SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH

THE GHOST BEHIND THE LIE

You can not eat Beef! That is a sin! Remember the body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, and we must abstain from that flesh that harms our body! I was emphatically told by a brother in the Seventh-day Adventist Church, except in a cult where I was, but I could not be bothered by such an affirmation and I decided to do a Bible study about it, which resulted in this article.

I came home, I looked for the Bible and I did not find any part where God pointed out that the Beef was Sin, or that we should abstain from it, they are only biblical interpretations and interpretations arisen from his great Prophet Ellen White, that since then I can never share.

Ellen G. White

Foundress of the church IDSD

Ellen White is Venerated, loved by Adventists, is the founder of the Church, to such an extent that some put above the sacred scriptures his famous books, as in this case where from diet advice is not only urging the brothers of the church to stop eating meat but worse still condemning in the name of God their consumption.

So far I am going to celebrate one year in the Seventh-day Adventist Church, but when I decided to be baptized, I did it because I was being dragged by a world of excesses and drug abuse, I was looking for emotional and spiritual healing and it was a blessing to find a great family to which I love very much, but as in every family there are differences, from the beginning I would never accept a prophet different from those who are in the Word of God; He came from another religious denomination where they also worshiped a prophet, then he was not in a position to believe in more men, so they would say that they were used by the Holy Spirit.

From the beginning I had things clear, I will never be vegetarian, let alone follow the enlightened appraisals of the prophet White, which always seemed crazy, abusive and excessive; However, he remained in the church because he has very beautiful things that others do not have, such as brotherhood, respect and organization.

But I am reaching the limit, it is good that I refrain from pork, because in Leviticus it is forbidden, but beef? Someone might think that I am the most carnivorous person, but it is not so, what bothers greatly is how they intend to use the word of God to govern the life of men in a way that God has not ordered, because to call sin something that is not Is it sin, because such an aberration is made? Even the very consumption of coffee is condemned in the Church as Sin, and where is the biblical verse that indicates it.

Ellen White is questioned for plagiarizing many of her books, she could not write all of her countless books, among her most controversial statements is that she saw Enoch on Jupiter and Saturn, that wearing a wig causes madness, that the seal of God is the Saturday, when is the Holy Spirit, but the most serious was the affirmation that Jesus would come on the Day of Atonement, October 22, 1844, and failure, then as every sect manipulated the interpretation to justify his error.

The word of God says a true prophet is recognized because what speaks in the name of God is fulfilled:

Deuteronomy Chapter 18:

20: But the prophet who takes it on himself to say words in my name which I have not given him orders to say, or who says anything in the name of other gods, will come to his death.

21: And if you say in your hearts, How are we to be certain that the word does not come from the Lord?

22: When a prophet makes a statement in the name of the Lord, if what he says does not take place and his words do not come true, then his word is not the word of the Lord: the words of the prophet were said in the pride of his heart, and you are to have no fear of him.

Then Ellen White is not a prophet, she is the founder of the church, but she is not a prophet, her words were fulfilled and so there are other things she predicted that were not fulfilled.

The Seventh-day Adventist Church has all the characteristics to be called a religious sect, precisely because they want to govern even the most aspects of a human being's life, from how to eat, how to sit, how to walk; the sects follow prophets, their religious leaders and depart from the true doctrine of Jesus Christ. Sects tend to manipulate the lives of their parishioners with erroneous interpretations of the bible.

Of course, meat or coffee is sin and the word of God says in 1 Timothy chapter 4 verse 3: That in the last times...

“who keep men from being married and from taking food which God made to be taken with praise by those who have faith and true knowledge.”

And they are already forbidding to abstain from meals.

There is an arrogance about many brothers in the church who believe themselves to be superior to others because they study the Bible, because they know texts by heart and recite them constantly, they believe they have the right to judge those who do not share their opinions, many of them they are people who do not know the minimal rules of a literary interpretation, who do not know what a syllogism is, or even how to shred a narrative, but still believe that they are guided by the holy spirit in the study and that gives them power, to say to those of us who think differently, that we have a cauterized mind, that we reject God, that we do not understand the meaning of the Bible, that is a lot of daring please, especially when I spend five years in a law school trying to understand and analyze texts Legal.

What happens is that in many of the religious congregations they put ignorant people, without having finished studies to study the word of God, and as blind, they say Amen to all kinds of atrocities.

And remember that the word of God says:

Romans 14:3

“Let not him who takes food have a low opinion of him who does not: and let not him who does not take food be a judge of him who does; for he has God's approval.”

Paul addresses the Romans exhorting them that for matters of food, there are no clashes between brothers and unless due to this, they stumble for each other, as it makes very clear in the previous verse

I do not know when I will retire from the Church but I see it soon, because I can never share these Biblical Doctrines, God is one, and is above any difference and human belief, we must not stop there, I will never allow them to reach manipulate my mind with the false belief of being the Holy Spirit, because they are things of men, so I apologize to the Church, but this is my opinion.
