The SDA Clear Word Bible

EXPOSED!

"Beware of false prophets, which cometo you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly

they are ravening wolves." -Matthew7:15

The "Clear Word Bible," printed by the Seventh-Day Adventists, is of theDevil. It certainly is NO Bible. The "Adventist Bible" is by far one of themost blasphemous undertakings ever published. After much outrage bymany people, the SDA Church is saying that the "book" is not a "Bible" atall. It is evident that the SDA Church has accomplished several distinctthings here on the Bible jacket/cover (seen below).

1. They call the book a "Bible," and use the word Bible, no less than fourteentimes on the cover jacket.

2. No place on the book cover or jacket (or anywhere I can find inside), does thephrase "Seventh-day Adventist" appear. SDA's are known for hiding their trueidentity.

3. Every paragraph inside the book is laid out just like other "Bibles" withchapter and verse numbers.

The Clear Word Bible Horribly Perverts Deuteronomy5:3!

Deuteronomy 5:3 in the King James Bible reads...

"The LORD made not this covenant with our fathers, but with us, evenus, who are all of us here alive this day."

Clearly, the King James Bible teaches that the Sabbath Day was given by God to aspecific people (the Jews), during in specific time period (the Old Testament), in aspecific region (Palestine)... "The LORD made not this covenant with our fathers, butwith us, even us, who are all of us here alive this day."

Now notice the same verse from the "SDA Bible," i.e., the Clear Word Bible...

"It wasn't only with our ancestors that He made a covenant, but with usand with all who are alive today."

LIARS! Read those two verses again and notice the 180 degree difference. The REALBible says that the Lord did not make this covenant with their ancestors. The SDAbible clearly states the opposite. This naturally leads to some disturbing and indicting

questions:

1. Why did the Adventist's change the meaning of Deuteronomy 5:3 to read thecomplete opposite of what ALL other Bibles read in Deuteronomy 5:3? (look foryourself)

2. How many other verses in their "Bible" did they change?

The SDA's NEVER quote the Ten Commandments from Deuteronomy because ofDeuteronomy 5:3, which clearly exposes Seventh-Day Adventist as a false religion.Adventists teach that the Ten Commandments were not first given at Sinai, but weregiven to Adam and Eve before the fall of man, before sin began. As evidenced, SDA'swere willing to corrupt God's Word in a malicious attempt to justify a false doctrine.This is true of many cults, such as Roman Catholicism, which corrupts the TenCommandments. If you read the official Catholic Catechism, you'll find that they've

eliminated the 2nd Commandment which forbids BOWING to idols. To compensate forthe missing 2nd Commandment, they've split the 10th Commandment into two. This iswoeful deception!

The Seventh-Day Adventist Deception

SDA is straight out of the pits of Hell. From their false doctrine ofInvestigativeJudgment, to their perverting of Deuteronomy 5:3, SDA is BAD NEWS! Many Christiangroups still consider Seventh-day Adventists to be part of mainstream Christianity;BUT, they are of the Devil. It is time that Evangelicals Christians everywhere stand upand speak out against the damnable false religion of SDA.




5/12

Bible scholar, former SDA Pastor, Dale Ratzlaff says on his web site:

Many Christian groups still consider Seventh-day Adventists to be part ofmainstream Christianity. It is time that Evangelicals everywhere stand up andspeak up about the multitude ofdeliberate, destructive changes to the Word ofGod in SDA's popular Clear Word Bible.

The gravity ofdeliberatelychanging the meaning of God's word cannot beoveremphasized! Psalm 138 equates the sacredness of God's Word with His holy name,

"Thou hast magnified Thy word according to all Thy name." Deuteronomy 4:2 says,"You shall not add to the wordwhich I am commanding you, nor take away from it"Proverbs 30:5, 6 states, "Every word of God is testedDo not add to His words lest Hereprove you, and you be proved a liar." Since God's Word ispure and truth (Ps. 12:6;John 17:17) any changes to His Word will ultimately change the truth of God into a liewith resulting disastrous consequences. (Rom. 1:25ff; Ezek. 5:6; Rev. 22:18,19; 21:8).

We should inquire as to whyanyone would want to make numerous additions,deletions and changes to God's word. True, we allow paraphrases take certain libertyin loosely rendering God's word with the goal to make it plain for our generation.

However, when a paraphrase sets out to deliberately distort the truth of God's Word,then what? The fact that additions, deletions and changes "need" to be made is a clearsign of doctrinal weakness if not outright error. We will soon see that The Clear WordBible has changed God's Word so that it supports Adventist doctrines in general andwritings of their prophetess, Ellen G. White, in particular. Her writings are still held bythe SDA church to be "a continuing and authoritative source of truth" (FundamentalBeliefs of Seventh-day Adventists, No. 17).

The Clear Word Bible compared to The King JamesBible

Following are just a few examples where the Clear Word Bible corrupts the statementsof Scripture to make it line up with Adventist theology. We will compare the CWB TheClear Word Bible with the KJB (King James Bible).

Seventh Day Sabbath

Adventists teach that seventh-day Sabbath keeping is the seal of God and will becomethe final test of loyalty to Christ for all Christians.

Genesis 2:2-3

KJB - "And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested

on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. And God blessed the seventhday, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which Godcreated and made."

CWB- "Then on the seventh day of creation week, God stopped to enjoy what He hadmade and to rest in the beauty of it all. So He blessed the seventh day and set it apartas a day of spiritual refreshment and joy."

The CWB makes the seventh day part of "creation week" rather than a celebration of afinishedcreation.

Exodus 5:5




6/12

KJB - "And Pharaoh said, Behold, the people of the land now are many, and ye makethem rest from their burdens."

CWB - "You've created enough problems by making them rest every week on yourSabbath"

Exodus 16:5

KJB - "And it shall come to pass, that on the sixth day they shall prepare that whichthey bring in; and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily."

CWB - "On the sixth day they should gather twice as much as on the other days so as tohave enough for the seventh day, which is the Sabbath, the day I set aside for worshipand rest."

Exodus 31:13-16

KJB - "Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my sabbaths ye shallkeep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye mayknow that I am the LORD that doth sanctify you. Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore;

for it is holy unto you: every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death: forwhosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.

Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to theLORD: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbaththroughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant."

CWB - Say to the people, "Most importantly, remember to keep the Sabbath holybecause it is a very special day for me, and it's a day of rest for you. It's a signbetween you and me for all time to show that you are the people whom I have chosen

and set apart. The Sabbath is holy and anyone who desecrates it be working on thatday will be put do death, since that would be an act of treason against God'sgovernment. My people are to keep the Sabbath, celebrating it as a sign that theybelong to me."

Note how the CW has changed "Israel" to "people" to make it appear that the Sabbathis intended for all people, not just for Israel, as Scripture teaches. It has also changed"put to death" to "an act of treason against God's government." Verse 16 in the CWBhas corrupted Scripture by leaving out "celebrate the sabbath throughout theirgenerations as a perpetual covenant" to My people" This is a clear, purposeful

twisting of God's word to make it appear the Sabbath was a universal institution for allpeople.

Leviticus 23:3

KJB - "Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, an holyconvocation; ye shall do no work therein: it is the sabbath of the LORD in all yourdwellings."

CWB - "There has always been the weekly Sabbath"

Hebrews 4:4

KJB - "For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did restthe seventh day from all his works."

CWB - "That's why at creation He gave man the seventh-day Sabbath, not only as areminder of creation week, but also as a symbol of spiritual rest. According to theScriptures, God Himself rested on the seventh day and enjoyed this special time withman."




7/12

Note that the CW states "according to the Scriptures" and then adds fantastic thingsnot in the Scriptures!

Hebrews 4:9

KJB - "There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God."

CWB - "So there still remains the offer of spiritual rest that God intends for eachgeneration to have, of which the Sabbath is a symbol."

Note how the CW has twisted this verse! (See Sabbath in Crisis, P. 233-248 for a fullexegesis of this text.)

Acts 20:7

KJB - "And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to breakbread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued hisspeech until midnight."

CWB - "After sundown on Saturday night, the believers got together for a fellowshipmeal and to say good-by to Paul. That evening he spoke to them until midnight, afterwhich he hoped to get a few hours sleep before leaving early Sunday morning."

Note how the CW calls this a Saturday night meeting, changes "break bread," a termused by the early church for communion, to a fellowship meal and to say good-by to

Paul. This twisting of Scripture completely changes the force of this verse to fitAdventist theology.

Colossians 2:16

Colossians 2:16 is a very important verse in that it shows clearly that the Seventh-day

Sabbath is only a shadow of Christ. This verse should be studied in its context and alsocompared to its Old Testament Parallel, Ezekiel 45:17 (below). When the terms"festival (or equivalent), new moons and Sabbaths are used together in the OldTestament, the word Sabbath always refers to the Seventh-day Sabbath. Also, theseterms are usually used in either ascending or descending sequence: festival (yearly)

new moons (monthly) Sabbaths (weekly) or Sabbaths (weekly), new moons (monthly),festivals (yearly). These two well established patterns make it certain that the

Seventh-day Sabbath is in view in Colossians 2:16 and this fact undermines the wholeSDA emphasis on the seventh-day Sabbath. Note how they have twisted bothColossians 2:16 as well as the Old Testament parallel text, Ezekiel 45:17. They havetried to make the term "Sabbaths" refer to the special yearly feasts and in so doinghave made Paul redundant. They have also mixed up the wording so the apparentascending or descending sequence is broken, thus twisting this verse in two ways to fittheir doctrine and corrupt the truth of God's word.

Colossians 2:16,17

KJB - "Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an

holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: Which are a shadow of things tocome; but the body is of Christ."

CWB - "Don't let anyone control you life by giving you a set of ceremonial rules aboutwhat to eat, what to drink and what monthly festivals or special Sabbaths to keep. Allthese rules were given as a shadow of the reality to come and that reality is JesusChrist."

Ezekiel 45:17

KJB - "And it shall be the prince's part to give burnt offerings, and meat offerings, and




8/12

drink offerings, in the feasts, and in the new moons, and in the sabbaths, in allsolemnities of the house of Israel: he shall prepare the sin offering, and the meatoffering, and the burnt offering, and the peace offerings, to make reconciliation for

the house of Israel."

CWB - "It will be his duty to provide these national offerings on all appointed festivals

with their special Sabbaths, including the monthly festival of the New Moon. He is tobring grain offerings, whole burnt offerings and peace offerings for an atonement forthe nation as a whole."

Revelation 1:10

KJB - "I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day..."

CWB - On Sabbath morning when I had gone to the rocky island shore to meditate andworship

One can see by the examples listed above that The Clear Word Bible makes deletions,additions and twists the Word of God to make the Bible teach what it does not teach:required universal observance of the seventh-day Sabbath for all peoples--Adventistdoctrine.

Death and HellAdventists, like Jehovah Witnesses, believe in soul sleep and do not believe in Hell.Note how they have changed the word of God to fit their corrupt theology.

Isaiah 66:24

KJB - "And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that havetransgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire bequenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh."

CWB - They will see the dead bodies of those who have rebelled against me lyingoutside the city. It will be an abhorrent sight. But just as worms don't stop until they

devour the dead and fire doesn't stop until it destroys, so the fires of the Lord will

destroy the wicked and consume them all."Christ quotes this verse on several occasions. However, neverdoes He give thisinterpretation to it. Rather, He uses it as a description of Hell.

In Matthew 5:22, 29, 30 the CWB changes "fiery hell" to "lose eternal life."

Matthew 10:28

KJB - "And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: butrather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell."

CWB - "Don't be afraid that you might be killed. They can kill your body but not yourspirit or your loyalty to me. Now if there is some thing to be concerned about, it's thatyou don't lose your faith in God.

Matthew 18:9

KJB - "And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is better forthee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hellfire."

CWB - "If, for example, your eye places a wrong value on things, be willing to lose youreye to keep your moral innocence. If you have to make a choice, it's better not to begreat in this life and yet live forever than to lose your childlike innocence and haveeverything end with this life.




9/12

Note: Not only does this verse do away with "fiery hell" but it also inserts "moralinnocence" and "childlike innocence" not mentioned in Scripture.

Luke 16:19-30

This is the familiar word of Christ about the rich man and Lazarus. The CWB introducesteaching with these words: "You keep telling people theJewish fable about a richman"

Note: Philippians 1:23 is another text that undermines the Adventist doctrine of soul-sleep. Note how they have added words to this text to make it teach Adventistdoctrine.

Philippians 1:23

KJB - "For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be withChrist; which is far better:"

CWB - "So I've been wrestling with mixed emotions. On the one hand, I would prefer tobe sentenced to death and in the next moment of consciousness see Christ, which

would be much better than staying here in this old world."

Luke 23:43

KJB - "And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in

paradise."

CWB - "Jesus turned His head toward him and said, 'I promise you today, when I return

with the glory of my Father, I'll take you home with me to paradise.'"

Note: Luke 23:43 disagrees with the doctrine of soul-sleep held by Jehovah Witnesses

and Seventh-day Adventists. In the Jehovah Witness, New World Translation, theysimply changed the comma to change the meaning. The Clear Word Bible, howevercompletely changes the meaning of this verse.

Hebrews 12:23

KJB - "To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written inheaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,"

CWB - "We are just as much a part of the heavenly family as they are because we areGod's born-again children. Our names are written in the books of heaven, and we havethe spiritual rights of a firstborn. You have come into the presence of God, the Judgeof all the earth, to join righteous men and women who figuratively are already there."

Judgment

Daniel 8:14

KJB - "And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall thesanctuary be cleansed...'"

CWB - "He said to him, 'After two thousand three hundred prophetic days (or twothousand three hundred years), God will step in, proclaim the truth about Himself andrestore the ministry of the Sanctuary in heaven to its rightful place. This is when the

judgment will begin, of which the cleansing of the earthy sanctuary was a type.'"

Note: Daniel 8:14 is the central pillar of the Adventist faith. SDA Bible scholars knowthat the SDA doctrine of the Investigative Judgment cannot be found in this text. Notehow The Clear Word Bible makes Daniel 8:14 teach this Adventist false doctrine.

Jude 1:9




10/12

KJB - "Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed aboutthe body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lordrebuke thee."

CWB - "In contrast to these ungodly men is the Lord Jesus Christ, also called Michael,the archangel in charge of the entire angelic host. When He was challenged by Satanabout His intentions to resurrect Moses, He didn't come against Satan with a blistering

attack nor did he belittle him. He simply said, 'God rejects your claim to his body.'"Note: SDAs follow the teaching of Ellen White, and other cults, that Jesus Christ is

Michael the archangel.

Note: SDAs do not accept "the Lord's day" as being Sunday, even though this term was

used for Sunday by the early church fathers. Note how The Clear Word Bible boldlymakes this text say what it does not say.

Revelation 12:17

KJB - "And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with theremnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimonyof Jesus Christ.."

CWB - "Then the dragon became furious and decided to attack the last of the woman'schildren, those who keep the commandments of God and hold on to the truth revealedby the testimony of Jesus."

Note: Adventists have used Revelation 12:17 coupled with Revelation 19:10 (below) to

prove that the last-day church will have a living prophet, whom they believe to beEllen G. White. (even though she has been dead for many years). Her writings arecalled "the Spirit of Prophecy." In fact, one multi-volume set by Ellen White was evennamed "The Spirit of Prophecy."

Revelation 19:10

KJB - "And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: Iam thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worshipGod: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy."

CWB - "When I heard this, I fell on my knees in front of the angel to thank him, but heraised me up and said, 'Don't do that! Worship God, not me! I'm one of His servants,just as you are. I belong to those who, like you, hold on to Jesus' own testimony,which is the spirit of prophecy given by the Holy Spirit.'"

Note: for a fuller explanation of both Colossians 2:16, Revelation 12:17 and 19:10--See

Sabbath in Crisis.

One can readily see how this "Bible" which proclaims by its title, "Clear Word", to be

an accurate rendering of Scripture is perhaps, one of the most deceptive Bibles ofrecent times. For 150 years, Seventh-day Adventists have called Rome "the beast" forallegedly omitting 2 verses of the law against images. Yet now, without blush, theyhave made hundreds of destructive distortions in their own Clear Word Bible. Eachaddition is itself an admission to some part of their teaching that lacks Biblesupport. Each deletion and change likewise admits to some part of their teachingswhich the Bible refutes. These changes are made to uphold Ellen G. White'snonbiblical views. However by doing this, they place themselves above God Himself.

Amazingly, they who cried "wolf" against Rome, have instead proved to be the wolvesin sheep's clothing. In Revelation 14 God calls His people to come out of Babylon, "that




11/12

you do not partake of her plagues." "Babylon" pictures false religion and false religiouspractices. Any church that would alter God's Word which He says is "forever settled inheaven," or promotes a Bible which does, would be a candidate for the false religious

practices typified by "Babylon." Evangelicals were quick to condemn the Jehovah'sWitnesses for their New World Translation. However, the Clear Word Bible appears tobe riddled with mistranslations from beginning to end. May the same outcry travelthroughout Evangelical circles against the demonic Clear Word Bible!

The Study Bible

This Bible is printed by the Review and Harold Publishing Association, which is ownedand operated by the Seventh-day Adventist church and sold in Adventist Book Centersthroughout the country.

This is a large King James Bible with the writings of Ellen White below the Bible text.It also has many references to the writings of Ellen White which would be toonumerous to print. The real concern, however, is what is said in the preface.

We quote:

"The need for the Word today is even more urgent. Every wind of doctrine

blows (Eph 4:14). Satan is working 'with all power and signs and lyingwonders' (1 Thess 2:10). Deceptions are so great, that 'if it were possible,they shall deceive the very elect' (Matt 24:24). But God in his goodness hasonce again caused 'the testimony of Christ' to be confirmed in his church,

so that we 'come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of the Lord JesusChrist' (1 Cor. 1:6-7). His last day remnant people have had restoredthrough the ministry of Ellen G. White, 'the testimony of Jesus' which is 'thespirit of prophecy' (Rev. 12:17, 19:10). To combine this inspiredcommentary[my emphasis] with the Scriptures themselves is the purposeof this present volume"

The Sad ConclusionSeventh-Day Adventism is a demonic cult. Is it any wonder that more and moreEvangelical groups no longer consider SDAs as part of main-stream Christianity? Is it

any wonder that more and more Evangelical groups are considering at least onefaction (historic Adventism) of the SDA church cultic? Is it any wonder that manyAdventist pastors are leaving the SDA church? Is it any wonder that some SDA churchesare leaving the SDA denomination?

Truth needs no other foundation than honest investigation (using an accuratetranslation of Scriptures) under the guidance of the Holy Spirit and a willingness tofollow truth when it is discovered. Jesus taught us in John 5:39 to... SEARCH THESCRIPTURES!!!

The Clear Word Bible is blasphemous trash literature! The General Conference ofSeventh-Day Adventists should be ashamed of themselves, and repent of their

wickedness. Don't be fooled my friend, Seventh-Day Adventism is a godless religion.The fact that SDA's deny the deity of Jesus Christ, by claiming that Michael becameJesus, is reason enough to forsake this Satanic cult. Michael is an archangel (Jude1:9). Jesus Christ is Almighty God (Colossians 2:9; 1st Timothy 3:16; John 10:33), whocreated Michael (John 1:1-3). Michael DIDN'T become incarnate in the body of ourLord. The SDA Church is in league with the Jehovah's Witness cult concerning thisdamnable doctrine. Interestingly, SDA's and JW's will never teach these doctrines




12/12

publickly. I beg you if you are an SDA member, please consider the truth of God'sWord.
