What is Seventh-day Adventism, and what do Seventh-day Adventists believe?
Seventh-day Adventism, Seventh-day Adventists
Seventh-day Adventism is a sect of Christianity that believes, among other things, that worship services should be conducted on the “seventh day” (the Sabbath) instead of on Sunday. There seem to be different "degrees" of Seventh-day Adventism. Some Seventh-day Adventists believe identically to orthodox Christians, other than holding to the Saturday Sabbath. Other Adventists, however, go much further into aberrant doctrine.
Seventh-day Adventism has its roots in Adventism, a 19th-century movement that anticipated the imminent appearance (or advent) of Jesus Christ. The Adventists were also called Millerites because their group was founded by William Miller, a false prophet who predicted Jesus would return in either 1843 or 1844. When Miller’s prediction of Christ’s second coming failed to come to pass, the Millerites disbanded in dismay; this event became known as the “Great Disappointment.” But then a couple of Miller’s followers claimed to have visions to account for the failed prophecy. Instead of coming to earth, Jesus had entered the heavenly temple—thus, Miller was right, after all, they said, except his prophecy had a spiritual fulfillment instead of a physical one. One of the seers who covered for Miller was 17-year-old Ellen G. Harmon, who had her first of 2,000 purported visions in a prayer meeting shortly after Miller’s disgrace. With her vision, Ellen soon became a beacon of hope for disillusioned Millerites. She united Adventist factions and became the spiritual guide for a new religious group.
In 1846, Ellen married James White, an Adventist preacher. Soon they became convinced that Sabbath-keeping was for all Christians. In 1847, Ellen G. White had another vision—this one confirming her new belief that Sabbath-keeping was to be a primary doctrine. The Adventists under Ellen G. White’s influence became Seventh-day Adventists. Ellen G. White’s many visions and writings—she was a prolific writer—greatly shaped the doctrine of Seventh-day Adventism. Today, most Seventh-day Adventists still consider Ellen White to be a prophetess of God, even though many of her prophecies failed to come true. In fact, Seventh-day Adventists consider Revelation 19:10 (“the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy”) to be a reference to Ellen G. White’s writings.
In 1855, the Seventh-day Adventists settled in Battle Creek, Michigan, and in May 1863 the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists was officially incorporated. In the next five decades, Ellen G. White wrote nearly 10,000 pages of prophetic material. Included in the visions was the doctrine of “The Great Controversy,” a cosmic war being waged between Jesus and His angelic army and Satan and his. Other visions dealt with healthy eating habits, which Mrs. White called “the gospel of health” (Testimonies for the Church, Vol. 6, p. 327). Seventh-day Adventism places restrictions on consuming meat, or “flesh food,” as Adventists call it. “Flesh food is injurious to health, and whatever affects the body has a corresponding effect on the mind and the soul” (The Ministry of Healing, Chapter 24: “Flesh as Food,” p. 316). It is no surprise that, after requiring Sabbath-keeping, Adventists began to add other elements of legalism into their creed.
Interestingly, Kellogg’s Corn Flakes was an Adventist creation: John Harvey Kellogg was a Seventh-day Adventist doctor in Battle Creek who wanted to manufacture a “healthy” vegetarian alternative to “unhealthy” breakfasts containing meat. Meanwhile, Mrs. White kept having visions, and she began teaching the unorthodox doctrines of soul sleep and annihilationism (which contradicts Matthew 25:46).
Other problematic doctrines in Seventh-day Adventism include the teaching that Satan is the “scapegoat” and will bear believers’ sins (The Great Controversy, p. 422, 485)—this is the opposite of what the Bible says about who bore our sins (1 Peter 2:24). Seventh-day Adventism also identifies Jesus as Michael the archangel (Jude 1:9, Clear Word Bible, published by Review and Herald Publishing Association, 1994)—a doctrine that denies the true nature of Christ—and teaches that Jesus entered a second phase of His redemptive work on October 22, 1844, as prophesied by Hiram Edson. And, of course, the Adventist promotion of Sabbath-keeping as a primary doctrine goes against the teaching of Scripture on the matter (see Romans 14:5).
Seventh-Day Adventism is a diverse movement, and not all SDA groups hold to all the doctrines mentioned above. But all Seventh-Day Adventists should seriously consider the following: a recognized prophetess in their church was a teacher of aberrant doctrine, and their church has its roots in the failed prophecies of William Miller.
So, should a Christian attend a Seventh-day Adventist church? Due to the penchant of Adventists to accept extra-biblical revelation and the doctrinal issues mentioned above, we would strongly encourage believers to not get involved in Seventh-day Adventism. Yes, a person can be an advocate of Seventh-day Adventism and still be a believer. At the same time, there are enough potential risks to warn us against joining a Seventh-day Adventist church.
Look who conscious is bothering him now but refuses to hear Father YHWH's set apart Holy Spirit (that is not another 'trinity' of 'gods'!) but of the Father Himself, speaking to tinyinfaithdavid about His HOLY SABBATH 7th DAY and he is TRULY getting nervous now because he claims Isaiah is NOW no longer a PROPHET that tells us what will take place in the FUTURE!
That's right folks, you just cannot make this stuff up as you read tinydavid's most recent false teaching posts that exposes his obvious ERROR! You see tinyinfaithdavid to self made doctrine to that of Father YHWH's NEVER changing Torah Law, claims its 'unbiblical' to keep the HOLY and SANCTIFIED 7th day Sabbath NOW by his own CULTISH words and its a 'false doctrine' to boot by his own words above - QUOTE - 'false doctrines which includes unbiblical sabbath keeping'
We should not have to ask this but with the likes of false teachers like tinyinfaithdavid here, then it goes to asking - Is Isaiah a false PROPHET about the future??? tinyinfaithdavid says he is because he LIED according to tinyinfaithdavid when he INSPIRATIONALLY writes - 66:23 - ' And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and >>>from one Sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me<<<, saith the MASTER CREATOR.' BUUUUT tinyinfaithdavid says in his own FILTHY PAGAN SINFUL THOUGHTS - 'Isaiah is in the Old Testament and he wrote BEFORE JESUS FULFILLED the Sabbath.' REALLY, so Isaiah was wrong and the Messiah is correcting that error? LOL!
NOTE readers, the CULTIST tinyinfaithdavid does NOT provide ANY VERSES supporting his devilish self 'god' made doctrine outside Scripture! ZELCH, ZERO Scripture to support his teachings! Why is that? Because he hears his master the devil, which is a spirit, in attempting like his father the devil, to change YHWH's Torah Law that never changes and the ONLY part that is FULFILLED (that tinyinstudydavid lack of study time in understanding) is the animal sacrifices and earthly priest duties that all pointed forward to the coming Messiah Yah'shua that replaced the animal sacrifices (as a better and ONLY TRUE sacrifice!) and IS THE ONLY HIGH PRIEST NOW!
Folks the bottom line here when you read tinyinstudydavid posts above here, that NO WHERE in the Bible does it say - QUOTE - 'Christians started to meet on Sunday' and tinyinstudydavid STILL has NOT provided a verse or verses stating this HUGE change of CREATION OF AN ENTIRE 7TH DAY SABBATH TO ANOTHER DAY LIKE THE FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK, THAT FOLLOWS THE 7TH DAY SABBATH, WHICH OF COURSE THE FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK >>>IS ALWAYS<<< THE START OF A NEW WORK WEEK AND NOT A DAY OF REST, AUTHORIZED AND ORDAINED BY FATHER YHWH! GEESH! Where does tinyinstudydavid dream up these FALSE TEACHINGS readers??? WAIT, his new name says it all - tinyinstudydavid! LOL!
And we have not even addressed his other HUGE assumption, that is his so called SUN-day, that is all found is his worshipped PAGAN >>>PAPER<<< calendar, invented by a ROMAN CEASER and ignorant tinydavid has not a CLUE he ASSUMES the first day of the week in the Bible is NOT SUN-day but ONLY on a PAGAN CULT ROMAN CALENDAR can you find these LIES! It has NOTHING to do with the TRUE BIBLICAL CALENDAR that goes by the MOTIONS of the SUN, MOON and STARS, ORDAINED by the CREATOR YHWH! What an IDIOT tinydavid is, believing also in his 'orbiting planets' and a SUN WORSHIPPED centered 'solar system' from the PAGANS that call themselves SCIENCE but are really a religion!!!??? LMBO!
So AGAIN I ASK - Where is the verse and witness to >>>claim<<< the HOLY and SANCTIFIED 7th Day Sabbath is now 'unbiblical' and not to be kept??? Prove it tinyinfaithdavid!!!
Isaiah DISAGREES with you, you continual sinner!
66:23 - ' And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and >>>from one Sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me<<<, saith the MASTER CREATOR.'
How come it takes such long lengthy boring incoherent posts for the TeddyBug to defend one simple sentence that exposes his many false teachings⁉️⁉️⁉️😂😇😇
Where is that - QUOTE - 'one simple sentence that exposes his many false teachings' then??? You talk your trash but you don't walk the walk in showing proof!
HERE IS HOW YOU PROVE THINGS THAT PEOPLE SAID LIKE YOU!!!!
littledavid writes - 'false doctrines which includes unbiblical sabbath keeping!'

You’ve been lying on the forum for years, not just about me but you’ve lied about many other people as well. So when you lie about me, that’s proof I can take to the bank I’m doing a good job exposing your lies.
Your latest lie about me, I never said the law is “unbiblical”‼️‼️ Go back and read my post and repent of all you lies about me and being sinless and perfect and then stop your false teachings ‼️‼️‼️
Did you not write this, you LIAR littledavid about the HOLY AND SANCTIFIED 7th Day Sabbath??? Here it is and this is how you properly show PROOF! You make my case so easy to expose you!
QUOTE of tinyinfaithdavid - 'false doctrines which includes unbiblical sabbath keeping'
That's right folks, you just cannot make this stuff up as you read tinydavid's most recent false teaching posts that exposes his obvious ERROR! You see tinyinfaithdavid by his own self made doctrine and wording, to that of Father YHWH's NEVER changing Torah Law, claims its 'unbiblical' to keep the HOLY and SANCTIFIED 7th day Sabbath and its linked to be a 'false doctrine' to boot by his own words above!-
Talk about being a preschooler!!!?? He even admits he is one, when he says about himself QUOTE - 'I guess I really am.' LOL!
Remember readers then what tinydavid stated in his own words, QUOTE - 'false doctrines which includes unbiblical sabbath keeping'!!!
Note how the immature lad and 'preschooler' (that he admits to being!) tries now to WEASEL his way out of his actual words and quote above, when he claimed 'sabbath keeping' that our dear Messiah Yah'shua kept and by example to us is now somehow 'unbiblical' to be kept but not only that but the witness and example by our LOVING Messiah was somehow participating in 'false doctrines' according to the self proclaimed forum teacher here, WALLLAHHH via tinyinfaithdavid!!! He just keeps digging himself a deeper hole, while continuing to serve his 'master' the devil in calling the HOLY and SANCTIFIED 7th Day Sabbath the devil HATES to now be 'unbiblical' tinydavid parrots!
Lets look at his latest WEASEL job, for he says QUOTE - 'UNBIBLICAL sabbath keeping is type of false sabbath keeping you’re doing'??? Did that make any sense readers? What is a 'UNBIBLICAL sabbath keeping' like in the minds of wanna be 'Christians' like tinyinfaithdavid? Is that like the LEGALISTIC pharisees that accused Messiah Yah'shua and company, that by the ADDED TRADITIONS to Torah Law by the LEGALISTIC pharisees, Messiah Yah'shua and company were supposedly harvesting when walking thru ripe grain fields and healing sick people on the 'UNBIBLICAL sabbath keeping' and that is what tinyinfaithdavid agrees with the LEGALISTIC pharisees??? Is that what he means readers??? He goes on to say QUOTE - 'because when Jesus fulfilled the law that’s also ended OT (biblical) sabbath keeping!' end quote.
So where is the verse that says he 'fulfilled' an ENTIRE DAY OF THE WEEK, the HOLY and SANCTIFIED 7th Day Sabbath and we NOW have ONLY six DAY WEEKS??? LOL! You cannot make this stuff up folks! The HOLY and SANCTIFIED 7th Day Sabbath was just a OT thingy according to immature lad and 'preschooler' tinyinstudydavid of the BIBLE supposedly, YET the Messiah Yah'shua and the Apostles, Paul included, teaching his Gentile converts in the book of Acts starting in chapter 15:21 and thru chapters 16:13; 17:2 and 18:1-4 like some 84 TIMES the early CHURCH kept the HOLY and SANCTIFIED 7th Day Sabbath! ALL IN THE NEW TESTAMENT TIMES mind you!!!
Does ANYONE see a HUGE salvation problem for this FALSE TEACHER and TORAH LAW BREAKER tinyinstudydavid claiming it all SUPPOSEDLY 'ENDED' and was SUPPOSEDLY 'FULFILLED'??? WOWSA! GEESH What was Paul thinking and he sure needed 'preschooler' tinydavid to correct his ERROR! LMBO!
Then he tries to associate me with EGW that kept SATURNday, that I DO NOT KEEP because I'm NOT a PAGAN PAPER calendar keeper for worship times that the Bible commands us to keep by His calendar ONLY!!!
Then don't speak about another denominations if you don't know their foundation.
Go learn so far from the Old Testament, to the New Testament, till today what is the sanctuary message. Can you preached this message to the world today?
