GETTING TO KNOW ABOUT THE SDAs, GETTING TO KNOW ALL ABOUT
THEM
I read this book via an Amazon KINDLE Unlimited download.
What
my precise faith is not of any importance, but what matters is how I express
myself regarding the faith. I’m amazed at how basically all Christians
celebrate the seventh day on Sunday. I’m also surprised how the Roman Catholics
perpetually violate the 2nd Commandment by having Christ on the Cross in front
of the church and have statues of various saints throughout the rest of it,
statues to which the parishioners pray.
All
Christian faiths seem to celebrate the Lord’s day on Sunday; however, those who
are Seventh Day Advent [SDA] practitioners and mark it on Saturdays instead. All
one needs to do to have a non-sectarian reason for Saturday is to look at any
calendar. All weeks start on Sundays and end on a Saturday. The biblical
reference to the seventh day, the day of rest, can be found clearly stated in
GENESIS 1:31, 2:1-3.
Due
to my limited understanding of the SDA faith, I look at it as its followers
desire to live their lives as the Lord did. They desire to follow Him in His
way of keeping the Sabbath day as holy as possible. But there’s a lot more to
the SDA faith, and to better understand it, one needs to look at this church’s
history to attain the reasons and better understand the biblical rationale for
what they believe.
This
book written by Dr. Howard Shin provides the SDA’s history and the biblical rationale
quite succinctly regarding the reason[s] for its existence, and in doing so, he
has clearly fulfilled the premise of the book’s title, “Beliefs: What You Must
Know About Seventh-day Adventism.”
For
wanting readers, regardless of their religion, to be able to see behind the
veil of the SDA religion and remove their ignorance concerning it, as a rather voracious book reviewer of nonfiction Christian books, I’m giving the author and his endeavor here
5 STARS.
