| Church Reform |
| The Seventh-day Adventist Church should have been and could still be a powerful witness for truth to the world if and only if it rolls back the clock and undoes the massive error it made in the 1840s when it consciously and intentionally chose to turn it's back on the Bible to follow a recognized and obviously false prophet. |
Can the SDA Church Reform Itself? Read our articles by Patricio Menéndez on why the SDA church should admit they were wrong about the Investigative Judgement and Ellen White.

"Our ultimate concern is that which determines our being or non-being. Only those statements are theological which deal with their object in so far as it can become a matter of being or non-being for us" Paul Tillich |

Should the SDA Church admit Ellen White was not a Prophet? Read our astonishing article by Patricio Menéndez on why the SDA church should admit they were wrong about Ellen White being a prophet. Once you have read the article vote in our poll to register your opinion. I firmly believe that if at that time people had reacted for God rather than to keep their status and personal prestige and taken the steps to return to "Sola Scriptura" there would NOT be dozens of Sabbath keeping churches but one and rather than 11 million or so members there would be 111 or more million members. The SDA church would hold a prominent position in the field of religion. There never would have been "cult" status labeling the church either!! The SDA church has a unique collection of Biblical truths tarnished by a false prophet and the resultant unbiblical teachings. Thanks to the success of Satan's plan the SDA church has been driving down the road of time with two wheels in the ditch. Now read the Full Article The Debate |

If the lost word is lost, if the lost word is spent If the unheard, unspoken Word is spoken, unheard; Still is the unspoken Word, the Word unheard, The Word without a word, the Word within The world and for the world; And the light shone in the darkness and Against the Word the unstilled world still whirled About the centre of the silent Word. Ash-Wednesday, T.S. Eliot |

Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, but my ears you have pierced; burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not require. Then I said, "Here I am, I have come - it is written about me in the scroll. To do your will, O my God, is my desire; your law is within my heart." Psalms 40:6-7 |

All this was a long time ago, I remember, And I would do it all again, but set down This set down This: were we led all that way for Birth or Death? There was a Birth, certainly, We had evidence and no doubt. I had seen birth and death, But had thought they were different; this Birth was Hard and bitter agony for us, like Death, our death. We returned to our palaces, these Kingdoms, But no longer at ease here, in the old dispensation, With an alien people clutching their gods. I should be glad of another death. Journey of the Magi, T.S. Eliot |

In that day I will summon my servant Eliakim son of Hilkiah. I will cloth him with your robe and fasten your sash around him and hand your authority over to him. He will be a father to those who live in Jerusalem and to the house of Judah. I will place on his shoulder the key to the house of David; what he opens no-one can shut, and what he shuts no-one can open." Isaiah 22:20-22 |

Then the LORD called to the man clothed in linen who had the writing kit at his side and said to him, "Go throughout the city of Jerusalem and put a mark on the foreheads of those who grieve and lament over all the detestable things that are done in it." As I listened, he said to the others, "Follow him through the city and kill, without showing pity or compassion. Slaughter old men, young men and maidens, women and children, but do not touch anyone who has the mark. Begin at my sanctuary." So they began with the elders who were in front of the temple. Ezekiel 9:4:6 |

Robert Brinsmead was an SDA theologian who left the church in the late 1960s following
disagreements about righteousness by faith. He has since become a very articulate critic of Adventism,
arguing in great detail that Adventism does not have a clear understanding of the gospel.

Nor on the other hand do the ignorant love wisdom and desire to be wise, for the tiresome thing about
ignorance is precisely this, that a man who possesses neither beauty nor goodness nor intelligence
is perfectly well satisfied with himself, and no one who does not believe that he lacks a thing
desires what he does not believe he lacks. The Symposium, Plato |
