  adventist believe: The Great Controversy Between Christ and Satan: From the Destruction of Jersualem to the End of the Controversy Ellen G. White, 2020-02-20 The Lord has shown me that Satan was once an honored angel in heaven, next to Jesus Christ. His countenance was mild, expressive of happiness like the other angels. His forehead was high and broad, and showed great intelligence. His form was perfect. He had noble, majestic bearing. And I saw that when God said to his Son, Let us make man in our image, Satan was jealous of Jesus. He wished to be consulted concerning the formation of man. He was filled with envy, jealousy and hatred. He wished to be the highest in heaven, next to God, and receive the highest honors. Until this time all heaven was in order, harmony and perfect subjection to the government of God.-Ellen G White

  adventist believe: The A to Z of the Seventh-Day Adventists Gary Land, 2009-07-29 Covering the Millerite movement of the 1830s and 1840s, sabbatarian Adventism prior to organization of the denomination, and the Seventh-day Adventist Church since its organization in 1861-63, this volume provides a comprehensive history of the denomination.
  adventist believe: A Search for Identity George R. Knight, 2000 Der Autor geht auf Fragen ein, die jeden Adventisten interessieren (sollten): Wie kamen die Adventisten zu den Glaubensüberzeugungen, die sie heute vertreten? Wie haben sich die Lehrauffassungen im Laufe der Jahre verändert? Würden die adventistischen Pioniere alle 27 Glaubenspunkte unterschreiben wollen, die heute von der Gemeinschaft der Siebenten-Tags-Adventisten als verbindlich anerkannt werden? George Knight bezweifelt das. Er legt in wohltuender Offenheit die unterschiedlichen Strömungen innerhalb der Adventgeschichte dar und verdeutlicht, dass Adventgläubige nicht aufhören dürfen, Suchende und Lernende zu sein. So aufwühlend dies klingen mag, so beruhigend wird der Leser feststellen können: An allen untersuchten Beispielen wird erkennbar, wie wunderbar Gott die Adventgemeinde geführt hat. - How did Adventists come to believe what they believe? How have those beliefs changed over the years? With compelling candor George Knight captures the ebb and flow of the doctrinal currents within Adventism, including controversies over the shut door, the law in Galatians at the 1888 General Conference, the Trinity, pantheism, Fundamentalism, the nature of Christ, and inspiration. The Adventist Church was founded by independent thinkers who would have disagreed with several of the church's current 27 fundamental beliefs. But over the years strength arose out of contention, and consensus out of debate. From William Miller to Desmond Ford, Knight catalogues the colorful personalities who shaped the discussion, and shows how God has led Adventism into a broader and deeper understanding of His eternal truth. - A Word to the Reader, A Note From the Author, List of Abbreviations, Chapter 1: The Dynamic Nature of Present Truth, Present Truth: Fluid Rather Than Static, The Avoidance of Creedal Rigidity, The Pathway of Progressive Understanding, Chapter 2: Adventism Wasn't Born in a Vacuum, The Theological Roots of Adventism, Millennial Visions, Chapter 3: The Millerite Theological Foundation, Miller's Use of the Bible, Miller on the Second Advent, The First and Second Angels' Messages, The Seventh-Month Movement and the Great Disappointment, Chapter 4: What Is Adventist in Adventism?

  adventist believe: Adventist Interchurch Relations Stefan Höschele, 2022-09-05 This study presents the first comprehensive analysis of Seventhday Adventist interchurch relations – a 20-million member body whose ecumenical stance has so far been underresearched. For the sake of interpreting denominational involvement and reservations in Adventism as well as beyond, the study develops a new academic approach to ecumenism based on Relational Models Theory, a comprehensive social science paradigm of interpreting human relationships. The resulting typology of ecumenical interactions and the historical case study of Adventism suggest that such a relational interpretation of ecumenical interaction sheds light on many of the unresolved issues in ecumenics – such as divergent concepts of unity, difficulties in recognition processes, and the permanence of denominationalism.
  adventist believe: Seventh-Day Adventist Unveiled Nicolette Bucknor, The purpose of this book is to share the truth and unveil the hidden deceit that is buried within the SDA Seventh-Day Adventist religion. I know Adventists are not the only religion to have strayed from the truth of the Bible, but I hold the strong stance that if a religion contradicts the teachings of the Bible, they are a false religion, promoting a false gospel. I do not say this to offend persons of other religions, but at the same time I think it’s important to be honest and straightforward when telling you what I believe. The Bible is clear that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. My goal is to share the truth, and my motive for making this book is one of love. The reason I am specifically focusing on Seventh-Day Adventists, is because I was a part of that religion so the matter is close to my heart. I have a number of Adventist friends and family, and whilst I know most of them would say their beliefs are based solely on the Bible, sadly that is not the case. The Adventist worldview has been shaped around the teachings and writings of Ellen G. White. Some Adventists, do not even know that her supposed visions are what helped to establish the religion. Her writings are still adhered to today, as she claimed to have seen past, present, and future events. Ellen G. White considered herself to be more than a prophet, and insisted that the words she wrote were not merely her own opinions, but the words of God. She concealed her contradictions of the Bible, under the guise of receiving new light that the Bible prophets did not have. The claim of being a prophet cannot be taken lightly, and in order for us not to be deceived, we must be prepared to test the words of any self-proclaimed prophet. 1 John 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. There is no other book in the world, like the Bible, as it contains the words of the living God. The Bible has proven itself to be a reliable source of truth. Through the Bible, God has told us everything we need to know. Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. My hope is that Adventists out there will be prepared to read this book, with an open mind so that they can genuinely consider the points raised. If you are not an Adventist, but want to know more about their religion, I hope this book can be useful to you too.

  adventist believe: Seventh-Day Adventists, Ellen G. White, and Salvation R. Van Orden, 2018-06-11 This book started out as an intense personal study by the author to evaluate and confirm his beliefs about God and salvation in regard to the teaching of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church. Why is it that so many Seventh-Day Adventists do not have the assurance of salvation? What criteria in the Bible and what specifically in Ellen G. White's writings might lead someone to believe they were not fit for heaven, that they did not qualify to be there, that God would not forgive them, and there was more required than just relying on Jesus's sacrifice to cover their sins? If they did not meet a strict set of rules, would God cast them aside in the end? In this book, you will find out just who are the saved, who are the lost, and what happens to them in the end and what end-times will look like according to Ellen G. White and the SDA Church. The author estimates he has spent well in excess of ten thousand hours and has read over fifteen thousand pages of material over a seven-year period in the preparation of this book. It is the author's hope and prayer that this book will make the reader question, not their belief in the saving grace of God and the loving sacrifice of Jesus but rather question anything that might have come between them and that grace.
  adventist believe: Seventh-day Adventist Christian: Do You Know Who You Are? , 2016-02-17 Do you know who you are? “Of course I know who I am! I am Professor John Smith of Someplace, USA, born to Bob and Patty Smith.” But I’m not talking about your name, your profession, where you live, or who your parents are. Let me reword the question. Do you know who you are in terms of your religious beliefs and relationship with God? “Of course I know who I am! I am a Seventh-day Adventist.” OK, but what does that mean? Dr. Max Hammonds proposes that it goes beyond simply saying that we obey ALL of the Ten Commandments and that Jesus is coming back to take His followers home to heaven. Presented in this book is a carefully reasoned and biblically sound exploration of familiar topics that we always thought we understood. With warm personal stories told in the style of a private conversation at a quiet retreat, Dr. Hammonds works through the basic fundamentals of what it means to be a Christian and a Seventh-day Adventist in the real world, living for God during the Time of the End. This is not just another book about Adventist doctrines. This book gets at the heart of Christianity while focusing on the special calling we have as Adventists.

  adventist believe: New Religions Eugene V. Gallagher, Lydia Willsky-Ciollo, 2021-02-15 A valuable resource for students and general audiences, this book provides a unique global perspective on the history, beliefs, and practices of emergent faith communities; new religious traditions; and religious movements worldwide, from the 19th century to the present. New Religions: Emerging Faiths and Religious Cultures in the Modern World provides insightful global perspectives on the emergent faith communities and new traditions and movements of the last two centuries. Readers will gain access to the information necessary to explore the significance, complexities, and challenges that modern religious traditions have faced throughout their history and that continue to impact society today. The work identifies the themes and issues that have often brought new religions into conflict with the larger societies of which they are a part. Coverage includes new religious groups that emerged in America, such as the Seventh-day Adventists, the Latter-day Saints, and the Jehovah's Witnesses; alternative communities around the globe that emerged from the major Western and Eastern traditions, such as Aum Shinrikyo and Al-Qaeda; and marginalized groups that came to a sudden end, such as the Peoples Temple, Heaven's Gate, and the Branch Davidians. The entries highlight thematic and broader issues that run across the individual religious traditions, and will also help students analyze and assess the common difficulties faced by emergent religious communities.
  adventist believe: Exposing Seventh-Day Adventism Russell Earl Kelly Ph. D., 2005-07-22 Seventh-day Adventism entices members into it using trickery and half-truths. They tell the unenlightened public one thing and insiders yet another. Dr. Kelly explains how he was tricked into joining. He then refutes the theological fiasco called the Investigative Judgment which created the sect. Much of the book looks at the Sabbath with fresh insight. The final part reveals the mysterious realms of Sheol and Hades in order to expose SDA error about the soul. Russell Kelly is also the author of Should the Church Teach Tithing? A Theologian's Conclusions about a Taboo Doctrine-a best seller on Amazon.com under Tithing since 2001.

  adventist believe: When God Gets Personal joel zemba, 2018-12-04 Is the concept of the Trinity really a mystery? What if we could grasp even a hint of who God is? What if God has revealed Himself to us in a way that not only we could understand but also holds the secrets to having a successful personal relationship with Him? The pages of When God gets Personal not only hold the answers that we seek but also brings to you a practical Christianity. well-crafted in simple terms, the book brings to light the so long wondered upon subject of the Trinity and explains its part in our Christian journey. Come with me and let us meet a meaningful and practical God.
  adventist believe: Adventism Re-examined: 75 Years of Changes, Challenges and Choices Gordon Kainer, 2019-11-13 My book's objective is to describe the beliefs, practices, and ventures of the Adventist church that have had or still have a significant impact on my life. Looking back, I now have a better understanding why ancient Israel was repeatedly told to remember what God had done for them. For this reason, there will be much reminiscing, retelling of personal experiences, and evaluating church teachings and decisions, all in the endeavor to make sense of what has happened. That can only take place if we bathe our words and expressions in grace, love and understanding. The book endeavors to answer the underlying question: what do we mean when we use the term church? What are the primary reasons for its existence? When you ask Adventists such a question, we hope they answer with a reply that is inspiring and practical. In presenting my view of Adventism over the past seventy-five years, it's had a positive effect on my knowing and understanding Jesus-and I hope the same goes for you!
  adventist believe: Jehovah's Witnesses George D. Chryssides, 2016-12-05 From its origins in nineteenth century Adventism until the present day, the Watch Tower Society has become one of the best known but least understood new religious movements. Resisting the tendency to define the movement in terms of the negative, this volume offers an empathetic account of the Jehovah's Witnesses, without defending or seeking to refute their beliefs. George Chryssides critically examines the historical and theological bases of the organization's teachings and practices, and discusses the changes and continuities which have defined it. The book provides a valuable resource for scholars of new religious movements and contemporary religion.
  adventist believe: Lunjika SDA Mission in Northern Malawi 1932 - 1995 Banda, Macleard, 2018-05-22 The missionary work of the Seventh-day Adventist Church started in Southern Malawi in 1902, and histories of churches are usually told from that starting point. This book uses a different approach, it tells the story of Lunjika Mission (earlier called Mombera Mission) which begins in 1932, showing how the SDA Church met a new culture, that of the strongly patrilineal Ngoni and their neighbours to the North, and how it dealt with other churches that had started missionary work in that broad area up to two generations before.
  adventist believe: Race for Justice Richard Reddie, 2022-02-18 In 2020 Britain marks the 25th anniversary of Racial Justice Sunday. This movement was established at a time when the UK was having to face up to both overt and subversive forms of racism, characterised by the tragic killing of black teenager, Stephen Lawrence, in Eltham in 1993. This murder, and other racist attacks, gave mainstream visibility to the struggle of many Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic people to obtain equality and justice. Race for Justice brings together a collection of voices on this vital issue from across the Christian denominations. Each contributor to this volume serves as their particular denomination’s racial justice, equalities, diversity or inclusion officers. Equipped with frontline experience in the fight against racism, they each give their perspective on the successes and failures of race relations over the last quarter of a century, as well as addressing contemporary challenges and their hopes for the future.

Introducing young children is vital in our multi-cultural and multi-faith society, and this title will provide all early years practitioners with ideas on how to teach children to value diversity and respect other children's views and backgrounds.
  adventist believe: The Purity Myth Jessica Valenti, 2010-02 The United States is obsessed with virginity - from the media to schools to government agencies. This panic is ensuring that young women's ability to be moral agents is absolutely dependent on their sexuality. Jessica Valenti, executive editor of Feministing.com and author of Full Frontal Feminism and Yes Means Yes, addresses this poignant issue in her latest book, The Purity Myth. Valenti argues that the country's intense focus on chastity is extremely damaging to young women. Through in depth analysis of cultural stereotypes and media messages, Valenti reveals that powerful messages - ranging from abstinence curriculum to ''Girls Gone Wild'' commercials - place a young woman's worth entirely on her sexuality. Morals are therefore linked purely to sexual behavior, as opposed to values like honesty, kindness, and altruism. Valenti approaches the topic head-on, shedding light on chastity in a historical context, abstinence-only education, pornography, and public punishments for those who dare to have sex, among other critical issues. She also offers solutions that pave the way for a future without a damaging emphasis on virginity, including a call to rethink male sexuality and reframing the idea of ''losing it.'' With Valenti's usual balance of intelligence and wit, The Purity Myth presents a powerful and revolutionary argument that girls and women, even in this day and age, are overly valued for their sexuality, and that this needs to stop.

  adventist believe: The Present Truth and the LGBTQ+ Movement Nelson Mercado, 2024-10-15 The Present Truth refers to God's end-time messages intended to prepare the world to meet Jesus. These messages are found in Revelation 14:6-12 and are also known as the Three Angels' Messages. However, as part of his deceptions, Satan is seeking to distract and confuse the church by the LGBTQ+ ideology. Today, there are many voices in Christianity and in the Seventh-day Adventist Church clamoring for the affirmation of the LGBTQ+ ideology and lifestyle. Pastor Mercado believes that following the road of affirmation will lead to a loss of credibility and will dilute the end-time messages of preparation. Yet acknowledging that LGBTQ+ people are already in our churches, he provides guidelines on how to treat them redemptively while not compromising biblical values.
  adventist believe: Seventh-Day Adventism in Crisis Laura Lee Vance, 1999 How can a movement founded on the prophecies and visions of one woman, and reliant in its early stages on the pastoral leadership, teaching, and proselytizing of many others, come to define women's roles in ways that exclude them from active public participation and leadership in the church?
  adventist believe: Commandment Eleven George DiGuido, 2004-05-24 The last several decades have seen an ever-increasing interest in matters Spiritual, in Angels, the Papacy, and Religions. This is reflected in our pop culture: TV, MTV, music, books, movies. And the Press. An evangelical movement promises reconciliation between Catholics and Protestants. All of the above could be should be - a plus. The author, however, posits that the jury is still out, and that there could be a minus. He suggests the possibility of a coming clash between Faiths, of violence in the name of God. This is nothing new; witness the Crusades, Inquisitions, European religious wars, the persecutions that brought the first settlers to America, and now todays religiously inspired acts of international terrorism. The author - a Bible student and devoted follower of Christ - has been paying rapt attention to developing religious events and has written eight studies on theological themes originally prepared as notes for the teaching of an Adult Education class. They touch on Scriptural prophecies, controversial Bible texts, and events transpiring in the world of Religion. As such they are relevant to this day and to the spiritual direction in which we seem to be heading; as a Faith, a nation, and a world.
  adventist believe: The Mirror of Christianity, Cults, and the Catholic Church Richard Bennett, 2021-05-13 Are we on the brink of a theological war between Conservative Protestant Christianity and the new Charismatic Protestant Christian movement known as the New Apostolic Reformation, (NAR)? Are they as demonic as some well known pastors say? A very debated question. This is a book that must be read by every ex-Catholic that perhaps has second thoughts. Reading this book is assurance the decision was right. And let us not forget those Prosperity preachers who constantly ask for money. This book exposes them even to their very core beliefs which are shocking and unbelievable.
  adventist believe: God's Magnificent Eight Dr. Ernan Norman, 2021-01-27 “AND SAMPSON SAID TO THE YOUNG MAN WHO HELD HIM BY THE HAND, ‘LET ME FEEL THE PILLARS ON WHICH THE HOUSE RESTS, THAT I MAY LEAN AGAINST THEM’” (Judges 16:26, ESV) Mark Finely has rightly said that there are “seven basic teachings” on which God has built His church. “Wisdom has built her house, she has hewn out her seven pillars.” These seven pillars are essential, and “the non-negotiables:” Scripture (John 17:17) Salvation (John 3:16) Second Coming (John 14:1-3) Sabbath (John 14:15) State of the Dead (John 11:11-26) Sanctuary (John 17:4, 11, 24) Holy Spirit and Spirit of Prophecy (John 14:15-17) (Prov. 9:1; Mark Finely, Solid Ground, p. 374) “The house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth” is built on these seven pillars, 1 Tim. 3:15. Because of this, Dr. Norman identifies the church as an eight pillar. This eight pillar rests on the other seven “non-negotiables.” These “non-negotiables” are in turn rooted and grounded in Christ, and they define who we are as a biblical community of faith. Tragically though, great uncertainty concerning the pillars abound. The “non-negotiables” are under assault. And this assault will intensify as a mighty sifting sieve. “Those who seek to remove the old landmarks . . . bring in theories that would remove the pillars of our faith concerning the sanctuary . . . [they are] working as blind men . . . [they are] seeking to bring in uncertainties and to set the people of God adrift without an anchor,” (E. G. White, Manuscript Release No. 760. P. 9, 1905). If there ever was a time, we needed the resolve of Sampson, it is now! The author hopes that this book will inspire this resolve—a resolve that will lead us back to the pillars; back to the “non-negotiables.” Like Sampson, may we feel the pillars once again, and lean on “the non-negotiables” centered in Christ.
  adventist believe: Christian Remnant - African Folk Church Stefan Höschele, 2007-11-30 The growth of Christianity in Africa during the twentieth century is one of the most fascinating shifts in the history of religions. This book presents a history of the Tanzanian Seventh-day Adventist Church, which is representative of this shift in many respects: slow beginnings, struggles over cultural issues, the emergence of a unique church life combining denominational heritage and African elements, frictions with governments, and the development of popular theology. Yet Tanzanian Adventism also exemplifies an important phenomenon which has been given little attention so far - the transformation of minority denominations to dominant religions. This study breaks new ground in analyzing how the Adventist “remnant” developed into an African “folk church” while attempting to remain true to its original ethos.

  adventist believe: Literacy and Religion Cushla Kapitzke, 1995-01-01 This book explores the interrelation of literacy and religion as practiced by Western Christians in, first, historical contexts and, second, in one contemporary church setting. Using both a case study and a Foucauldian theoretical framework, the book provides a sustained analysis of the reciprocal discursive construction of literacy, religiosity and identity in one Seventh-day Adventist Church community of Northern Australia. Critical linguistic and discourse analytic theory is used to disclose processes of theological (church), familial (home) and educational (school) normalisation of community members into regulated ways of hearing and speaking, reading and writing, being and believing. Detailed analyses of spoken and written texts taken from institutional and local community settings show how textual religion is an exemplary technology of the self, a politics constituted by canonical texts, interpretive norms, textual practices, ritualised events and sociopolitical protocols that, ultimately, are turned in upon the self. The purpose of these analyses is to show how, across denominational difference in belief (tradition) and practice, particular versions of self and society are constructed through economies of truth from text that constrain what can and cannot be articulated and enacted by believers.
  adventist believe: Gay Religion Scott Thumma, Edward R. Gray, 2004-12-10 While homosexuals continue gaining acceptance in other arenas of American culture, only a tiny minority of religious groups accept gays and lesbians as full members and potential clergy. Serious conflicts over homosexuality threaten to break apart several large U.S. denominations. Yet these heated theological debates can often obscure what religious gays and lesbians are actually doing. Gay Religion is the first book to objectively present the spiritual lives, practices and expressions of gays, lesbians, bisexuals and the transgendered. Drawing from a wide range of religious traditions, new and established scholars explore the range of gay religious expression in denominations, sects, and in areas outside recognized religious institutions. And these scholars ask what these religious innovations mean to the continually evolving religious environment of North America. With its helpful section introductions and an appendix providing profiles of organizations involved, Gay Religion is a useful and a compelling resource for anyone interested in homosexuality and American religion.
  adventist believe: Laodicea, Her Authority, Organization, and Destiny Vernon C. Sparks, 2013-01-26 —Protestant Reformation's Final Movement / God's End Time Church— In Revelation 3:14-21, God’s end time church is named Laodicea. In those verses, His remnant people are described as having the tendency to evaluate their spiritual condition, and work, at a much higher quality than is Christ’s judgment of it. He states that the Laodicean church, though entrusted with the knowledge of His last warning messages for the world are spiritually “wretched,” “miserable,” “poor,” “blind,” and “naked.” (verse 17). Matthew 25:1-13 is the parable of the ten virgins waiting to attend a wedding feast. In this account Jesus is also describing His remnant people. Christ’s story says that “while the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.” (verse 5). This present volume is a Bible and Spirit of Prophecy study regarding the form of, and reasons why, Christ brought His end time people into a highly organized movement. It also describes how Christ’s ordained methods of operating His organization tend to be abused, and even ignored. It explains how His people tend to operate Christ’s publishing, educational, health, and even ministerial work more in harmony with the wisdom and wishes of man and the world than with the clear directives of the Lord whom we claim to be serving. But, all is not gloom and doom. There is counsel as to how to revive from the Laodicean condition. This present volume goes into detail as to what Christ will do to awaken His people. It presents the inspired explanations as to how His remnant will be “shaken” into the condition necessary for Him to be able to pour out upon them the Latter Rain to empower and equip them to give the Loud Cry and thus finish His work upon this earth. Entire chapters are dedicated to the divine instructions regarding the importance of not running ahead of, but cooperating with, Christ in these important dealings with His people.

  adventist believe: Seventh-Day Adventism in Africa Gabriel Masfa, 2023-06-16 This book examines the complex history of Adventism in Africa, situating it within the context of African traditions and culture. From a small movement with origins in the United States, the Seventh-day Adventist Church has grown worldwide. It is one of several Christian denominations present in Africa and yet the history of Seventh-day Adventism in the global South has been largely unexplored by scholars. The book highlights the discrepancies between western traditions exhibited in the missionary enterprise and African religious systems. It also explores the intricate relation between colonialism and African Adventism in line with established studies in African Christianity. It will be of interest to scholars of religion and theology, particularly church history and mission studies, as well as African studies.
