The Norwegian Union (DNU) asks the General Conference of the Adventist Church for a break (cessation) in its investments in the United States Stock Market in the Weapons (War) Industry.

DNU REQUESTS CESSATION, INVESTMENT WEAPONS OF WAR
Victor Marley, head of the Adventist Church in Norway, requests the General Conference (the World Executive of the Adventist Church) to suspend all investments in companies in the arms industry.[…]

[UPDATE DEC. 7, 2018]

The original link of this news, which comes directly from the official website of La Unión de Noruega de La Iglesia Adventista del "Séptimo" Día, has been deleted. As the sins of this sister of Rome come to light, the Adventist Church has now dedicated itself to eliminating the trace of her iniquities. Coincidentally, last week I was reviewing this article and I decided to archive the original page, in Norwegian. [1] DNU Calls for a Break in General Conference's Investment in Weapons Industry — Union of Norway, Seventh-day Adventist Church. (Translation, from Norwegian). — Link previously archived by CristoVerdad A week later, the original link no longer exists. [2] —LINK REMOVED—
DNU ber om stans i Generalkonferensens investeringer and våpenindustri
Using the title of the news, you can find the reference on Google "DNU ber om stans i Generalkonferensens investeringer i våpenindustri". But when you click on the link, you will notice that the page has been deleted. Google maintains a reference file of all web traffic that passes through its servers (Computer Network), and that is why we can still see the reference to the news, even though the Church has deleted the message.

The news, which was originally published in February 2018, was also reported by the Adventist portal AdventistToday, [3] Norwegian Union Asks General Conference Not to Spend Money on Weapons — Article, AdventistToday among other places, which—aside from the Google reference, leaves us evidence that this news is real, although the Adventist Church is trying to hide it. The most interesting thing is that on page 6 of publication No. 4 (April 2018) of La Revista Advent Nytt (New Advent) of the Union of Norway, this same news was published. [4] Advent Nyrr Magazine — Norwegian Union Division, No. 4 (Online Publication, April 2018) Apparently they didn't have time to make the corresponding call, or was it divine intervention? In case this link is also deleted, at the end of this article we leave you a gallery of photos from the magazine, as well as the corresponding PDF document.

After receiving a request in the comments section of this article, we checked the original news on Google again, and to our surprise, it reappeared working again, under a new link, and here I leave it for you. [1]nDNU ber om stans i Generalkonferensens investeringer and våpenindustri

Let's go back to the news...

[END UPDATE]

And here is the complete news, we will only touch on some parts below.

Shortly after this complaint by the DNU, the General Conference announced that it was going to review its investment practices, and they reference this news. However, they do it this way:

DNU REQUESTS CESSATION, INVESTMENT WEAPONS OF WAR (Cont.)
The Board also voted “that in accordance with our long-standing position on pacifism, The GC Investment Management Commission is mandated to review all present and potential investments to exclude companies whose profits derive largely or substantially of the manufacture and sale of weapons, combat vehicles, ammunition or other systems to wage war. We further direct the GC Investment Management Commission to avoid investments in any company that is involved in the manufacturing of cluster munitions, landmines and nuclear weapons, and to exclude them beyond the proportion of profits or sales of the company that represent those products.” [7]General Conference Corporation Board reviews and refines investment practices

[UPDATE DEC. 7, 2018]

Así que tenemos, que luego de la "denuncia" de la DNU, la Conferencia General publica que to be continue his practice of "conformidad con nuestra posición de larga data sobre el pacifismo", evitando inversiones en industrias tales como la fabricación de armas de guerrra. Esto es una burla contra el intelecto—y la dignidad de aquellos que todavía se llaman miembros de La Iglesia Adventista del "Séptimo" Día. Este anuncio simplemnte ignora o da a entrever que estas inversiones nunca han tenido lugar por parte de esta ramera corporativa.

You have always been told that your tithes and offerings are to advance the mission of the Lord (MATHEW 28:19-20). Well, you know whose mission yesLord, you are tithing—

44 You are from your father the devil, and you want to do your father's wishes. He has been murderer From the beginning, and has not abided in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own accord; because he is a liar, and the father of lies. —JOHN 8:44

Here is the original link to this magazine. [14]Advent Nytt 4 2018
[MAGAZINE, Adventist Church]

Although Victor Marley appears to have been moved by God to point out the sins of his church, the reality is that his message is more of the same: "No importa lo que pase ahí dentro, este sigue siendo el pueblo de Dios." However, the fact that the senior leadership of the Adventist Church has gone to such extremes, such as investing in the death industry, is a clear sign that God is not within that organization, because God is very clear, "No matarás" (EXD. 20:13).

15 But the dogs they will be out, and the sorcerers, the fornicators, the murderers, the idolaters, and everyone who loves and makes lies.—REVELATION 22:15

It is very possible that Marley is only giving information that the church itself wants to publish—openly, therefore. the information is-forgive the redundancy, public. It's just that if they are the ones bringing the information to light, they can control it, and this is exactly what Victor Marley seems to be doing here:

"Pero la realidad es que the General Conference is not the congregation. You and me, and those around us where we are, we are the church. Dios nos ha salvado y nos ha invitado a participar en su misión en el mundo." —VICTOR MARLEY

At no point does Marley call on members to rebel against apostasy, to withhold funding (tithes and offerings) from these practices until they cease. Nor does he point out that this fact is a violation of God's law, but rather he tells you, "You and me, and those around us where we are, somos la iglesia." In other words, no matter what abomination moves in there, "este es el barco, la Iglesia de Dios, ahí debes quedarte", and above all, "no dejes de diezmar". However, the word of God says:

11 Depart, depart, get out of there, do not touch unclean things; come out from the midst of it; purify yourselves you who carry the vessels of Jehovah. —ISAIAH 52:11

Can someone who openly violates God's law be purified... by worshiping other gods, for example? (EXOD. 20:1-3), or being responsible for the deaths of thousands—perhaps millions of people around the world? Can you purify yourself, who finances that same violation? (EXOD. 20:13).

And let's not forget where Victor Marley's salary comes from, and who gave him that job. Can an employee rebel against his boss without receiving reprimand? And we have not seen any rebuke, for there is no rebellion here. This is just one more case of controlled opposition, "pero la serpiente era astuta…" (GEN. 3:1).

[END UPDATE]

[UPDATE, MAR 11 2022]

Although above the Adventist Church denied its intervention in the tobacco industry, junk food, gambling, pornography, and others, according to Timonthy Aka, the General Conference Fund Manager, we have found contradictory evidence.

In an article titled "Profane tithe", published by the magazine Adventist Record On March 10, 2017, the Adventist Church recognizes its intervention in these industries, in a very subtle way. Adventist Record is the official magazine of The South Pacific Division, based in Australia. Kent Kingston, author of the article, first leaves us with the following rhetorical question, addressed to your conscience:

"Pero, is possible that, to through of my arrangements financial personal, this paying a tithe impious that this undermining all it that do I represent? I I'm enriching with my support a stranger No only to the big tobacco companies, but to others companies that they get their Profits of the games of random, he alcohol, the meal scrap, the pornography, the weapons, the deforestation either the contaminación?" [or]Unholy title
[LINK, Adventist Recordd]
 
Then later Kignston, citing documents from the same church, writes:

''THE PLEASURE INDUSTRY''
"No se harán Direct Investments en ciertas industrias que no estén de acuerdo con los valores de la Iglesia Adventista del Séptimo Día", dicen las actas del Concilio Anual de la Asociación General (CG) del 2004. Específicamente, esto significa companies that obtain more than five percent of your income tobacco, alcohol, adult entertainment [PORNOGRAPHY], gambling, meat products (including McDonald's), and caffeinated beverages (including Coca-Cola and Pepsi). According to Tim Aka, associate treasurer and investment manager of the GC, the Church is also in the process of delisting several other companies from its investment portfolio: weapons manufacturers, contaminadores ambientales e incluso compañías que explotan a sus trabajadores o tienen una mala gobernanza. "Es nuestro deseo dar un buen ejemplo para todos nuestros miembros e instituciones en lo que respecta a la inversión de fondos que el Señor nos ha confiado", dice el Sr. Aka." —Kent Kingston, Adventist Record [or]Unholy title
[LINK, Adventist Recordd]
 

Since we know that the typical Adventist does not have the capacity to discern what we have just read, we explain it here. First, we already covered the issue of weapons of war, so let's focus on the rest. And since all this rest is included in the same portfolio, let's just talk about pornography, and understand that the same principle applies to the others: junk food, tobacco, gambling, etc.

It has long been known that the Adventist Church had its hands in the pornography industry, which—like the gun issue, was an open secret, but difficult to verify. However, Adventist Record tells us that already for 2004 the Adventist Church "no haría inversiones directas" in companies that generate more than 5% of their profits as a product of the pornography Industry. That is, companies that produce and/or sell and buy material and/or services from the adult entertainment industry (pornography) that generate over 5 percent of their annual profits, Mmmm…

Yes, 5 percent or more, But what if they are just 4%, or maybe 2, or maybe just one, or who knows, a .5%? Siendo usted un servidor de Cristo, ¿cree usted que él apruebe un 3% de inversión en "la industria del placer"? Does the Bible support that? Gentlemen, I don't know if you haven't understood yet, but this is an admission, la Iglesia Adventista del "Séptimo" Día invierte el diezmo y las ofrendas en la industria de la pornografía, y no olvide el principio del "resto".

Another thing, Adventist Record dice que sería a partir del 2004 que estas "limitaciones" entrarían en vigor, otra admisión. Es decir, que abiertamente están admitiendo que desde el 2003 hacia atrás la Iglesia Adventista tenía sus manos metidas en todo esto, without any restriction, and—although I cannot prove it, I dare to affirm that this news is just hype, and that the Adventist Church has not diminished a single percent in its investment practices in these industries, which should never have entered there to begin with. .

Como vimos al principio de este artículo, no fue sino hasta febrero del 2018 que—supuestamente, la iglesia Adventista "cesó" de invertir en compañías que deriven más del 5% de sus ganacias de la Industria de las armas de guerra. 12 añor transcurrieron hasta que este famoso cese llegó. Ya nos hicieron la misma jugada con el asunto del aborto en el 2019 también, cuando hiceron la última actualización a su política de la muerte, en donde solo cambiaron el texto sutilmente, pero que siguieron con el mismo mensaje y las mismas prácticas.  [15]The “SOLA SCRIPTURA” Not So Sola, Rafael Díaz and the “Seventh” Day Adventists [LINK, CristoVerdad]

Timothy Aka dijo que "no se harán inversiones  directas", y aunque la Iglesia Adventista está haciendo una admisión aquí, lo quieren minizar como que invertir menos de un 5 por ciento en la industria de la prostitución legal—porque eso es lo que la pornografía es, es algo aceptable por Dios, y algo que a tí no te debiera preocupar. Bueno, como dicen en los confines de esa secta, "simplemente da tu diezmo, que lo que los líderes hagan con eso no es asunto tuyo. A tí solo te toca cumplir con Dios". Have you ever heard the word sheep?

And those are direct investments, But what about the hints? Gentlemen, the evil of that sect is a labyrinth with no exit, and I truly do not need to see how deep that rabbit hole goes, I have already seen more than enough.

[END UPDATE]

¿Puedes entender ahora porqué la mayoría dice "no hay ley", o "la ley no salva" cuando Dios dice todo lo contrario? (REV. 22:14-15, ROM. 2:13, 3:21-31). Where there is no law, death enters (ROM. 6:23, 1 JOHN 3:4). Isn't that what we're seeing here? Is Jesus God of Life or God of death?

They are telling you to your face, but you continue in your foolishness saying "pero este es el pueblo de Dios". Oh yes, of course!
