In your Avatar it says you 'accept' the doctrine of the Trinity, which means The Godhead is made up of 3 co-equal Persons, God The Father, God The Son, and God The Holy Spirit.

SDA teaches against the Trinity of the Godhead. So is that what you intend to support here with posting a broadcast from 3ABN network created and ran by SDA (Seventh Day Adventists)?

Since I hear people claiming the SDA doesn't believe in the trinity I looked their official statement of belief up and found this: https://adventist.org/beliefs.

#2 begins with "There is one God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, a unity of three coeternal Persons."


That leads me to believe that they officially believe in the Trinity, the Triune God, in the same manner most all Christian denominations do.

I believe Frank answered your question but yes, I do believe in the Trinity, the Godhead, whatever word you want to use. I believe in Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior, that God sent Him to Earth to atone for the sins of the world by crucfixion on the cross, that on the third day he was resurrected and later ascended back to Heaven and that, afterward God sent the Holy Spirit to guide and comfort His disciples on this Earth.

So yes, I do believe in the Trinity, SetFree.

Frank, you'd be surprised at the criticisms Adventists have dealt with over the history of our denomination; thankfully, since the late 1950's its' been essentially settled that, heterodox beliefs notwithstanding (such as worshiping on the Sabbath instead of Sunday and Adventist rejection of the immortality of the soul, for example) most Christian denominations accept Seventh-Day Adventists as part of the broader Christian world.

Back in the early 1950's two individuals, Walter Martin and Donald Barnhouse, met with Adventist leaders over the course of a few years and afterward Martin wrote the seminal work Questions on Doctrine, which effectively settled the question of "are Adventists truly a part of the Christian faith?" (There's a great podcast, Adventist History, Frank, that touches on QoD and the question/questions above.

....

But do you believe the Scriptures that says Jesus of Nazareth is "Emmanuel", "God with us", i.e. that Jesus is God?
