SDA Issues- Sweet Talk of Ecumenicalism

Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law?
John 7:19

"The Protestant movement is being written off as a big misunderstanding that took place centuries ago within the body of Christ.
--The Protestant Reformation of the 16th Century is being described as a period in history in which Christian brothers were fighting over issues that have since been resolved.
--The true faith and experience of Protestantism is being compromised by all the sweet talk of the ecumenical movement.

Francis met with Protestant leaders and other religions at
Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok, Thailand, on Nov. 22, 2019. The theme for this ecumenical gathering was called “Building Bridges for Peace and Understanding.” A total of 18 denominations and 1,500 people of faith showed up to hear the Pope promote his message on “dialog and cooperation.”

The historic Protestant faith is being eliminated by the ecumenical movement. Our Protestant forefathers understood and appreciated the Holy Scriptures and spoke out against Rome’s corruption and distortion of the gospel.

Some Protestant ministers expressed that there is no “deep-seeded differences” between Protestants and Catholics:
Presbyterian pastor Prasartpong Pansuay of Second Church Samyan said that Thai Protestants and Catholic clergy even sometimes hold events together, such a joint prayer on Jan. 26 at his church. ‘We might be different in terms of rituals and administration, but there’s no conflict or deep-seated differences, politically or otherwise,’ Prasartpong said.”
These new Protestant leaders are not exercising the same kind of
faith which Martin Luther practiced.

The local news in Bangkok reported that Seventh-day Adventists along with other Protestant churches met with Pope Francis on Friday November 22, 2019 in Thailand. The news actually listed the names of the churches who were “allowed” to meet with the Pope and the churches which were “absent” from the meeting.
Apart from the Catholic Church, The Thai government recognized five other Christian denominations: Baptist, Evangelical, Presbyterian, and Seventh-day Adventist churches. Only representatives of those five Protestant sects were allowed to meet with the Pope on Friday; Mormons and Jehovah’s Witnesses, both of which have presence in Bangkok, are not recognized by the government, and therefore absent from Friday’s meeting.”
Did Seventh-day Adventist actually meet with Pope Francis in Thailand as reported by the local news media? Or did the news reporters get this story wrong?
 If the Seventh-day Adventist leadership did in fact meet with Pope Francis then they need to tells us why?
 
Will we continue to sink
--lower and lower into the trappings of ecumenism,
--compromise
--and unbelief?
--Will we continue to work with those who are determined to undo the Reformation?"
