Week 1.

Discussion 1

Many of the founding Seventh-day Adventists were sitting in the pews of other protestant

churches in the early-to-mid 1800s before they became Seventh-day Adventists. These

individuals had professions such as farmers, lawyers, and teachers. Thus, quite a few of the

major leaders in the early days of Adventism were already engaging in pastoral work.

Biblical doctrines such as the seventh-day Sabbath and the Second Coming of Christ

have come back into the spotlight. People came to know God's love and His plans for humanity

because of the gatherings and Bible studies they held. As a result, people yearned for a more

genuine Christian lifestyle, which went beyond the previous traditions and rituals.

The Adventist church believes the Bible to be the only source of doctrine and asserts

some essential doctrines to be statements in the Bible. This represents the teachings of the church

based on what is written in Scripture.

By giving a comprehensive picture of what this Christian denomination collectively

thinks and practices, the expression of these notions helps. With these lessons, you can discover

a God who designed the world. He is actively striving to restore a relationship with humanity

that will continue for all eternity, with the limitless grace, wisdom, and love of God.
 In conclusion, the principles of the Seventh-day Adventists are stated in the Bible, and

that is how they hang on to their credo. However, Adventist principles are designed to shape all

aspect of your life. God's scriptures present a fascinating portrayal of Him.

Week 1. Discussion -2

Ellen G. White's writings are a vital part of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. While the

Adventist Church regards the Bible as its exclusive credo and is adamant about following the

Scriptures' teachings, Ellen G. White's writings are seen as a secondary companion to the Bible -

more so than other Christian literature.

The truth and revelation of God in His Word are not dependent on any human experience

for its validity and authenticity for Seventh-day Adventists. Even if no one understands it, the

truth of God cannot be questioned. The person himself needs a type of objective revelation, such

as the Scriptures, since his intellect and heart are filled with darkness. The revelation of truth that

comes only to those who experience it is humanly impossible to achieve otherwise.

As the macabre mask of evil becomes increasingly complex, it's getting harder to tell

what is true. Adventists must not compromise. God's self-revelation in the Holy Scriptures

cannot be compromised. Our mission is to ensure an all-encompassing response to Bible truth for

men and women everywhere.

God has given every individual the aptitude to discern what is moral in the context of

their daily decisions as a result of working in conjunction with the Holy Spirit and the Bible.
This proclamation, therefore, is not designed to displace divine guidance and nor is it intended to

represent an authorized interpretation of that counsel. More precisely, the statement acts as a

summary of the Seventh-day Adventist church's beliefs and views today.

In conclusion, for our activities on a global scale, Seventh-day Adventists undertake

church-state interactions in a significant way. Therefore, we must exercise considerable thought

and faith when dealing with this issue. Adventists will continue to stand for the gospel idea of

freedom of conscience as directed by the Holy Spirit.
