I was raised a Catholic. I met my girlfriend (now wife) and she invited me to her church(SDA). Honestly I just went to hangout with her. No interest in listening to what was preached. But, I picked up on a few truths every time I would go to church with her. Eventually I listened and they were teaching the entirety of the Bible. Now I am a Seventh Day Adventist and I am proud to say it. Praise God. He surely works in mysterious ways. Sorry you guys went through that, but we must put our focus on Jesus. For he is the way, the truth and the life.

Gallen, while the Sabbath was established at creation and became one of the ten commandments to remember, the SDA church has a serious issue with its theism including its customs, doctrines, and traditions based upon Ellen G. White's interpretation of scripture. As Deuteronomy 13 and Deuteronomy 18 illustrate, a false prophet is not to be feared. There are Christians who aren't part of the SDAs and yet are gathering on the Sabbath day for fellowship.

But, if one truly puts their focus on Christ, wouldn’t they become 7th day Adventist? For in Adventist eschatology is it not taught that if one remains in a Sunday worship organization one will take the mark of the beast and become prosecutors of the real remnant a.k.a. seven day Adventists?

@@Tahquitz I know your comment was directed towards another, but I would like to chime in. There is a difference between being a Sabbath keeper and an SDA. The Sabbath keeper is memorializing the Creator as the cause of creation whereas an SDA is adhering to the customs, doctrines, and traditions of Ellen G. White whose theology is in conflict with scripture. If you compare the theology with scripture, you will find contradictions on the level of heresy. To be fair, Judaism is just as much of an issue since the Talmud effectively makes the Rabbinate the gods of Judaism with one specific part that claims God lost an argument with a Rabbi and therefore must do whatever the Rabbi says. Then there is the blatant false witness / blasphemy of the Holy Spirit claim falsely accusing Jesus as a sorcerer and violator of the Torah (it was really the traditions of the elders Jesus was contradicting and not the Torah itself) that is in hell boiling in His own excrement. According to the terms of Deuteronomy 19:16-21, every Jew who believes this claim will be just where and how they claim Jesus is. The only genuine faith is first repentance from your own sinful life and not just the sins you committed, second actively seeking to do the will of the Father in heaven (believing on His Son whom He sent), third walking as Jesus walked (reverence and obedience to His Father's instructions), fourth submitting to the conviction and leading of the Holy Spirit, and fifth loving your neighbor as well as the brethren as Christ loves you. There is no religious label for this, but rather this is what a true believer is about according to scripture.

I also grew up in the Adventist church, I have witnessed alot of questionable things happening, but my Old Dad reminded me, "you are here to hear the word of the Lord, keep your eyes him, man will let you down but God never will" 🙏

Thank you for sharing your experience with the Adventist Church. It is always disappointing when church members do not live up to our expectations. No church is perfect and if anyone ever finds one it will cease to be perfect as soon as you or I attend it. I guess we all must remember that churches are hospitals for sinners not hotels for saints so if we find dysfunctional people there regardless of their positions just expect it.

Raised a Catholic & active in that church, I have found the SDA Church after studying several doctrines because I was looking for a purely Bible-based teaching. But left it bec I was looking at the people & their flaws. Later on, I went back to the church bec I realized, Jesus' faith was tthe reason why I joined this church & not bec of the people. Just happy to find a church group now which I feel like a second family to us. I would never be somewhere else & praying & striving to be part of the remnant church whom Jesus will bring home with Him when He comes back.

The Title is unto the least of these. My family and I were going to Roman Catholic Church because we are born and raised in this church, but during the pandemic when I started reading the Bible, everythings has changed. My faith in God becomes stronger and His voice become clearer. He became more real to me. And we kept the Sabbath, and live a healthy lifestyle not knowing there is a group of Christians who have the same belief. After almost five months of being a Sabbathkeepers we decided to be baptized to Jesus. 😇 I met many people, different people in the church but I know many are new, we are in different levels of our faith, Still praying for this church. I always keep in my mind that I dont keep His commandments for the people in the church but for the God who is the author of my salvation, growing in Him everyday. praying that the people who discouraged you wont discourage you to follow Him no matter. For as Christians we are called to endure. God bless! I love you.

I’m so sorry that you all had that experience. Unfortunately very few SDA churches are teaching present truth. I’m a SDA and I’m in a present truth church. I pray you all will be led by the Holy Spirit to a church that shared and teaches present truth. I have learned so many truths that I didn’t know. Being a SDA was the best thing I’ve ever done.

They don’t need any improvement or addendums. How do you reconcile the “investigative judgment” with Acts 2:30-33 and Acts 13:39?

Jesus would have shut it down if certain things were welcomed in His Father's House. We see how angry Jesus got with something as simple as buying and selling. There is a certain respect that is supposed to be brought into His House. Many younger people push their own agenda through dressing provocatively or like the opposite sex. Most time they're not coming as they are in the spiritual since but to prove a point in which they expect to do what they want, how they want. I'm not talking tattoos, jewelry, or makeup... His house is Holy and Jude speaks of what foolishness not to allow in the churches. Sexual sin is different from all sin- THAT'S BIBLICAL! Otherwise, I agree with soooo much.

Addendum Story of a friend: I was born into the Adventist faith, at the age of 5 my parents left me with my grandparents who were not adventist, therefore the grounding that they tried to instill in us (myself and siblings) was somewhat thwarted. I joined my parents 3 years later and the strictness of the discipline laid down by my parents was very difficult to cope with. Within 4 years of joining my parents the rebellious side came out and even though I still enjoyed going to church, the elderly members tried to convince me that I had no place within the church. After a few months I found it unbearable to be in church. I preferred to be with friends who did not have the same upbringing that I had which was based on bible principles. Slowly and surely I began to act the way these friends acted. I ended up having a child at a very young age and then the church removed me from the membership list. This being said I still believed in the principles and desperately wanted to go back to church, but knew that the elders would reject me. I moved away from the church altogether. The behaviour of the friends were not making me feel comfortable but I was forced to stay out there, and I believe that was due to me not being able to challenge the elderly, because children are supposed to be seen and not heard. However, if we are to go by the bible when Jesus was 12 years old and out in the syangogue teaching the elders, as young people, why are we not even trying to bring about these changes, showing others where they are wrong and trying to instill the teachings of the bible. After spending an number of years in the world and looking at my life experience, I now know that no-one in the church is to be looked up to. My guidance should come from the teachings of the bible. We are all sinners and therefore we cannot look to another human being in order to follow God's word. If I go to church and a member is not living by the teaching, I cannot leave because that member is not following guidelines. I am responsible for my actions, on judgement day I have to answer for my doings, I cannot tell God that I left the "SDA" church because the elderly people did not give me a chance to be what I needed to be.

I am a SDA member and I agree with your assessment and thoughts. We have to worship God in both Spirit and in truth. I’ve come to realize that all churches have its problems because in each church there are people there. And people are naturally flawed. I had to learn this the hard way as well. But someone wise told me before from this experience that no matter where you are in life and no matter the church always choose to follow Jesus and who He is and not the church. From learning that it increased my experience and relationship with God. I can be in church at work or anywhere else and have my own personal experience and love from God. I will say it does help or it is nice to worship in an environment around like minded individuals but ultimately it comes down to your bond and relationship with Christ Jesus. Love you guys story and I hope you find a church home that will allow God’s Spirit to do as He sees fit and not what man wants to do. But in the meantime stay strong in God’s word and love.

I agree, to a degree. All people are flawed. But to LEAVE the SDA church all because you got bent out of shape over something or rather is not the way to go. Because truly if one leaves and lets say goes to a SUN-day church, they are NOT following our Saviour any longer in that lie.

Sabbath-keeping as a Primary Doctrine: White promoted the observance of Saturday as the Sabbath, which is contrary to the New Testament teaching that emphasizes the freedom in Christ and does not prescribe a specific day for worship (Romans 14:5). Denial of Eternal Hell: White's teaching that hell is not eternal contradicts biblical passages that describe it as a place of eternal punishment (Matthew 25:46, Mark 9:43, 2 Thessalonians 1:9). Scapegoat Doctrine: White taught that the sins of believers would be placed on Satan, which goes against the biblical understanding that Jesus bore our sins on the cross (1 Peter 2:24). Identification of Jesus as Michael the Archangel: White identified Jesus as Michael the archangel, which is inconsistent with the orthodox Christian belief in the unique nature of Jesus as fully divine and distinct from angels (Jude 1:9). Repudiation of Verbal Inspiration of the Bible: White's denial of the verbal inspiration of the Bible is contrary to the traditional Christian belief in the divine inspiration and authority of Scripture (2 Timothy 3:16, Psalm 12:6).

For all my years as an Adventist I've seen discouragement but that doesn't make me lose my focus on Jesus. I still attend the congregation I find myself around the world. Do not use one SDA congregation to judge all SDA congregations because of a small crucible you are passing through. If you leave SDA Church, well, it's a great choice but don't leave God. Just find your way to eternal life that Jesus presents to you.

They highly will be disappointed when probation closes generally for d church at d enforcement of d Sunday law. It has become a part of Babylon and of d image of d beast. The same call given to d Babylonian churches to come out of their corrupt churches, has come also upon those lurking still in d conference to come out of it before it is too late.

I have been away from the church for years struggling to find a way back to God, after having my daughter in July 2022 out of wedlock, my daughter also! named Ava, made me realize how much I wanted to change my life and be an example for her. God knew my struggles and he knew what was needed to lead me back to SDA. I'm currently struggling to break all of my bad habits such as wearing jewelry etc. so far my fellow church brothers and sisters have been kind and helpful to me and their treatment towards me has made me willing to do more in church with God help. I want to let you know that God will lead you to make the best decision but you have to be willing to listen and do as the holy spirit wants us to do. may God help and be with your family.

Your testimony is true, as Seventh Day Adventist, has become cold, we have forgotten to be our brothers keeper, I had that experience and however I am still there, because as I said it’s better being a thousand times in the atrious of God than being out. Satan in his last days is pushing us to move out, as we have to remember the sick people are in the church that’s why I go to the doctor because we are sick. Let’s persevere until the end with Gods help. Praying for one another. God bless us…❤❤

As children my siblings and I had two religions.. as we got older we decided to stay with the SDA faith... we attended with our grand mother. Our mother was eventually converted. One thing I‘ve learned is that the SDA teachings are forever with us regardless to where we go or change our faith. You may be surprised at how many other religions incorporate the teachings in their sermons.. Also the read and study all the Ellen G. White books.. as adults we learn that there is one God and it really should come down to our personal relationship with him... not a religion or the people in it...

This is 💯! We have the same testimony. We've been members of an SDA church for over 10 years. We transferred our membership to another conference because of the same exact things. As a Seventh-day Adventist, I noticed that we preach heavy on the evils that happen in Catholicism and other houses of worship. For some reason, we can not preach on the evils that happen in our own house. When the bible clearly says that judgment begins in the house of God. Keep your focused on Christ! It just sounds like he's moving you to greener pastures. Since we left, God has opened new doors that we could not imagine. We led out in bible studies every Friday night with young college adults, and because of it, we baptized a young lady. You see, the laymen are to finish the work! We'll keep you in our prayers! ❤️

Being an Adventist myself, what I can say is that, No one will let me leave church. If God told you to leave, then I can say God is leading. But I don't recall you guys mentioned God was apart of the decision. It doesn't matter which church you go to, you will never find perfection. I agree, you have to go where God is present, but he has to be the one who is leading that. Also, it wasn't clear if you guys left the Adventist faith or what, so this is just an unfinished video that I wish was a bit more clearer. A bit confusing, especially when you said, "we would go to a different faith, as long as God is there". I wish there was more clarity. Additionally, I wish you guys all the best in your decision making, and hope that you will put God first in whatever you do.

The reason for all the troubles in the Seventh-day Adventist church is that it is known as the remnant church. It has the full doctrines with observing and keeping all the commandments of [Gracious Great] God, including the fourth commandment, that has been ignored by many religious leaders who consider themselves Christians and act pious. By this, the enemies which are Satan and his angels, despise the people who choose to keep all the commandments of the Lord and do their evil work in that church more desperately than in all other churches and synagogues. The enemies are trying with their means to discourage and destroy [Gracious Great] God's people as His cherishable children. The people who choose to follow the ways of the enemy are not given tribulations as much as are the real Christians receiving them. Instead of concentrating on [imperfect] people who need a Savior, we need to concentrate and focus our minds on the perfect and holy Gracious Great God, who is able, willing and ready to help us at anywhere and anytime of the day or night.

I'm so sorry that this has been your experience, I've had similar experiences, but brethren we have to keep our eyes focused on God. I returned to church when I was 24 and was baptized at 25, there were many breaking points where I felt like I wanted to leave but I prayed for strength and courage. Yes, people in the SDA church are not nice, I've seen hypocrisy, favoritism, nepotism etc but we have to pray and ask God for the patience and the courage to remain faithful to Him. Noone is perfect and God is working on each and everyone of us in various degrees and perhaps some who are in the church have not surrendered fully to Him, but who am I to judge because I am a sinner myself. I say all this to say, the church is made up of imperfect people but don't allow them nor the situations that happened in church become the breaking point for you to leave. Praying for you and your family. 🤗

I had the same experiences with the SDA church that I went to lol. No accountability, gossiping, condemnation, judging, dictating how it's supposed to be, and EVERYTHING has to be according to the church manual and the tension that came up when persons had questions about faith and the Holy Spirit was very off putting to me. The physical attributes are good but when you're searching to grow with God and really know Him, it becomes very obvious that SDA culture is very resistant to the Holy Spirit. What sealed the deal for me was when God freed me from a legalistic mindset during the pandemic/lock down as I started seeking Him with my whole heart and immediately it was like a Pharisee situation. Within minutes I was no longer the loveable Christian (people pleaser) and now I'm a crazy, rebelling heretic who is on her way to hell and they need to fix me because the isolation of the pandemic made me lose my faith. It got weird and I prayed about leaving for a very very long time because I didn't want to leave the assembly but I didn't want to be in a place where God isn't allowed to be and where I'm not allowed to be who God has called me to be.

I am glad you are remaining in the SDA faith and that you are seeking another SDA church location. More SDA church goers need to be as brave as you two.

Blessing beautiful family! All your point were well received. I was born in SDA faith and backslided during college and my early 20’s. However, I got pregnant and decided to take my son to sabbath school. I’ve been back to church now for 16 years and let me tell you it’s been challenging. I’ve been ‘burned’ actually just recently and it’s been hard to continue to attend church weekly. BUT GOD! I understand removing yourself from an unrighteousness setting if that’s what you experienced. So what I heard was you dismembered yourselves from that particular SDA church but not from God’s presence. I pray that you all find that resting place with the Lord’s presence during worship. I totally understand and everyone respond to situations differently. Once God is in it, he will guide your path. Much blessings to your family🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽. Special Blessings to beautiful Ava!

Hope you both find peace on your journey to finding God or finding a church. The Adventist church has thousands of congregations all over the world, and over 21 million members. Going to 1 or even 3 churches and experiencing how they do things there does not define the church. These congregations are made up of individuals from various cultures and communities. Hence naturally, the traits of the community will be rubbed off on the church. I've been an Adventist all my life. Lived in 5 different countries. All the churches I've been to were flawed because we are dealing with flawed members. Yet, I will never leave the church for the world or for another church. Won't allow any flawed man to cause me to mess up my relationship with God. I'm not sure why so many people are taking the time to make these "Why I Left The Church" videos. Please don't get carried away by the social media hype. While you might see it as just a video, there are some persons who will come across it who will become confused and not give the church, and even worst, God a fair chance. Don't do that. Focus on your relationship with God, the rest will work out itself. Peace, blessings and love as you search to find your place in this world.

IT IS WHAT THEY, AND US, CAN DO FOR THE LORD...NOT WHAT MEN CAN DO FOR THEIR COMFORT. HUMBLE YOURSELF IN THE EYES OF THE LORD..DON'T JUDGE OTHERS. I am 100% positive a good Pastor wouldn't abandon his flock. It makes me WONDER WHAT these individuals DID THEMSELVES they aren't mentioning in this video, that led an entire church body to abandon them? I personally DON'T believe a word they're saying. It's just a gigantic whine to me, and anybody jumping up and supporting by clapping along needs to re-evaluate themselves, and their religion. The SDA church isn't sitting with them in debate to defend themselves. WE SHOULDN'T BEAR FALSE WITNESS ...READ THE 10 COMMANDMENTS AGAIN..UNTIL YOU LEARN THEM. I CAN SEE CLEARLY A NUMBER OF THEM YOU'VE BROKEN IN THIS VIDEO..and the claims that they are not JUDGING makes me ILL to listen to! WHY GO ONLINE TO SAY SUCH THINGS THEN? TO MISLEAD PEOPLE INTO THINKING THE SDA CHURCH IS TERRIBLE NO DOUBT!..just to get your VENGEANCE. IF these individuals had an opinion, and were as devout as they say they were to the SDA church, I don't think an entire church body would have started to treat them unkindly..or give zero guidance to them, and ditch them in their time of doubt. I think more likely, their self centered approach was well executed in their old congregation as well as here online, and the people saw the work of the Devil!...and didn't want the association as deeply anymore. ALL OF THIS I AM TYPING IS ONLY *MY OPINION, but IN BEING TRANSPARENT, these individuals should be able to take other Christian's viewpoints, and the entire world's criticism IF they want to put their opinions out in the open...instead of in the privacy of that closet...or to God directly. If these people did this video, then went to church service afterwards TO THE CHURCH THEY WERE GOING TO LEAVE...maybe I could understand they had serious issues that were hurting them and needed to be attended to, and counselled..but THEY DESERTED their church, and put this video up AFTER THEY'D LEFT to HIDE behind a screen. Did JESUS HIDE when the soldiers found him in the garden come to arrest Him? IF the Lord had been a coward...WE'D ALL BURN IN HELL! We weren't given our voices to condemn...and Jesus' teachings say CONDEMN NOT, AND YOU SHALL NOT BE CONDEMNED!! JUDGE NOT, AND YOU WILL NOT BE JUDGED. MOST PEOPLE are terrified their youtube account will be shut down for giving true comments, or an honest opinion. I SAY *TESTIFY for your brothers and sisters, and AID THEM when they WANDER! I'd be disgraced in the eyes of my Saviour if I said nothing knowing the truth. I'd absolutely hate to be standing in front of the Lord later after I'd done a video like this! I wonder if Jesus is going to tell them in the end..it wasn't others BURNING THEM...BUT THEMSELVES. If a person feels somebody has done them WRONG..they should LOVE THEIR ENEMIES, and ask the Lord to give all people what they deserve WITHOUT MALICE. We should PRAY for those who harm us..as they have NO LOVE, and nobody can enter the Kingdom of God without LOVE.THE BIBLE SAYS TO *LOVE AND FORGIVE. When you treat your enemies correctly, God's vengeance will be heaping hot coals on their foreheads..not us putting up videos to denounce an entire Christian church, a entire body of people, or the SDA religion! THAT'S HOW WARS BEGIN!! VENGEANCE IS THE LORD'S! Father in Heaven, remind us every day WE MUST FORGIVE AND LOVE OUR ENEMIES AS YOU WOULD HAVE DONE AND TAUGHT US TO. LET US SEE AND UNDERSTAND IT IS *YOUR WORDS AND *YOUR JUDGEMENT THAT MATTERS FIRST, AND MOST. Amen!!

I couldn't help myself but to watch this video as well. I tell you, you are such a beautiful family, with such a huge responsibility over your little Eva. In my 12y in the SDA church I've seen so many people come and go, usually those who do go is because their focus on the cross got blurred and the sin/fault of the people around them brightens. EGW says that 1 person (Christian Service book), 1 person is enough to revive an entire church. It's always better to stick to your big family, always the wiser choice to do, believe me. Be the difference that this church and these people urge so much. God bless you!

She says that people have neglected the Bible, the mission of which is to point people to Christ, and God has sent a lesser light to lead men and women to the greater light, which should be Christ.

I see your concerns and understand how you feel. I used to go to an Adventist church and the legalities and unfriendliness of members left me feeling sad. I became an Adventist because of God’s leading. My relationships with God led me to leave that specific congregation but not the SDA church. I am sure that wherever we go there are people who wants to dictate what and who we do. Also there are those who are control freaks. However remember the reason you came to the SDA church, your reason to come will determine whether you leave or stay. Just remember that Jesus went to the synagogue with the scribes and Pharisees, Jesus Himself called them hypocrites, but he still went to church because there were those who wanted what Christ have to offer. Let the wheat and tears grow until the day of harvest. Friends there are beautiful SDA congregation everywhere. Christ grew up going to the synagogue on the sabbath, it was His custom and He did it as example to us so he continued going though they were hypocrites. May you find a congregation that you are comfortable in but just remember there are no perfect congregation. Blessings.

I'm a born SDA! I love my church. My pastor told everyone to be careful in how you treat people because YOU could be the reason they no longer go to church or believe in God anymore, and you can have a big impact on their salvation. Love thy neighbor.

Honestly I am also SDA and I believe in the 7th day sabbath and all the Bible truths and prophecies. I don't think you guys should necessarily leave the SDA church but I feel like yo should possibly consider attending a new congregation. this journey that we are walking on this earth was nothing made to be easy that doesn't me we simply just run away or give up, but though Jesus and through perseverance we should use negative situations as a test of Faith. Be encouraged and allow the spirit to lead you.

I am so sorry that your experience was such that it led to you leaving the SDA church. Jesus had it pretty rough too, he was rejected and despised. There are few people who really love Jesus with all their heart and are following Him. No matter what church you attend, you will have similar problems. It's the beliefs that matter. Stay strong and keep your eyes on Jesus.

The SDA doctrine is based on the direct commandments of God. Simple. You dont get baptised to SDA bcos of its elder/pastor or bcoz the program is sort or longer. I am an SDA bcoz there is one God,one faith,one truth. I think you are denying the truth & based your decision frankly on feelings. You mentioned that you still believe SDA doctrines in that case you could have changed membership to anither local church. I pray that you find the truth you are looking for. God bless

I am also a Seventhday Adventist. I have been away from the CHURCH for number of years. Now have returned. I feel that GOD dwells in all of us in defferent ways. The message is still the same, we have to be grounded in our SPIRIT to overcome the our difference. I have gone to other Churches over the the years.. but , felt empty. I know that it is difficult to you now. I pray that you will find GOD within yourself. But keep praying.

Praise the Lord Family🙌🏽😇 and thank you for sharing your heartfelt concerns with us. God has a plan for both of you as you lead guide the precious little one. But hold on and don’t give up. I see a ministry that is being assigned to you and the deceiver is distracting you from fulfilling God’s will and purpose. Stay in prayer, keep the Faith and trust God through the process. Don’t walk away…step aside and allow God to use you in spirit and truth😇 God Bless

Your points are valid, and I have no doubt that God will continue to lead you. Thank you for sharing your experience and conviction. Praying God’s blessings over you.

I’m a young SDA and our church is filled with young people, I also visit several SDA congregations. My experience as a SDA is different from yours, yes there are a few judgemental SDAs but there is a lot of loving ones too. There sure will be disappointments along the way but I learn to look to God for guidance in everything and he has kept me in his ways. I believe that a lot of people turn away from the church, not because there are errors in the beliefs, but simply because the truth in not being teach in love, and that’s the problem. I’m sorry for your experience and hope you find a spirit filled and loving congregation. God bless you

I am so sorry to hear about your situation but my dear brother and sister your situation is not unique it happens all the time to millions of other SDA's it happened to me but two things kept me and is still keeping me , firstly Christ died for me personally and secondly there is a quote found in the book Testimonies to Ministers pages 45 and 49 which speaks directly to the state of the church. No matter what is going on in this remnant church God is still in charge Selected messages 2: page 390 I pray that you both will surrender to the leading of the Holy Spirit so that you will not put yourselves on the arch deceiver's ground , prayerfully ask God to help you to put self aside and seek His will because if you have been studying the prophecies you will know that the SDA Church is God's last day church , no other church can truthfully make this claim. Please my dear brother and sister do not stay out too long, hurry and find your way back in for " as defective and enfeebled and in need of reproof the church may seem it is the one entity upon earth upon which God bestows His Supreme regard

Why We Left Our Applebee’s: People at Applebee’s were making it all about them. They wanted customers but were not really feeding the customers. We attended this Applebee’s for 10 years & we are just fed up with the lack of outreach. It was as if this particular Applebee’s was only catering to a certain audience. They preached family & unity, but never reached out to us during our most vital & important moments. This among other reasons, is why we no longer attend Applebee’s. I am only on the outside looking in, but it appears to me, from many videos like this, that SDA churches where islanders are leading, there are extreme points of views w/ no filters, that turn people away. Trust me, I get it! Like Applebee’s, don’t give up on ALL Applebee’s because of your many bad experiences at one location, go to another location who’s provides the warm, welcoming atmosphere you seek. But that is not what this video & many like it promote; the lesson presented here is, if you have bad experiences at an SDA church, leave the SDA faith all-together; although you didn’t say this specifically, this is the message presented. Consider this, If others are inspired to follow your footsteps, & in judgement, if you are wrong, you will hold some responsibility in leading others away. Is this what you want? In this video, the wife stated “even if Jesus is at another denomination, I want to be there”. That seems fair, because Jesus is all about “LOVE”. John 14:15, if you love me, keep my commandments. 1 John 5:3, for this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. This includes keeping God’s 7th-Day Sabbath. Why? Because we love Jesus. If this couple follows the path of other videos like this, they will soon find the “Jesus” they seek in a denomination that “full well, rejects the commandments of God, that they may keep their own tradition” Mark 7:9; that tradition namely being Sunday worship. I get it, many Sunday worshipping churches are super family, super warming, super welcoming, super open-fellowship, & super ministry supportive in youth outreach etc; I get it. Yet such will be the case when they “will say unto me, Lord, didn’t we prophesy in thy name, and in your name cast out devils & in your name done many marvelous works. And Jesus will profess to them, depart from me, I never knew you”. Matt. 7:22-23 Jesus didn’t know them, so the key is to make sure Jesus knows us & we know him, right? How do we do this? By this we can be SURE that we know him, if we keep His commandments, 1 John 2:3. And it’s NOT about legalism, it’s about “LOVE”. What is your love language? Touch?, Words?, Acts of Service?, Quality Time?, Gifts? Understanding this helps your relationship grow & be healthy. What is Jesus love language? It is simple, Jesus told you plain & clear. Jesus said “if you love me, keep my commandments” John 14:15 Then Jesus later says “he that loveth me not, keeps not my sayings” John 14:24 Want to focus on your relationship with Jesus? Do what he says! And don’t get swept away by the overwhelming warm love of commandment-breaking denominations. I love you. Jesus loves you. I’m praying for all 3 of you; Dad, Mom & Child.

Your comment is printed like that coming from a loving mother, that is a mommy. I became a Seventh-day Adventist when I was 16 years ago. Like this family, I underwent tribulations in that church as a youngster. I was not even close to my natural folks, and that attracted me to be with Gracious Great God's most cherishable children, His family. Growing up was quite arduous. There were times when I did not attend church for several months from time to time. However, After I was baptized in June 1969, an "uncle" advised me something that I forgot that is, "Once you accept the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, not everyone is going to like you. And if you decide to follow Jesus Christ all the way, not everyone in church is going to be your friend." Uncle Rouse was right. Today, I can admit that church members, including the pastor, are just people who are imperfect, just like me. However, I am not better than anyone, including you, whom I have not yet met, but you are no less than me. If I met you, I would look up to you the same way I looked up to older people. I love the way you emphasized that [sweet] Jesus Christ emphasized the importance of love to Gracious Great God and love to one another. Since the 1980s, I continued to attend church steadily. Not only I have returned to the temple weekly, I strive to support the church in several ways. I would rather seek to please Gracious Great God, rather than people. He is perfect and knows what is best for me and you, and people are imperfect and even the best of us can go wrong. This week of July 3, 2022, the Sabbath School lesson is about "In the Crucible With Christ." It is about trials and trouble that Gracious Great God's cherishable children, as Christians, will undergo. We live in a world that is sin-ridden everywhere there are people. These problems will last, either if everyone repents of their sins and return to obey Gracious Great God, or continue in their ways by keeping their own sins, until Jesus Christ returns to this earth again. I must mention that you are a very bright lady. Also, I prayed for these loving ones, that is, this family, and I want to include you in mine.

The first day worshippers can possess the traits and characteristics of some Seventh-day Adventists, but how long can a good thing last? As in human nature, people will be nice to you in the beginning they get acquainted with you. Afterwards, they treat you differently from good, and before you know it, "the free ride is over." As long as they do not have the love of sweet Jesus Christ in their hearts, they can take you for granted and use you for selfish purposes. This is human nature, let alone the nature of the beast.

Thank you for sharing your story. I am a SDA in Auburn, Maine. We have a lot of young people in our small church. We dress as we please, jeans or dress. Our problem is a couple of youths tried to control what our pastor did. That was a major problem with our congregation. However, we recently got a new pastor from somewhere near Ukrane. He did not put up with that. His setting them straight, resolved the issue. As far as those who serve the church and if you become ill, the church speaks of it, but no one visits you. Anyway, is any church perfect? Keep you good hearts close to God, and he will lead you where you should be. Curious, where do you worship now? Much love in Christ, Felicia

I empathize with your situation. I'm sorry you guys experienced this. Maybe a smaller congregation will meet your needs or even a prayer cell with other families at someone's home.

People in a hospital don't stay in the hospital sick forever. They either get well or die. It's time for the church to judge itself so that it is not judged with the world. Judgment does begin in the house of God. I am SDA and ONLY came back to the church under the direction of the Holy Spirit after leaving for almost 30 years. Sad to say, nothing much has changed since I left at the age of 15. They are still very legalistic, most seek the applause/praise of men and that's why the denomination as a whole, places more emphasis on one's actions than the condition of the heart. Precisely what the Pharisees of Jesus' time did. Jesus came to transform us from the inside, not just get us to conform to outer practices. When we change from the inside by renewing our minds with God's Word under the direction of the Holy Spirit, our wrong behaviors will eventually change, but no matter how much you try and "clean up" yourself from the outside, you will never be good on the inside. Each of us needs to learn to hear the voice of God for ourselves and develop a deeper, more intimate relationship with Jesus daily and let Him lead us. Too many of our leaders think they have a monopoly on the voice of God.

We don't just leave the church but the body of Christ Jesus is our perfect example did Jesus leave his disciples because of Judus he new Judus would betray but called him friend and he was still apart of the church he didn't leave how Jesus said if u love me keep my Commandments.

I emphasized with you both for your experience and I thank God for owning your truth. I’m from Nigeria and also an Adventist. A lot of us here had this experience at a time in our lives and we did come together to start a fellowship where we allow the Holy Spirit to have free expression and still holding the sabbath truth. We still have a lot of SDA churches/fellowship where the love of God still constraints them it’s pity you went to a wrong one. Please stay in the truth and your truth while you look for another sabbath fellowship to join. You can also worship with us at victory sanctuary SDA church online. I’m sure you will be glad you do. Shalom

My heart goes out to you and so many other brothers and sisters who have/had to cut ties with your local church. There is a great controversy at work and when Jesus Christ isnt lifted up in hearts and lives then it will come to nothing. We know ultimately that God wins. I, as many others have experienced legalism( the epitome of the carnal spirit) from a young age. As the Lord drew me it became clear to me what was happening. As a born again Christian, SDA, I see how long suffering and gracious God is with his children. The church is a place for sinners to come to know and see Jesus Christ as their only hope of salvation, sadly, it isn’t there and are told it will appear to fall but, God has a remnant, a people. Your light comes through even in this difficult situation and praise God for you. Praying God leads you in finding that “safe place” very soon. much appreciation for your understanding. 🤗🙏🏼❤️

If a church /community of believers doesnt display that then why not find one that does? I think its something that the individual after prayer should decide with the leading of the Holy Spirit, and perhaps, now that Im thinking n writing this, what believers truly need is an individual/spiritual revival/regeneration, to be filled with the Holy Spirit, NOT to leave the church or look for a new community of faith/believers n instead go where the Spirit leads them. We need to pray more.

Hello Adriel, my Handsworth Church nephew, Keva and gorgeous Ava 👋🏾 Firstly, I wish to say how wonderful it is to see you Adriel all grown up and with a family ❤ WOW! God certainly is GREAT! Secondly I must commend you both on your honesty and courage, this would not have been an easy decision for you to make. Voicing our experiences concerning our churches is very important darling because without it, things cannot be addressed and improvements cannot be made. I noticed that this video is mostly about a particular SDA church and wonder whether your decision to leave the denomination has also been influenced by experiences outside of this particular church? I do, however fully appreciate your comments regarding man made traditions v what Jesus said and did. This has been a topic which has been up for discussion time and time again, mostly raised by our youth. It is very disappointing that you have had such an experience in this church in spite of your attempts to address problems with the leadership. I understand why you eventually left. There are others who are in similar positions who would appreciate the content of your video. I will pray that God will lead you to where he needs you to be, to do what he plans for you to do. I pray for his protection and provisions. I pray for peace and Joy, wisdom and understanding, direction and leadership, comfort and love, all the days of your lives. Hold on to him from whom all blessings flow, he WILL instruct you 🙏🏾 Sending my hugs 🫂

Love you guys and you seem very genuine in your faith. I encourage you to find or make a small Bible study group. As an SDA in New Zealand in a small town I am looking for this now myself. But I hope you will find whatever fits with God and your family. Matthew 18v20 : 20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. Hang in there guys, we are very near the end of days 🙏❤️

I am a SDA, I am inspired of my line of What can I do to help us grow rather than expecting what can the church community do for me.

Go to Church to share your "best influence to edify one another" or ask the Holy Spirit to step up His role on those you consider as weaker/non edifying in the church for their growth instead of absconding and speaking from the fence. Be the best change you want and let the Holy one take charge of His Remnant Church! Only our sanctified characters will go to Heaven!

Hi Adriel and Kevah, as a pastor on behalf of that SDA congregation I want to apologize for failing you, not being a gracious place in which your family could live and grow in Christ. It is inspiring to see a loving and real Christian family walking the path as narrow as it may be. I'll say a prayer that God leads you to a strong community of faith. Question: are you saying that you are indefinitely leaving the SDA community as a believing community or just that local congregation? I wasn't quite clear on that since Adriel you clarified that SDA fundamental beliefs continue to be what you believe.

Pastor as someone reading your message from across the world I would like to thank you for your love and your humble heart. For not being defensive but rather compassionate. I too have suffered the same things that have been described in this video & have exhausted every effort to be heard without success. There’s nothing more painful than loving the church you love be also the source of your pain. And all people can say is there’s nothing we can do just be strong and focus on Jesus. Church was never meant to be a battle ground where you hope you come back in one piece after every sabbath. I really urge the leadership of the church from the bottom of my heart to look at this as a serious concern. After many years of also trying hard I eventually left the church for peace of mind amongst many other things. And each time I try to go back I am immediately reminded why I left. Now I keep the sabbath from home which is not biblical cause there needs to be a gathering together of the saints. But if there is a prevailing spirit that is infiltrating God’s church should we all just be silent? I appreciate those whom have not been tested to a point of breaking. But urge them not to imagine that as a sign of them being stronger that others. It’s only the grace of God is you have not been attacked to a point of being pushed out

It is good to be led by the Holy Spirit and not do things in the flesh.

May the Lord lead you and guide you to wherever you go and do. Happy Sabbath And many blessings to you and your family

Yes yes yes! I had to come out years ago. I'm so glad you read your Bible for yourself and allowed the Holy Spirit to transform your hearts. I read God Chasers years ago when I was about your age and it gave me a different perspective of running after God.

I can understand completely. I was reared as SDA. We are following a lot of man made traditions and beliefs. We are made to be judgemental and feel shame. The church most definitely has its flaws. We must be led by the Holy Spirit. Unfortunately, all churches are have their share of problems. You definitely have to do what the Holy Spirit leads you to do. Thank you for sharing your story. I observe the Sabbath and serve God, not man. I thought I was the only one feeling this way.May God be bless your beautiful family.

If you are looking to humans you'll certainly want to leave.But if you look to Jesus..you'll have peace in the storm.look to Jesus leave people alone.. everyone needs God's grace

Well said !

Happy Sabbath to the family. I was led to your video today and funny thing is a few weeks back I saw another clip of a family who has left the church but forgot who it was and never got to see it, and this morniing at 3:30 I find myself up and asking God what He wanted to show me and finally He led me to this video. There are several things you said that I want to highlight, just highlighting, 1. I want to be where God is, powerful statement, and the only one that matters. (If that wasn't your exact words, sorry, but what I am trying to say is that on a whole, if it doesn't come from God, if it is not like God, than I want no part of it. I feel t he exact same way, I want to please Him. Second thing was personal relationship, remain there. John 16 vs 13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. He is the only one who can lead you into all truth. I was called to begin PRL Ministry which is Pray, Read and Listen, or pray consistently, read the word, bible only ministry, and listen to God's voice daily and at all times. I have seen Him change things in my life and the example will help others. So be blessed, reach out under the Ministry if you would like. Last but not least, thanks for sharing. I have not left the church because I feel God was me to be there to bring others to Him, but we still need to share the truth, so if you wish to talk about ways we can connect to build a larger Ministry let me know so others can find Him.

Hello Beautiful couple! Please don't hold back. If the Lord places on your heart to share more, please do so. You never know who needs it. I was an SDA for 9 years. I was faithful, but I had to go. Blessings! ❤️

Sometimes what annoys us about others is a reflection of ourselves. Church after all is a hospital for sinners. There are churches that are worst, but miracles happen when the faithful few pray and fast for the lord's presence. If we focus on people, we will definitely leave . Let us pray for God to change our hearts and open our minds to see things as He sees. And there are definitely SDA churches that are soo Christlike, and that's how I was first introduced to Jesus. It was through church members . Blessing to you ❤️. Keep seeking the Lord .

No doubt there are some churches that are Christlike, but they are very few. However, time has come when we must be noble Bereans who studied the Scriptures. Sadly, the nominal Seventh-day Adventist church has been infiltrated by the enemy who brought in false pagan doctrines, especially the trinity doctrine which completely destroys the Father and Son relationship. Jesus said, "... this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent." (John 17:3) And apostle Paul said, "But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him." (1 Corinthians 8:6) So time has come to be separate and be on the Lord's side.

So, according to Paul, what is the Holy Spirit? It is the Spirit of His Son, and not a mysterious separate being. Nowhere do I find in Scripture three divine beings, but two. Regarding the Holy Spirit, the Scriptures clearly tell me that the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God and the Spirit of His Son. However, if you can find a single scripture in the Bible that proves me wrong, showing that the Holy Spirit is a divine being, as the Father and the Son are, I would certainly accept it. But if not, will you accept the truth? Apostle John said, quote, "... He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son." (1 John 2:22.b) Where is the god the holy spirit, if he exists? Or was John wrong? But if John was right, then you may be among those who deny the Father and the Son.

There are some, that are not converted so they do wear jewlery, etc. But does that mean give up? NO!

I was raised SDA and I also left because of legalism and hypocrisy. Also I was dismayed by the near worship of Ellen G. White in my conference. I am now affiliated with a Coventer Church ( an offshoot of the Lutheran Church) and I feel like I am now walking with God much better than when I was a Seven Day Adventist. My sister is a returned Seven Day Adventist and she and her husband feel that the SDA church is truly their spiritual home, and I do nothing but love them and support them in their journey as I do you and all others.

Hello. There is no perfect church. Even SDA, but we should pray earnestly for guidance especially if we are thinking of leaving the church, because that's what Satan wants.

Much Love, it’s a lot of churches that might disappoint you. I started out as a Baptist and I became pregnant in my teens was made to feel that I disrespected the church, and it was other higher ups that family was doing worse but not made to go through what they were taking me through. I was very unhappy, but I didn’t let them discourage me from going to church. But later after learning the word and fully letting the Lord in my heart I became a Seventh Day Adventist, 8 years ago something happen that made me leave the church, and my girls discouraged as well. It took me 4 years to realize, it’s not about the people in the church it’s about God, we all our human, what’s the saying “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” I’m still a Seventh Day Adventist but I also listen to the word at other SDA Churches. God bless your family and I pray 🙏🏾 you find your way. ❤🥰🥰🥰🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🥰🥰

The truth is, you have to be born again like Jesus says in John 3. Believe in Jesus. Be filled with the Holy Spirit and re-read the Scriptures with fresh eyes. Starting in the gospel of John and keep going and you shall do well.

I've been through traumas and needed help and even when my mom begged them time after time to visit me they still didn't.

Saw the whole video, and thank you for being brave and sharing. I can tell you guys are amazing people and possibly great experienced leaders. I hope you guys go back to that same church and not run away. The youth needs us more than anything. Your church is in the transition to hand the baton to the youth but to only loyal to God youth. Yes older folks have their ways but it’s not always the right one, they’re getting to that age… please work it out. God is with us wherever we go. Church should be a beautiful place to rejoice and connect with other Christians. You continue to shine your light. 💡 God bless you guys and don’t give up, we are the church!

I am 58 years old and I was born and raised in the SDA church in Massachusetts. I found that the church I attended is so very conservative. The church frown upon people who attended but didn’t ‘dress up to the nines’. I was in my twenties and I dressed clean and modest. However, I didn’t have ‘church attire’ . My other issue is, why is it necessary to segregate SDA churches? I grew up in a black SDA church but I’m mixed. I never felt welcomed. My grandmother took me at age three. When I got older, I told my grandmother how I felt and her reply was, “I go for God, not the church.” I’m at the stage in my life where I truly want to be present. Being in church is supposed to be community. One shouldn’t be made to feel lonely in church. On the other hand, I attended a smaller congregation and I was older and dressed more but still modest. My son was three years old and he had a lot of anxiety during the services and instead of helping me calm him, I was told to take him downstairs and spank him! He has autism! Really?! He’s almost thirty and remembers that experience! I am trying the different streaming SDA services online because it’s comforting to watch the services without having to deal with the politics.

Online service for me anytime. I understand that people live there culture,so the behaviour is brought into the church,we expect that they will act differently when they have a relationship with God but sadly most of them are searching and in need of help and a friend. Hurt people,hurt people. The bible says the wheat and tears grows together until the day of harvest . I would say to you is be the change that you want to see ,don't leave ,pray about it ,form a group and bring the change. Others are going through the same thing too and if everyone decide to leave then our younger generation will not experience and know about the greatness of God.

I was hestitant about watching this video, but after listening to this, I'm glad that you felt the same way as me. I am one of those 'former' members of the SDA church that got burned. My family and I have experienced many crushing experiences (including my brothers being introduced to drugs in the church). I was heavily involved in the church, my whole life. I participated in Pathfinders, music, and even helped with community work and cleaning the church. I have previously attended the church over the years and even the loving members have left the church sadly. I have attended an SDA church my whole life and honestly felt like I had to meet 'expectations' to feel like I matter. For the first time, I've never felt more free to know that I have a divine right to know who God is for myself. For that reason, I have left the SDA church, but not the belief. I know deep down inside I'm still a believer, and I've decided to explore this season/ chapter of my life to know more about God, and have my relationship with God. Thanks for sharing your video. I hope you all find where God leads you as well. Blessing and peace. Shalom. 🙏🏾🕊️❤

The Lord is good all the time. Just this pass Sabbath I was going through spiritual conflict with myself because we also experience the same things that you went through. I decided to travel to my hometown church from this Sabbath onwards. God send you to me at the right time. May God be with you on your journey

Hello, I don't quite know how to feel about this situation. I too left the SDA church, I have family members that are still going , I have told them that if the have a need to go to heaven they need to stop going but I now understand why they are still going. I thought that I was going insane when my diagnosis came in as chronic after suffering for so many years. To my surprise my church members crucified me and so did some of my family members. This is just a bit of my personal experience with the church, god made me realize that not all members of the church are at the same level of faith, spiritual understand, and conscience with you. It's been years, I just continue listening to the holy spirit and doing God's will as I still believe that the seventh day is the sabbath of the lord thy God. Didn't know anyone felt the same. Now am living by faith which have yet to disappoint me....blessings

I stopped attending the SDA church in 2019 but l still look forward to going back in the future.

I'm a Believer in my late sixties. I was Baptized (17) blessed years ago in the Sunday church (Pentecostal). Long story short by YAH's Grace and Mercy I'm now attending a (SDA) Church of God.... didn't know that there was other Sabbath Churches other than the Adventist Church. Matter of fact that was the denomination I grew up attending: however I've never been Baptized until I got older. That being said I know the hurts from both sides of the Pulpits..... and yes I also had to walk away from the Pentecostal Church NEVER FROM THE AUTHOR AND THE FINISHER OF MY FAITH. Thank you YAH 🙏🏿 That being said there's so much going on in my current church that quote and quote "Doesn't seem right.... However I'm continuing to Pray for the Direction and Answers daily. While I wait by YAH's Grace and Mercy I'm doing my best to Be the Church I truly wants to see....yup here I'm YAH start with me. Beloved don't get me wrong every day is a challenge, but by His Grace and Mercy I'll continue to present my Body as a living sacrifice for His reasonable service. And wherever He leads I'll continue to follow denying my Flesh every step of the way. I do wish you both all YAH's Grace and Blessings in your Journey with the most high.

It takes great courage to make certain decisions when it seems the majority is going in another direction. I have been there myself. Much respect to you for allowing the Holy Spirit and the Word of God lead you and not any religion. May God continue to bless, keep and guide you 🙏🏾

I truly appreciate your concerns, I am disappointed that you had such an unpleasant experience with the church I'm a SDA for about 40 years and yes we have faults I can identify with some of your concerns but when I examined Christianity, SDA teaching and doctrines are biblical, continuing to study and pray God sees your needs Smaller congregation maybe better for you ,God's richest blessings

Ever even if I don’t agree with what done of my church family say or do because when the mark of the Beast begins a lot of other churches and denominations still do not preach on these things so if you don’t know how will you be able to know what going to happen in the last Days? if am still alive I will die a Seven Day Adventist . 🎉
