It is dependent on each Seventh-Day Adventist believer to stand for truth though the heavens fall. We must be strong in Christ. We must refuse to go along with members who weekly refuse to be counted. We must turn completely from the world and its beliefs and turn wholly to our Savior.

James White wouldn’t be allowed to editor of the magazine he started.
All the early Adventist pioneers were against creeds. What happened? We have creeds and twist the Scriptures to say God doesn’t have a Son, just a metaphor. Christ says he will spew this Laodicea out and it doesn’t return to His mouth. Our foundation has been changed.

{When the church’s own flagship publication appears to celebrate figures whose theology helped contribute to the rise of serious theological error, it compromises and distorts the distinctiveness of the message God entrusted to this movement. It sends mixed messages to the world and misrepresents who we are.}

AMEN

There are Adventists today who are only Adventist in name the doctrines they picked up via their training in many cases has come directly from the Papacy,

So now they uplift popery, they will not give the Trumpet a certain sound, They have no interest in doing the commission of The 3 Angels Messages, they are fully compromised.

What about Augustine’s more fundamental errors that are now popular/widely accepted within Adventism since the early 1980’s? –

1) original sin as inherited guilt vs inherited weakness

2) God’s grace as irresistible and predestined for the elect vs God’s grace can be resisted and there is no special predestination

3) Christ had an unfallen nature vs Christ had fallen nature – “the seed of David”

Don’t these matter any more as long as you believe and keep the Sabbath? They certainly mattered to our pioneers.

Augustine is praised by his acolytes, who revere him as their spiritual “father” – those who praise him preach another gospel altogether.

St. Augustine of Hippo (AD.354-430)was one of early Roman Catholic church founders who helped to shape the doctrines of the church such as the '' immortality of the soul''he was also a philosopher and theologian at the same time. Augustine was from north africa (Annaba Algeria). His writings helped to shape the development of western philosophy and western christianity. During the council of Nicea in AD.325, he helped to shape the trinity doctrine, which is closely identified with him. He also helped to shape the doctrine of ''the origin of sin'' and many other doctrines. This is the man who helped to shape theological error which the Adventists are identifying with? It's also important worthy to note the during the upcoming papal visit in Africa by Pope Leo XIV, in the month of April, he plans to make an official visit in Algeria, the home country of Augustine of Hippo, he also expressed his interest by visiting the home country of one of the early church founders of the church.
