Catholicism and Adventism

Did Catholics change the Bible?

Someone emailed me and wrote: "The Ten Commandments in Exodus 20 in the Torah match the Ten Commandments in the KJV and all the protestant bibles. That in itself is proof that the Catholic Church changed the Ten Commandments."

The Fall of Man, by Lucas Cranach the Elder, 1530 AD

While Catholics and Lutherans (and some other Protestants) have agreed that both sides mean the same thing when they use different words, there remains tension with some regarding salvation by faith alone vs salvation by grace alone. Our response to grace is sometimes mistakenly seen by Protestants as being our own works, and therefore of no value to God.

Adventists sometimes claim that Revelation shows sabbath keeping by Christians.

Adventists, and other anti-Catholics, claim that popes have taught that they are God. Anyone who knows anything about the Catholic Church knows that the pope doesn't consider himself to be God.

Adventists like to present a fake papal title as evidence that the papacy is linked to the number 666 found in Revelation 13:18.

Catholic Discussion of Seventh-day Adventism

It has been suggested to me over time that I write a book on Adventism. At last I've put together the more important posts from this blog into an ebook, which is free on this website and on Lulu, and minimally priced on Amazon.

The other side, those who are Hagar's children - Muslims and Adventists - are in bondage, following the covenant at Sinai. That's a huge revelation regarding Adventism. They lack, due to their allegiance, a full part in the New Covenant.

Matthew 5 says not one jot or tittle will pass from the law until all is fulfilled and until the heavens and earth pass away. Adventists claim, then, that the sabbath law is still in effect.

Adventists quote selectively to make it look like many Christians assembled on the sabbath, every sabbath. It's clear from the source documents that they fasted on the sabbath, in memory of Jesus being in the tomb - it wasn't a sabbath observance like the Jews and the Adventists have.

St Patrick is imagined to be a Sabbath keeper by many Adventists. The two writings we have of his, the Confession of St Patrick and his Letter to Coroticus, say nothing about the Sabbath.

The Synaxis of the holy and the most praiseworthy Twelve Apostles

The section Adventists quote is about the 10 commandments, and amongst the 10 commandments is the commandment about keeping the sabbath. The document is not instructing Christians to keep the sabbath. It's citing the 10 commandments. That's not honest quoting on the part of Adventists.

Jesus to the repentant thief on the cross: Luke 23:43 (KJV) – And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise. Every single time in the Bible that “Truly I say unto you” is used (or the equivalent in various translations), it takes the form of “Truly I say unto you, [statement being made]” Never is it “Truly I say unto you [time that the statement is being made], [statement being made]” Therefore, if we…

People sometimes complain that the Vatican is rich, and should sell all their stuff and donate the money to the poor. This article shows what drivel that idea is.

Jesus doesn't like lies being told about Christians.

Adventists in the Dominican Republic have made a graven image to teach people about the Bible.

In the Old Testament, the Ark of the Covenant contained the glory of God. In the New Testament, the Ark of the New Covenant contained God himself in the flesh. Important parallels regarding the content of the Ark: Manna – Eucharist (Jesus’ body and blood) Rod of Aaron – Rod of Jesse (Jesus) 10 Commandments – Gospel One of the most striking parallels in Scripture is 2 Samuel 6 and Luke 1, which have so many parallel phrases one has to be blind or stubborn…

The sending of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles

By various means, people have calculated that it was 50 days (inclusive) after Passover that the 10 Commandments were give by God to Moses.

Previously I was asked about my understanding of the end times and the correct interpretation of Revelation.

I was told that I was being unreasonable in not providing an alternative theory for Daniel's prophecies. If I wanted to refute Adventism's interpretation of Daniel, I needed to provide an alternative theory in addition to showing why Adventism was wrong.
