sda church puts people in jail

Last month the SDA General Conference finally succeeded in imprisoning Pastor McGill. Now associate pastor Lucan Chartier has also been arrested.

Here are the news stories:

For those who don’t know what’s going on, the Seventh-day Adventist General Conference incorporated, and trademarked it’s name, in 1981, and has now been suing those who use the name “Seventh-day Adventist” (or even the word “Adventist”) without the approval of the General Conference. They claim they are suing people in order to protect the “good name” of the church.

The General Conference is using the civil government to accomplish it’s ends. This has led to persecution, confiscation of property, fines, and imprisonment, for those who felt they could not conscientiously give up the name “Seventh-day Adventist” because they believe from the Spirit of Prophecy it was a divinely ordained name (see 1T, 223).

The SDA church that claims to be fighting for freedom of religion is now using the power of the State to persecute those who desire to worship God according to their religious convictions.

The General Conference is doing the very thing that the Bible and Spirit of Prophecy told them not to do.

Bible:
Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints? (1Cor 6:1)

But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers. (1Cor 6:6)
Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded? (1Cor 6:7)

Spirit of Prophecy:

This action, of appealing to human courts, never before entered into by Seventh-day Adventists, has now been done. God has permitted this that you who have been deceived may understand what power is controlling those who have had entrusted to them great responsibilities. Where are God’s sentinels? Where are the men who will stand shoulder to shoulder, heart to heart, with the truth, present truth for this time, in possession of the heart?–Manuscript 64, 1898. (“The Danger of Rejecting Light,” May 19, 1898.)

I have written largely in regard to Christians who believe the truth placing their cases in courts of law to obtain redress. In doing this, they are biting and devouring one another in every sense of the word “to consume one another.” They cast aside the inspired counsel of God and in the face of the message He gives they do the very thing He has told them not to do. Such men may as well stop praying to God, for He will not hear their prayers. They insult Jehovah, and He will leave them to become the subjects of Satan until they shall see their folly and seek the Lord by confession of their sins. . . . {5MR 414.3}

The General Conference has dared to do what the Bible and Spirit of Prophecy forbade. Ellen White said they insult Jehovah, and He will leave them to become the subjects of Satan until they shall see their folly and seek the Lord by confession of their sins.

  1. Hello Daniel,

    Thank you for signing the Liberty Petition.

    I am commissioned by God to walk across America next year (2014). The details are being updated at http://walkthewalknow.com/ as they develop. I hope some who live near the walking route will join me in promoting Christian family values by walking some part of the way.

  2. Hello Friends,

    New developments in the SDA Trademark Lawsuit against Creation 7th Day Adventists. This time they are going for the throat — asking the Court to restrict freedom of speech and extend USA court jurisdiction into the international realm. Read the document.
