    Perfection, when will we gain it?

    The wheat and the tares grow together until the harvest. Rev 14:15 And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, "Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is {perfectly} ripe."...

    The Ministry of Healing Chapter 5—Healing of the Soul Many of those who came to Christ for help had brought disease upon themselves, yet He did not refuse to heal them. And when virtue from Him entered into these souls, they were convicted of sin, and many were healed of their spiritual...

    Did the Early Church worship on Sabbath?

    Only according to your twisted, obstinate "God must chew His cabbage twice for me" logic. You see, many Christians don't require a specially worded command from their favorite part of Scripture in addition to what God has already etched in stone with His own finger, recorded in another part of...

    Was the Sabbath kept prior to the Commandments at Sinai?

    Gen 2:2-3 2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. 3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made. Exo 16:14-30 14...

    Questions for Sabbatarians

    Posting Scripture for the purpose of refuting other Scripture is what you seem to be doing. There was no reason because all 10 were in the Old Testament, which were the only Scriptures available at the time. Where is this "better command in place" found in the Old Testament, which were the...

    Questions for Sabbatarians

    Responding to a claim of argument from silence with another argument from silence doesn't make much sense. By this logic they would also have been in error not having addressed the other 9 commandments of the Decalogue. Unless God chose not to consult people who demand such warnings and...

    From the pen of Ellen White

    With the consecrated worker for God, in whatever place he may be, the Holy Spirit abides. The words spoken to the disciples are spoken also to us. The Comforter is ours as well as theirs. The Spirit furnishes the strength that sustains striving, wrestling souls in every emergency, amidst the...

    From the pen of Ellen White

    The Acts of the Apostles Chapter 5—The Gift of the Spirit When Christ gave His disciples the promise of the Spirit, He was nearing the close of His earthly ministry. He was standing in the shadow of the cross, with a full realization of the load of guilt that was to rest upon Him as the Sin...

    Yes, that is interesting. I'll have to check out the video. More of his lectures have been posted since he passed away in '17. :hearteyes: .

    Questions for Sabbatarians

    Not usually, no, since they are two different things, and often appear one without the other. The hostility to which I was referring was not from you. They're not "findings," at all—they're misapplications of Scripture and arguments from silence that have been refuted many times without ANY...

    Pentecostalism: The Glorification of the Flesh

    Forgive me, but these threats of getting to the point keep coming, and yet the show never really seems to get underway. Unless I'm overlooking the obvious promotion of the "Institutes Of The Christian Religion." :hearteyes: .

    Did the Early Church worship on Sabbath?

    This is a refreshing and welcome departure from the kind of responses I usually get in this kind of situation and my appreciation for that could hardly be understated. :hearteyes: .

    The Biblical Truth About Hell - video and transcript

    You're more than welcome! Pretty good, huh? Outside of Adventism (and probably more influential in evangelical circles), Fudge was probably the most prominent of modern-day annihilationist apologists. Our church was abuzz with news of the movie back in 2012. I think we probably more than...

    Did the Early Church worship on Sabbath?

    I can't say that I have any issue with this information except to say that the apostle Paul was, in general, anywhere and everywhere to preach the Gospel to anyone who would hear it. I doubt that it would be very difficult to substantiate this from Scripture and I'm not sure that an emphasis on...

    Did the Early Church worship on Sabbath?

    Excellent. It is an occupational hazard for me, I confess, as with many Sabbatarians to prefer to list every instance where the Sabbath appears to be being kept in the NT, as if arguing concrete evidence in a courtroom. None of these instances constitute a positive command, as Sabbath objectors...

    Did the Early Church worship on Sabbath?

    Without looking into the matter thoroughly, I would say you're probably right about this—for what my opinion is worth (no comments from the onlooking peanut gallery, please - lol)—which is why I qualified with "wherever." I was more focused, I suppose, on the Acts 13 passage recording an...

    How did Jesus keep from sinning?

    Well, I'm apt to do so now and again. Actually, I'd have to say far too frequently. :( :hearteyes: .

    Did the Early Church worship on Sabbath?

    Acts 13 42So when the Jews went out of the synagogue, the Gentiles begged that these words might be preached to them the next Sabbath. 43Now when the congregation had broken up, many of the Jews and devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas, who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue...
