Response to “Sin Payment to Satan?”
Thanks for this teaching: salvation by belief in the Son of God and trust in His finished work of atonement, not in keeping the law. Adventist teaching that law keeping is required for salvation leads them to teach the false Sunday law. “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him may not perish but have eternal life.”—John 3:16. The thief on the cross with Jesus met that condition: belief in Jesus; and was assured of eternal life by the Lord Himself. If law-keeping was the requirement, he would hardly have made it. Thank you, Lord Jesus, for taking up my sins, becoming sin, and dying the death I deserved so that I may have Your righteousness and eternal life to the glory of the Father in Heaven. Amen.

Response to “Do Not Allow Slander About Food”
Colossians 2:14 refers only to the shadowy handwriting in the ordinances or the ceremonial sacrificial laws which were fulfilled at the cross.
This is why Paul wrote in Colossians 2:16,17 that we are no longer judged by the meat offerings, drink offerings, and sabbath days “which are a shadow of things to come…” Take note that these are yearly and not the weekly Sabbath of the moral law.

Then your own SDA apologist and theologian was wrong. Here are some links for further information.

Here is an excerpt from the first article.
“Even the late Adventist Sabbath apologist Samuele Bacchiochi wrote that Colossians 2:16 DOES have the weekly sabbath in view. He nevertheless argued FOR its continued sacredness and attempted to assign a ceremonial explanation for the passage, but even he acknowledged that Paul did have the weekly Sabbath in view.\“Here’s the reality.Adventists do not use a normal hermeneutic for reading Scripture. They do not believe it is inerrant; they believe it has errors (just as Ellen White has errors) that must be explained and corrected. They use proof-texting which takes passages out of context and uses them to prove their pre-existing doctrinal biases.
“In context, Colossians 2:16 means exactly what it says. Furthermore, the book of Galatians is clear that to return to the law is to return to the elemental things of this world (Gal. 4:1–11). Paul says in Galatians the same thing he is saying in Colossians: to return to the law of Moses on this side of the cross is to be enslaved by a spiritual power exactly the same as paganism! Paul is writing to Gentile converts; they hadn’t been under the law before becoming Christian; they had been pagans worshiping false gods “which by nature are no gods” (Gal. 4:8). To add the law and its requirements to their faith in Christ was exactly the same as returning to paganism! The law, having been fulfilled in the Lord Jesus by His life, death, and resurrection according to Scripture, was a “weak and worthless elemental” thing which would enslave them exactly as paganism enslaved them. (Emphasis mine)
Those in SDA counterfeit pseudo-Christian organization believe they and they alone have been given the God particle of biblical interpretation. †
