“As fundamental errors, we might class with this counterfeit sabbath other errors which Protestants have brought away from the Catholic church, such as sprinkling for baptism, the trinity, the consciousness of the dead and eternal life in misery. The mass who have held these fundamental errors, have doubtless done it ignorantly; but can it be supposed that the church of Christ will carry along with her these errors till the judgment scenes burst upon the world? We think not.” (James White, September 12, 1854, Review & Herald, Vol. 6, No. 5, page 36, par. 8)

This book is a compilation of quotes from Adventist Pioneers which reflect the unanimous position of the early Adventist Church. Many are unaware of the teachings of the Adventist pioneers. After reading this book, you will see for yourself what they believed. Has the Adventist Church, as a whole, shifted away from the truth revealed in the Scriptures, and taken up doctrines of the Catholics, which are held by all of her daughters, the apostate Protestant churches. May God help us to “earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. For there are certain men crept in unawares, … denying the only Lord God [the Father], and our Lord Jesus Christ.” (Jude 4, 5) “Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.” (1 John 2:22)

“Most of the founders of Seventh-day Adventism would not be able to join the church today if they had to subscribe to the denomination’s Fundamental Beliefs.

“More specifically, most would not be able to agree to belief number 2, which deals with the doctrine of the Trinity. …” (Famous author and Andrews University seminary professor, George Knight, Ministry Magazine, October, 1993, page 10)

This book is almost exclusively quotations, and therefore quotation marks are not used. My own writing stands out in a different type style. Here is an example!

Italicized, underlined, and bold text emphasis is supplied by the compiler except where [Emphasis in Original] is found.
