Shubee,

I don't recall EGW sowing seeds of dvision within the church. I do recall her expounding on the parable of wheat and the tares.

Prov 13v21 Evil pursueth sinners: but to the righteous good shall be repayed.

Prov 16v21An ungodly man diggeth up evil: and in his lips [there is] as a burning fire.

Ecc 9v3 This [is] an evil among all [things] that are done under the sun, that [there is] one event unto all: yea, also the heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and madness [is] in their heart while they live, and after that [they go] to the dead.

Ecc 11vTherefore remove sorrow from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh: for childhood and youth [are] vanity.

Rom 3v23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

Luk 6v37 Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:

EGW has some good thoughts here in her book Thoughts from the Mount fo Blessing

"Judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts." 1 Corinthians 4:5. We cannot read the heart. Ourselves faulty, we are not qualified to sit in judgment upon others. Finite men can judge only from outward appearance. To Him alone who knows the secret springs of action, and who deals tenderly and compassionately, is it given to decide the case of every soul.

"Thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things." Romans 2:1. Thus those who condemn or criticize others, proclaim themselves guilty, for they do the same things. In condemning others, they are passing sentence upon themselves, and God declares that this sentence is just. He accepts their own verdict against themselves."

Hi Shubee,

In my heart I have read that good seed sowed by EGW.

Christ's servants are grieved as they see true and false believers mingled in the church. They long to do something to cleanse the church. Like the servants of the householder, they are ready to uproot the tares. But Christ says to them, "Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest."

Like the servants of the householder, they are ready to uproot the tares. But Christ says to them, "Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest." E.G.W., Christ's Object Lessons, p. 71.

This quote only proves Seventh-day Adventist hypocrisy because there are Seventh-day Adventist churches that practice Satan's methods in uprooting whomever Satan inspires them to uproot, as revealed in the opening post.

What church was it that crucified Christ ... ?

The Seventh-day Adventist church for one.

Sister White felt it necessary to reprove Seventh-day Adventists for crucifying the Son of God afresh and putting him to open shame. See The Seventh-day Adventist Threat to Religious Liberty. If you refuse to consider Sister White's writings, then I understand perfectly. Many Seventh-day Adventist hypocrites disapprove of those testimonies.

We can start a real good study on purification here from that churches viewpoint.

The Jewish-Adventist comparison has already been made. See A Profile of the Seventh-day Adventist Church.

It becomes all to clear that you are creating a labrynth of contradictions of which only you can extricate yourself from.

Are you admitting your shameful ignorance and inability to reconcile Christ's Object Lessons with the following Spirit of prophecy testimonies?

"God calls His people to elevate the standard. The church must show their zeal for God in dealing with those who have, while professing great faith, been putting Christ to open shame. They have imperiled the truth. They have been unfaithful sentinels. They have brought reproach and dishonor upon the cause of God. The time has come for earnest and powerful efforts to rid the church of the slime and filth which is tarnishing her purity. The church of Christ is called to be a holy, powerful people, a name and praise in all the earth." TM 450.

"We must as a people arouse and cleanse the camp of Israel. ... We are in danger of becoming a sister to fallen Babylon, of allowing our churches to become corrupted, and filled with every foul spirit, a cage for every unclean and hateful bird; and will we be clear unless we make decided movements to cure the existing evil?" 21MR 380.

Seventh Day Adventists don't purify others

There is no doubt that Seventh-day Adventists are fulfilling Sister White's prophecy about our church becoming medieval in its thinking and in adopting popish actions against those who speak the truth. See The Seven Faces of Seventh-day Adventism.

Hi Ray Shubee,

"There is no doubt that Seventh-day Adventists are fulfilling Sister White's prophecy about our church becoming medieval in its thinking and in adopting popish actions against those who speak the truth. See The Seven Faces of Seventh-day Adventism."

 SDA's expose the medieval churches.

Like all churches, SDA's included they are infiltrated with the seed of division call em tares that sprout up that think they are God and go on witch hunts. The church that encourages this divisive opposition has oaths taken in satanic strongholds  - churches of satan, jesuit secret orders. It's nothing new under the sun.  Jesus and SDA's founded on God's word don't have a problem identifying them and loving them back into the house hold of hope. The labrynth OF division and deception that they create has no power in God's word. God's word exposes, purifies and redeems.

Their words create deceit, division and bitterness. 

Only God in his coming judgment will separate the church.

Christ has plainly taught that those who persist in open sin must be separated from the church, but He has not committed to us the work of judging character and motive. He knows our nature too well to entrust this work to us. Should we try to uproot from the church those whom we suppose to be spurious Christians, we should be sure to make mistakes. Often we regard as hopeless subjects the very ones whom Christ is drawing to Himself. Were we to deal with these souls according to our imperfect judgment, it would perhaps extinguish their last hope. Many who think themselves Christians will at last be found wanting. Many will be in heaven who their neighbors supposed would never enter there. Man judges from appearance, but God judges the heart. The tares and the wheat are to grow together until the harvest; and the harvest is the end of probationary time.
