The traditions of men bring death.
Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition. For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death: But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free. And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother; Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye. (Mark 7)
Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. (Col. 2)
Indeed. But know that THIS, right there, right now, is the only true church - where two or more are gathered in his (not White's) name.
It's a shame. If we believers had half the moxie that SDA's have, we wouldn't be in this mess.
ROFL @SNAP! CRACKLE! POP!
...and that's a dead giveaway to the cultish nature of SDA. Every denomination flies its own "denominational distinctive" - their own freak flag - to draw in the unsuspecting. It's "Gee Whiz" theology, a trap for young players.
As with me, hopefully she has learned her lesson.
