Some reason's why I'm against Adventist's doctrines...
I can tell that there are a few people (not naming names, you know who they are) are part of the denomination, my spouse used to be with by the way he/she explains away the issue of hell/sabbath/church ect.. It's the exact words I've heard before.
I do use the Bible alone. However they do not. You use the writings of Ellen White as "training wheels" to endorse your beliefs by claiming she was a prophet who had new revelations about the Bible. Many have been proven false by proof of her being a plagiarist.
How can you, or anyone read Revelation 20:10 about the devil, the beast and the false prophet being thrown into the lake of fire where " they will be tormented day and night for ever and ever" and then in verse 15 it says" if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire", and think this is just annihilation? Tormented day and night forever and ever is not a literal statement, it's reality.
I do not know who the antichrist is or the false prophet. However, according to their teaching system, this is the pope and his agents who plan to force everyone to worship on Sunday, therefore receiving the mark of the beast. Yeah....right. Talk about a vendetta against a denomination.
I've heard this quote: "The best view one can have of God is from hell". That has a lot of emphasis, as we do not know the full results of what our sin does and unless we have forgiveness through Jesus, the end results will be eternally tragic. I'm quite sure that many people regret believeing the teaching of being annihilated when they find themselves in hell for forever. Eternity is a long time to be wrong about this.
It's so typical of SDA's to spread the idea that those who leave their denomination are bitter towards someone. They can't accept that people do study their way out of Adventism by reading the Bible alone, without any SDA propaganda influences.
Trying to convince everyone and yourself that you are not influenced by Ellen White's teachings and writings is hogwash. That's what the base of Adventism is built upon. Not the Bible, but her so-called visions. To deny this is a flat out lie!
I would like to add..that..I never said anyone who teaches annihilation is hellbound. I do say that it's not what the Bible teaches. Jesus described hell is described as fire, and a place of weeping and gnashing of teeth, torment, a place of deepest darkness, gloomy dungeons, etc. This is hardly annihilation! Whose words are you going to believe? Jesus or Ellen White's?
It's quite clear that hell is eternal.
