    Why did God create Satan?

    Surely you must agree that good and evil are diametrically opposed to one another? Would you also agree that both concepts had their beginnings in 2 seperate beings, one infinite, and the created/finite? If evil therefore had a finite beginning in Lucifer/Satan, the concept of good must have...

    Why did God create Satan?

    Can't agree with that. A good biblical worldview does not necessitate evil. One doesn't need evil in order to recognise what is good. And vice versa. Neither can coexist... Darkness cannot withstand light, so they cannot balance or blend. Evil has not always existed, for it had a beginning with...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    KJV Luke 24:39 39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.

    Here is why, as an Adventist, I believe America is in Trouble.

    Perfection is attainable, but it doesn't mean what most think. A rose bud, although immature and only a third of its way into a short life, can be perfect in its own sphere. Just as it's opening to half a bloom, and full bloom a few days later. Something to seriously consider. KJV Ephesians...

    Here is why, as an Adventist, I believe America is in Trouble.

    Mmmm. Nothing so far from posters in this conversation has convinced me that America isn't in trouble. However, I could add a few more reasons I think.

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Some will respond to the above by starting the obvious, that many have claimed to be following scripture but have gone off the rails and ended up being responsible for the lives of hundreds who believed them. The thing about that is, if those hundreds had gone to scripture to confirm whether...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    I agree actually. But this discussion is about authority, and it seems to me that BoL is saying that we can go to scripture so long as we like, but if the church says something else, we gotta take the church's word over scripture. Tradition and the idea that the church decides what scripture...

    Here is why, as an Adventist, I believe America is in Trouble.

    After my acceptance of Sabbath keeping as a legitimate Christian practice over 25 years ago, and appreciating and accepting certain other doctrines that I had come to believe in which were accepted within the Adventist church, it still took me 5 years before I was willing to actually join the...

    Christian Nationalism, Zionism, and the Answer to the Impending NWO.

    Christians, even those nominally as such but politically conservative, for some time now have been transfixed and literally gob smacked by the seeming suddenness and strength of the many and varied aspects of left/liberal moral principles legislated by recent state and federal authorities in the...

    Here is why, as an Adventist, I believe America is in Trouble.

    What is more sad is that not only is that carnal mind at enmity with God and cannot obey the laws of God, but modern Christians, unlike those of years not so distant past, don't want to obey and search diligently for reasons why they shouldn't have to!!!

    Here is why, as an Adventist, I believe America is in Trouble.

    Let me tell you a little almost secret... In fact, not really a secret at all as Adventists have known this for 180 odd years, and have been more than happy to tell others all about it, the problem is that among those 'others' are some who have no real interest in the truth, and rely on...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Aaaaah, I see now what you getting at. Scripture doesn't identify who the Messiah is, the church does, and I imagine you would be using Matthew 16:16 to prove that, and therefore support the concept of 'authority'? Am I understanding you correctly?

    Here is why, as an Adventist, I believe America is in Trouble.

    Astonishing the arrogance of so many that seek to criticise others whom they have never met, from a position of ignorance concerning everything they believed in, wrote, and lived as a consequence. KJV Acts 5:34-39 34 Then stood there up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor...

    Here is why, as an Adventist, I believe America is in Trouble.

    Dear brethren in Christ...(to take Davy's example)...who wrote the following? Is it scriptural? It is impossible for us, of ourselves, to escape from the pit of sin in which we are sunken. Our hearts are evil, and we cannot change them. "Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not one."...

    April 8th Eclipse passes over 7 cities named Nineveh in USA

    By the way. My information is that there are 8 cities in the US named Ninevah. The eclipse passes over 2 of them.

    Here is why, as an Adventist, I believe America is in Trouble.

    Fine. Neither am I. Good thing that not one Adventist doctrine came from a prophet. They came from much Bible study and prayer. Yet you don't believe that either. Good advice. Now you are just flat out lying, even after I had quoted an Adventist preacher and author that completely...

    April 8th Eclipse passes over 7 cities named Nineveh in USA

    Don't worry. If anything happens, it will have nothing to do with the eclipse. More likely just stupid people panicking. Or evil people taking advantage of others' fears and insecurities. It amazes me there's so much ado over nothing. Prophetically, this eclipse is of no significance...
