Reasons i cannot be an Seventh Adventist. Um a reformed theologian and Bible teacher. If you told me something was wrong with my church, i would go into scripture and let Scripture confirm your point.so do that after reading this passage.Its not an attack on SDA, i love them but i love The Truth more and any teaching that distorts the Truth only death will silent me. SDA Got a prophetess by the name Ellen Grace White, Her teachings are the backbone of the SDA articles of Faith, here are her Teachings 1). WORKS PLUS GRACE EQUALS SALVATION The judgment is to set, the books are to be opened, and we are to be judged according to our deeds Testimonies for the Church, vol. 1, p. 100. Remember, this is a judgment of works for salvation, not for rewards. While good works will not save even one soul, yet it is impossible for even one soul to be saved without good works Selected Messages, bk. 1, p. 377 Eph 2:3 among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind. Eph 2:4 But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, Eph 2:5 even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved— Eph 2:6 and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, Eph 2:7 so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. Eph 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, Eph 2:9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast. Eph 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. Rom_3:20 For by works of the law no human being will be justified in his sight, since through the law comes knowledge of sin. Rom_3:28 For we hold that one is justified by faith apart from works of the law. Rom_4:6 just as David also speaks of the blessing of the one to whom God counts righteousness apart from works: Rom_11:6 But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works; otherwise grace would no longer be grace. Gal_2:16 yet we know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified. Gal_3:10 For all who rely on works of the law are under a curse; for it is written, Cursed be everyone who does not abide by all things written in the Book of the Law, and do them.!!!!!!!! 2). SATAN BEARS OUR SINS It was seen, also, that while the sin offering pointed to Christ as a sacrifice, and the high priest represented Christ as a mediator, the scapegoat typified Satan, the author of sin, upon whom the sins of the truly penitent will finally be placed The Great Controversy, p. 422 (emphasis added). Their sins are transferred to the originator of sin Testimonies for the Church, Who bears the Wrath for Our sins? Who bore our sins on the cross of calvary ? Jesus Christ. 3)CHRISTIANS WILL STAND BEFORE GOD WITHOUT CHRISTS INTERCESSION Those who are living upon the earth when the intercession of Christ shall cease in the sanctuary above are to stand in the sight of a holy God without a mediator The Great Controversy, p. 425 (emphasis added). When Jesus ceases to plead for man, the cases of all are forever decided. This is the time of reckoning with His servants Testimonies for the Church, vol. 2, p. 1911Jn 2:1 My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. Heb 7:22 This makes Jesus the guarantor of a better covenant. Heb 7:23 The former priests were many in number, because they were prevented by death from continuing in office, Heb 7:24 but he holds his priesthood permanently, because he continues forever. Heb 7:25 Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them. Heb 8:1 Now the point in what we are saying is this: we have such a high priest, one who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven, THE SABBATH IS THE SEAL OF GOD AND THOSE WORSHIPING ON SUNDAY WILL RECEIVE THE MARK OF THE BEAST It is well known that Adventists teach Sabbath-keeping. What is not so well known is that they teach that it is the seal of God and that those who worship on Sunday before the Rapture will receive the mark of the beast. Ultimately, according to Adventist theology, salvation in the last days boils down to the day you worship on. 2Co_1:22 and who has also put his seal on us and given us his Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee. Eph_4:30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Church Who is the seal for Christians according to this verses? The Holy Spirit… Roman Catholic, Watch tower,Mormons, (KJV) He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

Few Examples of large congregations that don’t teach the Biblical Salvation.

Heb 8:1 Now the point in what we are saying is this: we have such a high priest, one who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven, 1 ). THE ATONEMENT IS NOT COMPLETE The blood of Christ, while it was to release the repentant sinner from the condemnation of the law, was not to cancel sin....It will stand in the sanctuary until the final atonement Patriarchs and Prophets, P. 357 (emphasis added). Now while our great High Priest is making the atonement for us, we should seek to become perfect in Christ The Great Controversy, p. 623 (emphasis added). ...instead of coming to the earth at the termination of the 2300 days in 1844, Christ then entered the most holy place of the heavenly sanctuary to perform the closing work of atonement preparatory to His coming The Great Controversy, p. 422 (emphasis added). 2). WE CAN BE SINLESS Those only who through faith in Christ obey all of Gods commandments will reach the condition of sinlessness in which Adam lived before his transgression Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary, vol. 6, p. 1118 (emphasis added). To be redeemed means to cease from sin Review & Herald, September 25, 1900 (emphasis added). I John 1:8,10 7). THE SABBATH IS THE SEAL OF GOD AND THOSE WORSHIPING ON SUNDAY WILL RECEIVE THE MARK OF THE BEAST It is well known that Adventists teach Sabbath-keeping. What is not so well known is that they teach that it is the seal of God and that those who worship on Sunday before the Rapture will receive the mark of the beast. Ultimately, according to Adventist theology, salvation in the last days boils down to the day you worship on! 8). SOUL SLEEP Seventh-day Adventists, like Jehovahs Witnesses, teach that when a believer dies his soul sleeps. Some believe that you entirely cease to exist. 9). A DENIAL OF THE BIBLICAL DOCTRINE OF HELL Seventh-day Adventists do not teach the biblical doctrine of hell. They, like Jehovahs Witnesses, teach that unbelievers will be annihilated and that hell is temporary. The SDA basic teachings are not biblical, Pick a point.i will show which scripture disagrees with it.
