KELLOGG'S CEREAL AND A BALANCED APPROACH TO BIBLE PROPHECY
As a Seventh Day Adventist, John Kellogg (the inventor of breakfast cereal), believed the Second Coming of Christ was imminent and so the formal education of their children was therefore unnecessary. But that's not the balance we need in understanding Bible prophecy. In fact, even in biblical Christianity, the Church seems to mostly be at one end of the spectrum or the other. 
Either they act like we don't need to study Bible prophecy because Jesus is never coming back so there is no imminency of the Rapture, (which is wrong), or others want to use the idea that it could happen today, as a way to get out of the responsibilities for living. Many of the latter, think they don't need to get a job, educate their children, or even have children, because their kids would be
unsaved and have to go into the Seven Year Tribulation. Jehovah's Witnesses' unbiblical teachings are similar.
But a well-balanced approach says, yes, it could happen today but I also need to prepare for living each day as if it could still be a while. It's like a railroad track. You don't want to end up on just one rail or you could be in big trouble. You need to travel through life on both at the same time. That's balance in the study of Bible prophecy and Kellogg apparently didn't have it. | image tagged in christian,bible,god,jehovah's witness,pray,jesus | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

MEAT AND BONES
People call all the time saying they can't find a healthy church. I have to tell them it's all part of the last days apostasy and getting rid of the convenience Christianity won't be easy; they might have to drive far, or even move. But remember, there's no such thing as a perfect church. As the saying goes, if you find the perfect church, don't go there because you'll mess it up. People ask how to know when they’re at the right church. Well, I'm not saying you should accept everything a particular Christian biblical church teaches, because some of it may bug you. But my general rule is this: Chew the meat and every once in a while as you come across a bone, spit it out. It's not that big of a deal. At least you're getting some good decent teaching. So be realistic. 
That said, if you find you've been spitting out more bones than the meat you're given, 
that place may be a waste of your time. | image tagged in bible,church,christian,jesus,god,preach | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

Here are some of her “visions”: Jesus was not the oldest son of the VIRGIN Mary, we can’t be assured of salvation, Jesus did not finish His atoning work on the cross, Jesus was not God, some races of today’s people come from sexual relations between man and animal, the Tower of Babel came before the flood, and God gave the angels gold cards to get in and out of heaven [because He's apparently able to number the hairs on all our heads, but can’t keep track of His angels.] 

Ellen G White was a known plagiarist with up to 90% of some writing copied; all while she professed that her writings came from God. But of course God does not plagiarize.

Does that sound like biblical Christianity? No. And it’s not just missing the Bible’s mark in a couple areas. It's a multitude of their beliefs. We’ve just touched on a few and anyone who does the homework on SDA will conclude that they are not, at all, evangelical Christianity. IS SEVENTH DAY ADVENTISTS A BIBLICAL EVANGELICAL CHRISTIAN ORGANIZATION?

You’ll see the answer is, no, from just a smattering of their beliefs:
They deny the immortality of the soul, the eternality of hell, and the finality of the atoning work of Jesus on the cross. They claim Jesus' atoning work finished in 1844, our sins will ultimately be placed on Satan, we become unconscious at death to be resurrected later, our own works are required to get us to heaven, the wicked will be annihilated, and like Jehovah's Witnesses (an offshoot of SDA), they claim Jesus is Michael the archangel. They also claim Ellen G White’s “visions” were from God so they added her words to their version of the Bible. | image tagged in jesus,bible,god,pray,christian,christianity | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
