This is good stuff, PM. I would say, though, that when a person is sealed in the proper, Biblical way there is, in fact, a 'containment' aspect. I spent the first 26 years of my life immersed in the 'eternal security' doctrine as taught by my family's Southern Baptist tradition. And I truly...

...unless what makes them special is being anti-created Christ believers, anti-pentecostal holiness commanders, anti-acts 2:38 baptizers, anti-sabbath commanders, anti-mary worshippers... Because, for some folks, it's always more fun being against something than for something. .

Sabbath rest and worship is not a 24/7 practice. I'm still waiting for someone to produce some pre-Internet teaching/preaching/writing evidence that it is. I can't find so much as a pre-Internet witness that this was a commonly held belief among lay people. It is an entirely postmodern...

It sure does! .

Without specifics, I wouldn't how to address this, Jay. :hearteyes: .

I have trouble praying when I'm asleep - lol. :hearteyes: .

It is easier to get adequate rest and worship when it's scheduled, though. There was a time not so long ago that, when the sun went down, people started winding down to go to bed. Can you imagine what a mess we'd be if God hadn't set up the circadian cycle? Scientists are discovering that...

Not likely. Bob's a real nice fella. .

The incessant arguments from silence and the human commandment for God to chew his cabbage twice just for stiff-necked, post-Calvary believers Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law...

I kinda forgot about that. My kids tell me I'm becoming quite a fossil. :tiphat: :hearteyes: .

There's not much chance of getting Sabbath rest on Sunday, though. :D :hearteyes: .

If a fella can get his business done in 5 days per week, it sounds like a pretty good deal to me. :) :hearteyes: .

It's almost clever of you to try to make the beliefs of Seventh-day Adventists completely dependent on what Mrs. White wrote about, but not quite. The problem with that is that virtually no Seventh-day Adventist ever tries to defend a denominational doctrine with anything other than Scripture...

Leviticus 23 37‘These are the feasts of the Lord which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire to the Lord, a burnt offering and a grain offering, a sacrifice and drink offerings, everything on its day— 38besides the Sabbaths of the Lord, besides your...

Yeah, why would a Christian want to help people who don't want to be Christians? Especially if they're your own children. You know the old saying: "You can lead a horse to water, but you shouldn't because he might not drink." hmmx1: .

Oops. Sorry. :( I generally wouldn't discuss it with people I see on a regular basis simply out of respect for my son's privacy. I'm known at church for caring very little about appearances for appearances' sake. :hearteyes: .

I'm down from 8 meds to 1 and when I exercise more than usual I don't even need the 1 but it was very hard work and had to be done with the oversight of my doctor. It is so important to actively enlist God's help because the usually well-meaning voices of health advice seem to pull folks in...

"Complicated" makes it sound impossible, though. "Standards in the macro; Compassion in the micro."—Dennis Praeger :hearteyes: .

Thank you

I really don't understand all of the oversimplification surrounding the treatment of LGBT people. One person will say they must be loved enough to be honest with them about their sin. What does that even mean? If my daughter who lives in my home tells me she is in a lesbian relationship: When...
