 INTRODUCTION
Most likely the dissident SDA anti-Trinitarians either within the SDA organization or ‘on the
fringes’ of the SDA Church, especially the vociferous ones who are daily attacking the SDA
Church over its teaching about the Trinity of the Godhead, they will probably take one look at
the cover of this booklet and say: “nothing in our theology resembles the images seen
depicted”! But is that really so? Let’s debunk that mistaken idea from the very outset.

I find it amusing that they themselves try to teach that either Jesus is being “two persons” at
once, or that there are two "persons" in his one being, or two "individualities" in his one person
(i.e. the "persons" of the Son and the Holy Spirit comprising the one being called Jesus), yet
hypocritically they seek to decry and denounce the Roman Catholics and modalists or sabellians
(or the "oneness" Apostolics) who teach three persons/manifestations in one being!! And they
do this thinking that since Jesus has two “individual” (or separate) natures (divine and human)
in his person this means he has ‘two persons’ in his being (obviously confusing the word
“natures” with “persons”). What an irony!!! The more the anti-Trinitarian dissidents in the SDA
Church try to "kick against the pricks" while attacking the SDA Church's teachings about the
Godhead Trinity, it’s the more it gets them into deeper waters and into more trouble
polemically and doctrinally. To see why their ongoing and persistent attack and “protest”
against their own Church’s “Trinity” teaching is largely unnecessary, and is ultimately misguided
in many respects, click the link above to see why they are “kicking against the pricks”, and see
the four links below revealing eye-opening details totally debunking them from both the
historical and biblical standpoint:

In addition, the dissidents have not only denied aspects of their own SDA pioneering heritage as
it concerns the Godhead, but they have accepted part of the Roman Catholic and modalist
(sabellian) dogma which seeks to literally make one personal being or one divine person (i.e.
Jesus) a combination of more than one "person" or divine "manifestation" welded into one
being!! How ironic!!
The time has come to not only expose, but to frankly assess and totally debunk that falsehood,
along with its accompanying "bi-theistic" (or two equal and worship-worthy Godhead beings)
theology, and I will now do so in this FREE booklet which is in your hands, dear reader. Just
read on, and feel free to check up on me in terms of all the quotes and references I will cite in
this publication. In fact I encourage you to check up on me, since we are commanded by the
bible to “prove all things”. Do not put down or put away this booklet until you have exposed
yourself to all its eye-opening findings. God bless you as you read.
 Section A:
SDA ANTI-TRINITARIANS DO TEACH THAT JESUS IS
“TWO PERSONS” IN ONE PERSON OR ONE BEING!!!
If one takes a careful look at the anti-Trinitarian teachings promoted online, as coming from
popular teachers and preachers like Daniel Mesa, Nader Mansour, Dr. Allen Davis, Lynnford
Beachy, Jason Smith, Matt Dooley, Paul Williams, Terry Hill, David Clayton, among others,
one discovers that they all have a couple of things in common:

1. They teach that there are only two exalt-worthy or worship-worthy beings or two living
(real) and separate (or distinct) persons of the Godhead, and

2. They teach that Jesus is actually both the “persons” of the Son and the Holy Spirit, or he’s
two “persons” in one among the “three living persons” of the “heavenly trio”, since “the third
person of the Godhead” or the Holy Spirit is literally Jesus himself.

Later in this presentation I will reveal how their belief in two worship-worthy Godhead beings
unwittingly turns out to be rank polytheism (a belief in and worship of two gods, despite they
are daily seen/heard claiming to believe in just one person, the Father of Jesus, being
ultimately God). But let me first address the second issue listed above. No matter the various
ways the dissidents try to explain it, this is the final outcome of their theology ----Jesus to them
is actually both the “persons” of the Son and the Holy Spirit, or two-persons-in-one among the
“three living persons” of the “heavenly trio”, since “the third person of the Godhead” or the
Holy Spirit is literally Jesus himself, they argue. Now while the above is seen in their common
teachings, yet interestingly, as dissident anti-Trinitarians, they are indeed quite confused
among themselves about how to really see “the third person of the Godhead” which their
own prophetess (Mrs. E.G. White) made NUMERIC reference to among “three living persons”
of divinity (with many are misled to think it’s just a linguistic mode/figure of speech and is not
a numeric reality).

One segment of the dissident SDA anti-Trinitarian or the so-called “One True God”
Movement” says "the third person of the Godhead" is SATAN (!!!), while another group in
that same Movement say "the third person of the Godhead" is Jesus (!!!), while yet another
group among them say there is no "third person". One group admit there are "three
persons" who are really two, while another set says there are no "three persons", and
another set amazingly admit that there are "three holiest beings" of the Godhead, but that
they are not really three literal personal beings, since the "third holy being" is not a "being"
like the other two!! And yet it’s the same Movement of dissidents which seeks to chastise
others (Trinitarians) about "confusion" in their midst????? What a laugh!! "He who lives in a
glass house should not throw stones", someone wise once said!

I have spent several years (since 1998) closely looking at how they try to explain away their
own SDA pioneers eventually accepting “three living persons” of the Godhead (“persons”
whom the pioneers eventually accepted as “three beings”); doing all it takes to make the
pioneering utterances fit their ‘two beings of the Godhead’ theology. What results is that
Jesus ends up in their convoluted theology as being a single person or being with two
“personalities”, or is manifested as two personas, or is operating in two roles, or appearing in
two modes (as it were), as the following imagery will depict. As the images below depict, the
Holy Spirit, which the dissidents are forced to admit “is a person as God is a person” (because
of Mrs. White’s own 1899 statements), they argue that he (or “it”) is nothing more than the
mind and power of Jesus (and God the Father) moving out from and away from his (their)
literal bodily presence enthroned in heaven, and is manifested as another “person”, or its
Jesus (and God the Father himself) in the so-called “third person” style of language!

Thus, to their way of thinking, the Holy Spirit is not numerically “THE third person” of divinity
or of “three living persons” (since a normal living person is real, is separate from others and
has his own self), but he or “it” [ see more on the “it” expression ] is the second face, second
persona, second personality or is another manifested mode of Jesus and his Father, as the
following illustrations would depict. Ultimately to them the Father and the Holy Spirit
combined is literally one indivisible personal being, and the Son and the Holy Spirit combined
is literally another indivisible personal being, but just manifested differently as two “persons”.

The above is precisely the same explanation the Roman Catholics use when explaining the
unity of all three “persons” of the one Being of God or of the Trinity (i.e. “the Trinity” as the
Catholics see it); an explanation the vociferous dissidents protest against and denounce, yet
unwittingly they themselves are teaching the very same thing about divinity or a divine being,
but simply in the form of “two-persons-in-one-being”. It is simply the case of the kettle calling
the kettle black, and its either outright blindness or hypocrisy. Keep in mind that the most
common visual illustration of the Roman Catholic Trinity is seen in the following; visuals which
capture the Roman Catholic thought that the “persons” of divinity are not separate beings, but
rather they form one tri-personal being or one undivided substance or divine organism.

Now if one simply describes a certain divine being (whether Jesus the Son, or his Father) as
having two personalities, then the obvious result is seen in the following illustrations---two
persons in one being!
Now, what I found fascinating is that just as the pagans have among their false gods three-
headed beings resembling the Catholic Trinity, the pagans also have two-headed gods which
resemble the misguided theology of the dissident anti-Trinitarians regarding Jesus, and I could
give a list of such pagan gods. However, I was more intrigued by a two-headed deity of the
Hindus called “Agni”; a divine being which was deemed to be the mouthpiece or messenger of
the supreme god of all (i.e. Brahma). This god had two personalities or is two persons in one
being, and as the “god of fire” he/it was depicted with two heads on one neck, as seen in the
following pictures.
Depictions of “Agni” the two-personality god or the two-headed deity
Now, in reality (or real life), in order for any person to be deemed “living” or “a person” among
a group of “three living persons” that person MUST be a “distinct personality” or a separate
person in and of himself, in order to be enumerated as the “third” among “three”, and that is
precisely how Mrs. White, and how the other SDA pioneers in Adventism eventually came to
accept all “three persons” of the Godhead (as the quotes seen below aptly demonstrate). In
addition, in reality (or real life), as the 1828 Noah Webster’s Dictionary of American English (of
Mrs. White’s time) does show (and just as the dictionaries of today show), a personality is a
person with individuality, and the synonym for a real person is an individual being. But in order
to teach their ‘two-persons-in-one-being’ theology, the dissidents have denied reality, denied
dictionary definitions, and denied the following quotes from their own pioneers as well.

THE SDA PIONEERS HONESTLY AND REPEATEDLY TELL IT LIKE IT IS. THEY EVENTUALLY
ACCEPTED THAT THERE IS A TRINITY OF SEPRATE BEINGS (CONFIRMING THE BIBLE'S
TEACHING):

"...we [SDA pioneers] want the truth because it is truth, and we reject error because it is
error, regardless of any views we [SDA pioneers] may formerly have held, or any difficulty we
may have had, or may now have, when we view the Holy Spirit as a person.
Light is sown for the righteous. Satan's scheme is to destroy all faith in the personality of the
Godhead, — the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,—also in his own personality...Let us beware lest
Satan shall lead us to take the first step in destroying our faith in the personality of this
person of the Godhead,—the Holy Ghost."

May 17, *1898, pg. 310.

"Paganism, popery [the Papacy], and infidelity fail entirely to either rightly know or truly
represent the ever-living God. It is left for pure Protestantism to proclaim to the world the
true God consisting of *THREE PERSONS but of one spirit and aim"

---The Signs of the Times , Vol. 26, No. 24, June 12, 1911; p. 371.372

“There are THREE *BEINGS in the Godhead: God, the Father; Jesus Christ, the Word; and the
Holy Spirit. "These three are one...."Canst thou by searching find out God?" Job 11: 7."

---- Review and Herald, Vol. 8, No. 50, December 15, 1910; p. 8
“The language of Jesus, "If I depart, I will send him [the Holy Spirit] unto you," plainly shows the
Holy Ghost to be possessed of a divine personality. The same argument applied to the
language, " Whom the Father will send in " my name," indicates the same truth, and thus
establishes the conclusion that the Godhead is composed of THREE PERSONAL *BEINGS, and
that these three are one. The oneness of the Godhead must, then, consist not in personality,
but in some other kind of oneness. Let us apply the Bible idea of oneness of *INDIVIDUALS to
the Godhead, and see if it will contradict the possibility of three or more individuals being
called one. We have two visible institutions in this world that are Bible illustrations of God's
idea of oneness, marriage and the church [both which consist of *separate persons or beings
united].”

---The Advent Review and Sabbath Herald, Vol. 89; Dec. 19, 1912; No. 51, pg. 5

"It is evident that the Holy Spirit is one of the Trinity, and fully represent God [the Father] and
Christ, and the Trinity [i.e. the threefold Godhead group]; and appears in any form or shape, or
without form or shape, as best answers the purpose of God" [This means he also comes on
behalf of himself as well; not just on behalf of the Father and the Son]

"There are THREE LIVING PERSONS [or real beings] in the heavenly trio; in the name of these
three great powers—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit—those who receive Christ by
living faith are baptized, and those powers will co-operate with the obedient subjects of heaven
in their effort to live the new life of Christ"

“When we have accepted Christ, and in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy
Spirit have pledged ourselves to serve [i.e. reverence, honor, worship and obey] God, the
Father, Christ, *AND the Holy Spirit --the THREE DIGNITARIES [or royal beings] and powers [or
rulers] of heaven--pledge THEMSELVES that every facility shall be given to us if we carry out our
baptismal vows to "come out from among them, and be . . . separate, . . . and touch not the
unclean thing.” [See Matt. 4:10; Joshua 24:15; Psalm 100:2] ----E.G. White, Manuscript 85, 1901

“...God’s great plan is clear and logical. There is *A TRINITY, and in it there are THREE
PERSONALITIES [or three individuals]…We have the Father described in Dan. 7:9, 10…a
personality surely…In Rev. 1:13-18 we have the Son described. He is also a personality… The
Holy Spirit is spoken of throughout Scripture as a personality. These divine persons are
associated in the work of God…But THIS UNION IS NOT ONE IN WHICH INDIVIDUALITY IS LOST
…There is indeed a divine trio, but the Christ of that Trinity is not a created being as the
angels- He was the “only begotten” of the Father…”
-----Robert Hare, Australasian Union Conference Record, July 19, 1909

“You are baptized in the name of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. You are raised
up out of the water to live henceforth in newness of life--to live a new life. You are born unto
God, and you stand under the sanction and the power of THE THREE HOLIEST *BEINGS IN
HEAVEN, who are able to keep you from falling. . .”

“…the Godhead, or *TRINITY, consists of the Eternal Father, a personal, spiritual Being,
omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient, infinite in wisdom and love; the Lord Jesus Christ, the
Son of the Eternal Father, through whom all things were created and through whom the
salvation of the redeemed hosts will be accomplished; the Holy Spirit, the third person of the
Godhead, the great regenerating power in the work of redemption…We [Adventists] recognize
the divine Trinity, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, EACH POSSESSING A DISTINCT AND
SEPRATE PERSONALITY [or personhood], but one in nature and in purpose, so welded together
in this infinite union that the apostle James speaks of them as "one God." James 2:19. This
divine unity is similar to the unity existing between Christ and the believer, and between the
different believers in their fellowship in Christ Jesus…”

 DISSIDENT ANTI-TRINITARIAN ARGUEMENTS BRIEFLY DEBUNKED WITH PLAIN FACTS!
The dissident anti-Trinitarians in Adventism use all kinds of ploys, diversion tactics and outright
denials in order to ‘escape’ from and explain away the truth as seen in the foregoing
pioneering quotes, but try as they might they are fighting a losing battle. Their lame and
transparent arguments include the following:

1. They claim that since a human person’s spirit is “one” with and is never a separate person
from its owner, then that must mean that God the Father’s Holy Spirit or Jesus’ Holy Spirit
cannot be a separate person from him. This lame argument has so many loopholes because:

[a] Jesus is deemed to be God’s wisdom and power (1 Cor. 1:24), as well as God’s “logos”,
reason, mind, or his expressed word or “thought made audible, as it were (1 John 1:1-3 and
John 1:1-3, 14), and finally he is deemed in Isaiah 53:1-2 to be God’s holy “arm” (or “the arm of
the Lord”), and yet Jesus is “a distinct personality” or separate person from and is “sent” by his
Father (despite a human person’s wisdom, power, reason, thought or arm are not considered
separate from the owner).

[b] Just as Jesus is deemed the Fathers’ “representative” who is the “personification” (or
impersonation) of God himself while operating in imagery as his wisdom, power, holy arm,
etc., so too is the Holy Spirit depicted as Jesus’ “representative” who “personifies” or
IMPERSONATES Jesus himself while operating in imagery as “the finger of God”, or “the breath
of the Almighty”. In both cases illustrative imagery or metaphors are at play; it’s not a denial of
the “distinct personality” of the “living persons” called the Word of God, or the Spirit of God!!

2. They claim that the earliest SDA pioneers rejected the idea that the Holy Spirit is an
individual being, and even in later years (or after the 1890s when many SDA pioneers adjusted
their Godhead views) some still did not see him as an individual but rather a “person” (of
sorts) but one without individuality (and they point to the views of certain SDA pioneers like
W.C. White and M.C. Wilcox who opposed the view that the Spirit is an individual being). But
as the linked material under the introductory heading and the foregoing quotes do show, the
vast majority of the SDA pioneers after 1888 and before 1915 (the year when Mrs. White died)
came clean with themselves as it concerns word meanings, and were consistent in their
definitions and use of words like “persons”, “personalities”, “beings” and “three”. In addition
they rejected the Roman Catholic explanation of the Trinity (of non-individual “persons” of the
Godhead), and instead consistently taught separate individual Godhead persons or beings
forming the Trinity! The following quotes from photocopies of the original SDA pioneering
papers or periodicals are plain (one quote is from 1897 and the other from 1911). Take careful
note of the highlighted portions on each photocopied page, and allow the truth about the pre-
1915 SDA history to sink in.

Photocopy of The Columbia Union Visitor, July 5, 1911, Vol. 16, No. 27, pg. 6
3. The dissidents further claim that because Mrs. White depicted the Holy Spirit as Jesus
“himself”, therefore the Holy Spirit could not be a third and separate being of the Godhead.
Again, this argumentation is full of gaping holes, because Jesus is likewise described by Mrs.
White to be “God himself”, and “the only true God”, and she described him as “the Father with
us”, and went as far as depicting Jesus as the divine being who declared “I am the Lord thy
God”, and yet she point blank said Jesus is a “distinct personality” from his Father whom he
personifies, despite Jesus is “co-equally” our Lord and our God alongside him. The same
principle is seen at play in Mrs. White’s descriptions of the Holy Spirit being Jesus “himself” (as
already explained in 1b earlier).

4. They claim that the since the word “Trinity” is not in the Bible, it is therefore unbiblical to
teach a Trinity, and hence to accept a Trinity is to simply worship (so-called) “three Gods” or to
be a polytheist. Here, again, they will be debunked by the plain facts. In Section B of this
presentation I will delve fully into the issue of whether or not to accept and worship a Trinity is
polytheism, and I will prove that to reject the Trinity of separate Godhead beings united as
“one God” is to actually unwittingly practice polytheism while an SDA (the irony of ironies).
But let me first address this popular argument that since the word “Trinity” is not in the Bible,
then it is unbiblical to teach any form of a Godhead Trinity, and to accept a Trinity is to
worship (so-called) “three Gods” or to be a polytheist.
The vocal and dissident SDA anti-Trinitarians are regularly seen and heard decrying the word
"Trinity" as not being in the bible, but note carefully. The word "Bible" (from Latin for "the
Book"; singular) is not in the Scriptures (plural) or the inspired library of BOOKS (plural)
which we call "the Bible". Neither is the expression "investigative judgment" there, nor "the
remnant church", nor the expression "three living persons" of the "heavenly trio", nor is the
expression "the third person of the Godhead" there either, yet all used as extra-biblically
coined labels by the dissident SDA anti-trinitarians. So those SDA dissidents who seek to
argue against "trinity" not being there are clutching at straws and are being hypocritical,
since their own SDA pioneers eventually accepted its use long before the 1915 death of Mrs.
White, after first rejecting it in earlier years (and this fact also relate to expressions like "God
the Son", and "God the Holy Spirit"). Click the link to discover the plain evidence to that
effect. To be consistent then the dissidents should reject all of Seventh-day Adventism, and
all the extra-biblical language used by the SDA pioneers; not hypocritically use some extra-
biblical expressions and deny others coming from the same pioneers.

DOES THE BIBLE PROVE THAT THERE IS A GODHEAD TRINITY (OR GROUP OF THREE DIVINE
PERSONS UNITED)?
Now, since the Bible is the final authority on anything doctrinal, can we find proof in its pages
that it’s reasonable to accept a Trinity (or three separate persons) of the Godhead, or what the
post-1880 and pre-1915 SDA pioneers supportively called “the triune Jehovah” or “the triune
Deity”? I declare we certainly can, despite all the “protest” of the dissidents that we can’t.
The Bible certainly does prove a certain type of Trinity, once Scripture is compared with
Scripture and harmonized (just as Scripture must be compared with Scripture to determine
that, as all SDA believe, 1844 was the year the “Investigative Judgment” began (a doctrine that
must be deduced, since it is not plainly stated in Scripture, just like the Trinity of Godhead
beings). How do we BIBLICALLY know there is a "trinity" or divine group of “three persons
united", as listed and mentioned in Matthew 28:19? Here's how:

a] If the Father and Son are separate beings (Gen. 1:26; Prov. 30:4; John 1:1-3, 14), they
therefore could not both be the one Holy Spirit literally at the same time. If the one
OMNIPRESENT Holy Spirit (Eph. 4:4; Psalm 139:7-10) is owned by both the Father and the Son
*at the same time (Rom. 8:9), and Scripture is replete with the Holy Spirit being depicted as
personal (e.g. Acts 13:2-4 and Eph. 4:30), and is listed separately from Father and Son in very
many Scriptures (e.g. Matthew 28:19, Hebrews 9:14, Ephesians 4:4-6 and 1 Cor. 12:4-6), and

b] If both Jesus and the Father equally SENDS the Spirit to us (e.g. John 14:26, John 15:26 and
John 16:7), and

c] If a "sent" and a "sender" (like the Father sending His Son) must logically be personally
separate (it would be absurd otherwise, *unless one is a "Jesus only" or "Sabellian"
believer), and

d] If both Father and Son could not send themselves (that too would be absurd), and

e] If the Father is *never sent by Jesus, since the Father is *not subject to or led ("Headed")
by Jesus, but both Jesus and the Spirit are owned by the Father, and both speak/act in
response to the Father who leads them both, and sends them both, and

f] If the Holy Spirit intercedes (Romans 8:26-27) to the Father for us in our praying (not in
human priestly function as the Jesus the slain Lamb, or the one Mediator does, but the Spirit
influences our prayers while he resides in our hearts/minds, and God reads the mind of the
Spirit in us to know what is meant when we pray), and

g] If the Father could not intercede to himself (that would be equally absurd), and only a
person "intercedes", then

*THE ONLY LOGICAL CONCLUSION WHICH SATISFIES *ALL THE RULES OF LOGIC *AT THE SAME TIME IS THAT
THE OMNIPRESENT HOLY SPIRIT IS A PERSONAL"REPRESENTATIVE" OWNED BY BOTH FATHER AND SON, AS A
THIRD AND SEPARATE PERSON! IN THAT ROLE HE CAN BE SENT BY BOTH AS THEIR OMNI-PRESENT 'EMISSARY',
AND NONE BE SEEN AS RIDICULOUSLY SENDING THEMSELVES (AS SABELLIANS OR 'JESUS ONLY'
PROPOPONENTS BELIEVE)!!

AND THUS WE CAN SEE WHY BOTH FATHER AND SON WHO SAID, "WE WILL COME TO YOU AND MAKE OUR
ABODE WITH YOU", "COMES"*REPRESENTATIONALLY THROUGH THE AGENCY OF THE SPIRIT AS IF THEY
THEMSELVES ARE LITERALLY PRESENT! THE SPIRIT CAN ALSO INTERCEDE TO THE FATHER FOR US, BUT *ONLY IN
OUR PRAYING, AS HE RESIDES IN OUR HEARTS/MINDS, AND IT WOULD MAKE PERFECT SENSE ALL AROUND,
SINCE THE FATHER WOULD NOT BE RIDICULOUSLY SEEN AS INTERCEDING TO HIMSELF.

THESE CRUCIAL FACTS IRREFUTABLY PROVE THE *NECESSITY OF THE DISTINCTLY LISTED HOLY SPIRIT BEING
*NUMERICALLY A "THIRD" OR SEPARATE PERSONAL BEING IN THE GODHEAD; A GODHEAD OF FATHER, SON,
AND HOLY SPIRIT-- ALL BEARING ONE "NAME" (SINGULAR) AND ALL WORKING IN UNISON, AS 1 COR. 12:4-6, 11
CLEARLY SHOWS---AND DESPITE UNITED THEY'RE DISTINCTLY PERSONAL. THIS INDICATES WHY MATTHEW
28:19 LISTS THEM SEPARATELY IN JESUS 'OWN WORDS!! WHO KNOWS THE TRUTH BETTER THAN JESUS
HIMSELF SENT TO REVEAL IT TO US?"
And ULTIMATELY, since the distinct and personal Holy Spirit represents the very presence of
the Father and the Son (see 2 Sam 23:2-3; Acts 5:3-5; 2 Cor. 3:17, 18), then it is impossible to
praise or worship Father and Son and not praise or worship the Spirit!!

The preponderance of BIBLICAL evidence is clear for me.

SHOULD TRUE SDAs WORSHIP THE HOLY SPIRIT ALONG WITH THE FATHER AND SON?

One of the fascinating things I have found in my careful study of SDA history is that the SDA
pioneers have always worshiped, and sung songs of praise to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
and they did this both before and after they came to understand and accept and then
worship them as “three persons” comprising “the Trinity” (and they did so long before 1915
as well; that is, while Mrs. White was very much alive). It’s as if the pioneers first laid the
foundation about true worship inescapably involving the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit
BEFORE they even got around to doctrinally working out the details later (i.e. after 1888 and
before 1915) about whether these Three are three persons deserving of worship as “three
living persons” or “three personal beings”. This amazing reality does appear to be the leading
of God from the very beginning, since when the pioneers doctrinally fine-tuned these issues
later it did not undermine their worship; more information just simply amplified it and made it
more meaningful! Even the dissidents (the ones who do some research) are now forced to
admit (when confronted with the irrefutable historical data) that the SDA pioneers have
always sung praises to the Father, the Son and the Spirit in the words of the song, “Praise
God from whom all blessings flow….praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost”. All of the SDA
pioneering hymnals showed this to be true from in the 1840s through to the 1890s and into
the early 1900s when, for the first time, they begun to worship the Three as “the Trinity” (as
seen on page 6 of the 1908 “Christ in Song” SDA pioneering hymnal, where songs were listed
for the first time as “Praise to the Trinity”). See much more detail on this fascinating reality
about the pioneering hymnals at this link (click).

Mrs. White’s own words on record (backed up by other pioneers) effectively captured this
irrefutable historical SDA reality; a reality which many of the dissident anti-Trinitarians are
either covering their eyes from seeing, or they are seen desperately trying to explain it all away
(but without success). Note carefully the years of the following pioneering quotes:
"...let us [SDAs] consecrate to Him ["the Lord" our God] all that we are, and all that we have,
and then may we all unite to swell the song, “Praise God, from whom all blessings flow;
Praise him, all creatures here below; Praise him above, ye heavenly host; Praise Father, Son,
*AND Holy Ghost.”
---E.G. White, Review and Herald (SDA periodical), January 4, 1881

“Do the Scriptures warrant praise to and worship of the Holy Sprint? ...in the formula for
baptism, the name “Holy Ghost,” or” Holy Spirit,” is associated with that of the Father and
the Son. And if the name can be used thus, why could it not properly stand as a part of the
same *TRINITY in the hymn of praise, “Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost”?”

“When we have accepted Christ, and in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the
Holy Spirit have pledged ourselves to serve [i.e. reverence, honor, worship and obey] God,
the Father, Christ, *AND the Holy Spirit --the three dignitaries and powers of heaven--pledge
themselves that every facility shall be given to us if we carry out our baptismal vows to "come
out from among them, and be . . . separate, . . . and touch not the unclean thing.” [See Matt.
4:10; Joshua 24:15; Psalm 100:2] ----E.G. White, Manuscript 85, 1901

"...my soul, rejoice and sing, Glory to our Saviour King [i.e. Jesus]. For His love for sinful man,
When He left His Father's throne; For the work which He has done, To redeem and to atone,
May we all in glory praise The TRIUNE through endless days.”

"As the saints in the kingdom of God are accepted in the beloved [i.e. Paradise], they hear:
“Come, ye blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of
the world.” And then the golden harps are touched, and the music flows all through the
heavenly host, and they fall down and worship the Father and the Son *AND the Holy Spirit."
---E.G. White, Manuscript 139, 1906.

"God is worshipped because He is Creator; and God means the Godhead, Father, Son, and
Holy Spirit; for all are mentioned as having part in creation."

DOES THE BIBLE PROVE WE SHOULD WORSHIP THE FATHER, SON AND SPIRIT?
Again, since the Bible is the final authority on anything doctrinal, can we find proof in its
pages that it’s reasonable to worship the Father, Son and Holy Spirit together, and do so while
seeing them as “three living persons”? Yes, we can!
"Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve." ---Jesus, Matthew 4:10
"When he [God the Father] bringeth in the firstbegotten [Jesus] into the world, he saith, And let
all the angels of God worship him." ---Hebrews 1:6
"Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they [his disciples] came and held him by the feet, and
worshipped him." ---Matthew 28:9
"Of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ." --
Colossians 3:24
"At the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and
things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the
glory of God the Father." --- Philippians 2:10-11
"And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are
in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power,
be unto him that sitteth upon the throne [the Father], and unto the Lamb [Jesus] for ever and
ever." --Revelation 5:13
"2 Cor. 3:17 The Lord [i.e. either Jesus or the Father] is the Spirit: and where the Spirit of the
Lord is, there is liberty." [See Acts 5:3-5; 2 Sam. 23:2-3]"

Here is the KEY question people need to consider:

If God the Father appears in 'bodily' form on his throne in heaven, but also visits us ‘in
person’ via the person of the Holy Spirit who’s "sent" away from his throne to our bedroom
as we pray, and if he also ‘visited us’ for 33.5 years on earth via the person of the human
Messiah in flesh (i.e. as “God with us”; 2 Cor. 5:19), which manifestation of divinity is not
God (or divine) enough to be worshipped?

-the Father on his throne in heaven?

-the Father in invisible presence here on earth via the personal Holy Spirit who represents
him everywhere?
- Or the visible Son of God who represents God in flesh?

To reject any of the above listed as worthy of worship presents a serious dilemma, folks!!
And this dilemma is easily proved in the Bible with Scriptures galore. How can one worship
God who is a spirit and is "THE Holy Spirit" (2 Sam. 23:2-3; 2 Cor. 3:17, 18) yet refuse to
worship the very Holy Spirit which brings him in REPRESENTATIVE but personal invisible
presence to Church? It’s like saying you will worship God but you refuse to worship him
REPRESENTED in flesh via Jesus the human Messiah ( who’s “God with us”); the very Jesus who
was worshipped by the angels, higher beings than us humans (Heb. 1:6)!! A rather IMPOSSIBLE
notion indeed!!

Each time we truly worship God, we automatically worship God as the "eternal Spirit"
(Hebrews 9:14; John 4:24; 2 Sam. 23:2-3; Acts 5:3-5). And if God reveals that he can be bodily
on his throne in heaven, and here invisibly in the form of the personal Spirit who’s “sent” to
represent him or his very presence (Psalm 139:7-10), how can one refuse to worship him as
the Holy Spirit? And remember that the very fact that God REPEATEDLY lists the Spirit
separately but also alongside himself and His Son, tells us we MUST accept the Spirit both as
one with him (1 Cor. 2:9-11) and also distinct from him, but equally bearing his own name of
“the Lord” (Matthew 28:19; Eph. 4:4-6; 1 Cor. 12:4-6, 11)!! Thus what is due God or “the
Lord” is likewise applicable to his Spirit who represents him in invisible essence everywhere.
All true SDAs know, by the biblical evidence which became plain overtime (and backed by
confirmation through Mrs. White’s prophetic ministry), that we cannot worship God (as Rev.
14:6-7 demands) and not worship His Son and His Holy Spirit as a "distinct personality"
among "three persons" of divinity!! To protest the inescapable is a waste of time.
BOTTOM LINE? If in the end one must worship Father, Son and Spirit while worshipping him
who made heaven and earth (i.e. God the Father), then to try to 'escape' from and "protest"
against what is the logical outcome in the end seems silly and a grand waste of time!!
THAT SETTLES THE ISSUE ONCE AND FOR ALL, AND ANY “PROTEST” SEEN HEREAFTER AGAINST THESE
PLAIN REALITIES YOU CAN BE SURE THE “PROTESTOR” IS MISGUIDED AND IS A FALSE SDA MEMBER!!

Section B: SDA ANTI-TRINITARIANS DO BELIEVE IN AND

WORSHIP “TWO GODS”, OR BI-THEISM AND ARE
THEREFORE POLYTHEISTS
If the dissidents refuse to accept a doctrine which spiritually and *functionally unites as "one
God" more than one separate divine person who are BIBLICALLY called "our God", then they
are worshipers of two Gods (POLYTHEISM !!), since Jesus is our God and his Father is our God,
and they refuse to accept them as "one God" in function. They are therefore simply
polytheists....the TRUE type!!
That's the logical outcome of their DAILY anti-Trinitarian insistence in asking the popular
question when contending against the Holy Spirit, "where is the third God?"...a question
asked stupidly as if in reality there are "two Gods" (i.e. 'a first God' and 'a second God'). They
really do believe in two "Gods", and think that it’s better than believing in so-called "three
Gods"!! How ironic that they accuse Trinitarians of polytheism, yet themselves are guilty of
that very charge ....simply because they don't accept the Bible's own way of *functionally
uniting more than one divine being as our God (i.e. united *in *one *function; not that they
are just one person) !!
I did an eye-opening paper a few years ago on exactly that reality found to be existent among
the dissidents, and I again offer it to you the reader (click the link below for your free

Refute?

THE SDA PIONEERS ACCEPTED A "TRIUNE JEHOVAH" LONG BEFORE 1915 (1915 WAS THE
YEAR MRS WHITE DIED)

The SDA pioneers, who consistently taught separate divine beings of the Godhead, they
eventually recognized and accepted long before 1915 that the Godhead is “triune”, or is our
“triune God”, “the triune Deity” or “the triune Jehovah”, though not an indivisible substance of
non-individuals without form or body parts (as the Roman Catholics taught). Here’s proof.
On the very first page of the January 6, 1904 Signs of the Times SDA periodical (the "leading
missionary paper" or periodical", as it was described by the SDA pioneers themselves) are the
following arresting words....words published while Mrs. White herself (Adventism's
prophetess) was very much alive, ACTIVE AND PUBLISHING HERSELF:

"We art children of a Father with "all comfort" in his holding; Jesus is our "Elder Brother" and
his blood for us he gave; while the Holy Ghost, "the Comforter," each heart by truth is molding.
So the great, *TRIUNE JEHOVAH is omnipotent to save; he is building mansions" for us... as
children, we obey him. And the "image" and the 'likeness" lost, by grace shall be restored"
----Signs of the Times, January 6, 1904, Vol. 30 (No. 1), pg. 1

The pioneers eventually recognized that this was the only effectively way to avoid worshipping
“three Gods”, since Jesus, for instance, was “co-equally” our God just like the Father. Another
pioneering SDA periodical, the Oriental Watchman, echoed this same sentiment in the same
decade by saying:
"There is a loose habit of thought prevalent among Christians which so separates the gospel
dispensation from the one preceding it that one would almost conclude that the very nature of
the Godhead was changed at that time. But it is not so. In the very first chapter of Genesis we
have revealed the great *TRIUNE God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. "And let us make man in
our image." "And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters." Gen. 1:26, 2. It needs
only the inspired interpretation of the New Testament to fill out this picture and reveal to us
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit working together to bring light, harmony, and order out of the
darkness and chaos of the beginning. See John 1:1-5; Heb. 11: 3."
---The Oriental Watchman; Vol. 13 (No. 12), Dec. 1910, p.13

It's an amazing testimony of how the SDA pioneers were at that time freely attesting to their
developed perspective that the Godhead is "triune" (a term obviously borrowed from
Trinitarians). And just in case it be thought that this was anything new or isolated in 1904 and
1910, let us revisit the pioneer's use of this expression for the Godhead in both the Review and
Herald (Adventism's "leading church [or doctrinal] paper" or periodical) as well as other
pioneering SDA periodicals and publications BEFORE and after 1904 WHILE MRS WHITE WAS
VERY MUCH ALIVE (and with no rebuke whatsoever from her; i.e. if anyone thought this
expression was frowned upon by her).
In the Present Truth SDA periodical for April 7, 1887 (Vol. 03, No. 07, on pg. 100), the SDA
pioneers from as early as that spoke supportively of "the united force of the TRIUNE God"
being responsible for saving us. This was one year BEFORE the monumental and impactful 1888
General Conference where immediately after that the SDA doctrine on the Godhead saw
marked changes starting from in the 1890s.
Noteworthy is the fact that even Uriah Smith (in his 1898 book "Looking Unto Jesus") came to
admit that the unity between the Father and the Son, in connection with the Holy gives us "all
of Deity". Now when we remember that the word "Deity" (when capitalized) means "God", it
becomes clear that even Uriah Smith told us in his own way before he died in 1903 that "all of
God" is the Father, Son and Spirit united. And amazingly two years before that, in 1896, Uriah
Smith himself told us in the Review and Herald that we legitimately worship the Holy Spirit
alongside and among the members of, quote, "the same trinity" (with Uriah Smith fully well
knowing that a "trinity" involves "three persons"; never just two).

--Uriah Smith (“U.S.”), In the Question Chair, Review & Herald, 1896, Vol. 73, No. 43, pg. 685

Now, continuing. In the April 3, 1900 Review and Herald, it was plainly re-stated by the pioneers
that they had come to believe in the triune Godhead, when they said:

"Let Him [the Spirit] make you know, beloved, how surprisingly beautiful are the blended
personalities of our *TRIUNE God manifested by the personal presence of the Holy Ghost.”
---“Blended Personalities”, Review and Herald, Vol. 77, April 3, 1900, pg. 210

Baptisms were even being reported by the SDA pioneers as being done "in the name of the
triune Deity" (remember "the Deity" when capitalized simply means "God"):

“In the afternoon, at 3: 30 I conducted a singular baptismal service in the home of a sick sister
who, although bedridden, anxiously desired a burial with Christ. A bath tub was procured, and
after a straight talk on the necessity of baptism and salvation through it, I buried Sister Jennie
Bagley in the name of the TRIUNE Deity....."
---J. K. Humphry, Atlantic Union Gleaner, August 2, 1905, Vol. 4 (No. 30), pgs. 357-8

"By our baptismal pledge we avouched and solemnly confessed the Lord Jehovah as our Ruler.
We virtually took a solemn oath, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy
Ghost, that henceforth our lives would be merged into the life of these three great agencies, "
---E.G. White, Manuscript 67, 1907

"After we have formed a union with the great threefold Power [or triune Sovereign or Ruler;
singular], we shall regard our duty toward the members of God’s family with a sacred awe. We
shall seek to answer the prayer, “Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven,” by living pure,
sanctified lives, showing the world how the will of God is done in heaven."
---E.G. White, Signs of the Times, June 19, 1901

And, of course, it was common in those days for the SDA pioneers (including Mrs. White) to be
praising and worshipping all Three members of that "triune Deity", as we see in this 1881 and
1905 quote respectively:

"...let us [SDAs] consecrate to Him ["the Lord" our God] all that we are, and all that we have,
and then may we all unite to swell the songs, “Praise God, from whom all blessings flow; Praise
him, all creatures here below; Praise him above, ye heavenly host; Praise Father, Son, *AND
Holy Ghost.”
---E.G. White, RH January 4, 1881

"...my soul, rejoice and sing, Glory to our Saviour King [i.e. Jesus]. For His love for sinful man,
When He left His Father's throne; For the work which He has done, To redeem and to atone,
May we all in glory praise the TRIUNE through endless days.”
—The Present Truth, March 23, 1905, Vol.21 (No. 12) p.183

Notice carefully Mrs. White 1881 use of the singular pronoun "him" with reference to whom
we praise, but followed it immediately with praises directed to the Father, Son and Holy
Spirit (which is precisely what the "triune Jehovah" or the great threefold Power” is all
about).
Now, if there was any doubt that the SDA pioneers saw the SEPARATE BEINGS of the Godhead
as "the Triune God" long BEFORE 1915 (keeping in mind that these beings they always insisted
were separate beings), there should now be no doubt remaining, especially in light of the fact
that on page 6 of the 1908 denominational hymnal called "Christ in Song", it had three
Trinitarian-type songs listed under the heading "Praise to THE TRINITY"....a hymnal vetted by
the pioneers themselves, and compiled by Mrs. White's own nephew, F.E. Belden. In addition,
in the 1828 Webster's Dictionary of American English (of Mrs. White's time), the word "triune"
simply meant:
"Three in one; an epithet applied to God, to express the unity of the Godhead in a trinity of
persons."
http://webstersdictionary1828.com/Dictionary/Triune

For more details on how the SDA pioneers came to accept BEFORE 1915 that the Godhead is
"triune" or that there is a "triune Jehovah" or "triune God" (i.e. after some of the earliest
pioneers, like J.N. Loughborough in 1861, and R.F. Cottrell in 1869, are on record objecting to
the very idea of a "triune God" in existence), see the FREE eye-opening booklet linked here
(click the link to download):

https://www.scribd.com/document/61757754/Part-2-Pro-Trinity-SDA-Pioneering-Statements

And keep in mind, that even a well-known anti-Trinitarian online, Jason Smith (seen pictured on
the next page), he had to admit recently in 2017 on the “As It Reads” website that:
"....there certainly is a TRI-UNITY among the 3 Persons of the heavenly trio....God the Father,
His only begotten Son and the omnipresent Spirit [ironically this an expression also historically
used by Trinitarians in the past]. Therefore my appeal here is that we acknowledge that there
are good points on both sides of this discussion. Let us cease to be unwilling to admit a strong
point on the other side and come as close together as we possibly can. Let us deal honestly
with each other. If we do this prayerfully and humbly then I am convinced that we will be led,
even by the Spirit of God, to the position taken near the end of EGW's life which allowed for
flexibility regarding the 2nd and 3rd Persons of the Godhead."
----Jason Smith, Is Jesus Lord God Almighty, Dec. 17, 2017

MORE TROUBLE FOR THE DISSIDENTS:

And if the dissidents ever try to deny that Jesus is "CO-EQUALLY" our God, it immediately
makes them heretics within the SDA faith ( “heretics” who DONT know who Jesus really is),
and you can know what I mean based on these simple quotes (among many similar ones)
coming from their own prophetess, Mrs. White:

"Jesus is attractive. He is full of love, mercy, and compassion. He proposes to be our friend, to
walk with us through all the rough pathways of life. He says to us, I [Jesus] AM THE LORD THY
GOD; walk with Me, and I will fill thy path with light. Jesus, the Majesty of heaven, proposes to
elevate to companionship with Himself those who come to Him with their burdens, their
weaknesses, and their cares.“
---E.G. White, Lift Him Up, pg. 98

"Seek a thorough preparation to meet Jesus, that when He appears you may exclaim with
joy, "Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us." Isaiah 25:9. Eternal life
will then be yours, and you will be a partaker with Christ of His glory, ever to hear His glorious
approving voice and behold His lovely person."
-- E.G. White, The Faith I Live By, pgs. 351-352

"Christ lived and died as a man, that He might be God both of the living and of the dead."
---E.G. White, Letter 97, 1898

"...let Jesus, in His love and mercy, be revealed as the crucified Saviour, and from many once
unwilling lips will be heard the acknowledgment of Thomas, “My Lord and *my God.” [And
"CO-EQUALLY so, in fact]
---E.G. White, DA 808.1

"It was to save the transgressor from ruin that he who was *CO-EQUAL with God, offered up
his life on Calvary..."
--- E.G. White, Review and Herald, June 28, 1892

"The crowning glory of Christ´s [Jesus'] attributes is His holiness. The angels bow before *Him
[Jesus] in adoration, exclaiming, "Holy, holy, holy, Lord *God Almighty." Revelation 4:8. He is
declared to be glorious in His holiness. Study the character of God. By beholding Christ, by
seeking Him in faith and prayer, you may become like Him.“ ---E.G. White, CT 402.2

EQUALLY" with, and ALONGSIDE the Father, see:

 DEBUNKING THE DISSIDENTS ON THEIR BI-THEISM OR WORSHIP OF TWO GODS

Those who protest that you can’t have "One God" being deemed "a unity of three co-eternal
persons" they fail to realize that this is the only logical way to avoid the charge of polytheism
from outsiders to the faith (i.e. whether one worships Jesus and his Father as two beings, or
whether one worships the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit as three beings. They must be
deemed "one" as a family and one united thing to us *functionally (i.e. our God), but as a
group, since it is plain that more than one person in that group is our God, is our Creator, is
our Father (or is called the everlasting Father), is our Lord, and is our Saviour (despite the
Bible speaks of one God, one Creator, one Father, one Lord, and one Saviour). The only
alternative is to either have "two Gods" or "three Gods", or two or three beings being "our
God" in unrelated ways (rank POLYTHEISM) on the one hand, or on the other
hand, to deny that Jesus, for instance, another person separate from his
Father, is our Saviour, is our Lord, is called the everlasting Father, is our
Creator, and is our God. However, these two other alternatives are plainly
unbiblical, and are therefore heresies!!!!

BOTTOMLINE? Dissident but misguided "gurus" on the Internet, like Daniel Mesa and Dr. Allen
Davis, for instance, are so committed to declaring that we can make Jesus as "idol" by
worshiping him as our God "IN THE HIGHEST SENSE" just like the Father (MISTAKENLY thinking
its so-called “putting Jesus in the Father’s place”), that its plain they are now simply DENIERS
OF THE SON BEING “CO-EQUALLY” OUR GOD, AND HENCE HAVE REJECTED THE FATHER ALONG
WITH HIM!! How sad!! If only they would believe their very own pioneers who they claim to
emulate (all empty words really), because as the pioneers grew in knowledge over time they
proclaimed:

"Let no one, therefore, who honors Christ at all, give Him less honor than He gives the
Father, for this would be to dishonor the Father by just so much; but let all, with the angels
in heaven, worship the Son [as "Lord God Almighty", as Mrs. White affirmed], having no fear
that they are worshiping and serving the creature instead of the Creator."
--- E.J. Waggoner, Christ and his Righteousnes, 1890

"The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are one and receive worship. Each one represents all
the other members of the *Trinity...[but] Gabriel was only an angel bearing a message from
the great *Trinity of heaven, and could not receive worship [Rev. 19:10; Rev. 22:8-9]"
---S.N. Haskell, The Bible Training School, November 1907, No. 6, pg. 94
"...the Creator is the only Being worthy to receive worship....God is worshipped because He
is Creator; and God means the Godhead, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; for all are mentioned
as having part in creation ."
---The Present Truth (SDA periodical), Vol. 29, No. 48. Nov. 27, 1913, p. 757

THUS ANY OF THE GODHEAD THREE WE KNOWINGLY AND STUBBORNLY FAIL OR REFUSE TO WORSHIP OR
SERVE HERE AND NOW AS A PERSON OR AS OUR GOD, WE WONT MAKE IT TO PARADISE TO BE ABLE TO FALL
DOWN AND DO THE SAME THERE...UNLESS WE HERE AND NOW REPENT OF THIS GRAVE ERROR!!!

And just in case the dissidents think that they can try to overturn all of the truth shared with
you so far, dear reader, by using one of the following popular arguments, please note that
these arguments as well have been found to be wanting, and are easily refuted:
Argument 1: Mrs. White says we are to only “exalt” or worship the Father and the Son alone

RESPONSE?
Many of the dissidents keep misrepresenting the true meaning of her words that it’s only the
Father and Son who should be exalted, or worshiped. But she herself debunk them many times
over by saying that “him” that we should serve, worship, praise, pray to, etc., involve all
three… simply because they are “one” in the Godhead. It was the same Mrs. White who called
Jesus “the only true God” and called Jesus “the Lord our God” of the Old Testament and she
also made plain that “Christ alone should be exalted” (click the links to see much more on this)
and yet by no stretch of the imagination would this mean it excludes the Father of Jesus. Why?
Because all members of the Godhead are spiritually “one” and what applies to one applies to
all. See much more from Mrs. White at this link on the matter of Jesus alone to be “exalted”; a
reality which does not exclude the Father or their Spirit. This reality perfectly explains how a
praising of “him who made heaven and earth” (Rev. 14:6-7) results inevitably in a “threefold”
worship. With the heavens and earth being made by the Father, through the Son and their
Spirit (see Heb. 1:1-3; Psalm 104:30), that worship CANNOT be properly done by the true
Remnant Church without united praise and worship to all three (i.e. to “HIM” and whom he is
united with in action). This was the confession of the SDA pioneer S.N. Haskell in 1908, when
he made plain:

"...to John who fell before him [Gabriel] to worship he said, 'do it not [instead 'worship God' ;
Rev. 19:10]...Gabriel was only an angel, upheld by the same Power that sustained John, and
he would not for one moment allow John to be deceived by thinking he was a part of the
great *TRINITY of heaven, and worthy of the worship of mankind.”
– S.N. Haskell, The Story of Daniel the Prophet, 1908 edition, pg. 132

Enough said in response to that popular but weak argument! But if you the reader wants to
delve further into how the dissidents deny, hide way from, twist, and cover up much of the
truth in the overall story (and how to debunk them), visit this link for much more:

5.1073741829.1422297221&type=3&hc_location=ufi

Argument 2: The Bible proves that only two beings are in the Godhead, and no mention is
made of the Holy Spirit being either worshipped directly, nor do we read about the Spirit
sending greetings to the Church, nor is he/it seen sitting on God’s throne, nor is he/it seen in
Paradise fellowshipping with the saints.

RESPONSE?
The overall presentation so far should be enough to totally debunk this mistaken idea, but
since I believe in starting and ending with the Bible as the final authority in all things doctrinal,
let me close by offering you the reader a BIBLE-BASED free booklet which answers only from
the Bible the varied arguments supporting the theory of there being only two Godhead beings
which exist in heaven (click the link below for your free download):

Many of the SDA dissidents sadly display the following traits:
(as *quoted from Lazarus Castang)

Dear reader, let’s pray for them that God will humble them and release them
from the chains of self-deception that they have allowed themselves to be in. I
am certainly doing so myself (i.e. praying for them and myself), even as I do
what Isaiah 58:1 calls me to do, i.e. lift up my voice like a trumpet, and,
speaking fearlessly and frankly, but with the deepest love for all concerned,
show my people in Zion where they are going wrong….living in denial and
refusing to accept historical and biblical truth when it becomes evident!!!
