Check Everything
This book’s standing invitation is not “trust me.” It is “look it up together.” Every quotation in the book carries its source, and most of those sources sit in free public archives that anyone can open tonight. This page gathers them.
The Adventist church’s own materials. The 28 Fundamental Beliefs in their current wording at adventist.org/beliefs. Ellen G. White’s published writings, searchable in full, at the church’s own archive, egwwritings.org. The historic documents, including the complete 1919 Bible Conference transcripts, at documents.adventistarchives.org. The church’s Encyclopedia of Seventh-day Adventists at encyclopedia.adventist.org.
Scripture. The King James Version, quoted throughout the book, freely available everywhere; the book flags on the spot every quotation from the seven deuterocanonical books included in Catholic Bibles but not in the Adventist Old Testament.
The first Christians. The writings of the early Church, including every Father the book calls as witness, in public-domain English translation at newadvent.org and ccel.org.
Catholic teaching in its own words. The Catechism of the Catholic Church, complete, at vatican.va. The book quotes it for one purpose only: to show what the Church actually teaches where she has been described as teaching something else.
Government records. The Congressional Record pages the famous “oath” claims cite, complete and untorn, at the Library of Congress.
A citation is a claim, not a proof. The archives above are where claims go to be proven or to die. Use them on this site’s articles, and on the book itself: it asks you to. And if checking turns up an error, in the book or on this site, tell us →. Substantive corrections are recorded publicly.
