Thank you for the eye-opening and Frank Bible-based information. " do all to the glory of God".
Be ware of Roman leaders in the SDA Church. This man is not an Adventist. They have been brought in to destroy. Shame on you.
My fear is that his involvement with Catholics through education and involvement in societies headed people under the "holy father's" office has made SDA set aside its true mission
shame on adra for joining in cop 28 this is not our job on this world shame again better repent
The professed followers of Christ are no longer a separate and peculiar people. The line of demarcation is indistinct. The people are subordinating themselves to the world, to its practices, its customs, its selfishness.
What an informative, enlightening discussion this is. It is vitally important that humans maintain the distinction between church and state, between for profit and non-profit, between governmental and non governmental, between corporate and individual. Furthermore, the devolution of authority and autonomy of sub-units counteract internal dominance and dysfunction in an organization, and also limit the sprouting of sub-organizations beyond the normal grassroots to offices departmental alignment.
Thank you for the inspiring ANN news and interviews Bhaju Ran = Nepal
I respect Ganoune Diop for leading the movement to adapt to the modern world-a world in which traditions are being shaken & swept away. The development of society has brought to the Adventist Church issues that can't easily be addressed only within the walls of the church. These issues includes (1) Bringing about equality of women & men (2) Handling the issue of LGBTQ (3) Responding to the call for religious cooperation (4) What to do with rebelliousness of those who think they are more knowledgeable or holier than church leaders (5) Addressing issues of nuclear war, global warming & conflict arising from the integration of cultures & peoples of the world. These issues have been created by the development of society & can’t be definitively addressed without creating division & conflict within the church between those wanting the church to modernize & the diehard traditionalists. This situation of potential serious disunity in the church would go against Christ’s call for the unity of His followers.
We're NOT supposed to address such issues-we are to present the three angels' messages to the entire world and to firmly stand against Popery disguising itself as an angel of light to hide its true motives which is domination of religious and political landscape. Thus, by doing so, the world cherishes Satan's methods and principle of justice which is to inflict punishment for justice's sake. You are prove in the pudding that )3$ûîtß have taken over corporate Adventism and the only ministries doing present truth ministry is the independent ministries that are not rotten to the core by bureaucracy, Romish values and principles, and “the ends justify the means” mindset.
“This contest is to decide whether the pure gospel shall have the field in our nation, or whether the property of past ages shall receive the right hand of fellowship from Protestantism, and this power prevail to restrict religious liberty. The struggle is right upon us. We are years behind, and yet men in responsible positions will in their blindness keep the key of knowledge, refusing to enter themselves and hindering those who would enter. The message must go broadcast that those who have been imperceptibly tampering with popery, not knowing what they were doing, may hear. They are fraternizing with popery by compromises and by concessions which surprise the adherents of the papacy. But let us hope it is not yet too late to do a work that our people ought to have done years before this.
God has children, many of them in the Protestant churches, and a large number in the Catholic churches, who are more true to obey the light and to do [to] the very best of their knowledge than a large number among Sabbathkeeping Adventists who do not walk in the light. The Lord will have the message of truth proclaimed that Protestants may be warned and awakened to the true state of things and consider the worth of the privileges of religious freedom which they have long enjoyed.
This land has been the home of the oppressed, the witness for liberty of conscience, and the great center of Scriptural light. God has sent messengers who have studied their Bibles to find what is truth, and studied the movements of those who are acting their part in fulfilling prophecy in bringing about the religious amendment which is making void the law of God and thus giving ascendancy to the man of sin. And shall no voice be raised of direct warning to arouse the churches to their danger? Shall we let things drift, and let Satan have the victory without a protest? God forbid.” 6LtMs, Ms 30, 1889, par. 74 - 6LtMs, Ms 30, 1889, par. 76
Thanks to Ganoune Diop and others-the corporate church has fallen to Romish power and values by coercing their staff to receive an experimental medicine that may or may not have unforeseen side effects on the body which is being demonstrated by those of whom have taken the injection and the plethora of added boosters as well.
Adventism has lost its mission; it's completely lost its focus because of the tyranny it has employed by the carnally-minded methods and principles it has employed in its operation, the penal-legal lies that have blanketed much of its teaching of soteriology-the plan of salvation-as of late, the lukewarmness of leaders not wanting to cause a stir by rightly calling out the corporate conference SDA Church of shaking hands with Rome in ecumenical talks.

Diop needs prayers. He is doing his best to form an unholy alliance between the beast power and the SDA church. True followers of Christ are united because they are like minded. We should never be in "unity" with professed believers that are compromising Biblical doctrine. There is no way to NOT have division when the GC is caving and allowing the individual divisions to make their own decisions in some cases to support LGBTQ, ecumenism, women's ordination and the like. The GC also totally caved on religious liberty by not only refusing to provide religious exemption letters for the jab, but also by actively supporting the jab by allowing churches to be used on the Sabbath as centers to give the jab. Ecumenism is not a good thing. If you make it a habit to gather with members of other churches that have different doctrines, more often than not, you will assimilate to them rather than them assimilate to you. Your meaning of "modernize", based on the context, is synonymous with compromise or "become more tolerant". It's not a serpent and an apple, but the principle is the same. Look what happened to Israel in the Old Testament every time they compromised, or Saul taking loot and not killing livestock when God told him to destroy everything. Division in the SDA church must happen. It's called "The Shaking". That's how the wheat will be separated from the chaff.
I'm praying for you to be wheat.
Principles of individual human rights and ethics, which work together with biblical teachings on the image of God and moral accountability, will always endure and will always eventually triumph, regardless of views and votes. The historical challenge is to limit fast, crowd-fuelled violations from dominating. The creature may also distort the divine personality and character, by projecting God as an eternally full grown dictator, in order to justify theocracies and holy wars, which is also very damaging spiritually, humanly, and environmentally. Ultimately, God's character will be vindicated not by persons who distort his attributes in order to impose their tumultuous will upon others, but by persons humbly growing up into the likeness of the divinity.
We must be an Elijah people presenting an Elijah message for this time in Earth's history.
The three angels' messages has often been presented historically by Seventh-day Adventists as promoting Sabbath-keeping among all Christians-Paul himself says that as it pertains to religious observances, “...everyone should be fully persuaded in their own mind.” Romans ch. 14 v. 5.
In order for us to leave spiritual Babylon, we must worship He who created the heavens, the earth, the sea, and the springs of water. Malachi chap. 4 perfectly coincides with this message as Elijah was calling the people to reject the pagan infection that had taken root in the minds of people of his day. Likewise, the veil of lies from the adversary, Satan, has veiled the everlasting truth of God's character of love revealed in His Son throughout His earthly ministry as well as at His crucifixion.
We must all put aside the pagan god concepts of our heavenly Father and worship Him as Christ revealed His testimony of His Father in these words, “If you've seen Me, you've seen the Father.”
We must come back to a true knowledge of our heavenly Father-this is the only way a true pouring out of the Latter Rain of the Holy Spirit can truly be commenced.
Paul says the following in 2 Cor. 10:3-5, “3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. 4 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, 5 casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ...”
We must make a right judgment about God and His character as the first angel calls us to do-to worship the Creator whose laws are an expression of His character of love and that only harmony with His laws springs forth life, happiness, peace and joy.
