My friend, in the Scriptures is revealed the will of God for man. If we study it as for hidden treasure, it will yield up the treasures of heaven. Yet so many today only have a superficial knowledge of the Scriptures. They only look on the surface and do not dig deep to know the will of God for their lives.
It is very sad that many in the church today rely upon the interpretations of pastors and elders rather than to study for themselves what the Word of God says. As such they are trusting their salvation into the hands of finite men who are prone to errors and misinterpretation. Satan has every sought to lead the minds of men to misinterpret the Scriptures that a false understanding leads them away from God. Thus he uses the leaders in the church to deceive the people.
This is the method he used with the early church that he led into apostasy and is the same method that he has used against the Seventh-day Adventist church today. The doctrine of the trinity is the foundational teaching of the Roman Catholic Church. From it is derived all of its doctrines, to include Sunday sacredness. The pioneers of the Seventh-day Adventist church saw the trinity for what it was; a false teaching of Rome. Though the leaders of the Seventh-day Adventist Church today deny that the trinity that the church believes in is the same as the Roman Catholic Church, at its core it is the same.
Fundamentally, the church believes in a triune god made up of three individual divine beings who are collectively and individually God. It teaches that the Father and the Son are both co-equal and co-eternal, and as such the Son of God is not truly a son but is only a metaphor or a title that one of the divine beings has assumed for the redemption of man. This denial of the literal sonship of the Son of God destroys the whole of the gospel and makes the Father out to be a liar for He testified of His Son saying "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." (Matthew 3:17).
This great deception that has come into the Seventh-day Adventist Church was foretold in the Scriptures saying "Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also." (1 John 2:22, 23).
This deception came in by agents of Satan who crept in into the church and has corrupted it from within. "Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ." (Jude 3, 4).
The trinity is a false representation of God and as such is a false god. The once pure church of Philadelphia has become the church of Laodicea, a church which has nothing good within it. Jesus says of this church "...and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:" (Revelation 3:17).
My friend, it is time for you to study the Word of God as you should. Set aside the opinions of men and "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." (2 Timothy 2:15).
God bless,
