    The Way/Theosis/entire sanctification.

    “25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? 26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into...

    Why Did the Devil Tempt Jesus?

    And almost everyone else, including you, says they are optional. What you deny is the fact that the law that was written on stone is the same one that is written on the heart. But God writes nothing on the heart you don't want. He doesn't force or coerce your will. However much of your heart...

    Filling in Scriptural Blanks

    Just to add perhaps, some balance. Scripture does declare that the Spirit of prophecy is in God's end time church. “The Lord God will do nothing, but He revealeth His secret unto His servants and prophets.” While “the secret things belong unto the Lord our God,” “those things which are...

    Why Did the Devil Tempt Jesus?

    What desperation is revealed by those who completely ignore one's post that answers all previous challenges, and proceeds to double down on his prejudiced inferences based on some unconfirmed hearsay experiences, and condemns an entire 25 million membership of partaking of his straw men...

    Why Did the Devil Tempt Jesus?

    No-one is to look to the law of God for salvation. The law will always point us to Christ. How so? It exposes our sin, and convicts us of our need of a Saviour. And what does our Saviour do? Does He take the law away so we feel better about ourselves? Does He discard the one law that...

    Why Did the Devil Tempt Jesus?

    Indeed we do. None. Unless of course they have the scriptures. And they believe the scriptures. And through their relationship with Christ and by His grace they choose to act on that belief by keeping sabbath. Then that becomes written on their minds... they act, they believe, in good...

    Who, or what, is the dreaded bogey man of prophecy?

    True, but with a few exceptions. Revelation14. Every single teaching in the NT regarding the resurrection and the second coming. Every single parable that treats of the same. Every single teaching/doctrine in the NT that speaks of angels gathering the elect together. Every single...

    Why Did the Devil Tempt Jesus?

    Yet the NT church honoured the Sabbath, and continued to do so for centuries until the papacy persecuted them for doing so. And yet even then, they're were Sabbath keeping churches in every century even to our day. Why? Because they found no biblical reason to change that which the apostles...

    Why Did the Devil Tempt Jesus?

    Your words were, And I don't believe you. One visit to a church and you "find out" a woman there is having multiple affairs and people were laughing and joking as they transgressed other commandments of God? And all this in just one church you happened to visit. Wow. You paint a vivid...

    Is it okay to blame God for stuff that is his fault?

    Totally. A well known Christian journalist was asked in an interview, "what is wrong with the world?". His answer, we are. He was right. Yes He does. And amen to that. But first He has to let everything play out. Satan with limited influence, but permitted to express himself...

    Why Did the Devil Tempt Jesus?

    Please explain how we do that. How our beliefs teach that NT church leaders gave gentile converts license to sin. Paul himself wrote, “Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law. ” Romans 3:31 KJV I think you lucked out on that one. I have been to...

    Proved? You have shown not one shred of evidence that the snag had been changed or abrogated. You pointed out a few quotes from the mentioned the weekly Sabbath. Have you read of the grandeur and mighty scenes that took place on Mt Sinai when the law was given? Have you read of the attention and...

    Why Did the Devil Tempt Jesus?

    But notice here that obedience is not a mere outward compliance, but the service of love. The law of God is an expression of His very nature; it is an embodiment of the great principle of love, and hence is the foundation of His government in heaven and earth. If our hearts are renewed in the...

    Why Did the Devil Tempt Jesus?

    "If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." 2 Corinthians 5:17. A person may not be able to tell the exact time or place, or trace all the chain of circumstances in the process of conversion; but this does not prove him to be...

    Why Did the Devil Tempt Jesus?

    I'm sorry. But you are testifying to precisely what I have been telling you has been adventist teaching for 160 years. Turning to Christ for righteousness. And good for you. For you, it was in harmony with the 7th commandment. I had similar issues. There is no temptation that is not common...

    The “feet” of the Bear kingdom

    The feet of the bear that belongs to the beast in Revelation 13 is a spiritual metaphor linked to the characteristic of the Persian Empire of Daniel's day. The beast of Revelation 13 is the antichrist of our day, sharing that same characteristic. That characteristic was seen expressed in...

    Why Did the Devil Tempt Jesus?

    Very soon, it will be Sunday keepers insisting everyone observe Sunday. And we don't insist everyone must do as we do. We simply point out what the law says. And what Jesus, and the apostles practised. And what they encouraged the gentiles to follow.

    Why Did the Devil Tempt Jesus?

    Good point. Allow me to copy and paste a post I presented many years ago in response to a similar question. 3 Spiritual laws that govern life. "For I delight in Law One: ..........The law of God. after the inward man".....(Romans 7:22) Paul has nothing but love and respect for God's law. He...
