On Thursday, August 5, 2021, Pastor Mark Finley gave a lecture during the ASI Convention in Orlando, FL. His theme was on what principles should guide us when interacting with government authorities. In his lecture, Pastor Finley mentioned that many are stirring up controversy in Adventism by speaking out against government mandates and decisions. Notice the full statement:
“Some people are more interested in the political parties in the governments of this world than they are in the government of heaven. Some people divide the Adventist Church based on government’s decisions and they bring conflict into the church because of a certain political party or a certain government mandate and they divide the church over that issue. That is a terrible tragedy.” (YouTube video above)
Oh really? Is this a tragedy? We will come back and address the mandates of the government, but first let’s talk about the real tragedy taking place in Adventism. Pastor Mark Finley, what about obeying papal mandates? How about engaging in Eucharistic unity with Rome and the other churches? What about the Ecumenical Charter we told people we were not going to be engaging in anymore? Well, it’s still happening. What about certain church unions in Spain and Italy who are following the mandates contained in the papal encyclical Laudato Si’? What about Ganoune Diop and other leaders promoting the mandates contained in the papal encyclical Fratelli Tutti? All of this is fully documented, with much more.
I suggest we take a huge knife and cut the foundations of the church in two and see how much Catholic social teaching is devouring the spirituality of Adventism. Instead of lecturing us on government mandates, Pastor Mark Finley should begin by taking action at the highest levels of the church and use a knife to cut away the worms eating away the lifeblood of the movement. Slice down to the heart of our foundation of our beliefs so that you can identify the rot that is souring the mission and message of the church.
Now, regarding government mandates, Andrew Cuomo, former New York governor, is out, thankfully. He was a petty dictator who arbitrarily issued unfair mandates on his own authority. Gavin Newsom, soon to be a former California governor, is also on his way out. These are just two examples of men who destroyed the livelihoods of tens of thousands of businesses, ruined restaurants, put people out of work, destroyed the service industries, and for what! By imposing their own arbitrary mandates that they themselves were not willing to follow.
Gavin Newsom closed all restaurants in California and they all had to obey his mandates, but then he threw a big dinner for his friends and family with dancing at a restaurant that was closed to everyone else. Now Mark Finley says, “Don’t say anything, and don’t talk about government mandates.” But Praise the Lord; the people of California are not following this kind of advice. They followed their constitutional rights by recalling their governor. This is a movement carried out by Democrats, Republicans, Independents, Moderates, and Libertarians. People voted for him and have the right to kick him out for his unfair and arbitrary mandates that destroyed jobs, cost people their livelihood and left many people out of work.
We have even more mandates that are creating a new class of discriminated citizens. They are called the “non vaccinated.” They are not granted the same freedoms that are given to the vaccinated. Some are fired from their jobs; some are not allowed to attend school, travel, and shop, eat at restaurants and enjoy other basic civil liberties. What we don’t realize is that our civil and religious liberties stand together or fall together. When civil liberties disappear, our religious rights will disappear with them. Notice what inspiration says:
“Many were driven across the ocean to America and here laid the foundations of civil and religious liberty which have been the bulwark and glory of this country” (Great Controversy, p. 252).
We are Protestants, not Catholics. We are Americans, not North Koreans. Protesting is in our DNA. And we cannot remain indifferent when our freedoms are under attack. As civil and religious liberties are suppressed, as governors and mayors rewrite the laws of the land with their “mandates,” may Seventh-day Adventists not give such weak responses to what is currently happening.
If politicians can unilaterally abolish our fundamental liberties by simply declaring them “non essential”, then we no longer have any Constitutional rights. The “Bill of Rights” quickly becomes symbolic and is no longer “guaranteed.” Freedom becomes a nice concept without any real application.
State governors are exercising absolute power when deciding what is essential and what is not for their citizens. Some governors have unilaterally allowed abortion clinics, marijuana dispensaries and liquor stores to remain open, while unilaterally restricting churches. To speak out against this disparity in these government mandates is not political but Constitutional. The Constitution allows us the right to peaceably assemble to petition the government for a redress of grievances:
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.” (1st Amendment of the US Constitution).
The government has no authority to declare that our “Bill of Rights” is not essential. Our civil and religious liberties must be protected from rogue, corrupt governors who are turning citizens into slaves and subjects. Mark Finley should stick to cleaning up the church from Rome’s political influences that are decimating Adventism; and let the citizens of the United States follow their Constitutional right to clean up the mess left by unjust politicians.
LK EK says
Amen! We try to articulate these things to others, but most will not listen. The “terrible tragedy” is allowing this denomination to become this rotten wreck of a “ship”. Let us see if Pastor Mark Finley has the fortitude to try to refute one single word. We suspect not. Let us see if he can prove any of these facts to be wrong. It won’t happen. Woe to them, hypocrites! The truth ALWAYS triumphs.
timothy siver says
Yet……, the church obeys and celebrates a military that sends our youth to fight for “freedom” in mandated corrupted wars. Finley is confused……
Angela Farnham says
I don’t understand how our church can expect people to take a experimental injection. Fetal tissue is used in these “vaccines”. Where does this fetal tissue come from? Are there that many babies dying of natural causes they are able to harvest enough tissue to create millions AND millions of injections? NO!! Babies are being killed and the tissue is being sold. BABIES are being KILLED.
Torah Tom says
Mark Finley and the entire “cabinet” of the GC needs to be recalled along with 95% of the Washington DC buffoons. Such men are not fit to even preach in the church or govern the nation. Lynching is too good for them. They should join the politically correct churches of the harlot. Maybe they don’t have to as the SDA corporate beast is aligning very nicely with mama Harlot in Rome. Amazing that those who stand up for justice and freedom now are the problem even in the church. Such men are not even Americans and should go live in N. Korea. Such a sad disappointment is Mark Finely. Keep preaching the truth until the synagogue of Satan SDA Rabbi’s silence you.
timothy siver says
Good to hear from you Torah Tom……. Torah Tim…..
Torah Tom says
Blessings torahtim. Glad to. Hear from you.. Yah has blessed us with a strong congregation and baptized 17 today in the lake. SDA’s are leaving the corporate beast and joining biblical Israel at an alarming rate. Time to flee babylon and escape the fires of hell that will punish all the daughters of the harlot, Rome.
Fran says
There were very few facts in the article. It simply demonstrated the divide Pastor Finley was talking about. God help us. Satan is hard at work.
Genaro says
That’s exactly what I thought when I read this article and the comments. We are acting as if we don’t know the world is going to change for the worse. We’ve been warned about this. Are we helping others prepare for the spiritual war or are we too busy protesting and demanding recalls? We forget that God is in control and His will will be done despite of what we think we can control. This article saddens me, but it doesn’t surprise me. If churches are doing things they shouldn’t, then they should be addressed by their conference leaders. As a denomination, we should proclaim the 3 angels’ message. God help us.
Alan says
I hope you are faithful when you are being tortured for your faith. Are maybe facing the guillotine. Like the Jews faced the gas chamber. No body did anything to stop it before it was to late. Peter tells us in Acts 5:29 Then Peter and the [other] apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men. Paul tells us in 1st Cor. 6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost [which is] in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
6:20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.
I do not take any medication of any kind and i am not going to take a vaccine that is an experimental vaccine that is proven NOT to work. Or to wear a mask that has me breathing my own carbon dioxide and also does not stop any virus from going through it. Or to stop visiting family or friends. You can do all these things if you want. You body, your choice.
Alan says
By Mark Finley bringing up what he sees to be division he was just causing division himself. Dividing those that agree with him from those that do not.
Ron says
That right there is gold. I amazes me to no end how many people get all hot and bothered, like Mark Finley, warning us about causing divisions, while doing the very thing he pontificates against.
Get with the program, Mark. There is ALREADY a division. It only remains which side of this division you want to take. And I think you gave us your answer.
Donald Scales says
Revelation 18:23 Amazing how many 501c3 Pastors in SDA are unfamiliar with this scripture? (sarc)
Jay Bowman says
When He (Mark Finley) agrees with the pope on vaccines what can we expect? It is quite obvious he also agrees with Tony
Palmer who said “the protest is over”. Maybe he is a Catholic
Fran says
They both agree that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
Ron says
And satan agrees with that as well.
Jon says
No articles for almost a week
Brother AR
You had us worried
Were praying for you
Welcome back
😊
Jon says
Mark Finley is the same person who some years back had died a young Korean SDA pastor for using some images from i i written material
I guess he never read
Freely yr have received freely give
Jon says
Sorry above
Sued korean pastor
Ambrozine Jeffrey says
This is to show that most of these SDA pastors are working with Jesuits or they are Jesuits themselves. May God have mercy on them.
YesMsJane says
Got a disturbing notice from the Seventh Day Adventist YouTube channel in my YouTube home screen (even though no longer subscribed to their channel…..)
🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢
“ARE YOU CREATING A SAFE SPACE FOR YOUR CHURCH COMMUNITY?”
🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢
(So I clicked on it maybe they mean Covid stuff…they didn’t!)
Here’s excerpt of what they wrote:
{ …it is so important to have A SAFE SPACE for people of ALL BACKGROUNDS to learn about Jesus,
Church should be a place where they can SHARE and without fear of judgement AND BE ACCEPTED…}
Wow that’s incredibly disturbing…
Reading between the lines:
“A Safe space, All backgrounds, can share and be accepted”
With zero judgements?!?
None whatsoever,
Hindus, Buddhists, Satanists, Witches, Jesuits all invited and can share?
Really, doesn’t get any more inclusive than the word ALL,
Who’s preaching to who in that scenario?
So Lot should have invited the Sodomites in to hang out with The Angels who they wished to fornicate with,
Nehemiah wall of protection around Israel, Totally Gone in this scenario!
Child molestors could take the children’s classes,
Neo Nazis, KKK and similar can sit next to person’s of color and preach hate to them, no judgements
Catholic priests could come and preach from the Pulpit a message of eccunism under Rome, no retaliations if your including them, want them to feel safe right?
The question has to be asked how is Ted Wilson and Mark Finley totally fine with that message from Their platform…
but deeply troubled if you dare to question the government policies which aren’t even laws at all, but mere guidelines.
Have a rule that if something is unquestionable it’s probably highly wrong, I believe God even allows for Infinite questioning
“Come let us reason together…”
If something stands up to a barrage of questions it’s usually very very Good,
If you can’t question something at all it’s obviously very very bad .
Loren Smith says
YMJ, do you have a link you can share to the SDA YouTube post about safe places?
Rose says
Hi YesMsJane. “Safe space” is the term used to be inclusive of the lgbtqia (homosexuals of the various abominable behaviors). Do a search on this term…then ask yourself, what did Jesus do? Did he accept people AND their behavior or did he accept people while gently rebuking their sinful behavior? Do ask yourself what do they mean when they say That the ‘Church should be a place where they can SHARE and without fear of judgement AND BE ACCEPTED…}’. …hummm SHARE what?
YesMsJane says
The word share at least In this scenario probably means re-educate as in away from victory over sins via Christ and His Word.
Perhaps The Fox is in the Hen house or someone was told to be politically correct instead of Biblically sound, it does look like (so called) virtue signaling….
{They may regard virtue as better than vice;
but God being removed from His position of sovereignty, they place their dependence upon human power, which, without God, is worthless.
The unaided human will has no real power to resist and overcome evil.
The defenses of the soul are broken down.
Man has no barrier against sin.
When once the restraints of God’s Word and His Spirit are rejected,
we know not to what depths one may sink.
Those who continue to hold these spiritualistic theories will surely spoil their Christian experience, sever their connection with God, and lose eternal life.5Evangelism, 601, 602.
From Maranatha – Page 133}
Tom says
Msjane are you a sinner???? If you are then why are you allowed to be in church????. If we say that we have no sin then we make God a liar. Jesus said the well have no need for a physician the sick are those that need a physician. What’s very very sad is that Satan is controlling you and your claiming Christianity. Myself and you are the created not the creator it’s God’s job to judge and our job to obey. So stop judging others we are not the special chosen ones we are unfortunate doomed sinners. That need to be saved from our sins just as all of the people we are judging so please stop.
GEORGE CHAKHUTA says
Fact is most of our pastors are chained with money.Mark Finley is the pastor of which he directs GC president as an advisor.Since catholicism is dangerous,we need to be ware of the leaven of the pharisees which is hypocrites.My hope is built on CHRIST JESUS.No GC leader,union leader and division leader are my example.Iwill follow the LAMB where He goes not these leaders where they go and say.
Bobbie says
Amen
Tim says
I concur with Mark on this one, it is not our mission to be arguing vaccines or politics, these are not questions of faith or salvation. These arguments do not uplift Christ. Our mission is to share the gospel of Jesus and the 3 Angels messages, this is the message for our time. As we know there will come a time when we need to make a stand. These are but a distraction to our God given cause. Corruption is increasing in both sides of politics, either political persuasion is quite capable of forming an image to the beast and to be vaccinated or not should be a personal choice, what more is there to say. People are more interested in their own civil liberties than the life of another.
I appreciate articles with messages for our time, but I see little building the church up in discussions on this list but rather tearing it down. We should be praying for our church leadership.
I think we would do well to consider this quote,
“God permits men to be placed in positions of responsibility. When they err, He has power to correct or to remove them. We should be careful not to take into our hands the work of judging that belongs to God.” (HDL 24.2)
Titus 3:3-7 has really spoken to me, made me reflect on my sinful state and His love and mercy for each one of us.
Susan Field says
Thank you Tim. Politics must not muddy our message. Yet truth must be proclaimed.
It is a balance ONLY the Holy Spirit can achieve!
Kevin Straub says
They have made health issues a political issue and we have a health message that comes from God which is contrary to allopathic medicine. The pharmaceutical industry belongs to Satan and this is the entire basis of operation of the world’s health system and authority. We will continue to stand for God even though it has become politicized to do so. This is only “Part A”. “Part B” is coming, built upon the very same template and following this trajectory it will bring worship also into politics, a point that was made in this article with its reference to the coming mark of the beast, when the rhetorical question is asked of Elder Mark, “What about obeying papal mandates?” Exactly. This is a set-up. Leaders like Finley expect us to ignore the vaccine issue when it is the number one threat to humanity at this time? When the cover of this so-called “pandemic” is used to control people even in worship and witness, to counter the commands of God to assemble and to travel? When they may not even write or speak certain things? No, we will fight by pen and voice, and will fight to the death. Away with this nonsense of creating division in the church. It is not truth that divides. Truth has always been. Lies and deception are those things that divide, to be clear. Those that have the truth are standing on a rock, the Rock, and lies swarm about like stinging insects to make us fall off the high ground.
Delony says
Yes I really love the way that you are trying to wake them up to realities, but they are blinded by the glitter of the world. Chances are their consciences are asleep. However keep trying to wake them up and keep on praying for them also.
Angelita Guy says
” People are more interested in their own civil liberties than the life of another.” So I take it you are pro-vaccine? Because Mark Finley says the same thing. In fact, he said people were selfish who only thought about their own welfare and not the well being of their neighbor. He was insinuating those who don’t take the jab are selfish.
Most people who are pro-vaccine think we should follow government mandates and take the jab to protect everyone else. Well, I don’t believe in taking experimental drugs that haven’t been tested or proven, and are killing and injuring thousands. That isn’t political to me, it’s a moral issue.
Tallmark says
The jab contains aborted fetal tissue as well.
Sandy says
No it doesn’t.
YesMsJane says
Yeah it does they all contain “Hek293”
Look up the ingredient it’s made from aborted fetal cell lines.
Gardell says
It’s about the welfare of the people who take the vaccine my dear!
COERCION & CONSCIENCE SYMPOSIUM @ Berrien Springs SDA Village Church – August 20 & 21, 2021
Featured Speaker Dr. Peter McCullough Who brings the actual science regarding Covid & each individual vaccine. About time we really get the truth covered up by politics & the media. A must watch for this incredible presentation!
https://youtu.be/nQz-FnKZbig
Ron says
Tim, dude, how is it you don’t see that all this covid stuff is ALREADY politicized? Every single part of it. And since “covid” has been used as excuse to lock up churches and change the entire nature of worship for many around the world, how can you sit there with a straight face to tell us our mission is not to “argue about vaccines or politics”? We MUST deal with these issues, because they are affecting every single part of our lives. You don’t get to dictate to the rest of us what we should or should not be concerned about. And if you don’t think these issues are not tied to “questions of faith or salvation”, then, you have not been paying attention for the last year and a half. But hey, enjoy your ignorance.
Tim says
Adventist have taken the vaccine and died, Adventist have not taken the vaccine and died from covid, are we saying they are both unfaithful or lacked faith, I think not. It’s not a question of faith if you take the vaccine or not.
We should not be coercing people to take the vaccine or to not take the vaccine, we should not be belittling people because they have a different point of view. If there is a better way then offer it, provide the facts let people decide, free conscious choice. So what if we have to wear a mask for a few months big deal. Nurses have been doing this for many years.
To take the vaccine is not going to omit you from heaven, its not a point of salvation.
We should be giving people hope, yes the bible talks about pestilence these things have to happen but there is hope, you need not be afraid.
We have a message of hope to take to the world, this is where out energy should be spent.
The point on politics I would like to make is that we should not be coercing people to vote a particular way. To say if you vote democrat then your not a Christian, that’s coercion, that’s belittling that is false speak and simply not correct, its too broad a brush stoke to tar everyone that way.
As Adventist we shouldn’t be telling people how to vote.
We should not be causing division on these matters, however I do support the right to free choice on the covid vaccine, a bit of conundrum.
Think how much better it would be for Gods Kingdom if all this effort was put into saving the lost.
Fsrt says
Church members and leaders at times have become involved in politics with which they had no business being involved. But if our leadership doesn’t understand the idea that freedom of conscience has everything to do with the spiritual warfare we are involved in then they should no longer be our leadership.
Reducing certain issues to ” just politics” is exactly what the enemy desires so that once we realize its significance it will be too late. We can’t say that vaccination for example should be a personal choice when that choice is being taken away.
The issue isn’t civil liberties or politics, it is freedom of conscience. That which is quickly being eroded and setting the stage for persecution.
Bible history has taught us the impact that bad leadership has had on His people.
Yes, pray for our leaders, but also speak the truth. We can no longer remain neutral during a time of spiritual crisis. We are living in the end times and we can’t remain neutral especially while our leaders insist we seek peace and prosperity.
Beth Fowler says
It sounds as though you do not really want to follow what the Lord tells us in Ephesians nor what Mrs. White says in AA 68.2.
Both of which tells us to follow what civil government says to do, even if they are corrupted. As long as we don’t have a “thus sayeth the Lord”. He was saying this to the Jew and Gentiles.
We are blessed to have our current liberties in this country as many around the world do not. Civil liberties are not the same as religious at all.
While we can see things lining up for the close of time and the coming of the mark of the beast…we are commanded by Jesus, to follow government mandates, until they go against the spoken word.
This is Jesus’s example and what He did in a very corrupt government.
Wish this site would always preach the complete Bible and Mrs. White councel, instead of doing what you pick and chose for your own political agenda.
Patricia Cole says
Hello are you saying because vaccine has nothing to do with the Bible we must follow the government on taking this so-called vaccine this is not right we have a Health message and why should we put sickness into our bodies which can’t come out?
Shawn Moshos says
Your application of the scripture and SoP in this case is misapplied. We are specifically cimmanded by God to not use drugs for illness and disease. Sister White let us know that the Lord was bery clear about it in many instances of her writings.
RRAN says
Sister White did take vaccine against smallpox though…
LK & EK says
What we are dealing with today is not a “vaccine”. It is gene manipulation and experimental.
Sharyn says
There is no evidence she took it. All that is used as evidence is the memory of her secretary 15 years after her death, reported third hand and ending up in Selected Messages 2. There is strong evidence she most likely did not take it, and the memory Robinson had best fits her son and his staff; not Mrs White herself.
Alan says
I have never seen the proof of that. Have you ????
Great Kudu says
Amen.
This site is more political than 3 AMs minded. Cherry picking on truth and finding fault with brethren, even quoting them out of context.
Ron says
Stop bastardizing the Scriptures. Always gotta be a few in the crowd who would gut their own children if the government told them to, because, government!
Me says
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Paul Brock says
Dear Andy Roman, happy Sabbath! It is time to do an article on mRNA! Beth, above, said “we are commanded by Jesus, to follow government mandates, until they go against the spoken word.” THEY HAVE! If gov. goes to the next mandate it will be, “Line up against the wall!” LET ME EXPLAIN! Tim, who replied on 08’21’21 @ 2:48 am, Susan Field, who replied on 08’21’21 @7:18 am, and, of course, Beth Fowler’s response, 08’21’21 @ 9:36 am, know nothing about the mRNA Covid-19 “vaccine.” What does Scripture say, “MY PEOPLE are destroyed for lack of knowledge.” Well, Covid-19 “vaccine” is NOT a vaccine. It is gene therapy. It’s experimental!!! And Tim, Susan, and Beth, you are the guinea pigs!
Chief medical officer of Moderna, Tal Zaks, has confirmed that he “jab”… “CAN change your genetic code or DNA!” Zaks calls it “hacking the software of life.” Tim, Susan, and Beth, the mRNA “vaccine” is not political! IT’S SPIRITUAL! The Covid-19 gene therapy vaccine CAN de-face God’s genetic code of man. At cell level, the “spike protein” is deadly. For one thing, it is learned that it inhibits the immune system as much as 70%. A cold may be deadly! Tim, Susan, and Beth, why would you de-face the temple of God???
Former Pfizer VP, Dr. Michael Yeadon, said “Your government is lying to you in a way that could lead to your death.” “We made a big mistake. We didn’t realize it until now.” said Byram Bridle, a viral immunologist and associate professor at the University of Guelph, Ontario. “We thought the spike protein was a great target antigen, we never knew the spike protein itself was a toxin and was a pathogenic protein. So by vaccinating people we are inadvertently inoculating them with a toxin.” Statements like this are only the tip of the iceberg, but social media, big pharma, Hollywood, “drive-by-media,” Higher Education, and both political parties are covering it up.
Could Bill Gates (Vaccine Eugenicist) and Dr. Fauci (Bio-weapon Eugenicist) have created one of the ingredients to why Christ said, “Except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved”? Matthew 24:22. And in verse 37 it said, “As the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of Man be.” Annnnd! What were those days like? “And God saw…that every imagination of the thoughts of…man…heart was only EVIL CONTINUALLY.” Genesis 6:5. “All they that hate me love death.” Proverbs 8:36. The first commandment of the George Guidestones is to genocide 90% of the world’s population. How are the wicked going to do that?
WATCH! Tim, Susan, and Beth, translate the word “sorceries” in Rev. 18:23 into Greek. Use Strong’s Concordance: Greek entry “#5331: Pharmakeia…pharmacy; Greek entry #5332: Pharmakeus…spell-giving potion…pharmacist or poisoner.” Now finish out the conclusion of Rev. 18:23. “For by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.”
Tim, Susan, and Beth, stop drinking the Kool-Aid! Oh, by the way, in Rev. 13:11 who is it who “had two horns like a lamb” but “spake as a dragon”? The dragon is speaking!!! At the end of time, Ellen G. White said that the brightest of our leaders will leave the faith. Tim, Susan, and Beth, I can hear you say, “Certainly not Mark Finley!”
Bobbie says
You’re the second person I’ve heard recently quote that Ellen g white says some of our brightest lights will go out (leaders). Could you tell me where to find that information in her writings. I guess I struggle to find it hard to believe but I’m also shocked at the support for these vaccines by some pastors. The Bible says our bodies are God’s holy Temple and it also says not to put poisonous herbs in our bodies. That is why I refuse the vaccine.
LK & EK says
Bobbie , I placed that quote for you a few posts down.
LK & EK says
Thank you Paul Brock for this excellent rebuttal post and all your hard work and research that went into it.
YesMsJane says
Yes, deeply concerning that the GC doesn’t see all of this as a dress rehearsal for TMOTB,
That they are blind to the parallels of Daniel 1’s Health message of avoiding The Food from Babylon’s table, so as not to defile oneself,
Which lead directly into a salvational issue later on in Daniel 3 & 6
(only those who refused Babylonian food, later refused the image set up by the state-connected to a death decree)
6 weeks prior to this shamdemic, at Johns Hopkins university, pharmaceutical representatives stated their concern in a lack of sales on video…
They clearly stated in “Event201 part 4 communication”
“They would tapp into the religious leaders, to sway their congregations..”
For the most part the GC seems to be completely tapped into as they promised,
Remember when they had shares in Guns n Ammunitions?
The excuse used was a strong share portfolio, that was placed into only sure fire no loss stocks,
We can tell from the language used that 100% means they also have shares in these pharmaceuticals, which are now advertised everywhere we look,
Mark 8:36 KJV
“For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?’
It’s real shame the GC wasn’t warning people about a Global end time deception that involves pharmaceuticals, found in Revelation 18:23,
And is on the completely wrong side of the prophecy,
now people who lose loved ones to this message thinking Seventh Day Adventist know somethy about health may never trust us again because of their strong endorsements/directions.
Rob says
This same pastor above stated a few months back that not taking the vaccine is a selfish choice…a person that can keep there position at the GC lever for that long is either very good at playing both sides of the coin or a good follower of whoever gives order…not surprised
YesMsJane says
Finley and Francis both saying the same thing should be a Giant red flag or well a white n yellow flag….. 🇻🇦
Teresa Fulks says
Agreed
LK & EK says
The time is not far distant when the test will come to every soul. The observance of the false sabbath will be urged upon us. The contest will be between the commandments of God and the commandments of men. Those who have yielded step by step to worldly demands and conformed to worldly customs will then yield to the powers that be, rather than subject themselves to derision, insult, threatened imprisonment, and death. At that time the gold will be separated from the dross. True godliness will be clearly distinguished from the appearance and tinsel of it. Many a star that we have admired for its brilliance will then go out in darkness. Those who have assumed the ornaments of the sanctuary, but are not clothed with Christ’s righteousness, will then appear in the shame of their own nakedness. PK 188:1
Tim says
With reference to Rev 18:23
I think the interpretation of Sorcery to Pharmacy is misapplied to this verse. Its not Vaccinations that deceive the people its, necromancy, seductions of idolatry.
What does sorcery mean in the Bible?
1 : the use of power gained from the assistance or control of evil spirits especially for divining : necromancy. 2 : magic sense 2a.
Pharmakeia
Strong’s G5331 in the following manner:
I. the use or the administering of drugs
II. poisoning
III. sorcery, magical arts, often found in connection with idolatry and fostered by it
IV. metaph. the deceptions and seductions of idolatry
Thayer’s Greek Lexicon
STRONGS NT 5331:
c. sorcery, magical arts, often found in connection with idolatry and fostered by it: Galatians 5:20 (where see Lightfoot) (Wis. 12:4 Wis. 18:13; for כְּשָׁפִים, Isaiah 47:9; for לָטִים, Exodus 7:22; Exodus 8:18; for לְהָטִים, Exodus 7:11); tropically, of the deceptions and seductions of idolatry, Revelation 18:23.
Michel Yeadon
“Until 2011, Michael Yeadon worked as the vice president and chief scientist in a drug discovery research unit at Pfizer.
The division he headed focused on allergy and respiratory medical research — not vaccines or infectious disease.” Refer Snopes
Michael is not an expert on vaccines hence, this questions his credibility to comment on vaccines with authority.
Recommend reading of Sister Whites book Selected Messages Book 2
“Would I have sinned to give the boy quinine when I knew of no other way to check malaria and when the prospect was that he would die without it?’ In reply she said, ‘No, we are expected to do the best we can.”
Sister White supported blood transfusions, appears to have been vaccinated for smallpox, had X-ray treatment she was a head of her time.
What about organ transplants, chemotherapy or radiation therapy we put many harmful things into our bodies in the name of health.
If covid is a mutated virus created by man, then which is worse the virus or the vaccine??
Should we allow ourselves to be infected with a ‘man made’ virus?? and the detriment that it can bring.
Vaccines are not perfect they have their issues, they have already saved many more lives than what they have taken. There are many unknowns and hence why I support free choice.
Every loss of life is tragic, we should be doing what we can to limit the loss of life and to reduce the burden on those affected.

Where is discernment?
Dr Fauci owns patents for these shots covid 19, 20, 21, 22 etc
He paid for gain of function upscaling of Coronavirus, received a 100 million dollar grant from Gates foundation,
Created the problem, & is offering the supposed solutions
At this point I believe they could ask us for our big toes in the name of covid science and people would willingly just hand them over, whatever the so-called science says, because all scientist everywhere believe the same on all issues….

In accordance with Zechariah 6 God will cleanse His Church by cutting the grisled team out of the traces, freeing the bay to go forth. There is no doubt the visible church is a church of men, led and ruled by the grisled team. Just as He cleansed the Exodus Movement He will cleanse the Advent Movement. These movements are type and antitype. Heed the lessons taught in the scriptures preserved for the admonition of those upon whom the ends of the earth have come. Read and understand.

Mark Finley crossed his Peter Principle line a long time ago. Just another shill with too much cowardice to stand for truth, freedom, and true justice.
