The answer is simple. Doing good on the sabbath is not a violation of the law. What's the alternative? Doing good on the sabbath is a sin? You agree with the pharisees? You think Jesus and the Father are evil because they are working and violating the sabbath by doing good? “11 And he said...

We all know and understand that obeying God's commandments as a means to impress God enough to get us saved, is a futile cause. Everyone knows this. In fact, I have never met or heard anyone claim differently. I'm not sure why people keep mentioning it. Why isn't it a common practise among...

Why would you jump to the typical straw man... we are not to seek eternal life by following the ten commandments? The question was, "is work on the sabbath a violation of the Sabbath law?" The answer to that question, is it depends. If the work in question is secular money making employment...

If it were explained, we still wouldn't understand it. Can the finite understand, let alone explain, the infinite? I have long believed that Christ's Sonship is the greatest evidence for His divinity. Without it, He could not be God. He would be reduced to a created being as the JWs and...

Agree. Yet we were made in His image, and it was God Who created the entire concept of being begotten, and generational addition. Throughout John's gospel and his first letter, it is repeated numerous times... begotten Son. How else are we expected to understand that except by our own...

I agree with this. But does the church? And how can this be And still be a Son?

Cain knew murder was sin. (Gen 4:7) Noah, a preacher of righteousness, knew his contemporaries were "only evil continually". (Gen6:5). Abraham knew the law. (Gen 26:5) Joseph knew adultery was a sin against God. (Gen 39:9) Yet throughout the history of Jacob's family, there was this intense...

And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.” John 17:3 Christ refers to His Father as “the only true God”. He did not say though that He, as God’s Son, was not God, neither did He say that only His Father is God or only His Father...

The biggest scam is the one detailed in Revelation 13 wherein the antichrist is deceiving the world into worshipping himself, a proxy for the devil. That's happening now, and has been in operation throughout the last 2000 years. The second biggest scam is that taught by 95% of the church...

You are right, the Father and the Son are not the same. How could they be? Of course they ate separate individuals. Jesus didn't pray to Himselfamen He was here, as some facetiously suggest. Your main issue is in accepting the pre-incarnation begotten nature of the Son. You aren't alone...

You said I had no evidence for my beliefs. I gave you evidence. You rejected it on the pretext that it wasn't in context. I didn't quote just haphazard scriptures without any context. I quoted both old and new Testament scriptures that agreed with each other, and harmonised. I have no doubt...

Continued... Another three commentaries say the same. Note they all say that the parousia (the second coming) never includes the Father – only Christ. “In these last words not only does the grammar indicate that the inspired writer identified the Great God and the Saviour; not only is there...

Brother APAK. No evidence? Wishful thinking? You think the hundreds of thousands of Bible scholars over the centuries made it all up? And those that read their studies and checked "to see if it were so" agreed because they just wanted to? The Psalmist wrote: “Our God shall come, and shall not...

Well, you wouldn't find many Catholics actually teach that today. Since Vatican 2 the church has taken upon itself a more conciliatory role in regards to that. Words like 'separated brethren' from the more charitable, and 'rebels and renegades' from the more staunch. And no one is talking...

Another point which is actually quite obvious, but many overlook, and I'd forgotten. With regards to the identity of that which was "withholding" the rise of the antichrist, it is true that Paul spoke to the Thessalonians previously on this very topic, telling them who was specifically...

Within the Sabbath commandment are certain identifiers that none of the other commandments have. Just like a seal of a human ruler such as the President of the USA, God has placed His seal within His law. This He did in the 4th commandment revealing how much He regards not just that one...

I'm sorry, I had intended to respond to this not long after you posted it, but got distracted. You pose a very interesting conundrum, one that has been raised often over the centuries, and even given birth to sects who couldn't come to a biblical conclusion. The problem is in how people...

You are right, Miller set a date for the second coming. Thing is this though. He got the date from scripture. That is what I meant by rock solid, the date itself. It came from Daniel 8:14, so he didn't make it up. That he got the event wrong, is without doubt. Yet the date itself...

Thing is this. I know Him in Whom I believe. The Adventist church doesn't hide their doctrines . And everything associated with their beliefs are out there on numerous platforms, including dedicated Web sites run by independent ministries, all freely available for anyone to peruse and...

I wonder how serious you are in searching out the truth? Or are you only interested in firing pot shots at things you don't understand.
