The Present Truth and the LGBTQ+ Movement

The Present Truth refers to God's end-time messages intended to prepare the world to meet Jesus. These messages are found in Revelation 14:6-12 and are also known as the Three Angels' Messages. However, as part of his deceptions, Satan is seeking to distract and confuse the church by the LGBTQ+ ideology. Today, there are many voices in Christianity and in the Seventh-day Adventist Church clamoring for the affirmation of the LGBTQ+ ideology and lifestyle. Pastor Mercado believes that following the road of affirmation will lead to a loss of credibility and will dilute the end-time messages of preparation. Yet acknowledging that LGBTQ+ people are already in our churches, he provides guidelines on how to treat them redemptively while not compromising biblical values.
