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,
Your answer to my question concerning Matthew 5:17-19 was very informative. Thank you!
In Matthew 5:18 why does Jesus say “until heaven and earth pass away”? What is he meaning by this statement?
God Bless!
David
Answer
Dear David:
In Matthew 5:17-19 Jesus is assuring the Jews that he is not trying to say that the Old Covenant was false. He is fulfill it not destroying it. In verse 18 Jesus saying that not one bit of the law will be made void by him until he fulfills it. Jesus is saying that all the Old Covenant is to be upheld "until heaven and earth pass away". This was Jesus' way of assuring the Jews that he honored the law as much as they did. However, he was going beyond their limited understanding. For the whole law would indeed pass away once he fulfilled it. Such a thought was beyond the Pharisees' understanding and so they had many disputes with our Lord.
I pray that this is helpful to you.
God Be With you,
Sal
