We are excited to have Dr. Gilbert Valentine as our guest speaker! Dr. Valentine is a respected Adventist scholar and educator who, even in retirement, continues to teach occasionally at the H.M.S. Richards Divinity School at La Sierra University in California. Originally from New Zealand, Dr. Valentine has served the Adventist Church in pastoral ministry, youth leadership, and higher education around the world—including in Pakistan, England, Thailand, Australia, and his home country. He is widely recognized for his work in Adventist history and Ellen White studies. His writings include several major biographies and books exploring the development of Adventist thought, leadership, and prophetic identity. His forthcoming biography of theologian Edward Heppenstall is expected to be released by Pacific Press this summer. Dr. Valentine is also a beloved member of our Azure Hills Church family. He and his wife, Dr. Kendra Haloviak Valentine, live in Riverside, where he enjoys cycling through the citrus groves near their home. The title of Dr. Valentine's message this is “Beware the Travel Brochure." Here's a preview: "Sometimes our experience at a destination does not match what the glossy travel brochures promised. What do we do when that reflects our experience in the church? The assurance that Jesus is the builder of the church assures us that though the development process might at times be messy and uncomfortable, the community being built is strong. Jesus is an experienced builder. What can we learn from Jesus' confidence in the future of the church?" - Dr. Gilbert Valentine

On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast, Hank talks about the prevalent misperception in popular culture that heaven is going to be one big bore.Hank also answers the following questions:What does the last trumpet refer to in 1 Corinthians 15:51-52? Anthony - St. Louis, MO (4:40)I've struggled with sexual sin. A friend suggested that I am suffering from encounters with incubus and succubus demons. Are these real demonic beings? Darwin - St. Louis, MO (15:12)Is it ok to tithe to an organization instead of a church? Matt - Augusta, ME (17:55)Do you think that Scripture is designed in such a way that those who choose to reject it will find reason to do so? Joe - Robbinsville, NJ (21:06)Is the Seventh-day Adventist Church a cult, and do they line up with Galatians 1:7-9? Myron - Leland, NC (23:53)

Missionaries in the late 19th and early 20th century often didn't speak the language and didn't know anyone in the new country they were going to, at least at first. Missionary boards typically sent couples like Joseph and Jennie Westphal into the field together so that they would not have to go it alone.  But this didn't stop single women missionaries in South America like Lucy Post and Olive Westphal from carrying out their calling of service. They found ways to build support networks of community, friends and other family members so their work was impactful and long-lasting, laying the foundation for medical clinics, hospitals, churches and universities that are still present today.  Thank you to our guests, Dr. Silvia Sholtus & Pastor Kayla Goodman.  Special thanks to Ashlee Chisholm from the General Conference Archives for helping us find photos of Jennie Westphal and Lucy Post.  Explore More Article | Lucy Belinda Post (1845–1937) - Encyclopedia of Seventh-day Adventists  Article | Jennie Westphal - “Parents Par Excellence” - Review and Herald Vol 145 No. 31, 1968  Book | “Women in leadership in the beginnings of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in South America“ by Silvia Sholtus, Margarita Biaggi (Translator)  This episode mentions Lucy Post, Luisa Post, Frank and Mary Westphal, Joseph and Jennie Westphal, Olive Westphal, River Plate University, Argentina, Brazil and South America.

On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast (04/30/25), Hank answers the following questions:I am confused about Matthew 24:29, which talks about immediately after the tribulation, but in Matthew 24:31 refers to the trumpet call and the angels gathering the elect. Wouldn't this be the elect coming from heaven instead of Earth? James - Richmond, VA (0:48)How are we supposed to pray? What does it mean to pray “on Earth as it is in heaven”? Dawn - Layton, UT (5:06)In Genesis 6:1-4, are the “Sons of God” angels that had relations with the “daughters of men”? Oscar - Springdale, AR (8:48)I've struggled with sexual sin.

Part 10 In concluding this series on the Seventh-day Adventist Church, examination is given to some of the common heresies shared among the sister cults that emerged from the broader Adventist movement in the mid-nineteenth century, arising from the failed predictions of William Miller, including Jehovah's Witnesses and Christadelphians.  In this teaching, these common doctrinal heresies shall be explored and briefly refuted.   To wrap up this series, consideration shall be given to the different positions within Adventism, namely the traditionalists vs. the progressives.  Which side of the fence does the Adventist Church fall on today, and in the final analysis, is Seventh-day Adventism a cult?

In this episode of Prove All Things, Robert Onsando critiques the Seventh-day Adventist Church's foundational doctrines, focusing on Ellen G. White's elevated role and the controversial teaching of the 1844 investigative judgment. He challenges the church's interpretation of communion frequency, the meaning of “high Sabbaths,” and its justification of failed prophecies, arguing these ideas are unbiblical and misleading. Robert also shares about his ministry in Kenya, where he teaches biblical feasts and calendars despite resistance and calls for support in spreading the gospel.

Part 9 It has been well said that the only distinctive doctrine of the Seventh-day Adventist Church is the doctrine of the Investigative Judgment.  This doctrine lies at the heart of Adventism and is woven into the fabric of how the Adventist Church views atonement.  In short, the doctrine of the Investigative Judgment teaches that in 1844, Jesus Christ began a work of judgment, examining the records of all professing believers to determine their worthiness to obtain heaven.  When one asks what is the standard by which they shall be judged, the answer is returned, the law of God!  According to Ellen G. White:  “All who have truly repented of sin, and by faith claimed the blood of Christ as their atoning sacrifice, have had pardon entered against their names in the books of heaven; as they have become partakers of the righteousness of Christ, and their characters are found to be in harmony with the law of God, their sins will be blotted out, and they themselves will be accounted worthy of eternal life.”   The doctrine of the Investigative Judgment is a damnable doctrine as it not only adds law to grace and works to faith, but it denies the finished work of the cross since it maintains that from 1844, Christ entered the second and last phase of His atoning ministry. It is a work of investigative judgment, which is part of the ultimate disposition of all sin (SDA Fundamental Belief 24). How can there be a final phase of atonement when Calvary WAS the final atonement?  We shall explore this at length in this teaching, along with the infamous Sanctuary doctrine.

Peter Noteboom, the current General Secretary of the Canadian Council of Churches and Co-Chair of the Canadian Interfaith Conversation, shares his experiences and perspectives on ecumenism, emphasizing the importance of unity, peace, and love in the Christian faith. He highlights that the Christian witness can be strengthened when individuals deeply engage with their own denominational traditions. In this spirit, he calls on the Adventist Church in Canada to contribute its unique voice to the work of the Canadian Council of Churches.

Part 7 As one combs the pages of the New Testament Epistles, one will find that nine of the ten commandments written on tablets of stone are also explicitly prohibited by the New Testament writers except for one, “Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy” (Ex. 20:8).   Ironically, the only commandment of the ten, not brought across into the new, is the commandment which Seventh-day Adventists major on the most. To understand why the Seventh-day Adventist Church places such emphasis on the seventh day, one has to first understand the emphasis placed upon this day by its prophet, Ellen G. White.  In this teaching, we shall take an in-depth look at what Mrs White and the Adventist Church teach regarding the continuing biding nature of the Sabbath and ask ourselves whether it is the same as what the Bible teaches.

The history of the Seventh-day Adventist Church includes a shift from early rejection of the Trinity to a strong affirmation of the triune God, but in recent years, there has been a growing movement to revisit earlier views. This article explores the biblical foundation of the Trinity, its significance in Adventist belief, and the importance of fostering a deeper, personal understanding of the doctrine in worship and daily life. 

Part 6 According to the Seventh-day Adventist Church, love for Jesus Christ is manifested by one's obedience to the Ten Commandments; without obedience to these commandments, no man shall enter the kingdom of heaven. The goal of this teaching is to establish what commandments Jesus had in mind when He said, “If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love” (Jn. 15:10). In addition to answering this question, consideration shall be given to arguments raised by Seventh-day Adventists to support their claim for the continuing binding nature of the Ten Commandments.  Download teaching notes (pdf) https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/bethesdashalom/6_Answering_Adventist_Arguments_for_Law.pdf

My guest today is Stephen Barry.Stephen is a massage therapist living in the Nashville, Tennessee area.Stephen is someone who I have wanted to have on the podcast for years, so it's truly a delight to finally share this conversation here.Stephen originally connected with me after I was on a podcast called Everyone's Agnostic.  We had a number of things in common including our upbringing in the Seventh-day Adventist Church.  And stepping away from that faith community.  Stephen also recognized my last name and asked if I was related to Doug Tilstra.  My father-in-law, Doug Tilstra, had been one of his professors in university and, as you'll hear in Stephen's story, has remained a prominent friend and support to him.In our conversation today, Stephen shares pieces of his story of leaving religion, coming out as gay, nearly giving up on life, and re-finding community, faith, and love.  Embedded in this is an amazing story of friendship and making life less difficult for each other.Stephen, thank you so very much for this conversation.  I feel so grateful to be connected.  Thank you for sharing your stories with authenticity, vulnerability, love, and compassion.  You make the world a better place!If you'd like to connect with Stephen, you'll find links below.https://www.facebook.com/barryorchestra Make Life Less Difficult~ Support:buymeacoffee.com/lisatilstra

Part 4 The question that has plagued the Church of Jesus Christ for the duration of its 2000-year history is the question that shall be answered in this teaching.  The oldest heresy in Christianity was not the denial of the deity of Christ. The oldest heresy can be traced to the fifteenth chapter of the Book of Acts, to a sect of men who came down from Judea to the Gentile congregations of Antioch and the surrounding regions, who began teaching the Christians that Except ye be circumcised after the manner of Moses, ye cannot be saved (Acts 15:1).  Thank God that this question was not left open for proceeding generations to play guess-work.  The answer to the question; Is the Law of Moses binding upon Christians?, was answered conclusively 2000 years ago in the first council of Jerusalem, and its conclusions have been set out in that 15th chapter of Acts.  One would think that this evidence would be enough to turn any law-seeking believer away from such pursuit and to guide them back to safety.  The fact remains, some 2000 years on, the question: Is the Law of Moses binding upon Christians?  For some, it is a resounding yes!  Leading the way in this is the Seventh-day Adventist Church, which for more than 160 years has promoted the continuing binding nature of the Law upon all.      Download teaching notes (pdf) https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/bethesdashalom/4_Is_the_Law_Binding_Upon_Christians.pdf

How can churches adapt their financial strategies to meet the growing demands of community projects? This article explores innovative fundraising principles and strategies demonstrated through the Campion Seventh-day Adventist Church, showcasing the importance of expanding beyond traditional tithes and offerings. 

Part 3 Ellen G. White had over 2000 visions during her lifetime and the content of those visions resulted in over 100,000 pages of writings which the Seventh-day Adventist Church consider to be inspired by the Holy Spirit and a continuing and authoritative source of truth. Ellen White claimed that her visions and writings were not simply expressions of her ideas, but originated from God. What do you call a prophet who prophesies things that don't come to pass?  What do you call someone who steals from others' works while trying to pass them off as writings inspired by God?  In this teaching, further investigation is given to Mrs White's prophecies and writings to determine whether or not she was a prophet called by God.    Download teaching notes (pdf) https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/bethesdashalom/3_Was_Ellen_G_White_a_Prophet.pdf

Lee - Blue Eye, MO (4:22)I thought I saw two UFOs. What are your thoughts on UFOs and the show Ancient Aliens? Tom - Wilmington, DE (8:49)What are your thoughts on the Seventh-day Adventist Church?

Part 2 The Seventh-day Adventist Church arose out of the Great Millerite Disappointment of 1844.  The nineteenth century saw a literal explosion in the number of cults and religious groups springing up in the United States. Early on in Adventist history, Ellen G. White stamped her mark as a prophet, claiming to receive visions from God which guided and shaped the movement. Without Ellen G. White, there is no Seventh-day Adventism.  In this teaching we take a look at the early beginnings of Seventh-day Adventism and in particular, the nature of Mrs White's visions and the substance of her writings.  What does make of someone who teaches others one thing regarding the eating of meat, while at the same time eating meat herself?  I shall allow the evidence to speak for itself.

On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast (02/10/25), Hank answers the following questions:What is your interpretation of 1 Corinthians 11:14 and men having long hair? Ren - Somerset, PA (0:49)Can you comment on the Seventh-day Adventist Church's teaching on Sunday worship being the mark of the beast? Shed - Memphis, TN (2:49)Can you explain the dream of Nebuchadnezzar in Daniel 2? Do the feet of iron and clay represent a revived Roman Empire coming in our time? Chris - Tyler, TX (5:07)What about the Old Testament restrictions on things that cannot be done on the Sabbath? Chris - Tyler, TX (8:28)I'm debating with my pastor. In Matthew 24 Jesus says not one stone will be left on another, but what about the Wailing Wall that is still standing? Keith - Bakersfield, CA (15:11)Does Ezekiel prophesy about the second temple, or a third or fourth temple as the dispensationalists say? Keith - Bakersfield, CA (18:47)

Part 1 In 2023, the Seventh-day Adventist Church saw more additions to its membership than any year since its founding in 1863.  In 1961 the Seventh-day Adventist Church had a global membership of about a million.  Today they have a membership of more than 22.7 million, meeting in more than 100,000 Churches, spanning some 215 countries worldwide.  Without question, the Seventh-day Adventist Church is one of the fastest-growing organisations in the world vastly outnumbering the global membership of Jehovah's Witnesses. When one goes to the official website of the Seventh-day Adventist Church to look at their statement of ‘Fundamental Beliefs'; upon first glance, one finds nothing of real concern.  They believe in the inspiration of the Scriptures, the doctrine of the Trinity, the deity of Jesus Christ, substitutionary atonement and salvation by faith as a gift of God's grace.  However, Seventh-day Adventists are adept at saying one thing out of one side of their mouth while taking it back out of the other.  In continuing to explore what else is included in their Fundamental Beliefs, emerging cracks begin to appear, which when further investigated reveal a rupture in the foundations!  In this introductory teaching, we shall discover what Seventh-day Adventists believe and why they are classified as a cult.

Based on his calculations of Daniel 8:14, Miller predicted that Christ would return to earth around 1843–1844.The Great Disappointment (October 22, 1844): When Jesus did not return on the predicted date, many of Miller's followers abandoned the movement.
