Heretical teachings of the Seventh Day Adventists

[LittleLambofJesus]

This post is a general statement - more in response to the thread title than to anything else.

The beliefs of the Seventh-day Adventist church are stated in 28 short paragraphs. 28 statements of belief, 28 doctrines. Each paragraph is typically between 2 to 6 sentences. So not a lot of reading.

It is not expected that every Christian will agree with every doctrinal statement of every other denomination that they do not belong to - so I would not expect that here either. But before claiming that you differ with a doctrine - at least "know what it is" that you differ with.

Are Seventh-day Adventists true Christians or part of the cults? - YouTube

I think this sums it up pretty well.

Not to the Sabbatarian SDAs.......

Here is Walter Martin's preface to the SDA discussion

Together with the Evangelical Foundation (founded by the late Dr. Donald Grey Barnhouse and publishers of the now-defunct Eternity magazine), we conducted a thorough new evaluation of the Seventh-day Adventists several years ago. The results of that new evaluation were presented comprehensively in the book The Truth About Seventh-day Adventism and then later in the previous editions of this volume.


It is my conviction that one cannot be a true Jehovah’s Witness, Mormon, Christian Scientist, etc., and be a Christian in the biblical sense of the term; but it is perfectly possible to be a Seventh-day Adventist and be a true follower of Jesus Christ despite certain heterodox concepts, which will be discussed.




Such Christian leaders as Louis T. Talbot, M. R. DeHaan, John R. Rice, Anthony A. Hoekema, J. K. Van Baalen, Herbert Bird, and John R. Gerstner have taken the position that Adventism is in fact a cult system; whereas, the late Donald Grey Barnhouse, myself, E. Schuyler English, and quite a few others have concluded the opposite.




Since the opposing view has had wide circulation over a long period of time, I felt it was necessary to include here Seventh-day Adventism as a proper counterbalance—presenting the other side of Adventism and representing the theology of Adventism as the Adventists themselves believe it and not as many critics have caricatured it.

how "instructive".

Is this supposed to be proof that your sect is Orthodox?

Sola Scriptura testing of all Bible doctrine. we call it the first "Fundamental Belief" and use it to test all others. Even yours.

Solo Scriptura and Sola Scriptura...is there a difference?

"According to Keith Mathison, over the last one hundred and fifty years Evangelicalism has replaced sola scriptura, according to which Scripture is the only infallible ecclesial authority, with solo scriptura, the notion that Scripture is the only ecclesial authority. The direct implication of solo scriptura is that each person is his own ultimate interpretive authority.

Solo scriptura is, according to Mathison, an unbiblical position; proponents of sola scriptura should uphold the claim that Scripture is the only infallible authority, but should repudiate any position according to which individual Christians are the ultimate arbiters of Scriptural truth. In this article we argue that there is no principled difference between sola scriptura and solo scriptura with respect to the holder of ultimate interpretive authority, and that a return to apostolic succession is the only way to avoid the untoward consequences to which both solo scriptura and sola scriptura lead."

We certainly don't stop anyone else from using that method. (Which is how we keep growing at this rate)

The Adventist Church put on one of the biggest and most deceitful con games in religious history when it pulled the wool over Dr. Martin's eyes. They even published a book "Questions on Doctrine" to facilitate an incredibly-massive fraud, and never published it again. It softened up some of the more lunatic fringe Adventist doctrines like its exclusive Sabbath Porn Product, but by an large came the same intent going. Any doctrinal definition Adventists promulgate does not accurate reflect their real beliefs. When near his death, Dr. Martin realized how badly he had been lied to and deceived and demanded that Questions on Doctrine be reprinted or he was going to renew the "cult" label.

The poor man died a few months later, knowing that Christianity had probably made a major, irreparable mistake. Millions of people would now suffer horrific cult bondage from this newly-revived Ebionite heresy.
