Adventists (Seventh-day Adventists)

Seventh-day Adventists are a Christian denomination emphasizing the importance of the Bible, the imminent Second Coming of Jesus Christ, and observing Saturday as the Sabbath day for worship and rest. They promote a healthy lifestyle, including vegetarianism and abstinence from alcohol and tobacco. Developed in the 19th century from the Millerite movement, Adventists focus on preparing individuals spiritually for Christ's return, emphasizing education, healthcare, and community service. Their beliefs integrate traditional Christian doctrines with distinctive practices centered on the Bible’s teachings and the anticipation of Jesus’ return to restore peace and justice.
