Zone1 Latter day Saint or Seventh Day Adventist? Which one would you fit in best with?

[DennisPTate]

I actually have gone through this question, especially since moving to Ontario, from Nova Scotia, Canada.

I have attended both the Seventh Day Adventist churches lots of times and I have also attended the local Latter day Saint local Ward's.

I came to the conclusion that I would fit in better with Latter day Saints than I would with Seventh day Adventists, even though, I do love how SDA's try their best to honor Messiah Yeshua - Jesus with their whole hearts on the Jewish Sabbaths.

I believe that Latter day Saints are in a unique position to bring Shalom to ten million Israelis through the fact that they have their "Brigham Young University" in Jerusalem Israel.


I actually feel that I am supposed to get closer to full fledged Judaism in some manner, [which is one of the many reasons why I have not yet jumped into either the SDA or LDS movements.

I feel that I have something of a calling on my life that could remind a Christian Theologian of the calling that Paul felt was on Timothy?

Paul came to Derbe and then to Lystra, where a disciple named Timothy lived, whose mother was Jewish and a believer but whose father was a Greek. 2;The believers at Lystra and Iconium spoke well of him. 3;Paul wanted to take him along on the journey, so he circumcised him because of the Jews who lived in that area, for they all knew that his father was a Greek. 4;As they traveled from town to town, they delivered the decisions reached by the apostles and elders in Jerusalem for the people to obey. 5;So the churches were strengthened in the faith and grew daily in numbers."

[Acts 16]

Bible Gateway passage: Acts 16 - New International Version

Timothy Joins Paul and Silas - Paul came to Derbe and then to Lystra, where a disciple named Timothy lived, whose mother was Jewish and a believer but whose father was a Greek. The believers at Lystra and Iconium spoke well of him. Paul wanted to take him along on the journey, so he circumcised...

You left out “neither”

Which I’m gonna guess is the option most of us would choose

I modified the poll to fit with your answer.

You and I might be able to get into a discussion some day on how a significant percentage of people who identify as "Atheist" tend to turn Atheism into something that resembles a "religion" in many important ways. Karl Marx, Mao and Stalin are three names of "Atheists" who enforced Atheism as being something like the State Religion of Russia or China.

Both are sort of phony Cults with crazy rules. Neither is correct.

Use the real Bible. Go to Church on the Sabbath as the Bible dictates. Quit marrying 16 yr old hotties for your stable.//

From what I have seen Seventh Day Adventist girls are pretty good at making sure that they have not ended up in any variation of the word "harem," by any definition of the term.

Interesting.

I know nothing about 7th day adventists, but if it involves any sort of “sister wives” situation, that’s a harem….

What day is the biblical Sabbath?

 

[leftwinger]

What day is the biblical Sabbath?

I go by the Lords day. The 7th day. Or Sunday. I dont care what crazy cults or Muslims (Fri) do. I go old school. What they drew up from the original Bible not the Koran or John Smith.

Christians worship on Sunday, known as the Lord’s Day, to commemorate the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Seventh day Adventist girls do not allow themselves to get into any "Sister Wives" situations but also this is true of the large group of Latter day Saints that number about sixteen million members. It is only smaller groups of Latter day Saints who have branched off from the largest group who have "Sister Wives."

I take my wife to whatever Sunday keeping church that she wants to go to but I personally have turned down jobs that expected me to work on the weekly or annual Jewish Sabbath, [I regard the seventh day as beginning on Friday at sunset and going until Saturday at sunset].

 

[DennisPTate]

What day is the biblical Sabbath?

Friday at sunset until Saturday at sunset, as far as I can tell.

For the record I am of the belief that the crucifixion of Messiah Yeshua - Jesus almost certainly took place on a Wednesday. The first day of Unleavened Bread, [an annual Jewish Sabbath was on Thursday in 31 C. E.] Then on FRiday the women prepared the spices for the burial of Messiah Yeshua - Jesus. Then early on Sunday morning they went to the tomb but Messiah Yeshua - Jesus was already risen. My belief is that he was in the out of the body state with the other thief on the cross giving him a tour of "Paradise" for several hours before Yeshua went to hell, [probably exactly at sunset Wednesday evening] , then Yeshua was in hell, for three days and three nights, just as Jonah was in a great fish for three days and three nights.

Then Messiah Yeshua taught and preached, [probably all over the world], for forty days, much as Jonah preached in Nineveh and warned them that they had only forty days to repent and change their ways.

He answered, “A wicked and adulterous generation asks for a sign! But none will be given it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. 40;For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. 41;The men of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and now something greater than Jonah is here. 42;The Queen of the South will rise at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for she came from the ends of the earth to listen to Solomon’s wisdom, and now something greater than Solomon is here.

43;“When an impure spirit comes out of a person, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. 44;Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’ When it arrives, it finds the house unoccupied, swept clean and put in order. 45;Then it goes and takes with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there. And the final condition of that person is worse than the first. That is how it will be with this wicked generation."

[Matthew 12]

Um, the Mormons haven't done that for nearly a century.

Here's the thing, I've been pretty critical of LDS over the years, but at the end of the day, their religion is no sillier than any other religion.

I was brought up Catholic, which is truly the OG Christianity. But Catholics have a lot of silly rules that aren't in the Bible, either.

No religion lives according to the Bible. (If they did, they'd be arrested as complete psychopaths!) They pick and choose the parts they like.

 

[DGS49]

When assessing religions that are not your own, it's better to ignore the theology - presume it's all bullshit, regardless.

Your assessment should focus on whether the adherents of the religion are good citizens. Do they avoid criminal lifestyles, pay their taxes, join the Armed Forces in good numbers and do charitable work - other than proselytizing.

From that standpoint, LDS is cool; not sure about 7DA.

I am a Christian, but I go to church on Saturday. How's that?

I am sorry to inform you that the Church of Jesus Christ of latter-day saints use the king James bible.

 

[BreezeWood]

I do love how SDA's try their best to honor Messiah Yeshua

there never will be or has ever been a heavenly messiah sent by them for anyone or much less to save them.

makes all the desert religions hoaxes and betrays the message of the 1st century, the original goal of antiquity and the liberation theology, self determination those people gave their lives for.

I dare you to put together a film production cooperative or kibbutz,
of your family and friends and set up a meeting for you to meet face to face with
near death experiencer Robert Marshall and his wife Carol for YOU to debate Robert and Carol Marshall on that point?

I could be wrong, but I do believe that you could fairly easily set up a meeting with near death experiencer Robert Marshall, [and / or his wife Carol], who you can learn more about here:

[Robert Marshall ] :

Question:

What is the book 44 Hours In Heaven About?




This is a true story and testimony from a man named Robert, who died three times on May 19th, 2024. He explains how he died by suffocating, drowning in his blood in his lungs, acute hypoxic respiratory failure, and cardiac arrest. The result was his suffering oxygen deprivation to his brain for a total of approximately 90 minutes and about his visits to Heaven each time he died.


Each time he died, he went to Heaven. The 1st time he went to Heaven was for 15 minutes; the 2nd time was for 17 minutes; and the 3rd time was for 43 hours and 28 minutes. In the book 44 Hours in Heaven, he shares what Heaven is like, the conversations he had with Jesus, and what he learned.



The following excerpt from chapter 10 in the book "44 Hours In Heaven" contains what Jesus commanded Robert to do.


Jesus said, "You will worship Me in truth and spirit, and you will do as I command you."


Jesus then told him what He would require him to do, “You will worship Me in Truth and Spirit, and you will do as I command you.”


“In doing so, you will share how and why you were given life again."


“You will share with anybody that I put in your path and will entertain any questions about what I shared and taught you from anybody who asks.”

What is amazing is the absolute IGNORANCE of most of the posters on this board. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints hasn't practice Polygamy since the mid 1890's over 120 years ago. The group that does is not part of the Church and hasn't been for all that time.
