Understanding history helps to understand Bible prophecies.

No, I do not agree! Knowing your church history shows that Christianity had to distance itself from the pernicious Heresy of Jewish Sabbath Keeping, especially since the Jews started a special prayer to identify "Christian Traitors". That is why it was decided to worship on the Lords Day.

It's not my church history that I'm talking about, it's all history.

When I study the Scriptures I do not do it with a denominational mindset. I try to let the Scriptures say what they mean and I use the whole Bible to interpret itself. I also agree with you that the SDA church has got some problems and in some areas they are not being truthful with what Scripture is really saying. You will find that there is not one church out there that is perfect but there is one Savior who is. I guess we just have to find the church that best fits with what the Lord has revealed to us in Scripture.

Whether it helps or not is very speculative at best.
Most models of eschatology are framed from a foundation of error, such as the popular 19th century belief that Daniel 7 is simply another iteration of the same kingdoms in Daniel 2.

It is by a return to the Bible that prophecy becomes better understood.

I confess that I didn't look past the first page of your link, but with a domain name of the7thday.org I would expect these folks to be living in the past.

overemphasis on one particular law is usually a symptom of legalistic thinking.... somewhere lurking in the background is a "list" of things that supposedly should be kept.....

And often this list includes a number of man-made ingredients.

without a doubt and usually that becomes the basis of "righteousness."

Can't argue with you there brother!

I am willing to bet that you don't even know your own bias and your own slanted perspective

The Orthodox Christian Church is evangelical but not Protestant.
It is orthodox but not Jewish.
It is not nondenominational, it is predenominational.
It has believed, preserved, defended, taught, and died for the faith of the apostles for 2,000 years." (Excerpt
from the prologue of "Our Life in Christ - Orthodox Christian Ministry"
It is Ancient. It is modern. It is Eternal!!!

There is no perfect Church Leader in the World! But the Church Christ gave us is the only safe harbor we have in this stormy world. It is the most perfect thing we have this side of Eternity!

BTW - Why were there more Christian martyrs in Russia in the 20th Century than the total of all previous Christian martyrs up till that time? The devil only persecutes those closest to God! Food for thought.

If the Bible is "enough," why are you reading this forum?

What devil are you talking about? The one I know of persecutes a lot more people than the ones YOU think are closest to God!

Because adding to the canon of Scripture invokes a curse for the uninspired, and I write as much as read.
