		<description><![CDATA[As the world is concerned December 25th is the birth date of Jesus which we know is false. However it would be around the time of His mother Mary being conceived by the Holy Spirit. The Bible is silent as to a particular day of this event and it would be unwise to make a celebration out of it when it is not called for. 

The videos showing the history of the Advent movement naturally require someone to act the part of Ellen White. From what we have seen the representation appears realistic and carefully done without doing any disservice to the life and character of Mrs. White. On the other hand there are far more grievous sins being committed by the church that will bring down the judgment of God as specified in the ninth chapter of Ezekiel. If you search through this website and read any of the original SRod tract literature you will come to find what the abominations are that are being done inside the church. Please send us an email to hosea21@gmail.com and provide a mailing address and we will be happy to send you some of this important literature right away.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Friend of Truth:

Yes, we agree the SDA Church should take a stand against the celebration of any pagan holiday or festival such as X-Mass, New Years, or easter. However, as prophecy foretells the church is steadily retreating towards Egypt (5T 217) and that it must go through a terrible shaking ordeal (EW 270, 2 SM 380) in order for God to save us from our Laodicean slumber. May God us each stand for the Truth until the end, come what may.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The SDA Church must take a stand on the celebration of Christmas.
However, l personally disapprove it since it is not biblical

We have to follow what the Bible says as plainly stated in Jeremiah 10:1-25. Scripture further warns us not to worship trees as do the heathen, Deuteronomy 16:21-22.

2 Timothy 2:15   Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Brother Cyril:

Since Valentines is definitively pagan in origin and practice it should be shunned as other pagan festivals such as Easter, Christmas, Holloween, etc. God desires for His people to be separate and not learn the ways of the heathen which is for our own good, see Jer. 10:2, 14, 15. Valentines if full of graven images, hearts, cupids, love potions, etc.

May God bless you as you stand strong for the Truth, come what may.

Dear Friend,
 
Greetings in Christian love!
 
You have come to the right place. Yes indeed God will answer your sincere prayer seeking for understanding on the topic of the seven trumpets and the seven seals as the Holy Spirit guide, leads, and directs us unto all Truth. There are two tracts Nos. 5 and 15 entitled “Final Warning” and “To the Seven Churches”, respectively, which specifically address these two subjects in brilliant and clarion detail that will amaze and convince the honest at heart that it is a fresh revelation of Truth so much needed by the Seventh-day Adventist church to prepare us for the final conflict ahead. We will contact you by email so that these two tracts can be sent to you without cost or obligation. In the meanwhile, here is a link to reveal the troubles the church is facing on the topic of the seven trumpets as a result of advancing private uninspired opinions of men rather than seeking for inspiration’s answer to their dilemma. Also there are two links that will directly download original scans of these tracts as PDF files for reading directly on your computer.
