Amen, and Amen. There is not a stitch of genuine Adventist teaching which represents that we may, in any way, add to the substance of Christ's essential and necessary Atonement by means of our own performance. Even if we obeyed the law perfectly from the time of our conversions forward, what...

Well, I know this is a popular view with some, perhaps, but the Bible has other things to say about the matter. :) .

I think the key word/phrase in the accusation is "just like." We know that papal Rome, even now, retains many of the traits of pagan Rome, but the biggest and possibly most striking difference will be that she will, of obvious necessity, work out her will and way through another beast/nation...

Aw, I'm sorry I didn't see this sooner, Sis. Praying for you all. :hearteyes: .

The whole "shift" business makes me wonder what this verse is even supposed to have meant: James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. .

I seem to remember reading something about the dubious nature of that reference. .

And if you can't make a good argument against something that even criminals knew until the Internet messiahs came, just build a great big army of scary, violent straw man arguments. The penalty for breaking the Sabbath under the theocracy was no different than for direct violations of other...

So, then, the law of Moses was just a cruel joke on everyone until the New Testament smartened them up? .

I kinda thought Christ's point was: "You're just My Father's puppet (so to speak); these other clowns should know better." Not as scholarly an interpretation, to be sure, but... :contemplate: It's interesting to me that John is also the recounter of another time when Jewish leaders wanted...

Aw, don't whine to me about your problems. (MAN, I want one of those!) Glad to see you back! :D :waves: :hearteyes: .

Reading over all these "would/could/can" statements again, I'm thinking the god you're talking about is way too much like us to be God. "Thou thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself." :hearteyes: .

I don't see how a truly supreme being could ever be as bored as you seem to be making Him out to be. :hearteyes: .

Speaking of Bro Country... :hearteyes: .

We did do an acute, impromptu (it's normally done periodically at a special facility) replacement of a C-141 main gear axle one time. I got a good C-141 story, too. :p And for breakfast I had buckwheat groats smothered with black eyed pea/lentil/spinach chili—not attractive enough to...

About to sit down to our delayed Resurrection Sunday meal. Aside from the normal stuff, the gals make a "Pennsylvania Dutch" delicacy called "potato filling" which is basically just mashed potatoes mixed with stuffing (lots of celery and onion involved) and a few eggs and baked in a casserole...

Technically, I believe, prophecies are not predictions, but history foretold. :hearteyes: .

My answer to your question is No/Maybe. :hearteyes: .

Bach's Brandenburg Concerto no. 3 and a hot cup of Hop and Catnip tea with a couple of Lavender Oil capsules. Then I'll have an April Fools' Day nap. Wonder how that would work? :hearteyes: .

September 11th created quite a culture shock for Millennials. Songs about hideous stuff got to be pretty trendy. Some got an early start, though. Porcupine Tree comes to mind. I got into "Progressive Metal" a little during a backsliding episode. Can't listen to it anymore. As complex and...

I honestly have no idea what makes you think I don't see and agree with what you're saying you desire for me to see here, Dave. :) :hearteyes: .
