This doctrine is so embarrassing, you won't find any Adventist attempting to defend it

There is ZERO scriptural proof of the idea that confessed sins are transferred to the sanctuary by sprinkling.
And NOBODY outside Ellen White has ever claimed thus. Ellen White claimed it without any PROOF and because she is 'inspired' and 'infallible', Adventists believe it unquestioningly. The blood of the sacrifice cleanses and never defiles -

All I ask is proof of sins transferred to the sanctuary by sprinkling of blood
All I get from the unstable and unlearned and their deranged prophet is NOTHING:tonofbricks: -
Am still waiting for a single verse that has sins transferred from the sacrifice to the sanctuary. But with the UNLEARNED and the UNSTABLE, looks like I will wait forever. watch them now resort to semantics.
'Bear away'. Is that equivalent to transfer?
Cambridge Bible

The Levites were supposed to either eat the sin offering inside the sanctuary and pour blood outside or bring the blood into the sanctuary and burn the animal outside.
None of these activities transferred sins from the sacrifice to the sanctuary. You won't find nothing of the sort in the scriptures But then again, doctrines of Devils need not be found in the scriptures, else they would not be of devils -

All depends on what you consider "the sanctuary" is.
"the sanctuary" no longer is the symbol of death which the 'tabernacle' in the desert symbolised ---IN WHOLE, symbolised.
In contrast we have The LIVING Sanctuary which is the raised from the dead JESUS CHRIST. We tabernacle IN HIM: "Your lives HIDDEN WITH CHRIST IN GOD".
"the sanctuary" no longer is Jesus' grave which it for a brief single day on earth, in the earth, once for all, was.
BUT: "BEING RESTED UP AGAIN HIS NAME, IS : THE MOST HOLY PLACE!" Isaiah 57:15
Since Resurrected, Jesus Christ is our ---believers', Sanctuary and can all Psalms and Praises and Prayers be offered up to Him who represents us before the Throne of God indeed "AT HIS OWN RIGHT HAND".
That's where Our Sanctuary Himself found sanctuary. We have no other sanctuary than his and Him.

If Jesus Christ, were your <<sins transferred to>> HIM? --- for Him to <<bear away>>?
Well, if yes, was that not what the sanctuary of the Old Testament foreshadowed?
Their (our) SIN was (is) in their (our) blood. Christ's blood was in his LIFE. Dying for us literally--giving his LIFE for us in reality, Jesus metaphorically, "shed his blood" for us. If we want Christ to have paid the penalty wages of our life of sin, we had to have had our sins transferred to Our Sanctuary.

I know you are into typologies and all that. Can we please first establish whether in the Old Testament there was any HINT of sin transfer onto the sanctuary vide the blood of sin offering or the priest eating the sacrifice in the holy place?
PS: sanctuary has several meanings
1. The entire structure,
2. The outer court
3. The inner court
See, before you attempt to see Christ in Leviticus, you should understand Levi. An erroneous understanding of Levi forces you to go hunting for a corresponding antitype in NT. You end up transferring your error onto the antitype and where it does not fit, you cook up stuff.
Example. Supposing you thought the high priest did X while he didn't. You will attempt to explain how X finds fulfillment in Christ. But Christ never fulfilled X because there was no X in the first place.
Adventists to my knowledge are the ONLY group in the entire world that believe blood sprinkled infront of the curtain during sin offerings and on the mercy seat on Day of Atonement TRANSFERRED sins onto the sanctuary, defiling it in the process. In short, sacrifices defiled the sanctuary. The sanctuary was cleansed of this defilement on Atonement by confessing the sins to the other goat...Azazel.
Following this bizarre belief, they vigorously hunt for its antitype in the New Testament. And that's how you end up with a literal sanctuary within heaven where Christ entered from 1844 and has been busy cleansing it.
If there was no sin transferred onto the sanctuary by the blood of the sin sacrifice or eating it in the sanctuary, there'd be no need for this ridiculous theory of theirs of forgiven-but-not-yet blotted-away
