KALUUKALUU:
Lol, I see today that I've been freed from prison (ban). I wrote something and I was made to dissappear alongside with it.
Anyway, E.viana, my younger brother is a very devoted sda, we sometimes have this debates. And sometimes I will ask him, "Are you a Believer or are you sda"
I would ask you the same.
From the post which was unfortunately deleted, I'd talked of this senior Catholic personality that I've been acquainted to. Along the way she became a Sabbath-keeper. God has been revealing to her where there are problems in her denomination. She at times attempts to point this to her seniors but it does not end well. You can even be excommunicated.
And do you think that matters even for 1 bit?
What should matter is doing the will of the Father. And having your name Written in the Lambs Book of Life.
Nowadays I try very much to avoid arguments. The things I've said shall maybe make sense in the future.

And so.... "I hereby forgive anyone who has angered or provoked me or sinned against me, physically or financially or by failing to give me due respect, or in any matter relating to me, involuntarily or willingly, inadvertently or deliberately, whether in word or deed: let no one incur punishment because of me.... Shalom.

Doctrines are the seeds of disunity the devil sowed in the body of Christ. All denominations: Apostolic, RCCG, Winners, Baptist, Methodist, Anglican, Catholic, Jehovah Witnesses, 7th Day Adventist, etc have huge roots, stems, branches, leaves, and fruits of this well established disunity. If you really want to know God, be extra careful how you align yourself with these terrible seeds. What I am confident about is: There are no denominations and doctrines in the body of Christ. But the demons working on these things blind their victims and even empower them to use all their strength and might to push doctrines forward. If you want to find the loop holes in any denomination, just look at the so called beliefs. You will see them clearly. Hmmmm.... 28 indeed. Hmmmm.

May God help us at this end time. God bless you all. Amen!

Bejusttoall:

You have spoken well. No denomination in the body of Christ

Eviana:


.....

In response to your challenge, I will prayerfully--through God's Holy Spirit-- continue my beloved thread at the absolute right time....no doubt about it and that's a promise. You should at least know that about me....
Thanks for the offer though.

Eviana:


Sir,
I respect your stance and agreement with the fellow poster.
Thank you for your contribution to this thread.
Happy Sabbath.

PeaceJoyLove:


Just saw this. Did you modify this particular post? Ok. Never realised you wrote this. Ok. Take your time. Yes, you do not need to rush. Pray very well about it. Seriously, I want you to. And please, do not write what you previously believed is true, but what He shows you . Return to the books you use and research well. Cross reference with the word of God.

I just need you to be sincere. If you see that you are wrong, say it. You will gain my respect for life. And if you are right, say it and prove it. But I know that if you research it well and you pray for the Holy Spirit to lead you, .....you will definitely see light.

I will be back to remind you if you tarry too long

As for the offer. I'm ready. Do not be afraid. Just have a copy of what you want to post and if erased, do what I told you. I will assist you. I still assure you. I will get your voice out the exact way you want it out.

Eviana:


No, I did not modify that part.
It was exactly what I wrote on Friday.
See sir, in your voracious haste to attack, disparage and discredit me, you obviously failed to read that entire post.
I hope, in humility, you can learn from your mistake.
I have begun adding the words "MODIFIED" and specifying the part that has been added to any post I now create. However, there was no modification to the particular post I made the other day. It was all there at one time.

Oh, I am not afraid....very far from the that. Why should I be scared when I have Christ with me?

I have been accused of a whole lot (by you sir), but as I said before I will continue my thread at exactly the right time...
The table will be prepared for me....at the right time....in the right way and with the right motives by me....by God and Him alone. All of these unfortunate events happened (in the manner that they did) clearly for a reason.
Thank you sir.

PeaceJoyLove:


I have caught you in different lies, so I saying that was just being polite. And saying I attacked you is funny. I attack stup.id and terrible messages. That is what my focus is on. But when the other person attacks my person, it is normal to dish back exactly what was landed on me. Stop playing the victim's game. You have said it that you do not back down. And you boasted that I should know you. So, playing the victim's game is a strategy you always use. "E no go work". It won't work here cos I will not allow you digress. I will forever make you stay focused. You are known to be courageous. Therefore, be courageous and do the right thing. Do not chicken out.

Oh yeah, you want to gain voice with self pity to show all you are bullied, whereas you are the real bully.

I have told you....you are just finding an escape route. I am not interested in this your "yeye" rants.

This is what is happening. You have no answers yet to my questions because you just listen to and accept what your doctrine says. This is called brain washing. See, there is no escape route for you. The truth is always the truth. Can you see how readers are excited with the way I am handling you? Why? Cos it is the truth I am focused on. And they can see professionalism in my approach.

Instead of you trying to use tactics to escape, come on board on the side of the truth. I will allow you call me and you can ask as many questions as possible why there is no denomination so you can learn.

Do not be afraid to do this. See eh! You will have my respect and the respect of many. I will teach you again why I always know things. Oh! E no go choke you. I have told you. It is the Holy Spirit. One gift is discerning. You need it in order not to make mistakes.

In a sense, everyone who doesnt share your opinion is against you.....lol. But the reality is they are not attacking you. Your church is a minority because they teach false doctrines in this regard. Your church is far older than many churches, but cos they stand alone like the Jehovah Witness, your church has remained unpopular. Many churches are new but as soon as they align with the body of Christ, they are not left alone. It is all about the body of Christ.

When you are left alone, it is either you are hated for being right, or you are not right. In this case, we know your church is wrong. But no one has chased them away. Your church is welcome to christians gathering, but you choose to say you are holier than others. And you have been in this state for many years. You decide to be holier than everyone else, and you stay by yourselves. Lol. You made yourselves unpopular.

I know if I ask you more questions, you will start arguing along that line. But I waited for the direction of the Holy Spirit. He told me that He will give me the questions to ask. And boom, the questions came. He didn't tell me to ask about "secret rapture", He didnt lead me to ask you about the Sabbath day, and many other things your leaders have prepared answers to. Cos He knows you are always ready for those ones. But look at the wisdom of God. I can bet you that your elders have no answers. You have no answers too. And the God who wanted to open your eyes made you open this thread. No wonder you have refused to leave this forum. Hallelujah! Even when I encouraged you to leave if you cannot cope. Yeap, i have left many times too so far.

Listen to me, you may find your elders removing some of your doctrines soon to cover up their lies. Just be observant. The worst which can happen to you is being brainwashed again and you become a vessel for that transition. Lol.

It is a pity, members like you do not use your head to think. You have lost so many opportunities because of your usel.ess and blind faith or stand. We are here to help you. To remove that veil from your eyes.

If you have the Holy Spirit, you will have answers to my questions. So, prayerfully, go consult your elders so they can give you answers. But know this, one of the answers you will get is to avoid argument..lol. This is a signal that they have no answers. And they will brainwash you again we are attacking your person.

Wake up. There is a reason people with Holy Spirit do not go to your church. The church is far older than many others but has remained unpopular. This is why people say you are a cult or sect.

Think deeply about it. I have many questions even about the great controversy. But the most important ones I have asked you. And one of them is that: your church teaches women are not to pastor. But the person who founded your church is a female. And one of the 24 or 28 points which your doctrine was based was from her book the great controversy. Why would she found the church and ask you not to have a leadership position like pastoring? She founded a church...oh girl, she was not silent. Then, she used her book the great controversy to shape the church. Her prophesies are all over the church. It is like she was the one who shaped and controlled the church in her days. Yet, they teach you as a female to be silent. And you too in your wisdom has not questioned this. "You are smart ooooo"

Note: I have never said women should pastor or not pastor a church. It's irrelevant to me to argue this with anyone. What I know is this: if I feel the spirit of God while a female pastor preaches, then I know God approves it. The check is in me. No one can deceive me. I do not need anyone to tell me. So, your position or argument is irrelevant to me. But I am asking cos I found this strange in your church. Instead of you to ask for the check, you are busy defending what mere men told you. You are a powerless christian. Ask for the power of the Holy Spirit. No one can ever deceive you again. Why? He resides in you to guide, teach, direct, and empower you. But you are listening to mere men. Oh! I pity you.

Religion is a terrible thing. Mehn! God is not a denominational God. There is ONLY the body of Christ, and He is interested in this only. Imagine you said that if you didnt find your denomination in a city, you would search for your kind and start a group. Oh girl. I was just like.....what? Let me tell you the truth: You have been brainwashed. You better get out of that thing you call a church. It is not. You better find a living church and learn how to operate with the gifts and fruits of the Holy spirit. You better find a living church where you will be taught how to do it yourself and not rely on books a woman wrote many years ago. You have too much faith in your teachers. Oh! The videos of your teachers over the place. When you are asked questions, you dont have the right words but to refer to internet pages and videos.
Why? You dont have the right words to say. You post 2 hours teachings to answer simple questions. Why? You have no answers..

I know you cannot take up this challenge. I have challenged you in the past but you found escape routes. And everytime I bring it up, you always try to escape my questions. Instead of you to be sober and reflect on it why you couldn't give me answers, you still came here posting what you dont understand yourself.

Am I the only one who has told you to shut up? You just copy and paste from your numerous doctrines and novels. When you are asked questions you have no answers. And instead of you to admit you have no answers, you start shouting we are bullying you. The poster above had to politely ask you if questions will be permitted later. Lol. What a good reputation. You are well known to use different reasons to escape answering questions you do not have answers to. So, why force your SDA and great controversy on people when you cannot answer questions to our satisfaction?

We are Nigerians. We have brains. So, be ready to defend your faith.

Lastly, unlike you who never show remorse or say you are wrong, I admit when I am wrong . This is a quality I have and I am not ashamed of. Convince me and I will say you are right. And I will tell you that yeah...SDA is a living church. But so far, SDA is a a dead place with all I am seeing.

So, stop playing games. No one is attacking you. And do not digress. The speed at which you reply with irrelevant words is super high. But you have no answers to the questions I have asked you. I do not see you provide any answer because your church is wrong but just brainwashing many in this area.

I pray, Lord, show yourself to this lady. Let her see light. Jesus, open her eyes to your words. Dear Lord, set her free. She has a strong passion, and we thank you for sustaining her till this moment. But Lord, it is time for her to move forward. Baby food is for babies, it is time for her to grow in You. Jesus, son of the living God, reveal yourself to her. I have heard her testimony where she claimed you led her to SDA. Whether it is true, or someone else did it is OK because she didnt even go to open fraternities. We need you do this new miracle in her life. Jesus, I cannot command you how you will do it. I can only intercede and you act. Jesus, move into her life. Holy Spirit, move into her life. Find her. Locate her. Teach her. Direct her. Open her eye. And I pray, the veil in her eyes should be removed in the name of Jesus. The scales in her eyes should drop in the name of Jesus. Holy Spirit, move. In Jesus name I have prayed. Amen!

Lady, it is well.

Eviana:


I say this with the most sincere heart:
May God have mercy on your soul sir/madame.
"Father, please forgive this person for he/she knows NOT what he/she is doing.
Folks, this is not a joke....at least not on my end.
I am praying for you. I am 1000 percent convinced that you are not understanding what you are writing.
You cannot be....there's no way.
Surrender to Jesus Christ before your time ends.....experience real and sincere peace.
Harden not your heart. It has been hardened for too long.
You're obsessed with my church--knowing absolutely nothing about it other than the day we worship.....which happens to also be a day a number of Nigerians also worship on...who are not Adventists.
Something so false and demonic as you claim Adventists are...should not incite this much attention at all. You have gone above and beyond to try and destroy something you know nothing about...so you claim. That is how I KNOW that I am wrestling against supernatural forces here.

By the way, the church has NEVER taught a "secret rapture"...Ellen White was not a pastor....she was a prophetess which is a spiritual gifting listed in the scriptures (and which many women possess)...and she was one of (3) co-founders--not the founder. Let me say this and nothing else on it. The SCRIPTURES (not ELLEN G. White) teach that a MAN/MALE/"Y" CHROMOSONED HUMAN is to be in the position of pastoral/ elder authority in a church setting.....
The Bible has always and will always come first in my church's teachings.
The God-inspired books that I presented here, "The Great Contoversy" and "The Desire og Ages", (2) of over 40 books and 5,000 periodicals written by the prophetess were introduced on my threads for the fact that they are and were scripturally inspired. God spoke through this woman....and I personally believe that by faith. Her works were never to take the place OF the BIBLE...nor did she ever teach that.

When I say that you are highly possessed, I mean it. Those spirits are using you mightily and your only way out is through Jesus Christ. I am not playing around with you either. Something is seriously wrong and only the person of Jesus can heal you completely.There's a way to converse intelligently with someone whom you disagree with. You have never accomplished that feat and I highly doubt that it will in the future.

So, I will NOT engage in anymore debate with you on this church.
I started this thread and was interrupted by YOU sir/madame. You have a mission and agenda and do not think for a minute that I don't understand what it is.
Whatever you believe I am or am not....whatever you believe is my denomination or not is up to you. I will not defend, debunk or engage your "beliefs" any further. Bring a million fake monikers to defend you. Build up a defense...allies..."friends"..."brothers"
"sisters"....whomever. Yes...that is Nigeria...not all. There is a remnant of Godly folks left.
I stand with God and Him alone.
The truth has always and will always STAND no matter what.

REMEMBER YOUR WORDS BELOW...FOREVER RECORDED
I am a demon, false, lying, snake, nasty, manipulative, jezebelic, false Christian woman.
My church is false because it doesn't preach a popular message and has less members (18-21 million worldwide) which is less than some other denominations in the world.
People hate my church and stay away from it cause we are not of God.


I leave you, as always, with these words: Jesus is pleading with you sir/madam to surrender to Him first....it is about Him.
Mercy....Lord have mercy on this person from the depths of my heart.
I hope you, PeaceJoyLove, choose Him.

There are times when an answer to a prayer takes time. There are other times when God has answered but we fail to accept it. This morning confirmed something for me.
I had good intentions when I originally started this thread. It was in response to a person throwing out false accusations, threatening to "expose" my denomination and other things.
I have never been afraid to speak about Jesus....either publicly, privately or online.
The overwhelmingly majority of my combine thousands of comments over a 4 and 1/2 year stay on this site under my several monikers, has been IN the religion section....to 99 percent Christians not of my denomination.

I have written more scripture quotes than "book" references and while I have publicly stood alone this entire time, those who have interacted with me know that to be the truth. My church was practically never mentioned.
I want to say so much more, however
BUT FOR THE GRACE OF GOD....
BUT FOR THE GRACE OF GOD....

The only thing that I will say is if you are searching for truth....sincerely and with right motives....pray, pray and more pray for the Holy Spirit to lead you into all truth and wisdom.
Let not any distraction that occurred here affect whatever God may be trying to tell you.
I want to apologize to ALL persons that I may have offended, discouraged, frightened, or confused during this debacle. I am still not perfect in Christ..never implied or said I was.
There is a standard the Lord requires of His children and I must use Him as my measuring stick.

Always keep your eyes on Jesus and let not a faulty messenger deter you from His holy and pure message.

......

I will state exactly my concerns with your church.
1. Ellen White was a founding member of SDA
2. A founding member has a higher admistrative rank than a pastor.
3. Her books are the doctrine of the church.
4. Yet, you always say women should not pastor churches.
This is where I am confused. I am debating if it is ok for women to be a pastor or not. The confusion is that how can a woman who founded a church ask other females to be silent in the church when she herself is loud all over the church with her books, her doctrines and her teachings? I do not get it. Her influence is still there even many years after her death. Yet, the same church she founded women are told to shut up. It doesnt add up. Or am I not making sense? Yet you ranted here and there. Must I attend your church? Must I take your church as the holiest church?

Matthew 5: 2, 8-16 (KJV)

2 And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying

8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.


11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

13 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.

14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.

16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven

Part 7

A brief summary of the church's history and "founders" revolves around William Miller,  (a former Baptist minister) to whom the "Millerite" movement was named after.
Miller is best known for his belief that Christ' imminent return would be in 1844....(later termed the "Great Disappointment).
While Miller had the date right, he had the event wrong. Something did occur in 1844 concerning Christ, but it was not His second coming.
Some followers left the faith and the remaining studied what happened in 1844...and where they went wrong in their belief....hence the birth of Seventh-day Adventists.

The three prominent figures (or founders) to emerge during that time were also members of other denominations---before formally becoming "adventists".
They were James & Ellen G. White (husband/wife) and Joseph Bates.

Eviana:
WHO IS ELLEN G. WHITE AND WHAT WAS HER ROLE TOWARDS THE CHURCH?



In the church's beliefs are "Spiritual Gifts/Ministry" & "The Gift of Prophecy", (both scripturally based).
Ellen G. White is the messenger of God that Seventh-day Adventists believe God chose to reveal important messages regarding prophecy & Christian living. She was one of the founding members, including her husband James White & Joseph Bates. They formed after William Miller, the originator of the Millerite movement, misinterpreted the prophetic date of 1844---thinking that would be the time of Jesus' return to earth. It was not. Something significant happened, but it was not Jesus' return. Seventh-day Adventists formed after studying the scriptures to find out where the Millerites had originally misinterpreted the prophecy.

What many people do not know is that Mrs. White was not the original person chosen to do this important, sobering work of having the gift of prophecy. There were (2) men before her who refused the call of God and who later admitted it. (Would have to read through more work to know that). So God called her and although reluctant at first, she accepted.

Mrs. White (who had a third/fourth grade education) had written over 5000 periodicals and 40 books during her lifetime. She is one of the most widely translated authors in history and covers a very wide range of subjects including prophetic events/prophecy, councils on
health/diet, dress reform, Christian living/ relationships etc.

One statement that was made by someone was that Mrs. White's books are revered more (by me) than the bible. However, his statement is false. Seventh-day Adventists get accused frequently of idolizing Mrs. White more than the bible.
While there may be some in the faith who tend to venture towards fanaticism....the official statement of the church is to hold the bible as the ultimate authority. That is what I do....the bible first. The majority of my posts and interactions have revolved around the bible.

I have also repeatedly used Isaiah 8:20 (KJV) as my reference for anyone who claims or claimed to be a "prophet/prophetess"/messenger of God...including Ellen G. White and I, personally, am convinced that she indeed was.

Out of her 40 books written, I chose to highlight (2) of her books here on N.L.
I posted (3) chapters from one of the most important books that I have ever read, "The Great Controversy"--an historical, present and future book of prophecy for the world-- and (2) chapters from another of the most important books I have ever read, "The Desire of Ages" --an account of the life & Ministry of Jesus Christ--.
Another very beautifully written book and small book is entitled, "Steps To Christ".

What I found interesting, though, is that a rather popular Nairaland member in one of the most popular sections of this site --the Romance section-(of whom I never conversed with nor do I know of his religious affiliation or his views on religion in general) even referenced one of her writings in support of a thread he created regarding relationships! How I even found that thread had to only have been through the Holy Spirit. So even the non-religious (if he is) see the God-given wisdom in her writings.

Mrs. White's books were never to take the position of being greater than the greatest book on earth--the bible. She even stated that numerous times. The messages and prophecy were to always line up with scripture....

An accusation was hurled regarding my personal stance on women NOT being called to "pastoral ministry" and yet Ellen White (a member of the SDA church) being a messenger of God.
She was a prophetess....not a pastor or elder.
As I have stated numerous times on Nairaland via multiple threads, women have been called to ministry. Women are very special in God's eyes and oftentimes are the backbone of the church.

Examples: Deborah, Esther, Miriam, and many more etc.,

Women fulfill countless roles within the church (including prophesying), however, "pastoring" is not one of them.
God has equipped and called men to head the church (pastoring) in that capacity. That has always been my conviction since giving my life to Christ.
I know that many will disagree with me and that's ok.
