7th Day Adventists are a cult, just like Mormons, Jehovah Witnesses, Armstrongism, and many others. I broke off contact with a group of people on Facebook because I discovered they were 7th Day.
“7th Day Adventists are a cult”

Bingo.
Living by the writings of “Prophetess” Ellen G. White, a woman whose visions are (a) attributed to God, (b) caused by a rock hitting her in the face, or (c) plagiarized writings of her failed author husband James that he stole from other authors.
Belief in SDA tenets means suspending reason. And cult tactics are used to accomplish this.
SDA’s are not a cult. Most believe in the Triune God and that Christ is fully man and fully God. We just happen to believe that the commandments, which were written on the heart of Adam, but had to be written on stone at Sinai, to which will eventually be written again on the heart of man at the Second Coming, were not invalidated at the Cross.
What was invalidated was the sacrificial system, which had always pointed at the cross and was fulfilled at Christ’s death.
Ultimately all religions are cults. It all boils down to somebody told me something extraordinary happened, I believe it, that settles it.
...including Scientology and Islam.
