text: I'd be tempted to re-jig it all and instead of a list, say "wholism" is actually the philosophy that binds major Adventist beliefs. 
  
  Wholism is the idea that Christianity was originally rooted in Hebrew culture, in contrast to later Gnostic-Greek ideas that would later distort the rest of Christianity. The Gnostics actually taught that the Hebrew God Yahweh was an evil lesser god, and the material created world evil or flawed. Gnostics were the "anti-Christs" Paul and John were talking about.
  
  Adventism is the most anti-Gnostic denomination today. We affirm the Creator and His Creation as good (Sabbath as memorial), rest as good (through the Sabbath), the human body as a unity (not something for an immortal soul to escape), that human functions are good (hence our health message), and have hope in a physical resurrection and new earth. 
  
  I think a more philosophical or meta-narrative approach would be better to a laundry list that is getting longer by the year.
