I think it's interesting to note the way that the call to "Brethren in Christ" with no quotation or qualification of any kind suggests that a "Brother in Christ" might be just anyone reading who isn't an Adventist. Neither Jew nor Greek...? .

The Bible says we can only live by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God—not just any word. I can't do the mental gymnastics you're doing here, Zig. I can't take what God has plainly said and play hopscotch with it until I've turned it into something else entirely that conforms to...

I wonder what exactly makes the "STUDY LINK" "REAL." I looked over the front page list and some of the items are questionable just from the title but, really, isn't it convenient that we now have an Internet we can use to just point people to canned slander about people we don't even know, but...

You have broken the ironimeter. This statement itself is, in fact, an exquisitely bonafide straw man argument. .

What's the point in replying to someone who pretends that certain things aren't even being said, when they actually are, and that things are being said when they actually aren't? Aside from being a patently false teacher, you're literally denying the reality that any passerby can plainly see...

You've made clear in the past your views on Adventist eschatology, Jay, so I wouldn't care to joust buy if you're really interested, the spelling out part of this video begins at roughly 27 minutes in: (Actually, more like 35 minutes in) :hearteyes: .

Amen, and Amen. There is not a stitch of genuine Adventist teaching which represents that we may, in any way, add to the substance of Christ's essential and necessary Atonement by means of our own performance. Even if we obeyed the law perfectly from the time of our conversions forward, what...

Well, I know this is a popular view with some, perhaps, but the Bible has other things to say about the matter. :) .

I think the key word/phrase in the accusation is "just like." We know that papal Rome, even now, retains many of the traits of pagan Rome, but the biggest and possibly most striking difference will be that she will, of obvious necessity, work out her will and way through another beast/nation...

Aw, I'm sorry I didn't see this sooner, Sis. Praying for you all. :hearteyes: .

The whole "shift" business makes me wonder what this verse is even supposed to have meant: James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. .

I seem to remember reading something about the dubious nature of that reference. .

And if you can't make a good argument against something that even criminals knew until the Internet messiahs came, just build a great big army of scary, violent straw man arguments. The penalty for breaking the Sabbath under the theocracy was no different than for direct violations of other...

So, then, the law of Moses was just a cruel joke on everyone until the New Testament smartened them up? .

I kinda thought Christ's point was: "You're just My Father's puppet (so to speak); these other clowns should know better." Not as scholarly an interpretation, to be sure, but... :contemplate: It's interesting to me that John is also the recounter of another time when Jewish leaders wanted...

Aw, don't whine to me about your problems. (MAN, I want one of those!) Glad to see you back! :D :waves: :hearteyes: .

Reading over all these "would/could/can" statements again, I'm thinking the god you're talking about is way too much like us to be God. "Thou thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself." :hearteyes: .

I don't see how a truly supreme being could ever be as bored as you seem to be making Him out to be. :hearteyes: .

Speaking of Bro Country... :hearteyes: .

We did do an acute, impromptu (it's normally done periodically at a special facility) replacement of a C-141 main gear axle one time. I got a good C-141 story, too. :p And for breakfast I had buckwheat groats smothered with black eyed pea/lentil/spinach chili—not attractive enough to...
