Religion in the US

Adventists, the only Christians, believe that the human soul is mortal, but the Lord, having descended to earth, can resurrect it and it will go to judgment. They also deny the existence of hell, because after a conversation with the Lord, any soul will repent of its unrighteousness.In her Revelations, Ellen White saw that, of all days, God honors the Sabbath, and it is on this day that believers should rest from work and dedicate it to prayer and spiritual meditation.Over time, Seventh-day Adventist teachings became more Protestant-like.
