DAY 22: SHOULD SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS CALL OUT THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH FOR ALTERING GOD’S WORD? About that, here’s a great quote: “The Seventh Day Adventist Clear Word Bible is perhaps one of the most deceptive Bibles of recent times. For 150 years, Seventh-day Adventists have called the Roman Catholic Church ‘the beast’ for allegedly omitting two verses of the law against images. Yet [SDA] has now made hundreds of revisions in their Bible.” It’s true that Catholic leadership hacked the second of God’s Ten Commandments out of the Bible—because it commands that we are not to make idols. Why would they do that? Well, they push idol worship with sales of saint and Mary figurines–from which they rake in massive amounts of their followers’ money. Then, as part of the leadership’s whole rigamarole, those same followers are told to bow down to, pray to, and even worship the figurines. But here’s the problem they created for themselves: Taking out that second commandment left only nine, so—one lie leading to another—Catholic leadership had to change God’s Word again by splitting God’s tenth commandment into two, getting them back to a full ten. While I agree with SDA that it is wrong for Catholicism to do that, the SDA organization has made hundreds of their own textual changes, insertions, and deletions to God’s Word. In the US South they have two words for the type of person who speaks against a wrong that they themselves are also committing: He or she is said to be a “Hypo-Crite.” SDA is being hypocritical.
