Nine Months Pregnant--The Seventh-day Adventist Church

This book has been written in hopes that God’s Word will make plain to every man, woman and youth, God’s will for the gospel order of leadership in His Remnant Church. It is our sincere desire that His will be made even more understandable in this matter of leadership as it is presented in an allegorical form—childbirth

To challenge the word of God by endeavoring to change its meaning about leadership and ordination is deception and nothing less than sin. The Bible was written by “Holy men of God“ as they were moved and taught by the Spirit of God. Most Christians believe just that. There are others who allude to this belief when it aligns with their own comfort zone, and when it does not, they try to adjust the word of God by adding to it, taking away from it or just stating, “I have a problem with that.” In this book we, by no means, will attempt to prove the verity of the word of God, the Bible, by using man-made tactics. We would never take the time or space to try and match our wits against those of the so-called intellectuals and theologians who disagree with the writers of the Bible. The Bible writers were given thoughts from God to give to the human race and, above all, to professed Christians. The Bible explains itself.

The book in your hand deals with issues that are viewed, not through the eyes of a scholar or theologian, but rather, through the eyes of a layman, who sits in the pew of the Seventh-day Adventist church. Rick Shorter, who for years was on the side of the Deceiver; doing his bidding in New York’s Show Business World of the Fifties and Sixties. In 1970, by God’s “Amazing Grace”, he was delivered, forgiven, baptized in the Manhattan SDA church, transformed, revived and reformed. As the author of this book, he draws his conclusions by using the Word of God (which interprets its self), a sprinkling of the Spirit of Prophesy admonitions, and his various, explosive, personal encounters and experiences in the world and in the church.
