To Jovial:

In response to your post, I do apologize for my oversight.  Its not that I can't back up what I posted; to the contrary, there is so much materials and source documents and information, I chose brevity over documentation as it becomes a problem to keep the post brief.  In my reply, I will share just a small portion of the supportive information.  My negligence, however, quite to the contrary, does not change the truth of the matter in any way, shape or form.

I have more than fifty years of experience, education, and dealings with the likes of the SDA's, JW's, Mormons, and an almost endless number of so-called "Remnant churches" seeking to steal sheep.

Everything that I have posted concerning the SDA's is TRUE and easily documented.  Anyone that wishes to question my posts, particularly the SDA Cult, can easily verify this from the list that follows.

To be fair about it, I have been far more generous, in my remarks, than others, which include former SDA's, academics, and theologians.  I have an earned M.A. Degree in Christian Apologetics, and as such, I have two years of formal education on cults and religious groups passing themselves off as mainstream Christian; and of which the SDA cult is one of them, despite what they might have to say.  Their reputation is well known for its ability to lead Christians astray into believing they are mainstream Christian.  They are NOT!

Your post reflects an absence of comprehensive understanding of orthodox Christian beliefs from that of those attempting to appear Christian.  In a world of pluralism and tolerance, many people believe everyone that calls themselves a Christian is so, and only discover later the difference is nothing but a veneer after comparing belief systems, getting into the meat of the subject.  The SDA teaches a False gospel.  It is as plain as day, when you do due diligence to get beneath the surface image.

Pastor Bob does not post anything that is not Biblical or historically accurate and not validated from various methods of investigation.  I have nothing to sell, but the truth.  I would not post untruthful information knowingly, because my reputation as a pastor, and as a scholar are too valuable to me.  This does not mean I am perfect.  I only wish that would be the case.  However, I will not allow any opportunity to exalt truth go unanswered.  Here is a small list of internet sites that go into greater detail on the SDA heresy and deceptions:

Previously, above and in one of my "SDA Aberration" posts, I mentioned the name of Dale Ratzlaff.  He is a former 4th generation SDA.  He was a SDA pastor for 13 years, and now leads a ministry for those having left or are transitioning out of the SDA cult.  The people he ministers to are pastors and former laity in the SDA church/cult.  He ministers to those in need of de-programming from the instilled SDA "fear".  He is a graduate of Pacific Union College, Andrews University/Seminary, both SDA institutions of higher learning.  He also taught at the SDA Monterey Bay Academy.  His ministry also publishes the magazine 'Proclamation' which can be read on line at his web site "Life Assurance Ministries", or by mail subscription.

I can assure the reader that my posts are not accusations, but in fact, they are statements of fact about the SDA cult.  Since you referred to Ellen G. White in the present tense, which suggests to me you are unaware of the fact Ellen G. White died in July of 1905.

Just remember, Truth can stand the test of investigation.  I haven't trusted the SDA's since August of 1965, when as a pastor of 3 rural Methodist churches, I lost a church family to the lies of the SDA movement that set up shop in a nearby town.  They parted ways over a SDA evangelist deceiving the wife about Adventism.  Several years later she committed suicide by alcohol and pills, leaving two small children without a mother.

God bless,

Pastor Bob
