Welcome to another podcast episode of "What's an Adventist?"

If someone walked into your church claiming to be a messenger from God, how would you know if you could believe their claims? 

Early in their history Adventists had to grapple with that dilemma when a young girl by the name of Ellen Harmon claimed to have dreams and visions that were divinely inspired. Contrary to what many may believe, Ellen Harmon (later known as Ellen G. White) was not quickly embraced by early Adventists. As a matter of fact, many were skeptical and were not willing to accept her messages unless they could find Biblical support for her claims. 

Today, despite her tremendous achievements and the evidence of good fruits produced by her ministry, Ellen G. White continues to be a controversial and highly scrutinized figure within and without Adventist circles.

This week Jesse Sias and WAA Contributor Roshan Mansinghani talk about the Biblical tests a person must pass if they are to be considered a prophet or messenger of God and begin a biographical journey to see whether this Advent pioneer can truly be considered a godly messenger.

WAA Podcast Episode 43: Fundamental Belief 1: The Holy Bible (1:1:42)

Welcome to another podcast episode of “What’s an Adventist?”

Through the ages the Bible has remained a controversial book, yet its impact on the course of history and individual lives is beyond dispute. Among Adventists, the Bible remains an spiritual authority and a true and literal record of God’s dealing with mankind. Adventists believe that the entire Bible from Genesis to Revelation is God’s inspired word and within its pages lies a spectacular revelation of God’s immutable will and holy character. 

Over the course of the next few months, WAA will be introducing a series of podcast commentaries dealing with the 28 fundamental beliefs of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church. This week Jesse Sias and WAA Contributor Abraham MIranda provide a commentary on the first fundamental belief of the SDA Church, “The Holy Scriptures.” (click on title to hear podcast)

WAA Podcast Episode 42: Commentary: Responding To Hard Times (56:33)

Welcome to another podcast episode of "What's an Adventist?"

Religion and politics in America have always closed the gap in times of hardship and crisis and as times get harder this union will become stronger. Recently, Texas Governor Rick Perry made national headlines as he appealed to Americans to invite Jesus to guide and lead our nation at an event in Houston, TX called, “The Response.”

This week Jesse Sias and Adventist Pastor Tony Gonzales provide a commentary on Governor Perry’s appeal to America’s Christians and the implications of church and state from an Adventist perspective as well as talk about ideas within Adventism that should never be compromised even when times get hard (click on title to listen to podcast).
