Penang Adventist Hospital Wishes you a Happy Deepavali
The celebration of Deepavali is associated with Lord Krishna, a major Hindu god. During the Deepavali festival, which usually lasts about 5 days, worshipers commemorate Lord Krishna’s victory over the cruel demon known as Narakasura.

Therefore, Deepavali commemorates Krishna defeating Narakasura.

The Inter-European Division Joins the Crusade for Climate Change and Calls the E …
One by one they are dropping like flies, joining the same fashionable climate change movement with the likes of Pope Francis, Greta Thunberg and other globalists. We have literally exchanged the message of the sanctuary, the Three Angels’ Message, the investigative judgment and other unique features of our faith for a new mission and calling. Many Seventh-day Adventists are now dedicating their efforts to saving the earth, restoring the ecology,…
Adventist Black Awareness Celebration Fails After School Published Photos of Whi …
A Seventh-day Adventist Academy in Tocantins, a state in central Brazil, decided to “honor” November 20, the national day of black awareness in Brazil.

COP26: Adventism’s New Obsession to Join the Climate Change Movement
It is beyond belief that the Seventh-day Adventist Church does not believe in getting involved in the national debate on abortion or the LGBT+ agenda. No, we can’t get involved in the real moral problems of our time that are so widespread in the world today because we have lost our prophetic voice to defend the law of God in the public arena. So instead of shedding light to these…
Seventh-day Adventists, in Partnership with ADRA, Praise COP26 and will Launch a …
The Seventh-day Adventist Church is adopting the same secular viewpoint on climate change being proposed by COP26, Pope Francis and other globalists. This secular view is one that completely ignores the Holy Scriptures and promotes the radical hysteria that our human civilization will come to an end within the next 10 years or less unless immediate and bold action is taken. On October 29, 2021, the Scottish Mission of Seventh-day…
Our Love for Heresy has Led Us to the Cathedral of Trent (Council of Trent) to S …
On October 10, 2021, Seventh-day Adventists joined an ecumenical event at the Cathedral of Trent, the same Roman Catholic building where the Council of Trent was held. The Council of Trent (1545-1563) was the official Roman Catholic response to the Protestant Reformation. This council affirmed the supremacy of the papacy, condemned the Protestant Reformers, revitalized the Inquisition, maintained tradition above Scripture and placed the Bible on a list of forbidden…
We Must Listen to Pope Francis: Adventists and Catholics Join the Oregon Health …

The event was called “Our Faith Communities and the Vaccine” and brought together health experts and two religious leaders, a Seventh-day Adventist pastor and a Jesuit-trained Roman Catholic priest. Why the state health agency only brought in an Adventist and a Jesuit to help promote the Covid-19 vaccine leaves little to…

Vaccine Tyranny: When Church and State Unite to Speak Like a Dragon
Government leaders want total submission when it comes to vaccination. They want you to do what they tell you, no questions asked. If you refuse they will take everything from you. No work, no food, no money, no unemployment checks, no travel, no rental properties and soon with the ever-increasing health mandates, no home. And if you complain and express your thoughts in public, you can be fined, arrested and…

A Student Rebellion at an Adventist Institution Denounces the School as ‘Homop …
Social justice is not biblical justice. The modern movement for social justice and equity is turning our youth into a wild rebellious group of radical ideologues. The goal of these modern social justice warriors is to deconstruct, overthrow, tear apart and burn down the pillars and landmarks of our faith. Sadly, too many churches and Seventh-day Adventists have joined the revolution.
On April 15, 2021, students at the Colegio Adventista de…

Adventist Health: We need 70 to 80 Percent of the Population to Receive this “ …
Seventh-day Adventists have become part of the globalist propaganda and are asking 80% of the world to receive the “wonderful, miraculous” Covid-19 vaccine. 80% percent of the world? We have completely rejected the health message that God gave us. We no longer believe that a healthy lifestyle and preventive medicine can help people against the flu (Covid-19). We have discarded the eight laws of health and the prophet of health,…
Adventists and Catholics Celebrate the Ecumenical Charter, Promote Eucharistic U …
One of the greatest indications that we have come to the end of God’s mercy is when we see churches, including Seventh-day Adventists, being bewitched by Rome and blindly “wondering” after the beast with great admiration. Our own people are working to forget the past. They are no longer concerned with biblical doctrine. They have embraced the error that separation with Rome is a scandal and that unity is more…

Adventists Embrace “Eucharistic Hospitality” on Their Journey Toward Christi …
Fatal heresies are attempting to undermine the foundations of our faith. A false and misguided unity is bringing all the churches together and they are exalting Romanism (the Holy Eucharist) and ecumenism above the word of God. There is an endeavor underway in the ecumenical movement to eliminate the practice of closed communion. The "Eucharistic Hospitality" is the fruit of 60 years of ecumenism. It is a modern ecumenical ceremony…

United Nations: April 22 is the International Day for Mother Earth
On April 22, the whole world was celebrating “Earth Day.” But “Earth Day” is not the official name for the April 22 celebration. The United Nations has shed some light on the April 22 event by revealing that the official annual celebration is called: “International Mother Earth Day April 22.”
So “Earth Day” is just an abbreviation for the “International Mother Earth Day” that is celebrated every year on April 22.…

Disobeying the Church: What are the Consequences, if Any?
The recent public announcement by the North German Union Conference to disregard the official position of the Seventh-day Adventist Church on women’s ordination [1] raises some questions about the possible consequences that such conduct should have. The defiant actions of a union to bless something that God’s word does not sanctions begs the question: What should happen to a conference, union or division that publicly incites rebellion or that tolerates…
Pope Francis: We still have Time to Begin Transforming Our Global Economy
Bible prophecy describes in the book of Revelation 17 that a power would exert significant political influence over the people of the earth.
