Who are the Seven day adventist?

Who are the Seventh day Adventist? I have long had a fascination with other beliefs. I began in a non-denominational church, and to say the least I really did not understand the restraints of the denominations of today. That is until I joined and preached in a church in Michigan called the community of Christ, in which my first book was largely about. Now I would like to say before I begin our journey into the church known as the seventh day Adventist that I know there will never be the perfect church on earth especially run by is humans. However God did leave us the guidelines that he expects us to follow. God did not design our faiths to be separate and in constant conflict with one another especially over simple doctrinal issues that have- over the centuries tore Gods people apart. He wanted us to worship and praise him as one body not the separate ones that we are today, now with that said let's begin this study of the Seventh day Adventist, then you the reader can determine, is this the church for you or is it, as some might conclude a cult that has pulled God's people away from his word, and set them on a path to damnation.
