Yet this very class put forth the claim that the fast-spreading corruption is largely attributable to the desecration of the so-called “Christian sabbath,” and that the enforcement of Sunday observance would greatly improve the morals of society. This claim is especially urged in America, where the doctrine of the true Sabbath has been most widely preached. Here the temperance work, one of the most prominent and important of moral reforms, is often combined with the Sunday movement, and the advocates of the latter represent themselves as laboring to promote the highest interest of society; and those who refuse to unite with them are denounced as the enemies of temperance and reform. But the fact that a movement to establish error is connected with a work which is in itself good, is not an argument in favor of the error. We may disguise poison by mingling it with wholesome food, but we do not change its nature. On the contrary, it is rendered more dangerous, as it is more likely to be taken unawares. It is one of Satan's devices to combine with falsehood just enough truth to give it plausibility. The leaders of the Sunday movement may advocate reforms which the people need, principles which are in harmony with the Bible; yet while there is with these a requirement which is contrary to God's law, His servants cannot unite with them. Nothing can justify them in setting aside the commandments of God for the precepts of men.
yeah right.....except us.
Then the Coup de grace...wow:
Quote:
Through the two great errors, the immortality of the soul and Sunday sacredness, Satan will bring the people under his deceptions. While the former lays the foundation of spiritualism, the latter creates a bond of sympathy with Rome. The Protestants of the United States will be foremost in stretching their hands across the gulf to grasp the hand of spiritualism; they will reach over the abyss to clasp hands with the Roman power; and under the influence of this threefold union, this country will follow in the steps of Rome in trampling on the rights of conscience.
Is it possible to humbly follow one’s own religion with going out of one’s way to attack the religion of another? Asking for a friend.
Yep, Spiritualism. The doctrine that we don’t really die, we just go to heaven as a spirit. Except the Bible doesn’t say that. They twist and turn texts of course.
And because of spiritualism, we have purgatory, prayers to saints, the occult, witchcraft, people seeking to contact the dead, all lies. Everyone a lie.
The Bible says ONLY GOD is immortal. See Timothy. The dead in Christ sleep until the great day when the graves will open.
They will quote texts like to be absent from the body and all that ......but it’s all bad theology. Paul does want to be with Christ and absent from this awful corrupted body......but when? At the second coming. When this corruptible puts on incorruption.
She’s right again....all Christians believe in life after death and Sunday a holy day...
Too bad the Bible teaches neither and they will be ripe for Satan’s deceptions. Just like Saul was deceived when he went to consult the witch of Endor. He thought he saw Samuel. He didn’t see Samuel. The Bible says he PERCEIVED he saw Samuel.
He saw a dark spirit impersonating Samuel.
Mess around with seeking familiar spirits and you are ripe for deception. that’s why the penalty in the OT for consulting familiar spirits was DEATH. God said DEATH to anyone who seeks to contact the dead.
And the church of Rome has people not just contacting dead.....but praying to them.

I thought this was a forum to discuss doctrines apologetics. How we gonna discuss doctrines that we believe in without comparing them to what others believe in?
All cultic Adventist spam
All day.
As opposed to Roman Catholic cult spam.
As a Catholic, we know Christianity didn’t exist until Luther and created all 40,000 versions of Protestantism.
White speaks the same heretical Gnosticism that Eve spoke in the Garden...”We will be like God.”
100 years ago, Ellen White woke up under Daniel’s 4th Beast authority (Rome) and looked at her (Antichrist) Pope Gregory calendar and said, I think I’ll believe Beasts and Antichrists today..
If they did not see Samuel, why do the scriptures say this in 1 Samuel 28?
Why are you bothering me by bringing me up like this?” Samuel asked.
≈===================================================
The scriptures do not tell us that it was spirit impersonating him.
Try again...
The Passover Lamb is simple.
SDAs just don’t get Him.
Seriously you all are in need of remedial Bible instruction ... NOW for the reallllly slow ... our so called Sunday would be the ‘day’ after the 7th day of ‘rest’ or the 8th day ... (which means ‘new beginning’ ) by the Heavenly Father.. What Ellen was willingly ignorant of was that a ‘day with the Lord, is as a thousand years’ ... Little Peter instruction there for those willingly ignorant ...
The eight day is the day in which ‘the Adam’ was formed... What does ‘the Adam’ mean in Hebrew? You all puff yourself, and are completely ignorant as to what the modern so called ‘sunday’ literally stands for way back in Genesis ... what is literally the meaning of ‘the Adam’.... hint it means to show ‘blood in the face’... look it up in the Strongs... IF you are able!!!!!!!

The scriptures say they consulted a medium, the witch of Endor. She called “UP” Samuel and they “Perceived” it was Samuel.
I don’t think it was mickey mouse they saw.
And why did they have to call “UP” Samuel. Demons are “down” there....Samuel was asleep in his grave. Just like Daniel would be and David “for david has not yet ascended”..etc.
There are 3 people we know of in heaven by name. Enoch, translated alive. Elijah, translated alive, and finally Moses. God buried Moses and refused to let him see the promised land.
But little did Moses know God was gonna resurrect him BODY and all and take him to the real promised land.
And we know this because Jesus met with Moses and Elijah on the Mt. Transfiguration and in the book of Jude, we read about a dispute between Satan and the Lord over the “BODY” of Moses.
Probably Satan saying....hey, you can’t take Moses to heaven, there has been no atonement for sin yet.
God probably said...don’t worry buddy I can write a check now and cash it later..and at the cross, God cashed the check.
Now, there were 500 the Bible says who were resurrected after Jesus was. 500, we don’t know who they were...........perhaps people like John the Baptist, etc. And they are apparently in heaven...and the key word again?
RESURRECTED. Not some ghost that departs at death.
You people been watching too much hollywood movies. Study the Bible for goodness sakes. The dead sleep until that great day.
Didn’t someone in your earlier post bring up the fact that SDA believes Jesus is Michael? And didn’t you refute that, and now you say it ...” in the book of Jude, we read about a dispute between Satan and the Lord...”. You say the Lord and not Michael, soo, which is it?
FYI, you don’t discuss, you give your belief then you poo poo all others, then you attack personally. You come across as extremely condescending. I don’t know anything about SDA, but I read these types of posts and watch some YT videos to try to understand others’ beliefs. Your condescension and extreme anti-Catholicism helps no one. There’s my 2 cents.
Strike Three !
.
You are OUT!
HA!!
