“Eli Soriano once again committed a straw man argument here by saying that Ellen White “commanded HER OWN IDEA to the members of the SDA to rebaptize an erring member!”. After using this kind of argument you will notice that in the SDA Church Manual which he quoted above says differently..”

The teaching that the Ten Commandments is flawed, inefficient and insufficient leads to many inconsistencies and disagreement with the fundamental teachings of the Bible.

Clearly, it is not the Ten Commandments that is faulty. God found fault in the people that is why the old covenant was flawed. Immediate verses answer our critics’ stand.

The main problem of our critics’ argument is that the “covenant” in Heb 8:7 is not the same “covenant” in Deut 4:13. The two verses are related but are not of the same meaning.

Paul’s audience can only turn back to what they had previously, and that is not the sabbath-keeping. They were pagans so they can only turn back to pagan holidays. Therefore, it is only sensible to conclude that the “worthless and elementary principles of the world”, the observing of days, months, seasons, and years are not the sabbaths but rather the pagan holidays.

Eli Soriano is not a “sensible preacher” in his definition of “Adventist” because he used an out of this world definition and never even supported by historical facts. It’s just his fantasy.
