Your welcome. Blessings be unto you in the Lord.

The thing is that I don’t believe Christ calls us to become politicians to change the laws for the better to help people. Also, protesting or speaking out against it really does not help that much, either. People are still gonna shoot each other no matter what anyone says. The situation is...

I believe there should be crazy strict laws for people to have guns here in America. A person should be of good moral standing, take a psych evaluation under a lie detector, and get referrals from friends and family (that they are of sound mind and character). In fact, they should talk about...

Your not getting it. GOD the Father used Jesus and His disciples as an example of Non-Violence to accomplish the greatest event in human history and that was the redemption of all mankind on the cross so that salvation could be offered to all who freely accept it. Yes, Jesus rebuked Peter...

I believe the Bible teaches… #1. God's Grace Through Faith in Jesus Christ as the Savior (Initial Salvation, and or Foundational Salvation). (The 1st synergistic work of GOD done in a believer). Being saved by God's grace through faith in Jesus as ones Savior is the entrance gate to...

@Cross8527 (Continued from previous post): #5. Punishment of sins in earthly courts vs. a sin that leads to hellfire (Matthew 5:22). Jesus described to us the difference between death-sins vs. non-death sins in Matthew 5:22. “But I say to you that everyone who continues to be angry with his...

I believe the Bible teaches that many sins can condemn us if they are not confessed and or forsaken (See: 1 John 1:9, 1 John 2:1, 1 John 1:7, Proverbs 28:13). But there are sins that do not lead unto spiritual death, though. So I see Sinless Perfection as putting away sins such as sins that do...

I only mention it because I had my fair share of overdose of that word pushed upon me repeatedly whenever I talk with SDA members on another forum. Anyways, don’t take my word for the necessity of Sabbath keeping as being unbiblical, but check out what an ex Adventist has to say about it. See...

Whatever boundary line God talks to our heart in what we define as “endlessly fighting.” We shouldn’t cross that line. Well, that is if you believe Titus 3:9. I usually go for 2-3 write ups and then leave them be. For if we don’t set a limit, then it will become an endless debate. The best...

I see the pearls before swine portion of Scripture as in reference to not giving precious deep truths to folks like atheists who will only mock what you say as a means to destroy your faith. Swine is a picture of an unbeliever, and not a believer.

I just don’t think it is going to be profitable or my argument is going to convince you (Especially if you are set in your ways involving your belief). I will just give you the plain meaning of what the Bible says without any Sabbatarian bias or glasses. But I am not sure you are willing to...

@Titus Okay. Back on topic. John 18:36 says: “Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.” Jesus says in this above verse that if His Kingdom...

@Titus If God’s Word tells us to not strive (endlessly fight) against matters of the Old Law, then that’s what it means. If you don’t like it, take it up with God. This does not apply to fighting or contending for the faith on other matters.

I believe that we can rebuke them one or two times, but to keep endlessly arguing with them over their keeping the Old Law is not what is in view.

After thinking it over more, I now believe Non-Resistance may not be the best way to describe my position of what I believe the New Covenant teaches. I believe the terms… “Temporal Non-Violence” or “New Covenant Non-Violence” would be more accurate to expressing what I believe the Bible says.

I had discussions with SDA’s before. Whenever they talk it is Sabbath this, and Sabbath that. They make it all about the Sabbath when it is no longer a command that is in effect (Colossians 2:14-17). But this Facebook Page is a good source for exposing some of the silly things in the SDA...

It’s nice we can agree on this topic. While that is a good term (love your neighbor as yourself), I was thinking the following terms would bring more clarity on the topic here. #1. Temporal Non-Violence or #2. New Covenant Non-Violence. Violence is defined in the dictionary as: Behavior...

No. I have read up on SDA’s and their beliefs. Some (Maybe not all) say you will not eventually be saved if you don’t keep the Sabbath. Here are two source links: Link #1: Do Seventh Day Adventists believe people who attend church on Sunday will go to hell? Link #2: The Sabbath ~ and...

Again, there is a difference between Pacifism and Nonresistance. Notice definition #1 below in the 1913 Webster’s Dictionary. It says that the doctrine that ALL VIOLENCE is unjustifiable. I don’t believe that because I believe God commanded the Israelites to destroy their enemies, and I...

Not a false accusation. You threatened me, and you did not suggest you were joking. I actually thought you might be crazy enough to do what you said. Then you turned around the next day and said you would never do that. So this means you were lying. Your words were not true to what you...
