William Miller was not wrong once, but three times. He made three, yes, THREE, false predictions about the Second Coming. Why do we dwell on the third one? Because he tripled down on this on. He was deceived and deceived many. Thousands of people were hurt.
Miller was warned. Many times. Other Christian leaders around the world called him on this. He would not listen.
William Miller claimed he heard the voice of God, and it gave him this false prophecy.
He led people down the garden path, not to some great spiritual awakening.
We even go so far as to praise and complement the people that followed followed this false preaching, as if doing so was a sign of being a great Christian.
How silly.
Adventists need to distance themselves from such nonsense. And cal it what it was:
A Great Deception.
Sure, something good came out of it. The Seventh Day Adventist Church. But that does not in any way, shape, or form, make The Great Deception anything else.
Since we have embraced this "Great Disappointment," we live in a glass house of false prophecies. We had better not throw too many stones. After all, we embrace one of the biggest false prophecies in history of Christiandom.
Will you fall victim to another prophecy scam?
Is the SDA church a good thing? It has a false prophet and unbiblical beliefs and doctrines. Untold thousands have left the SDA church since the 80's. So many of those have spoken of a total lack of assurance of salvation, having a rather superior view of themselves and their church, seeing other Christians as deceived, or not following God's word.
ReplyDeleteThe SDA organization is very dishonest regarding EGW, it's history, and presents itself to the masses as just another denomination that worships on Sabbath. We know that isn't true.
Anyway, there are nice people in the SDA church, I was one of those (a convert at age 24 and was there for 25 years), but the
organization and their beliefs aren't that nice.
