And all this in flat denial of the plain teaching of Scripture that the Lord Jesus, having offered one sacrifice for sins, has sat down on the right hand of God, having by His one offering perfected forever them that are sanctified.
Mrs. White says: " For eighteen centuries this work of ministration continued in the first apartment of the sanctuary. The blood of Christ, pleaded in behalf of penitent believers, secured their pardon and acceptance with the Father, yet their sins still remained upon the book of record."
Do Seventh-Day Adventists expect sensible people to believe such nonsense? Fancy pardon and acceptance secured, and yet sins remaining on record. It is as sensible as talking of a statesman, flung into prison for life, receiving a free pardon, and being restored to favor by his Sovereign, yet left to languish indefinitely in chains. Nor is this the worst that Mrs. White's fertile imagination leads her to. So immediately follows: "As in the typical service there was a work of atonement at the close of the year, so before Christ's work for the redemption of men is completed there is work of atonement for the removal of sins from the Sanctuary. This is the service which began when the 2,300 days were ended."
So according to Mrs. White, the work of atonement is not completed. This in spite of the loud cry, " IT IS FINISHED," uttered by the blessed Savior on the cross.
