Once again, we continue with the subject Death and Resurrection We were discussing what it is that is to be resurrected the body or the soul? The Scriptures themselves deny that the body will be resurrection as pointed out by the Apostle Paul in 1 Cor 15:35-38. “But someone will say, “How are the dead raised up? And with what body do they come?” Foolish one, what you sow is not made alive unless it dies. And what you sow,…
Our subject under consideration is, Death and Resurrection Seventh Day Adventist say: “When Jesus returns at the end of time, all who have died believing in Christ will have a bodily resurrection and go to Heaven with Him. This is the first resurrection. This is the Good News! Believers have the hope of eternal life because they place their trust in the Lord Jesus. “For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice…
Our next subject under consideration is, Death and Resurrection Seventh Day Adventist state: “The wages of sin is death. But God, who alone is immortal, will grant eternal life to His redeemed. Until that day death is an unconscious state for all people. When Christ, who is our life, appears, the resurrected righteous and the living righteous will be glorified and caught up to meet their Lord. The second resurrection, the resurrection of the unrighteous, will take place a thousand…
We continue with the beliefs of the Seventh Day Adventist in regards to, The Second Advent They state: No one knows “the Day or the Hour” of the Second Coming Though Jesus was clear that He would return, He also explained that the details for when it would happen are not ours to know. But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only (Matthew 24:36 ESV). Not…
We continue with the beliefs of the Seventh Day Adventist in regards to, The Second Advent They state: “Through the Bible we can see the Second Coming is not only a literal event, but a global event. Just as referenced in the section above, “every eye will see Him”—no matter the time zone, continent, etc. It’s hard to imagine something like this, but with God nothing is impossible. We’re told, “For as the lightning flashes and lights up the sky…
We continue with the beliefs of the Seventh Day Adventist in regards to, The Second Advent We have decided to address the following statement which was quoted in the previous post by our Seventh Day Adventist friends here as it tends to go along with their next thought that the return of our Lord, will be a visible and worldwide event. (This is something most of the rest of professing church believes likewise). They state in, Acts 1:11, when an…
We continue with the beliefs of the Seventh Day Adventist in regards to, The Second Advent Seventh Day Adventist state: 1. Jesus will descend on a cloud. 2. The righteous dead will rise from their graves and up to the cloud with Jesus. 3. The righteous living will rise up to the clouds with Jesus and “always be with the Lord” (1 Thessalonians 4:13-17 ESV). Adventists believe this in its straightforward terms. Jesus will return on a cloud, staying in…
We continue once again with our comparisons of the Seventh Day Adventist beliefs and that of the Bible Students. This subject was introduced in response to a comment made by one of our forum members who suggested that there are a lot of “astonishing commonalities” between the teaching of the two groups in regards to Revelation. As of yet we have not discussed that specific subject as we felt we should first compare some of basic beliefs and teachings of…
We continue with our comparisons of the Seventh Day Adventist beliefs and the Bible Students in respects to the Church. Seventh Day Adventist say: The church is God’s family; adopted by Him as children, its members live on the basis of the new covenant. We will not go into detail here on this issue as this is thoroughly discussed under our blog posts entitled, “The Mediator and the New Covenant” and “The Church under the Abrahamic Covenant, not the New…
