  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I dont know many SDA. My hairdresser is one and I think she's the only one that I know.

I would like to know are SDA similar to Messianic Jews who are Torah observant?

I have bought meat substitutes from a SDA company. Loma Linda, if I recall correctly. Are SDA encouraged to be vegetarians/vegans?

Who is Ellen G. White and what is her role in the present day church?

Good questions and I am sure you get plenty of replies.

Click here for official EGW info, on the left hand side you will find links to all your questions concerning EGW, if they do not answer you as you think they should, then contact the EGW Estate and ask them.

Click here for the beliefs of the SDA Church

In some ways SDA's are similar to Messianic Jews in that we both keep the Sabbath and probably in other things as well. I have not looked into them very deep as I have only recently came across them.

In brief we are encouraged to leave meat eating out of our diet. That does not mean every SDA does not eat meat. Even those who do generally eat less meat than non SDA's

SDA's have the same Bible as other denominations - Baptists, Methodests, etc. We do observe Friday sundown to Saturday sundown as Sabbath as the messianic Jews, but I believe that is the only thing.

Cliff explained things pretty well, I just wanted to clarify that one thing. Thanks for curiosity. The only way people can truely understand what we believe is by asking questions and being interested. Thanks again!
