    I beg to differ... No-one not anointed by the Holy Spirit could write this very small example among her numerous books, articles, letters and manuscripts... certainly not a false prophet who by their very nature and purpose lead people away from God to themselves. Refer to thread, From the pen...

    Not peculiar people as such

    You couldn't be more wrong. I don't "believe" there is a God. I know there is a God, I've met Him. The belief I have centers on His character. What He is like. How much i can trust Him to come through in difficult situations. And to confirm my experience all I need do is look at the...

    From the pen of Ellen White

    @Big Boy Johnson said... She didn't meet the biblical requirement to be a public minister Because of this she should be ignored as we know she was not anointed by the Holy Spirit and she certainly did not speak Truth I beg to differ... No-one not anointed by the Holy Spirit could write this...

    Yes, been there done that. And ageee, had some wonderful fellowship and great in depth studies that continued for hours. But we have a great commission to go into all the world and preach the gospel to every nation, kindred, tongue, and people. And the time is short and such a monumentous...

    You haven't read any of her books have you. If my denominational teachings (not practises...teachings) weren't in the Bible, I wouldn't be an adventist. That doesn't mean every single individual pastor is preaching truth. There are weeds in every garden that God has planted. But God has...

    When my local church stops preaching the truth in favour of error, then if God wills, I will find another church. There are several SDA churches within a half hour drive from home. If that isn't an option, I may join friends who are already meeting an hour away in the city giving away books...

    Why doesn't your "whole Bible view" include Universalism?

    You need to question the character of the people you believe God is bringing into the kingdom. Do you remember reading of the occasions when even prophets experienced a visible reality of God's presence? Isaiah. Daniel. The apostle John. What happened to them, examples of the best of us...

    It's one thing to call people out of sin and away from all that threatens to destroy true faith. But what are you calling them into? Calling God's people out of Babylon is one thing, but you cannot leave them in a void, or they may well become worse than in the beginning.

    Not peculiar people as such

    You are totally correct in your observations, although I would suggest strongly that such hypocrisy is not the case with every Christian. But what you observe in the lives of many, is not evidence supportive of there being no God, but to the contrary, it is evidence that even those who...

    Oh please, a view of God like that and taught is why so many cannot believe in that God. I don't believe in that God either.

    Interesting. For years you have promoted scripture as the final authority regarding truth and error. Now all of a sudden, without even hearing what it is that she was taught, you set up yourself and others here as the final arbiters of truth...so all can test it. Mmmmm.

    Sort of like the apostles right, who all thought Jesus was setting up His earthly kingdom in their lifetime. As for Ellen White, nothing like a little hyperbole and imagination to set hearts racing.

    Interesting concept that. The true remnant. Mmmm. What would the true remnant church look like do you think? What would you expect the church of the last days (considering the last days have been with us for a little over 200 years) to be doing that earlier churches weren't?

    Indeed, there are many roads to paved with gold that are leading many to destruction. All the more reason that individuals such as you and Amigo and Nancy take extreme care and lots of sincere prayer in searching out truth for yourselves, not trusting in men, especially me, but urgently and...

    The SDA church isn't Babylon. However, some of the leadership has signed agreements with the UN without the approval of the delegates of the church body. This is a bone of contention within the church right now. The vast majority of the membership is horrified at these developments recently...

    Who are you talking about exactly? Lot of generalities and bird-shot thrown about, hoping some will stick. Who are you aiming at?

    IF YOU ONLY FOLLOW JESUS THEN YOU MUST KEEP THE LAW

    No-one should think that they can separate the law from the gospel.On many occasions the Pharisees in their hypocrisy were roundly and rightly rebuked by Jesus for thinking that by keeping the law they would be saved; on one such occasion Jesus said: Matthew 23:23 "Woe to you, scribes and...

    IF YOU ONLY FOLLOW JESUS THEN YOU MUST KEEP THE LAW

    Your theology, while expressing some truth e.g. self effort cannot save, and only the Lord can impart true righteousness, you miss an even more powerful truth. That the Lord not only can impart true righteousness, He has promised to do so for those who hunger and thirst for it. You say...

    For @Nancy 's benefit however, I'm only to happy to explain. No-one else need read the following, none of it could possibly be true. Could it? I mentioned I was in the AOG for several years. Youth pastor, frequent preaching, suburban mission work. Enjoyed my time there in the smallish...

    I think it's great that Amigo and David and others have been so zealous to answer for me. And because they are so perfect, and exactly where God wants them to be, they must also be totally correct in their judgment of my motive and reasons. So I suppose there's not much more to be said...
