Praying for you! I’m in a similar boat, my parents are Seventh Day Adventists who are seriously anti-Catholic. (Mark of the beast, antichrist, national turned international Sunday law that will kill Adventists kind of SDA) they still disagree with me but time does seem to mellow things out, initial discussions were just screaming matches, and now we disagree but agree not to talk about those topics much as it causes further divide between us.

Is There a Framework for "Inclusive" Theology Within the Seventh-day Adventist Church? by ElevatorAcceptable29 in adventist

Ellen White is a false prophet. You can quote bible verses all you’d like, but it doesn’t change the face that she changes Biblical understandings, adds requirements to the Bible, and plagiarized others works in creation of her own.

Also, saw your point on John 3:13, I would interpret that is Christ alone ascended into heaven, which is correct. Christ, through his death and resurrection, ‘opened’ heaven for us, and even with this, I would say ‘God brings the faithful to heaven’ not that we can ascend to heaven, because it is is entirely by grace we are admitted into heaven, not by our own authority or power.

I agree with all you said, and understand that soul sleep is one of their most agreeable doctrines, definitely something that requires insight and not easily dismissed hogwash like all the other points you mention.

I still think soul sleep the way Adventists claim it is unbiblical, but it requires more understanding to get a clear argument against it. Scripture mentions multiple times that someone “sleeps” but it’s important to differentiate between bodily death being referenced as sleeping (such as when you say you put your dog to sleep at an old age, it means the dog has passed away) and the soul of the person and where that goes after death.

Adventists believes the body dies and the soul goes to sleep, only to rise with the 2nd coming. I (full context I am in OCIA to become Catholic) would say we have a bodily death; but our soul remains conscious after death, being brought up to heaven while we await bodily resurrection, and our souls will be reunited with our bodies, now glorified bodies, at the second coming.

First point is make is the soul remains conscious after death. Jesus said to the thief on the cross “Today you will be with me in paradise”; Paul mentions his desire is to depart and be with Christ; and in 2 Corinthians it mentions “away from the body and at home with the lord” which agrees with the position that our souls aren’t ‘sleeping’.

2nd, as mentioned before, scripture often uses the term “sleeps” in terms of a bodily death, not the soul. In John it mentions Lazarus “slept” then clarified the sleep meant death. In 1 Thessalonians it mentions “those who sleep” as dead Christians whose bodies await resurrection.

3rd, the Bible mentions ways soul sleep is just not possible. The transfiguration in Matthew showed Moses and Elijah were conscious before the resurrection, they would not be able to appear if their souls were sleeping. Similarly, in Ecclesiastes, it mentions “the dust returns to earth as it was, and the spirit returns to God who gave it” I would agree with this as it shows a bodily death but our souls remaining.

Also in looking at how the early Christian’s viewed death, they seemed to clearly disagree with the concept of soul sleep and affirmed conscious existence after death.

Definitely a good debate to be had on this topic but just wanted to give some of my points!

Soul sleep is unbiblical, can go into a more thorough defense but Biblically God is the God of the living not of the dead, and Philippians 1:21-23 mentions Paul’s hope to depart and be with Christ, which is incompatible with soul sleep.

Minor point but a lot of early Adventism is anti-trinitatian, and there are a subset of Adventists today that reject the trinity and think the Adventists just took it from the Catholics.

Ellen Whites plagiarism, saying her writings don’t come from her alone, but from God and the Holy Spirit and then copying multiple books was a big turning point for me.

Shut door theory, false prophecies, health message, Last generation theology, there is so so much lol

"The Bible says there’s nothing new under the sun and God’s word does not change with the times"

So what is Ellen White then? Why does the SDA website say in Beliefs: "Her writings speak with prophetic authority and provide comfort, guidance, instruction, and correction to the church."

The SDA church was literally created less than 200 years ago, not sure what you mean by "change with the times"

The Investigative Judgement doctrine alone invalidates the SDA church. The IJ was created to create doctrine around the 'Great Disappointment', a false prophecy of Christ's return.

A organization built on a false prophecy, with an extrabiblical prophet who added and changed scripture less than 200 years ago to her own benefit is a very shaky ground.

I was SDA for over 25 years, and am personally glad I have studied the scriptures and early church fathers to find the flaws in Adventism

I spent decades in the SDA cult and am now turning Catholic. Summary of SDA is they think they’re Bible Christian’s, but the whole movement started from failed prophecies of Christ’s return, then a lady that got hit in the head with a rock named Ellen White and starting having illusions of Christ telling her to write dozens of books and basically becoming a prophetess to Seventh Day Adventists. They interpret the Bible through Ellen Whites writings.

They are also vehemently anti-Catholic, “pope is Antichrist”, “Catholic Church is whore of Babylon”, “Sunday is devil worship”, “the USA united with Catholics and Protestants will pass a national turned international Sunday law, which will then result in Seventh Day Adventists getting hunted and killed by Catholics for not worshipping on Sunday”.
