Wow. I have seldom read such astonishing ignorance of God's character on a Christian forum. Do you not understand that love (God is love 1 John 4:8) and selfishness (God only loves Himself... Christian Soldier) cannot exist together as they are completely contradictory to one another? As for...

Doesn't answer my question. Is your salvation (I am not suggesting God doesn't love you, but His love alone doesn't save you) workout conditions? Yes, God's love is unconditional, which means He still loves those who hate Him and are lost. But is your salvation unconditional? Is it secure if...

No one is claiming that obedience to the ten commandments is a means to salvation.

Regardless your feelings towards Adventism, it remains a fact that your church accepts the responsibility for changing the day for rest and corporate worship from the 7th day to the first. That change wasn't inspired by scripture, but rather from the church's sense of its own authority. In...

The above is entirely unjustified. You do not know me, and are judging me arbitrarily upon no evidence whatever. I resist your accusation utterly. Little wonder there are some here wondering where the love is on this forum.

What interpretation? I merely quoted the scripture, then asked some questions. I made no statement nor offered an opinion. The questions... were in response to your statement...That's why God doesn't love any man. My questions i believe are quite justified.

I will doubt it until such time as God confirms it personally to me. Either way, it won't affect my salvation. And it's importance, whatever it may be, will never exceed the least important truth revealed already in scripture.

We can be assured of our salvation. The apostle John tells us this... “18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. 19 And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him. ”1John 3:18,19". We can also know that we...

I don't mind the forum having a statement of faith. But the moment it becomes a standard by which members are judged as being "orthodox", and penalises them for being different, it ceases to be a statement of how the admin understands things up to the present, and becomes a creed which shuts...

And you know this how?

If they don't contradict the scriptures, but are outside them, they may still be dangerous on account of where they may lead. For example, tradition in Catholicism may have seemed in the beginning to be acceptable to the church, but treated warily. However, when the reformers started...

Is your eternal life so secure that it comes without conditions?

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. ” John.3.16 Why did the Father send His Son to die? Why did He permit His Son to become human, suffer, and give His life a ransom for mankind?

That leads to a more than obvious question. How closely do your received revelations equate to scripture?

I think you are both right. Yes, there's a lot of deception in the world, folk believing they "have the Spirit" and a new revelation, yet it is another spirit altogether. On the other hand, indeed Jesus lived on earth 2000 years ago, but no-one could claim they know everything there is to...

Let us not forget Jesus's words, the meek shall inherit the earth. The earth, restored to it's Edenic beauty, is to be the eternal home of God's people, with the New Jerusalem coming down from heaven and becoming the Capital of the universe with God reigning as King. Most agree with the above...

We are a light to the world in offering the only real and effective solution to the sin problem. The life changing power of the Son of God. You guys can use government to enact laws and exact penalties for transgression if that's what you want to do. And I have no doubt that there are some...

Believe it or not, I understand your position and your concern for your nation. I really do. My concern is no different. I also mourn the loss of all the freedoms (it's similar here in Australia and possibly worse in NZ where I'm from) that we had as parents to raise our children as we see fit...

You are revealing your ignorance of not only Adventist thinking, but scriptural truth. The righteousness of God is the character of Christ. Christ, Who came to reveal the Father to mankind, offers man the same life that He received from His Father. It is as we receive Christ, we receive His...

Yes, I knew that was the Scripture being used, but it's being misused. The light we reveal to the world isn't the sun reflecting off the blades of swords and spears and the muzzles of our M16s. It isn't the light of a preemptive strike against evil doers in anticipation of the second coming...
