Why do you consider the Seventh Day Adventists a cult?
I don't know much about this group, but I see that they go around doing good.
In Asia, they have built many hospitals and are known as very kind-hearted and loving people. In my opinion, their behaviour is more "Christian" than members of many other Protestant denominations.
I'm curious as to why the SDA so controversial. Seem like good people to me.
He calls Seventh-day Adventism a cult because he knows better than any Bible scholar. (rolling eyes) Someone has an axe to grind.
Many do good as seen by the eyes of man, but man's best is evil in the sight of holy God, lest man be born again in the Spirit of God by the grace poured out at Calvary through Christ Jesus.
The SDA relies on works and law keeping - sure doom, for no man can keep the law and if one breaks one bit of the law, he is convicted of the whole law. Such is God's standard. And only the Lamb of God was and is able to keep the law perfectly and, so, able to be the sin offering for those called children of God by faith in Christ.
Behavior of "Christians" does no define Christ. No man can be a perfect example to be followed in all things. We must look to the Savior and His Word alone to see what Christianity is. Many will be turned away on judgment day, having performed many miracles and claiming the name of Christ. They will be called "workers of iniquity".
