351: Seventh-day Adventist's teach that Sunday worshippers ARE THE ...
Proof the official doctrine of the Seventh-day Adventist churches is that the Mark of the beast is those who worship on Sunday. "Sunday-keeping must be the mark of the beast." ... "The reception of his mark must be something that involves the greatest offense that can be committed against God." (The Marvel of Nations, Elder U. Smith pages 170, 183) "Here we find the mark of the beast. The very act of changing the Sabbath into Sunday, on the part of the Catholic church, without any authority from the Bible." (Ellen G. White, The Mark of the Beast, page 23) "The Sunday Sabbath is purely a child of the Papacy. It is the mark ... The second step to counterfeit the seal is Daniel 8:12, "And an host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it CAST DOWN THE TRUTH TO THE GROUND; and it practiced, and prospered." He would "cast down the truth." Why? Because it's again the truth that is sealed in the saints forehead. And so we see a perfect fulfillment. We have seen ... ...

352: Lesson 23: The Lord's Church
The one church that Christ purchased with His own blood belongs to Him and the name it wears must honor Him. We read in Romans 16:16, "The churches of Christ greet you." This name glorifies and honors Christ, the one who built it. Other names honor and glorify John the Baptist, Martin Luther, the day of Penticost, the apostles, Rome, Antioch, Nazareth, the Greeks, the Russians, the methodical way of doing things, Christians, the free will, being primitive, southern, missionary, general, the seventh day, science, catholic, the advent, and the list goes on and on. Even by their names they do not claim to be Christ's one church. Why can't we give the glory and honor to God and Christ where the honor belongs? ... Christ did not shed His blood to purchase any denomination nor did He purchase a group of denominations. The word denomination means a fraction or part of a whole. The Lord's church is not a fraction or a part of anything. It is complete within itself. Any church claiming to be ... ...

353: Lesson 19: Singing In Worship (Part 4)
in the New Testament to be used in worship of the church, we might ask, when did man "take it upon himself" to start using them in trying to worship God? It is a historical fact according to early church history, no mechanical instruments of music were ever used in church worship until about the year 670 A.D. At this time the church at Rome introduced an organ which produced such disturbances that it was removed. It was not until about 775 A.D. that it was introduced again, but this time it was kept, even with many people objecting. The instrument was not accepted by many churches for many years. Even in the 13th century Thomas Aquinas, a noted Catholic scholar, wrote against its use. ... In the Old Testament's place Christ has replaced it with the New Testament as we continue to read in Hebrews 9:15-16 (KJV), "And for this cause He is the Mediator of the New Testament...For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator."

380: Arian (Jehovah's Witness) Subordination Refuted
Ask, "Are you not human because you submit to your husband?" Neither is Jesus less than God because He submits to the Father! Jehovah's Witnesses are generally not honest enough to actually answer the question. Instead they will start babbling on some irrelevant tangent as a smokescreen to hide the fact they were outright refuted by our question! Here is the obvious answer to the question they knew in their hearts to be true: Is a wife equal to her husband? Yes and no. She is equal as a class of being (human), but not equal in rank. Wives must submit to their husbands (1 Peter 3:1; Eph 5:22;33) and are not permitted to teach men or hold oversight positions over men in the church. (1 Tim 2:11-12). Yet men ...
