Brother...regardless of anything else, denominations are not of God, they are formed by man - fleshliness. It's kind of a principle that Jesus has sent us out as sheep among wolves....and only a remnant will overcome this. The Lord has longsuffered and mitigated the errors of His church for a...

It depends on your definition of a slam.....examining, testing, comparing and critiquing in the light of scripture is not slamming. Was it my all-caps that bothered you? That was just me shouting it from the rooftops...that according to what Jesus was saying nobody is ever going to get the...

Awww....too cute...what an adorable feller. I hope you meant it kindly.

Are you talking about this part of Brakelite's post below? >> And 1844. William Miller preached for years on that date, and no one could criticise his biblical reasoning of the prophecy. The date of 1844 is rock solid. So you don't like the idea of God judging you before He comes? So find an...

Just so we are clear that cult, rant and slam are your words not mine. I don't know anything about the 1844 prophecy....was it someone date setting? If it was, it would have been a foregone conclusion that it was wrong, according to the words of Jesus who taught that no one knows (or will...

Who said anything about trashing people...that is in YOUR head, not mine. I sure will "trash" lies though and any organization that is leading souls astray......we all should do that.....we are told in scripture to EXPOSE the works of darkness....and that is for the good of people/souls who God...

Government is supposed to just be government, an earthly practical thing for administrating practical earthly affairs of a country. We are to pray for government and pray regarding practical needs and running of the nation, etc, but there is danger in confusing and conflating the practical...

Bringing some scriptures for us to consider. This is not to judge or condemn anyone, but it is the truth and word of God for all our good, that we may learn and grow and have it upon our hearts: Rom 14:1-7 Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations. For one...

I hadn't heard of it brother. Sounds like that Mr. Miller was an idol to Ellen White. When anyone or anything is an idol in our hearts we'll make excuses and justify them and twist things rather than just realize and admit they are wrong and to stop idolizing.

That is not my attitude Brakelite. There are serious problems with Adventism. Sabbath keeping is one of them...because Paul explicitly instructed the church to leave that between the individual and God and also explicitly said we are not to let anyone judge us (ie, rule over us) in that...

Amen. Exactly brother. Those who received not a love of the truth...well, unfortunately they are sent a strong delusion. Seems to be the love of other things (self, flesh, the world etc) above the truth that causes people to reject the truth instead of embracing it.

Babylon is falling, is falling, yes. Two fold double judgment? But Revelation is highly allegorical. I believe "nations" in Revelation 18 is in the same sense it is often used elsewhere in scripture....in the sense of not being Israel.....it is the nations of those who believe...ie, the...

Yes, there are many whose churches and pastors are idols to them. God's word speaks of priests ruling by their own means and the people love to have it so. So they are both at fault according to the Lord, both the church leadership and the people. But it does seem the Lord is calling His...

My observation and experience with SDA folks is that they idolize their church. In thinking their church organization is the one true church they fall into the same error as the RCC, making their church their god over them. Which in addition to violating the commandment of God, it makes it...

Amen, so right. And the way of the world is not God's way.

I agree brother. Unfortunately we are faced with a thin-skinned, snowflake form of Christianity these days that cannot "endure sound doctrine". Many are "tolerating" and enduring everything but the truth. And so proud of their "tolerance" which is from self-righteousness, not the...

If the beast is killing people for not worshiping and going along with him, and not allowing them to buy or sell if they don't take his mark etc, that is not freedom and free will. That is force and intimidation. But of course I agree with what you're saying..........I don't think we have an...

Yes, force and being forceful is what I had in mind. I think there may be different nuances and usages of that word but this is the meaning that I was thinking in terms of: Dictionary Definitions from Oxford Languages · Learn more in·sist /inˈsist/ verb demand something forcefully, not...

If anyone is twisting or using an idea in a wrong way, that is on them. But I don't know if we're talking apples and oranges here. I'm thinking in terms of individuals not in a macro or political sense....certainly not in any way as to try and shut down or discourage correction and speaking...

Amen, the Lord doesn't force His word and will on us. That would not produce spiritual fruit, only artificial fruit. I think I agree with the rest if I'm understanding what you are saying. The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil pertains to the subtle and deceiving serpent and the carnal...
