“The first step of apostasy is to set up a creed, telling us what we shall believe. The second is, to make that creed a test of fellowship. The third is to try members by that creed. The fourth to denounce as heretics those who do not believe that creed. And, fifth, to commence persecution against such. I plead that we are not patterning after the churches in any unwarrantable sense, in the step proposed.”
J.N. Loughborough, Review and Herald, October 8, 1861

Where have all the comments gone from trinity in the sda church article?
Why delete them..... AMAZING

“The Holy Spirit, which proceeds from the only begotten Son of God,” — (Ellen G. White, Review and Herald, April 5, 1906)

“They were two, yet little short of being identical; two in individuality, yet ONE IN SPIRIT, and heart, and character.” — (Ellen G. White, Youth's Instructor, December 16, 1897)

"The Father and the Son alone are to be exalted."
{The Youth’s Instructor, July 7, 1898}

This article is enlightening!
Praise God!

Seventh-day Adventists have no creed but the Bible; but they hold to certain well-defined points of faith, for which they feel prepared to give a reason “to every man that asketh” them. The following propositions may be taken as a summary of the principal features of their religious faith, upon which there is, so far as is known, entire unanimity throughout the body. They believe: FPSDA 1.1
1. That there is one God, a personal, spiritual being, the Creator of all things, omnipotent, omniscient, and eternal; infinite in wisdom, holiness, justice, goodness, truth and mercy; unchangeable and every-where present by his representative, the Holy Spirit

Good for you. However, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel does not have three heads, neither is He schizophrenic.

When Stephen was being stoned to death for his faithful testimony, he looked up and saw in vision, "the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing AT THE RIGHT HAND of God!" (Acts 7:56) There was no one standing on the left hand side, just God and His Only-begotten Son! As it is also written, "But I saw no temple in [the New Jerusalem], for the Lord God Almighty AND the Lamb are its temple." Rev. 21:22

God is NOT, in similitude, a polygamous Mormon

President Donald J.Trump:
Genesis 1 introduces us to God. In there, God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness"; and then it is written, "So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them." (1:26-27) It is obvious that the human duality for the sake of procreation is reflective of the nature of the Divine duality for the sake of our special creation as children of God.

But who were the two Divine beings that "brought forth" Adam and Eve? Jesus said, "For as the Father has life in Himself, so He has granted the Son to have life in Himself ..." and again "For as the Father raises the dead and gives life to them, even so the Son gives life to whom He will". (John 5:26, 21)

For which reason, John declares, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made." (John 1:1-2) And Jesus prayed, "And now, O Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was." (John 17:5)

There are ONLY TWO from whom, and for whom, are all things. And so God is NOT a trinity of persons. The analogy by which we gain understanding of who God is has been freely provided for us in our parents and the family. But men, in their vanity of ignorance, paint laughable images and imagine shamrocks and three-legged stools and tri-pronged forks and say it is too hard to understand.

In every NT book written by Paul, with the single exception of Hebrews, within the first few verses of the first chapter he gives the blessing/greeting specifically mentioning the Father and the Son. Does he slight the Spirit by careless neglect? Of course not!
In every throne-room scene we have described for us there is either ONE throne or TWO - NEVER three! Over to the left is something here represented by the minora, but described in Revelation as the SEVEN spirits of God.
Angels are described as spirits. We have within us "the spirit of man." We desire the blessing of His Spirit in our lives, as our Comforter, as our Instructor, as our Inspiration, but when the disciples asked their Master to teach them to pray, not ONE WORD did He breathe about praying TO ANY HOLY SPIRIT!
We have been warned IN NO UNCERTAIN TERMS that, when it comes to discussing things about which the Bible has LITTLE to say, SILENCE IS GOLDEN! Why, then, do we wax so bold as to put out BOOKS upon books trying to explain who/what/how/where "God the Spirit" might be? No such phrase even EXISTS in the Bible!
What part of "SILENCE IS GOLDEN" eludes our sanctimonious scholars, anyway???

This article is self-contradictory. If EG White changed her beliefs about the personality of God from anti-trinitarian to trinitarian, why would she object to today's Church Manual gods? It simply means that she consistently rejected trinity gods. Besides, her "three persons" quotes are not a trinity doctrine at all.

“…For He dwelleth with you, and shall be in you” [John 14:16, 17]. This refers to the omnipresence of the Spirit of Christ, called the Comforter.” 14MR 179.2, Feb 7,

“We want the Holy Spirit, which is Jesus Christ” -E. G. W. Lt66, April 10, 1894

• Jesus said ;
• Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well.
• (so He said you believe in one God you are on the right track
• Seventh-day Adventists have no creed but the Bible; but they hold to certain well-defined points of faith, for which they feel prepared to give a reason “to every man that asketh” them.

• 1. That there is one God, a personal, spiritual being, the Creator of all things, omnipotent, omniscient, and eternal; infinite in wisdom, holiness, justice, goodness, truth and mercy; unchangeable and every-where present by his representative, the Holy Spirit
But Christ is equal with God, infinite and omnipotent. He could pay the ransom for man's freedom
There are many in the church who take it for granted that they understand what they believe; but, until controversy arises, they do not know their own weakness.
When all things began, the word already was. The word dwelt with God and what God was, the word was.”
Spirit of God is God; Psalm 139:7. [Where can I go from Thy spirit? or where can I flee from Thy presence?]
Who is Christ? -- He is the only begotten Son of the living God.” (Ellen G. White, Youth’s Instructor
Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God
Here we see that the King eternal is immortal , invisible , He is the only wise God
“God does not compel men to give up their unbelief. Before them are light and darkness, truth and error. It is for them to decide which they will accept. The human mind is endowed with power to discriminate between right and wrong. God designs that men shall not decide from impulse, but from weight of evidence, carefully comparing scripture with scripture.” (Ellen G. White, The Desire of Ages’, page 458, ‘Among snares’)

Those followers of Christ who accept the light that God sends them
must obey the voice of God speaking to them
when there are many other voices crying out against it.”
(Ellen G. White, 3rd Volume Testimonies, page 258, ‘The Laodicean Church)
• God is spirit, and his worshiper must worship in the Spirit and in truth. John 4:24
So a Spirit has to put on a body to come among mankind so he can be seen by man
There is nothing more excellent than this truth, of which the Church is the keeper and preserver here among men, the ministry of the word being appointed to that end and purpose: for it teaches us the greatest matters that may be thought, that is, that God has become visible in the person of Christ by taking our nature upon him, whose majesty, even though in such great weakness, was manifested in many ways, in so much that the sight of it pierced the very angels. And to conclude, he being preached to the Gentiles was received by them, and is now placed above in unspeakable glory.

“Finally, we know the Divine unity of the Father and the Son from the fact that both have the same Spirit. Paul, after saying that they that are in the flesh cannot please God, continues: “But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.” Rom. 8:9. Here we find that the Holy Spirit is both the Spirit of God and the Spirit of Christ.” — (E.J. Waggoner, Christ and His Righteousness, p. 23, 1890)

“The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God; it is also the Spirit of Christ. It is that divine, mysterious emanation through which they carry forward their great and infinite work.” — (Uriah Smith, GC Bulletin, March 18, 1891, pp. 146, 147)

The Church would do well to heed the warning to not run ahead of the church's ability to accept a change in doctrinal understanding. For such activity has surely brought "confusion and discord into the ranks."(as she stated concerning the swine's flesh issue in her time.) So maybe some have been "rushing on without divine guidance." Just some thoughts to ponder.
