SDA Church Not Babylon
• Of those who boast of their light and yet fail to walk in it

Christ says, "But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable
for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment than for you. And
thou, Capernaum [Seventh-day Adventists, who have had
great light], which art exalted unto heaven [in point of
privilege], shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty
works which have been done in thee had been done in
Sodom, it would have remained until this day."--RH Aug. 1,
1893. [THE BRACKETED COMMENTS ARE BY ELLEN
WHITE.] {LDE 48.2}
• The church is in the Laodicean state. The presence of
God is not in her midst.--1NL 99 (1898). {LDE 49.1}
• [Revelation 18:1, 2, 4, quoted.] This scripture points
forward to a time when the announcement of the fall of
Babylon, as made by the second angel of Revelation 14
(verse 8), is to be repeated, with the additional mention of
the corruptions which have been entering the various
organizations that constitute Babylon, since that message
was first given, in the summer of 1844. . . . These
announcements, uniting with the third angel's message,
constitute the final warning to be given to the inhabitants of
the earth. . . . {LDE 199.2}
• --GC 603, 604, 606 (1911). {LDE 199.3}
• My brother, if you are teaching that the Seventh-day
Adventist Church is Babylon, you are wrong.--TM 50, 58,
59 (1893). [THE BOOK OF REVELATION FOCUSES ON
TWO SETS OF GOD'S PEOPLE--THE VISIBLE
REMNANT (12:17) AND "MY PEOPLE" IN BABYLON
(18:4). THIS CHAPTER DEALS WITH THE FORMER,
AND CHAPTER 14, "THE LOUD CRY," DEALS WITH
THE LATTER.] {LDE 43.3}
• The Lord has not given you a message to call the Seventh-
day Adventists Babylon, and to call the people of God to
come out of her. All the reasons you may present cannot
have weight with me on this subject, because the Lord has
given me decided light that is opposed to such a message. . .
. {LDE 51.2}
• I know that the Lord loves His church. It is not to be
disorganized or broken up into independent atoms. There is
not the least consistency in this; there is not the least
evidence that such a thing will be.--2SM 63, 68, 69 (1893).
{LDE 51.3}
• I tell you, my brethren, the Lord has an organized body
through whom He will work. . . . When anyone is drawing
apart from the organized body of God's commandment-
keeping people, when he begins to weigh the church in his
human scales and begins to pronounce judgment against
them, then you may know that God is not leading him. He is
on the wrong track.--3SM 17, 18 (1893). {LDE 51.4}
• Those who assert that the Seventh-day Adventist churches
constitute Babylon, or any part of Babylon, might better stay
at home. Let them stop and consider what is the message to
be proclaimed at this time. In place of working with divine
agencies to prepare a people to stand in the day of the Lord,
they have taken their stand with him who is an accuser of
the brethren, who accuses them before God day and night.
Satanic agencies have been moved from beneath, and they
have inspired men to unite in a confederacy of evil, that they
may perplex, harass, and cause of the people of God great
distress. TM p37
• "My brother, if you are teaching that the Seventh-day
Adventist Church is Babylon, you are wrong, God has
not given you any such message to bear. Satan will
use every mind to which he can attain access,
inspiring men to originate false theories or go off on
some wrong tangent, that he may create a false
excitement, and thus divert souls from the true issue
for this time. I presume that some may be deceived by
your message, because they are full of curiosity and
desire for some new thing. TM p.58
• "My brother, I learn that you are taking the position that the
Seventh-day Adventist Church is Babylon, and that all that
would be saved must come out of her. You are not the only
man the devil has deceived in this matter. For the last forty
years, one man after
another has arisen, claiming that the Lord has sent him with
the same message; but let me tell you, as I have told them,
that this message you are proclaiming is one of the satanic
delusions designed to create confusion among the churches.
{TM 58.4}
• Those who have proclaimed the Seventh-day Adventist
Church as Babylon, have made use of the Testimonies in
giving their position a seeming support; but why is it that
they did not present that which for years has been the burden
of my message--the unity of the church? Why did they not
quote the words of the angel, "Press together, press together,
press together"? Why did they not repeat the admonition and
state the principle, that "in union there is strength, in division
there is weakness"? TM p.56
• To claim that the Seventh-day Adventist Church is Babylon,
is to make the same claim as does Satan, who is an accuser
of the brethren, who accuses them before God night and
day. TM p. 42.
• If those who have been proclaiming the message that the
church is Babylon had used the money expended in
publishing and circulating this error, in building up, instead
of tearing down, they would have made it evident that they
were the people whom God is leading. {TM 43.1}
• The message that has been borne by those who have

proclaimed the church to be Babylon has made the
impression that God has no church upon earth. {TM 44.3}
• There is but one church in the world who are at the present
time standing in the breach, and making up the hedge,
building up the old waste places; and for any man to call the
attention of the world and other churches to this church,
denouncing her as Babylon, is to do a work in harmony with
him who is the accuser of the brethren. TM 51
• Those who are carrying this message of error, denouncing
the church as Babylon, are neglecting their God-appointed
work, are in opposition to organization, in opposition to the
plain command of God spoken by Malachi in regard to
bringing all the tithes into the treasury of God's house, and
imagine that they have a work to do in warning those whom
God has chosen to forward His message of truth. TM p.53
• " The church of Christ, enfeebled and
defective as it may be, is the only object
on earth on which He bestows His
supreme regard."— " Testimonies to
Ministers," p. 15.
