“I’m not trying to be difficult here but be specific in what she said that did not come to pass.”

She falsely predicted the end of the world and the Second Coming of Christ, many times, and was wrong every time. Here’s a site that has some details about that:

“But the Catholics want to disparage the SDA’s by posting the ex SDA website that says absolutely nothing and yet their own teachings veer FAR FAR FAR from the Bible. Praying to statues and dead people, priests forgiving sins, etc., are NOT grounded in Biblical truth.”

Well, if the Catholics are wrong in some of their doctrines, it doesn’t mean the SDAs’ doctrine is sound simply because they denounce the Catholics’ errors. One needs to look at all things critically, with the Bible as the standard of proof.

The Bible is very clear that we don’t go with Him until His return. The thief on the cross was told by Christ he would be with him in paradise but no one has gone yet.

the Seventh Day Adventists like the Mormons have their own newly "translated" version of the Bible with their own distortions including Soul sleep, Satan as Jesus' Brother, etc. etc.

Amen. And they both operate under the same premise of being the one true church in particular, and with their church being the supreme authority.

There are some “evangelical” type SDA’s who want to minimize Ellen and marginalize the fundamental SDAs (and liberal Prots who accommodate them), but the latter have the authority as they represent the historical SDA based on its core writings, like as fundamentalists Muslims do.
