There's no truth there.... better getting my questions answered I prayed to good on my knees to show me truth... an I was guided there, an I didn't know who to reach on my end. 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 love my parents an I'm praying for them because know I now what being born again by the spirit is. I have nothing against the catholic people that truly love Jesus an walk the talk cause I know there going to be saved.

[@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

@po18guy I agree with you that some SDA churches preach against Catholics. But that can be said with any church. I go to a non-denominational school, and they are constantly putting down Baptists, Adventists, Catholics, and every other churches. That doesn't just happen in the Adventist community. I agree with you that it's not Christ like. The bible tells us to Love one another, and people sometimes do the exact opposite. You could even simplify it by saying that 'I don't like you because of this or that reason'. It's pathetic. We are all just people living in a sinful world. We try to be a witness for God, but we all make mistakes.

[@mdeshaies9803]

@po18guy The biggest reason that differentiates the Sda church from the Catholic church is the Sabbath. On the 7th day of creation, (Saturday)God rested. Jesus even kept the Sabbath. The Bible does say that Jesus changes the Sabbath. Roman Emperor Constantine changed the Sabbath in the year 321 AD.

[@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!!

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. Jesus Christ reigns through his body and blood.the true lamb of God celebrated at the upper room and continue until today in all Catholic church.

[@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.

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)

[@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!

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!

Great question! A big reason why I became Catholic is for precisely this reason - it is considered the universal church.

From that point we are all brothers and sisters even Christ himself address people as brothers and sisters in his teachings. That is why Catholics call everyone their brothers and sister in Christ including the different religions,faith,Muslims non believers etc. Jesus said come to me as you are.if you are a murderer,thief or whatever you can be in the eyes of God ,he will surely hug you and love you if you have the guts to go to Christ for his mercy and to forgive you.Jesus loves us all and we are all brothers and sisters in spirit.

[@Theworthsearcher]

Dear@@richardpotihin5794 , Jesus sayed that on the cross because of there was a jewish tradition, if a woman stayed alone because she lost her husband and then became a widow, then her oldest then used to have taken care of her. If the woman didn't have a son (for whatever reason), then her oldest daughters husband should have taken care of her. If she didn't have any children, or any of the above mentioned family members alive, then there was a problem. And that is why Jesus left her mother, Maria, to John to take care of her. If Jesus had any brother, or sister, then it would not have caused any trouble. I probably used the words: Who is my mother and who are my siblings (relatives)/cousins? You are all... And in that age, when 3 generations lived together, it ment to be a lot... God bless you! 🙂

​@@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?

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

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.

[@davidfabien7220]

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.

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".

"The Catholic Church, . . . by virtue of her divine mission, changed the day from Saturday to Sunday."- Catholic Mirror, official organ of Cardinal Gibbons, Sept. 23, 1893. "Ques.- Which is the Sabbath day? "Ans.- Saturday is the Sabbath day. "Ques.- Why do we observe Sunday instead of Saturday? "Ans.- We observe Sunday instead of Saturday because the Catholic Church, in the Council of Laodicea (A. D. 336), transferred the solemnity from Saturday to Sunday ."- "The Convert's Catechism of Catholic Doctrine," by Rev. Peter Geiermann, C. SS. R.., page 50, third edition, 1913, a work which received the "apostolic blessing" of Pope Pius X, Jan. 25, 1910. What was done at the Council of Laodicea was but one of the steps by which the change of the Sabbath was effected. The date usually given for this council is 364 A. D.

The Roman Catholic church claims to have transferred the solemnity of the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday. That's the only explanation for this, but Jesus Himself as his custom was worshipped on Sabbath (Luke 4:16).

[@darrylbatchem8985]

The Catholic Church worships every single day all of them Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday and Sunday all of them. The Lords day is the eighth day. Does your week have 8 days? No it does not. Have you even heard of the 8th day? Probably not by asking this question. The eighth day is the break through day into eternity which Jesus Christ did in his resurrection. Insisting of the 7th which Jesus is also Lord of, is denying the resurrection and keeping Him in the grave. SDA only came into existence in 1830s do you even history?

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!

Christ left you with the "church" of blasphemy and the Antichrist (in the place of Christ)?? Blasphemous titles claimed for the pope have been embellished and enlarged over the centuries. But a few of these boastful claims appear in an ecclesiastical (Roman Catholic) dictionary, by Lucius Ferraris, entitled _Prompta Bibliotheca Canonica,_ Vol. VI, pgs. 438, 442, article "Pope." _The Catholic Encyclopedia,_ 1913 edition, Vol. VI, p. 48, speaks of this book as "a veritable encyclopedia of religious knowledge," and "a precious mine of information." "The pope is of so great dignity and so exalted that he is not a mere man, but as it were God, and the vicar of God." "The pope is of such lofty and supreme dignity that, properly speaking, he has not been established in any rank of dignity, but rather has been placed upon the very summit of all ranks of dignities. . . ." "He is likewise the divine monarch and supreme emperor and king of kings." "Hence the pope is crowned with a triple crown, as king of heaven and of earth and of the lower regions." "So that if it were possible that the angels might err in the faith, or might think contrary to the faith, they could be judged and excommunicated by the pope." "The pope is as it were God on earth, sole sovereign of the faithful of Christ, chief king of kings, having plenitude of power, to whom has been entrusted by the omnipotent God direction not only of the earthly but also of the heavenly kingdom." "The pope can modify divine law, since his power is not of man but of God." The above quotes are from _What's Behind The New World Order?_ Go to CatholicNewWorldOrder.com and click on the top link. ---------- "The Pope has power to change times, to abrogate laws, and to dispense with all things, even the precepts of Christ." _-Decretal De Translat. - Espiscop. Cap_ "I am all in all and *above all,* so that God, Himself and I, the Vicar of God, have but one consistory, and I am able to do ALMOST ALL THAT GOD CAN DO . . . What therefore, can you make of me but God?" -Pope Nicholas, quoted in _Antichrist_ by Ian Paisley, pg. 54. "You know that I am the Holy Father, the representative of God on the earth, the Vicar of Christ, which means I am God on the earth." -Pope Pius XI, April 30, 1922. The pope calls himself God, i.e., "Lord God the pope," "another God on earth." "We hold upon this earth the place of God Almighty," Pope Leo XIII said in an _Encyclical Letter,_ June 20, 1894. "The Pope is not only the representative of Jesus Christ, but he is Jesus Christ Himself, hidden under the veil of flesh," the _Catholic National_ said in July 1895. And every priest is an "Alter Christus," Another Christ. So every priest is Jesus. Plus, during the Mass the priest transubstantiates the bread into the literal, "real presence" of Christ. In other words, man creates God. He is "the creator of his Creator. . . . 'The power of the priest,' says St. Bernardine of Sienna, 'is the power of the _divine person;_ for the transubstantiation of the bread requires as much power as the creation of the world.' . . . As the Word of God created heaven and earth, so, says St. Jerome, the words of the priest create Jesus Christ." _-The Dignity and Duties of the Priest_ by St. Alphonsus de Liguori, Ch. 1, Part IV, pg. 11. How is any of this _not_ blasphemy?! Christianity teaches that the pope is the Antichrist. The proud pontiff's official title is Vicar of Christ, meaning "in the place of Christ." Vicar of Christ translated into Greek is Antichristos, in English Antichrist, also meaning "in the place of Christ." Vicar of Christ and Antichrist are the exact same word in two different languages. Vicar of Christ in Latin is Vicarius Filii Dei, meaning Vicar of the Son of God, or Vicar of Christ. VICARIVS FILII DEI. Add up the 11 Roman numerals and you get 666. Rev. 13:18. angelfire.com/on/3angels Revelation 13. 1 I . . . saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns . . . and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. 2 And _the _*_dragon (Satan)_*_ gave him (the beast) his power, and his seat,_ and great authority. 4 And _they worshipped the _*_dragon_*_ which gave power unto the beast:_ and they worshipped the beast . . . 5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies . . . 6 And he opened his mouth in *blasphemy against God,* to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.

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)

[@koleseqvvv123]

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.

Most in churches HATE JESUS. They just prize His blood to keep them out of HELL. See how Jesus was praised coming into Jerusalem and soon after... "We have no King but Caesar, crucify Him. we wil not have this man reign over us, give us Barabbas" Earthlings have a death drive and are suicide wannabes headed to be ZOMBIES and extinction. Most in church are still LAW trashing GOD haters (ROM 8:7) phonies..hypocrites...Catholics and Adventists.

Biblical Proof the seventh day (Saturday) IS the Sabbath Matt 27:62 The next day, the one after Preparation Day....... Mat 28:1 In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, c Mark 15:42 - It was Preparation Day (that is, the day before the Sabbath). 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?? No. they ate bread and fish.

OMG... you went completely backwards instead of forward. The RCC is the worst cult you could have Chosen.

[@georgebauerschmidt5289]

the SDA cult is not much better. But any organization that claims they are the "only true church" will find out someday that they put their devotion towards an organization instead of to Jesus.

Actually, the Catholic Church is the only Cult God is pleased with, everyone else has either fabricated theirs in man's image or have done away with giving cult to God, the only God.

[@Misael-Hernandez]

​​​​@@cliffordpearsonjr.9748 I have, and you have also but are ignorant about the New Covenant, The Good News, The Holy Spirit, because your religion is backwards thinking by wanting to follow The Law though you are not Jews, and you will never be able to fulfill The Law because you are not perfect, but Jesus already fulfilled it! That's why; 2Corinthians 3, and Colossians 2: 16-18, and Jesus says " It is finished" on the cross before he dies, and that's why the saints rose from their graves that same afternoon. Your religion preaches what itself cannot keep and it forces or judges others to follow them, as though they are keepers of The Law, but are actually breakers of it because by breaking one commandment, one is guilty. Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ. (Col. 2: 16-17)

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..

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).

Welcome home! My mom is seventh day Adventist, but I converted to Catholicism when I was 24. My goodness, best decision ever. When you actually understand Catholicism from the outside instead of listening to what ppl think the church is like, it’s mind blowing. Read the church fathers, look into church history and trust in Jesus.

I'm Eastern Orthodox, but I've had the same experience that you describe. I wouldn't go back to protestantism for ANYTHING.
