A menudo pensamos en la supremacía blanca como el Ku Klux Klan y otros grupos violentos. Sin embargo, la evidencia histórica muestra que el segregacionismo también es un tipo de supremacía blanca. En el año 1890 la iglesia adventista votó una política de segregación racial que duró los siguientes 75 años. Robert M. Kilgore […] Source: https://atoday.org/la-supremacia-blanca-del-adventismo-cuando-la-iglesia-adventista-del-septimo-dia-adopto-una-politica-oficial-de-segregacion-racial/
Sabbath: Death in a Sinful World

Sabbath Afternoon
Read for This Week’s Study: Genesis 2:16-17; Genesis 3:1-7; Psalm 115:17; John 5:28-29; Romans 5:12; 2 Corinthians 5:21.
Memory Text: “Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned” (Romans 5:12, NKJV).
Christ was the Divine Agent through whom God brought the universe and the world into existence (John 1:1-3, John 1:10; Colossians 1:16; Hebrews 1:2). But when God the Father conferred special honor on Christ and announced that They together would create this world, “Lucifer was envious and jealous of Jesus Christ” (Ellen G. White, The Story of Redemption, p. 14) and plotted against Him.
Having been cast out of heaven, Satan decided “to destroy the happiness of Adam and Eve” on earth and thereby “cause grief in heaven.” He imagined that “if he could in any way beguile them [Adam and Eve] to disobedience, God would make some provision whereby they might be pardoned, and then himself and all the fallen angels would be in a fair way to share with them of God’s mercy.” — Ellen G. White, The Story of Redemption, p. 27. Fully aware of Satan’s strategy, God warned Adam and Eve not to expose themselves to temptation (Genesis 2:16-17). This means that even when the world was still perfect and blameless, there were already clear restrictions for human beings to obey.
This week we will reflect on the fall of Adam and Eve, on how sin and death took over our world, and on how God planted a seed of hope for humanity even back in Eden.
Study this week’s lesson to prepare for Sabbath, October 8.
Amen!

Why Is the Adventist Church Successful?
by Carsten Thomsen | 29 September 2022 | Some of the most long-lived organizations are churches and religious groups. Some of the great world religions are thousands of years old, and Christianity has been around for 2000 years. Adventism is less than two hundred years old, but has many characteristics of a long-lived, successful religion. […] Source: https://atoday.org/why-is-the-adventist-church-successful/
