About Sal
Expertise
I am privileged to be able to offer an alternative insight into the complicated world of Seventh-Day Adventists (SDA) theology. I will rely heavily on the Bible, but will also consider history and use logic in exposing deficiencies in SDA teachings. I would ask anyone who is considering becoming a SDA or if you are already in the SDA church, but are searching for the truth, to please allow me to offer a different explanation for the claims of the SDA. Remember : "The truth will set you free" (John 8:32). I can answer your questions pertaining to the beliefs and history of the SDA. I am not able to answer questions concerning spirituality or church discipline.
Experience
I have extensively studied the theology of the Seventh-Day Adventists (SDA) for a number of years. I have many books and tape sets produced by experts in this field of study. I have debated current members of the SDA church. I have a great desire to help these people see the truth.

Question
Hi Sal,
I am not an expert on religion so I don’t put myself out for debate. John asked me to read Anthony’s response on clean and unclean food. John said “Sal would have us believe that we serve a god that can’t make up his mind”. I can’t see where John’s thoughts are relevant. We know that God has changed things through new covenants. You have provided examples of how circumcision, Passover, and atonement have all been changed through God’s new covenant. It’s funny how SDA’s pick and choose from the Bible. Their Clear Word even changes Bible text to support their false beliefs.
God Bless!

Answer
Hi David:
Yes, SDAs must pick and choose verses from the Bible in order to prop-up their make believe world. It's a sad fact that I have witnessed time and again with SDAs. I have learned that I can't pierce the thick veil that the SDA hierarchy has thrown over their understanding. Only the Holy Spirit can remove the veil. Our job as Christians is to try in our little way to plant the seeds that the Holy Spirit will later water.
Like the Jehovah's Witnesses, the SDA Church came out with their own Bible to support their aberrant beliefs. This Bible was so loudly condemned by all Christian scholars that they have decided to not call it a Bible. But it's purpose is still the same: to deceive readers into thinking that the Bible actually supports their Sabbath-keeping, Investigative Judgment, and other unbiblical beliefs.
Yes, I have shown that God does change things from covenant to covenant. The important thing is to remember what covenant you are under. It's those laws that you must keep not laws from other covenants. Again, SDAs cannot accept this because it goes against what they have been taught. Brother John is a good example of the blindness that come upon those who adhere to the Old Covenant. Yes, much of what he says is not relevant, but the sad thing is that he truly believes that it is relevant.
God Bless You,
Sal
