Pride Month has become an international freak show that takes place in June and comes complete with nudity, debauchery, bondage, and sexual decadence—all aimed toward children. [1] Homosexual activists, trans militants, and drag queens openly flaunt their sin, promote it brazenly, and parade it proudly down the main streets of society. Truly, during pride month, the revelers “parade their sin like Sodom.”
“The look of their faces testify against them. They parade their sin like Sodom. They don’t hide it. Woe to their soul! For they have brought disaster upon themselves.” Isaiah 3:9 (Word English Version).
Tragically, some institutions affiliated with the Seventh-day Adventist Church are “honoring” the Pride Month celebration while ignoring the repulsive, sinful behavior that is displayed during this event. Adventist Health Portland is part of Adventist Health (Adventist Health System/West) and falls under the North Pacific Union Conference. [2] On June 5, 2023, the following post honoring Pride Month was published on Adventist Health Portland’s Facebook page:
“Whole-person health care starts with honoring what makes you uniquely you. This Pride Month, we’re listening to the voices of our wonderfully diverse community so we can inspire health, wholeness and hope for everyone. Read our inclusion statement at AdventistHealth.org/PortlandDEI” (Facebook post). [3]
Even some Adventist institutions have been persuaded by LGBT+ activists that their sexual revolution is good and that anyone who objects to their pride parades is hateful. Good has become evil, and evil is good. Have we lost sight of the fact that this was predicted to occur?
“Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.” Isaiah 5:20.
While June may be the month to celebrate everything homosexual, it’s important to remind people of the very first pride celebration, which took place many years ago. Sodomy was a sin committed during the very first pride celebration, and God did not look on it favorably.
“And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly.” 2 Peter 2:6
Have we also forgotten that the very first Pride Day did not go down very well? Unfortunately, this is what will happen to anyone who chooses to parade their sin rather than repenting of it. But instead of repenting, the LGBT+ movement now needs more than a month-long celebration. A call is being made to celebrate the sin of Sodom for the entire summer.

Warren Hick, a Seventh-day Adventist from Australia, said it best:
“It is time Seventh-day Adventists started calling sin by its right name instead of excusing and supporting it. God calls it sin, and He offers to provide the power to overcome it—all of them. To suggest these practices cannot be overcome is actually declaring that God is powerless to give us the victory. And if that were the case, none of us would have any hope of victory over sin, so no eternal life. But that is not the case. Jesus proved it. He was tempted in all points, as we are, yet He did not sin. He set the benchmark for victory over sin. Ellen White tells us that the same Divine power Jesus accessed from Heaven to overcome sin is available to every one of us. Therefore, do not tell me I have to accept this sin, or any other, for that matter. God will not accept it, and He will not accept those who flagrantly and wantonly engage in any sin without remorse or desire to overcome. Sin is a choice, as is victory in Christ Jesus. For an Adventist organization to run an ad like this, they are taunting God. They are daring God to react and bring His judgment on them. Israel did it a thousand times over; sadly, as a church organization, we are arrogantly slow learners. Little wonder Ellen White spoke of not 1 in 100 Adventists being ready for the Second Coming.”

Pr Roman,
Isaiah Chapter One Describes the Condition Of Adventism. It is Rotten From Top to Bottom.
Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children
that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of
Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.
5 ¶ Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole
head is sick, and the whole heart faint.
6 From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have
not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment.
7 Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your
presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.
8 And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.
9 Except the LORD of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been
as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah.
10 ¶ Hear the word of the LORD, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God,
ye people of Gomorrah.
11 To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me?saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and
I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats.
12 When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts?
13 Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths,
the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.§§
14 Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto
me; I am weary to bear them.
15 And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of
blood.
16 ¶ Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine
eyes; cease to do evil;
17 Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.
18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red
like crimson, they shall be as wool. 19 If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good
of the land:
20 But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the
mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.
21 ¶ How is the faithful city become an harlot! it was full of judgment; righteousness
lodged in it; but now murderers.
22 Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed withwater:
23 Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves: every one loveth gifts,
and followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the
widow come unto them.
Isaiah 1
¶ Therefore thou hast forsaken thy people the house of Jacob, because they be
replenished from the east, and are soothsayers like the Philistines, and they please
themselves in the children of strangers.
7 Their land also is full of silver and gold,neither is there any end of their treasures; their land is also full of horses, neither is
there any end of their chariots:
8 Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made:
9 And the mean man boweth down, and the great man humbleth himself: therefore forgive them not.
10 ¶ Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, for fear of the LORD, and for the
glory of his majesty.
11 The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.
12 For the day of the LORD of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every
one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low:
Isaiah 2
The Fate of Adventists who Refuse to sigh and Cry for the Abominations of the Church and Separate from Sin and Sinners regardless of what they call themselves.
17 And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.
18 And the idols he shall utterly abolish.
19 And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he
ariseth to shake terribly the earth.
20 In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and to
the bats;

“Yet I have left me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him.” 1 Kings 19:18.
Eric Doering says
Pastor Roman,
I support your efforts on this website. In this work, you are drawing together the 7,000 which refuse to accept the Baal worship that the SDA denomination is promoting, and letting us know that there are others out there so that we may not be discouraged. Just know, however, that when the 10 tribes were taken and the nation destroyed, all the people were either killed or taken captive into Assyria – we don’t know for sure if the 7000 or their descendants were taken as well, but I assume that they were part of those that were spared who fled to Jerusalem and were not killed or deported.
Later, when Babylon took Jerusalem in the time of Jeremiah, only a few, those who heeded the words of the prophet, were spared. The rest of the nation was either destroyed, or taken captive. What was the reason? Because the church (Jerusalem) had forgotten the true God and instead worshipped false gods. The evidence of this false worship was manifested in Judah by the practice of iniquity, just as you report is happening in the SDA denomination! My brother, this is not coincidence. God is trying to show his people what we must do, even though it hurts.
Later still, when Jerusalem was taken by the Romans, only the true disciples of Christ were saved in that they saw the signs prophesied and fled from Jerusalem beforehand. All the other inhabitants were destroyed. History is about to repeat itself once again, except this will be the last iteration and the destruction suffered will be a permanent and final one – both for the institution representing God’s professed people and the individuals which support that institution simply by their presence. I don’t want your voice to the voice of the man described in the first chapter of The Great Controversy that cried in the streets of Jerusalem day and night proclaiming it’s doom, only to die together with the inhabitants of the city because he refused to heed the warning, declared even by his own lips!
As you know, all my posts tend to be long, but it’s because I don’t think anything worth saying should be left half-said. With that, the following is a copy paste from Ezekiel 16 with my comments [in brackets]. Please consider it carefully. I hope anyone that reads this will not consider it to be merely a history lesson. I also hope that you or anyone else will not look for a quote that can be construed/interpreted to indicate that Jerusalem (the SDA church) will not be destroyed for it’s apostacy, in contradiction to the plain statements made throughout Isaiah, Jeremiah and Ezekiel. To do so is pitting Christ against Christ and we must never do such a thing. All scripture must be reconciled to support the same system of truth. If there is seeming contradiction, then we can know that we must reevaluate our position/interpretation.
EZEKIEL16
(1) Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, (2) Son of man, cause Jerusalem [Jerusalem = Seventh-day Adventist organization] to know her abominations,
(15) But thou didst trust in thine own beauty, and playedst the harlot [harlot = corrupt church] because of thy renown, and pouredst out thy fornications on every one that passed by; his it was. (16) And of thy garments thou didst take, and deckedst thy high places [high places = places where false worship is practiced] with divers colours, and playedst the harlot thereupon: the like things shall not come, neither shall it be so. (17) Thou hast also taken thy fair jewels of my gold and of my silver, which I had given thee, and madest to thyself images of men, and didst commit whoredom with them,
(20) Moreover thou hast taken thy sons and thy daughters, whom thou hast borne unto me, and these hast thou sacrificed unto them to be devoured [children being aborted and mutilated in Adventist hospitals, children sent to Adventist Schools to be trained in extending the practice of wickedness]. Is this of thy whoredoms a small matter, (21) That thou hast slain my children, and delivered them to cause them to pass through the fire for them? (22) And in all thine abominations and thy whoredoms thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, when thou wast naked and bare, and wast polluted in thy blood.
(23) And it came to pass after all thy wickedness, (woe, woe unto thee! saith the Lord GOD;) (24) That thou hast also built unto thee an eminent place, and hast made thee an high place in every street [see verse 31 for explanation]. (25) Thou hast built thy high place at every head of the way [again, see verse 31], and hast made thy beauty to be abhorred, and hast opened thy feet to every one that passed by [ecumenical intimacy with every other false church on earth], and multiplied thy whoredoms.
(26) Thou hast also committed fornication with the Egyptians thy neighbours [Egyptians = sorcerers and pagans = Disney, Broadway, sporting mega-companies, etc.], great of flesh; and hast increased thy whoredoms, to provoke me to anger. (27) Behold, therefore I have stretched out my hand over thee, and have diminished thine ordinary food, and delivered thee unto the will of them that hate thee, the daughters of the Philistines [Philistines = our neighbors such as the Baptists which are taking a stand against wickedness even though they don’t have the complete truth — note that the Philistines didn’t look into the ark… that was Israel], which are ashamed of thy lewd way.
(28) Thou hast played the whore also with the Assyrians [another one of our neighbors to whom we are extending our hand to bridge the gulf], because thou wast unsatiable; yea, thou hast played the harlot with them, and yet couldest not be satisfied. (29) Thou hast moreover multiplied thy fornication in the land of Canaan [Canaan = the complete compendium of “Christian” denominations] unto Chaldea [Chaldea = Babylon = guess who]; and yet thou wast not satisfied herewith. (30) How weak is thine heart, saith the Lord GOD, seeing thou doest all these things, the work of an imperious whorish woman; (31) In that thou buildest thine eminent place in the head of every way [GC located near the nation’s capital, Division and Union offices always located in important if not capital cities], and makest thine high place in every street (SDA churches built on important streets in every city, town and even village]; and hast not been as an harlot, in that thou scornest hire [SDA denomination has 501(c)(3) “non-profit” status]; (32) But as a wife that committeth adultery, which taketh strangers instead of her husband! (33) They give gifts to all whores: but thou givest thy gifts to all thy lovers, and hirest them, that they may come unto thee on every side for thy whoredom. (34) And the contrary is in thee from other women in thy whoredoms, whereas none followeth thee to commit whoredoms [SDA’s lead the way as directors and chairperson of ecumenical organizations]: and in that thou givest a reward, and no reward is given unto thee, therefore thou art contrary.
(35) Wherefore, O HARLOT, hear the word of the LORD: (36) Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thy filthiness was poured out, and thy nakedness discovered through thy whoredoms with thy lovers, and with all the idols of thy abominations, and by the blood of thy children, which thou didst give unto them; (37) Behold, therefore I will gather all thy lovers, with whom thou hast taken pleasure, and all them that thou hast loved, with all them that thou hast hated; I will even gather them round about against thee, and will discover thy nakedness unto them, that they may see all thy nakedness. (38) And I will judge thee, as women that break wedlock and shed blood are judged; and I will give thee blood in fury and jealousy.
(39) And I will also give thee into their hand, and they shall throw down thine eminent place [remember, eminent place = the corporate structure in all the important capital cities], and shall break down thy high places [church buildings]: they shall strip thee also of thy clothes, and shall take thy fair jewels, and leave thee naked and bare [nothing will be left of the financial structure… including the mega billions from AdventHealth]. (40) They shall also bring up a company against thee, and they shall stone thee with stones, and thrust thee through with their swords [death]. (41) And they shall burn thine houses with fire, and execute judgments upon thee in the sight of many women [women = churches]: and I will cause thee to cease from playing the harlot, and thou also shalt give no hire any more.
(42) So will I make my fury toward thee to rest, and my jealousy shall depart from thee, and I will be quiet, and will be no more angry. (43) Because thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, but hast fretted me in all these things; behold, therefore I also will recompense thy way upon thine head, saith the Lord GOD: and thou shalt not commit this lewdness above all thine abominations.
(44) Behold, every one that useth proverbs shall use this proverb against thee, saying, As is the mother [“Babylon, mother of harlots and abominations of the earth”], so is her daughter. (45) Thou art thy mother’s daughter [who is God revealing that the SDA church’s mother is?], that lotheth her husband and her children; and thou art the sister of thy sisters, which lothed their husbands and their children: your mother was an Hittite, and your father an Amorite. (46) And thine elder sister is Samaria [Samaria = 10 tribes of Israel is also symbolic of churches that were previously taken captive and destroyed], she and her daughters that dwell at thy left hand: and thy younger sister, that dwelleth at thy right hand, is Sodom and her daughters [Sodom = the capitol of sexual perversion – the very thing that you repeatedly write about Pator Roman!]. (47) Yet hast thou not walked after their ways, nor done after their abominations: but, as if that were a very little thing, thou wast corrupted more than they in all thy ways. (48) As I live, saith the Lord GOD, Sodom thy sister hath not done, she nor her daughters, as thou hast done, thou and thy daughters. (49) Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy. (50) And they were haughty, and committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I saw good. (51) Neither hath Samaria committed half of thy sins; but thou hast multiplied thine abominations more than they, and hast justified thy sisters in all thine abominations which thou hast done [Again, this is word for word describing those things that you report on… the very act of the SDA denomination continuing in this rebellion is evidence that she justifies herself in her own actions]. (52) Thou also, which hast judged thy sisters, bear thine own shame for thy sins that thou hast committed more abominable than they: they are more righteous than thou: yea, be thou confounded also, and bear thy shame, in that thou hast justified thy sisters.
(59) For thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even deal with thee as thou hast done, which hast despised the oath in breaking the covenant. (60) Nevertheless I will remember my covenant with thee in the days of thy youth, and I will establish unto thee an everlasting covenant [now we come to the part which parallels the 7,000 which have not bowed the knee unto Baal]. (61) Then thou shalt remember thy ways, and be ashamed, when thou shalt receive thy sisters, thine elder and thy younger: and I will give them unto thee for daughters, but not by thy covenant.
(62) And I will establish my covenant with thee; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD: (63) That thou mayest remember, and be confounded, and never open thy mouth any more because of thy shame, when I am pacified toward thee for all that thou hast done, saith the Lord GOD.
The time has come my brother. You know more about the whoredoms of this people than most in the world. Call the 7,000 to separate themselves from being joined unto idolatry and wickedness. Read the chapter of Early Writings title “False Shepherds” once again (pg 123-125). This is not a call to come out of Seventh-day Adventism, NEVER! This is a call to come back to Seventh-day Adventism in it’s native purity and beauty and the system of truth that was laid out by Christ himself. Sadly, this cannot be done from within the walls of Jerusalem for the very reasons Ezekiel and Jeremiah explain. This is why God will destroy the Seventh-day Adventist system, but his faithful people who come out will continue to declare the three angels’ messages with the power of the angel from heaven that lightens the whole with his glory.
I pray that we will find one another in that mission field.
Alan says
Warren Hick is spot on !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Barbara+Varro says
I agree with the article completely, but where did those pictures come from? They insinuate they were in the AdventHealth article. I think all hospitals should treat everyone with respect, that’s a given. Even if you don’t agree with their lifestyle.
William Andress says
And now Rachel Levine is going to be the keynote speaker in November at the American Public Health Association’s (APHA) annual meeting. APHA is the largest public health organization in America with conference attendees numbering over 13,000 on a regular basis. They have a powerful influence on determining public health policies in America so you can see the agenda that they are pushing.

Hello William,
That would be Ralph Levine.
Have a blessed day,

I recently exposed the devil’s last day plans in a small church in Virginia, which can be seen on Youtube. (See Compton Ole Country Church of Jesus Christ- 07/01/23.)
Fast forward the first 29 minutes then I will appear in front of the church. It will be an hour well spent. Several have found this presentation to be interesting and Biblical. Check it out. God bless and take care. C.W. Good

Eric Doering says
I couldn’t help noticing that the entire video was about making social connections. Yes, they said they wanted to show Jesus in all that they did, but it’s difficult for me to see Jesus in an “exercise” (ahem, dancing) session on the mall, or in a CCM style praise service, or in holi-day meals. To show forth Jesus is to proclaim the straight truth, which often cuts like a two edged sword. To show forth Jesus means to remove your jewels, earings and nose rings and to sanctify yourself as a people for holy use. To show forth Jesus is to join together with three angels in declaring the last solemn warnings to a perishing world, not in making safe spaces.
