I fear that you cannot stand to hear the truth, so you revert to unwise categorizing. What a shame you cannot debate without using hurtfulness.
If they believe Israel failed, then they have something correct.
All Christians have failed. Only through the Power of Jesus Blood are all of us able to stand before the Father spotless.
So, with that bit of undocumented knowledge you have taken it upon yourself to categorize me? May the Good Lord help you.
If you are aware of that fact, then you should know what I write is according to scripture.
Israel had its chance to become a great nation and they failed completely.
So, you left Adventism, why? If you didn't learn about the Investigative Judgment, then you must have left before being fully indoctrinated.
God knows every soul that is living and has lived. It is absurd belief that Jesus has been in a room investigating those who claim to be righteous. Since 1844 supposedly Jesus has been in Heaven doing just that. What a disservice to Jesus.
Hate??? Let me tell you something that is not a secret. I love my SDA brothers and sisters. They are wonderful people who have been fed falsehood. Would it be wrong to abhor falsehood?
That is complete nonsense. There is so much scriptural evidence that God has negated the covenant given only to Israel and has given all mankind a new and better covenant and this evidence is found in the New Testament. One only has to open his eyes to see the difference. Praise God for His mercy.
You do not use Paul as an authority? No wonder you are not able to comprehend the real truth. Well, I do use his writings, as God's ambassador to all who seek God Paul's writings tell us the real truth. Man has distorted the Word, so we should never rely on anything but the Holy Spirit and the Word.
I do not believe you are that thin skinned, now you are avoiding the issue like a politician. Like Islam, you want Israel to fail, and you see that as important; I think the Jews never had a feasible chance in the first place, but God used them probably, among many other points, to prove that without God they would fail. Now, like Paul, you say, it wasn't the Jews fault, the Law failed, thinking this would not offend God.
Sin is important when it is defined by the Law of God, when the Law of the covenant is abrogated sin becomes defined by the Law of some other God and some other covenant, having nothing to do with the God of Israel. Sin is something God can fix, he can raise his people up perfect on the last day; but God has determined not to raise up to eternal life those who eat their own food and wear their own garments.
What yard stick do you use when you say Israel is not/was not a great nation, they had to be great first in order to be brought down low in the second place; do you consider the descendants of Israel to be 15000000, 50000000 or numbering the sands of the sea, do they include the dead as well as the living. For those of Israel who individually failed the new covenant is primarily their second chance. God chose Israel for a purpose, as an instrument, God did not fail, as a result all of mankind is with out excuse.
I went to the SDA for a Revelation Seminar and continued attending their church for a while, I was told that to be an Adventist I had to believe 4 things, two of which I had a problem with; when they began counting me as a member I used my conscience as an excuse to leave; the real reason was I had problems with stress.
Indoctrination is just another word that means
teaching. There is good indoctrination and bad indoctrination; the teaching of God is good indoctrination, based on scripture becomes dangerous when it displaces scripture. The SDA acknowledges that “Investigative Judgement” is based on scripture, which makes it a doctrine of men, which is not automatically bad, but beware.
You seem to imply that God's judgement does not require or consume time. While God has allocated seven thousand years to the task, those of the first resurrection are more chosen than judged and these take a thousand years to judge those of the second resurrection.
1844 was a stuff up, yet it was an awakening, it should have inspired thinking in all the churches, thinking like, you have 490 years, then messiah the prince”. The SDA see them selves as a remnant that came out, and they may have been but remnants do not remain remnants, nor do they always renew the covenant.
I disagree with where the SDA start counting the 2300 years, these should continue on from the 490 years, reaching through to the year 6000 on the Jewish calendar, the six one thousand year days of creation, producing the called and chosen.
The SDA misuse the 2300 period, they use it as a length of time, from one place until the cleansing of the sanctuary, and they begin measuring from the command to rebuild Jerusalem, the sanctuary being cleansed in 1844. one part of their error I believe is they think the term “the abomination of desolation” refers to a specific event rather it being a general term that can have other uses.
The 2300 years is not a line, it is a volume containing the abomination of desolation (the absence of God) and the treading of the sanctuary underfoot, and it begins with the cessation of the daily sacrifice when the curtain in the temple was ripped top to bottom. The cleansing of the sanctuary is part of the package of Christ's return.

Nonsense to you, yes, but what most Christians call, ”new covenant” is a concoction of men, (based on scripture), which defines a fake God. You gamble your salvation on evidence, while rejecting the teaching of God.
The renewed covenant made with the lost sheep of Israel is better in three obvious ways: Jesus is mediator, people can look back and see proof, before people had to look forward at a promise, and some have knowledge of what is to come.
