The Seventh-day Adventist Church is a direct descendant of the Millerite movement of the early- to mid-1800s. This movement was named after farmer-turned-preacher William Miller who felt the need to share his beliefs about the soon return of Jesus. The Seventh-day Adventist Church still holds the soon return of Jesus as one of its main tenets. Some of the pioneers of the church were James and Ellen White, Joseph Bates, and Uriah Smith.
Another answer:
there were people who broke away from the Roman Catholic Church because they discovered that the Roman Catholic Church was teaching lies (they wouldn't even let the people read The Bible for themselves). So those who broke away from the church began to read The Bible for themselves and followed every teaching of the Bible. Thus came the SDA Church (there are many other events that led up to the making of the church but this puts it into perspective I think.)
The Seventh-day Adventist Church was formed to provide an organizational structure for a particular group of believers that came out of the Millerite movement. It was decided, against some opposition, that the group needed an organization for many reasons. One reason was to allow for the efficient movement of money (collection of tithes and offerings; payment of ministers by the organization instead of them being self-supporting, allowing themselves to work in ministry full-time; etc.). These matters were fraught with issues and inefficiencies before a formal organization was formed.
Other answersWhy did any Christian denomination start? Because one believes that their teachings differ from others, so they starts their own group, which has lead to a mass split in the Christian world today.
The Seventh-day Adventists was an advent movement different from all other denominations. They hold true that one must live by all 10 commandments as the Bible teaches, whereas most other denominations follow 9 commandments, leaving out the 4th commandment, which is to "Remember" the Sabbath and keep it holy. (Amazing how it is the only one that God tells us to remember, yet so many have forgotten).
If one does their due diligence, you can find articles published by the Roman Catholics, that claim they are responsible for changing the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday. You will also find at least one article where a Roman Catholic says that the Seventh-day Adventists are following the true Word of God. The Catholics openly admit and believe that the Pope has more authority than God himself. Tell me that doesn't sound like a cult.
Seventh-day Adventists believe that if it isn't based on scripture, it has no authority. You can take any scripture by itself and turn it into anything you want. Anyone can put their own spin on it. One must search the whole Bible on any subject to see what it says on any topic, not just one text.
A text, taken out of context, is a pretext, for proof text.
