Was Le Roy Froom the main person responsible for bringing the doctrine of the Trinity to the church?
Seventh-day Adventist?
How was the central doctrine of the Catholic Church introduced as a doctrine of faith of the
Seventh-day Adventist Church?
It is a surprise for many to discover that LeRoy Froom was the main person responsible for introducing the
Trinitarian doctrine in the Adventist Church, with the aim and purpose of promoting its acceptance and
establish it in the beliefs of the church.

He dedicated himself to searching through 100,000 pages that contained the writings of Ellen White (250,000,000 words)
something that could be misinterpreted and used in the doctrine of the Trinity, and I managed to find
a few quotes that he reasoned could fulfill this purpose. He immediately placed these quotes in
his libcall: 'Evangelism'.

Most people think that the book called Evangelism is a book written by Ellen White, but
It was actually written and compiled by Froom in 1946, 30 years after the death of Ellen White.

With the intention to deceive, Froom placed these quotes from Ellen White in his book Evangelism where she
had written 'third person', 'three powers', 'triple celestial', etc. but all these quotes actually do
they refer to the Spirit of Christ and not to another being.

This is how he finally managed to deceive the entire Adventist Church, as people do not take the time
necessary to investigate and know what Ellen White wrote about this. In fact, she wrote
anti-Trinitarian statements throughout his life until before his death; this is because it is very easy to
confirm if people only take their time to search without having prejudices or ideas
preconceived.

Looking through all her writings, we found that there was consistency in everything she wrote. She says
that the third person is the Spirit of Christ; the third great power is the Spirit of Christ; the third greatest
power is the Spirit of Christ; the living third person is the Spirit of Christ; the Spirit of truth is the
Spirit of Christ; the Comforter is the Spirit of Christ; the Spirit that Jesus breathed upon his disciples was
His Spirit; the Holy Spirit sent as his representative; was his own Spirit; the Spirit given in
Pentecost was its own Spirit; and Ellen White reveals time and again that there are only two beings in the
Deity. All we have to do is wish and seek the truth, stop reading LeRoy's quotes.
Compiled with the mindset of a Trinitarian.

The early pioneers had no problem with these few quotes that Froom had found.
because they knew who the Holy Spirit was. They would never read these quotes incorrectly. But if
our belief is that the Holy Spirit is another being, so naturally it is what we would find in
read these quotes.

It is also important to note that LeRoy Froom did not start his research with the Bible, followed by the
the study of the writings of Ellen White, on the contrary, began with the writings of Ellen White to address
to find support for his belief. The reality is that Froom's belief in the Trinity and the Holy Spirit
wine from outside the faith of the Adventist church, and then he decided to support his belief with
statements extracted from the spirit of prophecy.

The reason why LeRoy Froom had to go to external sources instead of using the scriptures of
our pioneers, it is because none of them were Trinitarians, and therefore were in complete
disagreement with Froom's opinions; this is also the reason why Froom had to wait for
Ellen White and the rest of the pioneers passed away before he tried to achieve his goal.

Froom declared that the trinitarian belief was a new and greater light about deity.

How could this be a greater light, as they currently call it, seventy-one years later?

Let's read the following excerpt from the book Movement of Destiny written by LeRoy Froom.

I found myself obliged to seek out a score of valuable books written by men outside our faith, those
that they had previously published on this topic–seeking–initial clues and suggestions" (LeRoy
Froom, Movement of Destiny page 32

In this book 'Movement of Destiny', published in 1971, he tells us how he came to write about the
theme of the Holy Spirit and the Trinity. How much of what was written is true? We do not know by taking in
count other factors.

He claims that what he calls the 'truth of the trinity' is an inevitable evolution in our theology to
root of the Conference of 1888 and its message.

He concludes, in his brief account, stating that the book 'The Desired of All Nations' constitutes a
"inspired representation" of the doctrine of the Trinity, and for this reason it has become the "position
"accepted" within our denomination; however, The Desire of All Nations is filled with
non-Trinitarian statements.

LeRoy Froom even boasted that the "Desire of Ages" was published in a
prominent Catholic newspaper.

Here are his own words:

The Desired of all people, of course, presents an inspired description, and as a consequence, it
converted into the denominationally accepted position... "The Desire of all nations is one of the
most esteemed books of the denomination, a recognized classic book, even published in a magazine
catholic just like "Universal News from Fatima" for September 1965. (Movement of Destiny,
page 323-324

If he supposedly professed to be a Seventh-day Adventist, why would he be so proud of the

The video 'Jesuits in the Seventh-day Adventist Church' contains a testimony claiming that LeRoy
Froom and Roy Anderson were seen working as Catholic priests before entering the church
Seventh-day Adventist; this would explain Froom's enthusiasm for the Catholic magazine.

Then we have the matter of the book 'Triumphant Truth' written by the Adventist theologian named B.G.
Wilkinson. This book is a comprehensive study of the history of the Church of God in the wilderness and contains
statements against the Catholic Church. Froom was angry about this book and ordered the
destruction of the printing plates so that the book would not be reprinted.

Wilkinson was 80 years old at that time and could not afford to have the ...
plates again. Why would an Adventist do such a thing? unless of course, they are a Catholic. Something is
very bad here and we are inclined to believe in the testimony of the video.

On December 14, 1955, LeRoy Froom wrote in a letter to Reuben Figuhr: "I was denounced
publicly in the chapel of the missionary college of Washington by Dr. B.G Wilkinson as the man
more dangerous in our denomination.” This happened in the mid-1940s. We believe that Dr. B.G.
Wilkinson had very good reasons to say this, for this reason Froom was extremely
dissatisfaction.

The following letter from Froom reveals his agenda to try to convince others that Ellen White was
a trinitarian, with the sole purpose of ensuring that the church followed its direction.

Below is the letter sent to Roy Allen Anderson revealing his intention and purpose. The bad
Misunderstood and abused quotes from Ellen White are still used today to pervert the truth.

I am sure we agree on the evaluation of the book, The Evangelism, as one of the great
contributions in which the Ministerial Association participated in those days. You know the reaction it had.

unequivocal statements of the spirit of prophecy in relation to the Deity of Christ, the personality of

of these quotes, under the stimulus of men like the elder Branson, who felt that the concept
anterior of the trustees of the White center about this book The Evangelism was not appropriate (letter
from LeRoy Froom to Roy A. Anderson, January 18, 1966

Froom found 'each' important statement of Ellen White that could be abused and misunderstood;
this means that he literally had to look at everything she wrote

Is it possible that he was so deceived that he didn't notice the difference between a trinitarian statement and a
Anti-Trinitarian? The possibility is highly unlikely.

He had no trouble finding every statement that could be misinterpreted, therefore he had
to know the difference.

That means Froom saw the tens of thousands of non-Trinitarian statements she wrote throughout.
of her whole life, and he also knew that she wrote anti-Trinitarian statements until before her
death.

LeRoy Froom should have known that Ellen White never became a Trinitarian. How could it be?
That everything he did was not intentional?

Ask yourself what the following eleven points reveal about LeRoy Froom:

Froom primarily looked for sources outside the Adventist Church to support his agenda,
Although what he found helped him in his initial stage, these writers could only go so far.

search.

2- He searched through 100,000 pages (25,000,000 words) of writings by Ellen White for anything
that could be misunderstood.

3- He wrote his book The Evangelism after a trip to the Vatican, where he included all the quotes.

4- When Adventists use these quotes, they almost always reference Froom's book as the source of
information, however the quotes do not belong to him; he did not write them, he only compiled them
information. Consequently, the majority of Adventists believe that the book The Evangelism
it was written by Ellen White, promoting the deception much more.

6- He wrote that "The Desired of All Nations" constitutes an "inspired representation" of the
doctrine of the Trinity and for this reason it is accepted by the church.

"The Desired of All Nations" is an anti-Trinitarian book, proven through all the
anti-Trinitarian declarations contained in it, once again promoting deception.

8-Froom ordered the destruction of the printing plates of the book 'The Triumphant Truth' written by the
Dr. B. G. Wilkinson, as he revealed many truths about the Catholic Church.

9- It is alleged that Froom was previously seen acting as a Catholic priest before entering into
the Adventist Church.

10- Dr. B.G. Wilkinson publicly denounced Froom as the most dangerous man in the Church.

11- Froom wrote a letter indicating how he was able to change the beliefs of the church with the
quotes from the spirit of prophecy that he found.

Ellen White said that serious errors would enter the Adventist Church after her death. Revelation
12:17 declares that Satan will make war against the remnant of God.

So how far will Satan go? Could it be possible that some Adventist pastors have the...
the spirit of Satan thinking they have the Holy Spirit? Most of you would probably say
no.

Let's read what inspiration tells us:

I saw that Satan was working through agents, in countless ways. He was
working through the ministers, who have rejected the truth and are given over to a power
deceptively strong, to believe a lie and thus be condemned. While they were preaching, u
praying some fell prostrate and helpless; not by the power of the Holy Spirit, no, no; but by the
power of Satan blowing over these agents and through them to the people. Some who profess to be
Adventists, who had rejected the present truth, while preaching, praying or in
conversations, they used mesmerism to gain followers; and people rejoiced in this
influence, because they thought it was the Holy Spirit. Even some who used mesmerism,
they were in such darkness and deception of the devil, that they themselves thought it was the power of God,
given to them to exercise it.” (Ellen White, Review and Herald, August 1, 1849)
