Adventism seems to have an irresistable urge to rewrite the Bible to fit their teachings. Here is another good example.

While the Scriptures clearly agree that Jesus is telling the theif on the cross, "Today shalt thou be with me in paradise" Adventism totally changes the meaning of this clear text to place it after the Second Coming!

Luke 23:42-43 (King James Version)

42 And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.

43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise.

Luke 23:42-43 (New International Version)

42 Then he said, "Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom."

43 Jesus answered him, "I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise."
