A recent online article in a theologically liberal Adventist magazine purports the need for a “critique” of the classic Adventist understanding of the three angels’ messages of Revelation, claiming the church’s original perspective on these issues is no longer relevant in the twenty-first century. Is there any credibility to this claim—-Biblically or otherwise?

Not all conspiracies are bad. Indeed, the Bible talks about one that took place on a Sabbath morning, and which resulted in a great revival and reformation among God’s people.

The Bible says that Jesus “ever liveth to make intercession” for His people (Heb. 7:25). Does this mean Ellen White contradicts the Bible when she speaks of Christ’s intercession coming to a close before His second coming?

If a pastoral employee or candidate refuses to acknowledge one or more of the church’s Fundamental Beliefs, if a speaker is invited by a local church whose public witness denies one or more of these (e.g. the Trinity, the investigative judgment, Ellen White’s prophetic authority), local Conference officials are fully within their right to forbid such a person to occupy any pulpit within its territory.  Beyond these official limits, such prohibitions are out of bounds and injurious to the unity of the church.
