In a world where individual voices often get mistaken for official church stances, we separate fact from fiction and authorized teaching from personal interpretation. We aim to help listeners—both Adventists and non-Adventists alike—understand: How the SDA Church actually develops and establishes its doctrinal pos ...

Veith's position elevates the Textus Receptus to the status of the "gold standard," essentially equa…
