Misconceptions about 7th Day Adventists (SDA)

What's wrong with Seventh Day Adventists? I'm interdenominational and have met really amazing Seventh Day Adventists I have high regard for. They're just a different denomination, not cults.


I've read a couple of articles but still don't see anything wrong with SDAs. They still believe in faith and grace. A cult will add or subtract from the Word of God. They don't add or subtract. A cult would deny Jesus as both 100% man and 100% God. They don't deny that. So they're no more considered cults as some think. Just a different denomination. Their extreme teachings aren't extreme enough to fall into the "cult" category. They're not JW or Mormons.


Also, the writer of some of these online articles I've read against the SDAs are also questionable. But that's a different topic altogether.


They never said Ellen White's writings are equal to the Bible. They said the revelation and inspiration behind it-- meaning the Holy Spirit. Meaning they believe that the Holy Spirit gave her Revelation and inspiration.


I am not saying SDAs are right or Ellen is right but as long as they don't equate her teachings to the Bible, they're not adding to the Word of God. Therefore, they're not cults.


The biggest persecutor of the Church in the world right now are the Christians. The less we fight each other and the more we fight the devil, the better.

Couple Disagreements -- To Move or Stay Put?

It's not up to either of you nor is it our place to advice you. You both need to pray and seek the Lord for guidance on this. The Lord has led us as a family from one place to another. There is a time to move and there is a time to stay put. Ask the Lord for guidance. Also, submission to your husband and saving your marriage is more important than money. How to Pray: Both of you, go to a room, whether alone or together, close your eyes, ask God to give you guidance on whether to move or stay, and ask Him for a book, chapter and verse. Then wait for it with eyes closed. Wait for the book, chapter number and verse number. Read the whole chapter anyway, including the key verse.  It's hard the first few times but you'll get it over time, do it everyday as devotion. Get a notebook or Google Drive to write down what God is saying. Then match your verse and understanding with his. After a few days, you kind of know where this is going.

Baptism and sinless after

1. Jesus was baptized  2. Jesus’ disciples baptized 3. Jesus commissioned us to baptize 4. Ephesians 4:22 talks about putting off the old man.  This means leaving your past behind and you are not that person. Your dead body is buried and you are now alive because of Christ in you. So the devil cannot point his finger at you and condemn you for your past sins because that person is dead, and you are not that person. You are a new creation. If Christ is in you, Hebrews 6:4-6 says we cannot crucify again the son of God.  2 Peter 2: For if, after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the latter end is worse for them than the beginning. 21 For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered to them. 22 But it has happened to them according to the true proverb: “A dog re...

What is a calling?

My eldest came back into my room today after her nightime prayer. She was worried about her calling being totally different from what she has set her heart to be or do. Of course, I told her the usual -- "Don't worry about tomorrow for tomorrow will worry about itself." I was tired and sleepy, and so was she. I just really needed her to go to her bed at this point and not get worked up about the future. And yes, it was good advice, especially if it's got her this worked up. I, for one, did not worry about my future. For some reason, I just seem to be really ambitious all the time. From wanting to start my own kindergarten at nine, to wanting to be a millionaire missionary at ten, to wanting to build a campus when I was thirteen, it just kept getting bigger and better, and always more or less on the same line. It was like I saw it coming. And yes, it may seem like different things to the naked eye, but it really was the same thing. We talked about the differences betwe...
