The White Lies of Adventism: Response to Dr. Merlin Burt of The Ellen White Estate | Part 1

What is the Spirit of Prophecy? What is the testimony of Jesus? Was Ellen G. White a true prophet? What do Adventist's really believe about the gift of prophecy?

In a recent video posted by Mark Finley's, HopeLives365 (@HL365), Dr. Merlin Burt from the Ellen White Estate gave a presentation entitled "Ellen G. White and True Adventist Theology". In this presentation Dr. Burt states many of the common claims the SDA Church has been making for decades regarding Adventist history, theology and Mrs. White. The question is...are they true? We will answer a number of these to help Christian's be able to spot the subtle twisting and slipperiness that often takes place in Adventist theology and retelling of history.

The Gospel of Jesus Christ:
Man has broken God’s Law (Romans 3:23; 1 John 1:8) and our sin has separated us from our Maker (Isaiah 59:2). In His grace, God entered into His own creation in the person of Jesus Christ (John 1:1-14; Col. 1:19), born of a virgin (Matt. 1:23), and lived a perfect and sinless life, fulfilling all the Law’s demands (2 Cor. 5:21; Matt. 5:17), on a mission by God the Father to save sinners from condemnation (John 3:16-18, 6:37-40). He paid the penalty for sin which is death (Romans 6:23) and bore the sins of His people in His body on a cross (1 Peter 2:24), making propitiation by His blood (Romans 3:25). He died, was buried, and resurrected in the same body He died in on the third day for our justification (1 Cor. 15, Romans 4:25; Luke 24:39). By a living faith (James 2:18) in the Person and Work of Jesus (Romans 10:9-10), God graciously declares a person righteous (Romans 4:5), they are reconciled to their Creator (Romans 5:10-11), sealed with the Holy Spirit (Eph. 1:13), and have peace with God (Romans 5:1). They are born again of the Spirit (1 John 5:1, Titus 3:5), adopted into His family (Eph. 4:5–7), and are granted eternal resurrection life in Jesus Christ (1 John 5:11), set free to do good works that please Him (Eph. 2:10; 1 John 2:3-4). Jesus will physically return one day to judge the living and the dead (1 Peter 4:5; Acts 24:15; John 5:24-5) but His people will be spared from the wrath to come (1 Thess. 1:10) to dwell in union with God forever (Rev. 21:3).
