An Open Letter to Seventh-day Adventist Pastors
The reader will find below a numbered series of thoughts that were put together by a currently employed Seventh-day Adventist pastor in an effort to establish the doctrine of the trinity using mostly Ellen White’s writings. These thoughts came to me in the order following, and were originally numbered as they are. I’ve added responses in blue considering the context of each passage with additional Bible verses.

1st:
We cannot define or understand the Holy Spirit beyond what inspiration says.
“It is not essential for you to know and […]

Angels Ascending and Descending
Based on Genesis 28 and John 1, the following quotes are quite interesting:
-
-
- Genesis 28:10 Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward Haran.
- Genesis 28:11 And he lighted upon a certain place, and tarried there all night, because the sun was set; and he took of the stones of that place, and put them for his pillows, and lay down in that place to sleep.
- Genesis 28:12 And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and […]

The Fraudhead
THE PROBLEMS:
The “counsel of peace” was between them both, which refers to the Father and His Son, as it reads in Zechariah 6:13 (see also Patriarchs and Prophets 34.1, and The Great Controversy 493.1). The enemy, satan, wanted to be “like the Most High” (Isaiah 14:14). He wanted to be as the “Son of God” who had been involved in the plans of the creation of man (see Hebrews 1:1-2, and Ephesians 3:9).
The enemy, as a created son of God, was not allowed into the counsel of peace between the Father […]

Two Pastors (one non-trinitarian) Answer questions About the Holy Spirit
Pastor Daniel Mesa (a non-trinitarian) and Pastor Kenneth Jørgensen (a trinitarian) were asked a couple dozen questions about the Holy Spirit by Light Channel Ministry. Learn with us in the video posted below to understand more about the ways some pastors answer a few of the harder questions regarding this life-changing subject.
(Audio cuts out periodically in the video for Pastor Mesa due to a slower internet speed, so please ask questions if you have need for clarification.)
Saturday or Sunday – Does it Matter?
With God the Father as Creator through His Son, look at the first gift of time God gave to man.
Saturday, seventh day of the week; different theories explain name, including that it comes from the Latin Saturni dies, or day of the god Saturn, and that it was named Saturn’s-day by Babylonians after Saturn, one of the 5 planetary bodies known to them; Jewish Sabbath, or holy day; (Compton’s Interactive Encyclopedia).
Friday, sixth day of the week; name derived from Frigg’s-day; Frigg (or Freya), the wife of the god […]
Song Lyrics for Your Creativity
Would you be interested to put these lyrics to music? I was asked if I could, but I thought it best to extend the invitation!
Oh what Love, Oh Love Divine
The Father gave His Son to die
To die for you and I, and give us life!
A life of joy, of joy sublime
To live and live throughout all time
Because the Son of God is yours and mine.
Oh thank you Lord, you died for me
Please take my heart, for Yours I want to be
You left Your Father’s throne above
Came to share Your life of love
You loved and died,
The death of mine own guilt
To offer me a life of mansions built.
Oh! Indeed what Love Divine,
The Son of God is yours and mine.
God gave His only begotten Son
Gifted whole Heaven, through the One
Oh what Love, Oh Love Divine
For you and I to live throughout all time
Because the Son of […]
Ojos de Jehová
Apocalipsis 10:14 él también beberá del vino de la ira de Dios, que ha sido vaciado puro en el cáliz de su ira; y será atormentado con fuego y azufre delante de los santos ángeles y del Cordero;
Génesis 6:8 Pero Noé halló gracia ante los ojos de Jehová.
- “Deben tener su gracia, el Espíritu de Cristo, para que les ayude en sus flaquezas; de otra manera no podrían resistir al mal.” {CC 52.2}

Everyone is Shocked!
I showed all the studies to all my church members and they are studying out your notes. Everyone is shocked [and] they promised not to mention it to the pastor yet. I don’t want him to know yet, [as] I thought it best to let everyone study it out on their own first. Be in prayer…!
What an Eye Opener! – With Robin Morgan
Hi Daniel.
Angel Message a Life Changer – Lisa N
A woman stared at me while at an airport. I looked at her, nodded, smiled a bit, and turned away. She came up to me and asked, “Is your name Daniel Mesa?“ We talked for a good 30 minutes or so and I then shared some of the messages with her that I had just posted up on line (YouTube.com/RevelationWithDaniel). Following, is her response:
“I still want to tell you what God communicated to me for the first time in all my years of being a sda when I watched the angel video 1 the first time I was watching it.
God spoke to me in almost a divine revelation and it […]
Christ on Earth and the Sanctuary
Christ was Inaugurated:
Acts 10:37 That word, I say, ye know, which was published throughout all Judaea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;
Acts 10:38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.
“I felt most intensely upon some points, especially the inauguration of Christ, on the banks of Jordan, to His appointed work. The dedication of […]
Allos in the New Testament
160 times in 141 verses the word “allos” is used in the Greek New Testament. BUT, because most don’t speak Greek, we’ll use the English translations. =)
Why? Because we are at the Passover time. This is what Christ was speaking of 2,000 years ago…
The verse in question that uses the word allos is John 14:16, “I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever.” Believers in the one true God of the Bible (in light of John 17:3) believe […]
Does God Destroy?
INTRODUCTION
“God has given to men a declaration of His character and of His method of dealing with sin. “The Lord God, merciful and gracious, long-suffering and abundant in goodness and truth, keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty;” Exodus 34:6, 7. “All the wicked will He destroy.” “The transgressors shall be destroyed together: […]
Christ Formed Within, by Andrew White
Hello Again,
After finding that quote last night, “Those who do the words of Christ will perfect a Christian character, because Christ’s will is their will. Thus is Christ formed within, the hope of glory. { PH028 8.2 }” I did a search on “Christ formed within” which yielded 51 hits. Here are some of the highlights I found.
The hidden wisdom, which is Christ formed within, the hope of glory, is a wisdom high as heaven. ( The Review and Herald, July 18, 1899). { 6BC 1114.1 }
We want Christ formed within, the hope of glory. { GH December 1, 1899, par. 2 }

The Next Level of Non-trinitarianism
Holy Angels in the Plan of Redemption
Angels can be Holy (though not necessarily)
Matthew 25:31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
Mark 8:38 Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.
Luke 9:26 For whosoever shall […]
Angels and the End Times Testimony, by Dani Doina
“Praise God for this powerful and inspired message! I can see why this is so important to understand for the end times… may none of us find ourselves hardening our hearts against all that the LORD wants to reveal to us through His ministering angels sent to His servants. God bless you and strengthen you Pr. Daniel, as you continue to obey His voice and give the messages entrusted to you. You are in our prayers.”
Pantheistic Idolatry, by Marie Alex
I watched this study last Sabbath and I have not been the same since. It is so eye-opening. I will restudy it again this weekend under a clearer eye and understanding. The first time sent had me in shock and ran me into my prayer closet for the full week. God revealed every word is true. Thank you!
As much as I love the Lord this study revealed I had an idol I had made up for myself, it also showed me I still believed in the third [being] of the Godhead without realizing it.I would recommend this study to anyone who is serious about their walk with the Lord.
I was so shocked I broke down in tears and ran into my closet. I had so many emotions running through me. I was in sackcloth and ashes for a full week repenting and pleading for […]
Testimony of the Angels, by Steve Porter
My name is Stephen (Steve) Porter. I believe in the seventh day Sabbath and I believe that the second advent of Christ is coming soon.
God sends His holy angels to minister to me. I have always known that, it just didn’t register in my head. I just thought the holy angels protected me from the unholy angels and that was about it. That’s one of their jobs. But there is so much more!
It has been about a year now that on just another evening of bible study that my good friend and his wife said they had something new to show me. It had to do with the trinity.
From an Unknown Area in Africa
In a part of Africa:
“I am fine but to be honest things are so bad here. There is insecurity, corruption, nepotism, favoritism and religious oppression going on here. A Muslim terrorist group called Boko Haram and Fulani herdsmen have been killing Christians indiscriminately. I have graduated from the university since 2012 without a job. To survive has been like hell on earth.“
Please pray for so many people like this…
