Adventist Paranormal Belief
Adventist paranormal belief teaches that the first death occurs by people living on a sinful earth and is simply the sleep of the soul and this soul is not aware that it is dead. It is believed that the second coming of Jesus these souls will be redeemed and be taken to be with the lord where they will live for a thousand tears sitting with the lord and pass judgement on the unredeemed and the fallen angels. When all have been redeemed by the second coming of Jesus the earth will be empty of all humans and animals and only the fallen angels will be left. When Jesus moves from heaven to earth all unrighteous and the fallen angels will be assembled and destroyed. This will remove sin from the earth and is referred to as the second death. It is believed at this time that “On the new earth God will provide an eternal home for all the redeemed and a perfect environment for everlasting life, where Eden will be restored. The great controversy will be ended and sin will be no more. God will reign in perfect harmony forever.”(Rom 6:23) In this context the Adventist paranormal belief is that there are no ghosts, spirits or demons and no contact with these entities. The Adventist religion was founded by William Miller, who was born in the United States in 1782. An Adventist is one who believes in the second coming of Jesus or the second advent of Jesus. The Adventist denominations are known as conservative protestants. Adventist denominations: Seventh-day Adventist Church Church of God (Seventh-Day) Church of God General Conference Church of the Blessed Hope Davidian SDA (Shepherd’s Rod) United Seventh-Day BrethernThis theology is different from other protestant religions, in that they differ whether the intermediate state is unconscious sleep or consciousness. Whether the ultimate punishment of the evil sinner is annihilation or eternal torment. Whether evil sinners are resurrected or not.Miller taught that the second coming of Christ was to be October 22, 1844 and when this did not occur many people gave up on Adventism. The remaining followers still believe in the second coming of Christ. The Seventh-day Adventist Church has approximately 16,000,000 members. The other Adventist denominations which hold slightly different beliefs have smaller memberships. Religious Paranormal Belief
