!["Mithras, the god of Mithraism, was [supposedly] ‘present' in the flesh and blood of the bull, and when consumed, granted salvation to those who partook of the sacrificial meal."
Catholicism teaches that the bread and wine become Christ’s actual body and blood that we eat and drink.
However, when Jesus said, "this is my body" and "this is my blood," it was symbolic;
just as it is when the Bible also says Jesus is a rock, bread, and a door. He is not literally any of those either. And how would a still-living Christ, in His fully intact body, pass His own blood and body tissue to the disciples at the Last Supper? BIBLICAL COMMUNION IS SYMBOLIC
In the early centuries A.D., Roman Emperor Constantine combined Christian and Pagan beliefs in a new religion that could be acceptable to many of either side. It later became Catholicism.
Example: The Catholic Eucharist and Pagan Mithraism
"Mithraism was another religion at that time of the Roman Empire, which was very popular...One of the key features of Mithraism was a sacrificial meal, which involved eating of the flesh and the drinking of the blood of a bull." | image tagged in catholic,god,bible,jesus,last supper,pray | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/3gibax.jpg)
![WHAT ARE THE ORIGINS OF THE “WORD OF FAITH” MOVEMENT? [2 of 3]; One founder was William Seymour who created the Azusa Street Mission in 1906. Those present at the time described absolute chaos with all in attendance wanting to preach, and most everyone did. Nobody stopped to ask for a testimony to even see if the speakers were saved. Even some local witches and sorcerers preached. Seymour realized who they were and stopped them from preaching but they continued to attend and practice their weird worship during the service. Also weird for a Church service, were reports of kissing between unmarried persons. Again, everyone preached, except Seymour, who just sat with his head in a crate and from time to time shouted, "Repent!” | image tagged in bible,god,jesus,christian,church,pray | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/436tu0.jpg)
![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](http://i.imgflip.com/3gwksh.jpg)
