The
Occult Roots of Seventh-day Adventism
New Age Markings on Ellen G. White's Writings
“There be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But
though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than
that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.” —Galatians 1:7,8

Seventh-day Adventism
[SDA] is a false religion, plagued with deception and lies. It is one
of the more subtle religions, being easily mistaken for a genuine New
Testament Church; however, it is not. SDA founder, Ellen G. White, was
involved with the occult and has a large Freemasonry
Obelisk situated above her grave.
The late Ellen G.
White (November 26, 1827-July 16, 1915), known to Seventh Day Adventists as
"God's Messenger" or "God's Prophet," used New Age/occult terminology and
taught New Age doctrine via some of the pages of her voluminous published
works.

New Age/Occult
terms: Mother earth, Mother Nature
--Cited from The
Health Reformer, March 1, 1871 and The Health Reformer, May 1, 1871
Ellen G. White
referred to the earth as Mother Earth:
May has come, with all her beauties of the sunshine, clothing nature
with a glorious dress. Mother earth has laid off her brown mantle,
and wears her cheerful robes of green. The trees and shrubs upon the lawn
are decorated with their opening buds and flowers of varied tints. The peach
and cherry are covered with blossoms of pink and white, and the pure music
from a thousand of nature's happy and cheering songsters, unite to awaken
joy and thankfulness in our hearts.
{HR, "The
Beautiful May"
May 1, 1871
par. 1} (Emphasis added)
The trees, shrubs, and flowers, will soon be attractive to the eye,
inviting all who delight in the beauties of nature to enjoy life out of
doors. The flowers and green foliage have not appeared, but mother earth
has thrown from her bosom her white mantle, and she even now bears a
cheerful aspect in the bright sunshine and shadows. All should now seek
employment some hours every day out of doors.
{HR,
March 1, 1871
par. 3} (Emphasis added)
Ellen G. White chose
Beltane (the highest holiday in Druid witchcraft) as the time to cite a
lengthy passage by Fanny B. Johnson that contains New Age terminology and
teaches New Age doctrine:
Lovely May is
here. Enjoy her, all you who can, while she is with us. Read what Fanny B.
Johnson, in Laws of Life, says under the caption,
{HR, "The Beautiful May"
May 1, 1871
par. 4}
Mrs. White endorsed
Fanny Johnson's highly New Age passage in which she urged Mother Nature's
children to "come out of doors, and take part in the
grand entertainment which she has gotten up with wondrous skill, taste, and
power":
OUT OF DOORS.
IN BEHALF OF OUR GOOD MOTHER NATURE,
I HEREBY INVITE AND ENTREAT ALL HER CHILDREN WITHIN SOUND OF MY VOICE OR
SIGHT OF MY PENTRACES TO COME OUT OF DOORS, AND TAKE PART IN THE GRAND
ENTERTAINMENT WHICH SHE HAS GOTTEN UP WITH WONDROUS SKILL, TASTE, AND POWER.
{HR,
May 1, 1871
par. 5} (Emphasis added)
Johnson presented
Mother Nature (not the Lord Jesus Christ) as the way for poverty-stricken,
burden-bearing human beings to escape from their condition:
MOTHER NATURE WILL TAKE YOU IN HER LAP,
WILL WOO YOU WITH THE BREATH OF APPLE BLOSSOMS AND CLOVERS, WILL FAN YOUR
CHEEK WITH PERFUME-LADEN AIRS, WILL SOOTHE YOU TO SLEEP WITH DROWSY HUM OF
BEES, AND MURMUR OF STREAMS, AND RUSTLE OF MYRIAD FLUTTERING LEAVES, WILL
WAKEN YOU WITH JOYOUS VOICES, WILL TAKE AWAY FROM YOUR SPIRITS THE
PEEVISHNESS AND LITTLENESS THAT IS SURE TO GATHER IN A NARROW ROUND OF CARE,
AND PUT IN THEIR PLACE SOMETHING OF HER SPIRIT OF CHARITY, AND LARGENESS,
AND HARMONY, AND BRING YOU INTO SYMPATHY WITH THE DIVINE.
THERE WAS NEVER BETTER CHANCE FOR POVERTY-STRICKEN, BURDEN-BEARING
HUMAN BEINGS TO ESCAPE FROM THEIR CONDITION AND INDULGE IN LUXURIES
FURNISHED WITHOUT MONEY AND WITHOUT PRICE.
I PROMISE YOU NATURE WILL SHOW NO FAVORS ON ACCOUNT OF WORLDLY DISTINCTIONS.
SHE WILL MINISTER NO MORE GRACIOUSLY TO THE QUEEN OF A REALM THAN TO HER
HUMBLEST MENIAL, PROVIDED THAT MENIAL BE LOYAL TO HERSELF. BUT TO THOSE WHO
LOOK UPON HER WITH "LOVERS' EYES" SHE MUST OF NECESSITY BE PARTIAL. SHE
SHOWS THEM WONDROUS THINGS IN HER PAGES, AND REVEALS HERSELF TO THEM AS SHE
CANNOT TO OTHERS.
{HR,
May 1, 1871
par. 6} (Emphasis added)
Ellen
G. White did not disclaim any of Fanny Johnson's New Age teachings and warn
her readers to refrain from being wooed by the devil in Mother Nature's
garb. An ambassador of the Lord Jesus Christ would contradict Fanny Johnson
and insist that Jesus Christ's invitation to the weary is the only one that
is valid:
"Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy
laden, and I will give you rest." (Matthew
11:28)
The Lord Jesus Christ
offers the only legitimate spiritual rest but the devil seeks to ensnare the
weary with a counterfeit rest via Ellen G. White's endorsement of Johnson's
"Mother Nature," who is known to New Agers as Earth Mother, or Gaia.
Luciferian Occult Symbols Saturate Seventh Day Adventist Religious Cult
How much more evidence do you
need to prove that the Seventh-Day Adventists are a satanic cult. On the
surface, Seventh-Day Adventism (SDA) looks wholesome, as does Freemasonry.
Masonry is a subversive group which has successfully infiltrated nearly
every large organization, including our churches. There is fellowship,
loyalty, brotherhood and the support of good causes such as Shriners
hospitals, philanthropy and good works. The Masonic motto is “Making good
men better.” Unfortunately, making a good man better doesn't get him into
Heaven. Jesus commanded, “Ye must be born again!” (John 3:7). Read about the
Luciferian god of Freemasonry called, “THE
GREAT ARCHITECT.”

images of the SDA religious cult. Check out, “RELIGIONS:
THE OCCULT CONNECTION” ...
New Age/Occult
term: Vital Force
Ellen G. White favored
the occult term, "vital force." Vital Force is a foundational concept in New
Age doctrine. Vital Force is another name for Chi which is commonly known in
the West as life force, vital force, universal energy, vital force, subtle
energy, etc.
Chi (also ki, qi or ji)
- A “life force” pervading the universe that sustains the body and the
material world. These terms and concepts come from Eastern beliefs but are
most prominently used in the martial arts and in alternative healing. Both
ki and chi can be seen in the following terms: Aikido, Tai
Chi, Reiki (energy healing). This force may also be known as the life
force, vital force, the vital energy, bioenergy, universal life
force, or universal energy. The belief in such a force is at the heart of
occultism and is also found in New Age beliefs. (1) [Emphasis added]
New Agers believe that
Vital Force (subtle energy) is a nonmaterial force that sustains life:
vital force (bioenergy, cosmic energy, cosmic energy force, cosmic force,
cosmic life energy, cosmic life force, elan vital, energy of being, force of
life, force vitale, inner vital energy, internal energy, life, life energy,
life force, life force energy, life power, life source energy, nerve energy,
nerve force, personal energy, spirit, subtle energy, universal
energy, universal life energy, universal life energy power, universal life
force, universal life force energy, universal life principle, vital cosmic
force, vital element, vital energy, vital energy force, vitality, vital life
force, vital life force energy, vitalistic principle, vitality energy, vital
life spirit, vital magnetism, vital principle, vital spirit): An alleged
nonmaterial "force" that sustains life. (2)
Subtle Energy, vital
force, universal life force, etc. (demon spirits) can be manipulated and
sent on assignment to perform lying wonders (2nd Thessalonians 2:9) via
various forms of witchcraft that are often disguised as alternative medical
treatments--such as Reiki and acupressure. Man cannot control or manipulate
God (or healings from God)--ever.
Man can
manipulate demons (which disguise themselves under sophisticated and
scientific-sounding terms) if he submits to the occult methodology
necessary for their cooperation but the result of such sin (even if it is
engaged in under the guise of New Age alternative medicine) is eternal
destruction in the Lake of Fire.
Examples
of Ellen G. White's use of the term, "vital force."
[Bold emphasis is
added.] Please note that Mrs. White used the term, "vital force" in the
same manner New Agers do today:
God has
endowed us with a certain amount of vital force. He has also formed
us with organs suited to maintain the various functions of life, and He
designs that these organs shall work together in harmony. If we carefully
preserve the life force, and keep the delicate mechanism of the body in
order, the result is health; but if the vital force is too rapidly
exhausted, the nervous system borrows power for present use from its
resources of strength, and when one organ is injured, all are affected. [The
Ministry of Healing, pg. 234] (3) [Note: in this passage Ellen G.
White teaches that God gives vital force.]
Food should not be eaten very hot or very cold.
If food is cold, the
vital force of the stomach is drawn
upon in order to warm it before digestion can take place. [The Ministry of
Healing pg. 305] (4)
Sometimes the
result of overeating is felt at once. In other cases there is no sensation
of pain; but the digestive organs lose their vital force, and the
foundation of physical strength is undermined. [The Ministry of Healing pg.
306](5)
These
unpleasant symptoms are felt because nature has accomplished her work at
an unnecessary outlay of vital force and is thoroughly exhausted. The
stomach is saying, "Give me rest." But with many the faintness is
interpreted as a demand for more food; so instead of giving the stomach
rest, another burden is placed upon it. As a consequence the digestive
organs are often worn out when they should be capable of doing good work.
[The Ministry of Healing pg. 307] (6)
[Note:
in the passage above, Ellen G. White attributed vital force to nature. Mrs.
White's practice of citing God and nature as the source of vital energy is
an example of Christian/New Age syncretism.]
Where wrong
habits of diet have been indulged, there should be no delay in reform. When
dyspepsia has resulted from abuse of the stomach, efforts should be made
carefully to preserve the remaining strength of the vital forces by
removing every overtaxing burden. [The Ministry of Healing pg. 308] (7)
In the following
passage, Ellen G. White links Christian growth with vital force:
Let a living
faith run like threads of gold through the performance of even the smallest
duties. Then all the daily work will promote Christian growth. There will be
a continual looking unto Jesus. Love for Him will give vital force to
everything that is undertaken. [From
Christ’s Object Lessons,
pp. 356-360] (8)
Those who think that
perhaps she used these terms unknowingly and innocently taught New Age
doctrine, please understand that New Age teachings were not widely known in
the United States in the 1800s. Ellen G. White learned these doctrines from
someone...and that someone was not God.
Ellen G. White's
"Christ" bestowed vital force:
He was the
originator of all the ancient gems of truth. Through the work of the enemy,
these truths had been displaced. . . . Christ rescued them from the
rubbish of error, gave them a new, vital force, and commanded them to
shine as jewels, and stand fast forever. [Manuscript 25, 1890.] (9)
[Note:
The context of this quote has to do with Mrs. White's defense of her
practice of claiming authorship of material she did not write but she did
use the occasion to link Christ with vital force. I ask which "Christ" might
that be? It is the New Age Christ who afflicts his followers with subtle
energy.]
In the next passage
Ellen G. White was correct to warn against the dangers of drugs but that
does not negate the fact that she was functioning as an early spokeswoman
for the New Age Movement by her continual promotion of the idea that vital
force keeps the body in good health. We see Christian/New Age syncretism at
work again via Ellen G. White's attribution of vital energy to nature in
some passages and to God in others:
People need to
be taught that drugs do not cure disease. It is true that they sometimes
afford present relief, and the patient appears to recover as the result of
their use; this is because nature has sufficient vital force to expel
the poison and to correct the conditions that caused the disease. [The
Ministry of Healing, pg. 126] (10)
Here Mrs. White
attributed vital force to God:
The Lord will put new, vital force into His work
as human
agencies obey the command to go forth and proclaim the truth. . . . The
truth will be criticized, scorned, and derided; but the closer it is
examined and tested, the brighter it will shine. . . . [Selected
Messages, book 1, p. 201] (11)
God endowed man with so great vital force
that he has withstood the accumulation of disease brought upon the race in
consequence of perverted habits, and has continued for six thousand years. .
. . [From My Life Today, page 126] (12)
According to Mrs.
White, vital force is highly desirable and parents should take care not to
deny this force to future generations:
If the mother
is deprived of the care and comforts she should have, if she is allowed to
exhaust her strength through overwork or through anxiety and gloom, her
children will be robbed of the vital force and of the mental elasticity
and cheerful buoyancy they should inherit. [The Ministry of Healing, pg.
375] (13)
Children who
are robbed of that vitality which they should have inherited from
their parents should have the utmost care. [Vital Vigor and Energy 204] (14)
Rather than tell her
followers not to overwork lest they become too tired and run down, Ellen G.
White presented the New Age concept that overexertion depletes vital force
to the hurt of one's health:
Those who make
great exertions to accomplish just so much work in a given time, and
continue to labor when their judgment tells them they should rest, are never
gainers. They are living on borrowed capital. They are expending the
vital force which they will need at a future time. [From My Life Today -
Page 142] (15)
According to Mrs.
White, frequent child-bearing depletes women of vital energies. This of
course conflicts with God's command to multiply and be fruitful and 1st
Timothy 2:15: "...she shall be saved in childbearing..."
Everywhere you
may look you will see pale, sickly, care-worn, broken-down, dispirited,
discouraged women. They are generally overworked, and their vital
energies exhausted by frequent child-bearing. [Vital Vigor and Energy
203] (16)
While it is a fact
that frequent child-bearing can be physically exhausting, giving birth has
nothing do with losing a nonmaterial "force" that sustains life.
Mrs. White taught that
snacking causes the unnatural stimulation and wearing of the vital forces.
The context suggests that an imbalance of the vital forces leads to sin:
Children are generally untaught in regard to the importance of when, how, and what they should eat. They are permitted to indulge their tastes freely, to eat at all hours, to help themselves to fruit when it tempts their eyes, and this, with the pie, cake, bread and butter, and sweetmeats eaten almost constantly, makes them gourmands and dyspeptics. The digestive organs, like a mill which is continually kept running, become enfeebled, vital force is called from the brain to aid the stomach in its overwork, and thus the mental powers are weakened.
The unnatural stimulation and wear of the vital forces make them nervous, impatient of restraint, self-willed, and irritable. . . . It is difficult to arouse them to a sense of the shame and grievous nature of sin. [Selected Messages, book 1, p. 201.] (17)
The God of the
Bible is NOT the god of Vital Force
Ellen G. White,
regardless of what she may have stated in her other writings, chose to
repeatedly use the occult phrase, "vital force" to promote the pagan belief
that "an alleged nonmaterial force sustains life."
The Bible clearly
states that it is by the Lord Jesus Christ that all things consist:
For by him were
all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and
invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or
powers: all things were created by him, and for him: Colossians 1:16
And he is
before all things, and by him all things consist.
Colossians 1:17
It is in Jesus Christ
that we live, move and have our being:
For in him we
live, and move, and have
our being; Acts
17:28
The Holy Bible refutes
the New Age lie of vital force. It is by Jesus Christ himself, not a
nonmaterial force, that all things consist. It is in Jesus Christ (not vital
force) that Christians live and move and have their being.
It is God, not
Vital Force That Sustains Mankind
This
passage was cited earlier in the article, but in conclusion, please note
that Ellen G. White taught her followers that vital force has enabled man to
live on earth for six thousand years without becoming extinct:
God endowed man with so great vital force
that he has withstood the accumulation of disease upon the race in
consequence of perverted habits, and has continued for six thousand years. .
. . If Adam, at his creation, had not been endowed with twenty times as
much vital force as men now have, the race, with their present habits of
living in violation of natural law, would have become extinct. [From My Life
Today, page 126]
It is God himself, not
a nonmaterial "vital force" who has mercifully sustained mankind's existence
upon the earth for all these years.
Ellen G. White promoted the "vital force" doctrine of devils long before
Eastern religious thought became prevalent in the United States and other
parts of the western world.

New Age Markings on Ellen G. White's Writings
Seventh-day Adventists: Yoked with the United Nations
The Seventh-day
Adventist Church hierarchy is yoked with the United Nations and their
interests are represented there:
Liaison Office
to the United Nations is based at the Church's world headquarters in Silver
Spring, Maryland, USA. It serves to both communicate and represent the
Church at the UN and also to inform the Church of UN activities of
importance and interest. (1)
Seventh-day Adventist
leaders partner with the United Nations in many UN-sponsored activities:
The Church
benefits from such representation and recommendations, and seeks to partner
where appropriate in UN-sponsored activities such a literacy development,
humanitarian aid, human rights education, anti-narcotic drug programs, and
conventions and declarations of mutual interest such as trafficking in
people, children's issues, preventive health, AIDS programs, pollution
control, combating intolerance etc. (2)
Indeed, the SDA Church
and the United Nations globalists have common goals:
Much of the
work of the Church is appreciated and endorsed since it parallels the aims
and objectives of the UN as outlined in the UN Charter. (3)
The Seventh Day
Adventist high-ranking officials believe that much can be accomplished via
their association with the United Nations and consider their work with the
UN an essential part of their witness to the world:
The UN Liaison
work is considered an essential part of the Church's witness to the wider
world, and also provides the Church with updated and relevant information on
programs and plans of the international community. (4)
What kind of witness
is the SDA Church accomplishing via their yoke with the United Nations? The
United Nations was founded for the purpose of implementing the New Age/World
Order. It is revealing that a religious organization that claims to be
"the Remnant Church" (and whose co-founder marked
herself for the New Age) considers their work with high-level
globalists an essential part of their witness to the world.
Be ye not unequally
yoked together
with unbelievers:
for what fellowship hath righteousness with
unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with
darkness? 2nd Corinthians 6:14
The Seventh-day
Adventist Church falsely presents the United Nations as a benign
organization when in fact it is a major vehicle for the one world government
of the Beast.
Woe unto them that
call evil
good, and good
evil; that put darkness for light, and light
for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Isaiah 5:20
