    Understanding the 'Little Horn' power of Prophecy in Daniel.

    Everyone demands, and rightly so, that we Adventists ought to have scriptural backing and support for our beliefs. I couldn't agree more. Thing is this. I have posted the following a few times now on various threads on a couple of different sites, and all those who oppose us take to the...

    Understanding the 'Little Horn' power of Prophecy in Daniel.

    Does anyone else see the irony in the above statement? The papacy has deceived a 1/4 of the world population sufficiently enough that they are recognised as members. The Papacy has deceived 90% of non Catholics sufficiently that they no longer recognise who she is, and that includes most of...

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

    You have made up your own version of Adventist teaching... As I have quoted above, and as you have repeated numerous times before... And despite being shown precisely what Adventists actually do teach, still you are laboriously demanding we find evidence in scripture of your made up version...

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

    You are guessing. Not one word of the above can be substantiated from scripture. Paul never at any time pretended to be anything, let alone something other than a Christian. You are getting more and more desperate to defend the indefensible.

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

    This may surprise many, but I think you have articulated above an accurate representation of Seventh Day Adventist theology.

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

    It is true that Paul taught folk on the first day of the week, and it was a long time before it was called Sunday. But he also taught folk on other days of the week as well, including the Sabbath. If you are going to justify Sunday on account of one verse mentioning issues preaching on the first...

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

    We are going off track here. We could senselessly argue all day and night over what laws are moral and what aren't. My original statement that American Christians ought to be standing in defense of the constitution still stands. So you are Catholic? Now that I can agree with. Which begs the...

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

    The Catholic church lays claim to being the proud source of authority regarding the establishment of Sunday sacredness. In the absence of any biblical authority to the contrary, I'm inclined to agree with her. Non-Catholics keep Sunday as a day of sacred religious observance and fellowship, not...

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

    @Big Boy Johnson I'm not American, in fact I have never set foot as much as a small toe on American soil. Not even Samoa. But I know enough to understand that the constitution wasn't designed in order to uphold a democracy. You live in a republic, and the constitution was designed to support a...

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

    But aren't those activities contrary to the will and law of God? I thought the American government strive to establish laws reflecting the moral standards as expressed in scripture. Am I wrong?

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

    Dave is right. I can't perfectly obey all the commandments. In fact, I can't even obey one of them, let alone all ten. At least, not by myself. But in Christ I can do all things. By faith in God's grace and power, He will change me. God is able and willing to do whatever it takes in order to...

    Scriptures In Song - Oldies but Goodies!

    I am going to be a helpless slobbering mess in heaven for the full 1000 years, from just listening to the millions of angels singing in 7 part harmony.

    Grace. And only grace.

    From a friend. What Do You Know of Grace? Do you see God the Father running to His lost children? I really enjoy the picture attached to this message. Look at him go - such a dignified older man, draped in the fine robes and garments of his wealth, running as fast as his legs can take him...

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

    Nope. The problem we have is with those such as yourself and a not so few others who have only a superficial understanding of what we actually believe, and base your prejudices on half-baked lies, false conclusions, and ignorance. Even worse, you are told of all this but rather than reading and...

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

    The United States is the only nation in the world with a Constitution and Bill of Rights that distinctly protects the freedoms of minorities and individuals. One would think that of all people, American Christians would be at the forefront of those willing to defend it. As Benjamin Franklin...

    Life Sucks Sometimes

    This was posted on the FB page by the parent of a child at my school. So… 2024 has sure thrown me a curve ball. Turns out flying off lake mountain on my motorbike and NOT dying in January 2023 was just a practice run. So was having my hair burnt off by a really really bad hairdresser 2 years...

    Uh huh,yep, that too, along with a few other things of we wanted to make a list.
