“Carson is Seventh Day Adventist. It’s considered a cult by the mainstream Chrisitan organizations because it’s changed the nature of salvation to a salvation by works.”
We had a cultist candidate last time around and that didn’t work out well.
That’s a bit of a stretch.
Cult? LOL
These are my thoughts on it, and I firmly believe in the Seventh-Day Adventist faith.
They believe in salvation by faith in the sacrifice of our Lord Jesus Christ.
SDA’s believe that you cannot make it to heaven by your works alone, but they don’t believe you can profess a belief in Christ then go out and do anything you want because you are “Saved”. Bill Clinton lives by that logic. Think he’s a Christian?
They believe you accept Christ and live the best life you can in accordance with their beliefs that God’s plan is for us to live by His example.
They also believe that you live as close to the Heavenly model as you can, so that you are prepared to continue living that way in Heaven.
If living that way here doesn’t fulfill you, then living that way in heaven won’t either.
I’m not going to claim the denomination would back everything I’ve said here, but it’s close enough to suffice.
