Has anyone read, "Exposing Seventh-Day Adventism" by Russell Earl Kelly, Ph.D.
He gives a very good description of Sheol and Hades in relation to death and the body and the soul. Dr. Kelly is a former Seventh-Day Adventist pastor. Here is a portion of why he left the SDA church.

- "Personally, I have concluded that Seventh-day Adventism is a false Christian cult. Two major things make them into a cult. First is their doctrine of inspiration. In Ellen G. White's writings, they have added other writings to the Bible and treat them with equal reverence and inspiration. Second is their exclusiveness. They teach that they are the only true church and totally disdain other Christians who do not observe the Sabbath and who will be lost if Jesus comes and finds them worshiping on Sunday. their appointed committee that provided Martin and Barnhouse answers in the early 1960s was later ridiculed as not representing true Adventism. Questions on Doctrine is not recommended. The church is controlled by thoe who elevate Ellen G. White to the Bible level.
SDA basic doctrine has not changed and will not change because of the stagnating effect of Ellen G. White. Recent visits to the Adventist college from which I graduated were very discouraging because of how Ellen white's writings reign even in Bible classes. Their own Bible version, Sabbath School literature and in-house literature still support almost every paragraph with EGW quotations. To me at least, they have retreated farther into a cultic shell and away from true Christianity."
