Am I in a Cult?

She is engaged to a man who is SDA, and is likely very strong in his convictions that this is the right church.  This is more of a situation where she has to decide if she can accept going there from now on.  

My advise Ivy Lynn is that if you are ok with the marriage and going to this church, know your Bible, and have a personal relationship with Christ outside of the church.  You will have to deal with their teachings, but you as an individual can still have a relationship with Jesus.  You may have to obey things you don't agree with, but you already know that.  If this is too hard for you, now is the time to back out of the wedding.  Just pray about it.  I wouldn't look bad on you either way, but being unequally yoked has caused a lot of heartaches in marriages.  

Good advice Butero,

Being unequally yoked has caused a lot of heartaches in marriages. For that very reason we have this warning in the Word of God;

2 Cor. 6:14, Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

Now if I was  IvyLynn I would ask her future husband if he would leave the SDA for her, and see how he reacts to such a request.

so much legalism these days

 

There is so much legalism in religion these days because there is so much license in spirituality. These two polarizations feed off of one another. Those of both poles are becoming unbalanced.

I don't think the SDA Is a good church. I hope you don't feel offended. It's not in tune with church of the bible.

Perhaps the video with the following headlines from witch you can find on youtube can help you determine the answer to your question?

The title of the video is the following.

15 Bible Contradictions from Ellen G. White - SDA

We are all gods children...

please don't judge, did JC judge?

We are all God's creation.  We are NOT all God's children.  And Yes, Jesus judged and will judge.

It's not a cult, the rules and submission sometimes get the best of me

Yes, it is a cult and has every hallmark of a cult, and it teaches a works-based system of righteousness, which contradicts the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  The SDA is not Christian by any stretch of the imagination.

It's not an opinion.   The SDA teaches a false gospel.
