Dr. Fred Mazzaferri's Page

I am grateful to Dr. Mazzaferri for permission to publish his outstanding research
exposing the non-biblical teachings of Ellen G. White and the SDA Church.

 About the author

Dr. Fred Mazzaferri is a freelance, Australian theologian who graduated initially as a telecommunications professional. He soon abandoned his prestigious research facility, however, to pursue his paramount interest in theology, finally graduating in 1986 in Aberdeen, Scotland. His specialty is the Book of Revelation.  As a busy author, above all, he retains a degree of sanity by cultivating Australian indigenous flora and dabbling in science, especially cosmology, digitronics and pure mathematics.

Six Essay Titles and The Gospel, 1844, and Judgment  A  Critical   Analysis Adult Sabbath School Bible Study Guide Third Quarter, 2006

1. Seventh-day Adventism's Dogma of an Investigative Judgment through Ellen White's Eyes. How biblical is Ellen White’s major dogma of an investigative judgment beginning with Adam in1844? Decide for yourself as Dr. Mazzaferri does a “building” inspection of this striking structure.

2. Not a Single Drop of Martyr Blood? The crisis of Confidence Threatening Ellen White's Devotees. A brief critique of Ellen White’s pioneer theology of the Book of Revelation. Does John really forecast her Church’s birth and mission? Read Dr. Mazzaferri’s careful critique and decide yourself. Most importantly, observe how Seventh-day Adventism’s purported prophet actually places those who sincerely and profoundly depend upon her for end-time guidance in grave spiritual peril.

3. Seventh-day Adventism's Upstart Doctrine of Determinism in the Books of Daniel and Revelation. Credit where credit is due! In its attempts to counter potent criticism of historicism, Seventh-day Adventism’s so-called Biblical Research Institute has recently endorsed the notion, popular with liberal theologians, that end-time prophecy is deterministic, not conditional. Dr. Mazzaferri verifies that, in doing so, it not only ignores the authoritative testimony of Holy Writ itself. To some extent it even gives lip service to its own profession to respect Ellen White’s prophetic authority!

4. One Furnace Too Many: Ellen White Garbles Her Own Theology of the pre-Advent Time of Trouble. A brief but persuasive test of Ellen White’s prophetic credentials. You are doubtless aware that much of her writing derives from uninspired literary sources. Dr. Mazzaferri verifies that some of her later theology is rehashed from her own earlier works. In this striking instance she garbles her own theology so utterly that any open mind may gauge the degree of inspiration involved.

5. "Signs of the Time" - How Biblical is Seventh-day Adventism's Historicist Interpretation of Jesus' Olivet Discourse? Signs of the times? Dr. Mazzaferri takes a fresh look at Seventh-day Adventism’s confident claim that Jesus’ Olivet Discourse is a prime, persuasive example of historicism. Decide for yourself.

6. The Great Controversy Between Christ and Satan: How Biblical is Ellen White's Major Integrating Theme? Seventh-day Adventism labels Ellen White’s Great Controversy theme the unifying principle of her writings. Dr. Mazzaferri gets right to the core of the question of her prophetic credentials by applying the Berean Test, Acts 17:11, to her relevant theology. He also appends a brief critique of her Church’s astounding “defense” of this sectarian dogma when left to depend on Holy Writ alone.
