“As fundamental errors, we might class with this counterfeit sabbath other errors which Protestants have brought away from the Catholic church, such as sprinkling for baptism, thetrinity,
the consciousness of the dead and eternal life in misery.
The mass who have held these fundamental errors, have doubtless done it ignorantly; but can it be supposed that the churchofChristwillcarryalongwithhertheseerrorstillthejudgmentscenesburstupontheworld?Wethinknot.”
(JamesWhite,September12,1854,

,vol.6,No.5,page36,par.8)
This book is almost exclusively quotations, and therefore quotation marksare not used. My own writing stands out in a different type style.
Here is an example!
Italicized, underlined, and bold text emphasis is supplied by the compiler except where

is found.

This book is a compilation of quotes from Adventist Pioneers which reflect the unanimous positionof the early Adventist Church. Many are unaware of the teachings of the Adventist Pioneers. After reading this book, you will see for yourself what they believed. Has the Adventist Church, as a whole,shifted away from the truth revealed in Scripture, and taken up doctrines of the Catholic church, whichare held by all of her daughters, the apostate Protestant churches. May God help us to
“earnestly con-tend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. For there are certain men crept in un-awares,… denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.”
(Jude 4, 5)
“Who is a liar but hethatdenieththatJesusistheChrist?Heisantichrist,thatdenieththeFatherandtheSon.”
(1John2:22)
“Most of the founders of Seventh-day Adventism would not be able to join thechurch today if they had to subscribe to the denomination’s Fundamental Beliefs.“More specifically, most would not be able to agree to belief number 2, whichdeals with the doctrine of the Trinity.…”

Note:
Although Stephenson made a statement promoting theidea that Christ is a created being (with which the publishers can-not agree and therefore it has been deleted), his article is in-cluded for its valuable Bible teachings. He, along with UriahSmith and one statement by J. N. Loughborough in 1855 are theonly early Adventists I know of who put this idea in print. In 1855,one year after Stephenson wrote this article he left the move-ment. Uriah Smith in his first printing of 
Thoughts on the Revela-tion
in 1867 taught that Christ was created, but he soon revisedhis understanding, and in later printings of 
Daniel and Revelation
he deleted all such statements and added strong statementsagainst this idea, bringing him in harmony with the rest of thebrethren.
