“Be
not deceived;
many will depart from the faith, giving heed
to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils. We have now
before us the
alpha of this danger. The
omega
will be of a
most startling nature.” (Selected Messages
bk.1, p. 197 1904)
“In
the book
Living Temple there is presented the
alpha of deadly heresies.
The omega will follow, and will be received by those who are
not willing to heed the warning God has given.”
{Selected Messages bk 1, p. 200 1904}
“I
have been instructed to warn our people; for
many are in danger of receiving theories and
sophistries that undermine
|
|
|
the
foundation pillars of the faith.” {Selected
Messages bk. 1 p.196 1904}
She is not speaking lightly of these theories, but she is
saying that they sweep away the entire foundation of the
Christian faith. (As formerly believed and taught by the
Seventh-day Adventist church.) |
It is only by
understanding that Jesus, John Mark
(author of “John”),
and Paul were all Essenes, and what they really believed and
taught, that we can understand
(and avoid)
this Heresy!

None of the James and Ellen White family believed in the
so-called “Divine
Trinity”
(as mandated by the Nicene Creed) –but J.H. Kellogg, author of
Living Temple came to believe in and teach this
doctrine to make his so-called “Pantheism” acceptable – a
non-personal Holy Spirit, equal to the other 2 persons |
 |
|
in the “God-head” could be everywhere! Wrote Ellen: “You
are not definitely clear on the personality of God, which is
everything to us as a people. You have virtually destroyed the
Lord God which is “EVERYTHING to us as a people”, (Ellen White
to John Harvey Kellogg, Letter 300 -1903)

Kellogg did not understand God as a personal being, but rather he
had come to view God as three persons. Kellogg, in speaking to Elder
GI Butler, the former president of the General Conference had ran
into so. much controversy
on the
issue of the Trinity and was so out of harmony that he boiled the
issue down to his understanding of the Holy Spirit being a person.
Clearly he was not in agreement with Elder Butler, and clearly
Butler did not believe the Holy Spirit was a person in the sense
that God the Father, and Jesus His Son were person.
James White in 1846
“Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the
common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you and exhort
you that ye should earnestly contend for THE faith which was once
delivered unto the saints…” (Jude 3, 4) …The exhortation to contend
for the faith delivered to the saints, is to us alone. And it is
very important for us to know what for and how to contend. In the
4th verse he gives us the reason why we should contend for THE
faith, a particular faith; “for there are certain men,” or a certain
class who
deny the only Lord God and our Lord Jesus Christ.…
The way spiritualizers have disposed of or denied the only Lord God
and our Lord Jesus Christ is first using the old unscriptural
Trinitarian creed,
viz.,
that Jesus Christ is the eternal God, though they have not one
passage to support it, while we have plain scripture testimony in
abundance that he is the Son of the eternal God.”
(James White, January 24, 1846,
The Day Star)
“Here we might mention the Trinity, which does away
the personality of God, and of his Son Jesus Christ,
and of sprinkling or pouring instead of being “buried with Christ in
baptism,” “planted in the likeness of his death:” but
we pass from these fables to
notice one that is held sacred by nearly all professed Christians,
both Catholic and Protestant. It is, The change of the Sabbath of
the fourth commandment from the seventh to the first day of the
week.” (James White, December 11, 1855,
Review & Herald, vol. 7, no. 11, page 85, par. 16)
Willie White in 1935
(2 years after I was born in 1933 – R.F. Holt)
“It is urged by some of our leaders now that The Holy Spirit
is a third person of the same nature of the Father and Son, a member
of the heavenly trio, cooperative in creation and personally active
with the Father and Son.
For many years I have used these statements of Sr. White in
combating false teachings relative to defining the Holy Spirit.”
(Letter by H. W. Carr to Willie White, January 24, 1935)
Now this is quite interesting that some of our pioneers used
these statements of Ms. White in combating the false teaching
regarding the Holy Spirit. Notice Willie’s clearly non-trinitarian
response.
“In your letter you request me to tell you what I understand
to be my mother’s position in reference to the personality of the
Holy Spirit.” “This I cannot do because I never clearly understood
her teachings on the matter. There always was in my mind some
perplexity regarding the meaning of her utterances which to my
superficial manner of thinking seemed to be somewhat confusing….The
statements and the arguments of some of our ministers in their
effort to prove that the Holy Spirit was an individual as are
God the Father and Christ, the eternal Son, have
perplexed me and sometimes they have made me sad.
One popular teacher said ‘We may regard Him, (the Holy Spirit) as
the fellow who is down here running things.’
My perplexities were lessened a little when I learned from
the dictionary that one of the meanings of personality, was
Characteristics.
It is stated in such a way that I concluded that there might be
personality without bodily form which is possessed by the Father and
the Son.
There are many Scriptures which speak of
the Father and the Son and the absence of Scripture making similar
reference to the united work of the Father and the Holy Spirit or of
Christ and the Holy Spirit,
has led me to believe that the spirit without individuality was the
representative of the Father and the Son throughout the universe,
and it was through the Holy Spirit that they dwell in our hearts and
make us one with the Father and with the Son….” (Letter by Willie
White, April 30, 1935)

My father,
Russell F. Holt, whose picture you see on the left, was a
Seventh-day Adventist preacher and church school teacher (and
a non-Trinitarian all of his life) partly because he died in
the 1950s while the top church leaders were deciding to
“convert” the entire church to Trinitarians (without the
|
 |
individual
members knowing
or understanding what they were doing) – on the right is my own
picture as I graduated from Columbia Union College in 1967 – I later
became an Medical Doctor,
graduating
from
LLUSM
and
SH in ’71.
