There is nothing better than to read the first hand accounts of witness to events. Original sources help to eliminate the possibility of misquoting or misinterpretation and allows the reader to see and judge for themselves the events as close as possible to when they transpired. Many of us are aware how Seventh-Day Adventism loves […]
Two interesting quotes I have encountered from Seventh-Day Adventism. Quote’s citations are included.

With an estimated 118 million Christians who attend church on Sunday how should we look at a possible Seventh-Day Adventist President?

[…]
Isn’t it interesting when you realize that no other group of people denounces the Roman Catholics more strongly than does Seventh-Day Adventism? She pronounces them as deceivers, false teachers, perverters of history. As for all the claims of the Roman Catholics she repudiates them as worthless. Ahh but there is one claim that Seventh-Day Adventism […]
In talking with many Seventh-Day Adventists and looking back at my upbringing I have surmised most of us were full of the Great Controversy (SDA Gospel), The Three Angels Message, Ellen G White, the Sabbath and Law, and we even learned Daniel & Revelation Symbols. We did this ALL even before understanding WHAT IS THE […]

Sharon Clark, former faculty member of Loma Linda University, tells her story of leaving Adventism and embracing Jesus.
Adventists argue, as do some others, that even though Jesus never sinned, he could have sinned. They argue that if he could not have sinned, then his life would not be a good “example” for us. In this session, we will see that in fact it was certain that Jesus could not sin, and we […]
Revelation 14 is an important chapter for Adventists—the “three angels” chapter. Strikingly, it challenges some of Adventism’s most cherished beliefs.

He holds D.Min. and […]

These included Mormonism, Adventism, Christian Science, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and Oneness Pentecostalism. In this session, we will explain what these groups get right and what […]

Looking back at my time in Seventh-Day Adventism I still shake my head at how often we were taught that one-day Sunday-Keepers will kill Seventh-Day Adventists because we went to church on Saturday. In Seventh-Day Adventism, the term “Sunday-Keeper” or “Sunday Worshiper” is a common term used by the both the institution and members in lieu of “Christian” […]
Can you beat me? In Academy and Sabbath School, I was good at these things. However on this one I only got 80%. I was discussing with a friend on fB about Bible Questions and Trivia, so I thought it might be a great change-up to do a quiz. My friend gave me these 15 […]

In fact, one of the other standard works on the subject is a book first published in 1963 by Anthony Hoekema, titled The Four Major CultsCand Hoekema listed Seventh-Day Adventism as one of the four quintessential quasi-Christian cults.
