I have searched on adventist.org to find out if SDAs worship Jesus but couldn't find exactly what I am looking for. I know that they worship God, but also to Jesus?

Please point me to a reliable source that SDAs do worship Jesus.

Thanks!

Man up and give didy an answer

Michael.
Christ said His Name Sake;
not some Sunday Law
why are you so blind to the words of Christ
Matt.24:9
Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted,
and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake

Personal Opinions ????????????

Michael those are the words of Christ
recorded for us by Matthew
for my name's sake.


I know you have told us before
that was just "Christ Opinion" and the McNuttlies of Adventism
had to straighten it out;

His Name S-A-K-E Michael;
I don't think the name of Christ is Sabbath
nor 7th Day

Please point me to a reliable source that SDAs do worship Jesus.

There is one God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, a unity of three coeternal Persons. God is immortal, all-powerful, all-knowing, above all, and ever present. He is infinite and beyond human comprehension, yet known through His self-revelation. God, who is love, is forever worthy of worship, adoration, and service by the whole creation. (Gen. 1:26; Deut. 6:4; Isa. 6:8; Matt. 28:19; John 3:16 2 Cor. 1:21, 22; 13:14; Eph. 4:4-6; 1 Peter 1:2.)

In keeping with the beliefs of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, SDA colleges reserve Saturday (Sabbath) as a day of rest from the daily grind. Sabbaths are also an opportunity for students to strengthen their relationships with Jesus through worship, praise and prayer. All of the SDA universities accommodate this important belief by providing activities for growing in your faith.

Here's one more.

The early Christians continued to worship Jesus as God in the doxologies that refer to Him (see Romans 9:5; 2 Peter 3:18; Revelation 1:5, 6), the prayers offered to Him (see Acts 7:59, 60; 2 Corinthians 12:8, 9), and the songs and hymns sung to Him (see 1 Corinthians 14:26; Philippians 2: 5–11; Colossians 3:16, 17).

Good enough. Thanks, Fred!

I do recall that people get healed and fell down to worship Jesus in the Gospels.

In case you're wondering, I'm not SDA. I am Christian and believe Jesus Christ as my Saviour that he came to the earth to die on the cross and buried 3 days & 3 nights then resurrected from the dead and went up home with 500 witnesses watching. 1 Cor 15:1-4.

Prologue:
AV Mal 3:6 For I [am] the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.

Let us see who calls GOD a liar first ???

AV Isa 58:13 If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, [from] doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking [thine own] words:

The question that you should ponder is, Will GOD give death as a punishment for sabbath breaking again ???

Yours in Christ, Michael
Mal 3:6 For I [am] the LORD, I change not

If Jesus does NOT change (also see Hebrews 13:8) then according to Adventist beliefs that Michael the archangel changed to Jesus Christ?

I wouldn't worship Jesus who is actually an archangel named Michael!

Rev 19:10 and 22:8,9. says it all.

It's 'a sign of our sanctification, a token of our allegiance"

It's "God’s perpetual sign of His eternal covenant between Him and His people."



It's SDA teaching that it will be the final "test".

Hi Didymus,

Adventists believe, and the Bible validates, that Michael the archangel is the Son of God Who was incarnated into humanity and given the earthly name of Jesus the Christ and/or Messiah. SDA's do not believe that Jesus was a created being because they don't believe that to be the archangel the Son of God had to be an actual angel. (One way to think of this is in regard to the President of the United States: Bill Clinton, Barack Obama and Donald Trump each became Commander-in-Chief of this country's armed forces immediately upon taking the oath of office, even though none had ever served in the military.) The word "angel" simply means messenger and is used in Scripture to mean just that, a messenger, or to mean one of the many winged, ministering spirits known as angels, created beings, such as seraphim or cherubim. The key is in the name: angel means "messenger" and arch means "chief, principle, greatest or highest." So "archangel" simply means "highest or greatest messenger." The Hebrew name Michael means "who is like God." Therefore, the title Michael the archangel can be translated as "The greatest messenger who is God."

IOW, the Son of God is "Michael the Archangel" by virtue of the office He holds as the Creator of the angels, not because He is an actual angel; and, of course, we know as "The Word" He is most certainly the "greatest messenger who is God."

I would have you note that virtually the entire leadership of the SDA church were either arian or semi-arian. Many in that church today do not believe that Jesus is eternal God. Michael is one of those that believes that Jesus is a created being.

When you say Unity, do you believe that God is one Being that exists as three Persons, or do you believe that God is a committee of the beings?
