I’ve been reading about Seventh-day Adventists and understand that they differ from most Protestant denominations in observing the Saturday Sabbath and emphasizing health-related teachings. Anything different in their theology from mainline Protestantism?

I know people say Jehovah Witnesses and Latter Day Saints are feel like a cult with a theology that departs from the bible, but what about Seventh-Day Adventists? Do they have unorthodox beliefs?

I am moving out of state in July, but it would be nice to earn a few extra dollars while I am still in the city. What jobs can I get that I can start working quick for at least a month (full time)?

What do you recommend?

Especially in Manhattan or the Bronx/Westchester county

I’ve been thinking about this from a Christian perspective and I’m curious how other believers view this.

If you discovered that your birth name's meaning is tied to devotion to a foreign god, or directly included the name of a deity other than YAH, would you personally consider changing your name? Or would you see it differently?

Note: I am aware that changing your name because of this is not necessary or commanded ever in the bible, but I am asking specifically in regards to your personal convictions.

Hey guys, I am from out of state and have never lived in Texas. I've been applying to many AmeriCorps VISTA positions in Texas to work for a year with them before applying to colleges there. The thing is, my salary with AmeriCorps would be a stipend, a fixed amount of money.

After the year working with them, would I be considered a TX resident if I apply to colleges there including UT at Austin? By the time I matriculate, I would have been living in Texas >1 year, so I am not worried about the time requirement, but rather the stipend part. I would be working with AmeriCorps but I am not sure if that would be considered "gainful employment".

On the website talking about residency requirements for Texas public schools, it says that gainful employment is required for independent individuals, and it says this: "Gainful employment that is sufficient to provide at least one-half of the individual’s tuition, fees, and living expenses or that represents an average of at least twenty hours of employment per week. Employment conditioned on student status, such as work study, the receipt of stipends, fellowships or research or teaching assistantships does not constitute gainful employment."

What do you guys think?

I'm currently applying for jobs before relocating, but any tips you have for me? I'd appreciate it, thanks!

If you want to explain why in the comments, that would be super helpful.

Revelation Chapter 21 1-5:

And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth are passed away; and the sea is no more.

And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven of God, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband.

And I heard a great voice out of the throne saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he shall dwell with them, and they shall be his peoples, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God: and he shall wipe away every tear from their eyes; and death shall be no more; neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain, any more: the first things are passed away.

And he that sitteth on the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he saith, Write: for these words are faithful and true.
