I have studied the word of God and have allowed the indwelling Spirit of Jesus Christ to lead me through scripture. The commandment to study given in 2 Timothy 2:15 is given so that every person will allow the will of God to teach them. It is not meant for us to study the teachings of others, no matter who that other is.
Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth.
But avoid worldly and empty chatter: for it will lead to further ungodliness, 2 Timothy 2:15, 16 NASB.
But avoid foolish controversies and genealogies and strife and disputes about the Law, for they are unprofitable and worthless. Titus 3:9. NASB.
I took 2 Timothy 2:15 to heart and began studying the bible with Christ leading me. However, I took my eyes off of scripture and off of Christ and I became caught up in arguing over the Law. I allowed other people to influence my thoughts. I do not agree with many of the teachings of the Seventh Day Adventist church, but I allowed myself to be caught in the web of ungodliness, vainly striving about the Law.
With this being noted, I offer my apology to SDA'S, and other Christian's, and I seek forgiveness from such.
This is an open apology to all of the Seventh Day Adventist body. I offer this apology with the recognition that I have taken my eyes off of Christ Jesus and I have allowed the flesh nature of myself to enter into the ungodliness of disputing a group of people. I have done this without intent to destroy, but regardless of my motives I have sinned against you, myself, and God. Please forgive me for trying to tear down rather then build up.
Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. Ephesians 4:29. KJV.
I am guilty before you all. Forgive me.
The Holy Spirit has prompted me to seek the forgiveness of those people that I have not communicated with in a manner that edifies, that builds up, to seek an avenue of reconciliation.
I would much rather see all believers focusing on that which saves. Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ alone saves all men that believe upon His name and that profess Him as Lord and Savior of their life.
I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.
And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. John 12:46, 47. KJV.
