: because His going out is arranged like dawn = knowing God is gradual! Just as the day does not dawn at once, but there is that period of the day when the light of day comes gradually, so our knowledge of God does not come all at once, but gradually. Strong light after darkness would blind the eyes. In the same way, the light of the truth that reaches the mind can create spiritual blindness if it is done too fast. This helps us understand how people can be so blind that they cannot see the completely simple and clear truths of God’s Word. Here we also read the promise of three days, identical with Jesus’ days of His sacrifice on Earth. By this, God wants to emphasise again that the last virgins will acquire, by the power of God, the same sinlessness that Jesus had during His whole life on Earth.
Persecution of “Heresy” and the Duration of the Announced Apostasy
- “One thing it is certain is soon to be realised,—the GREAT apostasy, which is developing and increasing and waxing stronger, and will continue to do so until the Lord shall descend from heaven with a shout.” {Ellen White: Testimonies, Series B, No.7, S. 57 & NYI February 7, 1906, par. 1}
- “But the Lord will raise up men of keen perception, who will give these truths their proper place in the plan of God.”! {Ellen White: SpTB02 51.2}
Nowadays, those who warn that this belief has no basis in Scripture are sanctioned for “new heresy“, because they refuse to accept that God is a Trinity! Heresy is actually teaching what has no basis in the Bible nor in the Spirit of Prophecy! Here, the official theology of the Trinity, which was included in our teaching in 1931, is taken as the correct belief and placed above the Bible and the Spirit of Prophecy!
Why above? Because after presenting such strong arguments of the truth, it is stated that it is irrelevant because this new belief has already been accepted as our official belief. That is not the principle and teaching on which our church is based! What did Adventists believe before 1931?
According to that view, the absolute majority of pioneering Adventists, together with Ellen White, should be expelled today for heresy! According to the fulfilled words of the Spirit of Prophecy, history is completely repeated, just as the fallen bearers of truth, the Jews, persecuted the Apostle Paul for “heresy”:
- “For we have found this man a pestilent fellow, and a mover of sedition among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes“ {Acts 24:5}
- “I am charged to tell our people, that some do not realise, that the devil has device after device, and he carries them out in ways that they do not expect. Satan’s agencies will invent ways to make sinners out of saints. I tell you now, that when I am laid to rest, great changes will take place. I do not know when I shall be taken; and I desire to warn all against the devices of the devil. I want the people to know that I warned them fully before my death.” {Ellen White: Manuscript 1, Feb 24, 1915}
Since Ellen White announced that this apostasy would happen soon after her death (many Adventists today see the Omega as something “in the future”) and that it would cover almost the entire church, it is completely impossible to interpret otherwise. The truth is that this decides whether we keep the first commandment or not! It is the Trinity that prevents the latter rain and delays the coming of Jesus, because it directly rejects Jesus’ sacrifice and death for us!
- “Thou shalt have no other gods before ME.“ {Exodus 20:3}
- “One thing it is certain is soon to be realised,—the great apostasy, which is developing and increasing and waxing stronger, and will continue to do so until the Lord shall descend from heaven with a shout.” {Ellen White: Testimonies, Series B, No.7, S. 57 & NYI February 7, 1906, par. 1}
These words tell us that the Omega apostasy will grow stronger until the coming of Jesus. Strength and expansion come with the majority, because the opposition, due to its small number, does not achieve that same strength and power.
Becoming stronger means that the majority will defend their “truth” more and more firmly. Sadly, many have begun the literal persecution of those who, even if they were wrong, preach only the old Adventist teachings and no new heresies.
They are threatened by the police and the court, and are expelled if they come to church. Below we can read a threatening letter from the president of an union, addressed to six believers who hold the faith of the Adventist pioneers:
- “….In order to maintain our tranquility and peace I am sending you this directive not to come to any of the Seventh-day Adventist Churches or their meetings in the Michigan Conference of Seventh-day Adventists. We have a legal right to expect you to comply with this directive. We have no desire to be adversarial. But the reported behavior, as noted above, compels me to issue this instruction. Just so I am not misunderstood let me say it again. Do not attend our churches or their meetings or gatherings. This is not a request. It is a directive backed up by the fundamental rights as American citizens to enjoy the liberties of our nation.“ {J.G., President of the Michigan Conference: Letter to B. A, S. F., S. C, R. and M. J. and C. M. on March 7, 2016}
What does the Spirit of Prophecy say about such actions?
- “To lean upon the arm of the law is a disgrace to Christians; yet this evil has been brought in and cherished among the Lord’s chosen people. Worldly principles have been stealthily introduced, until in practice many of our workers are becoming like the Laodiceans–half-hearted, because so much dependence is placed on lawyers and legal documents and agreements. Such a condition of things is abhorrent to God.–Manuscript 128, 1903.” {Ellen White: 3SM 303.3}
- “The world and unconverted church members are in sympathy. Some when God reproves them for wanting their own way, make the world their confidence, and bring church matters before the world for decision. Then there is collision and strife, and Christ is crucified afresh, and put to open shame. Those church members who appeal to the courts of the world show that they have chosen the world as their judge, and their names are registered in heaven as one with unbelievers.” {Ellen White: Selected Messages Book 3, page 302, paragraph 3}
- “I call upon you in the name of Christ to withdraw the suit that you have begun and never bring another into court. God forbids you thus to dishonor His name. You have had great light and many opportunities, and you cannot afford to unite with worldlings and follow their methods.“ {Ellen White: 3SM 304.1}
- “I have written largely in regard to Christians who believe the truth placing their cases in courts of law to obtain redress. In doing this, they are biting and devouring one another in every sense of the word, “to be consumed one of another.” They cast aside the inspired counsel God has given, and in the face of the message He gives they do the very thing He has told them not to do. Such men may as well stop praying to God, for He will not hear their prayers. They insult Jehovah, and He will leave them to become the subjects of Satan until they shall see their folly and seek the Lord by confession of their sins.” {Ellen White: 3SM 302.2}
- “The first step of apostasy is to get up a creed, telling us what we shall believe. The second is, to make that creed a test of fellowship. The third is to try members by that creed. The fourth to denounce as heretics those who do not believe that creed. And, fifth, to commence persecution against such.“ {J.N. Loughborough, RH, October 8, 1861.}
Ecumenism, Joining Babylon, and “our” New SDA Logo
- ”Instead of leading the world to render obedience to God’s law, the church is uniting more and more closely with the world in transgression. Daily the church is becoming converted to the world.” {Ellen White: 8T, 119}
Immediately after our official acceptance of the Trinity, other churches officially declared that we were no longer considered to be a sect. Was the church asked for consent when a high-ranking preacher from America handed over to Pope John Paul II the blessing of the Adventist church and a gold medallion at a Catholic ecumenical meeting? The GC’s explanation to this preacher’s action was that he had done it on his own. But, did he make a golden gift with engraved symbols of our church by himself? Could he perhaps have announced himself to the Pope as a representative of our church without having the accreditation for it? Did he bear any consequences after that?
No, but during the Pope’s visit to the United States, he was in charge of meeting with Catholic representatives, where, in addition to speeches of the ecumenical type, he called the Pope “your holiness”. According to the Bible and the Spirit of Prophecy, the pope is the representative of the other side! Besides, the title “your holiness” does not belong to mortal man!
The symbol of that ecumenical meeting was the crooked lines. Has the church “adapted” to that? Of course, we did that, and through the depths of the apostasy, we were among the most active churches in propagating the most important ecumenical idea of the World Alliance of Churches with that papal symbol, which was presented through this 1982 document. Only 13 churches wrote that document!
The leadership of the church has signed an ecumenical document, which clearly states that we must not missionary members of other churches! From the back, it can be read that our church was among only 13 of the most important ecumenical signatories who signed together with the pope! Thus, we have gone further than many Protestant churches in America that still reject the papacy! Is it no longer our task to publish the triple angelic message with the call to leave Babylon? Obviously not, because with these ecumenical moves we call for a return to Babylon, as in the time of Moses in Egypt! Does this curved line sign on the title page of this book look similar to our current symbol?
The current logo of our church, with introduced curved lines of ecumenical significance that are only turned 90 °, was replaced by the old one without any vote of the church by the decision of the top of the GC. Was it so urgent that it was not put in front of the church before the change? Through the new sign, three angels with trumpets were removed, and for three lines it is stated that they, as a modern version, also represent three angels with trumpets. Just as the three angels symbolize the spread of truth, the enemy wanted to show through the ecumenical symbol in front of the whole universe that he had returned God’s church on the way to Babylon.
But as with all apostasy, this unbiblical process was not final! Encouraged by the silence of lukewarm faith, in 2015, in the alliance of only the Lutheran and Adventist churches with the Papacy, as part of the deepening of unimaginably deep apostasy, it was agreed that one square in the Vatican is named Luther Square. This symbolism shows the world that the Reformed Church has returned to its true “mother” church after 500 years of wandering and that the Catholic Church has regained control of separate churches after so many years in preparation for the mark of the beast! Another step towards unification: On October 31, 2016, Pope Francis held a meeting with the Lutheran Church in the Swedish city of Lund. What does Jesus say in the Bible about relationships with other recent churches?
- “ And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. 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. “ {Revelation 18,2-4}
What do we do instead? We proudly, officially, and in the highest circle support the opposite side in its preparation of the mark of the beast, just as Judas, by betrayal, wanted to force Jesus to make a kingdom in Israel! We sign, as the true church of God in the last days, to agree that we must no longer be missionaries! We express positive emotions for the sake of cooperation and participation in worship services! Thus, we are choosing the path in the opposite direction, even though God has called us to leave and warn this world and send a loud call to God’s children to leave Babylon, i.e. to bring the triple angelic message to the whole world. According to Revelation, Babylon represents all other churches with non-biblical theology, led by the Papacy. Today, some theologians claim that the papacy is no longer a beast, but Islam! The apostasy that has started is getting deeper and wider, and the believers are becoming more and more blind. When we went the wrong way after Ellen White’s death, it is natural that in the next step we gradually took over the Trinity, just like the former compromise church of 321 Sunday and 325-381 Trinity.
Have we taken that path? Therefore, it is completely clear why instead of the original Great Struggle, the division of which was planned in a million copies, it was prevented by the upper circles, and the expanded book “Great Hope” was printed and expanded instead, from which all truths of the triple angelic news were removed which show that the Pope is the beast of Revelation! This book does not offend ecumenical feelings! The excuse that there were not enough funds for the complete Great Controversy is meaningless because at the same time billions of dollars of our church are invested in long-term savings, as a buried treasure as Jesus himself defined it! It is unfortunate how much we have left our task and buried our talents, and on the other hand, we are experiencing the last days when the truth can be preached freely. Any preaching of the truth and the spread of the Great Controversy will be banned very soon, because Pope Francis has indirectly made it known that such people will be severely persecuted, just as in the Middle Ages:
- ”It’s true that you cannot react violently. But, if Dr. Gasbarri, my great friend, says something against my mother, he can expect a punch. It’s normal. It’s normal. You cannot provoke, you cannot insult the faith of others, you cannot make fun of the faith. [..]in the freedom of expression there are limits.” {Pope Francis: Aboard the papal plane, Jan 15, 2015.}
A Vatican spokesman later added that his words must not be taken as an excuse for terrorist attacks. The Pope explained that we need a world religion, which is the fulfillment of the prophecy of Revelation!
Fulfillment of the prophecy of paganism in the last church. The „SDA“ book “Trinity“
- ”Men are pursuing a similar course to that of the Roman Catholics.” {Ellen White: 9MR, p.179 Letter 53, 1894}
- “I saw the nominal CHURCH and nominal Adventists, like Judas, would betray us to the Catholics to obtain their influence to come against the truth.“ {Ellen White: Spalding Magan Unpublished Testimonies, p. 1}
- “Although it is true that there was a period in the life of the Seventh-day Adventist Church when the denomination took a distinctly anti-Roman Catholic viewpoint, and the term ‘hierarchy’ was used in a pejorative sense to refer to the papal form of church governance, that attitude on the church’s part was nothing more than a manifestation of widespread anti-popery among conservative Protestant denominations in the early part of this (20th) century and the latter part of the last, and which has now been consigned to the historical TRASH heap so far as the Seventh-day Adventist Church is concerned.“ {Neil Wilson: EEOC vs PPPA and GC, Civil Case #74-2025 CBR 1975}
The prophetic announcement of great apostasy and approach to the Catholic Church was fully fulfilled, as we can clearly see in the above statement of Neil Wison, former President of the General Conference and father of Ted Wilson. Today’s “progress” of “understanding” is a return to Babylon and his false teachings! That is why it is no wonder that our church is one of the most active at ecumenical meetings (where the Trinity is being worshiped) organized by the Catholic Church! Through His word, God has sent us an opposite message:
- ” 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. “ {Revelation 18,4}
Adventist book “Trinity”, by Woodrow Whidden, Jerry Moon and John Reeve:
- “As one line of reasoning goes, either the pioneers were wrong and the present church is right, or the pioneers were right and the present Seventh-day Adventist Church has apostatized from biblical truth.“ {Woodrow Whidden, Jerry Moon, John Reeve: The Trinity, p. 190}
This book, which in the meantime is used as a reference for the subject of the same name, does not happen to have a papal pagan-druid symbol on the title page. It is one of the original symbols of the Druid-Celtic Trinity, which became part of the symbols of the Catholic Church! We have thus recognized the papal crown! That symbol in the center of the picture is marked in a light yellow color, as the other side wants to show with derision how deeply it has taken over the blind church. That is why Jesus said in Revelation that we need eye ointment. The old Celtic religion explicitly celebrates demonic “gods” and is among the strongest remaining magical-esoteric cults in all of Europe. Thus, we have gone so far as to worship false “gods”, only to defend the “truth”, and we have reached the same position as ancient Israel, which once worshiped Baal.
At that time, they also claimed that they worshiped Jehovah since they have the Old Testament and the official status of God’s people and that these “gods” are only a “practical illustration”, similar to the worship of a calf at Sinai. For this reason, Jesus Himself says that He (the absolute majority) will spit us out of His mouth. In the above-mentioned book, as with pagan Israel and Dr. Kellogg, the truth is mixed with false teachings. It uses quotations from EGW and coils on its descriptions of her alleged views, which do not appear in any of her writings. The book contains parts of the truth without any analysis, if it serves the desired purpose according to the principle of the crucifixion, “His blood be on us”. That book should, in fact, serve as a shocking warning to us, how far we can go, when the truth is rejected. We have reached a direct take on paganism! How to find pictures of druid symbols where we will see that it is one of the so-called Triquetras a symbol of their pagan Trinity?
To see this fact, we can search for these symbols in Google and insert them as a search: “druid + triquetras pictures” and browse all the images that have the same sign. This book contains an interesting statement by its authors, which should get us thinking. This book contains illustrations with a man, hands raised up towards the sun, which represent the pagan worship of the sun, although this is denied by the fact that it is a picture of prayer and waiting for the coming of Jesus.This form of symbols on the front pages, from charismatic circles, is not a coincidence. Unfortunately, a large number of our current books and editions contain this type of pagan expression.

- “The statements and the arguments of some of our ministers in their effort to prove that the holy Spirit was an individual as are God, the father and Christ, the eternal Son, have perplexed me and sometimes they have made me sad.“ {Letter from (son of EGW) William C. White to H. W. Carr April 30th, 1935}
One of the most important pioneers, J. Andrews, named after the largest Adventist university, described our true faith:
- “The doctrine of THE TRINITY which was established in the church by the council of Nice, A. D. 325. THIS DOCTRINE DESTROYS THE PERSONALITY OF GOD, and his SON JESUS Christ our Lord. The infamous, measures by which it was forced upon the church which appear upon the pages of ecclesiastical history might well cause every believer in that doctrine to BLUSH.“ {J.N. ANDREWS: RH, March 6, 1855}
In 1906, Ellen White confirmed the OLD truth from the above quote, and warned the church:
- “A LIAR is one that presents false theories and doctrines. He who DENIES THE PERSONALITY OF GOD and of His SON JESUSChrist is denying God and Christ. “If that which ye have heard from the BEGINNING shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son and in the Father.” If you continue to believe and obey the truths you FIRST EMBRACED regarding the personality of the Father and the Son, you will be joined together with them in love. There will be seen that union for which Christ prayed just before His trial and crucifixion.” {Ellen White: Ms 23, 8. February 1906}
- “I assured them that the message she bears today is the same that she has borne during the sixty years of her public ministry..” {Ellen White: RH, July 26, 1906 par. 20}
The “Adventist” Trinity?
Is the claim that the “Adventist” Trinity does not represent a Catholic blinded God, i.e. the form of the Trinity of other churches, and that “the only Adventist Trinity is correct” because it “doesn’t” contain the doctrine of the Triune God but only the belief in the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit is true? This statement contradicts the facts: Point 2 of the Adventist Church’s Creed, entitled “Trinity,” contains the same faith in the ONE Triune Blind God as in other churches:
- “There is ONE GOD: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, the union of three persons of the same eternity. GOD is immortal, omnipotent, omniscient, present above all and everywhere. HE is infinite and transcends the power of human comprehension, yet known through SELF-discovery. HE is eternally worthy that all creatures respect, worship and serve HIM.”
The terms “ONE” and “TRINITY” have an identical meaning after a deeper analysis, because both terms describe the same ONE fused God of the Trinity in which the false God the Holy Spirit is! In the Bible and EGW texts, the expression “ONE i.e. THE ONLY God “means ALWAYS God the Father and NOWHERE one glued triune” God “:
- “Let the missionaries of the cross proclaim that there is ONE God, and ONE Mediator between God and man, who is Jesus Christ the Son of the Infinite God. This needs to be proclaimed throughout every church in our land. Christians need to know this, and not put man where God should be, that they may no longer be worshipers of idols, but of the living God. Idolatry exists in our churches.” {Ellen White: 1888 Materials, p. 886, 1891}
- “They shall have an experimental knowledge of the only true God and of Jesus Christ Whom He hath sent.” {Ellen White: SW, Oct. 25,1898}
- “And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, Whom thou hast sent.” {John 17,3}
In addition to the “argument” about the diversity of the name “ONE GOD” (which includes three Beings) in the Adventist Church, as opposed to the name “TRIUNE GOD” in many other churches, there are also Adventist Church beliefs 3, 4 and 5 where the Father, The Son, and the Holy Spirit are explicitly described as special Beings. But the fallen churches also have beliefs in the three Beings, regardless of whether or not it is on their list of beliefs because that goes without saying.
The point of everything is not only the question of the description (by Adventist theologians) of the belief in the three Divine Beings but the teaching that They are PART of that ONE, i.e. of the triune God. Also, the “arguments” about the “duality of nature” (used in the “interpretation” of biblical verses and quotes from Ellen White, which clearly show that the Trinity is not true) are completely meaningless, because one excludes the other!
While the Catholic form of the Trinity is “THREE Gods OF ONE God”, the “Adventist” form teaches “ONE God OF THREE Gods“. Nevertheless, both forms carry the same meaning, as they teach that the ONE GOD is a TRINITY, not God the Father as stated in the Bible and the Spirit of Prophecy. On the other hand, the Catholic claim that Jesus is born again every day does not touch on the question of the Trinity at all!
What Happened to the GC Leaders and Their Spiritual Condition Did They Abuse Leadership in God’s Church? Can we and should we say something?
Neal Wilson, long-time president of the General Assembly (1979-1990), made the following statement on behalf of our church in the context of omega apostasy before the American state institution:
- “Although it is true that there was a period in the life of the Seventh-day Adventist Church when the denomination took a distinctly anti-Roman Catholic viewpoint, and the term ‘hierarchy’ was used in a pejorative sense to refer to the papal form of church governance, that attitude on the church’s part was nothing more than a manifestation of widespread anti-popery among conservative Protestant denominations in the early part of this (20th) century and the latter part of the last, and which has now been consigned to the historical trash heap so far as the Seventh-day Adventist Church is concerned.“ {Neil Wilson: EEOC vs PPPA and GC, Civil Case #74-2025 CBR 1975}
Did what he said in 1975 have any consequences in the church or in GC? No, on the contrary, after that he became the long-term president of the GC of our church! Most are not even aware of these facts. But this helps us understand in what context his following statement on behalf of the 1985 General Conference should be understood:
- ”But our work is not to denounce the Roman Catholic church.” {Neil Wilson: Pacific Union Recorder 18.02.1985 S.4}
- “There is another universal and truly catholic organisation, the Seventh-day Adventist Church.“ {Neil C. Wilson, General Conference President of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, in Adventist Review, March 5, 1981, p 3}
Ellen White warned in which direction the General Conference would go, to the Catholic Church:
- ”Men are pursuing a similar course to that of the Roman Catholics.” {Ellen White: 9MR, p.179, Letter 53, 1894}
- “I saw the nominal CHURCH and nominal Adventists, like Judas, would betray us to the Catholics to obtain their influence to come against the truth.“ {Ellen White: Spalding Magan Unpublished Testimonies, p. 1}
How did this come true? By accepting, according to the Catechism, the main doctrine of the Catholic Church – the Trinity, and since 1980 with the Catholic point that this one God means Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Is it perhaps the “deeper understanding of truth” that the Spirit of Prophecy has announced to us? Certainly not. This is the fulfillment of the prophecy of our fall and thus the departure back to the Catholic Church. Let’s make a comparison now:
Old belief:
- “They have one God (the Father) and one Saviour; and one Spirit– the Spirit of Christ” {Ellen White: 9T, p. 189, 1905}
New belief:
Note that it is stated here that this one God consists in the sum of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
The Bible, on the other hand, says something completely different, namely that the title “ONE” God always means only and exclusively God the Father, and the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Jesus and not the third Divine Being:
- ”There is one God: Father, Son, and holy Spirit, a unity of three coeternal Persons. God is immortal, all-powerful, all-knowing, above all, and ever present. He is infinite and beyond human comprehension, yet known through His self-revelation. God, who is love, is forever worthy of worship, adoration, and service by the whole creation.” {Point 2 of 28}
Recent belief:
- “God the eternal Spirit was active with the Father and the Son in Creation, incarnation, and redemption. He is as much a person as are the Father and the Son. He inspired the writers of Scripture. He filled Christ’s life with power. He draws and convicts human Beings; and those who respond He renews and transforms into the image of God. Sent by the Father and the Son to be always with His children, He extends spiritual gifts to the church, empowers it to bear witness to Christ, and in harmony with the Scriptures leads it into all truth.“ {SDA: Point 5 on the list of beliefs}
Catholic belief:
- “The mystery of the Most holy Trinity is the central mystery of the Christian faith and of Christian life. God alone can make it known to us by revealing himself AS Father, Son and holy Spirit.“ {Vatican Catechism 261}
- “And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.“ {Revelation 17,5}
Whose doctrine is now officially present in the church? Absolutely Catholic!
- “I am charged to tell our people, that some do not realize, that the devil has device after device, and he carries them out in ways that they do not expect. Satan’s agencies will invent ways to make sinners out of saints. I tell you now, that when I am laid to rest, great changes will take place. I do not know when I shall be taken; and I desire to warn all against the devices of the devil. I want the people to know that I warned them fully before my death.” {Ellen White: Manuscript 1, 24. February 1915}
It is not a 100-page manuscript book, Published Manuscript, Volume 1, but Manuscript No. 1, just one manuscript, which was not published until August 2015, but was available for inspection at centers such as Newbold or Andrews.
- “Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith the LORD.“ {Jeremiah 23,1}
What did Jesus say to the Pharisees of that time, who rejected all the arguments of the Truth regardless of their depth?
- “Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.“ {John 9,41}
This is the same sin that today’s Pharisees repeat, not wanting to accept Jesus as the literal Son of God, although this is clearly stated in countless places in Scripture. Despite the strongest evidence of truth, they remain in their position and teaching, which indirectly rejects Jesus’ sacrifice.Overwhelmed with so much clear evidence, proponents of the Trinity, instead of conversion, are still looking for different ways and possibilities, as well as Evolutionists, how to push through their favorite concept. The truth about the literal heavenly birth of Jesus Christ before His coming to this earth as the Messiah is supported by Scripture in many places, which reinforces the warning not to play the blind.
In the 1985 live TV show Baptist John Akenberg, Walter Martin (author of “The truth about Seventh-day Adventism”), a journalist from evangelical circles, clearly proved the true history of the Adventist church and beliefs. This was in an interview with Dr. William Johnsson, who was one of the most important theologians in the General Conference and editor-in-chief of “Adventist Review”. Walter Martin knew history better than most Adventists and Dr. Johnsson, given the infallible evidence he gave. A summary of his words:
- “Adventists introduced the Trinity much later after the death of Ellen White. In the last phase of her life and a few years later, the Trinity was not part of the Adventist faith, nor was there such teaching. Ellen White had a particularly strong Arian attitude until her death, which is why many of her quotations were removed from the church, which interfered with new teachings on the Trinity.”
Pressed by this evidence, Dr. William Johnsson had to admit in his defense that “if this is really true, then she was unfortunately not a prophet ‘at that stage’ “, instead of humbly saying that she would re-examine the whole area and all the words of EGW, and then decide what is really true. This is called the deeper development in blasphemy. On the other hand, several years later, in 1994, he made an opposite statement that we had not studied the Trinity before. By accident?
- “Some Adventists today think, that our beliefs have remained unchanged over the years, or they seek to turn back the clock to some point when we had everything just right. But all attempts to recover such “historic Adventism” fail in view of the facts of our heritage.[..] Adventists beliefs have changed over the years under the impact of present truth. Most startling is the teaching regarding Jesus Christ, our Saviour and Lord. … the Trinitarian understanding of God, now part of our fundamental beliefs, was not generally held by the early Adventists.“ {W. J., Adventist Review January 6th, 1994 Article ‘Present Truth – Walking in God’s Light’, 1994}
This distorted view of the Bible in every way shows the senseless pride of the Pharisees against Jesus because it is easier to look for more and more meaningless arguments than to accept the truth on one’s knees. The prophet Jeremiah describes such behavior and shows that even the believers of that time who accepted the false God were proud to be in the true church and to worship the “true God” in it, because they have the right law and scripts, even though they were guided by theologians. that apostasy.
But God announces here that the sages, as leaders of the apostasy, will receive a special punishment both on earth and in heaven. This literally, as with the prophet Ezekiel who saw through a hole in the wall of the temple that leaders worship pagan “gods”, refers to our church and the state of Laodicea, and it was fulfilled to the last letter! That is why Jesus calls us in Revelation to cleanse the blinded eyes because led by the masses and false theology, we cannot even think that such a thing could be fulfilled in the true church!
- “Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other gods Whom ye know not; And come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered to do all these abominations?“ {Jeremiah 7,9-10}
- “How do ye say, We are wise, and the law of the LORD is with us? Lo, certainly in vain made he it; the pen of the scribes is in vain.“ {Jeremiah 8,8}
- “… from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely.“ {Jeremiah 8,10}
- “Trust ye not in lying words, saying, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, are these.“ {Jeremiah 7,4}
- “Yet they hearkened not unto me, nor inclined their ear, but hardened their neck: they did worse than their fathers.“ {Jeremiah 7,26}
- “The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken: lo, they have rejected the word of the LORD; and what wisdom is in them?” {Jeremiah 8,9}
- “Youth who are not established, rooted and grounded in the truth, WILL BE corrupted and drawn away by the blind leaders of the blind; and the ungodly, the despisers that wonder and perish, who despise the sovereignty of the Ancient of Days and place on the throne a false god, a being of their own defining, a being altogether such an one as themselves,—these will be agents in Satan’s hands to corrupt the faith of the unwary.” {Ellen White: 1888 Materials, p. 484.3 1889}
- “Study the ninth chapter of Ezekiel. These words WILL be literally fulfilled;” {Ellen White: Letter 106, 1909}
- “And to the others he said in mine hearing, Go ye after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity: Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon Whom is the mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men which were before the house.” {Ezekiel 9,5.6}
Some argue that this does not apply to our preachers, as Ellen White makes it clear that we unite with Satan when we accuse God’s preachers. But at the same time, she writes in the continuation of the same statement, that we must fight against apostasy regardless of the level of hierarchy:
- ”Parents were bitterly reproaching their children, and children their parents, brothers their sisters, and sisters their brothers. Loud, wailing cries were heard in every direction, “It was you who kept me from receiving the truth which would have saved me from this awful hour.” The people turned upon their ministers with bitter hate and reproached them, saying, “You have not warned us. You told us that all the world was to be converted, and cried, Peace, peace, to quiet every fear that was aroused. You have not told us of this hour; and those who warned us of it you declared to be fanatics and evil men, who would ruin us.” But I saw that the ministers did not escape the wrath of God. Their suffering was TENFOLD greater than that of their people.” {Ellen White: EW, p. 282}
- “But all unite in heaping their bitterest condemnation upon the ministers. Unfaithful pastors have prophesied smooth things; they have led their hearers to make void the law of God (the first commandment) and to persecute those who would keep it holy. Now, in their despair, these teachers confess before the world their work of deception. The multitudes are filled with fury. “We are lost!” they cry, “and you are the cause of our ruin;” and they turn upon the false shepherds. The very ones that once admired them most will pronounce the most dreadful curses upon them. The very hands that once crowned them with laurels will be raised for their destruction. The swords which were to slay God’s people are now employed to destroy their enemies.“ {Ellen White: GC, p. 655 – 1911}
- “The Lord Jesus will always have a chosen people to serve Him. When the Jewish people rejected Christ, the Prince of life, He took from them the kingdom of God and gave it unto the Gentiles. God will continue to work on this principle with every branch of His work. When a church proves unfaithful to the word of the Lord, whatever their position may be, however high and sacred their calling, the Lord can no longer work with them. Others are then chosen to bear important responsibilities.“ {Ellen White: 14Ms 102, UL 131}
- “These men were constantly saying, “God is with us. We stand in the light. We have the truth.” I inquired who these men were, and was told that they were ministers and leading men who had rejected the light themselves, and were unwilling that others should receive it.“ {Ellen White: EW, p. 240.2}
- “Here we see that the church—the Lord’s sanctuary—was the first to feel the stroke of the wrath of God (Ezekiel 9,6). The ancient men, those to Whom God had given great light and who had stood as guardians of the spiritual interests of the people, had betrayed their trust.“ {Ellen White: 5T, p. 211, 1882}
- ”And when men standing in the position of leaders and teachers work under the power of spiritualistic ideas and sophistries, shall we keep silent, for fear of injuring their influence, while souls are being beguiled?” {Ellen White: ChL, p. 62.1}
- “Church members, who have seen the light and been convicted, but who have trusted the salvation of their souls to the minister, will learn in the day of God that no other soul can pay the ransom for their transgression. A terrible cry will be raised, “I am lost, eternally lost.” Men will feel as though they could rend in pieces the ministers who have preached falsehoods and condemned the truth.“ {Ellen White: 4BC,p. 1157, 1900)
Why did only some believers rise up to fight for the truth? Because that’s exactly what God announced:
- “But the Lord will raise up men of keen perception, who will give these truths their proper place in the plan of God.”! {Ellen White: SpTB02 51.2}
And Noah was once only one person, but his voice was heard far away. Do we really think that there was no official church then, of course in so much apostasy, that only one family was saved? Is it possible for us to imagine that we are better than the former fallen generations? A member of Laodicea says just that, with the words “I am rich“.
A Changed organisation of the General Conference. GC authority and Ellen White
- “The fact that a man has been selected to be the president of a conference does not mean that he shall have authority to rule over his fellow workmen. This is after the practice of Rome, and it cannot be tolerated, for it restricts religious liberty, and the man is led to place himself where God alone should be.“ {Ellen White: 9MR, p. 178.2}
- “They (GC) are following in the track of Romanism.“ {Ellen White: TM, p. 362.2}
- “Apostasy has come in to our ranks as it came in to Heaven, and all who unite with Satan in this kind of work will act on the same principles Satan has worked. Not open, not frank, but in secrecy.“ {Ellen White: 7MR, p 178 (Letter 156, 1897) }
- “In following a course of this kind, men are pursuing a similar course to that of the Roman Catholics who center in the pope every power of the church, and ascribe to him authority to act as God, so that those below him in station lay every plan at his feet that he may prescribe the rules for men and women in every minutiae of life. In following a course of this kind, there is danger that no chance will be left for God to answer the prayers of His delegated servants according to His promise in giving them wisdom in pursuing their work. God does not purpose to have one man prescribe how his fellow workmen shall perform His work. When this manner of action comes in among our people, there is need of a protest.“ {Ellen White: 9MR, p.179.3}
According to Ellen White, the function of one president of the GC is directly against God’s will. It doesn’t matter what arguments are used, such as: ‘acting on behalf of the church or coordination’. According to that view, it was necessary in her time as well, or among the Jews who, during the time of Samuel, demanded to have someone who would act as a king in the name of the entire nation. Secondly, in the meantime, there is no direct decision-making of the church. According to the same principle, the church is invited to vote on the changes, where the majority of members have been present for many years, and our minds are used to them. It is pure manipulation, and it falls under the change of organisation.
Why is there an urgent need for change that the church can only ask about after the change is made? Replacing the decades-old symbol has nothing to do with urgency and shows a deeper degree of our apostasy. Has anyone been asked if Jesuit professors are allowed to be visiting assistant professors at our theological universities?mRevelation makes it very clear that all who want salvation must leave Babylon. These descriptions are just the opposite direction, a return to Babylon and the beast that gives its mark! The GC has risen above the church just like the politicians of this world, where elections serve only to blind so that we feel as if we are influencing a decision.
Whether the church was asked whether it agrees with joining local ecumenical associations or the world union of churches, or through gradual getting used to after that preliminary decision, work is being done to reach a ‘break-even point’. a critical mass of believers who will later agree with the change already made? Today, by high circles, believers are presented that some accompanying apostasy is exactly the announced omega apostasy and change of organisation. But a change of organisation means it will affect the majority, not small groups on the sidelines, who themselves reject the organisation. Arguments are made to the believers that the last church founded by God is rejected when one takes the view that the majority has been affected by apostasy. In the Old Testament, apostasy was carried by the absolute majority. During the time of the prophet Elijah, only 7,000 people remained in Israel who did not fall away from God, even though they were insignificantly small compared to the majority of several million. Yet Israel still had the status of God’s people at that time.
Today’s defense of apostasy is based on the argument that GK, according to Ellen White, was God’s voice, and that we reject God’s commandments when we speak out against GK’s decisions. God’s prophet, of course, confirmed that the authority of God’s church and GC must not be rejected when it is accompanied by the true truth:
- ”At times, when a small group of men entrusted with the general management of the work have, in the name of the General Conference, sought to carry out unwise plans and to restrict God’s work, I have said that I could no longer regard the voice of the General Conference, represented by these few men, as the voice of God. But this is not saying that the decisions of a General Conference composed of an assembly of duly appointed, representative men from all parts of the field should not be respected. God has ordained that the representatives of His church from all parts of the earth, when assembled in a General Conference, shall have authority. The error that some are in danger of committing is in giving to the mind and judgment of one man, or of a small group of men, the full measure of authority and influence that God has vested in His church in the judgment and voice of the General Conference assembled to plan for the prosperity and advancement of His work.” {Ellen White: 9T 260.2}
- ”But when, in a General Conference, the judgment of the brethren assembled from all parts of the field is exercised, private independence and private judgment must not be stubbornly maintained, but surrendered. Never should a laborer regard as a virtue the persistent maintenance of his position of independence, contrary to the decision of the general body.” {Ellen White: 9T, p. 260,1909}
- ”God has invested His church with special authority and power which no one can be justified in disregarding and despising, for he who does this despises the voice of God.” {Ellen White: AA p. 163.2, 1911}
Do we really believe that today, when we have fallen away from so many points of truth, the decision of the GC is a guarantee that it is the right teaching? According to Ellen White certainly not! If in the context of Omega apostasy the majority accepted the false teachings, that majority will certainly not vote for the truth as in the time of the pioneers. That is why this previous statement, that we are obliged to respect the decisions of the GC, can have such a meaning only when the majority in the church remained faithful to the truth, and as such led to a correct decision when voting at the GC.Another way of interpreting this statement would mean that the rabbis also made the decision of the “voice of God”, when they decided to crucify Jesus on the cross, and rejected the truth that He is the Messiah. For this reason, Ellen White stated that she hopes we will not have to leave Babylon again.
- “But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.“ {Galatians 1,8}
The Apostle Paul says that even a heavenly angel is cursed if he announces a different message than the already present and known truth! But to today’s theologians, GC is obviously infallible and in a higher truth and position than the angels who are in the immediate vicinity of God! Why did Ellen White write that GK would become like Rome? Precisely because, like Rome, he claims to be the infallible voice of God as he persecutes all “heretics” who call for the old truth before apostasy.
The biggest paradox is that the fighters against the doctrine of the Trinity are called the bearers of the “new” apostasy, while they loudly call on the church to return to the old truth that we held until 1931! Within this area, there are arguments that the GC represents the New Testament manifestation of God’s voice, just as in the Old Testament there were stones on the priest’s chest, through which God sent light, confirming the right decisions.
That is, of course, correct, but only when the Old Testament priests or the GC made decisions following the truth. Was the voice of the priests of the Old Testament always the voice of God, because they carried those stones on their chests? Certainly not, because we know that the fall of the Jews was complete even before Jesus’ mission on earth. Did Ellen White confirm that GK in its entirety was not always the voice of God, even when the truth was rejected?
- “Yet we hear that the voice of the Conference is the VOICE of God. Every time I have heard this, I have thought that it was almost BLASPHEMY. The voice of the Conference ought to be the voice of God, but it IS NOT…“ {Ellen White, 16LtMs, Ms 37, 1901, par.18}
- ”..it has been some years since I have considered the General Conference as the voice of God” {Ellen White: 17MR 216, 1898}
- “That these men (leaders) should stand in a sacred place, to be as the voice of God to the people, as we once believed the General Conference to be,—i.e. past.“ {Ellen White: GCB 1901 p. 25 {PC422}}
- “And the General Conference is itself becoming corrupted with wrong sentiments and principles.“ {Ellen White: TM, p. 359.1}
Even such clear statements are distorted, as proof that Ellen White still participated in a GK gathering a few years later. This actually shows harmony with the previous quotes, where GC is worthy to be God’s voice if he tells the truth. Ellen White’s presence at the gathering does not necessarily imply God’s approval. With today’s fallen majority of faith and leadership, i.e. no longer possible. That is why Jesus stated that when the Son of Man comes, will he even find someone faithful because there will be almost none on earth! Ellen White’s statement about organizing and accepting apostasy with trampled truth was completely fulfilled.
While very liberal views are advocated from the pulpits, simple justification by faith is neglected and the Trojan Angel’s message is not preached, there is no protest. On the other hand, he protests against believers who call on their brothers and sisters to the old truth. Leading authorities from the GK circle travel all over the world, full of “worries” to “protect and save the church”. Dear brothers and sisters, let us wake up and not look at the fall of the GC as Catholics in Rome, because we will be seduced and lose eternal life! May God give us the strength to stand firmly on His side!
The form and type of apostasy. NLP hypnosis in SDA preachings. Drums in music and EGW
Today’s apostasy, even compared to 30 years ago, unfortunately, records a much more negative situation. A professor from Loma Linde could have invited Adventists and citizens to vote in a referendum on homosexual marriages on television, to “show love and tolerance”. Haven’t we shown it so far?
Did Abraham show love through the “peace-ecumenical confession of Sodom and Gomorrah“? Are we showing this at Andrews University, where we “show love” through a homosexual bureau, so that active members of that group can “later recognise” the truth?
In a document from Andrews University, published in October 2015, we can see the indirect but open acceptance of homosexuality!
- “Some have been expelled from our Christian schools when they revealed their attraction to the same sex. Most, if not all, have heard sermons that condemn homosexuals as persons, failing to distinguish between homosexual attraction or orientation and the practice of homosexuality. All persons, including practicing homosexuals, should be made to feel welcome to attend our churches while non-practicing gay persons should be welcomed into membership and church office. All should receive spiritual care from the Church.” {Andrews University: 9. October 2015.}
Jesus condemned this way of thinking and the state of the human heart. He made it clear to us that sin is sin, even when we think or desire:
- “But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.” {Matthew 5,28}
Do we have homosexuals in positions of responsibility? In America, we have homosexual ministers in the church, living together as couples with the “explanation” that God gave us love, so that they “although homosexual, avoid only the literal act“, but still consider themselves and live as a couple, “because it is their genetic weakness! ” In Germany, the president of the northern union also openly sent an invitation for declared homosexuals to get official functions in the church! According to the Bible, this sin is described in special depth, because it is the only sin where people openly declare themselves without shame and force others to accept that sin, while people with other weaknesses are ashamed of their sins and do not declare the names of their sins! Because of that sin, God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah!
Of course, God calls homosexuals as well as all other sinners, and if you accept that call, they reject such an immoral life by God’s power of rebirth and turn to His side, as do people with all other weaknesses of sin. In the sermon of prof. Dr. Walter Weith on the Northern and Southern Emperors from the book of the Prophet Daniel shows pictures of Andrews students going to the mosque to pray to Allah in a spirit of tolerance because they believe in “the same God as us” and “do not need conversion”. There are suras in the Qur’an that openly condemn and curse anyone who thinks that Jesus is God, and at the same time raise the mortal mother Mary as Catholics to supernatural heights. We are ridiculed as literalists because we take the words of the Bible and the Spirit of Prophecy “literally.” Jesus says quite clearly: “so it is written“!
Within this philosophy, it is permissible to reject the truth that Ellen White is a prophet, they declare her only a gifted writer, and evolution is taught in many Adventist universities. When prof. Veith at one of our theological faculties in Europe presented the futility of evolution, most of the students left the hall irritated! So it is no wonder that in the next step Omega falls away, the rejection of the Spirit of Prophecy is becoming more widespread. In contrast, according to Revelation 12:17; 14:12, and 19:10, the last generation of God’s people just before the coming of Jesus clearly have the Spirit of Prophecy as one of their basic characteristics. The principle of one apostasy is its constant and exponential spread, as the conteaching becomes increasingly dull. Therefore, the next step is to view the Bible only as a symbol, which allegedly contains “only scattered prophetic fragments”, so that the symbols are attributed to everything that does not support this false teaching.
This attitude is increasingly present among leading theologians, as they are no longer able to argue their views differently because God sent a warning with clear biblical truths and even stronger evidence of its credibility. Rejection grows into utter blasphemy, until it reaches a definite boiling point, as in the case of the Pharisees who crucified Jesus. LGBT lobbies and ecumenists in our ranks, some leading theologians or evolutionary professors of our universities reject the figure of 6 days or 6000 years or a clear definition in Revelation or that the last people worship the Creator and have the testimony of Jesus, the Spirit of Prophecy and even the Sabbath. They define the Bible as a book with fragments of God’s word fused into historical records.
They are allowed to spread their agenda, while no one from the General Conference goes to give a sermon on love, moral principles, and truth. Why has the number of young preachers, especially in the West, preaching the triple angelic message become almost negligible? In the meantime, new preachers are being educated at most universities that they “don’t have to do it”, and in some places, they receive sanctions and even dismissal because they “spread the message of hatred“.
The completely polarised church emerged with an absolute majority without biblical truth and trampled the first commandment, as we see in the world the characteristics of modern Babylon were highly elevated. While the bearers of truth were moved by God to fight for the right side, the bearers of delusion stood up in vigorous defence of their point of view. In many churches in the West, the apostasy has become completely open, and in some areas, many preachers who preach the imminent coming and going of Babylon are expelled.
In America, they are fired as “surplus labor.” Another sign of the latest apostasy is the introduction of female preachers. After the fall into sin, God clearly defined the place of Eve within the memory of the fall into sin, and the New Testament confirmed that with a symbolic formulation that women are silent in the church and that the bishop of one woman is the husband, which today’s theology of many leaders turns to previous cultural aspects. The Bible is twisted where the examples of female prophets in the Old and New Testaments are taken as proof that women can be preachers! The Bible defines who should be the head of the family and the church. James White was the head of his wife Ellen White both privately and in church. Women should indeed enrich it with their active participation in family and church life, and even speak from the pulpit. It must be emphasised that Ellen White and the women prophets of the Old and New Testaments never held the office of ordained priests in the church, even though God chose them to be the pen of the Spirit of Prophecy!
New feminism and homosexuality around the world are showing the more and more open and faster establishment of the complete satanic rule on earth before the imminent coming of the Saviour! We read in the Bible that God did not reject Israel even during the time of Baal when only 7,000 faithful of a few million remained, but still the tribe of Judah, as the line of Jesus, distanced themselves from keeping the truth. When God officially rejected the Jewish priests, it was only when they crucified Jesus, and the people themselves, only when they stoned Stephen. Like today’s false Trinity, the sign of our church has been changed, skillfully concealed by an inverted cross and twisted crooked lines of papal ecumenism, created at a meeting with John Paul II. Then, a representative of our church was internally elected from the General Conference, who took the blessings of our church to the Pope with a gold medal, with the official promise to stop publishing the triple angelic news, reject the image of three angels with trumpets and accept ecumenism.
Jesuit-Masonic infiltrated Adventist universities, unions, and the General Conference do not bring about a complete decline, but a complete ban on preaching the triple angelic message and rejecting the truth on a global scale. Ellen White called such people agents of Satan, and even in her time many of them were present in the leadership of the church. Many of our young preachers, especially in the West, are educated without complete truth or are sent real agents of Satan like wolves in lambskin to introduce false doctrines! Today, theological education has become so deformed and has grown into a race for high titles, so that we would find recognition and respect for the world as well as the church, so that the germ of self-exaltation produced a great deepening of Omega apostasy. Today, Adventist theologians study and proudly promote at world theological universities.
In return, they are asking our universities, in the name of accreditation, for theological compromises that are currently being fulfilled. Not only that: today, it is an advantage for a higher position in our institutions if theology is completed at a non-Adventist university! This phenomenon, in addition to the loss of faith and true truth, leads to great philosophy and countless books in our bookstores, while the books of the Spirit of Prophecy, announced in Revelation, are not printed because “finances and resources” do not allow it.
Ellen White also announced this as one of the most important signs of Omega apostasy just before the end! If we remember the position of truth in the past, remaining on its side in the whole of history has never brought recognition from outside, but persecution and/or ridicule. The indicated part of the world should open our eyes to how far we have strayed from the truth! In these last moments of earth’s history, God is raising up Adventists everywhere who have begun to recognise and return to the true and complete truth, so that the literal number of 144.000 is becoming more and more complete and ready. The explosive development of the absolute power of the enemy on earth, says in every way that we are literally in the last minutes of earth’s history.
Recently, one of the charismatics was my guest, who himself recognised in the Bible that the Trinity comes from the other side in space warfare. Others understand that the “gift of tongues” is Satan’s falsification of the apostolic revelation of truth with the gift of foreign tongues. It is an interesting coincidence that this also began to penetrate our church, especially in America. The ungodliness and apostasy of the last generation, both in the world and in the church, is taking on incomprehensible proportions, and in the last minutes, it is calling us to repentance and to choose the right side!
An interesting empirical feature of Babylon and the other side is the growing ecumenism along with the worship of the Trinity, which according to the Pope is the most important ecumenical factor, as well as penetrating music, as a “Christian version” of demonic Rock and Beat-Pop music. Lectures by preacher and former rocker Brian Neumann can help us better understand how dangerous hidden hypnotic images are on television and in cinema, as well as modern syncopal and also hypnotic music. Even pop star David Bowie said that every form of modern music with rhythm, even the most inconspicuous forms like New Orleans Jazz or modern Christian music, has its roots in voodoo.
It has a hypnotic effect on our brain because it avoids the frontal lobe filter in our brain. People active in the pagan-demonic Voodoo religion, with pronounced rhythmic music with drums, fall into obsession after a while, where they often shake their bodies and limbs on the ground. We see the same phenomenon in deep charismatic circles. Only at such extremes can we recognize what such music gradually leads to, even that hidden in a milder form and that it allows Satan closer and closer access to our mind and body in the literal sense. Such music has been present in our country for a long time, and it penetrated through the once less conspicuous early line-ups of Heritage Singers, later through Sandy Patti and modern Heritage Singers.
They did not accidentally open the way to today’s charismatic music of demonic background. A similar thing happened in the world, where the Beatles provided access to blasphemous Heavy Metal and Dance music. Ellen White prophesied world music in our circle, with drums, rhythm and playing, as a characteristic of Omega apostasy in the last church just before the end of the time of grace, and wrote that music in both directions has an incomprehensibly strong effect on our mind, positive or negative.
- ”Those things which have been in the past will be in the future. Satan will make music a snare by the way in which it is conducted.” {Ellen White: 2SM, p. 38.}
- “The things you have described as taking place in Indiana, the Lord has shown me would take place just before the close of probation. Every uncouth thing will be demonstrated. There will be shouting, with drums, music, and dancing. The senses of rational Beings will become so confused that they cannot be trusted to make right decisions. And this is called the moving of the holy Spirit. The holy Spirit never reveals itself in such methods, in such a bedlam of noise…A bedlam of noise shocks the senses and perverts that which if conducted aright might be a blessing. The powers of satanic agencies blend with the din and noise, to have a carnival, and this is termed the holy Spirit’s working.“ {Ellen White: 2SM, p. 36}
This announced type of apostasy music received growing applause in the church before our eyes. In defense of this, the biblical expression drums from Psalm 150 are abused. Honest research of the Biblical past tells us that the instruments of that character at that time were only a decent accompaniment of very small instruments with only one gentle beat per beat, which accompanied a melody full of joy and happiness. The drums of that time did not have the syncopal rhythm, volume, and frequency as in today’s dance and modern music.
But, as an “argument of correctness”, the music of Jews from a later period is used, when it was already drastically corrupted by the influence of pagan peoples, similar to ours today! The Jews then took on visibly larger drums, as did all the other pagans around them. It is this music that enables and intensifies the obsession of many people in charismatic circles. When we look at Revelation again, God clearly says that He will spit out Laodicea, and we see that there is no new church after her. God is a God of order and organization, and he does not want a chaotically scattered people, except when he is forced into exile.
Since the scriptures make it clear that the tares and the wheat are growing until the harvest, we must pray and fast so that God will clearly reveal to us the message of the end times. At the apostasy-charismatic Pan-European Youth Congress 2013 in Novi Sad, in addition to the music of the other side, the pantomime of immoral female-male flirtation was shown. Ellen White wrote in the Testimonies that God explicitly forbids theatrical performances both within and outside Adventism. Even to such a truth come arguments as Ellen White praised her granddaughter when she had a simple children’s performance at church! When someone stays in the trash long enough, his heart hardens so much that he begins to find justification for everything, even though the truth is clear! The music of the singer “Jay Z”, who openly celebrates Satan, was broadcast at that gathering, and disco music could be heard from the speakers during breaks.
It is the complete fulfillment of the prophecy of the Spirit of Prophecy about the form of the manifestation of the last apostasy just before the end. Many believers, who were there with sincere motives, did not even notice it, like many on the sidelines, because with the huge presence of evil fallen angels on their territory, the eyes of the faithful on that ground are being closed. Ellen White was explicit not to go to such gatherings, nor to participate in discussions with the spiritists because we will surely fall into a field where God does not send us!This also happened to one of the great preachers of Sister White’s time, who after such a discussion himself became a spiritualist! The right way for a true Adventist to act is to leave such a gathering if the atmosphere goes in the wrong direction.
If the believers had reacted in time, there would never have been such an explosive manifestation of celebrating the other side. That is why every step on the opposite ground directly opens the door to the enemy, even watching movies and listening to the music of this world, and even infiltrated pop and beat music in the church! Satan’s servant Elvis Presley did the same with gospel music of syncopal rhythm, on which all today’s music is based, even “quiet pop music”, present in most modern music of our church and the world. There are Adventist churches in the United States, where a large number of young believers dance in the dark with fog and disco lights, with “Christian pop and rock music” during worship.
It should be mentioned that this apostasy is monitored and strengthened through the so-called Spiritual Formation “prayer”, in which during the “prayer addressed to God”, thoughts stop for half a minute to a few minutes, to “peacefully visualize” Jesus and hear the voice of the Holy Spirit “. The method developed by the Jesuit founder, Ignatius Layola, a spiritualist, was developed for the “benefit of mankind.” It is a masked, mystical New Age meditation, which completely opens the door of our mind to the enemy.
Ellen White wrote that the moment we remove thoughts, we give Satan direct access to our minds. For the same reasons, the pagan religions of the Far East have meditation in them. We can easily understand whose voice is heard in such a prayer. As I have already described, such a prayer goes hand in hand with the worship of the false Holy Spirit, the disguised Lucifer. The methods of hypnosis include the so-called calm music, where passages, rhythms, and tones are repeated very quietly and slowly. As the crown of the attack on God’s church comes the so-called NLP method = Neuro-Linguistic Programming, which has crept through the highest ranks of our church. NLP was also developed by Layola, to influence and manipulate people.
The Jesuits are openly proud of that, and very likely we are, too, since we use their methods. The method was official “newly discovered” only in the seventies of the last century, as a means of “encouraging and guiding people in the desired positive direction.” NLP officially belongs to hypnosis techniques and is found in textbooks of that subject. Anthroposophists, who worship Lucifer, developed hypnosis as part of the realm of Mesmerism and introduced it to modern society. Ellen White was explicit that Mesmerism was one of Satan’s most dangerous techniques. In the world, NLP is described as a “good” and pleasant possibility of “therapy” in a conversation between two people.
Today, Omega apostasy claims that the part of NLP used by Adventists “is not hypnotic but correct“. We’ve heard that song before. They say that “the Adventist trinity is right”, and that “it has nothing to do with the Catholic trinity”. We could say, we Adventists use spiritism in which ghosts are not invoked? Spiritism is spiritualism. NLP is NLP.
We will either serve God or Satan! The environment does not exist. Each form of apostasy is accompanied by the same way of argumentation, which can serve as a pattern of recognition in each area. God told us to separate from the world. Spiritism does not contain the right part! In the application of NLP, where therapy for two is now applied to the whole group or audience, we can observe the following picture: a speaker or singer addresses the audience from the stage while repeating one phrase several times and louder. Repetition weakens the will of the audience. In many cases, he invites the audience to repeat those words or notes together with him. In such hypnotic speech, one moves slowly to the left and then to the right, then from right to left throughout the sermon, as with the pendulum in classical hypnosis, so that the repetition and simulation of the pendulum intensify. If we take a closer look, we will notice that it has become a common occurrence, especially in Adventist circles in America.
As the crowning method of attack, comes today’s modern Beat music, which removes the last bastion of our mind, and whose effect in combination with NLP is amplified. The sermons are characterised by a constant oscillation of the strength of speech and a sudden loud, then silent words, which represent direct stab wounds to our minds! Those who have seized power in God’s church are educating young preachers to use these methods, with the seductive argument that it gets the audience’s attention all the time so that the “truth” can be reached more easily. The young NLP “Evangelists” in our church really have more success than the older ones. This method massively weakens the strength of our will and leads us to agree without thinking. Similar to the older method of “Backward Masking” – playing songs backward that reveal hidden messages.
The strongest form of NLP is used at music concerts, where the audience is invited to repeat one phrase or the answer to a question louder and louder, which hypnotically leads to emotional fluctuations and easy indulgence without thinking. Do we need to use the methods of the other side in our sermons and concerts to “preach the gospel“? This way of hypnosis directly opens the door of our minds to fallen angels. What happens if some apostasy teaching is added to such sermons? Local churches, in which such methods are used, are gaining explosive growth, thus proving that it must be good, from God. According to that, the Pentecostals could also say that they preach the truth because many young people come to church. But if the situation in the churches were different, Jesus’ prophecy about the last days would not have been fulfilled.
The Last Warning to God’s People – The Final Phase of the Apostasy and the First Commandment
Are the claims that today’s belief in the church “PROGRESS” in the knowledge of “TRUTH” is correct?
- “One thing it is certain is soon to be realised,—THE GREAT APOSTASY, which is DEVELOPING AND INCREASING AND WAXING STRONGER, and will continue to do so until the Lord shall descend from heaven with a shout.” {Ellen White: Testimonies, Series B, No.7, S. 57 & NYI February 7, 1906, par. 1}
- “But the Lord will raise up men of keen perception, who will give these truths their proper place in the plan of God.”! {Ellen White: SpTB02 51.2}
Today we are nearing the end of time, which according to Ellen White also contains the final phase of omega apostasy in Laodicea. Why the final phase?
During the 1880s, a small circle of apostate theologians began a “project” of introducing the doctrine of the Trinity.
For this reason, in 1888, Ellen White added the words THE ONLY (Divine) BEING IN THE WHOLE UNIVERSE (BESIDES God the Father) to the book “The Great Struggle”, to challenge false quotes about THREE Divine BEINGS:
- “Christ the Word, the Only Begotten of God, was one with the eternal Father,–one in nature, in character, and in purpose,–THE ONLY being in ALL THE UNIVERSE that could enter into all the counsels and purposes of God.” {Ellen White: Velika Borba, GC, “The Origin of Evil“ 1888, p. 493}
Ellen White stated in the same book the indisputably clear fact, that in all eternity we will be together only with God the Father and His Son Jesus! The Holy Spirit does not exist as the third being in the description of eternity, because he is not the third God, but only the Spirit of the Father and the Son and Their literal and conscious presence in us!
- “And the years of eternity, as they roll, will bring richer and still more glorious revelations of GOD and of CHRIST.“ {Ellen White: Great Controversy, p. 678.1}
- “The glory of God and the Lamb floods the Holy City with unfading light. The redeemed walk in the sunless glory of perpetual day. “I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.” Revelation 21:22. The people of God are privileged to hold open communion with the FATHER and the SON.” {Ellen White: Great Controversy, p. 676.3+4}
In 1891 (June), Ellen White specified why the teaching of the Trinity is not true, and explained that the question of not understanding this mystery in terms of the nature of the Holy Spirit does NOT touch on THE FACT that the Holy Spirit is the SPIRIT OF JESUS, not the third independent Divine Being. a person of the non-existent Trinity.
- “This refers to the OMNIPRESENCE OF THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST, called the COMFORTER. …There are many MYSTERIES which I do not seek to understand or to explain; they are too high for me, and too high for you. On some of these points, SILENCE IS GOLDEN.“ {Ellen White: 14MR, June 11, 1891, p.179.2}
Despite the WARNING that silence is gold, the Spirit of Jesus is proclaimed the third God who does not exist. The leaders of the apostasy sent EGW to Australia for that fight for the truth in 1891 (September) against God and her will, so that they could peacefully supplement the book “The Life of Jesus Christ” with falsifications about the Holy Spirit, i.e. Trinity. The new edition was published in 1898 under the name “Desire of Ages”.
- “I have not, I think, revealed the entire workings that led me here to Australia. Perhaps you may never fully understand the matter. The Lord was not in our leaving America. He did not reveal that it was His will that I should leave Battle Creek. The Lord did not plan this, but He let you all move after your own imaginings. The Lord would have had W. C. White, his mother, and her workers remain in America, we were needed at the heart of the work, and had your spiritual perception discerned the true situation, you would never have consented to the movements made. But the Lord read the hearts of all. There was so great a willingness to have us leave that the Lord permitted this thing to take place. Those who were weary of the testimonies borne were left without the persons who bore them. Our separation from Battle Creek was to let men have their own will and way, which they thought superior to the way of the Lord.“{Ellen White: 11LtMs, Lt 127, 1896, par. 4}
By the time Ellen White returned to the United States in 1900, the spread of apostasy teaching had already become strong and unstoppable.
- “… This was greatly displeasing to the Lord. The APPRENTICES were being EDUCATED in the FALSE DOCTRINES contained in the matter brought in. And the REVIEW and HERALD presses were sending these FALSE doctrines out to the world.“ {Ellen White: MS 20, 1903, April 3, par. 8}
Below is a statement from one of the most important Adventist pioneers, J. N. Andrews, named after the largest Adventist university. Through it we can recognize that the original Adventist faith rejected any form of the Trinity, not just the Catholic one:
- “The doctrine of the TRINITY which was established in the church by the council of Nice, A. D. 325. THIS DOCTRINE DESTROYS THE PERSONALITY OF GOD, and his SON JESUS Christ our Lord. The infamous, measures by which it was forced upon the church which appear upon the pages of ecclesiastical history might well cause every believer in that doctrine to BLUSH.“ {J.N. ANDREWS: RH, March 6, 1855}
Even after 1900, Ellen White confirmed the OLD truth from the above quote, and warned the church:
- “A LIAR is one that presents false theories and doctrines. He who DENIES THE PERSONALITY OF GOD and of His SON JESUS Christ is denying God and Christ. “If that which ye have heard from THE BEGINNING shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son and in the Father.” If you continue to believe and obey the truths you FIRST EMBRACED regarding the personality of the Father and the Son, you will be joined together with them in love. There will be seen that union for which Christ prayed just before His trial and crucifixion.” {Ellen White: Ms 23, 8. February 1906}
- “I assured them that the message she bears today is the same that she has borne during the sixty years of her public ministry..” {Ellen White: RH, July 26, 1906 par. 20}
- “In the book “Living Temple“ there is presented THE ALPHA of deadly heresies. The omega will follow, and will be received by those who are not willing to heed the warning God has given.” {Ellen White: Special Testimonies Series B No. 2, page 50, letter, August 7th 1904 ‘Beware’}
- “We have NOW before us the alpha of this danger. The omega will be of a most startling nature.” {Ellen White: Testimonies, Series B, No. 2, p. 16, written July 24, 1904}
- “Living Temple” contains THE ALPHA OF THESEtheories. I knew that the OMEGA would follow in a little while; and I trembled for our people. The scripture used to substantiate the doctrine there set forth, is scripture misapplied.“ {Ellen White: SpTB02 53.2}
Alpha apostasy carried the primary question of the Holy Spirit and Dr. Kellogg’s claim that he is God, and not just a false explanation of the way he is omnipresent and acts in a pantheistic sense, as old facts are distorted today.
- “He (Dr. Kellog) told me that he NOW believed in God the Father, God the Son, and God the holy Ghost (Trinity); and HIS VIEW was that it was God the holy Ghost, and not God the Father, that filled all space, and every living thing.” {Letter by A. G. Daniells to W. C. White on October 29, 1903}
The doctrine of the TRINITY is a direct VIOLATION OF THE FIRST COMMANDMENT!
Ellen White announced in 1915 that Omega apostasy, based in the SAME area, would be completely expanded soon after her death!
- “I am charged to tell our people, that some do not realize, that the devil has device after device, and he carries them out in ways that they do not expect. Satan’s agencies will invent ways to make sinners out of saints. I tell you now, that WHEN I am laid to REST, GREAT CHANGES will take place. I do not know when I shall be taken; and I desire to warn all against the devices of the devil. I want the people to know that I WARNED them fully before my death.” {Ellen White: Manuscript 1, 24. Feb. 1915}
How did the (gradual) official rejection of the truth really go?
Today, the words of one of the main apostasy bearers, Francis M. Wilcox from 1913, are quoted all over the world as “proof” that the “true” Trinity has always been part of our religion, where he wrote as editor-in-chief of our magazine Pacific Press is our belief Trinity. On the other hand, it is not “accidentally” quoted that in the Yearbook of 1914, the Adventist Church decisively denied this and published a list of our teachings. Items 1 and 2 of the official belief were identical in 1872 and 1914. In 1872, there was not a single trace of belief in the Trinity!
In 1919, among the leading theologians in the GC, there was the first attempt at the official introduction of the Trinity, led by the elders Prescott, Lacey, and Daniells. That attempt was then resolutely rejected by most theologians! The breakthrough came only in 1931 after most of the old pioneers had died. At that time, the teaching of the Trinity was adopted decently and semi-officially. The main bearer of the introduction of the Trinity was Francis M. Wilcox, supported by GK President Charles H. Watson and Dr. Froom in the background. Dr. Froom was then on the core team to prepare 22 points of belief. In his book “Movement of Destiny,” it is stated that until then there was nothing in the literature on the topic of the Trinity:
- “The year 1930 marked another milestone in the formation of the Adventist creed. As missionaries in new territories of Africa were repeatedly asked by government agencies for an official representation of their faith, the African division leadership requested a new edition of the basic principles in the yearbook of the fellowship. Under bypassing the full committee of the General Conference, a draft of 22 “Fundamental Beliefs”, which was prepared by the then editor-in-chief Francis M. Wilcox together with three other theologians, including general conference president Charles H. Watson, entered the yearbook of 1931. According to the Adventist historian Dr. LeRoy E. Froom they wanted to avoid the resistance (of traditionalist circles from the community leadership) through this surprise action. The new version, which implicitly was not itself as a firmly formulated creed, contains for the FIRST TIME a clear commitment to TRINITY and is characterized by a great Christocentrism. The decades-long influence of Uriah Smith and his followers was thus overcome. In 1932, were those “principles of faith” included in the newly created book about our beliefs. They reached even greater weight because they became the rule for baptism.“ {ADVENTECHO German SDA, April 1998, Seite 11+12}
- “MOST of the Adventist pioneers could not become members of the Adventist Church today, at least not before agreeing with the Church’s 28 points of view. They would e.g. rejected point 2 ‘Trinity’ ” {George Knight:, Ministry October 1993 p.10}
- “May I here make a frank personal confession. When back between 1926 and 1928 I was asked by our leaders to give a series of studies on “The holy Spirit”…..covering the North American Union Ministerial Institute of 1928, I found that aside from priceless leads found in the Spirit of Prophecy, there was practically nothing in our literature setting forth a sound, Biblical exposition in this tremendous field of study. There were no previous pathfinding books on the question in our literature.“ {Dr. LeRoy Edwin Froom: Movement of Destiny, page 322-324, 1971}
- “The next logical and inevitable step in the implementing of our unified fundamental beliefs, involved revision of certain STANDARD works, so as to eliminate statements that taught, and thus perpetuated erroneous views on the Godhead.” {Dr. L. Froom: Movement Of Destiny p. 422, 1971}
William Clarence White, son of Ellen White, made a sad statement in 1935:
- “The statements and the arguments of some of our ministers in their effort to prove that the holy Spirit was an individual as are God, the father and Christ, the eternal Son, have perplexed me and sometimes they have made me sad.” {Letter from (sin od EGW) William C. White to H. W. Carr April 30th, 1935}
- “I was shown that the Lord would guide him (William C. White), and that he would, not be led away“ {Ellen White: Selected Messages Book 1, pp. 54, 55}
If today’s theologians REALLY got ALL the data, and the real evidence of falsifications, they would surely look at the issue from a different perspective. Especially because in the Bible itself there is no word Trinity, not a single verse that speaks GOD the Holy Spirit, but instead stands the Spirit of GOD!
Since the Bible also mentions the human spirit, is our spirit also an independent being?
- “They passed Phrygia and the Galatian region because the Holy Spirit prevented them from preaching the word in Asia. When they came to Mysia, they wanted to go to Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them.“ {Acts 16,6.7} Croatian Bible or German Bible: Elberfelder 1905, Schlachter 1951, Hoffnung für alle, Interlinearübersetzung
- “And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter (the Spirit of Jesus), that he may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of truth; Whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.“ {John 14,16-18 KJV}
- “And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.“ {Galatians 4,6}
- “We want the holy Spirit, which is Jesus Christ.” {Ellen White: Letter 66 April 10, 1894 par. 18}
As early as 1893, Ellen White warned the church that none of the twenty Adventists would be saved if they died at that moment:
- “It is a solemn statement that I make to the church, that not one in twenty whose names are registered upon the church books are prepared to close their earthly history, and would be as verily without God and without hope in the world as the common sinner.“ {ChS 41.1} {Ellen White: DC 52.4, 1893}
Is today’s church in deeper communion with God than then? Why then do we automatically take the views of today’s majority as untouchable truth? 99.9 percent of the quotes from Ellen White until her death in 1915 are 180 degrees opposite to those quoted in the defense of the Trinity. The word of God is certainly not against itself! Examples of falsification:
Original: The ONLY defense against sin is JESUS (in harmony with other quotes from Ellen White):
- “Our condition through sin has become preternatural, and the power that restores us must be supernatural, else it has no value. There is but ONE power that can break the hold of EVIL from the hearts of men, and i.e. THE POWER OF GOD in JESUS CHRIST.” {Ellen White: 8T, p. 291 1904}
- “CHRIST is the source of every right impulse. He is the only one who can arouse in the natural heart enmity against SIN. He is the source of our power if we would be saved. No soul can repent without the grace of Christ. The sinner may pray that he may know how to repent. God reveals Christ to the sinner, and when he sees the purity of the Son of God, he is not ignorant of the character of sin. By faith in the work and power of Christ, enmity against sin and Satan is created in his heart.” {Ellen White: RH, 1. April 1890 par. 5}
- “THE ONLY DEFENSE against EVIL is the indwelling of CHRIST in the heart through faith in His righteousness.” {Ellen White: DA, p. 324}
Falsifications: The ONLY defense against sin is the HOLY SPIRIT:
- “SIN could be resisted and overcome ONLY through the mighty agency of the THIRD person of the Godhead, who would come with no modified energy, but in the fullness of divine power.“ {Ellen White: RH, May 19, 1904 par. 3}
- “The prince of the POWER of EVIL can ONLY BE HELD in check by the POWER of God in the THIRD person of the Godhead, the HOLY SPIRIT.” {Ellen White: SpT, Series A, No. 10, p. 37. 1897 and Ellen White: Evangelism, p. 617}
While in the Bible itself we find nothing about the Trinity or the Triune God, in contrast, many pagan nations celebrate the so-called “Divine” triads. The Romans prayed to Jupiter, Juno, and Minerva, the Egyptians prayed to Amun Re and Ptah, the Hindus to Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva, the Greeks to Zeus, Poseidon and Adonis, etc.
When the Catholic Church was founded after the apostolic age, not only the Sunday calendar was accepted, but also the pagan concept of the Trinity.
This form of belief, built on Greek philosophy, was fully and finally formulated in Constantinople (325) in 381. The Trinity is the basic pillar of the Catholic faith, and the Catholic Church itself gives the following definition:
- “The mystery of the Most holy TRINITY is the CENTRAL mystery of Christian faith and life. It is the mystery of God in himself. It is therefore the SOURCE of ALL the other MYSTERIES of faith, the light that enlightens them. It is the most fundamental and essential teaching in the “hierarchy of the truths of faith.“ {Vatican Catechism 234}
The saddest fact is that while Catholics write openly, that the teachings introduced by them have no basis in the Bible, those Whom God raised to proclaim the triple angelic message vigorously defend precisely these delusions:
- “But the Protestant churches have themselves accepted such dogmas as the Trinity for which there is no such precise authority in the Gospels.” {Life Magazine: Oct. 30, 1950, p. 51, Graham Greene, The Assumption of Mary}
Many Adventists believe that most cannot be wrong, or think that the issue is not important and that mentioning this topic would only provoke conflict.
But if the prophet Elijah and the 7,000 believers had such a view, then they would have prayed directly to Val within the then apostate people of Israel!
The TRINITY directly tramples on the FIRST COMMANDMENT because it brings faith in the false additional “God” of the Holy Spirit. And the first commandment speaks clearly, that we may believe only in the true God!
Our DUTY before God is to reveal the whole truth to honest people, to allow them to make the right decision before the end of the time of grace!
- “Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand. Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul.“ {Ezekiel 3, 20.21}
At the end of the time of grace, all the saved will keep all 10 commandments in full depth!
- “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.“ {Revelation 14,7}
- “Those who believe on Christ and obey His commandments are not under bondage to God’s law; for to those who believe and obey, His law is not a law of bondage, but of liberty. Every one who believes on Christ, every one who relies on the keeping power of a risen Saviour that has suffered the penalty pronounced upon the transgressor, every one who resists temptation and in the midst of evil copies the pattern given in the Christ-life, will through faith in the atoning sacrifice of Christ become a partaker of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption i.e. in the world through lust. Every one who by faith obeys God’s commandments, will reach the condition of SINLESSNESS in which Adam lived before his transgression.“ {Ellen White: ST July 23, 1902, par. 14}
- “Sister White told us as we three stood there on the depot platform, that a terrible storm of persecution was coming like a windstorm that blew down every standing object. There was not a Seventh-day Adventist to be seen. They, like the disciples, forsook Christ and fled. All who had sought positions were never seen again. After the storm there was a calm, then the Adventists arose like a great flock of sheep, but there were no shepherds. They all waited in earnest prayer for help and wisdom, and the Lord answered by helping them to choose leaders from among them who had never sought positions before. They prayed earnestly for the holy Spirit which was poured out upon them making them fully ready for service. They then went forth ‘fair as the moon, clear as the sun, and terrible as an army with banners,’ to give this message to the world. “I was astonished, and asked if that applied to Loma Linda, as we were looking in that direction. Sister White replied to my question by stating that it applied to the entire denominational world. It so stunned me that I did not ask any more questions.“ {Will Ross, Boulder, Colorado: His speaking with Ellen White 1908 on the train station of Loma Linda, written 1943 by Elder D.E. Robinson http://www.ellenwhitedefend.com/SOP-Library/History-Defense/LOMALIND.pdf}
