I am a Christian and go to a Baptist church although really I don’t subscribe to any one denomination. I recently met a man who is a Seventh Day Advenist and I don’t know much about them and how they differ from other denominations. I know they recognize Saturday as the Sabbath. Is that the primary difference?
There will be problems only if the people allow problems to come between them. It doesn’t matter what religions, or denominations.
You must determine if your love is stronger than religion, or not.
yes they dont eat /cook/do anything after 6pm on friday and all throughout saturday. i think you should pray first i dont think this is the right time …based on ur previous question which i poured my heart into.
but goodluck
I thought they were the ones who kept the laws from Leviticus. They don’t eat pork or shellfish, if I am correct.
The Seventh Day Adventist Church was formed by Ellen White, their prophet. The main difference is yes, they meet on Saturday instead of Sunday. I believe they have every right Biblically to do that, but it becomes a problem when they claim, as White claimed, that meeting on Sunday is the Mark of the Beast =.=.
Rom 14:5 One person decides that one day is holier than another. Another person decides that all days are the same. Every person must make his own decision.
I have some qualms with their doctrines, but, as I said, they have a right to meet on Saturday. Except for a few things, they are generally Orthodox in their doctrine.
Seventh day adventists fall in what is called the pale of orthodoxy,That said , there is no problem unless he demands you keep the sabbath and also that you have sinned by not keeping it. As regular garden variety christians ,we know that Jesus Christ is the fulfilment of the shadow of things to come and infact HE is the sabbath !And we rest in HIM !!!
Compare their beliefs to what you believe and decide for yourself.
Our sins will ultimately be placed on Satan – The Great Controversy, p. 422, 485.
Jesus is Michael the Archangel.
Worship must be done on Saturday (the Sabbath).

The dead do not exist anymore — soul sleep.
The wicked are annihilated.
Ellen G. White, the “founder” of Seventh Day Adventism, was a messenger from God gifted with the spirit of prophecy.
There is a sanctuary in heaven where Jesus carries out his mediatorial work.

“23. Marriage and the Family:
Marriage was divinely established in Eden and affirmed by Jesus to be a lifelong union between a man and a woman in loving companionship. For the Christian a marriage commitment is to God as well as to the spouse, and should be entered into only between partners who share a common faith. Mutual love, honor, respect, and responsibility are the fabric of this relationship, which is to reflect the love, sanctity, closeness, and permanence of the relationship between Christ and His church. Regarding divorce, Jesus taught that the person who divorces a spouse, except for fornication, and marries another, commits adultery. Although some family relationships may fall short of the ideal, marriage partners who fully commit themselves to each other in Christ may achieve loving unity through the guidance of the Spirit and the nurture of the church. God blesses the family and intends that its members shall assist each other toward complete maturity. Parents are to bring up their children to love and obey the Lord. By their example and their words they are to teach them that Christ is a loving disciplinarian, ever tender and caring, who wants them to become members of His body, the family of God. Increasing family closeness is one of the earmarks of the final gospel message. (Gen. 2:18-25; Matt. 19:3-9; John 2:1-11; 2 Cor. 6:14; Eph. 5:21-33; Matt. 5:31, 32; Mark 10:11, 12; Luke 16:18; 1 Cor. 7:10, 11; Ex. 20:12; Eph. 6:1-4; Deut. 6:5-9; Prov. 22:6; Mal. 4:5, 6.)”
Blessings.
