Theological reasoning for the beliefs of Joseph Bates, the founder
of Sabbatarian Adventism which evolved into the Seventh-Day
Adventist Church.
Joseph Bates was born in 1792 in Rochester, Massachusetts. At the
age of fifteen, he accepted a job as a cabin boy aboard the Fanny,
sailing from New York City to London. Thus began his career on the
high seas, which culminated in Joseph becoming a respected ship
captain. During one of his trips, Joseph read the Bible his wife
had packed in his trunk and was converted. Thus set in motion his
most important quest-developing a deeper understanding of Scripture
and a deeper love for his Lord and Savior. In 1839 Bates accepted
the teachings of William Miller. Then, months after the Great
Disappointment, in the spring of 1845, Joseph accepted the
seventh-day Sabbath truth. Consequently, he shared this good news
with James and Ellen White, which resulted in his second career as
a speaker, writer, and founding pioneer of the Seventh-day
Adventist Church, which was formed in 1863. The Autobiography of
Elder Joseph Bates provides an in-depth look into his childhood,
his adventures traversing the ocean, his conversion and the reform
movements he supported, and his study of Scripture and the biblical
truths he discovered.
