There is only one God and that is not Michael Bent...

You all should have made it crystal clear that Michael Travesser and his beliefs are not in keeping with the Seventh-day Adventist Church.

I was born again and if this guy is God I am Jesus!

The cult operates a website that is rather large where they display their prophecy and beliefs.

The Group is Seventh-day Adventists who left the main body because they believe the SDA Church is now part of the Babylon system of worship or false.

The Group believes that Jesus Christ, prior to Incarnation existed as St. Michael the Arcangel and after God's spirit came into him, Michael "became" the Son of God. This caused Satan who was equal in rank to Jesus to get mad and start a war in heaven where Satan was ejected.

The cult leader does not claim to be God only that God gave him a special honor in the same way God gave Michael the angel a special honor. It gets pretty odd after this. According to the group the Holy Ghost keeps the repentant sinner free from sin so that person "never" sins again and remains in a sinless state after that.

The cult claims that real SDA's must come out of Babylon and say that the Trinity is the omega of evil and that Saturday is the day Christians should worship on instead of Sunday. They claim the Pope changed the day in some way.

I watched an interview of some people who live in the town outside of the compound and they said the cult members were very nice and quiet people who only taked about health related topics outside the compound.

They practice zero flesh meats or something like that where no meat is allowed into the compound.

There was also an interview on Larry King Live about this group.

National Geographic! You guys are awesome. I ordered several of your DVD's about animals and am going to order your DVD about the doomsday book that was just on last week. Keep them coming.

takomaguy, this is the type of offshoots that the SDA church and your church's prophet (Ellen G. White), who is regarded as an extra-Biblical 'authoritative source of authority for truth' produces. I was raised in an SDA home and was an SDA pastor. It may not reflect on official beliefs or fundamental beliefs directly, but it is a definite by-product of your prophets extensive writings (17 times more volumous that the Bible!). Of course you're going to get people like Travesser and David Koresh that take extra-Biblical apocalyptic writings like that to their natural extreme.

Stick to the true Gospel found in Scripture alone without the jaded influence of personal prophets.

The Seventh-day Adventist Church from what I know of it does not support the breeding of minor girls. It's true that a large number of believers within Adventism understand that Jesus is in fact Michael the Angel. This was a common understanding by sects who reject the Trinity Doctrine of Historic Christianity in favor of a "godhead". Jehovah's Witnesses was founded by a man who left the early SDA Church at a time the SDA Church was openly Arian. The Adventist Church now lists the Trinity as a fundamental belief so these Strong City people may talk, walk and look like SDA's but are simply one of the many offshoots the Church has given birth to.

I'm SDA and havae been all my life. I am currently 39 years of age and I can assure you that Michael Travesser has nothing in common with the teachings of SDA. No where in the Bible does God talk about the things Michael talks about. This is just unfortunately a man that got caught up in his own glory and falsehood to the point of believing he is Jesus. For those who do study the word of God, it clear when Jesus himself stated:Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. (16) You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? (17) Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. (1 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. (19) Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. (20) Therefore by their fruits you will know them. Matthew 7:15-20. We should pray for these people and hope that their eyes will be opened to see the truth.
