THE CHURCH PLAYS THE HARLOT IN THE LAST REMNANT OF TIME!
One thing it is certain
is soon to be realized,--the great
apostasy, which is developing and increasing
and waxing stronger, and will continue to do
so until the Lord shall descend from heaven
with a shout.
We are to hold fast
the first principles of our denominated
faith, and go forward from strength to
increased faith. Ever we are to keep the
faith that that has been substantiated by
the Holy Spirit of God from the earlier
events of our experience, until the present
time. We need now larger breadth, and
deeper, more earnest, unwavering faith in
the leadings of the Holy Spirit.
If we
needed the manifest proof of the Holy
Spirit's power to confirm truth in the
beginning after the passing of the time, we
need today all the evidence in the
confirmation of the truth, when souls are
departing from the faith and giving heed to
seducing spirits and doctrines of devils.
There must not be any languishing of soul
now.
(NYI,
February 7, 1906
par. 1)
The first, second, and third
angels' messages are to be repeated. The call is to be given to the church:
"Babylon
the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the
hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. For
all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the
kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of
the earth have waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. . . .
Come
out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye
receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath
remembered her iniquities."
Many who went forth to meet the Bridegroom under the messages of the
first and second angels, refused the third, the last testing message to be
given to the world, and a similar position will be taken when the last call is
made.
(From "The Parable of the Ten Virgins," R&H, October 31, 1899)
A SPECTACLE OF CORRUPTION
FOR ALL THE WORLD TO SEE
A staggering depth of
depravity behind the facade of piety and holiness - and
arrogance in the face of legitimate inquiry:
Before the crisis meeting, the
Vatican's secretary of state, Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone,
had called on clergy who had abused children to admit to
their "abominable acts" in a scandal that threatened to
sink the church in Ireland. He told the bishops: "The
most dangerous storm is that which touches the heart of
believers, shaking their faith and threatening their
capacity to entrust themselves to God."
That call was undermined in Dublin by
the news that the papal nuncio in Ireland,
Cardinal Giuseppe Leanza, has refused to appear before a
parliamentary inquiry in the Dáil, saying in a letter
last week that "it is not the
practice of the Holy See that apostolic nuncios appear
before parliamentary commissions". Leanza has
ignored requests from earlier official Irish
investigations to assist them. (From
"Pope Benedict lambasts Irish Catholic church . . .;"
emphasis added)
The world admires and allies
itself with the power and influence:
And after these
things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having
great power; and the earth was lightened with his
glory. And
he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon
the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the
habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit,
and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. For
all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her
fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed
fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are
waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
(Rev. 18:1-3; emphasis added)
And the beast
which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were
as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth
of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his
seat, and great authority. And
I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and
his deadly wound was healed: and all the world
wondered after the beast [And all the world
marveled and followed the beast (NKJV; emphasis
added)]. (Rev. 13:2-3)
AND THE SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST
CHURCH PLAYS THE HARLOT!!
(Apostate apologetics)
THE EPITOME OF
HARLOTRY
"Although it is true that there was a period in the
life of the Seventh-day Adventist Church when the
denomination took a distinctly anti-Roman Catholic
viewpoint, and the term "hierarchy" was used in a
pejorative sense to refer to the papal form of
church governance,
that attitude on the church's
part was nothing more than a manifestation of
widespread anti-popery among conservative Protestant
denominations in the early part of this century and
the latter part of the last, and
which has now
been consigned to the historical trash heap so far
as the Seventh-day Adventist Church is concerned."
