    Exposing the Skeleton in the SDA Closet of 1888

    1 Exposing the Skeleton in the S.D.A. Closet of 1888 Unsealing the Mystery of the 1888 General Conference Meetings in Minneapolis Part 1 By Norman Bradley his article may be difficult to understand if you were not raised a Seventh-day Adventist; however, it is full of very important information. There has always been T a mystery as to what really happened at the 1888 Minneapolis General Conference meeting that created such an upheaval to the Seventh-day Adventist church. Many books and articles have been written about it over the past 120 years. This article has a lot of negative things to be charged against past leaders of our church. A few guilty names will be exposed. More recent leaders have perpetuated this wrong teaching unknowingly. Unless they have researched the Archives, and the 1888 Materials by Ellen White, and the original Jones‘ and Waggoner‘s writings, [not just the censored ones], they might not otherwise know what this article reveals. 1 2 I‘m sure most Seventh-day Adventist leaders today are honest God-fearing men and if they stay true to their calling, then they will help to correct this erroneous teaching that still prevails in our church today. This wrong teaching that started long before 1888, but certainly erupted at that time, is very likely keeping the Latter Rain from falling on God‘s people today. It can and will be corrected, God will make sure of that. And the Devil will make war against it, as he always does when truth is brought to the light.

    Seventh-Day Adventism, Doctrinal Statements, and Unity

Campbell Adventist International Institute of Advanced Studies Cavite, Philippines 1. Introduction “All Christians engage in confessional synthesis,” wrote theologian Carl R. Trueman.1 Some religious groups adhere to a public confession of faith as subject to public scrutiny whereas others are immune to such scrutiny. Early Seventh-day Adventists, with strong ties to the Christian Connexion, feared lest the creation of a statement of beliefs so that some at some point may disagree with that statement may at some point be excluded.2 Another danger was that statements of belief might be used to present making new discoveries from Scripture, or afterward a new truth might be stifled by appealing to the authority of an already established creed. From the perspective of early Sabbatarian Adventists, some remembered the time when during the Millerite revival that statements of belief were used to exclude them from church fellowship.3 These fears were aptly expressed during the earliest organizational developments in 1861 of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. According to denominational co-founder, James White: “making a creed is setting the stakes, and barring up the way to all future advancement. The Bible is 1 Carl R.

    Appendix Uriah Smith and the King of the North in Dan 11:36-39 and 40-45

    Hardy Dan 11:36-39 Appendix Uriah Smith and the King of the North in Dan 11:36-39 and 40-45 In the Daniel file at the Biblical Research Institute (General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists) in Washington, DC is a paper by Raymond F. Cottrell entitled, "The Pioneers on Daniel Eleven and Armageddon." In that paper Cottrell discusses the development of Uriah Smith's views on Dan 11 against the backdrop of positions then current both within his own denomination (James White) and outside it (the popular Protestant commentators of his day). Smith in relation to exegetes outside his denomination It was Smith's purpose to show that the Seventh-day Adventist system of prophetic interpretation was largely based on positions shared by other religious bodies. Thus, it was not our positions but our synthesis of them, our perspective, that made the Seventh-day Adventist system of prophetic interpretation unique. His initial books on the subject, Thoughts on Revelation (first published 1865) and Thoughts on Daniel (first published 1873), were drawn from articles he had published as editor of the Review and Herald , which at this time was largely written for a non-Adventist readership. At first Smith held that the king of the North in Dan 11:40-45 was Rome. But then he espoused the popular view of his day that it was Turkey--the "sick man of the east." The religious press during the 1870s was filled with speculations about the demise of Turkey as a viable power in Europe and Smith was caught up in this line of thinking.
