Seventh-day Adventist Church

From the Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia that anyone can change

The Seventh-day Adventist Church is a regular Protestant Christian denomination or church, but it has some beliefs that are different from most Protestant denominations. The Seventh-day Adventist Church is also called the SDA church. It came from the Millerite group, that included people from many denominations. The Millerites started in the 19th century, after the year 1800. The Millerites were people who followed the teachings of William Miller. Miller preached that Jesus is coming very soon, in the Second Coming or Second Advent. That is why the church that came from them called themselves "Adventists." The SDA Church also believe that the day we should worship God is Saturday. They call this day Sabbath, like the Bible does. It is the seventh day of the week. That is why they are called "Seventh-day Adventists".

The Seventh Day Adventists also follow many of Ellen G. White's writings, a prophet who got visions from God interpreting the end of the world and what heaven will be like. As Seventh-Day Adventists, they believe that they should not eat unclean foods like pig, certain fish, and animals that the bible names as unclean. They practice healthy eating, vegetarianism, abstaining from immoralities, smoking, drinking or doing anything to harm what they consider the Temple Of God or their bodies.
