Does anyone know anything about Seventh Day Adventists?

Answer 1

They tend toward being theologically conservative, they are vegetarian, and they believe that the Christian religious service should occur on Saturday, the traditional Jewish Sabbath, rather than Sunday, which arose as the day to worship among non-Jewish early Christians.

Answer 2

I know that they believe that Saturday is the true sabbath. I lived on a dairy farm that was about a block from a Seventh Day Adventist church and every Saturday they would go for walks after church and tell us how we where wrong for working on the Sabbath. I don't know who they thought would milk the cows, I don't think the cows would have liked us taking any day off for rest!

Answer 3

they believe that the end Days are close to, and performance been wondering so in view that their beginning in 1844, even though it hasn't come yet. i wager they omitted Christ's words: Mark 13:32 "...about that day or that hour no another than the daddy knows, neither the angels in heaven nor the Son..." i imagine the Davidians at Waco were seventh Day Adventists. you recognize, those those that the FBI and Texas nationwide safeguard killed. The branch Davidians were kinda like a cult, they branched off from seventh Day Adventists.

Answer 4

SDA's tend to be vegetarian, but it is not "doctrine" in other words you don't HAVE to be vegetarian. They are very Biblical, and they take the Bible literally. They allow the Bible to interpret itself [rather than taking scriptures out of context, they match it with other scriptures that interpret each other]
They keep the 7th Day Holy, as is stated in the Ten commandments. The 7th Day Sabbath is NOT jewish, as the 7th day Sabbath was given to us at creation when Jews did not yet exist. The Sabbath is no more Jewish than the commandment not to steal is. The "changing" of the true Sabbath Day to the first day of the week is a pagan usurpation and deception of man. Satan has "tricked" most of Christianity to worship on the pagan day of sunday, which is a form of sun-worship.

Answer 5

- They are very concerned with health issues and sponsor health programs
-They promote plans to help people quit smoking and consuming alcohol
-The SDA church is a strong supporter of the principle of separation of church and state
-Seventh-day Adventists follow most of the beliefs of conventional conservative Christianity: creation, the fall of mankind in the Garden of Eden, original sin; the virgin birth; the divinity of Christ; the nature of the Trinity; belief in Satan as a rebellious created being; the inerrancy of Scriptures as they were originally written; the resurrection of Jesus, and salvation by the atonement of Christ

Some different beliefs they have include:
-Hell is not eternal; sinners go to Hell with Satan and are burned and totally destroyed rather than left to suffer
-Ellen White as a prophet; reading of her writings
-When a person dies, they remain unconscious until they are resurrected instead of being sent to Heaven or Hell right away. Eternal life is a gift which God gives only to righteous Christians

The practice of Adventism varies greatly from congregation to congregation. Some are more conservative; others more liberal. This is seen in their degree of emphasis on the writings of Ellen White, their customary clothing styles, their order of service, choice of music, etc. Some followers refuse military service as a combatant, but are willing to serve in health care for the military.

Answer 6

it is a group inside the christyanity that is trying to come back to the pure God, after they realized the lies of the church, like the deity of jesus, or the keeping of the sunday.

so, they eat cosher, they keep saturday as the day for God, and some other things, without forgeting jesus as a master.

and as i think, if they have the chance, they will surely become jewish, there is a page www.worldlastchance.com with similar stuff, or you could ask me if interested on knowing what a precious gift God gave us on the books of moises

Answer 7

I know that they consider Saturday the Sabbath and they are VERY strict about observing it... church on Saturday and absolutely no working on that day of the week... they also aren't allowed to eat meat - ever

They have some cultish qualities... be careful

Answer 8

Adventists accept the Bible as their only creed and hold certain fundamental beliefs to be the teaching of the Holy Scriptures. These beliefs, as set forth here, constitute the church's understanding and expression of the teaching of Scripture. Revision of these statements may be expected at a General Conference session when the church is led by the Holy Spirit to a fuller understanding of Bible truth or finds better language in which to express the teachings of God's Holy Word.

1. Holy Scriptures:
The Holy Scriptures, Old and New Testaments, are the written Word of God, given by divine inspiration through holy men of God who spoke and wrote as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. In this Word, God has committed to man the knowledge necessary for salvation. The Holy Scriptures are the infallible revelation of His will. They are the standard of character, the test of experience, the authoritative revealer of doctrines, and the trustworthy record of God's acts in history. (2 Peter 1:20, 21; 2 Tim. 3:16, 17; Ps. 119:105; Prov. 30:5, 6; Isa. 8:20; John 17:17; 1 Thess. 2:13; Heb. 4:12.)

2. Trinity:
There is one God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, a unity of three co-eternal Persons. God is immortal, all-powerful, all-knowing, above all, and ever present. He is infinite and beyond human comprehension, yet known through His self-revelation. He is forever worthy of worship, adoration, and service by the whole creation. (Deut. 6:4; Matt. 28:19; 2 Cor. 13:14; Eph. 4:4-6; 1 Peter 1:2; 1 Tim. 1:17; Rev. 14:7.)


3. Father:
God the eternal Father is the Creator, Source, Sustainer, and Sovereign of all creation. He is just and holy, merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness. The qualities and powers exhibited in the Son and the Holy Spirit are also revelations of the Father. (Gen. 1:1; Rev. 4:11; 1 Cor. 15:28; John 3:16; 1 John 4:8; 1 Tim. 1:17; Ex. 34:6, 7; John 14:9.)

4. Son:
God the eternal Son became incarnate in Jesus Christ. Through Him all things were created, the character of God is revealed, the salvation of humanity is accomplished, and the world is judged. Forever truly God, He became also truly man, Jesus the Christ. He was conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He lived and experienced temptation as a human being, but perfectly exemplified the righteousness and love of God. By His miracles He manifested God's power and was attested as God's promised Messiah. He suffered and died voluntarily on the cross for our sins and in our place, was raised from the dead, and ascended to minister in the heavenly sanctuary in our behalf. He will come again in glory for the final deliverance of His people and the restoration of all things. (John 1:1-3, 14; Col. 1:15-19; John 10:30; 14:9; Rom. 6:23; 2 Cor. 5:17-19; John 5:22; Luke 1:35; Phil. 2:5-11; Heb. 2:9-18; 1 Cor. 15:3, 4; Heb. 8:1, 2; John 14:1-3.)

5. Holy Spirit:
God the eternal Spirit was active with the Father and the Son in Creation, incarnation, and redemption. He inspired the writers of Scripture. He filled Christ's life with power. He draws and convicts human beings; and those who respond He renews and transforms into the image of God. Sent by the Father and the Son to be always with His children, He extends spiritual gifts to the church, empowers it to bear witness to Christ, and in harmony with the Scriptures leads it into all truth. (Gen. 1:1, 2; Luke 1:35; 4:18; Acts 10:38; 2 Peter 1:21; 2 Cor. 3:18; Eph. 4:11, 12; Acts 1:8; John 14:16-18, 26; 15:26, 27; 16:7-13.)

6. Creation:
God is Creator of all things, and has revealed in Scripture the authentic account of His creative activity. In six days the Lord made "the heaven and the earth" and all living things upon the earth, and rested on the seventh day of that first week. Thus He established the Sabbath as a perpetual memorial of His completed creative work. The first man and woman were made in the image of God as the crowning work of Creation, given dominion over the world, and charged with responsibility to care for it. When the world was finished it was ``very good,'' declaring the glory of God. (Gen. 1; 2; Ex. 20:8-11; Ps. 19:1-6; 33:6, 9; 104; Heb. 11:3.)

7. Nature of Man:
Man and woman were made in the image of God with individuality, the power and freedom to think and to do. Though created free beings, each is an indivisible unity of body, mind, and spirit, dependent upon God for life and breath and all else. When our first parents disobeyed God, they denied their dependence upon Him and fell from their high position under God. The image of God in them was marred and they became subject to death. Their descendants share this fallen nature and its consequences. They are born with weaknesses and tendencies to evil. But God in Christ reconciled the world to Himself and by His Spirit restores in penitent mortals the image of their Maker. Created for the glory of God, they are called to love Him and one another, and to care for their environment. (Gen. 1:26-28; 2:7; Ps. 8:4-8; Acts 17:24-28; Gen. 3; Ps. 51:5; Rom. 5:12-17; 2 Cor. 5:19, 20; Ps. 51:10; 1 John 4:7, 8, 11, 20; Gen. 2:15.)
