Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
First let me say that I love each of you very much. Second, there will never be a day when I will set aside the precious truths of the Bible that each of us has learned. The Seventh-day Adventist message is the truth. That being said, there is something that I have been warned not to talk about and indeed I have not been given the links to join in for prayer or church meetings. The fact of the matter is that each of us, every day, in some way or another has compromised what we have been taught. Whether that is in diet, caffeine, dress, Sabbath keeping, jewelry wearing, or living arraignments, we ALL have compromised at one time or another. Personally I have been guilty of all of the above. So when I pray for God to forgive US for where WE have compromised in OUR beliefs I am including myself. There have been other compromises that I talked with the board members about a while back. These I will not discuss here per previous arraignment. Suffice it to say my words went unheeded and compromises were made. Our General conference of SDA’s has sent ambassadors to the Vatican. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cc6hF8twWOA&list=LLHlU2r_1aMkCWEVhnkxL0Gw&index=85&t=0s Our GC of SDA’s has donated money to LGBTQ organization. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjxMo6YwQGQ Our GC of SDA’s has promoted Sabbath breaking by sponsoring an Nascar and given away tickets to Sabbath races. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbjQSwMCjrg Any money given to the General conference of SDA’s can and has been used like this. For this reason I have withdrawn my name from the General Conference of SDA’s. Here is a link to my blog with EGW comments about the General Conference in her day. https://iodtiger.blogspot.com/2020/01/httpwwwfreesdaorg-none-of-these-words.html This one is a dream that I had about our little group … https://iodtiger.blogspot.com/2020/02/dream-272020.html EGW statements.. https://iodtiger.blogspot.com/2020/02/so-confusedall-of-these-statements-are.html It is my belief that because the GC has apostatized that I can not support them in any way. When the Pharisees in Jesus day stopped their ears and would not listen to the truth, Jesus had to eventually say that “their house was left to them desolate.” Our church has been following the path of ancient Israel. We came to the borders of the heavenly Canaan back in the late 1800’s and if we had been faithful at that point then we would not still be wandering around in the desert today. I was asked not to share any of this with any of you, or I would not be invited back. However, since I dared to pray for God to forgive, “Us for how WE have compromised OUR beliefs,” I have not been given the links to worship or pray with anyone in the church and was asked to meet with the elders, which meeting I am declining, therefore I am writing this letter to each of you. I sincerely hope that each of you studies this out for yourselves. Do not believe me based solely on anything that I have ever written or said. Please, please, please hold onto the tenants of our faith. They are right and true. I apologize sincerely for any wrong I have ever done to any of you, and I apologize for any confusion that this brings. I am also sorry if this is a cause for anyone to lose faith. Please hang on to the truths that you know and to Jesus. Please pray and fast for clarity in this matter. Karl, I know how hard your job is and I am sorry for making it harder. Please people do not stop up your ears from hearing. The end is near and I want to see each of you in the kingdom.
Until that great day, your sister in Christ, https://my.bible.com/bible/1/GAL.4.KJV
Lisa. Galatians 4:16 Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth? Those who have too little courage to reprove wrong, or who through indolence or lack of interest make no earnest effort to purify the family or the church of God, are held accountable for the evil that may result from their neglect of duty. We are just as responsible for evils that we might have checked in others by exercise of parental or pastoral authority as if the acts had been our own. PP 578.2The example of those who minister in holy things should be such as to impress the people with reverence for God and with fear to offend Him. When men, standing "in Christ's stead" (2 Corinthians 5:20) to speak to the people God's message of mercy and reconciliation, use their sacred calling as a cloak for selfish or sensual gratification, they make themselves the most effective agents of Satan. Like Hophni and Phinehas, they cause men to "abhor the offering of the Lord." They may pursue their evil course in secret for a time; but when at last their true character is exposed, the faith of the people receives a shock that often results in destroying their confidence in religion. There is left upon the mind a distrust of all who profess to teach the word of God. The message of the true servant of Christ is doubtfully received. The question constantly arises, "Will not this man prove to be like the one we thought so holy, and found so corrupt?" Thus the word of God loses its power upon the souls of men. PP 580.1There is no greater curse upon households than to allow the youth to have their own way. When parents regard every wish of their children and indulge them in what they know is not for their good, the children soon lose all respect for their parents, all regard for the authority of God or man, and are led captive at the will of Satan. The influence of an ill-regulated family is widespread and disastrous to all society. It accumulates in a tide of evil that affects families, communities, and governments. PP 579.1
