AboutSal Expertise I am privileged to be able to offer an alternative insight into the complicated world of Seventh-Day Adventists (SDA) theology. I will rely heavily on the Bible, but will also consider history and use logic in exposing deficiencies in SDA teachings. I would ask anyone who is considering becoming a SDA or if you are already in the SDA church, but are searching for the truth, to please allow me to offer a different explanation for the claims of the SDA. Remember : "The truth will set you free" (John 8:32). I can answer your questions pertaining to the beliefs and history of the SDA. I am not able to answer questions concerning spirituality or church discipline.
Experience I have extensively studied the theology of the Seventh-Day Adventists (SDA) for a number of years. I have many books and tape sets produced by experts in this field of study. I have debated current members of the SDA church. I have a great desire to help these people see the truth.

Question Sal:
Your mistake is you fail to recognize that the Old Covenant had 2 parts, the moral part and the ceremonial part. And only the ceremonial part was abolished at Calvary.

Answer Dear Lisa:
God never inspired anyone to write down that the Old Covenant has two parts. The Jews understood the Old Covenant to be one unit. They did not believe that they could separate the law into parts. The Jews were equally obligated to keep what you call the two parts. Note that when the Jews vowed to keep the Old Covenant they made no mention of two parts. "When Moses went and told the people all the LORD's words and laws, they responded with one voice, 'Everything the LORD has said we will do'" (Exodus 24:3). Likewise, Paul never mentioned two parts. "By calling this covenant 'new,' he has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and aging will soon disappear" (Hebrews 8:13).
