Yup, I am on the side of the 1st century Christians who walked and talked with the Apostles and you are on the side of the 16th century Christians who walked and talked with the Reformers. Clear enough?
Actually, the Seventh-day Adventist faith goes all the way back to Adam, and up into Heaven before that, and does not merely stop off in the 1st century AD.
Adam, was a Seventh-day Adventist. So was Abel, Seth, Enoch, Methuselah, Noah, Shem, Abraham, Job, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Joshua, ... Samuel, David, Solomon, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, Malachi ... James, Peter, John, Paul ...
The Reformation begun well before the 16th century, with even the Morning Star, Wycliffe himself (Daniel 11), and others before him and after him, Huss, Jerome, Patrick of Ireland, and so many others. It also existed outside of Roman Catholicism, with the Paulicians, Albigensi, Passagini, Vaudois, Valdensi, Sabbatini, Insabbati, &c. whom Luther and others met with, who were never Roman Catholic.
Our name and roots bear who we are, belonging unto the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the Ending, the First and the Last, the Author and Finisher, and all inbetween, we claim as our heritage. We claim Adam, and Abel, Seth and Enoch, Noah and Job and Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (Israel), Joseph and Moses, Joshua and Samuel, David and Solomon, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel and Daniel and all the others, unto John the Baptist, Jesus, Peter, James, John, Jude and Paul, those of the way, the Vaudois, Waldenses, the Passagini, Insabbati, Sabbatini, Albigensi, etc., Wycliffe, Huss, Luther, Calvin, Knox, Zwingli, Melanchthon,Tyndale, Patrick of Ireland, Jerome, Rogers, Wishart, Wesley, Gill and so many others.
Ours is the oldest religion, stemming from God Himself in Heaven above.

The least you could do, is read the entirety of those two works, even as I have read countless materials of Catholicism (bulls, encyclicals, briefs, letters, etc), and also going all the way back into the 'ecf', 'Syrian', "eastern' etc materials, and others, Augustine, Origen, Aquinas, and many other names.
