For Adventist readers
Answering Modern Adventism
Articles addressing the points where the modern corporate Seventh-day Adventist church has departed from the foundations laid by the pioneers. Each piece is composed from primary sources only — the King James Bible, the writings of Ellen G. White, and the pioneer documents — and is written for the reader who already knows the Adventist message and wants the receipts.
Christ the only begotten Son
Answering modern Adventism on the divinity of Christ — a Bible-based and pioneer-Adventist comparison.
Modern Adventism affirms Christ’s deity but redefines His Sonship as metaphor or office. The pioneers held them inseparable — Christ is divine because He is truly the only begotten Son of the Father. This study sets both positions side-by-side and weighs them against Scripture.
Who is the Holy Spirit, according to Ellen White?
Her published statements, gathered and weighed against the modern trinitarian claim.
The modern denomination teaches a third coequal divine Person. Across her own writings, Ellen White describes the Spirit as the personal presence of Christ Himself — the Comforter, the Spirit of Christ, the divine influence by which the Father and the Son indwell their people.
Does the Trinity show up in the New Testament?
An audit of the apostolic greetings — twenty-seven books, one consistent salutation.
The modern denomination teaches a triune God. Every letter in the New Testament begins or closes with a greeting that names the source of grace and peace, and across all twenty-seven books that source is, without exception, the Father and the Son. This study runs the audit book by book — including the verses most often cited as Trinitarian — and weighs what the apostolic salutation actually proves.
The forgotten first commandment
Christ named the first commandment of all — and what it requires us to remember about who God is.
A scribe came to Jesus with the deepest test a teacher of the law could administer — which is the first commandment of all? Christ answered with the Shema: Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord. Out of every text in Moses and the prophets, He chose the verse that names the identity of God, and He named the Father as the one God of Israel. This study traces what Christ Himself said about the only true God, the Son who proceeded from Him, and the Spirit by which the two indwell their people — and what is at stake when the foundation is forgotten.
The triad before the trinity
A historical audit of the three-in-one in Babylon, Egypt, Rome, and India — and how the same architecture entered the church under biblical names.
Rome names the trinity as the central mystery of the Christian faith. Where did the architecture come from? This study traces the three-in-one through the pre-Christian record: the Egyptian, Hindu, Roman, and Babylonian triads that predate Nicaea by two millennia; the Greek philosophical vocabulary of one substance and three persons that the apostles never used; the imperial city in which the great councils were held, under emperors who simultaneously presided over the old triadic state cult; the gematric and geometric signatures by which Revelation marks the system; and the path by which the same architecture entered the church under biblical names. The question is not whether God is one. It is what the church inherited when it adopted a doctrine the Hebrew Scriptures do not teach.
