Comment on Defining Adventism: A poll by Maxine.
In response to Frank Jarmans comment I say Amen and Amen.
frank Jarman: Our church was never supposed to have a book of “Fundamental Beliefsâ€. In doing so, we have created a situation where the “truthâ€, can be changed every 5 years.Sis. White said that if rings were allowed to come into the church, every form of jewelry would also come in.And this we have seen.20 years ago, you could tell and adventist just by looking at them.Today, we are no longer a “perculiar peopleâ€.We look just like everyone else.And why not, we have courted the Catholics and want to be like them.They march in our conference sessions and preach in our pulpits.They teach in our schools and have taken over our hospitals.They have changed our logo, (from the 3 angels message), to the flickering flame, which shows that we, (the SDA church), are under the same umbrella as all the other churches, cause all the churches now have a variation of t he flickering flame.Why has all this happened?BEcause we no longer consider the catholic church to be the beast of Revelation.We are called upon to point out the “man of sinâ€.How can we point him out when we are in bed with him?Truth is no longer accepted to be preached in the church, unless one is preaching “smooth thingsâ€, sermons that do not point out sin. The SDA church has apostasized from the truth; as ancient Israel did; we no longer believe the prophet, and God will deal with us as he did them.
