What is a Seventh-Day Adventist?
Yesterday, I talked about how I was raised a Seventh-Day Adventist. When I was a kid, I was embarrassed by the fact that we went to church on Saturday, and on the Sabbath, we couldn’t do anything I deemed fun.
As an adult, I tried to attend church again several times. One of the churches I went to was great. Still, when someone there made excuses for someone else’s poor behavior, I became disenchanted.
When I moved to Northern Arizona, I started going to another church. They were friendly, but they were too nosy for my liking. Then the pandemic hit, and I just gave up.
I am a spiritual person but have decided to practice on my terms. Anyway, I wanted to share Adventist fundamental beliefs in case this is something new to you.

The Seventh-day Adventist Church is a Protestant Christian denomination distinguished by its observance of Saturday, the seventh day of the week, as the Sabbath. This practice is rooted in the denomination’s interpretation of the Bible, emphasizing the Fourth Commandment’s call to keep the Sabbath day holy.
