As with most all movements of treason, THE PERSISTENCE WITH WHICH THEY PUSH THEIR MOVEMENTS WHILE BARKING HOW ALL WHO DO NOT ACCEPT THEM ARE INTOLERANT IS DIRECTLY PROPORTIONAL TO HOW WRONG THEIR MOVEMENTS ARE.
It is anti-Adventism determined to mingle with their target of attack in order to more effectively destroy it. There is actually no such a thing as a "Progressive Adventist." You can prove this based upon the age of their ideas in history compared to the development of the Seventh-day Adventist Church.
Adventists were Christians who came from every other denomination and were impressed by greater light to join the Adventist Church. The "Progressive Adventists" are pushing those same old beliefs present Adventists used to hold when they were members of other denominations. They are basically and persistently telling Adventists that they MUST surrender their beliefs and GO BACK to what they used to believe so that they can join up again with the "rest of the gang." They throw people off by labeling themselves, "Progressive Adventists." This was the same agenda with the Worldwide Church of God. Those members came from many different denominations also and joined the Worldwide Church of God because they heard and were impressed by greater light. The Tkaches took over that religious body and began to tell them that they believed obvious false doctrines, and then began to push beliefs their members had believed before they joined the Worldwide Church of God. These were also telling that body that they had to surrender their beliefs and to GO BACK to where they were in order to join the "rest of the gang."
IT IS IRONIC THAT THE MOST POWERFUL LEADERS OF THE SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH FALL UNDER THIS BAND WE ARE TALKING ABOUT HERE! AS WE THEREFORE PROGRESS WITH THIS ARTICLE, WE SEE ONE OF THEM ["Progressive Adventists"] BEGGING FOR POWER AND INFLUENCE AND CLAIMING THEY HAVE TO STRUGGLE TO MAINTAIN THEIR PLACE IN THE SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH. THOUGH THEY ARE BY FAR THE MINORITY, THE ADVENTIST CHURCH IS SECRETLY DOMINATED BY THEIR ELITE MINORITY GROUP.
A MAJOR TUMULT WAS CAUSED BY THEM. WHAT WE ARE
DESCRIBING HERE ARE REMNANTS FROM THAT SAME GROUP THAT CAUSED ALL THE
TROUBLE AND WHO, EVEN IN THE HIGHEST POSITIONS, HAVE NOT BACKED DOWN AT ALL!
They have the tremendous patience and persistence of fascists. They never give up their agenda even if they are expelled. They will bark till the end how everyone must be tolerant. As was shown by the tumult caused during the forceful pushing of the Celebration Worship Style in the Adventist Church, WHEN THEY GET THE UPPER-HAND, THEY WILL NOT THINK TWICE TO EXPEL THOSE WHO EVEN SPEAK AGAINST THEIR IDEAS OR MOVEMENTS.]
He writes: Why I am a Progressive Seventh-day Adventist; Am I a Dreamer or just a Fool.
Several years ago I wrote an article for Adventist Today on the differences between Traditional Seventh-day Adventists (TSDA’s) and Progressive Seventh-day Adventists (PSDA’s). The question that is still often asked of me is why, if I don’t agree with the TSDA’s views, I am still an SDA. [He, by the ideas he holds and by his intolerance and insistence that everyone must accept his ideas, never was a Seventh-day Adventist and never will be!] That question is not restricted to being asked by the TSDA’s; it is asked by former Adventists and even other PSDA’s. To most it appears that the default position of Adventism is the TSDA viewpoint. Frankly I ask myself the question far too often.
When you look at the things the TSDA’s believe it is easy to see that there are significant areas of disagreement. My description of a PSDA was:
--A differing view of what the Investigative Judgment is or acknowledgment that the Investigative Judgment is not Biblical. (And as such a differing view of Christ Activities from His ascension to His Second Coming.)
--An inclusion of other Christians into the category termed the "Remnant".
--A less rigid understanding of the role of Ellen G. White, ranging from acknowledging that she was not always correct in her teaching and understanding to the denial of Prophet status.
--The Seventh day Sabbath is for our benefit, true Christians can and do worship on Sunday and it is not now, or latter, to become the Mark of the Beast, or the Seventh day Sabbath to be the Seal of God.
Those things are but a small part of my differences with TSDA’s but then many of my concerns would be differences with many other Christian denominations.
[His ideas are not NEW or, in other words, NOT PROGRESSIVE! And, by beliefs alone, this person IS NOT A SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST!]
I would have a problem with the literalism of the Genesis stories of Creation and the Flood, huge problems with the ideas of inerrancy and infallibility of the Bible and major disagreements with the Penal/Substitution theory of Atonement.
[But millions of other and by far the majority of Adventists WOULDN'T! Should loyal Adventist care what the "Progressive Adventists" think when these "Progressive Adventists always show they don't care what anyone else thinks, even starting tumult in the Adventist Church because they can't keep their "dreams" to themselves, nor go away and join others with their same "dreams?"]
Right there I have disagreed with two points of the five points that made up Fundamentalism at the beginning of the 1900’s. Between 1910 and 1915 The Fundamentals were published as a twelve tract publication, there appears to be some wording differences
[TO YOU, IN YOUR OPINION? Words they used often against us to divide us and prevent us from stopping their treasonous movements against the faith from the inside.] between sources but the fundamentals amount to these: 1. Literal inerrancy of the autographs (the original manuscripts of each scriptural book). 2. Christ's virgin birth, the deity of Christ. 3. Substitutionary Atonement (Also known as: Vicarious Atonement, Penal Atonement). 4. The bodily resurrection of Christ. 5.The bodily return of Christ and alternatively in some lists the authenticity of Christ's miracles. With such a powerful document refuting modernism and higher criticism it is little wonder that the Adventist church plunged into fundamentalism from the early part of the twentieth century. [It is a more wonder that it now has SAVIOURS who then collectively made a first stealthy attack against the Adventist Church and then went full force ultimately to the defrocking of thousands of loyal Adventists who had different dreams. Isn't it great news that people can then PLUNGE away from it and start their own corrections in their own churches?]Yet Adventism today does not teach the inerrancy of Scripture or the idea of verbal inspiration.
[Did we miss the debate somewhere here? How come we Adventist here teach that? And if the Adventist Church doesn't, just what are "dreamers" going to do about it? Did they not already show us TO THIS DAY?? Most of the leaders and ministers of the SDA Church favor the revolution. When they see too much opposition, they lie low and lie with their lips but their determination that the structure must accept their revolution is completely unchanged.]
Even though if you look at the beliefs of many Churches in your community you will often find this idea included in the churches belief statements. The Adventist church also rejects the idea of eternal torment of the wicked in Hell. You can see that just with these two issues Adventism has some real advantages.
Unlike many denominations the Adventist church has had to deal with the idea of inspiration in ways that most Christians don’t have to consider. Adventists grew up with the idea of Ellen White as a prophet.
[Here it comes! The terrible disease of the "Progressive Adventists!" When anything comes that challenges their Jesuit revolutions that everyone MUST have, they attack it and leave the tolerance and the debating behind. That is why THEY ALWAYS must make reference to the terrible "weaknesses" of Ellen White and then grump because we must find it necessary to point out their weaknesses they are very proud of! First is a put down of Ellen White or anyone else who stands in their way, then they even create "worship styles" and concepts none of even God's prophets ever dared to do! Before they move to commit treason in the church, shouldn't they look in their mirrors and first tell themselves how perfect they are?]
What does it mean to have a nineteenth century prophet, how does inspiration work?
[What does it mean to have a first century prophet writing Galatians? What does it mean to have 21st century false prophets who even concoct "WORSHIP STYLES" and force it secretly upon everyone?]
Ellen White is someone who borrowed a good deal of information and said it was from God.
[The bible writers did also. Ron Corson already listed many of his ideas above and showed he did not create them, but that they were from God. His ideas are not "borrowed?"]
Someone who thought the coming of Christ was mere months away, who at one time believed the door of salvation was shut.
[That issue proven and solved here.]
She predicted that some people present at an 1856 conference would be translated, some would go through the seven last plagues and some would just die.
[Jesus also did something similar, proven here on the home page of the Seventh-dayAdventism.com website close to the bottom of the home page.]
The myth of the all powerful and all knowing prophet was dashed along with the idea of verbal inspiration.
[Then I guess the "Progressive Adventists" can then go home. As far as I'm concerned, no such "myth" was proved to be a myth or dashed. When then will we learn about the myth of PROGRESSIVE ADVENTISTS actually being Adventists and that we must listen to them? When will they learn that there are other Christians who have DREAMS about the churches they built and sustained for years, and that "newcomers" with "dreams" commonly believed by other churches the Adventist Church rejected in its progression are not to be forced upon them while being told they are to be tolerant and accept the newcoming "dreams?" Is the "myth" about Ellen White to be replaced by the all powerful and all knowing "tolerant" Jesuits under the mask of PROGRESSION?]
Now whether she was or was not a prophet is still debated
[Even though you and all other PROGRESSIVE ADVENTISTS claim to show us there is no and never was any debate about anything you believe that everyone else must have?]
but what it did to Adventism was to open our minds to ways that God could work rather than merely holding to the fundamentalist tradition.
[The ideas this man and his clan holds are traditions. Not only are those "traditions" not loosely held, but the difference between him and genuine Seventh-day Adventists and worshippers is that he and his clan will not rest until they even force all others to believe as he does. We are trying to even give you a clue what will happen if he runs a good string of "luck" and acquires Weapons of Mass Destruction! We are not merely inspiring your imagination here. YOU NEED TO WAKE UP! We are not talking about ordinary people here.
How does that relate to leaving the Adventist Church, starting your own and then impressing everybody else with your TRUTH? Would you consider doing that if we picked up rocks and "struck you in the BRAIN" like Ellen White to create your own even major denomination like she did? (The Jesuits have elaborate websites everywhere far outnumbering those that tell the truth. Many of these websites state that Ellen White was able to do all she did, even in the construction of the Seventh-day Adventist denomination by being "struck in the brain" with a rock! The very words were used because these people show not only a terrible revulsion to insults, but also a terrible talent at providing them.)]
As a Progressive SDA I am the byproduct of all that information and experience, the questions raised and the methods employed to arrive at answers.
[And their ideas were proved wrong over and over again. When they are proved wrong on forums on the internet they swarm upon the people who prove they are wrong and then persist in evasions and insults. When they own forums and are proved wrong, they delete the posts that prove they are wrong and ban the people who submitted the posts. They never flip-flop. What then was Ellen White a byproduct of, "who created her own church," by, according to you guys, being struck in the BRAIN with a rock? If you guys were struck in the "Brain" with a rock, would you be able to do that, then go to your church AND STAY THERE?]
What I have found is that the answers don’t always work and there is a whole range of opinions on a whole range of subjects.
[Including the idea about making your "DREAMS" take over the Adventist Church? Does that include the dream of you starting your own church, including you understanding that people don't want your ideas that has eluded you for years? Hiding the fact that guys like you who brought the confusion already have all the answers?]
My Adventist heritage taught me I don’t have to accept what someone says Christianity is.
[Why then can't you understand that the majority of Adventists taught them they don't have to accept your "DREAMS" and you can then start your own church, or go to other churches that commonly accept your beliefs and stop teaching people how to be tolerant? But the list of your beliefs from your "Adventist heritage" above is the exact same beliefs the most rabid enemies of Adventism always had!]
I can examine and study and come to my own conclusions. In fact that heritage makes it incumbent on me to try and search harder for what works and what the truth really is.
[And then apply it to yourselves. We told you! Leave the Adventist Church, start your own, rock the world, and make Adventists JEALOUS! Don't you think they would want to come to your church then? Don't you think they would want to change theirs then? You're not interested in tolerance! You never were. You will never consider creating your own churches. You can't afford to have worshippers who disagree with your ideas.]
The Adventist church even has remained active in the exchange of ideas in
[You mean they more figure out how to agree with you guys?]
However as a Progressive SDA I am on a tightrope that is rapidly vibrating as the Traditional Adventists shake the rope with claims that are to my mind truly destructive.
[You mean since these "Traditional Adventists" both built and dominated the church before you came and then trouble, trauma, and tribal warfare arrived just as you came LIKE A WAVE? (they attacked the church SUDDENLY with a wave of revolution started UNANNOUNCED that caused more trouble in the history of Adventism than in its entire history! THE CHANGES WERE FORCED UPON THE CHURCH BY THE LEADERSHIP and MINISTERS giving a strange catering service to these minority demands. They planned and implemented their revolutions IN SECRET. Anyone who knows what has been going on know that, like in civil affairs in America, the Seventh-day Adventist Church is dominated by an elite minority. They hold the minority views and plan in secret constantly to this day to destroy the beliefs of the body and turn it back again to ecumenism in the forming of a global church.) The "Traditional Adventists" (biblically the only ones) built the church. They sustained it. IT'S THEIR CHURCH! Who caused the problems? Trying to teach treason to leave and practice their beliefs on their own creations is just like trying to teach a fascist how desirable Constitutional liberty is.]
Such things as Last Generation Perfection with it suggestion that Jesus laid aside His divinity to live as a man with the same tendencies to sin as we have so that He showed us what we must do in the last generation: live a perfect life without sin. That touches on so many issues [NOT YOUR JESUIT BUSINESS! Are you keeping your eyes on Christ? Other people will accept the truth about this. Does that fact bother you?]
Legalism, the nature of Jesus Christ, the reason for God incarnate, the nature of God, the idea of the trinity – which many traditional SDA’s try to redefine closer to tri-theism with the One meaning the three are united in purpose rather then in substance.
[If others want to be perfect, (to the extent the Jewish High Priests acquired that made them stand in the direct presence of God at least one full day in a year on the Day of Atonement) then leave them alone! Just show that is just as impossible as you understanding the simple suggestions I am giving to you here! You're a Christian? Leave the Adventist Church you can't agree with. Start your own. MAKE US JEALOUS! Show more how you're not perfect by letting these clear words go right into one treasonous ear and come out the other!]
So the balance on the tightrope is constantly being challenged. Does Adventism offer enough reasons to stay? Are there other churches, which even though they have what I consider incorrect and illogical doctrines, that have less repugnant doctrines then what Traditional Adventism puts forth?
[You don't have to go to another one: YOU CAN START YOUR OWN! The power of Christ cannot make you do that? Ellen White was able to! Is there virtue in being struck in the BRAIN with a rock? Why not then do it to yourselves?]
The Adventist church leadership allows the semi-Arian view of Jesus Christ, the doctrine of Last Generation Perfection and other ideas because they don’t want to rock the theological boat in which many members reside. [This was disproved by the great rocking of the boat that stormed the Adventist Church by the leadership especially in the late 1980s and throughout the 1990s through their SUDDEN and FORCEFUL demands for revolution. There was tremendous opposition even to the creation of independent ministries and many excommunications against dissenters with a major exodus, and that is what made them in the denomination quiet down and now appear to be docile. To this day they quietly maintain everything they pushed and are still holding on to the heresies and revolutions they pushed.] That tolerance could be said to exist for the Progressive Adventists also to some degree. diversity has advantages as well as disadvantages.
[Can people differ with that conclusion? After all, the history of the Adventist Church shows that many of the people believe this THROUGH BEING TAUGHT THIS BY THE LEADERS. The opposition that was created especially by lay people was taught and instilled into them by loyal leadership and pastors of yesteryear. God help us if you "Progressive Adventists" gain full control. It will surely be like starting wars for GLOBAL DEMOCRACY by the most unpopular world leaders ever!]
The hope of Progressive Adventists is to take what we have learned and create a better church, first at the local level and working up.
[You're supposed to mean create YOUR OWN better church! The goal of you fictitious "Progressive Adventists" is internal treason for Rome].
The problem is that we have no organization, no established presence in our local churches.
[AND DON'T INTEND TO! You're a virus that infects and infiltrates healthy cells of God's people to cause trouble and to not rest till your papal dreams dominate!]
Many of our local churches have Progressive Adventist led
[That pastor is far more virtuous than most such! Most others would remain in to cause trouble, destroy the Investigative Judgment truth and call all those who would protect it, "intolerant."]
Progressive Adventists have for a long time rejected the Investigative Judgment doctrine.
[Like every other enemy of Adventism. You mean "FOR THE FIRST TIME" progressive Adventists have agreed with the enemies of Adventism? "Progressive Adventists" were never enemies of Adventism before?]
but because we live under the radar, we hide from identification in our local churches.
[You wouldn't have to live under any radar if you started your own church (other than the one you already belong to: ROME). They already caused the worst tumult with the unannounced, blasphemous and inquisition-style push of the CELEBRATION WORSHIP STYLE on the Adventist Church. Since they are still here "under the radar," you can understand that they have not changed their plans. They too never waffle, never flip-flop and never back down.
Just as we said, you don't start churches of your own: you infiltrate precisely because you decree most every other Christian MUST believe what you believe. If they don't succumb to your ideas, they will be empowered to resist even the horrible holocaust and carnage about to befall at least America in these last days].
Progressive Adventists in leadership positions have had to leave the denomination rather than live as practicing Progressive Adventists.
[Because they never were and never really will be Adventists. They are intolerant. They want to rule and control. They can never keep their "DREAMS" to themselves. They refuse to build their own churches or to go worship among those who believe their fantasies.]
Frequently I receive requests from people asking if there are any Progressive Adventists in their area, I rarely have a satisfactory answer to give them.
[THERE ACTUALLY NEVER WAS AND STILL IS NOT A SINGLE "PROGRESSIVE ADVENTIST." All their ideas are ancient and were possessed by the worst enemies Adventism ever had since its beginning. They are struggling to merge the enemies of Adventism around the flock and dominate them, changing their church into an ecumenical component of a one world church to be.]
If we don’t do something soon we will be hanging by our fingertips on the tightrope and in that uncomfortable position we will not remain Adventist long.
[In other words, GREAT GOOD WOULD OCCUR. It will then be shown if your religion has some backbone to stand on its own, or whether or not it indeed is a virus and you are JESUITS!]
We either must make our stand away from the tightrope or jump off. I suggest
we make the stand at the local church level by starting
[We suggest that you go home, go away and stop lusting after the power, position, property and control of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. If there is to be one spot in the world that doesn't think like the dominating ecumenical people all over the world, we suggest that you attend a holiness church and sing, dance and jump and praise Christ. Something is bound to convert you from despots.]
A simple beginning, a simple way to network, but if we can’t accomplish even the simplest objectives then it is past time to jump. The objection may be that by saying we are Progressive Adventists we will alienate some church members; we won’t be able to gently sway them into more progressive ideas.
[Why is that your objective when you even made presence into the Adventist Church telling them no one should demand that others think the way they do?]
Yet with no organization and no real Progressive Adventist structure to gently sway them to, we gently push them out on the tightrope that we can barely stand.
[If we tell the truth, we will warn Adventists that "Progressive Adventists" never were Adventists at all, but are Jesuits!]
