do u know adventist?! seventh day adventist??

Question

what do u think of them?

Answer 1

I question some of their beliefs but from a "good works" standpoint, they have done an enormous amount of good through hospitals and such..

Answer 2

I was christened Episcopalian, raised Methodist and Baptist, studied some with Jehovah Witness, spent a year with the Mormons, attended Catholic Mass and chanted with the Buddhists. What I learned is that they all have two basic concepts; to love their God as they know Him, and to love their fellow man, and then they will "kill" one another over doctrinal differences. Through all my searching and study I have come to the conclusion that the Seventh-Day Adventists follow the Bible the most closely and they are not a cult because the prophetess never pointed to herself as the leader. She said she was the lesser light pointing to the Greater Light (Bible) and she would have never had to write if people would have only studied. It was a man named Miller that started that idea about a date that things would come to an end. The Bible completely states that no man knows the day nor the hour of Christ's return. What does it matter anyway as long as you make your today as though it is your last because you never know....things happen. The important thing to know is that we each one are beautifully and wonderfully made and we are greatly loved by our Creator. Mmm

Answer 3

My grandmother is a seventh day adventist.... She's the most christian woman I know.

I found this funny, when my brother was working at Kinko's one of the girls he worked with was commenting on how all the church people would rush in early sunday morning for copies of whatever for the day's services.... "Those seventh day adventists, they really have it together, at least they all show up on saturday mornings..."

Big laughs.

Answer 4

My uncle is a Seventh Day Adventist minister.

I love him and his whole family, but his religion is based so much on legalism and works that I can't believe in that. (The finished work of Jesus Christ is where I lay my hope.) But it is true that they have done a lot of good in this world.

Answer 5

Seventh-day Adventists are people who believe the Bible is true. They are people, who have one of the best health systems in the world. They are people who on the average live longer than the general population. They are people who remember the Sabbath day to keep it Holy, like Jesus did, not like the Pharasees. I am proud to be a 5th generation Seventh-day Adventist. Being one won't save me...but my relationship with my Lord and Savior will. The Seventh-day Adventist church as a group follows the teachings in the Holy Bible closer than any other modern church...I did research and that's why I am still in that church. Some people think that the Adventists base their salvation on legalism and works...Just because we believe what Christ says...and the apostles...does that make us legalists. Works do not save us, they only reflect on who our Lord is. We have works because we have faith...God's grace alone is what saves us. Not one of us humans is free of sin, or deserving the salvation that Jesus paid for. The Christian commission is to preach the Good News to everyone...obedience can not be considered legalism. Jesus said, "If you love Me, keep My commandments." His commandments were the same when he wrote them on stone for Moses, and when he writes them in your heart today...Love and serve God with your entire being, and love and serve your fellow humans...as Christ loved us. Enough to die for us...

Answer 6

Misled...

The evidence is clear that the early church (in the apostles' lifetimes) met on the first day of the week. We have the writings of early Christians like Justin Martyr (First Apology, 156 A.D.) and Tertullian (Ad Nationes, c. 200 A.D.) among others, indicating that the church "celebrated" Sunday OVER A CENTURY before the time at which the SDA clams that the day was changed.

IF, as they claim, the early church met on Sabbath, how did these writers know about meeting on Sunday a century before it happened?

Answer 7

A disturbing cult started by a rampant pedophile with vanglorious dreams of self importance. A blot on the world's history.

They were interesting to read about, but more fun to watch slowly wither away as their own religious beliefs destroy them one by one with every "prophecy" that doesn't come to pass.

Answer 8

I was raised one.

They're crazy.
