Proved? You have shown not one shred of evidence that the snag had been changed or abrogated. You pointed out a few quotes from the mentioned the weekly Sabbath. Have you read of the grandeur and mighty scenes that took place on Mt Sinai when the law was given? Have you read of the attention and...

But notice here that obedience is not a mere outward compliance, but the service of love. The law of God is an expression of His very nature; it is an embodiment of the great principle of love, and hence is the foundation of His government in heaven and earth. If our hearts are renewed in the...

"If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." 2 Corinthians 5:17. A person may not be able to tell the exact time or place, or trace all the chain of circumstances in the process of conversion; but this does not prove him to be...

I'm sorry. But you are testifying to precisely what I have been telling you has been adventist teaching for 160 years. Turning to Christ for righteousness. And good for you. For you, it was in harmony with the 7th commandment. I had similar issues. There is no temptation that is not common...

Acts 13:14-44.

The feet of the bear that belongs to the beast in Revelation 13 is a spiritual metaphor linked to the characteristic of the Persian Empire of Daniel's day. The beast of Revelation 13 is the antichrist of our day, sharing that same characteristic. That characteristic was seen expressed in...

Very soon, it will be Sunday keepers insisting everyone observe Sunday. And we don't insist everyone must do as we do. We simply point out what the law says. And what Jesus, and the apostles practised. And what they encouraged the gentiles to follow.

Good point. Allow me to copy and paste a post I presented many years ago in response to a similar question. 3 Spiritual laws that govern life. "For I delight in Law One: ..........The law of God. after the inward man".....(Romans 7:22) Paul has nothing but love and respect for God's law. He...

There are several very clear identifying characteristics of the final church that is to be harvested from the earth at the second coming. They are the true bride. The ones who want and have accepted the invitation to the marriage, and are made white by the blood of the Lamb. They aren't...

Why is it our conversation has turned from what is required (If ye love Me, keep My commandments), and what is possible (with God all things are possible), to my personal performance? Is that a tactic by which to avoid answering my questions? This entire conversation started by your objection...

In the face of an extremely large and influential segment of modren Christianity which proclaims relentlessly that you don't have to obey God's commandments, that the ten commandments were nailed to the Cross, and that no Christian can overcome sin and therefore are saved in sin rather than...

Far out. Why is it when people read my posts, they ignore what I've written and make absurd presumptions and straw men about what I believe. It's righteousness by FAITH. Not righteousness by obedience. FAITH. It's faith that engages with divinity and creative power that causes, motivates...

Those scriptures from Beepster are excellent evidence to the identity of Jesus. Nevertheless, if we are looking to John for reason to believe in the deity of Christ, I tend to think we should go the same route that John took. The fact that Jesus was the only begotten Son...a Son as mentioned...

They are not in the lake of fire yet. If Jesus had failed in His mission, and had sinned, this world would have forever been Satan's kingdom. But at the Cross, what Adam lost, Jesus bought back at the cost of His life. Legally, this world now belongs to Jesus. At the second coming, He...

What then is the role of a true prophet? Was it ever a role of authority? Was John the Baptist a ruler over the church? Elijah? Isaiah? Jeremiah?

Are you responding to me based on what I wrote here, or on what you perceive my denomination teaches? There are numerous critics of Adventism out there. I do honestly wonder however how many of them actually make an attempt to study our doctrines sincerely, in order to know why we believe...

If their focus was on the law, yes, you'd be correct. But our focus is always to be on Jesus. Without Him we can do nothing. The fruits of righteousness can only come by abiding in Christ. BTW. we aren't the first people to say that the result of a right relationship with Jesus is a life...

You think there is nothing in your heart you aren't aware of? Did not Jeremiah say that the heart of man is deceitful above all things? If you do not believe the Sabbath to be included in the law, that there only 9 commandments, then how closely will you really listen to the voice of conscience?

You no doubt know the expression righteousness by faith. Righteousness by faith is the core to the adventist message. Many accuse us of legalism.... such accusations come from a mindset of failure and laziness to properly bother to learn and understand what we truly teach. That's not to say...

Because we believe in progressive revelation. Truth does not come to people all in one day. Look at the Reformation as an example. It took several centuries for various reformers to chime to rediscover truths that had been obscured or trodden underfoot by an apostate papacy, and even then...
