Legalism run amok. Borderline cultists. Ellen G. White before Christ in too many instances.

My aunt and her hubby are adventists. On the surface, they seem normal, but their beliefs are not. We have noticed a great difference in my aunt since becoming one. She now pays more attention and cares more for her church people than her own family. What was okay to eat is no longer okay to eat - because they go by the OT when it comes to food. But, when you tell them something the OT says, they say it doesn't apply! A good example is the OT saying not to start a fire on the Sabbath. Well, turning on your oven, your heat or starting your car starts a fire (spark plugs). They also believe that anyone who attends church on any day other than Friday sundown to Sat. sundown is going to go to hell. Some of them talk of alien life as well, like they know for sure there are people on other planets. If a SDA tells you this is not the truth, they are lying. I have read all their materials and know for a fact it is true!
And they follow the teachings of Ellen G. White who has been proven, using their own books, to have contradicted Jesus Christ over 50 times!!!!! False prophet, false church!

These are the things that come to mind when I hear "Seventh Day Adventist": vegetarianism, seventh-day religious observance, clean cut people but strict and exacting in their beliefs, products of the American-religion-making-machine
that turns out one sect after another, product of 19th century expectations of the imminent return of the Lord which failed to happen....stuff like that. Our first amendment guaranteed the proliferation of religions and the 19th century produced quite a few: Christian Science, Seventh-Day Adventism, Mormonism, Bible Students (later called Jehovah's Witnesses), and on and on.

What comes to mind is, who gives a crap what day of the week to observe the Sabbath? Jesus didn't care.
Every denomination has found its own way to pervert the religion that Jesus had. And they call themselves christians.

To be able to comment, you need to at least show us what is their basic teachings?
There's nothing wrong in observing Saturday as the Sabbath. Actually, it is CORRECT. Because that's what the Jews are doing.

Actually, I'm quite uninformed so I would say (and I could be wrong): they don't celebrate holidays, they're kinda like Jehova's witnesses and the name makes me want to drink a 7-Up :-) Ya...that's about it.

Cult that teaches Jesus is God but also that he is Michael. They believe that Christ did not complete atonement at Calvary.
