    Here is why, as an Adventist, I believe America is in Trouble.

    Thank you. For the record, I firmly believe salvation absolutely cannot be obtained by works or anything else except by faith and faith alone - no more than a death row prisoner can shine enough guard shoes or mop enough floor tiles to earn a pardon, but only by the unmerited mercy of the...

    Here is why, as an Adventist, I believe America is in Trouble.

    You’ve got a very narrow view of the truth - as thin as a joker in a casino deck, and taken together, your ideas amount to nothing more than a house of cards. Everytime we show you where your interpretations result in Scriptural disharmony while simultaneously showing you how our ideas...

    Here is why, as an Adventist, I believe America is in Trouble.

    The reason for the many inventions which seek to remove the Christian's obligation to keep the Ten Commandments can be traced to Romans 6:14 and the incorrect interpretation "under the law". It does not mean, "not obligated to obey" - it means "not under the penalty of the law". A speeding...

    Can't say I 100% agree. What Christ took away was the penalty for our lawbreaking, not our obligation to obey. Does an 11th hour pardon from the governor grant the condemned the freedom to go out and continue breaking the law? The same law that condemned him before will condemn him again if he...

    Another Reason Why "Babylon" Is A Prophetic Symbol For "Religious Confusion"

    The WORD, brother. The ONLY sure foundation. The longer I'm on this planet, the more I see how fake everything is.

    Thanks, friend. God indeed expects us to perform such commandments as were not "shadows of things to come" (the "shadows" were nailed to the Cross) which is our "reasonable service". However, since the carnal mind can't perform them (Romans 8:7 KJV), we need Christ to come into our hearts and...

    Here is why, as an Adventist, I believe America is in Trouble.

    It's very difficult to reach people because change and human nature are often at odds with each other. The issue is this: the idea of fully surrendering one's thoughts, words, and actions to God is as unwelcome as when Christ stated the necessity of this when He told them everyone must eat His...

    Here is why, as an Adventist, I believe America is in Trouble.

    Not observance to commandments, but observance to God's directive to surrender our hearts. At that moment, Jesus enters our heart and enables us to "observe" the commandments, without Him we can't keep them (Romans 8:7 KJV).

    Here is why, as an Adventist, I believe America is in Trouble.

    Amen. There's no other way to interpret Daniel and Revelation except by Protestant Historicism. Unfortunately, Christians today prefer either Jesuit Preterism so that tribulation can be safely relocated to the past, or Jesuit "Left Behind" Futurism so Jesus can sneak into town and sneak out with...

    Here is why, as an Adventist, I believe America is in Trouble.

    God could have granted them judges - and endured their ceaseless grumbling for being denied a king. But, He granted them their wish after warning them of what would happen as a lesson in why we ought not choose imperfect human rulers prone to injustice and exploitation over the perfect...

    Here is why, as an Adventist, I believe America is in Trouble.

    "Sin is the transgression of the law" and "the soul that sinneth, it shall die". Breaking the 4th commandment makes you a "sinner". I showed you what it actually says. The Peshitta does a better job with this verse than does the KJV, and if not for over 1,000 years of papal "Sunday sacredness"...

    The prophetic timeline has only one applicable interpretation: Protestant Historicism. Babylon, MP, Greece, Rome, Papacy. What's your timeline?

    Here is why, as an Adventist, I believe America is in Trouble.

    The theocracy was rejected when the people asked Samuel to give them a king so they could be like the other nations. It's a commonly held, Biblically accurate position.

    Here is why, as an Adventist, I believe America is in Trouble.

    We're commanded to work the first six days of the week. So, not only are you demanding God grant you "rest" while trampling on the Sabbath, you also want Him to grant you PTO hours for the rest of the week? I never understand why people think they can bargain with God over the terms of their...

    Here is why, as an Adventist, I believe America is in Trouble.

    Amazing how so many people form opinions about prophecy when their ignorance of church history disqualifies them from contemplating the after church potluck menu! I mean, the accusation of the Archbishop of Reggio should arrest the attention of every single non-catholic on the planet and cause...

    Which is why we have to not only be certain who the Beast is, but we have to examine to see if the Beast ever attempted to conceal its identity via smokescreens and diversionary tactics. The Protestant Reformation correctly identified the papacy as the Beast via irrefutable Biblical proofs, and...

    Here is why, as an Adventist, I believe America is in Trouble.

    So, we're to understand that the "beast" is symbolic for a kingdom, the "dragon" is symbolic for Satan's kingdom............but "false prophet" refers to a literal person? Have you heard of the "charismatic movement" in the Evangelical world that's the driving force behind the Ecumenical...
