Col 2:14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
Jesus Christ nailed the LAW OF MOSES (including the 10 commandments) to the Cross..........and He blotted them out
ELLEN WHITE contradicts Jesus Christ by insisting on Sabbath-keeping
Collossians 2;16............i don't let White judge me concerning dietary rules, the keeping of assemblies, new moons, Jewish Festivals, Sabbath, etc
White is against me...........and she is against Christ Jesus

The Seventh-day Adventist (abbreviated "Adventist"[3]) Church is a Protestant Christian denomination which is distinguished mainly by its observance of Saturday, the original seventh day of the Judeo-Christian week, as the Sabbath. The denomination grew out of the Millerite movement in the United States during the middle part of the 19th century and was formally established in 1863.[4] Among its founders was Ellen G. White, whose extensive writings are still held in high regard by the church today.
Much of the theology of the Seventh-day Adventist Church corresponds to evangelical teachings such as the Trinity and the infallibility of Scripture. Distinctive teachings include the unconscious state of the dead and the doctrine of an investigative judgment. The church is also known for its emphasis on diet and health, for its promotion of religious liberty, and for its culturally conservative principles. This quick summary of key Seventh Day Adventist doctrine is from an ex SDA pastor (you could obtain it from any SDA pastor or read such SDA publications as: books as “Doctrines of the Church”; “From Sabbath to Sunday”; etc) Seventh-day Adventists (SDA’s) are a Christian denomination who have, until recently, been fringe to mainstream protestant denominations. The reason for this difference/separation is that SDA’s were seen to, and still do, have two particular beliefs: 1. ‘a righteousness by works’. SDA’s believe that you are one of the righteous because you have faith in Jesus Christ - and true faith is recognized by a righteous life and the true sign of a righteous life is to worship on Saturday (the Sabbath). In other words – if you are righteous by faith you will be righteous by works and the key ‘work’ is to worship on Saturday. There may be those who are righteous who are not worhipping on Saturday, but that is only because they are ignorant at this stage. This Saturday worhipping righteousness has always been present since Jesus Christ but the antichristian ‘beast’ ( the papacy) declared Sunday the day of worship. It won’t be too long before the beast –Catholic Church - will make it globally law for every person to worship on Sunday. Then the truly righteous will ‘come out of her’ (the false church’s who follow the ‘mark of the beast’- Sunday worship). Saturday worship will be the lifestyle that the truly righteous – the ‘remnant’- will observe, and all would practice it now if they were ever put to the true test.
2. A faith that is not ‘sola scriptura’ (a belief in God that is based solely on the Christian bible/scriptures). SDA’s believe that the remnant church has the ‘spirit of prophecy’. And this spirit of prophecy was Ellen White. An American lady who lived in the mid 1800’s. The ‘spirit of prophecy’ authoritatively interprets the ‘word of God’ (the bible/scriptures). So what Ellen White has to say about the the bible is the authoritative understanding of the bible and these writings are what the ‘remnant’ – the SDA church – have and follow.
The world church is governed by a General Conference, with smaller regions administered by divisions, union conferences and local conferences. It currently has a worldwide membership of over 15 million people, has a missionary presence in over 200 countries and territories and is ethnically and culturally diverse.[2][1] The church operates numerous schools, hospitals and publishing houses worldwide, as well as a prominent humanitarian aid organization known as the Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA).
