A fromer friend of mine, who I knew for many years, tried to prove Adventism so he could justify the "Mark of the Beast" doctrine. He talked to the top Authorities--as I have also studied from them--and they told him what they truly are. In his quest to prove that the doctrines of Adventism are 100% Biblical he--well, he eventually became a spiritual Atheist (a NEW AGER). He had to deny all scripture to maintain his hatred towards Sunday, which the SDA church always taught us..though now tries to deny it.
I also noticed that all the SDA's churches in my region never convert non-believers. Why is this?
Don't get me wrong. I know that many church going SDA's are true believers in Christ. But those at the top or even the pastors of some of those churches, are the ones teaches against Christianity by teaching that Sunday keeping Christians are worshiping the sun-god of Babylon--when indeed they know nothing about what the Babylonians believed. The sun-god of the ancient world as not affected Christianity. It has, however, been the framework for evolution theory.
