My questions are based on my SDA education during the 1960s and early 70.
The SDA church was based a lot on Ellen G Whites dreams or visions
The SDA insist that Saturday is the only day that can be observed as a sabbath day.
The SDA teach that references to wine in the bible is actually grape juice.
The SDA teach that drinking alcohol, coffee, tea is unhealthy therefore a sin.
The SDA teach that eating meat is unhealthy and therefore is a sin. Especially pork products.
The SDA teach that eating eggs, butter, and milk is unhealthy (based on Mrs. Whites dreams)
The SDA teach that women should not wear makeup or jewelry.
Most SDA will not become involved with other Christian denominations.
Most SDA will disassociate themselves from anyone that leaves the denomination and joins another denomination or church outside of the SDA.
The SDA has been extremely critical of the Catholic church.
The SDA denomination was founded in 1863 but the movement started in the early 1830s. Ellen G White’s dreams and teaching were the main motivating factor for the foundation of the SDA.
Today we also have the reformed SDA denomination and I haven’t studied the differences, but it is just another split of denominations.
I would greatly appreciate anyone involved in the SDA denomination especially Elders or theologians to comment as well at other theologians and pastors.
My background, seven years of SDA schools and four years at Loma Linda (SDA college). Left the SDA denomination in 1974 so I’m not current on present day SDA teachings.
