11 Now I know that the LORD is greater than all other gods, for he did this to those who had treated Israel arrogantly." 3 "You shall have no other gods before [a] me. 13 "Be careful to do everything I have said to you. Do not invoke the names of other gods; do not let them be heard on your lips. 14 Do not worship any other god, for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God. 35 You were shown these things so that you might know that the LORD is God; besides him there is no other. 39 Acknowledge and take to heart this day that the LORD is God in heaven above and on the earth below. There is no other. 7 "You shall have no other gods before [a] me.
Actually, they don't. Seventh-day Adventists teach that only a few people have gone to heaven to this point in earth's history: Enoch and Elijah without dying, and Moses and Jesus after being resurrected. The rest of those who have died have ceased to exist until they are resurrected, as if they were asleep (the term for this concept is "soul sleep"). After Christ's coming, when the dead in Christ will be resurrected, all the saved will go to heaven for 1000 years. At the end of the 1000 years, God, the saved, and the New Jerusalem will come to earth. Then the lost will be resurrected and will be fooled by Satan into trying to take the city, but Satan, his angels, and all the lost will be destroyed at that time, and God will make the earth the new center of his government. That's when God's kingdom will be on earth, and that is when God will truly dwell with men.
Why do Adventists teach that? Because it is in the Bible, in the book of Revelation.
Having prayer sessions with other employees can be perfectly acceptable is this does not impact on work performance, provided that no one feels pressured to participate. Pressure can be implicit, such as the fear of social rejection or the belief that promotion could depend on participation, but if all employees are Adventists, this is not an unsurmountable hurdle.
Can a Seventh-day Adventist have a reception on the Sabbath?
I have asked myself this question also, and have come to the conclusion through study and family guidance that, as a Seventh-day Adventist, a reception would not be advisable on the Sabbath, because the things that people do during receptions such as dancing and celebrating the couple and worldly traditions are not really Sabbath activities, and because the focus is not on God.
What is the three angels message of the Seventh-day Adventist Church?

When I see that people attack others it is usually FEAR. Fear is the response to misunderstanding. When you don't know enough about motive or basis for belief attacks occur in nature and humans. Even though I am not Adventist I take the same stand that Joseph at the Sanhedrin did. If it is true and wise time will prove it right or wrong. Bless you in your own faith journey.

What is the Seventh-Day Adventist view of stewardship?
I'm a Seventh-day Adventists and we believe that we are God's stewards entrusted by Him with time and opportunities, abilities and possessions, and the blessings of the earth and its resources. We acknowledge God's ownership by faithful service to Him and our fellow men, and by returning tithes and offerings for the proclamation of His gospel and the support and growth of His church. Stewardship is a priviledge given to us by God for nurture in love and the victory over selfishness and covetousness.

Organic, stone ground, whole wheat flour, purified spring water and extra virgin olive oil. It is blended into dough, allowed to rest, and then rolled flat.

Why do Black Adventists and White Adventists generally worship seperately?
That is a myth. There is no segregation in the Seventh Day Adventist church nor should there be ANY segregation in any church or anywhere outside of church for that matter as we are ALL children of Adam and Eve. God loves ALL of us whether or not they have accepted the gift his son Jesus gave on the cross - the gift of eternal life and a washing away of one's sins.
While the above answer is true for the most part, there are eight regional black Seventh-day Adventist conferences. However white members attend the "black" churches and black members attend the "white" churches. The same holds true for other cultural Seventh-day Adventist churches.

Do 7th day Adventists believe in John 3 16 King James Version?
Yes!
God the eternal Son became incarnate in Jesus Christ. Through Him all things were created, the character of God is revealed, the salvation of humanity is accomplished, and the world is judged. Forever truly God, He became also truly man, Jesus the Christ. He was conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He lived and experienced temptation as a human being, but perfectly exemplified the righteousness and love of God. By His miracles He manifested God's power and was attested as God's promised Messiah. He suffered and died voluntarily on the cross for our sins and in our place, was raised from the dead, and ascended to minister in the heavenly sanctuary in our behalf. He will come again in glory for the final deliverance of His people and the restoration of all things. (John 1:1-3, 14; Col. 1:15-19; John 10:30; 14:9; Rom. 6:23; 2 Cor. 5:17-19; John 5:22; Luke 1:35; Phil. 2:5-11; Heb. 2:9-18; 1 Cor. 15:3, 4; Heb. 8:1, 2; John 14:1-3.)

Why don't Seventh-day Adventists eat meat?
Not all Seventh-day Adventists are vegetarians but a major belief is that vegetarianism promotes health and well-being. Therefore many Seventh-day Adventists are vegetarians. Many scientific studies prove that eating meat can increase the rate of cancer by 40-50%. Also many studies have proven that people with chronic illnesses have been cured by eating a vegetarian/vegan diet. Seventh-day Adventists have been ranked by National Geographic as one of the top groups of people with longevity. This longevity has a lot to do with their diet and lifestyle.
Answer:
The answer is truly one-sided and until you are aware of both the sides it's harder for one to decide.
I'll provide the other side:
Meat
- It serves as a fabulous source of high-quality proteins, which a single vegetarian food is not able to provide. It contains all the essential amino acids that the body requires.
- The phosphorus content present in meat gets much more easily absorbed than that present in cereals and legumes.
- Eating meat helps human brains develop well. Many researchers found out that if our primitives had not eaten lean red meat over the evolutionary process of human beings, the human brain size would have been one quarter of our current brain size. Red meat supplies us with an efficient amount of protein and fat which helps our brains develop. Thus, we have intelligent brains as now.
- Animal protein contains vitamin B12 which can only be found in meat, especially in beef, and has many significant advantages. Firstly, it is essential for the production of red blood cells in our bodies. Secondly, it also prevents us from catching some serious diseases related to our nervous system such as brain shrinkage and dementia.
In the Holy Books of different major religions not even a single place it is mentioned that eating meat is prohibited (apart from rare cases like eating of pork is prohibited).
People say what you eat is what you become...It is not a fact just a theory.
If you talk about the pain of the animals...I would suggest you should stop breathing because you are killing a lot of germs and microscopic species (quite useful ones) and stop eating the plants because they posses life too (just because you can't hear them doesn't mean they don't feel pain).
Furthermore,who says to gulp it down till your throat...go easy on the food even if it's veggies. This will let you live longer.
Last but not the least...it's a personal choice if want meat in your diet or not...nobody's forcing.
DO YOU KNOW:
The Ping an is the Village of One Hundred Year Old People (the century village) in China. A person in this village lives for at least 100 years...they too eat MEAT. Do you think meat eating or not eating has got something to do with long life...it just depends how much you consume.
