Channel Title: Advent Defense League Channel Description: The Advent Defense League is a ministry dedicated to bringing you answers to common objections against Adventist beliefs. On this channel, we teach and defend the doctrines of the church as outlined in its 28 Fundamental Beliefs, specifically its most controversial subjects such as the Sabbath, Law and Grace, the State of the Dead, Hellfire, the Heavenly Sanctuary, the Investigative Judgment, and others.

Description: Here's the quote critics love to use against Ellen White: "We can do nothing that would close up the way before us in this country like taking a position of superiority and putting before the people that we consider them heathen. In truth they are worse than heathen, but this we are not to tell them." (17MR, 334.1). How do we explain this? Let's find out! </video> <video> SDAS REACT TO: Sabbath on Sunday Not Saturday-Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel @ChristTheGoodShepherdChurch Description: In this video, we respond to Mar Mari's controversial statement that the Sabbath is on Sunday. As Seventh-day Adventists (SDAs), we believe the Sabbath is observed on the seventh day of the week, Saturday, as it was established in Scripture. We explore the Biblical and historical evidence supporting the Saturday Sabbath, addressing key questions about the origins of Sunday worship and its significance. Join us as we provide a thoughtful, Biblical response to the claim that Sunday is the true Sabbath, and learn why SDAs continue to honor Saturday as the day of rest and worship. Whether you're curious about the Sabbath or seeking a deeper understanding of SDA beliefs, this video offers insights rooted in scripture and tradition. #Sabbath #SundaySabbath #SeventhDayAdventist #MarMari #BibleTruth #SabbathRest #SDABeliefs #SabbathDebate 0:00 - Intro 4:30 - Today's Topic 5:34 - Join the Facebook Group to speak to ADL 8:08 - Short Show? 9:19 - Did God create the world in 6 literal days? 16:15 - Did the 7th day have an evening and morning? 19:46 - What is a day? 23:27 - The week was understood as 7 days in the beginning 26:55 - Does God only rest when we are sin-free? 32:41 - Hebrews 4 36:57 - "If we say that we have no sin..." 42:17 - The way we honor the Death and Resurrection of Jesus 48:25 - Paul preached the Resurrection of Jesus on Sabbath 53:49 - Do we make void the Law? 1:00:15 - The Life of Christ manifested in us 1:03:27 - Colossians 2|16 and Ephesians 2|15 1:20:00 - Acts 20:7 1:24:24 - Is Jesus the Sabbath? 1:42:16 - Is Christ in us a reason not to keep the Sabbath? 1:51:28 - Summary of the main points 2:07:49 - The New Covenant 2:17:04 - Is the Sabbath a Non-relevant issue? 2:25:00 - Closing Thoughts/Announcements </video> <video> SDAS REACT TO: 10 Things You Should Know about Seventh Day Adventists Part 2 Description: Join us in part 2 tonight as we react to "10 Things You Should Know about Seventh Day Adventists".
