  • William G. Johnsson (Adventist) vs. Walter Martin (Christian) | Is Adventism a Cult? | DEBATE

    It's been decades since Dr. Walter Martin—author of the famed Kingdom of the Cults—initially gave Seventh-Day Adventism a pass and listed them as heterodox, and not cultic, in his book. But did the story end there? He appeared on the John Ankerberg Show in 1985 not too long after the release of his book to discuss with the then editor of the Adventist Review, Mr. William G. Johnsson, where he demonstrates a change of heart—mostly tied to the SDA Church's views on Ellen G. White.

In His grace, God entered into His own creation in the person of Jesus Christ (John 1:1-14; Col. 1:19), born of a virgin (Matt. 1:23), and lived a perfect and sinless life, fulfilling all the Law’s demands (2 Cor. 5:21; Matt. 5:17), on a mission by God the Father to save sinners from condemnation (John 3:16-18, 6:37-40). He paid the penalty for sin which is death (Romans 6:23) and bore the sins of His people in His body on a cross (1 Peter 2:24), making propitiation by His blood (Romans 3:25). He died, was buried, and resurrected in the same body He died in on the third day for our justification (1 Cor. 15, Romans 4:25; Luke 24:39). By a living faith (James 2:18) in the Person and Work of Jesus (Romans 10:9-10), God graciously declares a person righteous (Romans 4:5), they are reconciled to their Creator (Romans 5:10-11), given Christ’s righteousness in full (Phil. 3:8-9), sealed with the Holy Spirit (Eph. 1:13), and have peace with God (Romans 5:1). They are born again of the Spirit (1 John 5:1, Titus 3:5), adopted into His family(Eph. 4:5–7), and are granted eternal resurrection life in Jesus Christ (1 John 5:11), set free to do good works that please Him (Eph. 2:10; 1 John 2:3-4). Jesus will physically return one day to judge the living and the dead (1 Peter 4:5; Acts 24:15; John 5:24-5), throwing the wicked out of His Kingdom (Matt. 13:41-3), but His people will be spared from the wrath to come (1 Thess. 1:10) to dwell in union with God forever (Rev. 21:3). #debate #christiandebate #ellengwhite #seventhdayadventist #adventistchurch #adventist #threeangelsmessages #spiritofprophecy #christiantheology #debates #discussion #protestant #apologetics #sda #sdachurch #christiantheology #seventhdayadventistchurch #longformcontent #seventhdayadventism #ellengwhite #ellengouldwhite #theology #adventism

Devoting one chapter in his book to each of ten controversial issues, he challenges SDAs to move on more positive directions. An Australian from Adelaide, Johnsson served for many years as the Editor of the "Adventist Review" and "Adventist World," the denomination's leading official publications. Before this, he served at Spicer University in India and Andrews University in Michigan. A New Testament specialist who earned his PhD at Vanderbilt University, he is currently focusing his scholarly work on the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. His dissertation, which breaks new ground in scholarship on the Epistle to the Hebrews by drawing on the disciple of phenomenology, is on the Internet.

William G. Johnsson (Adventist) vs. Walter Martin (Christian) | Is Adventism a Cult? | DEBATE

It's been decades since Dr. Walter Martin—author of the famed Kingdom of the Cults—initially gave Seventh-Day Adventism a pass and listed them as heterodox, and not cultic, in his book. But did the story end there? He appeared on the John Ankerberg Show in 1985 not too long after the release of his book to discuss with the then editor of the Adventist Review, Mr. William G. Johnsson, where he demonstrates a change of heart—mostly tied to the SDA Church's views on Ellen G. White.

In His grace, God entered into His own creation in the person of Jesus Christ (John 1:1-14; Col. 1:19), born of a virgin (Matt. 1:23), and lived a perfect and sinless life, fulfilling all the Law’s demands (2 Cor. 5:21; Matt. 5:17), on a mission by God the Father to save sinners from condemnation (John 3:16-18, 6:37-40). He paid the penalty for sin which is death (Romans 6:23) and bore the sins of His people in His body on a cross (1 Peter 2:24), making propitiation by His blood (Romans 3:25). He died, was buried, and resurrected in the same body He died in on the third day for our justification (1 Cor. 15, Romans 4:25; Luke 24:39). By a living faith (James 2:18) in the Person and Work of Jesus (Romans 10:9-10), God graciously declares a person righteous (Romans 4:5), they are reconciled to their Creator (Romans 5:10-11), given Christ’s righteousness in full (Phil. 3:8-9), sealed with the Holy Spirit (Eph. 1:13), and have peace with God (Romans 5:1). They are born again of the Spirit (1 John 5:1, Titus 3:5), adopted into His family(Eph. 4:5–7), and are granted eternal resurrection life in Jesus Christ (1 John 5:11), set free to do good works that please Him (Eph. 2:10; 1 John 2:3-4). Jesus will physically return one day to judge the living and the dead (1 Peter 4:5; Acts 24:15; John 5:24-5), throwing the wicked out of His Kingdom (Matt. 13:41-3), but His people will be spared from the wrath to come (1 Thess. 1:10) to dwell in union with God forever (Rev. 21:3). #debate #christiandebate #ellengwhite #seventhdayadventist #adventistchurch #adventist #threeangelsmessages #spiritofprophecy #christiantheology #debates #discussion #protestant #apologetics #sda #sdachurch #christiantheology #seventhdayadventistchurch #longformcontent #seventhdayadventism #ellengwhite #ellengouldwhite #theology #adventism
