    1 JOHN WAS WRITTEN TO ISRAEL

    Yes God forbid that such a text should apply to the church. Keep His commandments? Do things that are pleasing to God?? Who could possibly be so stupid for thinking that Christians ought to keep God's commandments right?

    Looking realistically at ourselves.

    Mmmm. If Paul was inspired by the same holy Spirit as the prophets and the Son of God, then yes, Paul and Jesus spoke/ wrote with the same authority. When Jesus quoted David, or Moses, did those words suddenly have more authority than when they were first penned? I would suggest that when we...

    How long is a Yom? 24 hours? Genesis 1.1.

    If we are going to discard the idea of a literal creation week and reduce it to a metaphor basing it on "science", what's to stop us from discarding the fall, sin, the rationale behind death, the promise of a Saviour, and conclude with doubting the need of one?

    THE GOSPEL

    The foundation of the gospel is the love of God. That love has been expressed throughout history by the constant and unfailing desire of God to be with His people. “8 And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves...

    FBI experts in counterfeits spend all their time studying true currency. They are so familiar with the real, that when they come across a fake, in many instances, it is instantly recognisable. They have no need to study the entire note in order to ascertain its fraudulent nature. One glance...

    There is an accursed thing in the midst of thee, O Israel: thou canst not stand before thine enemies, until ye take away the accursed thing from among you. Joshua 7:13. Those who make a profession of Christianity and yet fail to have true piety are false lights, false signboards pointing in a...

    Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law; yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart. Psalm 119:34. When Christ ascended and laid open before the heavenly intelligences the scene of the conflict and the fierce attacks that Lucifer made against Him to prevent Him from accomplishing His...

    Those who choose deception will easily find it. Men can have truth or error, light or darkness, according to their preference. But to practice a wrong course will never convert error into truth. However sincere men may be in their practice of deception, they cannot be justified in an evil...

    All who have a sense of their deep soul poverty, who feel that they have nothing good in themselves, may find righteousness and strength by looking unto Jesus.... He bids you exchange your poverty for the riches of His grace. We are not worthy of God's love, but Christ, our surety, is worthy...

    Christian? Maybe, maybe not. But the dogma, the immaculate conception, made up I think in the late 19th century in the minds of of the same people who have given us dogma like indulgences, purgatory, eternal torment, the immortality of the soul, and Sunday sacredness, sacred relics and...

    Sorry, you're right. Meant preterism the same as futurism. Both effectively hide the papacy from view.

    Historicism clings to the belief that prophecy began to be fulfilled from the time the prophecy was given, except in cases where particular time periods are specified. For example. The 70 weeks prophecy of Daniel 9 began at a specific time, that being the time of the going forth of the...

    I think if he wants to promote his mystic, start his own thread. I didn't start this thread to promote Ellen White, but rather to show that what she wrote is a very thoughtful refutation of the presumptuous and uninformed opinions many have of her... and her church.

    In the context of the way Paul uses racing as a metaphor, all who complete the race is a winner.

    I will post a couple of scriptures , with just a short comment at the end... “And in very deed for this cause have I raised thee up, for to shew in thee my power; and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth. ” Exodus 9:16 KJV https://www.unfeignedbible.app/Exodus.9.16 “And he...

    No, it's discernment. And if folk tread the first few paragraphs of any of EGWs books and cannot tolerate what they read, who am I to coerce them to continue regardless? I don't expect anyone to read EGW if they believe it conflicts with Scripture. The challenge was to at least read her works...

    Everyone will receive a Mark, whose mark is the question.

    I marvel at the determined reluctance of so many to accept the historical evidence of prophetic fulfillment regarding the little horn, the man of sin who sits in the church claiming to owning prerogatives that belong only to God, the sea beast of Revelation 13 and Babylon the Great, all...

    Nearly 50 years ago I visited a friend, and noticed a book on his coffee table. I had never heard of not seen this book before and put of curiosity, picked it up to peruse. I felt nauseous. I put it down, and began to feel better. I picked it up again and again, felt unwell, but worse than...
