Thank you, PeaceByJesus, for those verses.
Yes we could be judged about major things like idolatry and adultery, but are to let no one judge us about the things which are really just.
Including judging others for judging?
a SHADOW. We are fellow Christians -- sometimes arguing about a SHADOW !!
Because the devil gets into the details, looking to take advantage of ambiguity regarding certain texts in order to employ them to support false doctrine in seeking to seduce souls to heed him, so as the keep God from getting the honor/glory which He alone is worthy of, which the thieving lying devil lusts for, and hate the Divine principle of merit=rewards, disobedience=penalties, and mercy and grace to those who do the latter,, as for the devil he thinks that having the glory of God is his right.
Big Whoop if SDA's wanna go to church on Saturday -- they are technically RIGHT about 'sabbath' -- it never changed from "Friday evening thru Saturday evening" as far as I know.
But their doctrine on the Sabbath historically (today you have an ecumenical SDA which affirms evangelicals, as well as the cultic historical types) was not simply a preference, with a "live and let live attitude toward other Christians, but was a key path of their elitist doctrine, in which they alone are the real remnant, who will refuse to the take the Mark, that of having to worship on Sunday under government mandate.
those who reject God's memorial of creatorship--the Bible Sabbath--choosing to worship and honor Sunday...will receive the mark of the beast." -
Seventh-day Adventists Believe, p. 167, Review and Herald (1989).
And there are many SDA's yet expecting it today (who are unlikely to vote for Cruz).
"Sunday laws will come, and when the movement for their passage begins, we should be there to counter them as we are instructed to do.' - adventistsaffirm.org/article/165/previous-issues/volume-19-number-3/sunday-laws-in-an-age-of-freedo.

They also deny eternal punishment, "that people have a separate conscious immortal part of their being that continues to exist after death' and instead teach that "the second death refers to annihilation (or extinction) of the unrepentant, rather than a continual and eternal conscious torment."

However [this is part of an edit of prior statements] while some annihilationists deny much of any suffering after death, SDAs do teach that when wicked will be raised on the day of judgment. God will inflict on the wicked "conscious pain of whatever degree and duration God may justly determine," "But in the end...the wicked will be consumed entirely and be no more."

Yet since SDAs deny that people have a separate conscious immortal part of their being that continues to exist after death, ultimately this still means that the Lord in Lk. 16:19ff is using science fiction for the first and only time (since it would be a parable, in which the Lord only used known physical realities to represent spiritual ones), and is essentially bluffing about it being better to pluck out an eye if sinning by that would send you into unquenchable fire where "their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched," (Mk. 9:45) as meaning eternal.
Annihilation after even 70+ decades of fulfilling lust lacks much deterrent effect, as rather than suffering unquenchable fire and eternal punishment in the lake of fire the Lord sends them to along with the devil, (Mt. 25:41,46) who "shall be tormented day and night forever and ever." (Rv. 20:10) the lost would only need fear some some indeterminate degree and duration of suffering for sins, and with a lost petty thief who would never go so far as to hurt people ultimately realizing the same eternal end as a Hitler.
They also believe in soul-sleep, but which is not a major issue.
Thus while we need not contend about which day one esteems as the Lord's day, SDA's tend to at least look down on those who hold the first day as the distinctive day of worship. And which is part of their rejection of obedience to ceremonial laws
being the abrogated.
And is more them who earnestly contend for the 7th day sabbath being required obedience. I debated one here a while back, showing him that unlike the other of the 10 commandments, the 4th was conspicuously never repeated or reiterated under the New Covenant, while being relegated to abrogated ceremonial laws, leaving to assert that Rv. 14:7 ("Fear God, and give glory to him") did so.
Nor is any actual NT church, meeting as such, shown specifically keeping the 7th day, while the only specific day the NT believers are recorded as meeting on was the first one (which actually was from Sat. sundown to Sun. sundown), leaving him to try to make Acts 13:42-44 into a NT church.
In my town an SDA congregation and a Presbyterian one SHARED A CHURCH BUILDING --
Which makes sense, but does not mean they fellowship together, which is what your argument needs but would be highly unlikely.
