Running Head: The Seventh-day Adventist Religion The Seventh-day Adventist Religion Vicki Allen Axia College Religions of the world The history of the Seventh day Adventist Religion and church is one of faith, belief, and growth. The Adventist movement began during a movement know as the Millerite movement, which was a concept founded by William Miller, who was a farmer that first believed that God created the world and then left it to fend for itself. After diligently conducting self taught Bible studies he formed his own theory, that the Bible held coded messages of when the end of the world would be, and when the second coming of the Christ would be.

The Kingdom of God is like… Laureen M. Warner Grand Canyon University BIB 105 July 11, 2012 Laureen M. Warner BIB 105 New Testament July 11, 2012 Professor Joseph Roach The Kingdom of God is like a Promise The Book of Luke in the Bible records many parables that Jesus told about discipleship and the Kingdom Of God. Much of Jesus teachings were done in parables. The metaphors that were used in these stories reflected the day and age of their use. In Kim Tame’s article, The Kingdom of God is like this, the use of a metaphor for the Kingdom of God was explored by church congregations. The Congregants were challenged to come up with some of their own metaphors to describe and illustrate from everyday life how God feels about us, and what God’s kingdom is like (Tame K, 2005).
