What do Seventh Day Adventists Believe?

Seventh-day Adventists differ in four areas of beliefs from the mainstream Trinitarian Christian denominations. These are:

The Sabbath day

The doctrine of the heavenly sanctuary

The writings of Ellen White

Their doctrine of the second coming and millennium.

1.Catholicism is "fallen"

2.Protestant religions are Babylon

3.God does not hear the prayers of non-Adventists

4.Jesus does not intercede for non-Adventists

5.Non-SDA revivals are false

6.Non-SDA conversions to Christ are not real

7.God's Spirit is largely withdrawn from non-SDA Churches

8.Non-SDA Christians are worse than heathens

You only emphasize commandment four.

What about one, two, three, five, six, seven eight, nine and ten? Have you ever told a lie? Say to your mother or your boss? Have you stolen anything ever, even once? Have you looked at another person with lust? Have you coveted, wishing that you had what someone else has? Have you hated some one? If you have you have committed murder in your heart. Have you always, all of your life, honored your father and your mother?

James 2:10-11 (KJV)

10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. 11For he that said, "Do not commit adultery", said also, "Do not kill". Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law.

1.You shall have no other gods before me.

2.You shall not make for yourself any carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.

3.You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.

4.Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your manservant, nor your maidservant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.

5.Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you.

6.You shall not murder.

7.You shall not commit adultery.

8.You shall not steal.

9.You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

10.You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor’s.

Show me how you keep all 613 Old Testament laws.. You can't even keep the ten commandments. I bet you've lied to your mother or your boss. I bet you haven't "Loved the Lord you God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength". I bet you've coveted. If you have hated you're guilty of murder.

"Christ came to free us from the CURSE of the law". All who rely on the law are under a CURSE".

Read Joshua 6. The Angel of the Lord told Joshua to march around Jericho once a day for six days, and on the seventh day they were told to march around the city seven times and then blow their ram's horns and shout to bring the walls down.

They marched a total of seven days, including on the Sabbath, which had been given to them when Moses was still leading them. God told the Israelites to 'work' on the Sabbath.

Colossians 2:16 "Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a new moon celebration, or A SABBATH DAY''.

Galatians 3:10: "All who rely on the law are under a CURSE

Matthew 12:8 "The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath".

Matthew 12:12 "It is lawful to do good on the Sabbath".

Mark 2:27 "The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath".

Mark 3:4 "Which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill?"

Luke 13:16 "Then should not this woman, a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has kept bound for eighteen long years, be set free on the Sabbath day from what bound her?"

John 7:23 "Now if a child can be circumcised on the Sabbath so that the law of Moses may not be boken, why are you angry with me for healing the whole man on the Sabbath?

Romans 10:4 "Christ is the end of the law".

James 2:10 "Whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it&

Update:

B knott wildered-Please explain-I have never heard of 1844 in the Bible.

    So here is the copy and paste queen who is looking to see how much dirt she can dig up on this SDA Church. Hmmm...not love and will not end well for her.

    So why do you have this desire to burn and attack the truth do you? No worries, Hogie will be along soon and you will like his lies. He was to dumb to know he was in a real Sabbath keeping cult for 25 years. You will learn some new lies form him you can spread that will help you burn a little hotter for not having a love of the truth but loving the lie instead.

    So you want to know about 1844 do you?

    This is when a BAPTIST preacher called William Miller understood Daniel 8 but did not understand what the cleansing of the sanctuary was and thought it meant the earth and so thought it meant the return of Christ.

    This was a HUGE historical event that involved EVERY denomination on the face of planet earth. Everyone thought Christ was going to return. History called this the great disappointment.

    Many of these people from all denominations kept on studying the scripture on this and realized where this Baptist preacher went wrong.

    20 years later the SDA Church was formed by the ones who worked out the TRUE meaning of this passage.

    Now there is the real truth and not the ignorance. many say Miller was SDA. Wrong! He was an Adventist as are we ALL. An Adventist is anyone who believes in the second coming of Christ and another fact that most are clueless on.

    So B knott wildered has believed the lies like you. So you are in good company.

    @EDIT Hogie came along just as always. What a hypocrite. The Ten Commandment troll of Yahoo that was to arrogant and proud to know he was in a cult for 25 years.

    How he loves to let Satan drive him to insulting others for what he did for most of his life.

    You should choose him as best answer. You two make a good couple!

    I didn't quite read all your writing because it's so lengthy but I assure you that God does hear every prayer and Jesus does intercede for everyone who offers up a sincere prayer to God from the heart. It doesn't matter what denomination they belong to or even don't belong to any at all. I'm sorry to say that many of your points are not valid like points 3 to 8.

    Also ALL the commandments are important. The christian life is to be a balanced one and one that brings glory to God. A Christian (also a SDA Christian) need to be honest, caring/kind, live a morally pure life, be responsible etc..

    Here is Colossians 2:16 from an expert theologian used by all Pastors since you have no idea.

    Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible, LL.D., F.S.A., (1715-1832)

    “Colossians 2:14 - Blotting out the hand-writing of ordinances - By the hand-writing of ordinances the apostle most evidently means the ceremonial law: this was against them, for they were bound to fulfill it; and it was contrary to them, as condemning them for their neglect and transgression of it. This law God himself has blotted out.

    Nailing it to his cross - When Christ was nailed to the cross, our obligation to fulfill these ordinances was done away.”

    Colossians 2:16 - Let no man judge you in meat, or in drink - The apostle speaks here in reference to some particulars of the hand-writing of ordinances, which had been taken away, and the necessity of observing certain holydays or festivals, such as the new moons and particular sabbaths, or those which should be observed with more than ordinary solemnity; all these had been taken out of the way and nailed to the cross, and were no longer of moral obligation. There is no intimation here that the Sabbath was done away, or that its moral use was superseded, by the introduction of Christianity. I have shown elsewhere that, Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy, is a command of perpetual obligation, and can never be superseded but by the final termination of time. As it is a type of that rest which remains for the people of God, of an eternity of bliss, it must continue in full force till that eternity arrives; for no type ever ceases till the antitype be come.”

    Why do you mention 613 laws? How many reasons do you have you to avoid ONE Commandment?

    God will not honour you attack on others like this or your attack on His law.

    Many of these laws were instituted because of sin (example Passover) and hence were in fact only for the Jews because the Gospel did not go to the Gentiles until after the sacrificial law ended at the cross. But the Ten Commandments of course are very much a stand alone law for all mankind. They were written by the finger of God, personally spoken by God and were stored in the inside of the Ark of the Covenant under the mercy seat, which represented the very presence of God. Clearly the Ten Commandments are extremely important to God. Most of these other laws have now ended but not so with the Ten Commandments. Some examples of the other laws were unclean (unhealthy) foods, laws to prevent the spread of leprosy, mold in houses or a woman being unclean once a month. Lately I have begun to see attempts to diminish the importance of the Ten Commandments by saying there are 613 laws. But clearly it is foolishness to compare laws to stop the spread of disease for example to the Ten Commandments that God wrote in stone! http://www.the-ten-commandments.org/the-ten-comman...

    What a horrid pile of hatred and lies. This is against yahoo guidelines and this is not really a question but a rant of hatred on others you hate. You gave your opinions and most are lies and I do not belong to this Church but I do keep the Sabbath.

    1 John 4:20 "If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?"

    And what about the other hundreds of denomination that keep the Sabbath which you have made very clear is your issue?

    Why do you hate God so much and why do you hate spending time with Him on His holy day?

    So you say, "You only emphasize commandment four."

    Really? So if all Christians were running around murdering other people and saying the Commandment that says thou shalt not murder is done away with, you would not be emphasizing that this was wrong and that the Commandment had not ended? Are you that clueless that you cannot see why?

    Did it ever occur to your hate filled mind that those who can tell the difference between laws which you clearly cannot, are doing what the do because they know Satan attacked this law and so are trying to reveal the truth to the deceived like you?

    Of course if Satan has done a good con job on the Church, then those who know scripture will be emphasizing the truth on what happened! Why is this not obvious to you?

    And the Ten Commandments and the Ordinances are two separate things. The ordinances are what were practiced because of sin such as the meat and rink offerings and the feast days and new moons and sacrificial Sabbaths such as Passover. Even the Strong's and Thayer dictionary tell you this for the word in Colossians 2:14.

    Note Luke 1:6 which is before the cross of course, “And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the "Commandments" AND "Ordinances" of the Lord blameless.”

    So as for Colossians 2:16, in verse 14 Paul says the “Ordinances!” This is the sacrificial law. Not the Ten Commandments. Sabbath days in Colossians 2:16 is plural in the Greek and refers to Passover Sabbath and Day of Atonement Sabbath and 5 others that were all because of sin which was the breaking of the Ten Commandments of which the Lord’s Sabbath was one of. Meat and drink, holy day, new moons were what was practiced for sin. http://www.colossians-2-16.com/

    So wrong law! Jesus ended the sacrificial law! Not the Tern Commandments.

    You do know the Lord's Sabbath was written stone don't you and the sacrificial Sabbaths were written in the Book of the Law?

    God is not a fool that wrote His Sabbath in the wrong law. Okay?

    And Jesus saying the Sabbath was made to be a blessing for man does not magically end the Commandment.

    Jesus was telling the Pharisees that the Sabbath was made to be a blessing to man and not a set of legalistic rules that they were trying to turn it into. The Sabbath was made for man at creation where everyone kept. So what has changed? All the Commandments were made for man! Can we pick and choose the others also? No! http://www.the-ten-commandments.org/the_sabbath_wa...

    So much ignorance and hatred for others and spending quality time with God.

    The Sabbath is my favorite day of the week and NO one is going to steal this blessing from me that you are so desperate to avoid. Satan sure got you, didn't he?

    Seventh-day Adventists believe in Christ and in Christ alone for our salvation. We believe in upholding the Law of Christ. This includes the "TRUE SABBATH."

    Exodus 20:8-11

    Romans 10:9,17

    Ephesians 2:8,9

    John 14:6

    John 1:12

    They also believe that the year given in the Bible, 1844, is correct but that the return of Christ did not occur that year as they originally thought. They now teach that they had the year right, they just had the event wrong.
