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…

We continue with our comparisons of the Seventh Day Adventist beliefs and the Bible Students. In our last post we were considering a few points which our Catholic friends had to say in regards to incarnation (a pivotal doctrine of theirs), as well as our Lord’s nature while on earth and etc. It was stated: 4) Jesus had two natures (human and divine) but he was only one “person.” He is a divine person (not a human person). He is…

We continue with our comparisons of the Seventh Day Adventist beliefs and the Bible Students. Seventh Day Adventist say: The church derives its authority from Christ, who is the incarnate Word revealed in the Scriptures. Is Jesus “Divine”? Most certainly, that is to say ever since his resurrection when he was highly exalted to the divine plane of existence by the Father, viz. Since his death and resurrection and subsequent glorification he (Jesus) is “the blessed and only Potentate, the…

With regards to THE CHURCH Seventh Day Adventist say: “The church is the community of believers who confess Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. In continuity with the people of God in Old Testament times, we are called out from the world; and we join together for worship, for fellowship, for instruction in the Word, for the celebration of the Lord’s Supper, for service to humanity, and for the worldwide proclamation of the gospel. The church derives its authority from…

We continue with our examination of the differences between Seventh Day Adventist and Bible Students in regards to, Creation: and the Seventh Day Adventist belief that “…the Bible speaks of other worlds populated by intelligent beings…” Let us here use our God given ability to reason, and consider this for a moment. Since based on what we know from the scriptures and from God’s dealings with respects to man it is God’s intention that all his intelligent creation (whether on…

Creation: Seventh Day Adventist state: “God has revealed in Scripture the authentic and historical account of His creative activity. He created the universe, and in a recent six-day creation the Lord made “the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them” and rested on the seventh day. Thus, He established the Sabbath as a perpetual memorial of the work He performed and completed during six literal days that together with the Sabbath constituted the same unit…

The Begotten Son, Part 4 In our previous post we examine our first two questions concerning when our Lord first became the begotten Son of God and how and in what manner he was the express image of the Father’s person while as a human on earth, and now as the highly exalted Lord. Returning to his image whilst as the Son of God in the flesh we should like to know, 3) How it was then that our Lord…

The Begotten Son, Part 3 In our previous post we were responding our friends third quote specifically with regards to our Lord’s creation, which of course our Seventh Day Adventist friends along with most of orthodoxy deny. I believe in our previous post we established the fact that begetting offspring is the same as creating offspring. We as humans do this every time we procreate or beget children. We should now like to consider three questions as they relate to…
