    The Seventh-day Adventist Church does not consider the apocryphal books to be part of the inspired canon of Scripture. The SDA position on the apocrypha aligns with Protestant views: - The apocryphal books are not considered divinely inspired or authoritative for doctrine - They may contain some historical or cultural value, but are not on par with canonical Scripture - The 66 books of the Protestant Bible are seen as the complete inspired Word of God Key SDA reasons for not accepting the apocrypha: 1. These books were not part of the Hebrew Bible canon accepted by Jesus and the apostles 2. They contain historical and doctrinal errors incompatible with inspired Scripture 3. The apocryphal books themselves do not claim divine inspiration 4. Early church fathers and reformers rejected them as non-canonical While Adventists may reference apocryphal writings for historical context, they are not used as a basis for doctrine or teaching. The focus remains on studying and following the 66 books of the Bible as God's authoritative, inspired Word.

    ### The Ministry of Jesus in Seventh-day Adventist Theology In Seventh-day Adventist theology, Jesus Christ is the central figure of faith and the cornerstone of salvation. According to Ellen G. White, "Christ is the ladder that Jacob saw, the base of which was upon the earth, and the top reached to heaven" (Steps to Christ, p. 105). #### The Pre-Existence of Jesus Seventh-day Adventists believe in the pre-existence of Jesus, as stated in Ellen G. White's writings: "The Lord Jesus Christ, the divine Son of God, existed from eternity" (Patriarchs and Prophets, p. 36). Jesus is co-eternal with God the Father and was involved in the creation of the universe (Colossians 1:15-17). #### The Incarnation of Jesus Seventh-day Adventists believe that Jesus took on humanity to redeem humanity. Ellen G. White wrote, "The King of glory, the eternal Father, took upon Himself the form of humanity, that He might be able to succor humanity" (The Desire of Ages, p. 49). Jesus' incarnation enabled Him to experience human temptations and struggles, yet He remained sinless (Hebrews 4:15). #### The Ministry of Jesus The ministry of Jesus is seen as a demonstration of God's love and a call to repentance. Ellen G. White emphasized the importance of Jesus' ministry, stating, "The ministry of Christ was a ministry of self-denial, of self-sacrifice" (The Ministry of Healing, p. 22). Jesus' teachings, miracles, and sacrifice on the cross revealed God's character and provided the means of salvation for humanity. #### The High Priestly Ministry of Jesus Seventh-day Adventists believe that Jesus now serves as our High Priest in the heavenly sanctuary, interceding on behalf of believers (Hebrews 4:14-16, 7:25). Ellen G. White wrote, "Christ is our Advocate, our High Priest, our Intercessor" (The Great Controversy, p. 482). Jesus' high priestly ministry ensures that those who come to God through faith in Him will receive forgiveness and salvation. In summary, Jesus is the central figure of Seventh-day Adventist theology, and His ministry is seen as a demonstration of God's love and a call to repentance. Through His incarnation, life, death, and resurrection, Jesus provided the means of salvation for humanity, and His high priestly ministry continues to intercede on behalf of believers.
