By what authority do you interpret your opinion on Scripture to be accurate?Yes we believe that at the end the wicked will be eternally destroyed by fire falling down out of heaven to completely consume the wicked.
John 3:16 (King James Version)
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
This means that only one group of people will have “everlasting life”–those who are saved. In order for the wicked to suffer for eternity the wicked would also have to have “everlasting life.” But, they won’t they will “perish.”

The Adventist Church has an extremely high rate of members leaving the church compared to other churches. Moreover, from Adventist.org:news.adventist.org/data/2005/06/1120249432/index.html.enWell, that hasn’t been proven either. We have evangelists who when witnessing to Catholics use the Douay version of the Bible to show what we believe and they are converted. Were they wrong?

DJ - I read every one of the beliefs and looked up every one of the scriptures that are listed to support the beliefs. I suggest you do the same because the scriptures listed to support the beliefs in fact do not support the beliefs.Note that none of the alleged false doctrines have been proven to be false. Some of them aren’t even doctrines! For what SDA’ really believe vs. someone’s say-so see: adventist.org/beliefs/fundamental/index.html
Every single one of our beliefs is based on Scripture as you will see when you click on the above link.
Workds have never saved–but they can show who is saved.
Actually they have… you just havent accepted that proof as of yet… some people still believe in a flat earth…Note that none of the alleged false doctrines have been proven to be false. Some of them aren’t even doctrines! For what SDA’ really believe vs. someone’s say-so see: adventist.org/beliefs/fundamental/index.html
Gong… every one of your beliefs is based on your INTREPRETATION of scripture. The Bible is is inanimate object, it does not teach, it must be interpreted. Therefore your beliefs ultimately are based on YOUR beliefs.Every single one of our beliefs is based on Scripture as you will see when you click on the above link.
Such as?Some of what you listed aren’t doctrines and none of them have been proven to be false.
Catholic follow the Magisterium of the Church. Adventists follow the “magisterium of Ellen White.”By what authority they teach these things is a mystery. They certainly are not Biblical. Yet, most Adventists argue that Scripture supports the above false doctrines. What they dont realize, is they are using a faulty interpretation of Scripture to reach these inaccurate conclusions. Yet when Catholics use a different interpretation of Scripture to support our beliefs, they say we are wrong. Which begs the question, whose authority do we follow when trying to best understand Scripture. I rely on the authority of the Church, rather than the authority of an individuals personal opinion.
Cute!Catholic follow the Magisterium of the Church. Adventists follow the “magisterium of Ellen White.”
I did go to the website and found thisCute!
Then truth rears its ugly head and we realize it ain’t so!
See adventist.org/beliefs/fundamental/index.html and you’ll find that all our fundamental beliefs are based solely on the Bible.
. It is obvious that SDA beliefs are not solely based on the Bible.One of the gifts of the Holy Spirit is prophecy. This gift is an identifying mark of the remnant church and was manifested in the ministry of Ellen. G. White . As the Lord’s messenger, her writings are a continuing and authoritative source of truth which provide for the church comfort, guidance, instruction, and correction.

I don’t twist anything and you haven’t proven that I have twisted anything. I read the Hebrew and the Greek that the Bible writers use; I don’t use flawed English translations and I don’t use EGW to find out what the Bible says.Again, your beliefs are based on your beliefs and interpretations about the Bible, which can be twisted to support nearly anything you want

I agree.I stand by my statement the way it was made… Nor do I agree that works show who is saved. The heart, judged by God, shows who is saved.

You are correct. Not only that, but your quote claims her writings are based on truth, which is incorrect.I did go to the website and found this. It is obvious that SDA beliefs are not solely based on the Bible.
