I should correct one thing. Adventists don’t believe the dead are unconscious. The term sleeping is just a more gentle way to say nonexistent. Adventists believe that life is the combination of the breath of life and the physics body. When they are separated, that person ceases to exist.
We tend to think our earthly time line is the reference point to all reality when it is the other way around.
In a sci-fi like lingo, we might say the dead are time tunneled to the resurrection point.
That’s right. Seventh-Day Adventists believe that people die, and that the dead know not anything. We believe that the dead rest in the faith that God will return for them. Their bodies waste away and yet somehow God promises to bring them back.
We don’t know all the ways of God, so we can’t explain this.
There are many questions I look forward to asking Jesus.

I don’t know even one SDA that believes that nonsense.
Where on Earth did you get it?
