Ellen White
To this day, some claim that the 7th Adventists claim they are apart of mainstream Christianity. My answer to this is "Let the truth be told though the heavens fall." The reality is that Ellen White invented Seventh Day Adventism not Jesus Christ at all. Ellen White notoriously used false predictions and other unscriptural teachings in her own writings. Later, I will quote her words later on. That's why I don't follow a man or a woman 100%, but God alone 100%. More facts are coming out about Ellen White. As many realize, Ellen G. White was a false prophetess and invented Seventh Day Adventism. Adventism was an offhoot of the movement of William Miller (a false prophet who predicted that the end of the world would occur in 1844. That was false). By 1860, White and her followers called themselves the Seventh Day Adventist Church. Dr. John Whitcomb Jr. disagreed with calling the Adventists Christianity. 7th Day Adventists are an interesting bunch of people. A lot of them typically have a hatred of the Roman Catholic Church. I have no problem with disagreeing with Roman Catholic doctrine myself, but the Adventists even have errors. Some of the famous Seventh Day Adventist authors include Steve Wohlberg, Bill Hughes, Walter J. Veith, Vance Ferrell, and others. Some of them like Walter are right to expose the Jesuits and their wicked history. The Jesuit's wicked history include banning Jewish people from overtly joining the group until 1946, being involved in the Counter Reformation, involved in evils like promoting gun grabbing plus the Ecumencial Movement promotion, and being banned by many European nations for their espionage plus infilitration of various countries. Ellen White didn't even believe in drinking tea. Her own words on the issue are the following: "... People may be taught... and be educated to refuse all narcotics, - tea, coffee, fermented wines, and stimulants of all kinds, - and to discard the flesh of dead animals." (Counsels on Diet and Foods, p. 281, written in 1896).
On the other hand, black or green tea are proven to reduce the risk of a stroke or heart attack, protects against several types of cancer, and have equal or greater antioxidant power than many fruits plus vegetables. Now, 7th Adventists wasn't created by Jesus Christ. It was created in the modern sense by the false prophetess Ellen White. They believe in soul sleep or that the saved people don't experience a conscious existence from the time of death until the resurrection. That's wrong since the Bible says after death, we immediately face the Judgment of God himself. The NT has Abraham communicating to a person in Hell thereby making Abraham conscious of his surrounding after his death. The Adventists follow a works-based salvation, they believe that Christ acquired a sinful nature, and they accept baptismal regeneration. They believe in the false teaching that refusing to follow the Sabbath is equated with taking the Mark of the Beast (when the Mark of the Beast is about placing an object inside your arm or forehead). Now, the Sabbath is a day of rest. It was apart of the OT. In the New Testament, the Sabbath should be given respect. Yet, mandatory Sabbath keeping is not mandatory for salvation at all. In fact, the Bible says that we shouldn't judge on which day we worship. Colossians 2:16-17 says that: "...Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ..." Romans 14: 2-6 is clear that:
"...For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs. Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him. Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand. One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks..."
The Sabbath is a day of rest and the first day was readily a time where Christians celebrated the resurrection of Jesus Christ. In other words, we have the right to worship God on any day. Ellen White made numerous false prophecies of Old Jerusalem never being built up or that that Adventists living in 1856 would be alive at the Rapture. In recent years, these Adventists desperately are trying to unite with conservative Christians for the sake of opposing Rome, etc. I don't care if you oppose Rome or not, I'm not theologically uniting with Seventh Day Adventists at all. Ellen places her "visions" as equal to the word of God, which is false. She wrote that: "...the Holy Spirit opened to her mind important events and called her to give certain instructions for these last days, and inasmuch as these instructions, in our understanding, are in harmony with the Word of God, which Word alone is able to make us wise unto salvation, we as a denomination accept them as inspired counsels from the Lord.." (Q. D., pg. 93).
The Bible is clear that his word is sufficient and superior to White's writings. It's been found by Lisa Ruby from Liberty to the Captives Ministries that the Seventh day Adventists' leadership (not all Adventists) have been yolked up with the United Nations (a group dedicated with the one world concept and a new world order). The Liaison Office to the United Nations is based at the Adventists Church's world headquarters in Silver Spring, Maryland, USA. That's admitted on the Adventist's own website. Of course, all members of the 7th Day Adventists don't align with the U.N., but much of their leadership does. It's doesn't take a genius at all to witness that the United Nations is pro-New Age. U Thant ,who was a former UN Secretary General, said that the world won't change and find peace without a new education. UN adherent Robert Muller is one of the famous famous advocates of the occult and a world core curriculum (to brainwash our children into accepting New Age philosophy, anti-individualism, etc.) in the world. Now, the Robert Muller School promotes the writings of Alice A. Bailey (whose husband was 32nd degree Freemason Foster Bailey). The UN certified this school under the guises of "international cooperation and peace." Alice Bailey funded Lucis Trust (a magazine that was once called Lucifer Trust. The name was changed for obvious reasons). Bailey recieved her teachings from Satanist Helena Petrovna Blavatsky (She is the co-founder of the Theosophical Society. She popularized occult thought in the Western world including America). Helena called Lucifer the Serpent, Savior, civilization, Liberty, etc. from her book of "The Secret Doctrine" on pages 171, 225, and 255 (from Volume 11). Blavatsky even called Satan God, which is false. Lucis Trust was created in 1922. Lucis Trust peddles hardcore New Age literature in various New Age bookstores. At one time, the Lucis Trust office in New York was located at 666 United Nations Plaza and is a member of the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations under a slick program called "World Goodwill" (which is a NGO whose aim to make the reappearance of the Christ possible. Occultists write about the coming New Age Christ of the Aquarian Age). Robert McNamara, Thomas Watson, and other elitists have sponsored Lucis Trust. The Aquarian Age Community is another UN site that promotes the New Age Movement. Lucis Trust believes that a world spiritual leaders will help mankind to achieve peace. This could be the Antichrist since Bible prophecies outline the Antichrist as first coming as a man of peace (then he unleashes war). Now, his nickname is Maitreya (who is promoted by Benjamin Creme of the Share International organization. So, life is bigger than what's shown in the mainstream media. Ellen White praised Mother Earth and the vital force, which are New Age words. White's grave stone is an Egyptian obelisk. The obelisk represents the sun god Ra, and the phallic icon. This phallic image is connected to the Masonic concept of regeneration. Regeneration is about the merging of the masculine and feminine (usually in pagan thought) to make conception in Nature. It's definitely a pagan icon of the ancient world. So, I wouldn't advise anyone to be a member of the 7th Adventists because of their false doctrines and sick influence in the world. To recap: The 7th Day crowd believe in works-based salvation, the Sabbath is connected to the Mark of the Beast, and the view that the soul dies (even of the saved) until Judgment Day. All of these things are unscriptural. Liberty to the Captives Ministries (as headed by Lisa Ruby) found out that Ellen White's writings have an All Seeing Eye. Historically, the All Seeing Eye was the Eye of Horus. It's a pagan emblem and the Bible never even refered to God as the Eye of Horus or the All Seeing Eye at all. The All Seeing Eye is of course a known logo of Freemasonry. White's gravestone is even marked with an obelisk (which is a Masonic symbol). The obelisk is a phallic symbol that goes back into Osiris, Baal, and the false gods of the Mystery Religions. White writes about the Coming One. The Coming One is a New Age term signifying the New Age world teacher. Bible Believers believe that this person is actually the Antichrist as predicted in the book of Revelations (and other books of the Bible). Lucis Trust (one of the most powerful New Age groups in the world with ties to the U.N. Some of their leaders are worshippers of Lucifer. Lucifer relates to Venus and Satan), promote the concept of a Coming One. Ellen White (like occultists) believed in a life force, but God Almighty isn't a life force. God is the Creator and isn't merged with his creation.
Our Liberty being Violated in the RNC and other places
The Republican National Covention's police response is being worse than even the DNC. The reason might be that more criticism is directly toward the Republicans. That still is never an excuse for the law authorities to arrest innocent protestors in St. Paul, Minnesota at all. There is many examples of illegal crackdown of dissent in the Minnesota area. Indybay from September 2, 2008 outlined how a woman was pepper sprayed in the face by the police. She was innocent and was assaulting no one at all. She was just showing a flower to the militarized police with black uniforms (looking like Nazis). Glenn Greenwald from Salon on September 2, 2008 classified the RNC 2008 as the most militarized convention on record. There has been raids against innocent people. One example was Amy Goodman (though a Left Gatekeeper) was unlawfully arrested in downtown St. Paul, Minnesota days ago. She was trying to free two Democracy Now producers who were also being unlawfully detained. They are Sharif Abdel Kouddous and Nicole Salazar. They were arrested while carrying out their journalistic duties in covering street demonstrators in the RNC. Goodman was assualting no one and questioned the officers. Protestors were attacked with tear gas as well. It isn't just them. Other journalists have been harrased as well. For example, members of I-Witness Video, which is a New York-based media watchdog group that records police activity in order to protect civil liberties, were arrested for no reason by police. Armed police surrounded one of the members' home. Glen Greenwald has been on the front lines exposing this. Glenn Greenwald reminded readers on Sunday, that the Minneapolis Joint Terrorist Task Force spent months recruiting people to spy on activist groups who were planning on to protest the RNC. So, Glen deserves credit on the police oppression in these affairs. It doesn't take rocket science to know certain aspects of the government want certain dissent quelled in American soil. These events aren't extraordinary. Militarized police were in many conventions before 2008 and raids against innocent citizens have been common place for decades. Now, people are starting to realize this police state atmosphere exists not only in America, but throughout the world. It's worse in other countries where you can be arrested and jailed for just dissenting with the status quo of the government. Andrew Meyer was tasered for just answering a question. That can't be a reality in the future. Government has always worked best when it's limited by what it can and can't do. The government and law enforcement should be held accountable for these immoral duties.
CNN reported on the deployment of the 1st Bridage combat team in the U.S. Larry Shaughnessy from CNN on October 5, 2008 made known about this. The United States military's Northern Command (which was created immediately after the 9/11 terrorist attacks) is having a combat infantry team to deal with catastrophes in the U.S. (including terrorist attacks and natural disasters). The 1st Bridage Combat Team of the 3rd Infantry which was first into Baghdad, Iraq in 2003 started its controversial assignment on Wednesday. The First Raiders will spend 2009 as the first active-duty military unit attached to the U.S. Northern Command since it was created. They will be based in Fort Stewart, Georgia, and focus primarily on logistics and support for local police and rescue personnel, the Army says. Some skeptics are here who believe that unit has been trained using tools generally utilized for law enforcement (from beanbag bullets, tasers, spike strips, and roadblocks). This training is related to Norther Command's CCMRF (or Sea Smurf) or CBRNE Consequence Management Response Force. CBRNE stands for chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and high-yield explosive incidents. CBRNE is a team with about 4,700 personnel from the different military branches that would deploy as the Department of Defense's initial response force. The Army claims that these unit will deal only with emergency incidents. Some respond to that saying that the troops have been trained for years during law enforcement tactics. Even the Cato Institute says that troops shouldn't train in domestic situations at all. Critics also point to a General Accounting Office study in 2003 that found that domestic security missions put a strain on a military stretched thin by two simultaneous wars, and that a unit's readiness for combat is reduced if the members have to take time out to respond to an emergency at home. The deal is that the military have specific roles as defined in the Constitution. NORTHCOM shouldn't expand these roles, because the military have not right to have entrenched policy judgments made in the domestic realm. Not to mention that urban warfare drills have occured nationwide (for years. Some have utilized black helicopters as well) involving the military to train domestically which is against Posse Comitatus. Now, the seperation of the police and the military is important to perserve.
Religious Liberty
One of the most critical and vital rights we human beings possess is religious freedom. Men, women, and children (of many backgrounds) bled and died for that right. People like William Tyndale paid the ultimate sacrifice (with his life) for just trying to translate the Bible in his own tongue. To this day, many folks of a wide variety of religions are immorally persecuted by totalitarian governments globally. Now, the First Amendment of the Bill of Rights (as found within the U.S. Constitution) explicitly document the right of the people to exercise religious expression. Now, this exercise can never be prohibited by the government. It also bans the establishment of religion as well. The First Amendment states clearly that: "...Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances..." Now, it clearly shows that we have a right to have religious expression, while the government can't make a law on establishing a religion. The phrase of "seperation of church and state" never appears in the Constitution. It was mention in a letter between Thomas Jefferson and the Danbury Baptists in telling them that he won't use the government to control religion in America. It was in the 1940's, when the Supreme Court utilized an expansive view of the "seperation of church" to include even some school prayer voluntarily expressed there. Now, some are promoting religious freedom. The Alliance Defense Fund is recruiting dozens of pastors to protest the unjust Johnson Amendment law (which is in existence for 54 years. It prevents pastors from endorsing a candidate in their pulpits. If they do this, the government can withhold their tax exempt status). Rev. Gus Booth, who is pastor of Warroad Community Church, says he plans to be one of the pastors involved in the effort and he indicated he's already getting calls from interested media. I don't agree with him supporting John McCain, but he has a First Amendment right to express support for whatever candidate he wishes.
Steven Ertelt from LifeNews.com on September 4, 2008 deal with a pro life firm files a lawsuit on belief of pro-life advocates. This innocent protestors were shackled and strip searched. 3 young pro-life women experienced this while after they peacefully protesting abortion in Maryland. Last month, they were arrested without warning by Hartford County State Troopers during their multi-city protest featuring abortions signs. Last month, Maryland officials dropped all charges against 18 pro-life advocates who were peaceful abortion protestors along the streets of Bel Air. Although the ADF (or the Alliance Defense Fund) and other attorneys filed a lawsuit against Hartford County, the town of Bel Air, and 7 police officials on behalf of the young women. They are right to say that pro lifers' First Amendment rights ought not to be banned. They were heckled, strip searched, etc. 3 teenagers were stripped search inapropriately 2 times by officers. For example, hundreds of Christian theology students have been living in tents. The reason is that a mob of angry Muslim neighbors stormed their campus last month wielding spears and hurling cocktails. The deal comes among these religious groups concern about Indonesia's tradition of religious tolerance being threatened. The Arastamar Evangelical School of Theology has reluctantly agreed to shut its 20-year-old campus in east Jakarta. This occured since the attack. They moveed near a small office building on the other side of the Indonesian capital. Rev. Matheus Mangentang who is the chairman of the 1,400 student school complains that they are forced out while attackers can walk free. The government of President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono relies on the support of Islamic parties in Parliament. Therefore, he is trying hard to balance a secular Constitution along with deep Islamic traditions in the country. Indonesia want strong Muslim support to maintain stability in their country. I believe that religious liberty should be avaliable to Muslims and Christians. There is no need to shut down a Christian school if they are innocent of any crime. There were tensions between the school and residents of the Kampung Pulo neighborhood. Senny Manave, a spokesman for the Christian school said that some of the residents didn't like their prayers and other evangelical activity. It's definitely hatred of religious liberty by some anti-Christian people. Muslim radicals threw stones at their dormitory roof. Christian lawmaker Karol Daniel Kadang accused property speculators of provoking last month's incident to clear the land for more profitable use, after the school refused to sell out. He also blamed the government for failing to make interfaith relations better. Even on last Sunday, a mob forced dozens of Christians to flee a church. So, I have no respect for Muslim radicals at all. Now, this isn't representative of all Muslims, so I want to make that very clear. Christians have been murdered in India as well.
Hate crime laws has always been controversial. While, we want anyone of any background to be protected from assault or demonization, peaceful free speech ought not to be criminalized in the process though. Bob Unruh writes from World Net Daily. He believes that many hate crime laws (including new ones being proposed) have anti-free speech provisions in it. Even in Canada and Europe, you can be jailed for speaking your mind and having religious views expressed on certain places. Canada already has an aggressive "hate crimes" law, and there authorities there have gone so far as to tell a Christian pastor he must recant his faith because of the legislation that bans statements that can be "perceived" as condemning another person. Bob Unruh wrote on September 12, 2008 about a new proposed federal hate crime bill might criminalize speech or thoughts critical of homosexuality. President Bush believes that the hate crimes legislation will create special privileges for certain people of an alternative lifestyle. Staver said since criminal acts already are addressed with existing law, the only impact of "hate crimes" legislation would be to criminalize free speech and religious speech and a person's thoughts. For example, an assailant convicted of attacking a heterosexual might get six months in jail. Under a "hate crimes" plan, if the victim reported being homosexual, the sentence might be enhanced significantly, analysts said. One thing is true though. Christians have had their religious liberty violated in America (plus globally) for peacefully expressing their religious views. For example, In Philadephia, 11 people (including a grandmother) was hauled into jail threatened with 47 years in prison for proclaiming her Christianity on a public street, Repent America has reported. The woman, Arlene Elshinnawy, 75, and grandmother of three, was holding a sign: "Truth is hate to those who hate the truth," before she was hauled off by police officers. This was so wrong that the court thrown the charges out of court. I want to be clear that I don't believe in stereotyping, assaults, or unfair demonization of anyone whether they are white, black, Muslim, Christian, hetereosexual, homosexual, or any differences in people. I believe we have the right to agree or disagree with the lifestyle of homosexuality in peaceful means. The Bible is clear that homosexuality is a sin.
Religious freedom violations aren't just happening against Christians, but also against Jewish people and Muslims. Jewish synagogues have been bombed in Europe especially. There has been a recent attack against a mosque. Some accuse the release of Obsession (as promoted by the CUFA or the Christian United for Israel. This group is promoted by David Brog and John Hagee. They are right that many holy people live in Israel, but omit that we shouldn't have conditional alliegance to the government of Israel. We have unconditional alleigance with God along with believing in the right of Jewish people plus all people to live in Israel if they want to), a movie critical of radical Islam, toward battleground states as litting the fuse to the attack on Muslim. The truth is that Obsession is right that many radical Muslims are terrorists and have oppressed people. The movie is wrong to assume that these extremists are some how an extreme threat to America or we need a war on terror to defeat them. It's better to fight extremism with dialogue, assistance to the Middle East, encourage fair dealings among all sides in the Middle East, have trade, and promote real freedom over there in peaceful means. Gregory Ross, the spokesman for the Clarion group, which produced and is distributing the DVD, told the Harrisburg Patriot-News that the movie was being delivered to 28 million homes throughout the month of September. Now, the incident was when a grenade was thrown into a Dayton, Ohio mosque. This occured during Ramadan prayers. Little children suffered from it.
