What do Seventh Day Adventists believe? Its hard for me to find a church because I live in an area with mostly pagan churches. And I also believe in studying the Torah but most of these churches just believe in the "New Testament." I've been keeping the Sabbath for a few months now but I just started trying to really dedicate that day to a day of rest for YHVH and not a day that I watch TV/eat pointlessly. I'm really interested in a lot of things but I don't know who to ask.
I'm a Seventh-Day Adventist! I have been one all my life, and I attend church every week. SDA's believe that Jesus came to earth in the form of a baby, to live a sinless life and to die on the cross to save us from our sins. He was a human being on earth, and after dying on the cross, on the third day of being buried, he was resurrected. So....many people believe that he rose on a Sunday (Easter Sunday), and the bible says this is the first day of the week....hence Saturday being the seventh day of the week. The catholic church also has taken responsibility for changing the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday, which proves that the change isn't biblical. Because of Jesus' perfect life as a human being (he was sinless) we now have an advocate in heaven that can stand up for us if we sin and we ask for forgiveness from our sin. We take on Jesus' righteousness, and is considered "clean". We also believe that Jesus will come back for his children that lived their life according to his promise.....hence the "advent" in our name. In the bible it says that there will be famines, and pestilences, wars and rumors of wars, etc.....and when these things happen, we are living in the last days. I don't think anyone denies that the world is getting more and more wicked.
We also believe in eating certain things, and dressing modestly, but this is another post altogether.
If you go to
www.praizevision.com, you will find many sermons from SDA pastors. Also, their is an APP with our lessons on it. Just search for "Sabbath School Quarterly". I hope this helps!
