REDLANDS: Tennessee man arrested in dispute with Adventists

It is so disgusting that two men have been arrested and jailed for obeying God. And this is at the behest of the Seventh-Day Adventist church who has so long stood for freedom of conscience - also in the United States, which was founded for freedom of religion.

Look at what this world has come to!

Truly Christ must be coming back to rescue His own very soon!

Yet another member of the Creation Seventh Day Adventist Church has been imprisoned for the "Faith of Yahshua," and the open protest for freedom of religion in the United States of America, and the world. We anticipate that Brother Lucan Chartier will be held for about 10 days, and then released, at which time the work of evangelism will continue.

Brother Chartier will, as Pastor McGill before him, be fasting from solid food during the time of his incarceration. Pastor McGill has, at this point in time, been held for 20 days, and the General Conference Corporation of Seventh Day Adventists has made no comment except for the inaccuracy-riddled press release where they attempt to justify their wanton disregard for the principles of Protestantism and basic Christian charity. While we appreciate the sympathetic responses some have expressed toward us, and our imprisoned brothers in particular, we urge those who are involved in this action - even tangentially - to examine the state of their faith, and their willingness to be partakers of the sins of prideful and wicked men.

While some have said that in a world of murders, abortions and general lawlessness, the incarceration of two men for a few days does not amount to so great an event in the context of religious history. We urge those who are of this position to see the world with spiritual eyes, and understand that this is nothing less than the crucifixion afresh of the Messiah in the person of His servants. In addition to the precedent which this sets - the end of the remaining fragments of true religions freedom in the United States - we must remember the words of the Savior and Judge, who will say in the Day of Reckoning, "Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done [this] unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me." (Matthew 25:40)

Why dont they go arrest the REAL imposters who are currently occupying leadership positions in the local SDA churches rather than this man. I bet the odds 10:1 that you would be more likely to hear a real SDA sermon in that Creation church long before you hear one in Loma Linda or Redlands.

When was the last time you heard a sermon in Loma Linda or red lands on one of these SDA foundation messages for the world:

Three Angels Messages
The Sanctuary
Who and what is the Mark of the Beast
Jesus is Coming Very Soon....Get Ready!
The Nature of Christ
Health Messages

Better yet, ask your Pastor to preach a series on any one of those.
Listen go their answer.

The truth is ... is that REAL SDA Pastors have been fired if they have not agreed to NOT preach on those topics.
