A Declaration of the Fundamental Principles
Taught and Practiced by the Seventh-day Adventists
(S.D.A. Publishing Association, 1872)
In presenting to the public this synopsis of our faith, we wish to have it
distinctly understood that we have no articles of faith, creed, or
discipline, aside from the Bible. We do not put forth this as having any
authority with our people, nor is it designed to secure uniformity among
them, as a system of faith, but is a brief statement of what is, and has
been, with great unanimity, held by them. We often find it necessary to
meet inquiries on this subject, and sometimes to correct false statements
circulated against us, and to remove erroneous impressions which have
obtained with those who have not had an opportunity to become acquainted
with our faith and practice. Our only object is to meet this necessity.
As Seventh-day Adventists we desire simply that our position shall be
understood; and we are the more solicitous for this because there are many
who call themselves Adventists who hold views with which we can have no
sympathy, some of which, we think, are subversive of the plainest and most
important principles set forth in the word of God.
As compared with other Adventists, Seventh-day Adventists differ from one
class in believing in the unconscious state of the dead, and the final
destruction of the unrepentant wicked; from another, in believing in the
perpetuity of the law of God as summarily contained in the ten commandments,
in the operation of the Holy Spirit in the church, and in setting no times
for the advent to occur; from all, in the observance of the seventh day of
the week as the Sabbath of the Lord, and in many applications the prophetic
scriptures.
With these remarks, we ask the attention of the reader to the following
propositions, which aim to be a concise statement of the more prominent
features of our faith.
That there is one God, a personal, spiritual being, the creator of all
things, omnipotent, omniscient, and eternal, infinite in wisdom, holiness,
justice, goodness, truth, and mercy; unchangeable, and everywhere present by
his representative, the Holy Spirit. Ps. 139:7.
That there is one Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Eternal Father, the one
by whom God created all things, and by whom they do consist; that he took on
him the nature of the seed of Abraham for the redemption of our fallen race;
that he dwelt among men full of grace and truth, lived our example, died our
sacrifice, was raised for our justification, ascended on high to be our only
mediator in the sanctuary in Heaven, where, with his own blood he makes
atonement for our sins; which atonement so far from being made on the cross,
which was but the offering of the sacrifice, is the very last portion of his
work as priest according to the example of the Levitical priesthood, which
foreshadowed and prefigured the ministry of our Lord in Heaven.
That the Holy Scriptures, of the Old and New Testaments, were given by
inspiration of God, contain a full revelation of his will to man, and are
the only infallible rule of faith and practice.
That Baptism is an ordinance of the Christian church, to follow faith and
repentance, an ordinance by which we commemorate the resurrection of Christ,
as by this act we show our faith in his burial and resurrection, and through
that, of the resurrection of all the saints at the last day; and that no
other mode fitly represents these facts than that which the Scriptures
prescribe, namely, immersion. Rom. 6:3-5; Col. 2:12.
That the new birth comprises the entire change necessary to fit us for the
kingdom of God, and consists of two parts: first, a moral change, wrought by
conversion and a Christian life; second, a physical change at the second
coming of Christ, whereby, if dead, we are raised incorruptible, and if
living, are changed to immortality in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye.
John 3:3,5; Luke 20:36.
We believe that prophecy is a part of God's revelation to man; that it is
included in that scripture which is profitable for instruction, 2Tim. 3:16;
that it is designed for us and our children, Deut. 29:29; that so far from
being enshrouded in impenetrable mystery, it is that which especially
constitutes the word of God a lamp to our feet and a light to our path, Ps.
119:105, 2Pet. 2:19; that a blessing is pronounced upon those who study it,
Rev. 1:1-3; and that, consequently, it is to be understood by the people of
God sufficiently to show them their position in the world's history, and the
special duties required at their hands.
That the world's history from specified dates in the past, the rise and fall
of empires, and the chronological succession of events down to the setting
up of God's everlasting kingdom, are outlined in numerous great chains of
prophecy; and that these prophecies are now all fulfilled except the closing
scenes.
That the doctrine of the world's conversion and temporal millennium is a
fable of these last days, calculated to lull men into a state of carnal
security, and cause them to be overtaken by the great day of the Lord as by
a thief in the night; that the second coming of Christ is to precede, not
follow, the millennium; for until the Lord appears the papal power, with all
its abominations, is to continue, the wheat and tares grow together, and
evil men and seducers wax worse and worse, as the word of God declares.
That the mistake of the Adventists in 1844 pertained to the nature of the
event then to transpire, not to the time; that no prophetic periods is given
to reach the second advent, but that the longest one, the two thousand and
three hundred days of Dan. 18:14, terminated in that year, and brought us to
an event called the cleansing of the sanctuary.
That the sanctuary of the new covenant is the tabernacle of God in Heaven,
of which Paul speaks in Hebrews 8, and onward, of which our Lord, as great
high Priest, is minister; that this sanctuary is the antitype of the Mosaic
tabernacle, and that the priestly work of our Lord, connected therewith, is
the antitype of the work of the Jewish priests of the former dispensation,
Heb. 8:1-5, &c.; that this is the sanctuary to be cleansed at the end of the
2300 days, what is termed its cleansing being in this case, as in the type,
simply the entrance of the high priest into the most holy place, to finish
the round of service connected therewith, by blotting out and removing from
the sanctuary the sins which had been transferred to it by means of the
ministration in the first apartment, Heb. 9:22,23; and that this work, in
the antitype, commencing in 1844, occupies a brief but indefinite space, at
the conclusion of which the work of mercy for the world is finished.
That God's moral requirements are the same upon all men in all
dispensations; that these are summarily contained in the commandments spoken
by Jehovah from Sinai, engraven on the tables of stone, and deposited in the
ark, which was in consequence called the "ark of the covenant," or
testament, Num. 10:33, Heb. 9:4, &c.; that this law is immutable and
perpetual, being a transcript of the tables deposited in the ark in the true
sanctuary on high, which is also, for the same reason, called the ark of God
's testament; for under the sounding of the seventh trumpet we are told that
"the temple of God was opened in Heaven, and there was seen in his temple
the ark of his testament." Rev. 11:19.
That the fourth commandment of this law requires that we devote the seventh
day of each week, commonly called Saturday, to the abstinence from our own
labor, and to the performance of sacred and religious duties; that this is
the only weekly Sabbath known to the Bible, being the day that was set apart
before paradise was lost, Gen. 2:2,3, and which will be observed in paradise
restored, Isa. 66:22,23; that the facts upon which the Sabbath institution
is based confine it to the seventh day, as they are not true of any other
day; and that the terms Jewish Sabbath and Christian Sabbath, as applied to
the weekly rest-day, are names of human invention, unscriptural in fact, and
false in meaning.
That the man of sin, the papacy, has thought to change times and laws (the
laws of God), Dan. 7:25, and has misled almost all Christendom in regard to
the fourth commandment, we find a prophecy of a reform in this respect to be
wrought among believers just before the coming of Christ. Isa. 56:1,2,
1Pet. 1:5, Rev. 14:12, &c.
That as the natural or carnal heart is at enmity with God and his law, this
enmity can be subdued only by a radical transformation of the affections,
the exchange of unholy for holy principles; that this transformation follows
repentance and faith, is the special work of the Holy Spirit, and
constitutes regeneration or conversion.
That as all have violated the law of God, and cannot of themselves render
obedience to his just requirements, we are dependent on Christ, first, for
justification from our past offenses, and, secondly, for grace whereby to
render acceptable obedience to his holy law in time to come.
That the Spirit of God was promised to manifest itself in the church through
certain gifts, enumerated especially in 1Cor. 12 and Eph. 4; that these
gifts are not designed to superseded, or take the place of, the Bible, which
is sufficient to make us wise unto salvation, any more than the Bible can
take the place of the Holy Spirit; that in specifying the various channels
of its operation, that Spirit has simply made provision for its own
existence and presence with the people of God to the end of time, to lead to
an understanding of that word which it had inspired, to convince of sin, and
work a transformation in the heart and life; and that those who deny to the
Spirit its place and operation, do plainly deny that part of the Bible which
assigns to it this work and position.
That God, in accordance with his uniform dealings with the race, sends forth
a proclamation of the approach of the second advent of Christ; that this
work is symbolized by three messages of Rev. 14, the last one bringing to
view the work of reform on the law of God, that his people may acquire a
complete readiness for that event.
That the time of the cleansing of the sanctuary (see proposition 10),
synchronizing with the time of the proclamation of the third message, is a
time of investigative judgment, first with reference to the dead, and at the
close of probation with reference to the living, to determine who of the
myriads now sleeping in the dust of the earth are worthy of a part in the
first resurrection, and who of its living multitudes are worthy of
translation-points which must be determined before the Lord appears.
That the grave, wither we all tend, expressed by the Hebrew sheol, and the
Greek hades, is a place of darkness in which there is no work, device,
wisdom, or knowledge. Eccl. 9:10.
That the state to which we are reduced by death is one of silence,
inactivity, and entire unconsciousness. Ps. 146:4; Eccl. 9:5,6; Dan. 12:2,
&c.
That out of this prison house of the grave mankind are to be brought be a
bodily resurrection; the righteous having part in the first resurrection,
which takes place at the second advent of Christ, the wicked in the second
resurrection, which takes place a thousand years thereafter. Rev. 20:4-6.
That at the last trump, the living righteous are to be changed in a moment,
in the twinkling of an eye, and with the resurrected righteous are to be
caught up to meet the Lord in the air, so forever to be with the Lord.
That these immortalized ones are then taken to Heaven, to the New Jerusalem,
the Father's house in which there are many mansions, John 14:1-3, where they
reign with Christ a thousand years, judging the world and fallen angels,
that is, apportioning the punishment to be executed upon them at the close
of the one thousand years; Rev. 20:4; 1Cor. 6:2,3; that during this time the
earth lies in a desolate and chaotic condition, Jer. 4:20-27, described, as
in the beginning by the Greek term abussos (greek) bottomless pit
(Septuagint of Gen. 1:2); and that here Satan is confined during the
thousand years, Rev. 20:1,2, and here finally destroyed, Rev. 20:10; Mal.
4:1; the theater of the ruin he has wrought in the universe, being
appropriately made for a time his gloomy prison house, and then the place of
his final execution.
That at the end of the thousand years, the Lord descends with his people and
the New Jerusalem, Rev. 21:2, the wicked dead are raised and come up upon
the surface of the yet unrenewed earth, and gather about the city, the camp
of the saints, Rev. 20:9, and fire comes down from God out of heaven and
devours them. They are then consumed root and branch, Mal. 4:1, becoming as
though they had not been. Obad. 15,16. In this everlasting destruction
from the presence of the Lord, 2 Thess. 1:9, the wicked meet the everlasting
punishment threatened against them, Matt. 25:46. This is the perdition of
ungodly men, the fire which consumes them being the fire for which "the
heavens and the earth which are now" are kept in store, which shall melt
even the elements with its intensity, and purge the earth from the deepest
stains of the curse of sin. 2Pet. 3:7-12.
That a new heavens and earth shall spring by the power of God from the ashes
of the old, to be, with the New Jerusalem for its metropolis and capital,
the eternal inheritance of the saints, the place where the righteous shall
evermore dwell. 2Pet. 3:13; Ps. 37: 11,29; Matt. 5:5.
===================================
Fundamental Principles of Seventh-day Adventists
(S.D.A. Yearbook, 1889, 1912)
As elsewhere stated, Seventh-day Adventists have no creed but the Bible; but
they hold to certain well-defined points of faith, for which they feel
prepared to give a reason "to every man that asketh" them. The following
propositions may be taken as a summary of the principle features of their
religious faith, upon which there is, so far as we know, entire unanimity
throughout the body. They believe,---
That there is one God, a personal, spiritual being, the creator of all
things, omnipotent, omniscient, and eternal; infinite in wisdom, holiness,
justice, goodness, truth, and mercy; unchangeable, and everywhere present by
his representative, the Holy Spirit. Ps. 139:7.
That there is one Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Eternal Father, the one
by whom he created all things, and by whom they do consist; that he took on
him the nature of the seed of Abraham for the redemption of our fallen race;
that he dwelt among men, full of grace and truth, lived our example, died
our sacrifice, was raised for our justification, ascended on high to be our
only mediator in the sanctuary in Heaven, where, through the merits of his
shed blood, he secures the pardon and forgiveness of the sins of all those
who penitently come to him; and as the closing portion of his work as
priest, before he takes his throne as king, he will make the great atonement
for the sins of all such, and their sins will then be blotted out (Acts
3:19) and borne away from the sanctuary, as shown in the service of the
Levitical priesthood, which foreshadowed and prefigured the ministry of our
Lord in heaven. See Lev. 16; Heb. 8:4,5; 9:6, 7; etc.
[Note.-- Some thoughtless persons accuse us of rejecting the atonement of
Christ entirely, because we dissent from the view that the atonement was
made upon the cross, as is generally held. But we do nothing of the kind;
we only take issue as to the time when the atonement is to be made. We
object to the view that the atonement was made upon the cross, because it is
utterly contrary to the type, which placed the atonement at the end of the
yearly sanctuary service, not at the beginning. (see scriptures last
referred to), and because it inevitably leads to one of two great errors.
Thus, Christ on the cross bore the sins of all the world. John said,
"Behold the Lamb of God which taketh away [margin, beareth] the sin of the
world!" John 1:29. Peter tells us when he thus bore the sins of the world:
"Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree." 1Peter 2:24.
Paul says that "he died for all." 2Cor 5:14, 15. That which Christ did upon
the cross, therefore, was done indiscriminately and unconditionally for all
the world; and if this was the atonement, then the sins of all the world
have been atoned for, and all will be saved. This is Universalism in full
blossom. But all men will not be saved; hence the sins of all were not
atoned for upon the cross; and if Christ's work there was the atonement,
then his work was partial, not universal, as the scriptures above quoted
assert, and he atoned for only a favored few who were elected to be saved,
and passed by all others who were predestined to damnation. This would
establish the doctrine of election and predestination in its most ultra
form,--an error equally unscriptural and objectionable with the former. We
avoid both these errors, and find ourselves in harmony with the Mosaic type,
and with all the declarations of the Scriptures, when we take the position
that what Christ did upon the cross was to provide a divine sacrifice for
the world, sufficient to save all, and offered it to every one who will
accept of it; that he then, through the merits of his offering, acts as
mediator with the Father till time shall end, securing the forgiveness of
sins for all who seek him for it; and that, as the last service of his
priesthood, he will blot out the sins of all who have repented and been
converted (Acts 3:19), the atonement not being completed till this work of
blotting out sin is done. Thus Christ atones, not for the sins of the whole
world, to save all, not for a favored few only, elected from all eternity to
be saved, but for those who, as free moral agents, have voluntarily sought
from him the forgiveness of sin, and everlasting life. And all for whom the
atonement is made, will be forever saved in his kingdom. This view in no
way detracts from the merit of Christ's offering, nor from the value and
glory of his atoning work for men. While on this line, we are not driven
into Universalism on the one hand, nor into election and reprobation on the
other.]
That the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments were given by
inspiration of God, contain a full revelation of his will to man, and are
the only infallible rule of faith and practice.
That Baptism is an ordinance of the Christian church, to follow faith and
repentance, --an ordinance by which we commemorate the resurrection of
Christ, as by this act we show our faith in his burial and resurrection, and
through that, in the resurrection of all the saints at the last day; and
that no other mode more fitly represents these facts than that which the
Scriptures prescribe, namely, immersion. Rom. 6:3-5; Col. 2:12.
That the new birth comprises the entire change necessary to fit us for the
kingdom of God, and consists of two parts: First, a moral change wrought by
conversion and a Christian life (John 3: 3, 5); second, a physical change at
the second coming of Christ, whereby, if dead, we are raised incorruptible,
and if living, are changed to immortality in a moment, in the twinkling of
an eye. Luke 20:36; 1Cor. 15: 51, 52.
That prophecy is a part of God's revelation to man; that it is included in
that Scripture which is profitable for instruction (2Tim. 3:16); that it is
designed for us and our children (Deut. 29:29); that so far from being
enshrouded in impenetrable mystery, it is that which especially constitutes
the word of God a lamp to our feet and a light to our path (Ps. 119:105,
2Pet. 1:19); that a blessing is pronounced upon those who study it (Rev.
1:1-3); and that, consequently, it is to be understood by the people of God
sufficiently to show them their position in the world's history and the
special duties required at their hands.
That the world's history from specified dates in the past, the rise and fall
of empires, and the chronological succession of events down to the setting
up of God's everlasting kingdom, are outlined in numerous great chains of
prophecy; and that these prophecies are now all fulfilled except the closing
scenes.
That the doctrine of the world's conversion and temporal millennium is a
fable of these last days, calculated to lull men into a state of carnal
security, and cause them to be overtaken by the great day of the Lord as by
a thief in the night (1 Thes. 5: 3); that the second coming of Christ is to
precede, not follow, the millennium; for until the Lord appears, the papal
power, with all its abominations, is to continue (2 Thes. 2: 8), the wheat
and tares grow together (Matt. 13: 29, 30, 39), and evil men and seducers
wax worse and worse, as the word of God declares. 2 Tim. 3: 1, 13.
9. That the mistake of the Adventists in 1844 pertained to the nature
of the event then to transpire, not to the time; that no prophetic period is
given to reach to the second advent, but that the longest one, the two
thousand and three hundred days of Dan. 18:14, terminated in 1844, and
brought us to an event called the cleansing of the sanctuary.
[Note: The Adventists of 1844 expected that the end of the world would come
in that year, because they held that certain prophecies would then
transpire, which they believed reached to the coming of the Lord. Chief
among these was the prophecy of Dan. 8: 13, 14, which says that at the end
of the prophetic period of 2300 days (years) the sanctuary should be
cleansed. They believed that the earth was the sanctuary then to be
cleansed, and that its cleansing was to be accomplished with fire, which
would accompany the manifestation of the Lord from heaven. From these
premises, the conclusion seemed inevitable that when the 2300 years ended,
in 1844, the Lord would come.
But the day passed by, and no Saviour appeared. Suspended between hope and
fear, and waiting until every plausible allowance for possible inaccuracies
of reckoning and variations of time was exhausted, it became at length
apparent that a great mistake had been made, and that the mistake must be on
one or both of the following points: either, first, the period of the 2300
days did not end at that time, and they had made a mistake in supposing that
they would terminate in that year; or, secondly, the cleansing of the
sanctuary was not to be the burning of the earth at the second coming of
Christ, and hence they had made a mistake in expecting such an event at that
time. While there was a possibility that they had made a mistake on both
these points, it was certain that they had made a mistake on one of them;
and either one would be sufficient to account for the fact that the Lord did
not then appear.
A movement which had enlisted the whole interest of thousands upon
thousands, and thrilled their hearts with enthusiastic hope, was not to be
abandoned, especially by its more conservative and sincere adherents,
without earnest thought and reflection. The whole field of evidence was
therefore carefully re-surveyed. It soon became apparent that two methods
were being adopted to account for the fact that the Lord did not come when
he was expected, and to explain the consequent disappointment.
One class at one rash bound, reached the conclusion that they had made a
mistake in the time, and that the prophetic periods had not expired. This
was, of course, to abandon the whole previous movement, with all its
accompanying manifestations of divine power; for if the time was wrong,
everything was wrong.
Another class, impressed with the fact that God had given too much evidence
of his connection with the movement to allow them to abandon it, carefully
reviewed the evidence on every point. The result with them was a clearer
conviction of the strength and harmony of the argument on chronology. They
saw no ground to change their views upon the reckoning of time, but felt
more convinced than ever that the 2300 days were correctly applied, and that
they terminated at the time appointed in 1844. Thus they became satisfied
that the error lay in their previous views on the subject of the sanctuary
and its cleansing, and that they had made a mistake in supposing that the
earth would be burned at the end of the 2300 days, because the prophecy said
that then the "sanctuary" should "be cleansed." This brings us to note the
difference between Seventh-day Adventists and those called First-day
Adventists, as respects chronology. The latter, believing that the
prophetic periods were given to make known the time of Christ's coming, and
that they have not yet ended, are held to one of two conclusions: either
that all that is said in the Bible about these periods is so much of
revelation unrevealed, or else that the time of Christ's coming is to be
known. The first conclusion, as consistent believers in the Bible, they
cannot adopt, and hence their continual efforts to re-adjust the prophetic
periods, and fix upon some new time for Christ to come. From this has
arisen, in these later years, all the fantastic time-setting which has very
naturally disgusted the world, and worse than this, has brought a stigma of
reproach upon all prophetical study. On the other hand, Seventh-day
Adventists set no time. While they believe that the prophetic periods are
to be understood, the believe also that these periods have been correctly
interpreted, and have all terminated; so that now there is no data from
which to reason respecting a definite time for the Lord to come. ]
That the sanctuary of the new covenant is the tabernacle of God in Heaven,
of which Paul speaks in Hebrews 8 and onward, and of which our Lord, as
great high Priest, is minister; that this sanctuary is the antitype of the
Mosaic tabernacle, and that the priestly work of our Lord, connected
therewith, is the antitype of the work of the Jewish priests of the former
dispensation (Heb. 8:1-5, etc.); that this, and not the earth, is the
sanctuary to be cleansed at the end of the two thousand and three hundred
days, what is termed its cleansing being in this case, as in the type,
simply the entrance of the high priest into the most holy place, to finish
the round of service connected therewith, by making the atonement and
removing from the sanctuary the sins which had been transferred to it by
means of the ministration in the first apartment (Lev 16; Heb. 9:22,23); and
that this work in the antitype, beginning in 1844, consists in actually
blotting out the sins of believers (Acts 3:19), and occupies a brief but
indefinite space of time, at the conclusion of which the work of mercy for
the world is finished, and the second advent of Christ will take place.
That God's moral requirements are the same upon all men in all
dispensations; that these are summarily contained in the commandments spoken
by Jehovah from Sinai, engraven on the tables of stone, and deposited in the
ark, which was in consequence called the "ark of the covenant," or testament
(Num. 10:33, Heb. 9:4, etc.); that this law is immutable and perpetual,
being a transcript of the tables deposited in the ark in the true sanctuary
on high, which is also, for the same reason, called the ark of God's
testament; for under the sounding of the seventh trumpet we are told that
"the temple of God was opened in Heaven, and there was seen in his temple
the ark of his testament." Rev. 11:19.
That the fourth commandment of this law requires that we devote the seventh
day of each week, commonly called Saturday, to abstinence from our own
labor, and to the performance of sacred and religious duties; that this is
the only weekly Sabbath known to the Bible, being the day that was set apart
before paradise was lost (Gen. 2:2,3), and which will be observed in
paradise restored (Isa. 66:22,23); that the facts upon which the Sabbath
institution is based confine it to the seventh day, as they are not true of
any other day; and that the terms Jewish Sabbath, as applied to the
seventh-day, and Christian Sabbath, as applied to the first day of the week,
are names of human invention, unscriptural in fact, and false in meaning.
That the man of sin, the papacy, has thought to change times and laws (the
law of God, Dan. 7:25), and has misled almost all Christendom in regard to
the fourth commandment, we find a prophecy of a reform in this respect to be
wrought among believers just before the coming of Christ. Isa. 56:1,2,
1Pet. 1:5, Rev. 14:12, etc.
That the followers of Christ should be a peculiar people, not following the
maxims, nor conforming to the ways, of the world; not loving its pleasures
nor countenancing its follies; inasmuch as the apostle says that "whosoever
therefore will be" in this sense, "a friend of the world, is the enemy of
God" (James 4:4); and Christ says that we cannot have two masters, or, at
the same time, serve God and mammon. Matt 6:24.
That the Scriptures insist upon plainness and modesty of attire as a
prominent mark of discipleship in those who profess to be the followers of
Him who was, "meek and lowly in heart," that the wearing of gold, pearls,
and costly array, or anything designed merely to adorn the person and foster
the pride of the natural heart, is to be discarded, according to such
scriptures as 1 Tim. 2: 9, 10; 1 Peter 3: 3, 4.
That means for the support of evangelical work among men should be
contributed from love to God and love of souls, not raised by church
lotteries, or occasions designed to contribute to the fun-loving,
appetite-indulging propensities of the sinner, such as fairs, festivals,
oyster suppers, tea, broom, donkey, and crazy socials, etc., which are a
disgrace to the professed church of Christ; that the proportion of one's
income required in former dispensations can be no less under the gospel;
that it is the same as Abraham (whose children we are, if we are Christ's,
Gal. 3: 29) paid to Melchisedec (type of Christ) when he gave him a tenth of
all (Heb. 7:1-4); the tithe is the Lord's (Lev. 27:30); and this tenth of
one's income is also to be supplemented by offerings from those who are
able, for the support of the gospel. 2 Cor. 9:6; Mal. 3: 8, 10.
That as the natural or carnal heart is at enmity with God and his law, this
enmity can be subdued only by a radical transformation of the affections,
the exchange of unholy for holy principles; that this transformation follows
repentance and faith, is the special work of the Holy Spirit, and
constitutes regeneration, or conversion.
That as all have violated the law of God, and cannot of themselves render
obedience to his just requirements, we are dependent on Christ, first, for
justification from our past offenses, and, secondly, for grace whereby to
render acceptable obedience to his holy law in time to come.
That the Spirit of God was promised to manifest itself in the church through
certain gifts, enumerated especially in 1Cor. 12 and Eph. 4; that these
gifts are not designed to superseded, or take the place of, the Bible, which
is sufficient to make us wise unto salvation, any more than the Bible can
take the place of the Holy Spirit; that, in specifying the various channels
of its operation, that Spirit has simply made provision for its own
existence and presence with the people of God to the end of time, to lead to
an understanding of that word which it had inspired, to convince of sin, and
work a transformation in the heart and life; and that those who deny to the
Spirit its place and operation, do plainly deny that part of the Bible which
assigns to it this work and position.
That God, in accordance with his uniform dealings with the race, sends forth
a proclamation of the approach of the second advent of Christ; that this
work is symbolized by the three messages of Rev. 14, the last one bringing
to view the work of reform on the law of God, that his people may acquire a
complete readiness for that event.
That the time of the cleansing of the sanctuary (see proposition 10),
synchronizing with the time of the proclamation of the third message (Rev.
14: 9, 10), is a time of investigative judgment, first, with reference to
the dead, and secondly, at the close of probation, with reference to the
living, to determine who of the myriads now sleeping in the dust of the
earth are worthy of a part in the first resurrection, and who of its living
multitudes are worthy of translation,-points which must be determined before
the Lord appears.
That the grave, wither we all tend, expressed by the Hebrew word sheol and
the Greek word hades, is a place, or condition, in which there is no work,
device, wisdom, nor knowledge. Eccl. 9:10.
That the state to which we are reduced by death is one of silence,
inactivity, and entire unconsciousness. Ps. 146:4; Eccl. 9:5,6; Dan. 12:2.
That out of this prison-house of the grave, mankind are to be brought by a
bodily resurrection; the righteous having part in the first resurrection,
which takes place at the second coming of Christ; the wicked, in the second
resurrection, which takes place in a thousand years thereafter. Rev.
20:4-6.
That at the last trump, the living righteous are to be changed in a moment,
in the twinkling of an eye, and with the risen righteous are to be caught up
to meet the Lord in the air, so forever to be with the Lord. 1 Thes.
4:16,17; 1 Cor. 15: 51, 52.
That these immortalized ones are then taken to Heaven, to the New Jerusalem,
the Father's house, in which there are many mansions (John 14:1-3), where
they reign with Christ a thousand years, judging the world and fallen
angels, that is, apportioning the punishment to be executed upon them at the
close of the one thousand years (Rev. 20:4; 1Cor. 6:2,3); that during this
time the earth lies in a desolate and chaotic condition, Jer. 4:20-27,
described, as in the beginning by the Greek term abussos (greek) "bottomless
pit" (Septuagint of Gen. 1:2); and that here Satan is confined during the
thousand years (Rev. 20:1,2), and here finally destroyed (Rev. 20:10; Mal.
4:1); the theater of the ruin he has wrought in the universe being
appropriately made, for a time, his gloomy prison house, and then the place
of his final execution.
That at the end of the thousand years the Lord descends with his people and
the New Jerusalem (Rev. 21:2), the wicked dead are raised, and come up on
the surface of the yet unrenewed earth, and gather about the city, the camp
of the saints (Rev. 20:9), and fire comes down from God out of heaven and
devours them. They are then consumed, root and branch (Mal. 4:1), becoming
as though they had not been. Obad. 15,16. In this everlasting destruction
from the presence of the Lord (2 Thess. 1:9), the wicked meet the
"everlasting punishment" threatened against them (Matt. 25:46), which is
everlasting death. Rom. 6:23; Rev. 20: 14, 15. This is the perdition of
ungodly men, the fire which consumes them being the fire for which "the
heavens and the earth, which are now, . . . are kept in store," which shall
melt even the elements with its intensity, and purge the earth from the
deepest stains of the curse of sin. 2Pet. 3:7-12.
That new heavens and a new earth shall spring by the power of God from the
ashes of the old, and this renewed earth, with the New Jerusalem for its
metropolis and capital, shall be the eternal inheritance of the saints, the
place where the righteous shall evermore dwell. 2Pet. 3:13; Ps. 37: 11,29;
Matt. 5:5.
============================================
Some Things Which Seventh-day Adventist Believe
(Membership of the S.D.A. Church, 1894)
The S. D. A. people have no creed or discipline except the Bible, but the
following are some of the points of their faith upon which there is quite
general agreement: ---
That there is one God, a personal, spiritual Being, the Creator of all
things, omnipotent, omniscient, and eternal; infinite in wisdom, holiness,
justice, goodness, truth, and mercy; unchangeable, and everywhere present by
his representative, the Holy Spirit.
That there is one Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Eternal Father, the one
by whom he created all things, and by whom they do consist; that he took on
him the nature of the seed of Abraham for the redemption of our fallen race;
that he dwelt among men, full of grace and truth, lived our example, died
our sacrifice, was raised for our justification, ascended on high to be our
only mediator in the sanctuary in Heaven, where, through the atoning merits
of his blood, he secures the pardon and forgiveness of the sins of all those
who penitently come to him; and as the closing portion of his work as priest
before he comes again as King of kings, he will make the final atonement for
the sins of all believers, and blot them out, as foreshadowed and prefigured
by the Levitical priesthood.
That the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments were given by
inspiration of God, and are an infallible rule of faith and practice.
That Baptism is an ordinance of the Christian church, to follow faith and
repentance, --an ordinance by which we commemorate the burial and
resurrection of Christ, and that no other mode fitly represents this except
that which the Scriptures point out, namely, immersion. Baptism is the
outward sign of an inward work.
That the new birth comprises the moral change necessary to make us children
of God; and that this is to be followed by a Christian life. That no one
can be a true child of God except by conversion, which is the work of the
Holy Spirit, changing and renewing the carnal heart, which in its natural
state is at enmity with God and his law.
That prophecy is a part of God's revelation to man; that a blessing is
pronounced upon those who study it; and that, as the Saviour himself has
called attention to Daniel's prophecy (Matt. 24: 15), it is but reasonable
to suppose that the prophecies may be understood; that the world's history,
the rise and fall of empires, is outlined in numerous great chains of
prophecy; and that these prophecies are now all fulfilled except the closing
scenes.
That the doctrine of the world's conversion and temporal millennium is a
fable of these last days, calculated to lull souls into a state of carnal
security, and cause them to be overtaken by the great day of the Lord as by
a thief in the night; that the wheat and tares grow together until the end,
and that wicked men and seducers are to wax worse and worse.
That the Lord never brings judgments upon men without due warning;
consequently the great second advent proclamation which has been stirring
the world for the last half century, is in the order of God, and that the
error of the Adventists in 1844 pertained to the nature of the event then to
transpire, not to the time. The sanctuary was to be cleansed at the end of
the 2300 days, but that cleansing was not the burning of the earth, as the
people supposed; it was Christ's final work as our High Priest in the
sanctuary above.
That the sanctuary of the new covenant is the tabernacle of God in Heaven,
the antitype of the earthly tabernacle erected by Moses in the wilderness;
and that the cleansing of the sanctuary corresponds to the investigative
judgment in heaven, which immediately precedes the second coming of Christ.
That God's moral requirements are the same upon all men in all dispensations
(for "the Lord changeth not"); and that the law of God on tables of stone
in the earthly sanctuary, was but a transcript of the original in the
archives of glory.
That the fourth commandment God's law requires that we devote the seventh
day of each week to abstinence from our own labor, and to the performance of
sacred and religious duties; that this is the only weekly Sabbath recognized
in the Bible, being the day that the Lord set apart in Paradise before man
fell.
That the man of sin, the papal power, has thought to change times and laws
(the law of God), and has misled almost all Christendom in regard to the
fourth commandment, and that there are numerous prophecies of a great
Sabbath reform to be wrought among believers just before the second coming
of Christ.
That the followers of Christ should be a "peculiar people," not following
the ways of the world, not loving its pleasures nor indulging its follies;
inasmuch as the apostle says that "whosoever therefore will be a friend of
the world is the enemy of God."
That the Scriptures insist upon plain and modest attire as a mark of
discipleship in those who profess to be the followers of Christ, and
therefore that the wearing of gold, pearls, and costly array, merely for
adornment, is contrary to the Scriptures, and should not be indulged in by
Christians.
That means for the support of the gospel should be contributed from love to
God and not raised by lotteries, fairs, or festivals; that the tithe of one'
s earnings belongs wholly to God (See Lev. 27: 30), and will be given to him
by those who are walking in the light.
That as the natural or carnal heart is at enmity with God and his law, this
enmity can be subdued only by a radical transformation of the affections,
the exchange of unholy for holy principles; that this transformation follows
repentance and faith, is the special work of the Holy Spirit, and
constitutes regeneration, or conversion.
That all mankind have broken God's law, and come short of his glory; and
that we are wholly dependent upon Jesus Christ for justification from past
sins, and for strength to obey God in time to come.
That Christians are constantly beset by three enemies: the world, the flesh,
and the Devil; and that to be preserved from backsliding and ruin, we should
take up our daily cross, watch unto prayer, study the Bible, in meetings
bear a testimony to goodness of God, and work while the day lasts in doing
good to others.
That temperance and purity are continually enjoined in both the Old and New
Testaments; therefore the use of spirituous drinks and tobacco SHOULD NOT BE
TOLERATED; also that tea, coffee, and the use of flesh as food, do not
constitute a healthful diet.
That there is a personal, wicked spirit called the Devil and Satan, the
enemy of God and his children, that old serpent who deceived our first
parents, and who goeth about like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour,
whom we should resist in the faith, knowing that the God of peace will
finally bruise Satan under our feet.
That the subject of spiritual gifts is a doctrine clearly taught in the
Scriptures, being repeatedly set forth in various books of the Old and New
Testaments; and we learn from history that the gifts have continued all
along the gospel dispensation; and there is the strongest evidence that the
spirit of prophecy has been manifested among those who keep the commandments
of God and the faith of Jesus during the last half century.
That civil government is ordained of God, for the interests and good of
society; and that magistrates should be prayed for and honored and obeyed,
except in things opposed to the will of God who is the only Lord of the
conscience.
That for over half a century God has been sending forth to the world the
great second-advent proclamation concerning the soon-coming of his Son, and
that this last phase of the gospel is symbolized by the three messages of
Revelation 14, the last message bringing to view the Sabbath reform on the
law of God, that his children may obtain a complete readiness for the coming
of Christ.
That the cleansing of the sanctuary synchronizes with the time of the
proclamation of the third message, the last work of the gospel, and is a
time of investigative judgment, first with reference to the righteous dead,
and secondly, at the close of probation, with reference to the living
saints, to determine who of the myriads now sleeping in the dust of the
earth are worthy of a part in the first resurrection, and who of its living
multitudes are worthy of translation.
That modern spiritualism is one of the grossest, most unscriptural, and
seductive errors of the day, being based entirely on the heathen and
Protestant belief that man is conscious in death.
That the grave, wither we are all tending, is, as the Bible says, a place or
state in which there is no work, device, wisdom, or knowledge; that death is
a condition of total unconsciousness, the believer's life being hid with
Christ in God.
That out of this prison-house of the grave, mankind are to be brought by a
bodily resurrection; the righteous having part in the first resurrection,
which takes place at the second advent of Christ; the host of the wicked
coming up a thousand years later at the second resurrection. RAHOI
That just prior to the coming of Christ, probation will end, when the seven
vials of God's wrath will be poured out upon the heads of the wicked who
have hardened their hearts against the entrance of God's Spirit; then men
will run to and fro through the earth, to seek the word of the Lord, and
shall not find it.
That at the last trump, the living righteous are to be changed in a moment,
in the twinkling of an eye, and with the resurrected righteous are to be
caught up to meet the Lord in the air, and so forever to be with the Lord.
That these immortalized ones, with Christ at their head, then ascend to
Heaven, to the New Jerusalem, in which there are many mansions, where they
reign with Christ during the thousand years, judging the world and fallen
angels: that during this time the earth lies in a desolate and partially
chaotic state, being the prison house of Satan, where he is to be finally
destroyed.
That at the end of the thousand years, Christ descends with the redeemed and
the Holy City, the wicked dead are raised, and come up on the surface of the
unrenewed earth, and gather about the city, the camp of the saints, when
fire descends from God out of heaven and devours them. This is the
everlasting fire prepared for the Devil and his angels, the awful perdition
of ungodly men.
That new heavens and a new earth shall spring, by the power of God, from the
ashes of the old, and that this renewed and regenerated earth, with the New
Jerusalem for its metropolis and capital, shall be the eternal inheritance
of the saints, the final abode of the righteous, where they shall evermore
dwell.
Fundamental Beliefs of Seventh-day Adventists
(S.D.A. Yearbook, 1931)
Seventh-day Adventists hold certain fundamental beliefs, the principle
features of which, together with a portion of the scriptural references upon
which they are based, may be summarized as follows:
That the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments were given by
inspiration of God, contain an all-sufficient revelation of His will to men,
and are the only unerring rule of faith and practices. 2 Tim. 3:15-17.
That the Godhead, or Trinity, consists of the Eternal Father, a personal,
spiritual Being, omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient, infinite in wisdom and
love; the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Eternal Father, through whom all
things were created and through whom the salvation of the redeemed hosts
will be accomplished; the Holy Spirit, the third person of the Godhead, the
great regenerating power in the work of redemption. Matt. 28:19.
That Jesus Christ is very God, being of the same nature and essence as the
Eternal Father. While retaining His divine nature He took upon Himself the
nature of the human family, lived on the earth as a man, exemplified in His
life as our Example the principles of righteousness, attested His
relationship to God by many mighty miracles, died for our sins on the cross,
was raised from the dead, and ascended to the Father, where He ever lives to
make intercession for us. John 1:1, 14; Heb. 2:9-18; 8:1,2; 4:14-16; 7:25.
That every person in order to obtain salvation must experience the new
birth; that this comprises an entire transformation of life and character by
the recreative power of God through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. John
3:16; Matt. 18:3; Acts 2:37-39.
The baptism in an ordinance of the Christian church and should follow
repentance and forgiveness of sins. By its observance faith is shown in the
death, burial, and resurrection of Christ. That the proper form of baptism
is by immersion. Rom. 6:1-6; Acts 16:30-33.
That the will of God as it relates to moral conduct is comprehended in His
law of ten commandments; that these are great moral, unchangeable precepts,
binding upon all men, in every age. Ex. 20:1-17.
That the fourth commandment of this unchangeable law requires the observance
of the seventh day Sabbath. This holy institution is at the same time a
memorial of creation and a sign of sanctification, a sign of the believer's
rest from his own works of sin, and his entrance into the rest of soul which
Jesus promises to those who come to Him. Gen. 2:1-3; Ex. 20:8-11; 31:12-17;
Heb. 4 :1-10.
That the law of ten commandments points out sin, the penalty of which is
death. The law can not save the transgressor from his sin, nor impart power
to keep him from sinning. In infinite love and mercy, God provides a way
whereby this may be done. He furnishes a substitute, even Christ the
Righteous One, to die in man's stead, making "Him to be sin for us, who knew
no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him." 2 Cor. 5:21.
That one is justified, not by obedience to the law, but by grace that is in
Christ Jesus. By accepting Christ, man is reconciled to God, justified by
His blood for the sins of the past, and saved from the power of sin by his
indwelling life. Thus the gospel becomes "the power of God unto salvation
to every one that believeth." This experience is wrought by the divine
agency of the Holy Spirit, who convinces of sin and lead to the Sin Bearer,
inducting the believer into the new covenant relationship, where the law of
God is written on his heart, and through the enabling power of the
indwelling Christ, his life is brought into conformity to the divine
precepts. The honor and merit of this wonderful transformation belongs
wholly to Christ. 1 John 3:4; Rom. 7:7; Rom. 3:20; Eph. 2:8-10; 1 John 2:1,
2; Rom. 5:8-10; Gal. 2:20; Eph. 3:17; Heb. 8:8-12.
That God only hath immortality. Mortal man possess a nature inherently
sinful and dying. Immortality and eternal life come only through the
gospel, and are bestowed as the free gift of God and the second advent of
Jesus Christ our Lord. 1Tim. 6:15, 16; 1 Cor. 15:51-55.
That the condition of man in death is one of unconsciousness. That all men,
good and evil alike, remain in the grave from death to the resurrection.
Eccl. 9:5, 6; Ps. 146:3, 4; John 5:28, 29.
That there shall be a resurrection both of the just and of the unjust. The
resurrection of the just will take place at the second coming of Christ; the
resurrection of the unjust will take place a thousand years later, at the
close of the millennium. John 5:28, 29; 1 Thess. 4:13-18; Rev. 20:5-10.
That the finally impenitent, including Satan, the author of sin, will, by
the fires of the last day, be reduced to a state of non-existences, becoming
as though they had not been, thus purging the universe of God of sin and
sinners. Rom. 6:23; Mal. 4:1-3; Rev. 20:9, 10; Obediah 16.
That no prophetic period is given in the Bible to reach to the second
advent, but that the longest one, the 2300 days of Dan. 8:14, terminated in
1844, and brought us to an event called the cleansing of the sanctuary.
That the true sanctuary, of which the tabernacle on earth was a type, is the
temple of God in Heaven, of which Paul speaks in Hebrews 8 and onward, and
of which the Lord Jesus, as our great high priest, in minister; and that the
priestly work of our Lord is the antitype of the work of the Jewish priests
of the former dispensation; that this heavenly sanctuary is the one to be
cleansed at the end of the 2300 days of Dan. 8:14; its cleansing being, as
in the type, a work of judgment, beginning with the entrance of Christ as
the high priest upon the judgment phase of His ministry in the heavenly
sanctuary foreshadowed in the earthly service of cleansing the sanctuary on
the day of atonement. This work of judgment in the heavenly sanctuary began
in 1844. Its completion will close human probation.
That God, in the time of judgment and in accordance with His uniform dealing
with the human family in warning them of coming events vitally affecting
their destiny (Amos 3:6, 7), sends forth a proclamation of the approach of
the second advent of Christ; that this work is symbolized by the three
angels of Revelation 14; and that their threefold message brings to view a
work of reform to prepare a people to meet Him at His coming.
That the time of the cleansing of the sanctuary, synchronizing with the
period of the proclamation of the message of Revelation 14, is a time of
investigative judgment, first with reference to the dead, and secondly, with
reference to the living. This investigative judgment determines who of the
myriads sleeping in the dust of the earth are worthy of a part in the first
resurrection, and who of its living multitudes are worthy of translation. 1
Peter 4:17, 18; Dan. 7:9, 10; Rev. 14:6, 7; Luke 20:35.
That the followers of Christ should be a godly people, not adopting the
unholy maxims nor conforming to the unrighteous ways of the world, not
loving its sinful pleasures nor countenancing its follies. That the
believer should recognize his body as the temple of the Holy Spirit, and
that therefore he should clothe that body in neat, modest, dignified
apparel. Further, that in eating and drinking and in his entire course of
conduct he should shape his life as becometh a follower of the meek and
lowly Master. Thus the believer will be lead to abstain from all
intoxicating drinks, tobacco, and other narcotics, and the avoidance of
every body- and soul-defiling habit and practice. 1 Cor. 3:16, 17; 9:25;
10:31; 1 Tim. 2:9, 10; 1 John 2:6.
That the divine principle of tithes and offerings for the support of the
gospel is an acknowledgment of God's ownership in our lives, and that we are
stewards who must render account to Him of all that He has committed to our
possession. Lev. 27:30; Mal. 3:8-12; Matt. 23:23 ; 1 Cor. 9:9-14 ; 2 Cor.
9:6-15.
That God has placed in His church the gifts of the Holy Spirit, as
enumerated in 1 Corinthians 12 Ephesians 4. That these gifts operate in
harmony with the divine principles of the Bible, and are given for the
perfecting of the saints, the work of the ministry, the edifying of the body
of Christ. Rev. 12:17; 19:10; 1Cor. 1:5-7.
That the second coming of Christ is the great hope of the church, the grand
climax of the gospel and plan of salvation. His coming will be literal,
personal, and visible. Many important events will be associated with His
return, such as the resurrection of the dead, the destruction of the wicked,
the purification of the earth, the reward of the righteous, the
establishment of His everlasting kingdom. The almost complete fulfillment
of various lines of prophecy, particularly those found in the books of
Daniel and Revelation, with existing conditions in the physical, social,
industrial, political, and religious worlds indicates that Christ's coming
"is near, even at the doors." The exact time of that event has not been
foretold. Believers are exhorted to be ready, for "in such an hour as ye
think not, the Son of man" will be revealed. Luke 21:25-27; 17:26-39; John
14:1-3; Acts 1:9-11; Rev. 1:7; Heb. 9:28; James 5:1-8; Joel 3:9-16; 2 Tim.
3:1-5; Dan. 7:27; Matt. 24:36, 44.
That the millennial reign of Christ covers the period between the first and
the second resurrections, during which time the saints of all ages will live
with their blessed Redeemer in Heaven. At the end of the Millenium, the
Holy City with all the saints will descend to the earth. The wicked,
raised in the second resurrection, will go up on the breadth of the earth
with Satan at their head to compass the camp of the saints, when fire will
come down from God out of Heaven and devour them. In the conflagration
which destroys Satan and his host, the earth itself will be regenerated and
cleansed from the effects of the curse. Thus the universe of God will be
purified from the foul blot of sin. Rev. 20; Zech. 14:1-4; 2 Peter 3:7-10.
That God will make all things new. The earth, restored to its pristine
beauty, will become forever the abode of the saints of the Lord. The
promise to Abraham, that through Christ he and his seed should possess the
earth throughout the endless ages of eternity, will be fulfilled. The
kingdom and dominion and the greatness of the king under the whole heaven
will be given to the people of the saints of the Most High, whose kingdom is
an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey Him. Christ,
the Lord, will reign supreme and every creature which is in heaven and on
the earth and under the earth, and such as are in the sea will ascribe
blessing and honor and glory and power unto Him that sitteth upon the throne
and unto the Lamb forever and ever. Gen. 13:14-17; Rom. 4:13; Heb. 11:8-16;
Matt. 5:5; Isa. 35; Rev. 21:1-7; Dan. 7:27; Rev. 5:13.

Nothing original again, huh Cindy? Your motives may be noble, but your
methods are a waste of bandwidth, your time (do some charity work), and
results (who is really going to read that whole declaration!).
But............ maybe it makes you feel good, somehow. Could be worse.

Was all Seventh Day Adventist doctrine complete, full, and finally
established in totality in 1932 ?
Adventist doctrine changed quite often in its early days, ...........
Oct. 1844, the "cornfield vision" and the investigative judgement, 1888
and Jones and Waggoner.
If you believe the Adventist doctrine of 1932, that is your right.
Nevertheless, members of the Seventh Day Adventist church believe in a
continual expanding of understanding of the Bible, and, apparently, they
don't believe that the "pioneers" were inerrant, and they say they
believe that the Bible, and Bible only is their foundation of faith.
EGW herself made it clear that as time went on, WITHOUT HER, new
understanding and applications of scripture would come to light.
You choose to stop, and remain dogmatic, when the Seventh Day Adventist
church, believing what she said, seeks the expanded understanding she
said would come.
This ain't 1932, anymore, toto, although you might be in Kansas. LE

The sad thing is...the majority of those who subscribed to those beliefs
will NOT be saved at last. Not because their doctrines were wrong, but
because their effect was on their intellect only, resulting in no change to
the carnal, unconverted heart which left them without love and condem-
natory of others. Heaven will not be marred by Christless professors of
religion; they will be cast alive into the lake of fire.
"In the last vision given me, I was shown the startling fact that
but a SMALL PORTION of those who now profess the
truth will be SANCTIFIED BY IT and be saved."

1Pe 4:18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and
the sinner appear?
See Rev 3:14-22
The testimony above, yanked out of context by Jesuit Andrew in response to
the fundamental beliefs and principles of the Pioneers being posted, is for
what reason? The quote is actually from volume 1 of the testimonies, and
concerns false accusations against Sister and Brother White and dreams
mailed to them from some of the Pioneers concerning this undermining and
smear campaign... Has Andrew, who excels in false accusations and refusing
to provide proof or evidence or answer questions, read it?? See post:
Conflicts and Victory - 1T chap 104 for context.

To point out that according to EGW the majority of *Historic Adventists* will
not be saved. Not because of a problem with the fundamental beliefs, but rather
because, to many of them their beliefs were intellectual in nature only.. they were
not "SANCTIFIED BY IT." There are a number of other references in her writ-
ings which say the same thing.
When one becomes "sanctified by the truth" they will to some degree reflect the
image of Jesus. Their influence will be saving in nature and not condemnatory to-
wards those whom Jesus came to save.
"The truth is no truth to the one who does not reveal, by his elevated spiritual
character, a power beyond that which the world can give, and influence corres-
ponding in its sacred, peculiar character to the truth itself. He who is sanctified
by the truth will exert a saving, vital influence upon all with whom he comes in
contact. This is Bible religion." --AG 146
"Our first work must be personal. The heart must be cleansed from every defile-
ment, and sanctified by the truth. The love of Christ must burn upon the altar of
the soul. Then, and then only, can we commend to others the things which we
have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and
our hands have handled of the word of life." -- BE 1897

The Pharisees bragged to have the pure faith of Moses and
the Prophets, but they were not "SANCTIFIED BY THE
TRUTH" that they professed.
The problem was not with Moses or the prophets, but that
the Pharisees refused to humble themselves and permit the
life changing Spirit which inspired Moses and the prophets
to transform them.
They had the truth, but they did not know God which was
evidenced by their coarse attitude towards others and their
rejection and crucifixion of the Messiah.

Hmmm... Jesus warned about many things but I never saw him warn about the
Pharisees faith or read about them bragging about faith. Got a reference?
Mat 16
12 Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of
bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
Luk 12
1 ... Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
I've always thought the Jesuits have many of these characteristics in common
with the Pharisees, only to an exponential degree.
Here's more:
THE SINS OF THE PHARISEES -
By Mrs. E. G. White.
-
"Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples, saying, The
scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat. All therefore whatsoever they
bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works; for
they say, and do not." The scribes and Pharisees claimed to be invested with
divine authority similar to that of Moses. They assumed to take his place as
expounders of the law and judges of the people. As such they claimed all
deference and obedience from the people. But Jesus admonished his hearers to
observe and do that which the priests taught according to the law, but not
to follow their example, for they neglected the duties which they taught
others to observe.
The Saviour made it plain to all that he held no personal grievance
against the scribes and Pharisees, notwithstanding their abuse of him; but
he openly condemned their characters and acts as directly opposed to their
teachings, and therefore not to be imitated. Said he, "They bind heavy
burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they
themselves will not move them with one of their fingers." The Pharisees
enjoined a multitude of minute regulations having their foundation in
tradition, and unreasonably restraining personal liberty of action.
God forbade the eating of unclean beasts, not to exercise an arbitrary
authority, but to preserve the life and health of his people. In order for
them to retain their faculties of mind and body, it was necessary that their
blood should be kept pure, by eating simple, healthful food. He therefore
specified the animals least objectionable for food. The leading Jews who
delighted in teaching and in administering the law, carried the prohibitions
of God to unreasonable lengths, making life a burden of ceremonies and
restrictions. They carried the regulations of eating and drinking so far
that the mind was kept on a continual strain in discriminating between what
was considered clean and unclean, and in following out the multitude of
injunctions imposed by the priests. All the water was strained lest the
presence of the smallest speck or insect might render it unclean, and
therefore unfit to use. They were in constant fear of infringing upon
customs and traditions which were taught to them as portions of the law.
The Pharisees by their endless round of forms, fastened the minds of
the people upon external services to the neglect of true religion. They
failed to connect the thought of Christ with their ceremonies, and, having
forsaken the fountain of living water, hewed out for themselves broken
cisterns that could hold no water.
The priests, scribes and rulers not only rejected Christ themselves but
took the most unfair means to prejudice the people against him, deceiving
them by false reports and gross misrepresentations. Said Jesus: "Woe unto
you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven
against men; for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that
are entering to go in." These words, condemning this sin of the Pharisees,
are applicable to all who follow their example. In all ages of the world
truth has been unpopular; its doctrines are not congenial to the natural
mind. The cold professor, the bigot and hypocrite are not willing to accept
that which searches the heart, and reproves the life. Some ministers turn
the ears of the people from truth unto fables, stopping at nothing that will
help to carry out their purpose. They even stoop to pervert the words and
malign the characters of those who receive and love the precious truths of
God, and labor to bring others to a knowledge of them.
The Saviour pronounced a woe on those who, imitating the great rebel,
compass all difficulties to make one proselyte. Said he, "Woe unto you
scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one
proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell
than yourselves." Those whom he addressed would resort to any species of
deception in order to gain influence with the people, and prevent them from
believing and obeying the truth. The Saviour declared of them: "Ye are of
your father, the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a
murderer from the beginning and abode not in the truth, because there is no
truth in him; when he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own; for he is a
liar and the father of it." These cutting words were applied to those who
made the highest pretensions to godliness, and who regarded all other
nations as contemptible in the sight of God.
Just such zealous adversaries of the truth are met in our day. They
leave no means untried to subvert the minds and consciences of men. They
originate falsehoods, and find plenty ready to believe them. They have taken
step after step away from the light into darkness, until the light has
become darkness to them. They possess a determined zeal, which savors of
honesty, and appears to many as such. They are willing to make great
sacrifices and endure rebuffs for the sake of attaining their object,
returning again and again to the same point, seeking to turn souls away from
the divine truth unto superstitions and fables. These pious pretenders come
as angels of light, professing deep experience in the things of God, while
they are doing the work of Satan. Those whom they succeed in gaining become
even worse than themselves; such is the downward road to ruin. Jesus says of
this latter class, "Ye make him twofold more the child of hell than
yourselves."
The Saviour continued: "Woe unto you, ye blind guides, who say,
Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall
swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor! Ye fools and blind; for
whether is greater, the gold or the temple that sanctifieth the gold? And,
Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever sweareth by
the gift that is upon it he is guilty. Ye fools and blind; for whether is
greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?" The priests
interpreted the requirements of God to meet their false and narrow standard.
They presumed to make nice distinctions between the comparative guilt of
various sins, passing over some lightly, assigning as an excuse that the end
justified the means, while errors of perhaps less consequence were treated
as unpardonable. These blind guides so confused the minds of their followers
in regard to sin and the proper standard of holiness, that they were
destined to eventually perish with their leaders.
The Pharisees took upon themselves the responsibility of deciding
concerning the burdens and duties of others according to the judgment of
their own carnal minds. They accepted money from persons in return for
excusing them from their vows, and in some cases, crimes of an aggravated
character were passed over in consideration of large sums of money paid to
the authorities by the transgressor. At the same time these hypocritical
priests were exact in the matter of sacrifices and ceremonies, as if it were
possible for cold forms to blot out the unrepented sins of their daily
lives.
The Lord said unto Samuel, "Hath the Lord as great delight in burnt
offerings and in sacrifices as in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to
obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams." No
outward service, even in that which is required by God can be a substitute
for an obedient life. The Creator desires heart service of his creatures.
God has said through Hosea, "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."
The many sacrifices of the Jews and the flowing of blood to atone for sins
for which they felt no true repentance was ever repugnant to God. He spoke
through Micah saying, "Wherewith shall I come before the Lord, and bow
myself before the high God? shall I come before him with burnt offerings,
with calves of a year old? Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams,
or with ten thousands of rivers of oil? shall I give my firstborn for my
transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? He hath showed
thee, O man, what is good; and what doeth the Lord require of thee, but to
do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?"
Costly gifts and a semblance of holiness cannot win the favor of God.
He requires for his mercies a contrite spirit, a heart open to the light of
truth, love and compassion for our fellow men and a spirit refusing to be
bribed through avarice or self-love. The priests and rulers were destitute
for these essentials to God's favor, and their most precious gifts and
gorgeous ceremonies were an abomination in his eyes.
The Pharisees built expensive monuments to the dead prophets,
pretending to deplore the sins of their fathers in rejecting, persecuting
and slaying the chosen servants of God. At the same time they were burning
with rage against the greatest prophet the world had ever seen, simply
because he revealed and reproved their sins. They not only manifested the
same spirit of hatred which had actuated their fathers, but were doing
ten-fold worse than they in opposing and plotting against the divine Son of
God.
These men whom Jesus exposed in so unsparing a manner should be a
warning to those who reject the light of truth. They had gone step by step
into darkness, rejecting the evidences that Jesus was the true Messiah,
until the obscurity of their minds was so great that they called
righteousness sin and sin righteousness. They evinced the same malice that
actuated Satan against Christ in heaven, and for the same reason, because of
the superior goodness of the Son of God. They were indeed the children of
Satan. They condemned the acts of their forefathers in persecuting the
prophets, and assumed to be the representatives of those holy men of God who
died for their faith; they built the tombs of the prophets and garnished
their sepulchers, and said one to another, If we had lived in those days we
should not have been partakers with those who shed the blood of God's
servants, yet at the same time they were planning to destroy the Son of God,
and would not have hesitated to imbrue their hands in his blood if they had
not feared the people.
The condition of the Pharisees should be a lesson to the Christian
world of the present day. It should open their eyes to the power of Satan to
deceive human minds when they once turn from the precious light of truth,
and yield to the control of the enemy. Many who make exalted professions
today are following in the track of the Pharisees. They zealously cherish
the memory of the prophets, even as the Pharisees were zealous in building
and decorating their tombs. They declare that, had they lived in the days
when Christ was upon the earth, they would have gladly received his
teachings and obeyed them. But if these very persons had been placed in a
similar position with the Jews, they would have done no better than they who
crucified the Saviour.
Unpopular truth is no more acceptable to Pharisaical, self-righteous
hearts today than when Christ walked the earth, a man among men.
If Christians were to be tested now as were the Jews at the first
advent of Christ, few would accept him wrapped in his garment of humanity,
living a life of humiliation and poverty. The Christian world can accept
Messiah as a King at the right hand of God in heaven, but their hearts
reject a Saviour of humility and self-sacrifice; they shrink from the cross
of Christ, even as did the haughty Pharisees. Few indeed imitate the example
of Jesus, and follow his teachings in their daily lives. He has exhorted his
disciples to follow in his foot-steps. Many are in as great blindness
concerning the plan of salvation as were the Pharisees, who professed
obedience to God while they rejected Him who came to work out their
salvation, that their efforts to gain a righteous character should have
virtue with God through the sinner's Advocate and substitute.
If man sacrifices righteous principles and truth because he can thus
avoid persecution and trial in this life, he may obtain the friendship of
the world, but will lose the favor of God. He barters his eternal welfare
for trifling considerations. But he that obeys the requirements of Christ,
neither looking nor planning for his own convenience, preferring even to
sacrifice his temporal life rather than turn from the light of truth will
secure the reward of the future immortal life. Jesus has said, "He that
loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world
shall keep it unto life eternal."

True, but that wasn't what I asked was it? You saw the pillars of the
Adventist faith posted and turned this conversation into the issue of
Pharisees... and yet steadily defend the servants of the Antichrist.. Is

Rev. 19:20 And [Jesuit Andrew's] beast was taken, and with him the
false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived
them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped
his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with
brimstone.
21 And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the
horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were
filled with their flesh.

The problem was not with the fundamental beliefs that they professed, but rather
that they refused to humble themselves and permit the life changing Spirit of God
which inspired Moses and the prophets to *transform* their corrupt, fallen nature.
They were not__*sanctified by the truth*__that they professed.

If we cannot learn the spiritual lessons from sacred history that has been passed
down to us at such a tremendous sacrifice, then we will be in danger of repeating
the same mistakes and following in the footsteps of those who made shipwreck
of faith to our eternal loss.

Dear Ted,
It is most obvious from your frequent postings that
you are a very troubled and unhappy person. I know
that it is easy and natural for others to judge you not
knowing the severe childhood trauma you may have
experienced coupled with a dysfunctional home from
your early days until now. You must have experienced
great pain.
I am sorry Ted, for these things in your life which have
brought you to the condition you are in now. Please be
it known to you that there is a God in heaven who loves
you. There is an all powerful Savior who is able to make
something beautiful of your life and to give you a place
with Him through all future ages in His kingdom of glory.
It was unclear on other posts whether you claimed to be
a Christian. Now, while the door of mercy is still open,
while probationary hours are fast fleeting into eternity, is
the opportunity for you (and all of us) to respond to the
powerful drawing of Jesus Christ .. to humble ourselves
before Him in repentance for our sins and to surrender
our lives to Him daily.
Dear Ted, if you do these things and learn of Jesus Christ
through prayer and the study of His words and teachings,
then the peace of heaven will replace the anxieties which
plague you now. Then your influence will reveal the
fruits of God's spirit to the glory of Jesus Christ.

"Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him
show out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.
But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not,
and lie
not against the truth.
This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual,
devilish.
For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil
work.
But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable,
gentle,
and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without
partiality,
and without hypocrisy. And the fruit of righteousness is sown in
peace of
them that make peace."
May His peace and presence fill your heart as you
surrender to Him now is my prayer for you.

Arise, O LORD! Confront him, bring him down; deliver my soul from the
wicked one who has been sentenced to death with your sword. As for the
righteous who deliver up their soul to death for your sake, their
portion is away from the earth, in eternal life; may their belly be
filled with your good store, may (their) sons be satisfied and leave
their surplus to their children. *IN* *TRUTH* *I* *SHALL* *SEE* *THE*

According to Kant, the starting point, a reflection on our moral
concepts {#41 x n}, leads immediately to the first intermediate thesis,
that (1) a moral law “HAS TO CARRY ABSOLUTE [#41 - *ONTIC*] NECESSITY
WITH IT” (GMS, 389,13). If this necessity is very narrowly interpreted,
that is, in the sense of the previously worked out modal status {

}, somewhat more than might be expected would already have been required
if it were not, as is usual, *TO* *BE* *MERELY* *A* *RECITATION* *OF*
*PIOUS* *WISHES*. But pure reason is such an isolated domain, within
itself so thoroughly connected, that no part of it can be encroached
upon without disturbing all the rest, nor adjusted without having
previously determined for each part its place and its influence on the
others; for, since there is nothing outside of it that could correct our
judgment within it, the validity and use of each part depends on the
relation in which it stands to the others within reason itself, and, as
with the structure of an organized body, the purpose of any member can
be derived only from the complete concept of the whole. That is why it
can be said of such a critique, that it is never trustworthy unless it
is entirely complete down to the least elements of pure reason, and that
in the domain of this faculty one must determine and settle either all
or nothing.
But although a mere plan that might precede the Critique of Pure Reason
would be unintelligible, undependable, and useless, it is by contrast
all the more useful if it comes after. For one will thereby be put in
the position to survey the whole, to test one by one the main points at
issue in this science, and to arrange many things in the exposition
better than could be done in the first execution of the work.
Here then is such a plan subsequent to the completed work, which now can
be laid out according to the analytic method, whereas the work itself
absolutely had to be composed according to the synthetic method, so that
the science might present all of its articulations, as the structural
organization of a quite peculiar faculty of cognition, in their natural
connection. Whosoever finds this plan itself, which I send ahead as
prolegomena for any future metaphysics, still obscure, may consider that
it simply is not necessary for everyone to study metaphysics, that there
are some talents that proceed perfectly well in fundamental and even
deep sciences that are closer to intuition, but that will not succeed in
the investigation of purely abstract concepts, and that in such a case
one should apply one’s mental [IDEA: @264] gifts to another object; that
whosoever undertakes to judge or indeed to construct a metaphysics must,
however, thoroughly satisfy the challenge made here, whether it happens
that they accept my solution, or fundamentally reject it and replace it
with another – for they cannot dismiss it; and finally, *THAT* *THE*
*MUCH* *DECRIED* *OBSCURITY* (*A* *FAMILIAR* *CLOAKING* *FOR* *ONE’S*

*SCIENCES* *OBSERVES* *A* *WARY* *SILENCE*, *SPEAKS* *MASTERFULLY*,
*AND* *BOLDLY* *PASSES* *JUDGMENT* *IN* *QUESTIONS* *OF* *METAPHYSICS*,
because here to be sure their ignorance does not stand out clearly in
relation to the science of others, but in relation to genuine critical
principles, which therefore can be praised:

IMMANUEL KANT'S (1783) PROLEGOMENA SECTION #7 AS IDEA: @281: "We find,
however, that all mathematical cognition has this distinguishing
feature, that it must present its concept beforehand in intuition and
indeed a priori, consequently in an intuition that is not empirical but
pure, without which means it cannot take a single step; therefore its
judgments are always intuitive, in the place of which philosophy can
content itself with discursive judgments from mere concepts, and can
indeed exemplify its apodictic teachings through intuition but can never
derive them from it. This observation with respect to the nature of
mathematics already guides us toward the first and highest condition of
its possibility; namely, it must be grounded in some pure intuition or
other, in which it can present, or, as one calls it, construct all of
its concepts in *CONCRETO* yet a priori.∗ If we could discover this pure
intuition and its possibility, then from there it could easily be
explained how synthetic a priori propositions are possible in pure
mathematics, and consequently also how this science itself is possible;
for just as empirical intuition makes it possible for us, without
difficulty, to amplify (synthetically in experience) the concept we form
of an object of intuition through new predicates that are presented by
intuition itself, so too will pure intuition do the same, only with this
difference: that in the latter case the synthetic judgment will be a
priori certain and apodictic, but in the former only a posteriori and
empirically certain, because the former only contains what is met with
in contingent empirical intuition, while the latter contains what
necessarily must be met with in pure intuition, since it is, as
intuition a priori, inseparably bound with the concept before all
experience or individual perception. [CAMBRIDGE TEXTS IN THE HISTORY OF

HUME (died 25 August 1776, Edinburgh) had raised objections to the
notions of equality and congruence (among others) in geometry, which
objections appealed to experience (Treatise, i.ii.4.4, pp. 42–53),
thereby subjecting mathematics to experience, and whereby he also
*INCORRECTLY* rejected THE CONCEPTION THAT MATHEMATICS CONSIDERS ITS

QUEEN SPEAKS PUBLICLY ON BREXIT FOR FIRST TIME DURING DUTCH ROYAL VISIT:
During a state banquet for the King of the Netherlands and his wife
Queen Maxima, QUEEN ELIZABETH II said that "AS WE LOOK TOWARD A NEW
PARTNERSHIP WITH EUROPE", the values shared by the UK and Holland "ARE
OUR GREATEST ASSETS".
In front of a watching Theresa May at Buckingham Palace, the Queen added
that as "INNOVATORS, TRADERS AND INTERNATIONALISTS WE LOOK WITH
CONFIDENCE TO THE FUTURE".
The Queen, who is impartial in political matters, chose to emphasise the
qualities needed by the UK and one of its closet European neighbours
going forward - as UK politicians continue to be bitterly divided by BREXIT.
Earlier, in a speech to both Houses of Parliament, King Willem-Alexander
urged the government to lift the "SHADOW OF UNCERTAINTY" hanging over
Dutch nationals living in Britain after BREXIT.
And in his address at the Palace dinner, with Ms May seated nearby, the
foreign head of state continued: "AT PRESENT, A LOT OF ATTENTION IS
FOCUSED ON THE 'TECHNICAL' SIDE OF BREXIT. THAT'S UNDERSTANDABLE AND
NECESSARY.
BUT IN THE MIDST OF ALL THAT COMPLEXITY WE SHOULD NOT LOSE SIGHT OF THE
GREATER NARRATIVE THAT CONTINUES TO BIND {#41 x 7 = #287 as [#1, #50,
#1, #3, #20, #1, #10, #1, #200] = anagkaios (G316): {UMBRA: #9 as #356 %

1b) connected by bonds of nature or friendship; 1c) what ought according
to the law of duty be done, what is required by the circumstances} US.
THE GREATER NARRATIVE OF FREEDOM, OPENNESS AND COOPERATION. OF GROWTH
AND A PROSPERITY WHOSE FRUITS ARE ENJOYED BY ALL." [JAMES MORRIS /

In acknowledgement of Captain James Cook diary entry made of his
visitation to these lands upon 22 August, 1770: "[Since I] may land no
more upon this eastern coast of New Holland, and on the western side I
can make no new discovery the honour of which belongs to the Dutch
navigators [by Dirk Hartog upon 26 October 1616 AO] and as such they may
lay claim to it as their property." And of 25 December 1770 exigency
when Captain Cook sought repairs within Batavia whereupon a sailor
absconded.

REGINA II as an impunity of the DIGNITY ROYAL in the circumstance of
TREASON the ONUS of accountability is placed upon OTHERS having no
entitlement for any use of that INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY whatsoever.
THEY will probably have 20 minutes to explain THEIR circumstance before
the court tires of THEM and then summarily executed like haughty
garbage—the prosecution of the case although demanding more skill than
most of the indolent stooge lawyers within the COMMONWEALTH can muster,
to their SHAME will take no more time to prosecute than a parking ticket.
THIS CHRISTMAS TIME the CATHOLIC CHURCH IN PARTICULAR will be making
claims of CHRISTIAN IDENTITY which are SHOWN by EVIDENCE to the CONTRARY
as being a FRAUD and it will be a BLASPHEMY which they cannot AVOID
because there is no time to CHANGE the NARRATIVE of the DAY.
