What do the Seventh Day Adventist teach?
404233
SDA's are "suppose" to teach the keeping of the whole moral law including the seventh day Sabbath which is Saturday, righteousness by faith, perfection in Christ, the refraining from all harmful foods and practices (including all animal products which are diseased), the second coming of Christ, that the Anti-Christ is the Papacy, the state of the dead, the Godhead,the Spirit of Prophecy through EG White. You find that the true SDA's will teach this. There have been some in the mainstream churches who no longer teach these truths which were taught when God gave them to the pioneers of this faith in the 1800's.

L. Ron Hubbard invented it.  I don't really understand what they teach.  I was trying to read about it last week, but I don't get it, here's there link.

This is what I know.  I worked with a guy who was one once.  We were on mandatory 12 hours a day 6 days a week, with voluntary o.t. on Sundays.  He got to leave work an hour before sundown on Friday, and didn't have to work until after daybreak Monday morning.  Great deal isn't it?\n\nAnd, this is the best part, he was dating an underage girl.  He would race from work at noon to go to her home for a "nooner".  So one day he was being an a** about not having to work the weekends\n\nI said, "so, let me get this right, a Seventh-Day Adventist, cannot work the weekends to honor God.  But they CAN screw their underage and illegal girlfriend in her parents home.  Great Religion!\n\nSo really, they are like all Christians, some are devout and truly believe, some are the "feel gooders" that only go to church to hedge their bets, and some are scum.  See just like every other type.

Been listening to a Seventh Day Advenstist?\n\nLet's consider that Latin, Greek, and Hebrew have numerical values assigned to various letters in their alphabets. In Latin the values are: I = 1, V = 5, X = 10; L = 50, C = 100, D = 500, M = 1,000. By extension W = 10 (because W = VV, or two Vs together), and U = V (because there was no\nletter U for the Romans; where you see the letter U in modern writing, use the letter V instead). \n\nYou claim, correctly, that Vicarius Filii Dei does add up to 666 in Latin: Vicarius = 112; Filii = 53; Dei = 501. (Ignore letters which are not assigned a numerical value.)\n\nThe problem is that Vicarius Filii Dei is not a title of the pope. One of his titles, in fact his chief title, is Vicarius Christi (Vicar of Christ), but, unfortunately for all those who insist on using this ploy, Vicarius\nChristi adds up to only a measly 214, not the infernal 666.\n \nSince the average person, Catholic, Protestant, or otherwise, hasn't the foggiest idea what the pope's titles are in Latin or English, anti-Catholics (some of whom know better) can get away with this subterfuge.\n\nBut what if one of the pope's titles did add up to 666?Would that coincidence prove the pope is the\nbeast? Hardly. It would prove nothing because lots of names and titles add up to 666.\n\nBy using a nifty little technique you can force a Seventh-Day Adventist to admit that the addition to 666 proves nothing, even when it's a papal title that's in questions. \n\n(I'm not picking on Seventh Day Adventists. It's just that the last time I encountered this argument, it came from one. And a nifty little coincidence helped me diprove this person's theory.)\n\nHere's how. Do the math and you will see that the woman who started Seventh-Day Adventism, Ellen Gould White, adds up to 666: Ellen = 100, Gould = 555, White =11.\n\nDoes that fact prove that the foundress of Seventh Day Adventism is the beast?\n\nOf course not, but that would also indicate that Vicarius Filei Dei adding up to 666 is every bit as meaningless as well.\n\nBut, if stubborness rules, and you still want to believe that Vicarius Filei Dei=666=the beast - then you are forced to admit that everyone who's name adds up to 666 is a spawn of Satan. That's just a little ridiculous.\n\nSee? Either way, the claim collapses into absurdity; where it belongs!\n\nHope this helps.

To say that both are wrong and totally contrary to what the bible teaches is total ignorance.  It shows that this person knows nothing about what she is saying in the least or she would know that the Seventh Day Adventist church is all about going directly by the bible and the bible only verses the other churches that go by the tradition of the Catholic Church.  All one has to do is to look at what the leaders in the churches have said about it or read how the law of God was changed by the Catholic Church and is followed by most of the other churches when there is no scriptural authority to do so.  \n\nTo answer your question, there are parallels such as modesty.  Both faiths believe in modesty in dress although some do not adhere to it as well as they need to.  Health, both believe in eating healthy and leaving out those things that will hurt you that God said not to eat as they are a health hazard.  On relationships, both believe in first a good relationship with God, then family.  God should always come first in anything we do.  Then spouse, with a full life together with no divorce, then children and then the rest of the family.  There are going to be some in any religious denomination that do not adhere to all the tenets of the church but all in all, there are many aspects that are similar in the Adventist and Islamic faiths.  To follow the truth in any church, you need go to scripture to see if it is according to God or man.  As in Isaiah 8:20, "to the law, (God's law) and to the testimony, (God's teachings) if they do not speak according to this Word, (the bible) there is NO LIGHT in them."  Let that be your test of what is truth.  If it is not according to the bible, don't believe it as it is lies.  There are many parallels in the two faiths you mentioned but there are some very distinct differences that you should note if you study both.  In Islam, they do not go by the bible alone but have a prophet that teaches things that are not in the bible.  As even the Catholic Church has in her writings, and I can show you in print from their publishers, "if you want to go by the scripture only, you need to be a Seventh Day Adventist."  Other churches take the traditions and teachings of the Catholic Church and do not even realize where it comes from for the most part and those that do know, are not telling the congregations the truth.

Absolutely not.\n\nThe Aztec religion taught that people had to be ritually sacrificed every day to ensure that the sun rose the next morning.\n\nMany religious teachings today are no better.

Seventh-Day Adventists? They are the present day Judeizers--trying to get the gentile church back under The Law.\n\nHence is the point regarding the question. If you want to see who is keeping ALL the doctrine of the New Testament (as much as is humanly possible) you need to identify in history who the church of Philadephia is in the book of Revelation.

You'll usually find classes like that given by the Anthropology Department or as part of a Religious Studies curriculum.  Usually, it'll be an objective view of how this subject fits in with a particular culture's social or religious beliefs.

You are right!\n\nAnd do you know that they are teaching that languages were not created at the Tower of Bable but that they "evolve" as well?\n\nWe need to get the Bible back into the schools!\n\nGod bless

Seventh Day Adventists believe that we should observe the same day of rest and worship as the Israelites, whose days began from sundown til sundown, and Sabbath was from sundown Friday until sundown Saturday. Most folks today recognize Sunday as the last day of the week (or as the first ) and the one that is reserved for most religious services. For 7DA, it's about whether you are a Sunday keeper or a Sabbath keeper.

Logically, I would have to say "Yes". We're probably teaching them alot about "What NOT to do". They're probably very depressed at how we treat each other and how we scratch and claw to attain possesions and how we ignore the blessings that God gives us every day.

Not obeying God's Word.\n\nExo 20:8  Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. \nExo 20:9  Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: \nExo 20:10  But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: \nExo 20:11  For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. \nExo 20:12  Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. \nExo 20:13  Thou shalt not kill. \nExo 20:14  Thou shalt not commit adultery. \nExo 20:15  Thou shalt not steal. \nExo 20:16  Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour. \nExo 20:17  Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.

Missionaries mainly. America has heard the message. So, many Churches are supporting Missionaries to other countries and providing those people with Bibles in their own language. Moody Bible Institute sends people to some areas just to learn the language and translate a Bible for them. It is really interesting how those people enjoy getting a Bible. They act like you just gave them a new life. ;-)

Dear child, I feel I must answer you...you keep on asking ?about the Sabbath. In the new testament Jesus said old things are put away...the teachings of the sabbath is one of them, this was before the death of Christ.\nAlong with keeping the sabbath there were many other  requirements, like sacrificing, which we no longer have to do because Jesus did it for us. He was the ultimate sacrifice. I hope this helps you and GOD BLESS

Here is what that teaching is based upon:\n\nAdam and Eve both disobeyed God by being lured by the Enemy and entering into the prideful act of thinking they knew more than their Heavenly Father and Creator. Consequently, their sin became the heritage of all men and women in the future – we all sinners who fall short of the glory of God.\n\nMary came under full obedience to God – see the Magnificat – which was in direct contrast to what Eve had done. She became the “Mother of God” by her willingness to give up all that she willed to do what God willed.\n\nJesus, because of his obedience – broke the power of sin and death and just as one man (Adam) brought us all into sin, the obedience of one man (Jesus) brings anyone who chooses to follow him out of sin.\n\nIt has nothing to do with procreation and all to do with obedience – giving up self; killing the flesh (pride), and obeying God in whatever he calls us to do.

Christian protestant churches teach Scripture.  The bible is the authority.\nOrthodox churches teach some Scripture, but much like the Catholic church, they teach traditions as well.  \nThe Orthodox make a big thing about Mary and their Icons as well.
