Anti-Adventist, Anti-Bible, Adventist Preachers
This Author has written and posted almost 100 Websites, but this could be the saddest of them all!! Many years ago, Ellen White was shown in vision that, just before the end of time, SDA Ministers would rise up and fight against the Church. She was even shown the exact Doctrines and issues that these Anti-Adventist, Adventist Ministers would attack! If not for the fact that souls could be lost because of these ministers, it would be laughable to see these bumbling Baffons at work.
"Worst False Adventist Preacher EVER!"
In 1985, I put on a pair of sun glasses and secretly slipped in the back door of the Holiday Inn Meeting Room in East Ridge Tennessee. Why the secrecy? Because one of the most famous Anti-Adventist, former SDA Ministers in America was speaking, and I wanted NO ONE to think I supported him. I have a policy of not mentioning names, so we'll call him Minister "X". It was reported throughout Adventism that he was "Very Charismatic," so I wanted to see for myself. Knowing it is foolish to "tread on the Devils playground," I prayed that God's Spirit would be with me and help me to see the Truth. The man was PITIFUL!! Possibly the most boring non-sense I'd EVER heard! As the meeting was closing, I slipped out early picking up some of his literature that was displayed in the hall. Having read what Mrs. White was shown about specific Doctrines and issues that would be attacked by the "Bright Lights (Ministers) that would Go Out," you can imagine my shock when I read this former Minister's "Three Complaints Against Adventists!" The 3 Complaints are even more shocking because, before his departure from the Faith, Minister X had written books defending the Spirit of Prophecy. Following are his Complaints:
1 - Sanctuary Doctrine - The Minister said the Adventist position on the Sanctuary was completely false. He listed some pitiful logic that has since become stale arguments hurled about by other ministers that have a beef with Mrs. White.
2- Adventist Church NOT Remnant Church - The minister said SDA Church was no different than all Churches. He said there was nothing that set the Church apart and that God had no more interest in it than all other churches.
3- Attack the Testimonies - The minister said Ellen White suffered from "Mental Problems" brought on by her injuries as a child. He said she may've been sincere, but she was wrong on many things. Ellen White was shown that former ministers "attacking the Testimonies would be a sign we are close to the end."
Former Expert on Ellen White?
Anyone casually reading the Spirit of Prophecy knows Ellen White singled out these 3 attacks as signs that the end is drawing near. It almost looks like Minister X was sitting around one day thinking to himself, "I want to be Satan's #1 False Minister in the last days! I want to brutally attack God's Church! I don't want to be just a Run-of-Mill False Minister! I want to be the Worst of the Worst!! So, I'm going to search through the Bible and Mrs. Whites Visions about Last-Day False Preachers, find what God said these Evil Preachers will do and say, and then I want to do and say EXACTLY those things!" Now of course we do not contend that Minister "X" did such a thing, but, we do suggest he was under some kind of "Strong Delusion!" Following is what we suggest probably happened:
"God Shall Send Them Strong Delusions"
We have no idea what went through Minister X's mind when he decided to turn against God's Church. Many, like Dudley Canright in the late 1800s, do so because they have a desire for greatness. Many have a beef with the Church Officials because they feel they were passed over for a promotion. Some, because someone hurt their feelings. For some it's simply a desire for attention. And, according to Paul, many want to surround themselves with admirers and followers. Probably for "Minister X," it was all of the above.
As for the "Strong Delusion" part, let's read what Paul said on this. Keep in mind that 2Thessalonians 2 is all about, "Last-Day Delusions." Writing about "That Wicked One (Antichrist)," Paul wrote, "And with all deceiveableness of unrighteousness in them that perish, because they received not the love of the Truth, that they mght be saved! And for this cause God shall send them STRONG DELUSIONS, that they should believe a lie, That they might be damned who believed not the Truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness" (2Thess.2:10-12)!
This pretty much sums it up! Minister X was either deluded on his own, deluded by the Powers of Darkness, or, God made sure that Minister X exposed himself by forgetting those 3 Last-Day Delusions Ellen White predicted would come. We suggest that God, in His mercy to His people, always makes sure the Anti-Adventist Ministers make blundering errors. This author is 70 years old and has NEVER seen even one of these former SDA Ministers make a speech, write a book, or write an article that didn't contain blatant and obvious error. Anyone who had casually read any of the Spirit of Prophecy, or, for that matter, the Bible, can easily see through the arguments present by these former Adventist Ministers. But for those who feel deprived and enslaved by the SDA Church, Minister X and his fellow Adventist Attackers offer exactly what they want!
Minister "W"
We could fill this whole Website with rediculas, laughable quotes from former Adventist Ministers. The quotes are not laughable, however, because Satan uses these Bafoons to send Souls to destruction. Minister "W" and Minister "X" made their exits at about the same time. Chattanooga Tennessee has a TV Show that specializes in what it calls "Exposing Cults" and promoting "Orthodox Christianity." Ministers "X" and "W" appeared on this show for the purpose of exposing the SDA Church as a Cult. The babbling of the moderator and Ministers "X" and "W" was painfully pitiful. Reversed truths mixed with gross error would pretty much sum up the whole show.
Minister W's Quotes
Minister "W" wrote a book, and again, in keeping with policy, we will not give the title of the book. We will say, however, that it was a book directly attacking Ellen White. Following are some quotes that give evidence that Minister "W" had pretty much abandoned his belief in the Bible even before he started his book.
"Free Thinkers"
"Freethinkers have always gotten into trouble. In the time of Moses, if anyone started a fire on his own to enjoy a cup of hot herb tea on Sabbath, he was stoned, and not in the modern sense of the word either."
Now, is Minister "W" making fun of Ellen White, or Moses? Worse yet, he's mocking God!! Who told Moses that the man gathering sticks on Sabbath must be "Stoned to death?"
"Sabbath Flea Market"
"If he (a Freethinker) wandered around in the local swapmeet on Sabbath in the days of Nehemiah he might run the risk of having his beard pulled or his toupee disrupted."
This quote is a continuation of Minister "W's" "Freethinker" statement, further mocking the Bible and Nehemiah. Nehemiah was stopping the Jews from allowing foreign nations to set up markets to sell their goods outside Jerusalem on Sabbath. Of course he is implying that Nehemiah was out of line for stopping the flagrant disregard for Sabbath breaking.
"Withhold a Few Shekles of Tithe"
"Even in the New Testament times, if Ananias kept out a few shekels from the tithe to pay the rent, he was told by the local divine to drop dead--which he did."
Another continuation from Minister "W" concerning "Freethinkers."
Does this sound like a man who believes the Bible? A bigger question is, why would a man write such foolishness if he wants us to trust him over and above Ellen White who has demonstrated proof positive that she'd received visions, dreams, and messages form God? Mrs. White revealed medical information that Science wouldn't discover until 100 years later. Poor Minister "W" is writing foolishness that is really mocking the Bible and God!
We could go on and quote many such foolish and Blasphemus passages from Minister "W's" book, but it would be a waste of time and space!
Plagerism Charges
The vast majority of Minister W's book is made up of attempts to show that Mrs. White "Plagiarized" almost everything she wrote. He'd show quotes from other books, then show quotes from Mrs. White. Many of the "copied" works she wrote were not even close to being the same. But, this Author is not the least concerned if EVERYTHING she wrote was copied. Some how she knew what to "Copy" and what not to copy. For example, concerning the medical "quotes," could a girl with a 3rd Grade education know which medical information was correct and which was bad? For example, during her day the Medical Doctors were all over the place on treatments. Some of the best Doctors in the world were doing things that caused more harm than good for their patients. How did Ellen know which Doctors to "Copy?"
The same is true for Bible Doctrine. During the reformation, the Reformers disagreed on many Doctrines. During Ellen's lifetime prominent Preachers were all over the spectrum. Some believed in a Rapture, while others opposed it. Some believed in Immortality of the Soul, while others did not. Most believed in Sunday Sacredness, while a few kept the Sabbath. How could a girl with only a 3rd Grade education know what is truth; know who to "Copy?" She absolutely could not, unless, a Higher Power told her! And a Higher Power did absolutely!!
Today's Anti-Adventist SDA Preachers
Again, no names will be mentioned, but in the Collegedale, Chattanooga area, there are whole Churches that have taken up the work of Ministers "X" and "W." There's one difference, however. The Pastors of these Churches are not Boring Bafoons preaching sermons packed with anti-Biblical nonsense. These Ministers are "Smooth-Talking" and truly Charismatic! They're the Best of the Best at making their Anti-Adventist rhetoric sound as if it comes straight from the Word of God. Of course it does NOT, but unless the lesteners have their Bibles open and are paying very close attention, they'll be fooled. Their main focus is to make their congregations "Feel Good;" make them think that Ellen White and True Adventism are too strict; out of step with modern society and culture. In other words, to put a nice neat face on it, "If it feels good, do it!" "If it tastes good, eat it or drink it!" Jesus Love You JUST the way You are, so ya don't need to change anything!" There's nothing You can do or say that will make Jesus love You any more or any less!!"
And where will this fast moving, Feel Good Theology take the Seventh day Adventist Church? Exactly where this same Theology from Satan took the original Early Church 2000 years ago! Exactly where it took the Churches soon after the Reformation. If we want the "Third Angel's Message" to be reversed, just lesten to these "Smooth Talking, Silver-Tongued Preachers of Darkness!" A large portion of the SDA Church is doing exactly this! Satan would have the SDA Church head straight back into Babylon, and our "Do Nothing," "Smooth-Talking" Ministers are doing his bidding!
LET'S NOT!!!
Unless we take a stand, the Seventh day Adventist Church will look no different from the modern Churches that have cast aside God's Commandments. Let's Not Do It!!!
Thank you Dear Reader, Thanks for Your time. Let's pray that God's People stand for Truth!!
Yours in Christ
Carlton Martin
