This was your response to Redfan on another thread. Yet your description above is exactly, to the very letter, an accurate description of your attitude toward us Adventists.

Jesus disagrees with you. KJV Luke 24:25-27 25 Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken: 26 Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory? 27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them...

You think they didn't come across teachings they didn't agree with? Not from the Apostles, but others, particularly after the apostles were gone, and even while they were still alive... KJV Jude 1:3-4 3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful...

Sorry, but you are utterly wrong and off base, and are promoting an illegitimate change to the covenant that was ratified by the blood of Christ 2 days before. No testament once ratified by the death of the testator can be altered. You are 2 days too late. Go back to the plain reading of...

Not content with a mere straw man, you have chosen to erect a rival to Nebuchadnezzar's image on the plain of Dura.

Yes. Precisely, you've got it. Just like the Bereans did after hearing the teachings of Paul. The final authority in all spiritual matters is God's word. Not what anyone else thinks the word of God says, but salvation is and always has been personal. Salvation isn't a group thing. Belonging to a...

My only challenge, your response was to double down. Jewish Sabbath. As for theologians calling it the Jewish Saturday Sabbath, that does not make me quake in my boots. The Bible doesn't say it. The Bible says it belongs to God. "My holy day". That's enough for me.

The mighty power that works through all nature and sustains all things is not, as some men of science represent, merely an all-pervading principle, an actuating energy. God is a Spirit; yet He is a personal Being; for so He has revealed Himself: "The Lord is the true God, He is the living God...

I would like to add that the authority I speak of is limited to my behaviour in church, and how my lifestyle may present itself in the public eye as a representative of that denomination, and ultimately, Jesus. That authority has no jurisdiction outside of church. It does not touch my marriage...

@Davy Here is a quote from one of the most prolific Adventist writers on the subject of salvation, righteousness by faith. This is Adventist teaching to the very core. Read carefully, and cease your constant accusations and false claims of legalism and salvation by works simply on the basis of...

So the Bereans were wrong to confirm that the scriptures agreed with Paul? You are seeking to assert that we should obey the church blindly without recourse to God's word. Is that correct?

Wow. This seems somehow uncharacteristic of you GH. Or maybe it isn't, and I just haven't recognised the true you? But the above, just wow. The biggest mish-mash of confused and self serving excuses I've seen. You guys are unbelievable. You still persist in delineating the Sabbath as Jewish...

Thank you. Was wondering myself, but have posted so often couldn't be bothered searching for such an error on my part. Certainly nothing I've ever taught or believed... Except for when I was a Pentecostal in the late 70s.

You may also notice that whatever that covenant was, it was conditional on the obedience and faithfulness of the other party.

Yes, God keeps His promises... Covenants. But covenants are two way agreements. A covenant is broken if one party reneged on their part of the bargain, regardless of the faithfulness of the other party. Israel failed on their part. Abysmally and repeatedly.

To whom it may concern, and I think that is many.... KJV Hebrews 8:6-8 6 But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises. 7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no...

That's your spin. For a law that had endured for over 1000 years, and you offer that dubious interpretation and hazy text as your evidence that God changed His law that Jesus had previously said would never change? I'm not buying it.

We are in the midst of a battle for supremacy over minds and hearts of men. Either you belong to the kingdom of this world, or the kingdom of heaven. The two principles contending for supremacy cannot coexist. You are either in one or the other. Obey God, or man. Your choice. Just don't be the...

No-one is suggesting otherwise. What we are saying is that once a Christian, one must reconcile himself with who is sovereign, who has ultimate authority over your life, and who you render obedience to. You are already saved, justified. But to what purpose? Deciding on your own terms who you...

I have no argument that your chosen "church fathers" saw Rome as the centre of their universe. Rome was the capital of the Empire until the 4th century and the centre of economic and political power, so why should they not think it the centre of religious power as well? But that mindset wasn't...
