Why I left the Seventh-day Adventist Church and became a Roman Catholic

My personal journey and advice to anyone searching. Respectful comments and dialogue are welcome.

[@joshuag.4873]

Thank you for sharing! I also grew up SDA and converted to Catholicism. Went through RCIA in 2009 and was confirmed at the Great Vigil of Easter in 2010. Grateful for the SDA upbringing, but blessed to have been brought to the fullness of the Truth!

Welcome home Alexander. Just a note: You have not joined the Roman Catholic Church but rather the Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church. It includes about 21 lithurgical rites, and yours (like mine) is the Roman one.

I never saw love on my parents words an actions, they didn't have light in them and there wasn't any fruit of the spirit. I never saw them reading a Bible. I bought my mother an audio bible so she can listen an a Bible but she's not interested her traditions are more important an that does save you.

I have nothing against the catholic people that truly love Jesus an walk the talk cause I know there going to be saved.

As a Seventh-day Adventist, I didn't see any reason in this video stated for your absence of the seventh-day Adventist church. The reason we may criticize the catholic church is because we do believe that they are teaching the wrong things. We are in no way against the catholic members but against the beliefs of the church. The catholic church has edited the bible many times to suit them. the original catholic church was all about paying for your sins to be taken away. it was created by greedy people who wanted money. they said that if you bought a paper you would go to heaven if you didn't you would be doomed to hell. they have also changed multiple of the te commandments including the "no other gods before me" law and the "honor the Sabbath to keep it holy" they have also changed the truth about death.

[@niakoch9390]

You believe in sola scriptura- bible alone, catholics don´t, because sola sciptura is not biblical. Nowhere in the bible does it say "you shall only read the bible to know how to practice the christian faith" or "we as the apostles are writing down how to practice your faith after we are gone ". The biblical canon was put together by the catholic church, so I stick with them on how to interpret the bible, what books belong in the bible and how to practice the faith. The bible didn´t even have chapter and verses before catholic monks and priests defined them What the bible does say is: the church is the pillar and foundation of truth (1 Tim 3:15) and the scriptures are inspired and USEFUL/PROFITABLE (2 Tim 3:16-17). It also says to hold on to the tradition taught either by word of mouth or by letter (2 Thess 2:15). It also says to stay away from those who do not follow the traditions tought by the apostles. (2 Thess. 3:6) And therefore is is not only important to know the bible but to look at what the apostles tought the early christians outside of scripture. And there are really interesting writings from like Eusebius of Caesarea, Ignatius of Antioch, Polycarp. The bible also says in several chapters how we need someone with authority to interpret the text so we can understand it: Mark 4:33-34; Acts 8:30-31; 2 Pet. 1:20 + 3:16 Jesus gave this authority to his apostles and to Peter. Also read Eph 4,11-15

We are not under the Mosaic Law but under “the law of Christ” (see Galatians 6:2). If the Law is still binding on us today, then it has not yet accomplished its purpose-it has not yet been fulfilled. If the Law, as a legal system, is still binding on us today, then Jesus was wrong in claiming to fulfill it and His sacrifice on the cross was insufficient to save.

Jesus kept sabbath?? Have you ever read the Bible? Mark 2:27-28, Jesus said "The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath". This means that the Sabbath was not for man to serve the Sabbath. if you believe the ENTIRE Bible, then you will see that in Ephesians 2:8-9 we are SAVED by our faith, not of ourselves or our works.

I used to be catholic but when I was 10 years old I decided to read the word of God because I felt wrong everytime I will kneel down and pray to all those images. It felt even more uncomfortable to talk to a stranger about my problems and wait for him to decide to forgive me. After I left the catholic church and I went into a seventh day adventist church I felt peace because there were no contradictions to the word of God. If it's in the Bible I want it if it is not I don't need it. In time, one of the ""fathers" came to me because my aunt wanted me to come back to the catholic church. He asked me why I left the church? I told him all I read in the Bible and since God knew how I desperately wanted the truth, I like to believe that He reassured me of my path and didnt want anyone to mislead me at a young age because that "father" surprised me by telling me that I was in the right place. Then he said something that I never understood, when I told him if he knows the truth he should get out, he answered that it's different for him, he made a promise and his life could be in danger. Furthermore I just want to say that following God is not just about religion is a lifestyle, studying the word of God every day with a humble heart no matter about our traditions or what we feel because our hearts can be deceitful, we have to be open to the idea that we might just have it all wrong and if God shows us the way, we should leave everything behind and just follow Him. We should all be in search of truth! God bless you all! 💗

Edivette, you need the right lance to read the Bible as and understand.All the Catholics teachings is in the Bible.But always remember that the tradition was there before the Bible.People will never understand or see the Catholic teachings untill they have the eyes to see or maybe untill the father wants them to see and digest the word in that manner.I love the way God's words is kept so holy for only certain eyes to see so that mankind will continue to find, make accusation, do continuous conclusions and judgements untill one day they will come to know the truth in the one true Roman Catholic Apostolic church which established by Christ and headed by Peter and continues until today with Pope Francis.

[@edivettez1642]

@@richardpotihin5794 The Word of God is Holy and we need to discern from the holy and common things such as traditions. His Word is meant for everyone not just for a few. He is not a God of confusion, He wants all to be saved and no one to perish. 1 Timothy 2:4 who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. The truth never changes for its Author is the same yesterday, and today, and forever. All His wisdom and power are available to those who believe and trust Him. When the greatness and infinity of God are perceived, the utter foolishness of idolatry is clearly seen even by a 10 year old child just like I did at that age. Even without knowing the revelation, men have enough common sense, if any, to realize that idols made by man's hands are not appropriate objects for worship. What virtue could there be in putting as object's of worship the things made by the hands of man? Something similar to what would happen if the Creator worshiped what He has created. Sadly we still see this pagans traditions today. As for me, I will serve and worship only God because He created the heavens and the earth and me, only He is worthy of worship. I will not worship any of His creations. Romans 1 18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. 19 For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. 20 For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. 21 For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Claiming to be wise, they became fools, 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things. Exodus 20 4 You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. 5 You shall not bow down to them or worship them, for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, 6 but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.

[@DonKilluninati]

The Seventh Day Adventist False Religion: A False Religion: The 7th Day Adventists were originally called Millerites because their group was founded by William Miller, a false prophet who predicted Jesus would return in either 1843 or 1844. When Miller’s prediction of Christ’s second coming failed to come to pass, the Millerites disbanded in dismay; this event became known as the “Great Disappointment.” But then a couple of Miller’s followers claimed to have visions (lies to support their false religion) to account for the failed prophecy. Instead of coming to earth, Jesus had entered the heavenly temple-thus, Miller was right, after all, they said, except his prophecy had a spiritual fulfillment instead of a physical one. One of the seers who covered for Miller was 17-year-old Ellen G. Harmon, who had her first of 2,000 purported visions in a prayer meeting shortly after Miller’s disgrace. With her vision, Ellen soon became a beacon of hope for disillusioned Millerites. She united Adventist factions and became the spiritual guide for a new religious group. Right from the start the Seventh Day Adventists were a false religion with false prophets and false biblical teachings! Other problematic doctrines in Seventh-day Adventism include the teaching that Satan is the “scapegoat” and will bear believers’ sins (The Great Controversy, p. 422, 485)-this is the opposite of what the Bible says about who bore our sins whom is Jesus (1 Peter 2:21-24). Seventh-day Adventism also identifies Jesus as Michael the archangel (source: Jude 1:9 of their Clear Word Bible, published by Review and Herald Publishing Association, 1994)-a doctrine that denies the true nature of Christ, and teaches that Jesus entered a second phase of His redemptive work on October 22nd, 1844, as prophesied by Hiram Edson. The Clear Word Bible is the bible the Adventists created for themselves to support their false doctrines; it’s a Seventh-day Adventist paraphrase of the Bible that alters numerous verses to bring them in line with SDA doctrine. And, of course, the Adventist promotion of Sabbath-keeping as a primary doctrine goes against the teaching of Scripture on the matter (see Romans 14:5). Seventh-Day Adventism is a diverse movement, and not all SDA groups hold to all the doctrines mentioned above. But all Seventh-Day Adventists should seriously consider the following: a recognized prophetess in their church was a teacher of aberrant doctrine, and their church has its roots in the failed prophecies of William Miller. Due to the penchant of Adventists to accept extra-biblical revelation and the doctrinal issues mentioned above, one would strongly encourage believers to not get involved in Seventh-day Adventism. The Bible says suffer not a woman to teach (1 Timothy 2:12-15) contradicting Ellen G. White’s leadership; the Bible says that it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment (Hebrews 9:27-28) and that when unbelievers die they go to Hell as the wrath of God abides upon them (John 3:36; Revelation 21:8) and that unbelievers will lift up their eyes in Hell being in torment (Luke 16:19-31) and that Hell is a place “Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched (Mark 9:48); when you die you go to Heaven or Hell (John 3:36); there is no soul sleep for to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord (2 Corinthians 5:8)! The Bible states that there is no annihilationism, because you literally burn in Hell until the Great White Throne Judgment where unbelievers will be taken out of Hell, the book of their life will be read to them showing all their sins and their rejection of Jesus throughout their life and then they will be cast into the Lake of Fire (Revelation 20:11-15). The Bible also states that the Lake of Fire, like Hell, is also a place where humans will suffer torment forever (Revelation 14:9-11), that unbelievers will be cast into the Lake of Fire (Revelation 20:11-15) and that Satan, the Beast (the Antichrist) and the false prophet will be in the Lake of Fire for eternity (Revelation 19:20). The Bible states that Jesus is God (John 1:1-2; 1:14; 1 Timothy 3:16) and not the archangel Michael as the 7th Day Adventists claim; they have a false Jesus that cannot save them, as only the Biblical Jesus exists and the Bible says that He is God! The Bible states that Christians have a faith-based-salvation and not a works-based-salvation (Ephesians 2:8-9), which means the Seventh Day Adventists are trying to earn their way into Heaven, which they cannot work their way to Heaven: “Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity” (Matthew 7:21-23), hence they are heading to the very Hell they often lie about. The Adventists also disregard the Bible and instead use their Clear Word Bible, which was made by them to support their false doctrines. The Jehovah’s Witnesses do the same with their New World Translation. You either trust the Word of God, or the lies of the 7th Day Adventists. Yet another blunder by the 7th Day Adventists is that the Sunday service is the Mark of the Beast, while lets examine the verse that talks about the Mark of the Beast: “And he [the 2nd Beast, the False prophet] causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that has the Mark, or the name of the beast [the 1st Beast, the Antichrist], or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six (666).” Revelation 13:16-18 Nowhere in this verse does it state that Sunday service is the Mark of the Beast. Rather it states a few things about the Mark of the Beast: 1. It goes into our right hands and foreheads, like a bio-chip, microchip, electronic tattoo, etc. 2. It is connected to a cashless economy; how else can you stop everyone on earth from buying or selling? 3. and that if you do not have the Mark of the Beast you cannot buy or sell anything. So no the Mark of the Beast is not Sunday service! The 7th Day Adventists are a false religious cult whose leadership will take the Mark of the Beast to have access to their billions because they have been deceived about the Mark of the Beast. They will have their followers do the same and they will all be damned to the Lake of Fire for eternity!

It took me a few years to unlearn some false beliefs and prejudices about Catholics. Now I'm happy to finally be in the Church. I hope by now you've been able to enter fully into the sacramental life. All the best to you. ~Bill from Tampa

In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God. And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died-more than that, who was raised to life-is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. (Romans 8:26‭-‬28‭, ‬34 NIV) For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. Ephesians 2:8‭-‬10 NIV I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you to live in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel- which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God’s curse! As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let them be under God’s curse! (Galatians 1:6‭-‬9 NIV)

Welcome home to true Church. I love people who hate Roman Catholics. Because theirs is the Man made Church but Roman catholic is Apostolic Church.

[@lmirra6744]

Hi! 💗 I admire your sincerity in searching your heart and your journey of faith. Everyone's personal journey is different, and mine of course tells another story. Seventh-day Adventists do not teach us to hate Roman Catholics. I have many Catholic friends whom I love and I am really close with. Many of my other SDA friends have tons of Catholic friends too and we go along well. I never see Roman Catholics as an enemy to avoid but rather a brother/sister to care about and that's enough reason why we're evangelizing. Because we love our neighbors and we want them to know the truth. Now I won't say that SDAs know all the truth in the world and we're perfect, sinless or blameless and so on. No matter what church you claim to be, you're still a sinner and the same goes to SDA church members! But as a church, it's the only church that is the "closest" or most aligned to the Bible (that I have found so far). In the book of Daniel/Revelation, + historical facts, current news, and obvious characteristics, Rome (I believe) is still the fourth beast. Yet the people, individually they are not a beast on their own. Same goes to Jericho, Ninevah and other cities before in the Bible. Even though as a nation they were said to be enemies of God, in every individual hearts there are people who truly love God and these people were protected and accepted. I believe the same way with Roman Catholics. On the other hand, many SDAs are not living their faith too because of the world's pull and attraction. There are many distinctive truths that is enjoyable to talk about but I won't include it here 😆 Also, you mentioned about SDA being the remnant people. I do not know why people see the word "remnant" as something to be proud of or highly respected. The same goes to Israel, even if they were chosen as a nation, they were to bring forth the good news to their neighbors. Claiming to be the remnant is a heavy responsibility. We are to be God's witnesses to people around the world, and it is said that God's people will be persecuted for His name. Claiming to be the remnant people does not change the fact that we are all the same in God's eyes. No one is higher than the other. Yet we are to bring others to have the spirit of the remnant people which is proclaiming the truth and that Jesus is coming soon. You see, we're all looking for the truth. Many of the things you talked about in the video was a matter of "feelings." You don't "feel" connected, or you don't "feel" united. There are many reasons for you to not rely upon feelings only. Feelings are like waves, it goes up and down. One day you feel like praising God at the top of your lungs, and the other day you feel like there is no God at all. But choices are constant. That is why in the end, you'll only have to choose between obeying God's laws or men's laws. You'll see clearly which laws are established by men, and your choice will determine your faith. God bless!!

Kneeling is an act of worship??? No wonder there are no plumbers in my church.🤣 Sorry but thats just silly. You might want to ponder the following… History shows us that Jesus didn't leave us a bible, the apostles didn't tell us which books belong in the bible, the church fathers never agreed on the 27 books of the NT through the 4th century, not only did they not agree but their list of would-be NT canons were GROWING during this time. So, if it wasn't the Catholic/Orthodox church, guided by the Holy Spirit, that compiled the 27 books of the NT in the 5th century, just 75 years AFTER the council of Nicaea which began the Trinitarian doctrine and subsequent councils of Ephesus and Chalcedon, with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and preserved these scriptures by laboriously hand copying them over and over throughout the centuries before the invention of the printing press, the “rule of faith” for many, please tell us, show us, who did?

​@@jimmu2008no scripture supports your idea, no scripture talks of God changing the Sabbath day from Sabbath to Sunday, if there is any, kindly share, it was a decision of man (check on the history of Christianity and the change of Sabbath by the authority of the Roman Catholic church). All apostles kept the Sabbath holy as it is written in scripture including Jesus Himself who showed us an example. Luke 4:16, it was the custom of Jesus to worship in the synagogue every Sabbath, it was the custom of Paul too Acts 17:2-3. The scripture does not say we change the day of worship because of the resurrection, that interpretation is wrong based on human imagination, Jesus rose on the first day of the week and that was a remarkable event and when we are baptized and accept Him as our Lord and Saviour, we celebrate and acknowledge the power of His resurrection, Romans 6:1-5, it has nothing to do with the day of worship, we get into a new relationship, a new life of resurrection having buried the old life through His death. Read the following; Hebrews 4:9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. 4:10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. 4:11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief. This is the instruction found in the new testament, the Sabbath rest remains the way God ordained from the beginning, when He Himself rested, and invited us to rest from our 6-days labour. Exodus 8:11, Gen 2:1-3, Isaiah 58:13-14, there is a special blessing for those who will follow God's commands, especially keeping the Sabbath holy. Hope this helps, you have any questions?

Thank you for this! I’m a Catholic who was invited to a SDA church for Bible trivia a couple nights ago. Everybody there seemed really nice, but when I was handed a piece of paper with some of the information that we were going to play trivia on, I immediately noticed some historical inaccuracies that seemed a bit anti-Catholic. At first, I tried to assume the best because I was honored to meet new people and be invited to a church I had never been to…but my fears were confirmed when they started talking about the anti-Christ, and saying that the “church-empire” suppressed the Saints. It made me so sad, because during the time of the Roman Empire, the Catholic Church was actually a separate entity from the Roman Empire. Saints were banished from the Empire for not agreeing with the emperor at times, because they were defending the teachings of the Church. The Pope and the Emperor did not see eye to eye many times. These Saints were good and holy people who loved God and loved the Church. I got really uncomfortable, and I realized I couldn’t enjoy the game I was about to play if I already was noticing historical inaccuracies. So, I quietly left. I don’t think anybody there realized I was a Catholic.

Most new church are breaking and new poping up because of no authority and continuous individual interpretation of the Bible and false prophets of doom.You will never find a false prophesies or an interpretation that was proven wrong in Catholic church.The sacrament of reconciliation or forgiveness of sin is also instituted by Christ and not by men like you think.This was practice by prophets in history and now given to Peter and the church.Jesus Christ actually forgave the sinner,not the priest.It is one of the seven sacraments Christ gave his church on earth or his earthly kingdom to practise.Read your Bible well with open mind and you will understand.pls ask with open mind and we can help. The holy bible is one of the prove of the church fathers to all mankind.The trinity is another. The same reading heard on Sunday all over the world, the lord's prayer ,the cross in all churches and so forth. These are all Catholic decisions now practise in other churches.Some of the decisions and teachings were made by church fathers while the aposels were still around and were part of.

No disrespect at all, but I'm curious as to how Catholics can justify making Sunday the Holy day when it is made crystal clear in scripture that Saturday is to be reserved as the day of rest/worship (Leviticus 23:3, Exodus 31:14) and also justify intercessory prayer to saints as supported by Roman Catholic doctrine when it is stated that "the dead know nothing?" (Ecclesiastes 9:5)

[@Komisarz_Bart]

A very good question! It is true that the Old Testament speaks of a Sabbath that should be consecrated to God. God created the world for six days, and rested on the seventh day, Saturday. This should not be taken literally. God does not need to rest. The biblical author wanted to vividly tell us that every seven days a person should leave his job, rest and give glory to God. Pray, thank Him for His gifts, enjoy Him. The third commandment says, "Remember, keep the day holy." Literally: to keep the Sabbath. So why do we Catholics consider Sunday, the first day of the week, to be a holy day? There is one reason. The resurrection of the Lord Jesus! On the first day of the week, i.e. Sunday, Christ rose from the tomb. This is the most important event in history. That is why Sunday has become the most important day of Christ's disciples. The Risen Lord appeared to the Apostles in the Upper Room on Sunday. This is why Catholics "moved" the Sabbath to Sunday, the first day of the week, and called it "the Lord's day"

First of all Catholics celebrate church on Sunday because it's the Lord's day. The Lord resurrected from the dead on a sunday. The Sabbath is Saturday which is a Jewish law.. Celebrating the Sabbath is a Jewish tradition. I'm a Christian not a Jew I celebrate the Lord's Day the day he rose from the dead. And as for the saints it's the same thing as having a picture of your child or your grandma on your dining room desk you have a picture of the people you love because you love them and it reminds you of them. It is ridiculous to think that we worship saints or Mary. We honor them and we pray to them to pray for us just like we would ask a friend to pray for us. People want to act like we worship the wood the statue is carved of.. how insulting.. do you think we're idiots? As Catholics we understand that worship is reserved for God and Jesus and holy spirit alone but if you're a Seventh-Day Adventist you might not grasp that as I have found sda's to be intellectually shallow and ignorant of Christian history and Christian tradition which the Catholic church has held for over 2,000 years now..

[@entertainingstuff27]

@@maureenbanks3702 In my opinion the man made labels are irrelevant; whether something is Jewish, Catholic, Christian, doesn't matter. The only thing that matters is the question "what is God's will?" Are you saying that the ten commandments are only for Jews? Are you saying Catholics don't believe in the ten commandments? The foundation of all divisions of Christianity stem from the belief that Jesus Christ came to Earth and died to save us from sin. Jews do not believe this. It is entirely possible to have overlapping beliefs. Celebrating the day Christ rose from the dead is awesome! I think it is an important event to observe and celebrate. However, it is not a day we are COMMANDED by God to recognize unlike the holy day, the seventh day of the week, Saturday. As for your third point, I never said Catholics WORSHIP the saints. Praying to them is confusing to me because prayer is a form of communication for contacting a greater power (God himself.) It is made clear in scripture that prayer cannot be used to contact any dead human being because "the dead know nothing." Why pray to someone who has been dead for thousands of years, cannot see or hear you, and doesn't even know you exist? It is said many times throughout the Bible that no human being is greater than another. We should not be bowing down to each other or any image of each other. Regarding the statues, I would refer you to the 2nd commandment as well as the story of the fiery furnace. Perhaps it doesn't happen everywhere, but at the Catholic churches I've been to I have seen people kneel before statues of Mary and Peter and pray to them. According to scripture, this is blasphemy.

He is in the true Catholic Church. May you also repent and come to the true Catholic faith/Church. The early Christians were very much Catholic. Protestants claim to follow Jesus, but their personal lord and savior is Martin Luther, John Calvin, Ellen G. White, etc. with over 45,000 denominations and still growing. They don't even agree on one another on every level. JESUS ESTABLISHED HIS CHURCH Matthew 16:17-19 KJV 17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. 18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I WILL BUILD MY CHURCH; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. JESUS GAVE HIS APOSTLES AUTHORITY John 20:22-23 KJV 22 And when he had said this, HE BREATH UNTO THEM, and saith unto them, Receive ye THE HOLY GHOST: 23 Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained. Luke 9:1 KJV 9 Then HE called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases. Matthew 10:1 KJV 10 And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease. Matthew 28:18-20 KJV 18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen. All of the earliest Christians and early church fathers were Catholic through and through. Here are just some of the many quotes I can give. And I don't have to quote one sentence to try to rip it out of context and make it mean something that it doesn't. Again, you are being intellectually dishonest just to try to prove something you can't prove against all odds. EARLY CHURCH FATHERS WERE CATHOLIC: Augustine (393 A.D.) We must hold to the Christian religion and to communication in her Church, which is Catholic and which is called Catholic, not only by her own members but even by all her enemies. For when heretics or the adherents of schisms talk about her, not among themselves but with strangers, willy-nilly they call her nothing else but Catholic. For they will not be understood unless they distinguish her by this name which the whole world employs in her regard. ... If all men throughout the world were such as you most vainly accuse them of having been, what has the chair of the Roman church done to you, in which Peter sat, and in which Anastasius sits today. ... If the very order of the Episcopal order is to be considered, how much more, surely, truly, safely do we number them from Peter himself, to Whom, as to one representing the whole Church, the Lord said: ‘Upon this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of hell shall not conquor it.’ Peter was succeeded by Linus, Linus by Clement, Clement by Anicletus, Anecletus by Averistus… …In this succession, not a Donatist Bishop can be found. Cyril of Jerusalem (350 A.D.): The Church is called Catholic, then, because it extends over the whole world, from end to end of the earth, and because it teaches universally and infallibly each and every doctrine which must come to the knowledge of men, concerning things visible and invisible, heavenly and earthly, and because it brings every race of men into subjection to godliness, governors and governed, learned and unlearned, and because it universally treats and heals every class of sins, those committed with the soul and those with the body, and it possesses within itself every conceivable form of virtue, in deeds and in words and in the spiritual gifts of every description. ... And, if you ever are visiting in cities, do not inquire simply where the house of the Lord is for the others, sects of the impious, attempt to call their dens houses of the Lord, nor ask merely where the Church is, but where is the Catholic Church. For this is the name peculiar to this holy Church, the mother of us all, which is the spouse of our Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God. Lactantius (304-310 A.D.): [The Heretics], having lost the name of Christ, they have ceased to be Christians, and have put on human and foreign names. It is therefore, the Catholic Church alone which retains true worship. This is the fountain of truth, this the domicile of faith, this the temple of God. Whoever does not enter there, or whoever does not go out from here, he is a stranger to the hope of life and salvation. Pope Steven I (268 A.D.): And other heretics if they have parted themselves from the Church, can have nothing to do with its power and grace since all power and grace is settled in the Church, where presides presbyters [bishops] who possess both the power both of baptizing, and of imposing hands, and of ordaining. Cyprian of Carthage (251 A.D.): There speaks Peter, upon whom the Church would be built, teaching in the name of the Church and showing that even if a stubborn and proud multitude withdraws because it does not wish to obey, yet the Church does not withdraw from Christ. The people joined to the priest, and the flock clinging to their shepherd in the Church. You ought to know, then, that the bishop is in the Church and the Church in the bishops; and if someone is not with the bishop, he is not in the Church. They vainly flatter themselves who creep up, not having peace with the priest of God, believing that they are secretly in communion with certain individuals. For the Church, which is one and Catholic is not split nor divided, but is indeed united and joined by the cement of priests who adhere one to another. ... While the bond of concord remains and the indivisible sacrament of the Catholic Church continues, each Bishop disposes and directs his own work, as one who must give an account of his admiration to the Lord. Clement of Alexandria (202 A.D.): From what has been said then, it seems clear to me that the true Catholic Church, that which is really ancient is one. … We say therefore, that in substance, in concept, in origin, and in eminence, the ancient and Catholic Church is alone, gathering as it does into the unity of the one faith…those already chosen, those predestined by God who knew that before the foundation of the world, they would be just. Tertullian (200 A.D.): Where was Marcion, that shipmaster of Pontus, the zealous student of Stoicism? Where was Valentinus, the disciple of Platonism? For it is evident that those men lived not so long ago-in the reign of Antonius for the most part-and that they at first were believers in the doctrine of the Catholic Church, in the church of Rome under the papacy of the blessed Eleutherius, until on account of their ever restless curiosity, with which they even infected the brethren, they were more than once expelled. ... But if you are near Italy, you have Rome - from where our authority derives. How happy is that Church, on which apostles poured out their whole doctrine along with their blood, where Peter endured a passion like that of our Lord, where Paul was crowned with a death like John’s. Irenaeus (180 A.D.): But since it would be too long to enumerate in such a volume as this the successions of all the churches, we shall confound all those who, in whatever manner, whether through self-satisfaction or vainglory, or through blindness and wicked opinion, assemble other than where it is proper, by pointing out here the successions of the bishops of the greatest and most ancient church known to all, founded and organized at Rome by the two most glorious apostles, Peter and Paul -that church which has the tradition and the faith with which comes down to us after having been announced to men by the apostles. For with this Church, because of its superior origin, all churches must agree, that is, all the faithful in the whole world. And it is in her that the faithful everywhere have maintained the apostolic tradition. The Martyrdom of Polycarp (155 A.D.): And of the elect, he was one indeed, the wonderful martyr Polycarp, who in our days was an apostolic and prophetic teacher, bishop of the Catholic Church in Smyrna. For every word which came forth from his mouth was fulfilled and will be fulfilled. Ignatius of Antioch (110 A.D.) Let no one do anything of concern to the Church without the bishop. Let that be considered a valid Eucharist which is celebrated by the bishop or by one whom he ordains. Wherever the bishop appears, let the people be there; just as wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church. Heretics abstain from the Eucharist and from prayer because they do not confess that the Eucharist is the flesh of our savior, Jesus Christ, Flesh which suffered for our sins, which the Father, in His goodness, raised up again. Show less I will also pray for you.

I appreciate you are still on the journey to find God, somehow confused and not even sure of where your faith stands, so I advice that you don't throw everyone into your confusion brother, some of us we have gone through real experiences, and through revelations from the Word of God and the leading of the Holy Spirit, we have finally settled our faith firmly in Jesus Christ through the Seventh Day Adventist Church. Our faith is immovable and unshaken, and am ready to expalin every bit of the faith I have believed in with fear and meekness as the Bible tells us. Keep searching, seek Him truly, and if you are sincere He will surely guide you finally to the right place. My experience may be different from yours, and that's how God speaks to us, uniquely to each one of His child, through His word and the Holy Spirit's guidance, He is patient with us as we wait on Him until He finaly reveals the whole TRUTH as He did to His disciples. John 16:12-13. Blessings!

Ellen White loses the vision : "In our frequent change of location in the earlier history of the publishing work, and I have crossed the plains no less than 17 times, I lost all trace of the first published works . And here I pause to state that any of our people having in their possession a copy of any or all of my first views, as published prior to 1851, will do me a great favor if they will send them to me without delay." (Selected Messages, Book 1, p.60). *E.G. White prophesied the world would end in 1843, 1844, 1845 and 1851 :* "Now time is almost finished, (1851) and what we have been 6 years in learning they will have to learn in months." (Early Writings, p.57). "I saw the state of the different churches since the second angel proclaimed their fall (in 1844). hey have been growing more and more corrupt. Satan has taken full possession of the churches as a body. Their professions, their prayers and their exhortations are an abomination in the sight of GOD." (Spiritual Gifts, Vol 1, p.189). White blames her failed prophecy on the members of the Seventh-day Adventist church: "Thus the work was hindered, and the world was left in darkness. Had the whole Adventist body united upon the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus, how widely different would have been our history." (Selected Messages, Book 1, p.299). Concerning some of her revelations: "In one of her visions her accompanying angels told her that the time of salvation for all sinners ended in 1844 . She now claims the door of mercy is still open. In another vision she discovered that women should wear short dresses with pants and she and her sister followers dressed this way for eight years. But the ridiculous custom has now been abandoned." (Biederwolf, Seventh-Day Adventism, p.81). She also affirms that her visits to heaven were easily made: After having left there during one of her visits an angel "handed me a green cord coiled up closely. This he directed me to place next to my heart, and when I wished to see Jesus, take from my bosom and stretch it to the utmost. He cautioned me not to let it remain coiled for any length of time lest it should become knotted and difficult to straighten." "I was shown the company present at the Conference. Said the angel: Some food for worms, some subject to the last plagues, some will be alive and remain upon the earth to be translated at the coming of Jesus ." (Vol.1, p.131). NOTE: This statement was made in 1856 and every one present in that meeting is now dead . Obviously, this was a false prophecy. Some SDA's, in trying to extricate themselves from the dilemma of this false statement, have argued that had God's people been faithful the Lord would have come long ago. But this excuse will not hold water, because God knew ahead of time what would happen. And Mrs. White made no conditions for the fulfillment of her prophecy. Her statement is plain and to the point. "Thousands have been induced to enlist with the understanding that this war to exterminate slavery, but now that they are fixed, they find that they have been deceived, that the object of this war is not to abolish slavery, but to preserve it ." (Vol.1, pp.254,258). NOTE: We know now that the Civil War in the USA did indeed abolish slavery. Mrs. White was wrong . "Soon we heard the voice of God like many waters which gave us the day and hour of Jesus coming. When God spoke the time, He poured upon us the Holy Spirit." (Vol.1, p.59). NOTE: In this reference Mrs. White claims that the Lord gave her the day and hour of His coming. In Matthew 24:36, Jesus said, " But of that day and hour knoweth no man , no, not the angels in heaven, but my Father only ." And, of course, we know today she was wrong because Jesus did not come when she expected Him. On pages 42-45 of Early Writings , Mrs. White describes a closing of a door in the holy place of the heavenly sanctuary , and an opening in the most holy place (in 1844), that the "midnight cry" was finished at the seventh month 1844 , (see p.43), that then was the "sealing time", and that the time for salvation for sinners had passed (p.45). All the above statements have been proven false by the fact that Christ did NOT return to earth in 1844 . The " midnight cry" WAS NOT FINISHED IN 1844 , FOR THE BIBLE TEACHES THAT HE DID THIS AT HIS ASCENSION (See Hebrews 6:19 ; 9:24 ). The time for the salvation of sinners did NOT pass in 1844. If it did WE ARE in great trouble (LOST) TODAY!

In the letter to the Romans the apostle Paul teaches that we are all one body in Christ. Although there are many members we are one body and individually members of each other. The apostle Paul was stressing that that one body must be united in love and peace. Therefore the unity of the body of Christ must not be divided by disputable opinions such as the observance of the Sabbath or the consumption of meat. In Romans Chapter 14 Paul says that keeping the Sabbath or eating meat are personal matters between an individual and God. He even goes on to say as "one who is in the Lord" he considers all foods to be clean. One doesn't have to leave the Catholic Church if he is weak in the faith and his conscience compels him to keep the Saturday Sabbath; he will not be ex communicated by the Catholic Church. I believe the apostle Paul gives him the liberty to do so. The apostle Paul warns of the danger of being a stumbling block and causing the grievous fall of one for whom Christ died. By the way we observe Sunday because God brought into being a new creation/a new life in Christ with the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Mark 16:1-2 - When the Sabbath was over, Mark 16:9 When Jesus rose early on the first day of the week Luke 23:54 It was Preparation Day, and the Sabbath was about to begin Luke 23:56 Then they went home and prepared spices and perfumes. But they rested on the Sabbath in obedience to the commandment. Luke 24:1 On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, .... John 19:31 Now since it was preparation day, in order that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the sabbath, for the sabbath day of that week was a solemn one, John 19:42 because of the Jewish day of Preparation, since the tomb was close at hand, they laid Jesus there. 42 And so, because it was the day of preparation for the Jewish Passover John 20:1 The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, btw---Matt --14:19----- Jesus "broke bread"--Communion??

Study God's word diligently with the Spirit's guidance. You shall know the Truth, and the Truth will set you free. John 8:31 "Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free".

We are under the Spirit and no longer under the Law because by fulfilling the Law Jesus was able to give us something more perfect than the Law, the Spirit. When St Paul says we are no longer under the Law, but under the Spirit, it means that we are under a New Covenant. The Old Covenant existed until Jesus' coming who was prophesied and whom the Jews were waiting for. He came but the Law leaders did not recognize him. Do you believe the Teachers of the Law were not obeying the Law? They were! But something greater than the Law, than the Sabbath came to them; Jesus, the King of kings, Lord of Lords, the Messiah, the Alpha and the Omega, the Prince of Peace...! That's why Colossians 2: 16-17. And Jesus did not condemn anyone, but only asked one thing, to know God the Father and Him whom He sent, the Son.

Teach them the history of the Protestant reformation and how Martin Luther himself DID NOT want a schism among Christians. The SDA church was born from the American Protestant tradition. SDA for some reason ignore history that goes back further than Ellen G White the false prophet. They also do not cite verses in the Bible that negate their core differentiations from the Catholic and the Orthodox. Their interpretations focus too heavily on the old testament and they have judaized the scripture in their teachings. "But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. And many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of truth will be blasphemed. And in their greed they will exploit you with false words. Their condemnation from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep." 2 Peter: 1-3

Yes SDA is made of people coming from all over. they bring their ideas with them, many are extreme in some areas, some in others. But it is the Bible believing church like no other. You can say whatever you want, but I think there is another hidden agenda underneath your words. Another reasons you would feel shame to reveal that lead you to leave the church. I met many people who left the church. and interestingly each one had one hidden personal reason. The rest is just an excuse. a smoke screen to make it look reasonable and to blame the church. After over 30 years of being SDA for which I'm thankful to God I know that if an adventist wants to leave the church, THERE IS NOWHERE TO GO. Nowhere. And if you join another group, that mean YOU HAD NEVER BEEN AN ADVENTIST AT ALL. I feel pity for you my friend.

So, if it wasn't the Catholic/Orthodox church, guided by the Holy Spirit, that compiled the 27 books of the NT in the 5th century, just 75 years AFTER the council of Nicaea which began the Trinitarian doctrine and subsequent councils of Ephesus and Chalcedon, with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and preserved these scriptures by laboriously hand copying them over and over throughout the centuries before the invention of the printing press, the “rule of faith” for many, please tell us, show us, who did?

No religion can save us,but by OUR faith and mercy coming from GOD WE ARE SAVED...

Carefully notice Christ's prayer in John 17! He prayed for the unity, and UNITY in the TRUTH. What's truth? 'Sanctify them by the Truth, for thy word is Truth' (sanctify means set apart).

We have a similar journey brother. Ask any, and I mean any Roman Catholic convert from protestantism, they will tell you it’s only by God’s grace. IMO, Adventism is the most anti-Catholic denomination out there. So to convert to Catholicism from Adventism is almost a miracle. In my experience, it’s not really a conversion but an awakening. I felt like I’ve been a Catholic all along, and I just didn’t know it. Nevertheless, I didn’t base my decision on feelings. I do have objective reasons why I became a Catholic. It’s just hard to articulate to someone who’s so deep in their anti-Catholic upbringing. I don’t really know were to begin. I don’t even know how to begin if I could go back to the past and try to convince my younger self to be a Catholic! So to those Adventists who are wondering how an Adventist could become a Catholic, please don’t let go of that question. Follow up that inquiry. Don’t dismiss us like we don’t really know Adventist doctrines. If you think Adventism’s worldview is beautiful, I can testify that Catholicism is 1830x more beautiful. What you know about Catholicism is a caricature that Adventist pioneers and Ellen White instilled in you. Keep on searching because the truth is still out there, and it’s definitely not in Adventism.

@@sunnyday3385 Look brother I know what the true bible is and that's the problem with others, who are in the wrong path .. my bible iand my religion is the thruth way of life and at least in our church , they never preach bad against no other religion , which other non catholic do.. plus others change the bible and add what they want ..in our beautiful catholic faith , we have many miracles ,... And even our Lord Jesus Christ and his blessed mother had been seen by many Catholics to convey messages to others.. which are investigated and proofs. All I know I have strong faith , I pray , I follow my days of worship, I attend mass everyday , pray everyday , fast and im happy inside , I don't try hate towards others or argue with anyone . And this is reason there's a lot converts to the catholic faith.. God bless you and hope you open your eyes and see the true.. that's why it's said by Jesus after him their would be alot who will be blind to see the truth and not accept nothing , because they been brainwash against the catholic faith 🙏

God love Lucifer But when Lucifer rebel against God , the love of God was separate from him Adam and Eve disobey God, and they also drive away from the garden of Eden How do you think we are. If we don't obey God, we will be separated from God. Not because God doesn't love us, but because we fail to love him back
