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.

Education/Credentials

Question
Sal,

I finally got a chance to read your answer to my most recent follow-up on clean and unclean (10/26) and totally agree with your last paragraph…

“Brother John, let's accept each other as Christian brothers and not think negatively about a brother or sister who eats differently than we do. For as you admit in your last paragraph it's a "disputable matter" not bearing on our salvation.”

EXACTLY SAL!!! You finally hit the nail on the head!! Nothing else matters but our salvation!!

So if our salvation lies in Jesus alone and that is what SDA’s (as well as many other protestant faiths) believe, why then do you continue to single them out as needing your ‘help’? I don’t see you ‘helping’ the Seventh-Day Baptists. I don’t see you ‘helping’ the Church of God (Seventh Day). I don’t see you ‘helping’ the authors of the Hear and Obey website (hearandobey.com). And I don’t see you ‘helping’ the Jehovah’s Witnesses, Latter Day Saints or any of the multitude of other ‘misguided’ (to use your own words) faiths, so why direct your benevolence only towards the SDA’s? If your sincere Christian desire is to actually help the misinformed, then you have a very large and extremely important mission ahead of you.

By the way Sal… Just for the record. I never think negatively about a brother or sister who either eats or believes differently than I do, so in the spirit of Christian brotherhood I would appreciate you not implying that I do. I do however have a burden for others that are trying to ‘help’ me remove the spec from my eye.

Maranatha!!

John

Answer
Dear Brother John:

I can only help so many people. I have to make time for this ministry to SDAs. I did not choose this ministry, but God led me to it. He gave me this ministry to SDAs not JW, Mormons etc. I will be glad to help others if they ask, but it is here that I have been sent by the Lord and it is here that I have been doing my best to help. I don't leave it because so many people have told me that I have helped them and that is way God put me here.

Thanks,
Sal
