Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need (Hebrews 4:16). How can a sinner (man) be a mediator? The sinner needs the Mediator himself. Jesus Christ is our Mediator. He is perfect and never sinned. Priests have sinned. They need Jesus just like we do.

Good question. We believe in what the Bible says. Ephesians 2:8-10. "8. For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9. not a result of works, so that no one may boast. 10. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them." We believe that we are saved by grace which we obtain through faith in Christ. No works of ours merit grace. It is purely by the grace of Christ. But when we accept God's grace into our lives, it not merely forgives our sins, but God transforms our lives where we are created in Christ Jesus for good works.

A few feedbacks: 1. Even SDA needs somebody to interpret Scripture and that is how you ended up emphasizing Sabbath observance, which you do not find in other Protestant or post-Reformation denomination who read and interpret the SAME 66-book Bible. 2. Being former Catholic pastor Finley knows little about Catholicism. The Head of the Catholic Church is Jesus Christ, NOT the Pope. 3. Jesus gave the authority to forgive sins to the apostles (the Church). SDA nullifies what He said. 4. In Catholicism we worship only God and Jesus. We do not worship saints, not even Mary. If you can pray/intercede for each other, then the saints in heaven can do the same because they are alive, NOT dead. Only those in hell have their bodies and souls dead according to what Jesus said in Mat. 10:28 (ESV): "And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell." Jesus said in John 11:25-26 (ESV): " I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die.” Jesus Himself conversed with Moses and Elijah (Mat. 17:1-3). Even John managed to converse with one of the elders in heaven (Rev. 5:5, 7:13-14). 5. Catholics do believe that all baptized Catholics are priests, both males and females. The ministerial priesthood is based on God's promise that He will make levitical priesthood everlasting (Exo. 40:15) and Jer. 33:18 prophesied that levitical priests will continue offering sacrifice forever. SDA fails to meet what Exod. 40:15 and Jer. 33:18. 6. The second commandment does not forbid making statues. God Himself asked Moses to make a likeness of a serpent (Num. 21:8), likeness of cherub (Exod. 25:19). God allowed Solomon to have likeness of cherubs (1 Kings 6:24-26) and oxen (1 Kings 7:25) in Jerusalem Temple. What is forbidden is worshipping them and Catholics do not worship those statues. You also have photos of your loved ones, they are also likeness under heaven, regardless they are correct likeness or not. While you do not worship your loved ones or their photos, you are angry if somebody spits on photos of your loved ones. Neither you place them in the toilet or stick them on garbage bins. 7. The Hebrew word, שָׁחָה, translated as to bow does not always means “to worship”. The same verb is used in Gen. 23:7, 12 that says Abraham bowed down to the people, in Gen. 33:2 Jacob bowed to Esau, in Gen. 42:6 Joseph’s brother bowed to Joseph, Ruth bowed to Boaz in Ruth 2:10, prophet Nathan bowed to David (1 Kings 1:23). The last three examples show that they bowed until their faces touched ground, or they prostrated, just like Muslims do when they pray. The other word, סְגִד, also means worship but the verb is used in Daniel 2:46, which KJV translated as “Then the king Nebuchadnezzar fell upon his face, and WORSHIPPED Daniel, and commanded that they should offer an oblation and sweet odours unto him.” Daniel did NOT stop him from doing so. 8. There is no Catholic teaching that says the kingdom of God is ONLY on earth as pastor Finley declared. 9. The Catholic Church does NOT reduce the number of ten commandments.

That “rock” referring to Jesus Himself not Peter
@HL3655 ай бұрын
The phrase “on this rock” has been controversial within the Christian church. Catholics interpret the “rock” to mean Peter himself, arguing that Peter was the first pope. Protestants, however, and with good reason, reject that interpretation. The biblical weight of evidence is clearly in favor of the idea that the Rock is Christ Himself and not Peter. First of all, in a few places Peter refers to Jesus, and not to himself, with rock imagery (see Acts 4:8-12, 1 Pet. 2:4-8). Second, all through the Bible the image of God and of Christ as a rock is found; in contrast, humans are seen as weak and untrustworthy. “For He knows our frame; He remembers that we are dust” (Ps. 103:14, NKJV). “Do not put your trust in princes, nor in a son of man, in whom there is no help” (Ps. 146:3, NKJV). As John wrote, too, about Jesus: “and [He] had no need that anyone should testify of man, for He knew what was in man” (John 2:25, NKJV). And He knew, too, what was in Peter, as well (Matt. 26:34).

The books of the Bible that we have now were first recorded in the 360ad period when saint Athanasius and Pope Demisis first recorded them as scripture accepted by the churches. Matthew to Hebrews was accepted other books were accepted by some churches but not by others and Revelation was the last to be accepted because some people didn't believe it was by John. Unfortunately this man doesn't fit biblical Christianity using the bible only or the bible plus tradition. Pastor Finley believes the bible plus the writings of Ellen white including the great controversy theme in Ellen Whites writings and also the clear word bible a mixture of the scriptures and Ellen White theories together should be believed. The doctrine of an Investigative Judgement is an Adventist doctrine but not found in scripture it is only found in Ellen Whites writings and is a product of tradition in the 1800s when people believed Jesus was returning and when it didn't happen it was made into a doctrine

(1 Timothy 2:1-4 ’I exhort therefore, that, first of all, SUPPLICATIONS, prayers, INTERCESSIONS, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.) In the first four verses, Paul is strongly encouraging us to offer ‘supplications’, intercessions etc. for others . He is NOT saying, “Don’t intercede for others because Christ is the only mediator between God and men. Quite the opposite.

@@HL365 I appreciate you reaching out. I’m a life long SDA and a year ago I would have not even questioned Mark on any of this……until I actually went and read and listened to catholic theologians who tackle these topics. What I found is that I was never actually shown WHY Catholics AND ALL OF THE OTHER ANCIENT CHURCHES were UNANIMOUSLY aligned on EACH OF THESE POINTS. These are NOT Roman Catholic teachings. They are the teachings of ALL ANCIENT CHRISTIANS. And they believed these things BECAUSE they believed they were revealed in scripture. I was definitely NOT equipped by the SDA church to actually deal with their claims on the basis that the Catholic/orthodox churches ACTUALLY present them. I was told a caricature/strawman of Roman Catholicism. I’m feeling a little deceived honestly. I’m not saying the Catholics are definitely right. But what I’m saying is that these same old Adventist punchlines and proof texts don’t truly deal with the issues in depth. And when you do look at these issues in depth, the issues are not as clear as you’d like to think. We need to get better. We aren’t in the 1800’s anymore. We can’t just keep pedaling the same tired old arguments that our pioneers used. They don’t hold up anymore. And now, in the age of the internet, people like me are realizing they don’t hold up. Adventist leadership had better step up to the plate and really get a handle on this stuff or there is going to be a mass exodus in the near future. And that exodus will be toward the ancient faith, ie, Catholicism/Orthodoxy. They have stepped up their game. We must do the same.

God did not give the Bible in King James Version. The Old Testament was written in Hebrews and Aramaic and the New Testament was written in Greek. Those were the original languages. All the versions we have today are translations from these original language.

Mark Finely your explanation is shallow and inaccurate. The protestants do not have the worship but sermon. More important see the believe of the early Church. All solas are unbiblical as well as they created a new false theology and tradition. Orthodox and Catholics have basically the original teaching and tradition. Luther was only right about immorality of the Christians at his time but made huge theological errors.

Jonh 20 :23 Jesus Christ said to his disciples. Peace be with you. As my father send me so I will send you. And when he said this he breathed on them and said. Recive the holy spirit, if you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven,,if you retain the sins of any, they are retained. Institution of sacrament of confession with His Apostles the new priests for God's new covenant. . Also Jesus established the Eucharist and said. Jonh 6 53 :54. Also Jesus told his Apostles to go and baptize all nations. With this Jesus ordained His new covenant. Jesus Christ never said ignore what I ordained with you and come straight to me. The massage from the bible was to his Apostles, the new priests for God's new covenant. You dont ignore , what he ordained, take their book and pretend Jesus is talking to you. By faith alone we live what Not ignore what Jesus ordained as long as we have faith we are saved. This last one is of satan. And yes in the old covenant god had intercessors, the phrofets where intercessors. God would talk to them and they would speak to the people. This man must be very lukewarm catholic, he dosent now catholic faith at all . The lukewarm i will spit out of my mouth, Jesus said. They go to protestantism. The fables are much more interesting. Jesus Christ established a very humble covenant.

Unfortunately for Ellen White, the theory that the Pope changed the day of worship was later refuted by one of their own scholars, Dr. Samuele Bacchiocchi in his ground-breaking book, From Sabbath to Sunday. In the 1970's, Bacchiocchi was the first and only non-Catholic to ever be allowed to study at the Catholic Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome. . . . his research showed that the change from Sabbath to Sunday worship occurred far earlier in history than had been previously admitted by Adventists. In fact, the change happened long before the papacy was established in power. These findings cast considerable doubt on whether Sunday worship could be considered allegiance to the papacy since the practice was well established throughout Christianity centuries before the first Pope arose.

Biblical Christianity, sir what is exactly that. Jesus never gave us something called Biblical Christianity neither did He gave us the bible. Jesus never gave us the Bible or tell us one day there will be something called Bible. Jesus never tell us that there will be a religion called Christianity. So where are you getting all these things you are eloquently expressing. For four hundred years after death of Jesus the was no a book called Bible , Paul died without knowing there is a bible even all apostles so. Ask yourself questions like this , when Paul said all scripture is inspired by God, why do you think he was referring to the bible when there was no Bible at that time. However , the followers of Christ immediately after his death and ascension to heaven practiced baptism, confessions, Eucharist, Priesthood, worship etc and etc. Later they write to coming believers to follow the tradition written or not written. So l will rather continue practicing that which l was taught originated from the early followers of Christ rather than to be told we must practice Biblical Christianity when l certainly know that there was no bible or Biblical Christianity in the early believers. Peter, Paul. Mathew, James, John, Timothy, Barnabas and all died with know knowledge of what a bible is. So sir where do you get this thing called Bible Christianity.

Biblical Christianity is based on the Bible. It is based on truths that the Bible tells, not man-made traditions which do not have any basis in the scriptures. You said Jesus never gave the Bible. That is not true. The apostles wrote with the authority that God gave them. That is why they are in the Bible. Apostle Peter writes that prophets wrote when they were moved by the Holy Ghost (2 Peter 1:20, 21). Yes, Paul said all Scripture is inspired by God. While he predominantly referred to the Old Testament, it does refer to all of the New Testament because they were also inspired by the Holy Spirit. Please also read 2 Peter 3:15,16. Already, Paul's contemporary Peter recognized the epistles of Paul as scriptures. Jesus never said to venerate the saints or Mary, nor did the early followers do that.

Of course the catholic church is correct. They made the bible according to their traditions. Apostoles dident had any bible the bible was put together by catholic church 400 years after Christ, at the coucil of nicea. By the time the bible turned up, Christianity already went through Europe. And yes Jesus Christ established a church whithin His church a new covenant with sacrament of baptism, jonh 3:5 Confession jonh 20:23 And Eucharist Last supper. Where Jesus says if we don't eat the flesh of the son of man and drink His blood we will not enter the kingdom of heaven. And the ones that do he will raise them up at the last day. Protestant herectics, took the bible from the church, ignored everything Jesus established and ordained with His Apostles, for the remission of sin saying its traditions, and pretend Jesus is talking to them.

THE PROTESTANT DOCTRINES OF SCRIPTURE ALONE AND FAITH ALONE ARE NOT BIBLICAL:.. ➔ The entire foundation of Protestantism is false:... ➔The Bible ITSELF Contradicts Luther's doctrine of "scripture alone" (solascriptura) The Bible tells us that the authority is THE CHURCH: ... ● 1 TIMOTHY 3:15 The pillar & foundation of TRUTH is the CHURCH. ● 2 TIMOTHY 2 Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. And the things that thou hast HEARD from me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also. ● EPHESIANS 3:10 10 His intent was that now, THROUGH THE CHURCH, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms, ● JOHN 21:25 Jesus said & did Many other things that are too numerous to be recorded in writing. ● 2 THESS 2:15 We are to hold fast to the TRADITIONS we have been given, either by WORD OF MOUTH or by the letter. ● 1 COR 11:2 I commend you because you remember me in everything, and maintain the TRADITIONS even as I have delivered them to you. ● HEB 13:17 Obey the eldars in the CHURCH. ● COR 5:20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. ● HEBREWS 13:17 Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you. 2 COR 5:20 says that God appointed men in the Church to represent Him.

When the thief who was crucified with Jesus ask that he be remembered, Jesus told him that he will be in Paradise, not sleeping! Be safe and good day in Jesus name.

@michaeltownes7670 From a Seventh-day Adventist perspective, understanding the state of the dead and interpreting the passages in Revelation, particularly Revelation 6:9-11, requires context and a grasp of the overall biblical teaching on death. Seventh-day Adventists believe in the state of the dead as being one of unconsciousness until the resurrection, based on verses such as Ecclesiastes 9:5, which says, "For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing; they have no further reward, and even their name is forgotten." When addressing Revelation 6:9-11, it's important to note that this passage is highly symbolic, as are many visions in Revelation. The passage refers to the souls of the martyrs under the altar, crying out for justice. This is understood symbolically rather than literally. It represents the blood of the martyrs crying out to God for justice, much like Abel’s blood cried out from the ground after Cain killed him, as described in Genesis 4:10. It's not meant to indicate that the dead are conscious and observing earthly events, but rather it uses imagery to convey the idea that their sacrifices and the injustice they faced have not been forgotten by God. The Adventist view holds that the dead are in a state of sleep until the resurrection, which is supported by verses like John 11:11-14, where Jesus refers to Lazarus’s death as sleep, and 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17, which describes the resurrection at Jesus' second coming. This perspective interprets the martyrs’ awareness in Revelation 6:9-11 as a symbolic representation of their cause before God, rather than a literal awareness of earthly events. In summary, from a Seventh-day Adventist viewpoint, the passage in Revelation 6:9-11 is understood within the broader biblical context that teaches the dead are in a state of unconscious sleep until the resurrection. This interpretation aligns with the church's beliefs about the state of the dead, the symbolic nature of Revelation's visions, and the consistency of scriptural teachings on death and resurrection.

@HL365 that is the problem problem SDA has twisted scripture to say what it wants to say, however if you were to go back in time to first century Christians and the SDA would fall short and would be considered heretical., but don't take my word for it. The history of SDA is an offspring of the Millerites which William Miller founded. William Miller prophesied the end of the world in 1843 which never happened then switch it to 1844 and that never happened, disillusioned the new movement became Adventist where Ellen White assumed false prophetic revelations, again don't take my word for it search it out. I was born into Catholisism but not properly catechised and fell into protestant views for years.
