The Bible states "Either Law or Grace". (Romans 11)

• Seventh-Day Adventist churches combine Old Testament law with New Testament grace.

The Bible states "No private interpretation". (2nd Peter 1-2)

• All SDA believers must believe that Ellen White is a prophet, and that her writings give true interpretation to the Bible.

Jesus removed the law as an entry point to Heaven. (Letter to the Galatians)

• SDA believers must acknowledge the "1844 event" in which Jesus Christ has moved up in position from priest to judge and is actively judging all Christians according to Old Testament laws, including dietary laws and Sabbath observance.

The Bible teaches us to come to the Father through our eternal High Priest, Jesus Christ. (Hebrews 5)

• SDA believers think that Jesus has move away from this role, and do not think of Jesus Christ as their priest.

The New Testament teaches that women should be silent in Churches. (1st Corinthians 14:34)

• The SDA church came into existence because of Ellen White's teaching and prophesying to her congregation.

The Old Testament provided an exclusive way to approach God (what was given to Moses) to a specific people (the descendants of Israel). This way was hard, and failing to live up to your end of the covenant would bring a promised destruction and a return to the covenant would bring a promised restoration. This is the Old Covenant.​

The New Testament provided a specific way to approach God to anyone willing to both hear and respond with belief to the message given. The message was simple and the covenant would bring a helper to all followers who would aid you in the way. Failing to live up to the covenant would consist of losing faith, and a return to the covenant would restore the individual. The Laws are internalized and written on the heart and the Helper lives within the individual as a seal of ownership. There is a Heavenly Priest and a Heavenly Tabernacle to replace the earthly ones of the old covenant, the individual has direct access at all times.

Seventh-Day Adventism is saying there is a need for a Third Covenant and that the New Covenant is no longer enough. This is the same false claim that the Latter Day Saint and Islam make.
