Blondies Expose'
Part 3
Ill point out some facts that will help each of you to be able to discern what is 100% purely biblical as opposed to damnable heresies!
Wake up people! Quit calling that which is unholy ;holy!
Beware my beloveds.
The wolves come in sheeps clothing! Satan comes as light!
Why have I come up with this series on cults? Its not like you cant get this information online but since you are here I do sincerely hope you apply yourself to knowing the difference between truth and error! Many run to and fro and satan is roaming around to devour the naive and unlearned . I hope you stay with me throughout my series. I have quite a bit to cover because there are many damnable heretical churches .
Peter described such false teachers in 2 Peter 2, �But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.�
Jesus often spoke of false teachers and false prophets. He described how the last days would be characterized by a increase in false teachers. He said in Matthew 24:11, �And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.�
2nd Corinthians 11:13-15 God warns us:'For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.'
'For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.'

I have putting forth many factual posts about the seventh day adventists! The ONLY person to comment is a SDA ! Why would a true follower stay with a cult ? The answer is obvious isnt it?
SEVENTH DAY ADVENTISTS should have repented ages and ages ago on this one precept alone:
Seventh Day Adventism believe that the writings of Ellen G. White are inspired by God and could be put alongside the Bible.
That just one of the heresies. JUST ONE is enough to encourage a TRUE FOLLOWER of the REAL CHRIST to turn from and COME OUT OF HER!!!!!
Dont you find it enlightening when people tell you they know Jesus but yet they stay in a cult full of wolves? Why would a sheep hang out with wolves? They surely wouldnt would they? Instead a sheep EXPOSES and strongly REBUKES the vain babblings of wolves!

Here are a few bullet points I grabbed online. Its a clear guideline of what to look for when you research a church. It only takes one of these errors to knock a "church" out of the TRUE CHURCH OF CHRIST FOLLOWERS. Stay away from ANY THAT QUALIFY from the terms below.
a. Authoritarianism: According to Jeremiah 5:31, false teachers �rule by their own authority.� Quoted is Earl Paulk who stated, �Man has no right to private interpretation of the Word of God apart from those whom God sets in the Church as spiritual teachers and elders.� In other words, the average person sitting on the pew has no right to interpret Scripture. Only those like himself whom God has set in the church. There�s a Greek word for such teaching and it is the word �hogwash.�
b. What�s His Track Record: The Bible is clear about unfulfilled prophecies and many of the modern day false prophets prophesy events that don�t always come true. A prophesy of a true prophet of God always come to pass.
c. What Do They Prophesy: True prophets are often unpopular because they insist on telling people what they don�t want to hear, whereas the false prophet specializes in giving the people what they want.
d. They Are Man Centered: Isaiah 29:16 describes how the false prophet turns things upside down and around so as if to say they are the potter rather than the clay. False teachers always self and man-centered.
e. They Are Anti-Historical: Jeremiah 6:16 spoke of the how the false prophets mock the ancient paths.
f. They Are Greedy: Like Simon Magus in Acts 8, they are motivated by gain and greed.
g. They Present Themselves As Mediators Between God & Man: They see themselves as having special influence with God and the link between God and man.

This will be the last commentary to include the SDA. The reader has enough info to make an educated biblically centered conclusion.
I pray you seek out truth and weigh everything you read and hear against God Word. Amen
Are you aware that the early church did not consider the letters from the apostles to be included in scripture? The scriptures Jesus and the apostles talk about is strictly the old testament, and some of the things they say are in direct opposition to the old testament. The circumcision was never done away with in the old testament, does that make Paul a false teacher? Or was there continued revelation that was revealed to the apostles? In the bible, God is calling His people out of Babylon until the last days, that means we will be in confusion until the last days. He keeps sending reformers to lead us out of darkness. Maybe Ellen White was a reformer, maybe she wasn't, but there will be reformers coming. Our sons will see visions, and our daughters will prophesy. When they come and try to break us out of our dearly held traditions, don't ridicule them for going against what you THINK the bible says, study and see if there is any light in their words. I challenge you to read The Great Controversy or Desire of Ages and tell me what you think.
Again, Jesus hung out with wolves all the time. He even referred to Samaritans as dogs. He ate with pharisees, the group that ended up crucifying Him. We're supposed to flee from sin and lust, not flee from wolves.
Again, prophecy is not infallible in the bible. Paul says that prophecy will cease, knowledge with fail. The bible has many, many examples of prophets who lied, or usurped, or were cowards and doubters, or their prophecies were contingent on a reaction from people.
1 Kings 13
11Now there dwelt an old prophet in Bethel; and his sons came and told him all the works that the man of God had done that day in Bethel: the words which he had spoken unto the king, them they told also to their father. 12And their father said unto them, What way went he? For his sons had seen what way the man of God went, which came from Judah. 13And he said unto his sons, Saddle me the donkey. So they saddled him the donkey: and he rode thereon, 14And went after the man of God, and found him sitting under an oak: and he said unto him, Art thou the man of God that camest from Judah? And he said, I am. 15Then he said unto him, Come home with me, and eat bread. 16And he said, I may not return with thee, nor go in with thee: neither will I eat bread nor drink water with thee in this place: 17For it was said to me by the word of the LORD, Thou shalt eat no bread nor drink water there, nor turn again to go by the way that thou camest. 18He said unto him, I am a prophet also as thou art; and an angel spake unto me by the word of the LORD, saying, Bring him back with thee into thine house, that he may eat bread and drink water. But he lied unto him. 19So he went back with him, and did eat bread in his house, and drank water.
20And it came to pass, as they sat at the table, that the word of the LORD came unto the prophet that brought him back: 21And he cried unto the man of God that came from Judah, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Forasmuch as thou hast disobeyed the mouth of the LORD, and hast not kept the commandment which the LORD thy God commanded thee, 22But camest back, and hast eaten bread and drunk water in the place, of the which the LORD did say to thee, Eat no bread, and drink no water; thy carcase shall not come unto the sepulchre of thy fathers. 23And it came to pass, after he had eaten bread, and after he had drunk, that he saddled for him the donkey, to wit, for the prophet whom he had brought back. 24And when he was gone, a lion met him by the way, and slew him: and his carcase was cast in the way, and the donkey stood by it, the lion also stood by the carcase. 25And, behold, men passed by, and saw the carcase cast in the way, and the lion standing by the carcase: and they came and told it in the city where the old prophet dwelt.
a. Authoritarianism: According to Jeremiah 5:31, false teachers �rule by their own authority.� Quoted is Earl Paulk who stated, �Man has no right to private interpretation of the Word of God apart from those whom God sets in the Church as spiritual teachers and elders.� In other words, the average person sitting on the pew has no right to interpret Scripture.

Adventists don't do this in the least. Everyone is encouraged to study their bible, and then we have discussion groups every week. And with your claim that Adventists have their own bible, that is simply not true. I've personally seen 2 Adventists with the "clear word" bible. It was written by an Adventist, but it is not even close to an endorsed translation of the bible.
b. What�s His Track Record: The Bible is clear about unfulfilled prophecies and many of the modern day false prophets prophesy events that don�t always come true. A prophesy of a true prophet of God always come to pass.
^Prophecy is not infallible in the bible. Paul says that prophecy will cease, knowledge with fail. The bible has many, many examples of prophets who lied, or usurped, or were cowards and doubters, or their prophecies were contingent on a reaction from people.
c. What Do They Prophesy: True prophets are often unpopular because they insist on telling people what they don�t want to hear, whereas the false prophet specializes in giving the people what they want.
Adventist beliefs are extremely unpopular, derided, and accused of heresy by most people.
d. They Are Man Centered: Isaiah 29:16 describes how the false prophet turns things upside down and around so as if to say they are the potter rather than the clay. False teachers always self and man-centered.
Also not usable as a description of Adventists. Again, if we wanted to be self-serving and popular, we would not hold beliefs that are so unpopular.
e. They Are Anti-Historical: Jeremiah 6:16 spoke of the how the false prophets mock the ancient paths.
If anything, Adventists are too historical. We're accused of being old testament, old covenant Christians.
f. They Are Greedy: Like Simon Magus in Acts 8, they are motivated by gain and greed.
Also not usable as a description of Adventists, we have internationally recognized aid and outreach organizations all over the world. Definitely not a rich denomination.
g. They Present Themselves As Mediators Between God & Man: They see themselves as having special influence with God and the link between God and man.
There is no mediator but Christ between God and man.
