NOTICE: We were then left with no choice but to do as penned in 1 Timothy 5:19-21. This email (shared below) was sent to Craig Kalkofen II and his wife on July 07, 2020 outlining their sins via many witnesses in the final and prayerful hope they would finally respond and do the right thing. Craig and his wife refused. And so, due to continued denial of biblical jurisprudence and refusal to obey the Lord in such matters; this email officially removes Craig Kalkofen II from the office of pastor in the Seventh Day Remnant church. PLEASE
PRAY FOR THE PRECIOUS SOULS CRAIG HAS PULLED OFF THE PATH "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." -Galatians 6:7
The only reason Craig is making all those videos and webpages slandering me and the SDR people is because he got caught committing adultery with a 12 year old girl in the Philippines. When many of us in the SDR church tried to help him with love for him and his family, he refused to admit what more than three witnesses confirmed. He then started a smear campaign against the obedient SDR people for obeying God's will as per 1Timothy 5:19-21. His wife created dozens of sites and he created dozens of videos slandering us so as to hide the one page we made exposing his sins as per obedience unto our Lord's command in 1 Timothy 5:19-21 & Ephesians 5:11. That being said; why didn't we respond to his many videos and webpages by making new webpages or even a single video about him? It's because we obey the God that declared in Proverbs 26:4-5 Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him. (5) Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit. Praise the Lord it was not only revealed that Craig and his wife's lies would be unbelievable to most; and soon their sinful fruit will be revealed to everyone. |
NOTICE: As much as we love Craig, we love the Lord more and must not show favoritism (partiality) towards Craig. We must obey the Lord who declared through His servant in 1 Timothy 5:19-21 Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses. (20) Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. (21) I charge thee before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without preferring one before another, doing nothing by partiality.
We were warned this would happen! Romans 16:17,18 says, "Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. (18) For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.
Be forewarned! Matthew 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
After many emails were sent to Craig and Ade starting in June of 2020 by myself as well as other SDR members which were sent trying to get them to answer the accusations levied against them by many witnesses, they refused all the email requests to explain themselves, prove they weren't in sin or even repent of the sins revealed unto God's people after prayer; and so below is the LAST email I sent on July 07, 2020. But, because they refused to acknowledge they received the email I sent, I asked a few of the SDR church members to send them a copy, of which we had a confirmed witness that they did receive the FINAL email listed below. The fact they left the church and changed their church to "SSR" confirms, they knew they were cast from the camp just as was Achan of old. They could only know that by seeing the below email.
I made this statement to quench the lies claiming we never sent them the below email or the many others that were sent in June. Craig and Ade knew we knew of their sin, they knew we wanted to talk and they refused to talk. They also refused to prove their innocence and therefore left us no choice after many failed email attempts to help them; we then met as a church family, prayed, and then sent the final email as is listed below. All those that claim we never warned them about sending this final email posted below are in fact lying.
And so now it is up to you to discern who is telling you the truth. The one caught in sin who refuses to repent, or the many that obeyed the Lord by rebuking them for their sin with the biblically required number of witnesses.
ORIGINAL EMAIL SENT TO CRAIG KALKOFEN II
Dear Craig;
I have been elected to send this email from the Seventh Day Remnant church.
My heart aches in having to send this email to you. I am literally in turmoil in all this. I haven’t slept well for many days. I prayed and prayed and prayed asking the Lord to please change all this somehow. I did not want to have to do this. But I must do as His Word commands regarding such things. I must not let you split God’s church any more than you already have so as to defend and hide your sins. Your strange actions of late including preventing your loving brethren from sharing Bible facts to help you and your youtube viewers see the mistakes in your message left us with no choice but to pray and ask the Lord’s guidance in finding why you have stepped off the path of obedience as your strange prophecies and sewing of discord now confirm.
When you started to preach false prophecies it was as if all of you in the PH church were suddenly babes with no understanding needing to be taught all over again. As Paul saw with the Hebrew church in Hebrews 5:11,12. You are now dull of hearing and as I saw in a recent phone call and emails, you refuse to listen to reason, even if that which I share was based in Scripture and unedited SOP.
And so the Lord moved me and other members in the church to try and find out what happened as we now know something was very wrong with you. After much prayer the Lord was revealing that a major sin was committed confirming as to why you cannot understand prophecy anymore, and when you try and preach what you preach you never prove your strange prophecies with Scripture and in some cases you used edited SOP to back them up.
The false prophecies you present are nowhere to be found in the Word. What you now preach is an avalanche of falsehood (14 points of error so far) and so we prayed and asked the Lord to reveal what’s going on with you. Some of us, myself included discerned that a major sin was afoot because we know that the only way to understand prophecy is to obey the God that wrote it. The Lord then allowed us to discover things about your walk and some of these things are so bad that I am so sad to say unto you my friend; you must now step down from the pulpit immediately. And yes, we have many witnesses to these sins as you will see by their written testimonies below.
Craig, this is where my heart aches as the Lord allowed us to discover all this. He allowed us to find this so as to purify the church to be ready for the latter rain. Major sin was in fact committed and you lied to me about it for 4 years now. Sadly, as your wife was also tested by the Lord in the hopes she would not help you in this sin, sadly, Ade then refused to stand for Jesus by helping you cover this all up just as Sapphira did for her husband 2000 years ago. And so, just as Ananias and Sapphira dropped dead in the doorway, and seeing how in prophecy Jesus Christ is the door, you and Ade have now dropped dead in Christ. But you can still repent. And that is the prayer of all of us in the SDR church.
The Lord saw you both sin. After we prayed and asked for His hand upon us, He opened our eyes to you and Ade’s sins. He has now brought forth more than the 2 or 3 witnesses necessary to know the truth so as to calm our hearts of any guilt for making any sort of railing accusation against you. For it is written in 1 Timothy 5:19-20 Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses. (20) Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear.
What’s really bad in all this is how instead of confessing and repenting and stepping down years ago when this first happened wherein you could still do the work for the Lord on the street after showing fruit of repentance, you allowed many poor souls to embrace false teachings and you even forced some to join in sin with you by lying in how they all agreed to help you cover this up the last four years.
Craig; as is apparent and the reason we went into prayer and study, the Lord removed His truth from you as we can now see you cannot speak for the Lord of truth while embracing lies. This is why you and Ade are making up strange prophecies. We in the SDR church must now do all we can to help those poor souls that have been led off the path of truth due to your sins and false message. We have faith however that if obedient they will see the light and once again be one in the Lord as is also our prayer for you and Ade.
I pray you and Ade repent for there is precious little time left to do so. After you committed sin #4 listed below, you should have stepped down from the pulpit four years ago and never to have been allowed back on the pulpit for the remainder of your life as per Scripture and SOP confirmation. But you refused to do so and even hid this sin from the brethren and myself. This is why the Lord allowed us to find what we prayed to find in the hopes of helping you and Ade as well as preventing more souls from being led astray.
The sins listed below confirm why Craig no longer understands prophecy. For the only way to understand prophecy is to obey the God that wrote it. |
13
reasons (thus far) as to why you must immediately step down from all Seventh
Day Remnant duties including the office of pastor.
(Section
#4 )
#1. False prophecies – We have Scriptural evidence that you are preaching false prophecies to confuse the brethren. (14 confirmed points are posted here with all the Scripture and SOP needed to reval truth. Also see the entire one hour with the beast study here, the Study exposing the Secret Rapture and the 1000 years study) And notice that which was penned in Jeremiah about such wicked pastors.
Because Craig's false prophecies are being exposed by the obedient flock who read the Original Spirit of Prophecy (SOP) books as well as do Bible studies to see prophetic truth, Craig has opted to promote the SOP books that are edited by Jesuits (see proof here) so as to help prevent those that donate to him from discovering he (Craig) is now exposed as a false prophet. And so to assure some that trust him never see the Original books, Craig is now attacking Verne Bates who never wrote those books. God used Verne from 1955 to his death to make sure millions of people got the original books and that angers the demons of hell. See more details as to why Craig is really focused on Verne here.
Verne did not write the original SOP books. Ellen White did. That means Craig is attacking God's prophet so as to protect his finances. And what does the Bible say about Craig's evil actions?
Craig is once again mocking and disobeying the Lord by attacking the writings of Ellen White. He has now joined forces with the Roman Catholic man of sin for the sake of making himself appear trustworthy to those he controls in the exact same way Jesuits have been attacking the Scriptures and in the 1800's, Ellen White's writngs. He has fallen that far!
#2. God’s tithe - The squandering of the faithful tithe of God's obedient people in many ways – (details)
#3. Cover up - Lying to the brethren by keeping a major sin (#4) hidden for 4 years. I personally was also lied to in that I was told by you personally that there was no sin on your part. Instead you claimed a young girl was merely infatuated with you and some in the church got upset for no reason and that’s all it was. You then told the brethren that “Nicholas is aware of the sin” which then made many believe that I was ok with adultery when I am not. Craig's wife is helping in the coverup. (ANOTHER witness to be posted soon) (WARNING TO CRAIG: See Psalm 101:7 ; Proverbs 6:16-19 and Revelation 22:14,15)
#4.
Adultery / Pedophilia - You committed adultery with a young girl named Aljean Tapayan “Sai Sai” (A 12 year old girl
(now 17) - She testifies
to the adulterous affair below) This act also confirms you are a
pedophile / child molestor. (Craig and his wife claim he can stay on the pulpit
as Pastor even after committing adultery. See SOP
and more on this.) CLICK
HERE for an email Craig's wife sent ADMITTING he
committed adultery with a 12 year old girl
Why out such a sin as this?
Ephesians 5:11-13 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. (12) For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret. (13) But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.
#5. An appearance of evil - There are recent reports of young single women still staying on your property even after your sin of adultery / pedophilia was exposed (and covered up) and once again you are showing signs of “possessiveness” towards one of them as you did with Aljean Tapayan (the 12 year old girl) showing you have not repented as of yet.
#6. Accuser of the brethren - You have been lying to the brethren saying I (Nicholas) changed the way I preach the prophecies fulfill and so it is your duty to proclaim as God has shown you to expose my error. Yet in a video you did back in November of 2018 you stated at 14:48 in the video the exact same way I (Nicholas) have been preaching the second coming for decades. You even called it the “true second coming” in that video. But today you claim it starts at plague #1 and ends at the 1000 years. (See the 14 points of error Bro. Ely posted) You accused me (Nicholas) of doing what you are actually doing right now. (WARNING TO CRAIG: See Psalm 101:7 ; Proverbs 6:16-19 and Revelation 22:14,15)
#7. Confusion / Deception - On the SDRHerald.org site wherein I had no control to change the pages proving only you or Ade can do that, you pasted my original statement of faith as I allowed years ago wherein it says “The stone cut out of the mountain without hands represents the second advent of Christ.” That is what I have been preaching for decades. But when asked about that same Stone – you never respond to me or anyone. Worse yet you now preach the second coming starts at plague 1 and the stone comes at the end of 1000 years. (See the 14 points of error Bro. Ely posted)
On the Sabbath of 08-15-20 I (Nicholas) found numerous hateful comments posted on my sermon and study videos on YouTube when I arose in the morning. After logging and screen capturing them offline it was discovered through an obedient brother in the SDR church that the woman in the pic is Craig's live in tutor. She is now creating many fake YouTube accounts to troll my channel so as to defend Craig abd his sinful actions. And yes, we actually have rock hard proof. She forgot to change the picture and the word for word comments in some of the hateful messages that she posted on Sabbath day using more than one YouTube account proving beyond a shadow of doubt that it's the very same person. See proof here. (WARNING TO CRAIG: See Psalm 101:7 ; Proverbs 6:16-19 and Revelation 22:14,15)
#8. Twisting God’s Word to hide your sin - You and Ade lied to many brethren claiming that even though king David committed adultery, God never removed his kingly robes. Yet you are not a king; and David never denied or hid his sin from the prophet Nathan when confronted as you have been doing for four years now. (and continue to do so in emails, phone calls and videos) Plus, being a king is not the same as being a pastor. A pastor has a duty to stand as an ordained priest of God before the people that literally supersedes the calling of a king. Notice the judgment of king Saul who unlike David was unrepentant.
#9. Theft of SDR name, land, buildings and equipment - Craig; you have been emailed many times alerting you that the use of the name "Seventh Day Remnant" on your face book page is illegal and you need to cease and desist from further use as you are no longer a Seventh Day Remnant pastor and thereby without complete approval to use the name. You know that Presents of God ministry has legally owned the name as of May 15, 2012. Yet you continue to use the facebook page illegally live stream using that page.
You have been made very aware of all this in numerous emails; but because you have nearly 2000 followers on Facebook who followed you when you were SDR and still think you are SDR today, you continue to illegally use the "Seventh-Day-Remnant-Church" URL to deceive people that are unaware of your fall from grace so as to make thembelieve you are still "SDR" when in fact you are not. Your false message, your adultery, your theft, your lies, your pedophilia and your other illegal activities documented here confirm this hands down. Yes, you changed the name of the page itself to SS remnant; but the "Seventh-Day-Remnant-Church" URL remains intact so as to continue to gain followers by the art of deception. You are now publicly declared to be a thief before all eyes that see as per 1 Timothy 5:19-21. And so, just as Judas was following Christ so as to "hold the bag" you too latch onto the SDR name so as to gain like all the rest of the apostate churches in these last days.
Sadly, 2 Peter 2:15 speaks of people that seek their wages by using the unrighteous fruit of deception as you are doing now Craig. It says that they are those "Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness; (16) But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man's voice forbad the madness of the prophet. (17) These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever."
You are also guilty of theft in that you refuse to leave the SDR church property and walk away from all the land and euipment that was not only purchased by the SDR people, the land and the buildings have obdeniet SDR people's names on the title. But because they are unable to come to the Philippines due to the lock downs, you remain on that land. This too is a crime.
#10. Attack on Present Truth - Craig; you have been quoted as saying the original writings of Ellen White are dangerous. You now promote the edited SOP books that we have proven hands down to be re-written by Jesuits in the SDA church. For all those concerned, see the rock hard evidence in this series of videos. And yes, it has been revealed as to why you are doing this. And as per our biblical duty laid out in 1 Timothy 5:19-21, here are the facts.
As for the sin of adultery (#4), (see SOP on this below) we now have the necessary witnesses required by Scripture to confront you before the people of God. In fact, we not only have more than “2 or 3” witnesses listed below, we even have proof from more than one that you and Ade forced 5 young girls to help you cover up your sin of adultery to keep your title as pastor thereby causing them to join with you in this awful sin against the Lord. Hopefully, these young girls will repent and decide to worship the Creator over and above you, the creature. (So far 2 of the 5 have already admitted to covering things up for you and Ade.)
#11. Lying about getting the chance to respond to witnesses against him
Craig was sent "the email" wherein 5 witnesses outlined his many sins as you can se eon this page which was the original email, expect for the new info we uncovered the last few months. But he still has on his "witness" page the following..
WE ARE STILL WAITING FOR THE PROOF FROM SDR CHURCH THAT THEY ASKED ME MANY TIMES TO DEFEND MYSELF. THE PROOF MUST INDICATE THE DATES THAT I WAS CALLED "MANY TIMES" TO FACE MY ACCUSERS BACK IN JUNE. WE RECEIVED THE ACCUSATION ONLY IN JULY 07. HOW CAN WE ANSWER IN JUNE IF WE ARE ONLY ACCUSED IN JULY? |
QUESTION: Since Craig knew he got the email on July 07, 2020, why didn't he respond in July? He just admitted he received it and that it was "an accusation" against him and therefore it was clearly his opportunity to defend himself. He even titled the page "WHEN YOU'RE ACCUSED" confirming he had received the email and had the chance to speak. Yet, to this day (November 01, 2020) he has still NEVER answered a single email sent to him before or after that date. Is this how an innocent man acts? He even blocked all comments from SDR members on his YouTube videos as of June 27 wherein we tried to post Bible verses proving his videos about the one hour with the beast had false prophecies in them. Many in the church tried to reach Craig (myself included) as soon as he posted that June 27 video. In fact, the original email of July 07, 2020 stated that he was "preventing your loving brethren from sharing Bible facts to help you and your youtube viewers see the mistakes in your message" hence proving we did in fact try to reach Craig and he knew it when he banned all of us. He then got the email on July 07, 2020 after all efforts to move him to respond failed.
ADDED
01-15-21:
It is now January
15, 2021 and still no response from Craig or his wife has ever been recieved.
Again we ask, is this how an innocent man responds to brethren that love him
enough to reach out seeking to help him? NOT ONE EMAIL was ever received by
us from Craig or his wife regarding the many sins listed here.
The truth is, as anyone can see now, he clearly just admitted on a webpage that he was "accused in July." That means he got the email we sent numerous times but refused to respond. And now he lies and said he never got any emails? Even when he started to post strange lies about all this a month or so later after he realized his donations were disappearing, he still never responded to our emails. Instead, he fabricated the lies that he never got the email so as to try and force us to start the process all over again. But that's not how it works. He had all sorts of time to respond. The Bible is very clear on this, we did all we could, he refused to respond and then left us no choice.
Still.. emails that have been sent to him by myself (Nicholas) long after July 07, 2020 are still sitting in his computer with no response being sent back to me or anyone. He left such facts out on his "witness" page so as to make us look like we didn't do this right. But then, that's how Satan moves the tongue when he has that much control. Satan will protect Craig and his wife all the way up until they die in the plagues IF they refuse to repent before they begin.
BASIC FACTS:
When we declared
he was removed from the pulpit many days after sending the email, we retroactively
stated his removal to be that of July 7, 2020. Had he responded on the 7th,
8th, 9th, 10th or any other day the process of discussion would have begun.
And if discussion still showed he was unable to prove his innocence, then
the day of his removal would have been later regarding that final church meeting
between him, churhc members and witnesses. But because he never responded to
the July 07, 2020 email which everyone now knows he did in fact receive by going
to his "witness" page, his removal date was therefore set to July
07, 2020.
I have proof we sent emails on July 7, 8, 9, 10 in my system. And as far as I recall we did not say he was "officially" removed from the pulpit until the following Sabbath of either July 11 or July 17 as we waited for your response. I don't recall which Sabbath we went public via the streams; but the fact is it doesn't matter anymore as he just admitted he did get the July 07, 2020 email of which he never responded to. And so again, we were left with no choice but declare his removal day to be that of July 07, 2020.
That July 07, 2020 letter was his and his wife's final opportunity to respond to the witnesses that outlined the sins against them so as to defend themselves. They chose not to do that. That letter was done in a biblical manner with more witnesses than the Bible actually requires so as to declare the truth regarding the one(s) in sin.
Some witnesses have had numerous texts back and forth for weeks between Craig and Ade until we finally sent "the email" of July 07, 2020. Had he or his wife responded on July 07, 2020 or shortly thereafter wherein the email was resent numerous times by myself and others giving them that option showing we wanted to talk, then the discussion between the witnesses and the accused would have commenced as per biblical jurisprudence. That never happened. And then more than a month later; yet another sin was committed claiming we did not follow the method outlined in Scripture regarding a pastor who has fallen into sin.
#12 Breaking Federal Trademark Law and Committing International Fraud AFTER he was removed from the pulpit on July 11, 2020 in shameful disgrace
Too many pics and info to post - click here to see it all
Now that Craig has gained the use of the name "SDRministries" trademark which he appiled for nearly 2 months after he was removed from the SDR pulpits for all the sins listed here, which also proves he knew for a fact he was no longer an SDR member or even a pastor, his actuons on August 27, 2020 confirms he sought to gain this new tradmarked name (SDRministries) by lying to the USPTO Office which constitutes the act of International Criminal fraud.
Proof? Read the reasons for his trademark in the links listed above and then notice how he is only using the trademark today for the sole purpose of slandering the SDR people. Craig nor anyone in his apostate church are SDR at all. This now confirms by actual legal documentation that lying is the main fruit of Craig Kalkofen, his wife Ade Kalkofen and every single SSR member of his chruch that are aware of his using our initials (SDR) for the sole purpose of slander against God's people.
His application explanation and his public use of the trademark do not match. Hence, it is now openly confirmed via the trademark office's own public listing of the trademark's description as compared to the actual use of same that Craig Kalkofen and his wife Ade Kalkofen are committing International Criminal Fraud.
#13 Written admission of guilt by Ade Kalkofen that her husband (Craig) did commit adultery
In regards to Pastor Craig Kalkofen
Novi was visiting the Philippines in early 2016. I was at work when I received a call from her telling me about Craigs behavior in regards to, at the time, a 13 year old girl living on his property. Novi described to me how Craig would not let this girl fellowship with like-minded brethren, because he was fearful that boys would like her. He also would not allow her to sing in the church and when Novi, Jaffel, and Ade were holding a medical mission outreach. He showed up and was visually upset that Ade allowed this young girl to sing for the Lord. It was also relayed to me that he did absolutely nothing to help this medical mission cause but had no problem sharing it in POGM as if he was there and participating. At this time I told Novi that it appears as if Craig is that young girl’s boyfriend. He was displaying the characteristics of a jealous and possessive boyfriend. This behavior struck me as odd but I really did not give it anymore thought, because I am a busy person and I thought Craig might just be acting weird in this regard.
It was some days later that I received a call from Novi again this time telling me how Craig was carrying on an inappropriate relationship with this girl. Novi told me how her mom had a dream that someone had gotten pregnant( a single girl) in Craig’s house. Her mom believed it to be that girls older sister and she confronted her on it. The older sister broke down in tears and said it was her younger sister that had been doing these things with Craig. Novi’s mom was able to see the phone that Craig and the young girl were texting back and forth on. I do not remember all the things she said that she saw but Novi did. I heard from Novi that Craig was denying this, as well as the girl but eventually the both owned up to the sin. I heard that they were sneaking off outside of the house meeting at night, as well as in a room he was sleeping in away from his wife and kids. That they would hug and kiss. I was told that they were alone, with possibly others at some time for two weeks while his wife and her two sisters were on a different island. I heard from Novi that Craig was on the floor begging forgiveness while his wife scolded him. That she said why don’t you go kiss her, referring to the young girl.
Craig had asked Novi not tell me and it seems that countless others were told to promise not to tell so this could be hidden from the church. Everyone there admitted that it was adultery but as the years have passed now Ade and Novi’s mom is saying it is not. That it is familiarity according to Ade. When before she compared Craigs case to that of King David. Which we all know he committed adultery not familiarity. Ade took the phone and refused to let anyone see it and spoke to Craig in private. It is my belief that more has happen but it is being covered up. Regardless, with what I have heard from multiple people he did in fact commit adultery. According to SOP and the bible he is not to stand as a pastor in God’s church anymore. He can be forgiven but he is not to lead the flock. I have always been bothered by this but I too was told to not say anything because Ade and Craigs lies. They said they spoke with you in regards to this. We have learned that not only did they not speak to you they accused a young girl of making false accusations against Craig. This shows me that there is zero repentance. One does not cover sin if they are repentant.
Craig also thought brother Ely should not stay here in 2017 with Novi, her mom, and myself because it was the appearance of evil. This is while at the same time he was still having single women that are not family staying on his property after what he did. He is also displaying these same jealous and possessive fruits with another girl that is young and single that is staying at on his property. It seems that neither he nor his wife understand the appearance of evil and what repentance looks like.
What is also sad is that every time the Holy Spirit prods Novi or myself to say something. Ade’s vitriol is unleashed on her sister for what her husband did. Can Ade not understand that just because she covers Craigs sin that does not mean others are not disturbed by what happened. That she should show some patience and mercy if she really believed it was no big deal. Her husband sinned and put the doubt in our heads not Novi. I have to ask forgiveness for not saying something sooner. Even Sunday keeping churches understand that an adulterous pastor can no longer be on their pulpit at least. How much more God’s church. Craig should humble himself and accept the blame that only he deserves and step down. His wife should stand by him and tell him that this is what needs to be done like she should have from the very beginning. It is sad enough that Craig is refusing to do what is right and this will split this family because of the brave souls that finally have stood for the truth. This has also affected the church because Craig is not fit to be preaching anything from a pulpit let alone the error he now preaches.
In conclusion Craig committed adultery and he knows it. Better yet all of heaven knows it. His wife has covered his sin and attacked innocent people for being concerned because the Holy Spirit was leading that person to know this was not right. Both Craig and Ade need to humble themselves before God and ask forgiveness and step down before it is too late. Also mama Bebe, Novi’s mom, needs to ask forgiveness as well for knowing the truth but now attempting to cover Craig’s sin as well
Proverbs 6:32 - But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul.
Matthew 5:28 - But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. ( Kissing and hugging is lust)
Proverbs 1:7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
I would recommend Psalms chapter 51 for Craig since his situation was compared to King David. They can now say because he did not go into her ( as far as we know) that he did not commit adultery. Craig and Ade have been in the bible long enough to know that this is not the only way adultery is defined. God bless brother and praying for this situation

Translation: Elder Sis, I promised not to tell others about that incident. Because they made me promise that time. We 5 girls were asked to promise . gerly, cherry ann, me, yenyen the sister of Clint.
Dear Pastor Nic this is Jaffel. This is what I witnessed during that incident.
I decided to stay at home with Mama to watch the kids while Ade, Craig and Novi went to the city. While I was folding clothes in the living room, Mama opened up to me that she had a dream and she was bothered about it. And it was about Craig impregnated someone inside his house and definitely its not Ade. I was surprised and told Mama it was just a dream and she doesn't have any other evidence. What if it was not true and I dont want to embarrass her. I told mama its impossible Craig will do that. But my mother reason out "what if the affair has just started, my dream is a warning. I cannot keep this and I don’t want to wait until somebody get pregnant here" I cannot stop her she was so restless that she wanted to investigate while Ade and Craig was not at home.
Knowing her personally I cannot stop her, so she left and talked to the older sister. After an hour, mama didn't come back and I was wondering what happened to her outside so I checked on her and saw them on deep discussion at the children's playground and I saw the older sister was crying. Mama came back inside the house so angry and told me "Craig and the younger sister are texting each other, my dream is really a warning". I was shocked. And I cannot forget how my mother was so angry and told me "I cannot let this girl destroy the family of my daughter. I have to do something to stop all these".
She left again and continued to inquire more. I was speechless and cannot believe what I heard. I could still remember how angry was my mother and she was out of control, started talking non stop. I was panicking and the tension inside the house started to escalate.
In the afternoon, Mama brought Aljean inside the room and scolded her, telling her how she betrayed ade, bla bla bla.... (non stop talking)
So I interrupted and told the girl you need to back home you and your sister. But the girl refused to go home and I saw her started to cry when mama said something too personal involving her family.
It was near sunset ade, craig and novi arrived home, and ade talked to me clarifying things not to misunderstood the behaviour of Craig, that he used to be like that, he is so caring to everybody here like he is their dad. I told ade "if all of these are not true why the older sister is crying now?".
They met outside the house in the night. That is not normal!" In that instant I saw the changed of ade's reaction and runned quickly outside (did not even finish what she was saying to me) then I saw her and craig talking outside in front of Bro Daniel's house.
I learned that day also that Craig had a lot of excuses why he did that. And doesn't want to send the girl home but instead he suggested that mama should go home. But after he knew we have another witness that was the time he admitted it. I was so disappointed how he treated my mom that day. Novi saw how angry he was inside the car towards mama.
I was not able to read the sweet text messages from Aljean phone because inside the house was in big chaos now, lots of confrontation. My mother cried and wanted to go back home. I dont know where to go.
I saw how craig scolded ade when the girl sang, letting the girl stayed at home and medical missionary incident. During the medical missionary it was Ade who preached in the public instead of Craig because he was already upset. Me and ade visiting the sick early in the morning then I realized later the husband should go with her. We had a campmeeting in the other island but Craig was not there. I just realized now why he was not involved in every church activities.
I also remembered we were at the restaurant, Ade burst out in tears and told us the incident was not easily for her to handle. I went back to Abu dhabi And Novi texted me that craig is not fit to be a pastor according to what EGW wrote. So I searched that for myself and confirmed it.
As what I know from ade, they already informed you about that incident and you said as long as the person repented its ok. So that gave me a relief.
Last June 2019, ade texted me asking if Novi sent me a quote about a minister violating the 7th commandment and did not repent. I said yes. Ade told me "I'm sending both of you the compilation of my study about that, I hope Novi will understand. Novi concluded right away by that 1 qoute only and seems she was implying that Craig is not a pastor anymore"
She continued, " God has only one principle repentance and forgiveness. whatever sin was committed. Craig did not lust in his mind at that time, he was not thinking of any sexual desire. Everything was FAMILIARITY if it was not stop right away it will lead to adultery. Peter denied Jesus. there is no big or small in sin. Part of the quote, a pastor committed an adultery and confess it and he was still accepted by ellen white and was assigned in europe" she further explained "Familiary is sin but not adultery unless there is lust in the mind. Why keep on digging the past he already repented." She wanted to close the issue.
Before I went to the Philippines in 2016, I received a viber message from Craig's mom to tell Ade to give more attention to Craig otherwise he will find that attention from another woman. I didnt believe it because I looked up to Craig as a God-fearing minister. When I arrived there I saw Craig with boils, I hugged him and cried with him. I told him he needs to take an antibiotics because by the look of it its already infected. So he took the antibiotics and got healed within a week.
After few days of being there in their property, one sabbath evening I saw this girl whom I knew since she was a toddler and also a close family relative. She grew up to be a beautiful girl with beautiful voice. She wasnt allowed to fellowship in the church, instead she was to listen to the sermon from Craig's kitchen, as ordered by Craig. I told Ade that is not right. Why is she not allowed to join the fellowship with the brethren on the Sabbath? Ade said it is to prevent the other boys from being attracted to her because she is beautiful and she sings very well. I told Ade, isnt it strange though how Craig is acting towards another woman? Like protecting her like a boyfriend? And then I told Ade about the viber message I got from Craig's mom that this is probably what she was pertaining to. So she asked me about the viber message but somehow it was already deleted. Ade brushed off the idea that Craig has feelings for the girl. So I just told her, Im just saying I got this warning from his mom and then this is what I'm seeing. So I moved on and believed her since she is smart and she knows her husband well. I could be wrong about it. Plus, I dont want to believe that Craig is doing such a thing. I dont want to evilsurmise.
The next sabbath evening we were singing outside his house with the brethren, Ade allowed the girl to sing, everyone was given the chance to sing including myself. After few minutes I saw Craig and Ade talking away from everyone, by the look of it they were having an argument. So when Ade came back I asked her what was it all about, we were just singing for the Lord. She said that Craig was mad that she allowed the girl to sing, because it caused the boys to get attracted with her and also it could cause her to have pride in her heart because she got a nice voice and people will praise her voice instead of the message. I told her, thats wrong... I grew up singing and never did I hear someone told me to stop singing because it might cause me to be prideful. Then again, I thought it was strange. Craig was acting like a boyfriend again.
I also remember that during the medical missionary (which I heard was shared in the pogm online conference) in the mountain, Craig wasn't there to help us. Everyone had their own task to do. Craig was nowhere to be found. He did show up for a brief moment to scorn Ade. I saw them having arguments from the distance. And then he left. I asked Ade why he was mad, she said because she allowed the girl to sing. That for me wasnt a good action from a pastor.
We decided to visit Mindanao (farm church in the south where I grew up) for two weeks with Ade, Jaffel and the kids. Craig was left in Cebu with the girl and other young people that lived with him. When we came back, everything seems to be fine. But one day me, Ade and Craig were in the city, on our way back Ade got a text message from my mom that the girl needs to be sent to Mindanao because she found out that there is something going on between her and Craig. Craig became furious. I remember he said mama is a troublemaker and she should be the one that should be sent back to Mindanao. He said he is just close to the girl just like he is close to me. So I thought it must me a misunderstanding and when we get there we will figure things out and everything will be okay.
When we arrived in their house, mama approached Ade that she had a dream that the elder sister got impregnated by Craig. When she woke up she was bothered by her dream so she approached the elder sister and asked her to be honest if there is something wrong going on between her and Craig, the elder sister started crying and said thank you for asking this because its been a long time I have been keeping this secret, but its not about me and Craig its my younger sister and Craig, they are having a secret relationship.
She was able to snapshot the text messages between Craig and her sister.. some lines I could still remember that my mom said she read from the text messages are; the girl called him "my boy", the girl asked Craig if the wife is already asleep... the girl was sending him sweet messages that only a wife should send to a husband.
So apparently, they meet in the middle of the night in a dark space outside their house without Ade's knowledge because she was already asleep. She would ask "is your wife already asleep?" He also slept in the playroom away from his children and wife and the girl would sneak out and go to him to "hug" him (was his confession afterwards). I squeezed very little information from Ade afterwards because she tried her best to hide the majority of the things from everyone. When the elder sister confessed, she grabbed her away from everyone. At night I heard Ade and Craig in their room and I heard her say "go to her, go kiss her". So when she came out I asked her, so he kissed her? she said Craig did kiss the girl, but he was trying to downplay it. what kind of kiss I didnt ask further because its such an awkward question to ask from my dear sister that just got cheated. The cellphone messages were not shown to us afterwards. I felt like Ade was protecting her husband's integrity as a pastor and tried to save his title. But I was disturbed by his actions because I saw the warnings and the actions prior to the revelation and I connected the dots and it is adultery done by a minister which is my brother in law and it hurts. I showed her a quote from EGW about a minister that committed adultery should not be trusted with guardianship of the flock.
"I have no real ground of hope for those who have stood as shepherds to the flock, and have for years been borne with by the merciful God, following them with reproof, with warnings, with entreaties, but who have hid their evil ways, and continued in them, thus defying the laws of the God of heaven by practicing fornication. We may leave them to work out their own salvation with fear and trembling, after all has been done to reform them, but in no case entrust to them the guardianship of souls. False shepherds! Oh, can it be that the men who have been engaged in this work for a long time will corrupt their ways before the Lord after great experience and special light?"—Testimonies to Ministers and Gospel Workers, 426-428. { TSB 237.3}
She said that just like King David, God forgave him and did not stripped him of his kingly title. This showed to me that Ade knew that Craig committed adultery because she compared the situation of Craig to another situation of a man that committed adultery. She also said that you (Pastor Nic) is aware about it. I brought it up to her last year again because me and Ryan were still bothered by it. We felt like he shouldnt be a pastor, she scolded me as if I have done something wrong. Sad thing is, he is displaying the same fruits such as being controlling, protective and isolation with another single female from the property (his kid's nanny) just like what he did to the other girl.
When a brother in Christ wanted to court that girl, he did everything in his power to silence her voice and to threaten to send her to a different area to live if the brother decided to show up in his property. Sadly, it seems that Craig lacks self awareness because if truely repented and wanted to show that to the people that witnessed what happened he would not have single woman living in his property and treating her the way he did the first one.
Sai Sai (This is the 12 year old girl (now 17) victimized by Craig)

Novi: Nahibaloan namo nga c craig nag share kay Nic about atong nahitabo bitaw atong 2016.. Pero iyang ingon kay Nic is ang girl daw nagka gusto niya and gi falsely accused daw cya sa girl... so meaning ikaw ang gihimong sayop sa tanan
Kay gi asked man gud namo c Manang if gi confess ba ni craig kay Nic to see if worthy pa ba cya ma pastor
Ana Manang Oo daw
Ayaw ka kurat dai ha.. sa imoha mi mulaban gyud ani
Mao to gi ask namo c Nic unsay gi confess ni craig
Mao to nahibaloan namo ikaw ang nahimong scapegoat
But sa among timbang2 you were so young and don’t know what’s right and wrong .. in the eyes of God you not accountable to anything .. it wasn’t your fault at all
(I found out that craig shared with Nic about what happened in 2016. But he told nic that the girl like him and falsely accused him so meaning you were the only one at fault. I asked Ade if Craig confessed to Nic and if he is still worthy to become a pastor. Ade said yes. Dont be shocked. We asked clarified Nic about what Craig confessed.. We found out you were used as a scapegoat.)
Aljean: Para sa akoa te ...wala jud perpekto nato tanan, wa sd ko nangita naa mulaban..ang akoa lang humana man gud to .
Ug kon tinood giing ana ni craig pag ingon. D sya na naa tulobagon, nya nasayup sad ko ato.. So ako na gipanguan sa Dios ug pasaylo..
(For me, Te.. not one of us is perfect, I am not looking for sympathizers...for me, its all done. If its true that Craig said it that way, then thats his own accountability, and then I was at fault too that time...so I already asked God for forgiveness.. )
Novi: Amen say... Pero tungod man gud kay pastor c craig Mao need iclarify ni Nic if worthy pa ba cya magpadayon as pastor
Niabot gyud ang panahon nga kinahanglan gyud ni open up again as written in 1 Timothy 5:19-20 kay aron wala tay tulubagon sa Ginoo.
If Dili cya pastor we could keep it secret forever .. but he is a pastor so lahi ang pag handle diay sa elders
(Amen, say... but because he Craig is a pastor thats why we need to clarify with Nic if he is still worthy to continue to be a pastor.
Time came where this has to be opened again as written in 1 Timothy 5:19-20 so that we dont have accountability from the Lord.
If he is not a pastor, then we could keep it secret forever, but he is a pastor and there is different way to handle elders at sinned.)
Aljean: Kon tungod ato nga panghitabo, humana na tanan. Ako sa akong kaugalingon ako nang gimahayan, ug nangayo jud ko pasaylo sa Ginoo..
And I think mao sad si Cregen, sa makita nako iya sad kausaban..
Nya dugay naman sad kaau to gud.
(If because of that incident, its all done. Me myself I already repented, and asked forgiveness from God.)
Novi: Pasayloon gyud ta tanan sa Ginoo.. ang pangutana karon if worthy pa ba cya ma pastor...
Forgiveness is sure
Say, do you want to talk to Pastor Nic directly if you don’t want to share it with me?
(God surely will forgive us all.. but the question now is if he is still worthy to be a pastor...
Forgiveness is sure.
Say, do you want to talk to Pastor Nic directly if you dont want to share it with me?)
Aljean: D na kailangan te
(No need, Te.)
Novi: Base sa panghitabo say.. do you think craig commit adultery with you?
(based on what happened, Say... do you think Craig commited adutery with you?)
Aljean: Kon mao tu gi confess ni craig... I dont care nasd ui...
Kay mao man sad tu nangahitabo sauna.
I was young,...pero da ui..sauna raman gyud 2..
Kalowbaton baya ni te
1% nalang gyud
(If thats what Craig confessed... I dont care already...
because those are the things that happened before, I was young... but oh no..that was the past already...
My phone is lowbat already, Te.
1% is left)
Novi: Ang question man gud ron sa tanan is... angayan pa ba cya mahimong pastor ? And if Dili na cya angayan and he continues to be a pastor mahimo tang responsible for not saying anything ..
(The question of all is, is he worthy to be a pastor? Because if he is not worthy and continues to be a pastor, we will become responsible for not saying anything...)
I have no real ground of hope for those who have stood as shepherds to the flock, and have for years been borne with by the merciful God, following them with reproof, with warnings, with entreaties, but who have hid their evil ways, and continued in them, thus defying the laws of the God of heaven by practicing fornication.

Aljean:Te mas maau ug si Craig imo e ask about ana..para mas ma clarify ninyo.
(Te, its better if you ask Craig about that...so you will get more clarification.)
Novi:Craig already lied and covered his sin and blamed it all on you
Aljean: That is not my problem te.. I don't want to talk about this anymore..I already repented..
Kung naay mga liking about this issue or mga wrong report, tulubagon na nah nla.. All I know is nagpinasayloay nami personally ug nangau namu pasaylo sa Ginoo..
(If there are leaks about this issue or wrong report, they are accountable for that... All I know is we already asked forgiveness personally and we asked forgiveness from God.)

There has been a shaking. And the only way for God’s people to receive the latter rain now is to remove Achan from the camp. For it is plain in Proverbs 22:12 that “The eyes of the LORD preserve knowledge, and he overthroweth the words of the transgressor.”
