One of the most lamentable consequences of Adventist teachings is the nearly total isolation of its members from the rest of the body of Christ. 

By the time I met our father he was in a nursing home and was not cognitively able to acknowledge my presence.   And yet, for the first time in my life, I gazed into eyes that looked like my own and glimpsed where I had come from. 

One day, tragedy struck and as my world spun out of control, and my heart was broken, I was also confronted with the reality that the religion I had believed to be The Truth, didn’t have what I needed in this time of deepest sorrow and need.  Sadly, I had no idea that there was anything better. 

I no longer have to match scripture to what I have been taught.  I am a blood bought Christian and I believe in the Word of God. In John 8:31 & 32, Jesus says, “…If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and truth will set you free.” I praise God daily for He has set me free.

 Royce and I would like to invite our family, friends and readers that remain in the Adventist religion to read Galatians and open their hearts and to understand that God changed the day of worship.  In Hebrews 4:6, 7 the writer says, “Therefore, God again set a certain day, calling it Today.”  Worshipping God is not about a day. It is about a person, Jesus Christ.  I pray that God touches your heart through our stories and that you too shed the yoke of slavery and the worshi

My family and I did eventually leave – but instead of ruining my life, it opened my heart to Jesus. He is now more important to me than a day could ever be. He is my Sabbath rest every day of my life. Oh, by the way, there is life after Adventism – full, happy, deep Christ-centered life.

I was sure that my friend would "see the truth" in our studies and I would help convert him (he was Christian, mind you – just not an Adventist). I never imagined it would be the other way around!

Dear reader, I share these experiences in order to provide information about the SDA Church and the process of leaving it. Perhaps when God puts SDAs in the pathway of your life, you can minister to them in a more informed way, realizing that they are not just another denomination of people who worship on Saturday instead of Sunday. In reality, most are afraid to leave the church and frightened of death because they do not know how to fully rely on the grace of Christ for the

We believe we are saved by grace, sealed and indwelt by the Holy Spirit, are joint heirs with Christ, are right now sitting in Heavenly places with Christ, have the righteousness of God in Christ, have eternal life right now because we believe in Christ and Him who sent Him., This is all God’s word.

The veil of Adventism is thick like armor. It is heavy and cumbersome. It binds and restricts. But my Savior is careful to tenderly remove the veil from my heart, one layer at a time, until I am finally free. Thank you, Jesus.

The complexity and depth of the grip of Adventism is just now becoming evident to me. Just when I think the work is finished, I find another layer of falsehood that must be renounced and washed away.

Several years ago, my wife Karen and I started praying for God to show us the truth. We realized it was time to start teaching our children what we believed, so we began a journey to know God.

How can anything about hell glorify God? Those who advocate annihilation often appeal to the love and mercy of God as the basis for their rejection of eternal punishment.

hese studies will explore the historical evolution of the Sabbath, the Ten Commandments, and our connection as Christians to the everlasting covenant.

t feels threatening to questions beliefs that have defined our lives. But refusing to do so suggests fear that the teachings cannot stand up under scriptural scrutiny.

Legitimate questions arise as we undertake the study of the foundations and doctrines unique to Adventism. “Why should we study them?  Isn’t this just a distraction from the gospel and from Jesus? Is this just another form of legalism and the religious spirit? Who cares? Do you think we are hung up on that old stuff?”

Because the Adventist Church has stated that none of its beliefs come from Ellen White but from the Bible alone (as supported by Ellen White), I believe it is very important to investigate this claim and to be clear on what scriptures actually teach. Are any of the above assertions true? 

“What, then, was the purpose of the law? It was added because of transgressions until the Seed to whom the promise referred had come. The law was put into effect through angels by a mediator.  A mediator, however, does not represent just one party; but God is one. ” Gal 3:19-20 (NIV)

Summary of the Old Covenant: Covenant partners: God and Israel as they replied “All you have said we will do”. Beneficiaries: the people of Israel.  The prerequisite sign: circumcision The repetitive sign: The Sabbath

There is a teaching in Adventism that alleges that the Ten Commandments are eternal and unchanging. We were taught, “they are a transcript of God’s character.” And since God never changes this law can never change. Even speaking those words seems to carry with them the weight of cannon truth. The difficulty comes when one tries to find that teaching in the Bible.
