Abstract

he religious pluralism suggests that all religions are equally true and valid. This belief demands each tradition to abandon its proselytism in favor of a higher common well being. The Adventist message, in its hand, does not side with this ecumenical idea due to its specific message, destined “to every nation, tribe, language and people” (Rev 14:6). In this way, participating of this criteria demanded by the inter-religious dialogue means to give up its reasons of existence, and also to value the satanic counterfeit that threats the church of the last days (Rev 13-16). Its hard message, however, is not intransigent or strict; it actually contains an invitation to sincere considerations on the biblical truths.
