"SATAN
CLAUS" AN
ANSWER TO ELLEN WHITE'S CRITICS Page

Twas the night before Sunday Law,
when all through the sect
Not a creature was stirring among the elect
The tithe envelopes were placed near the chimney with care
Because withholding the tithe, well, no one would dare!
"when
all through the sect!"
now
that was a LOW BLOW by this would-be poet, considering the HIGH PRICE
that the Seventh-day Adventist church paid in the 1950s for the right
to play golf with their fellow Protestant ministers!
“After
years of dialog with leaders from the Seventh-day Adventist Church (SDAC),
the late Dr. Walter Martin, famed counter-cult evangelist and author
of the highly acclaimed The Kingdom of the Cults, publicly stated that
they were not a false sect, but rather a true Christian church. Many
Christian leaders and cult researchers disagreed, believing that Dr.
Martin had been deceived by the leadership of the SDAC.
Another hard-hitting, eye-opening documentary is now offered on an
Internet blog which answers once and for all the questions Dr. Martin
raised nearly fifty years ago. It explores the origins and teachings
of the sect and examines the claims of the founder and self-appointed
prophet, Mrs. Ellen G. White, comparing her unique beliefs with the
Bible. You will meet a number of former
high-ranking church leaders, many
of them fourth generation Adventists, and discover what happened when
they embarked on a journey to discover the truth about Mrs. White, the
doctrine of the “investigative judgment” and numerous other
teachings held by the movement. You will be shocked by what they
found."
After what was apparently a temporary "truce" at least some
of these Protestant ministers are back at it again, claiming
Seventh-day Adventists are a "cult" after all. Even though
church leaders convinced Walter Martin that we are
"Christians" after all. In this they are aided by
former Seventh-day Adventists, one or several of which may have
written this poem I am using here about "Satan Claus".
And I do agree that our leaders are guilty of letting down a barrier
that should have remained between us and those who Ellen White saw as
"the enemy of truth", and the "harlot daughters of
Babylon." In the 1950s most Seventh-day Adventists,
without being properly informed and consulted, were re-classified by
their leaders as "Fundamentalists" and
"Trinitarians."
