There is no suggestion in that text that God has made unclean meats suitable for eating. Find me a text which refers to unclean food. You won't find one. There's no such thing. If there was something declared by God to be unclean, them it was never intended to be food. Like swine flesh. It's...

Almost. Note the question mark.

But those killings were the direct result of some of the very traditions you claim Jesus was okay with. And you won't find any example of Protestant war against entire communities such as Clovis embarked upon. I'm glad you condemn such killings. It's a pity your church didn't. On the contrary...

Let me offer you a hint. In the early 19th century in South America, Europe, and in North America and elsewhere, God raised up ordinary folk from all walks of life, unrelated to one another, now knowing one another, having had no contact or communication with one another, yet all sharing the...

While we are talking about that, let me offer an example to which no-one has the nous, energy, biblical honesty or integrity to reply on it... Except H2S. https://www.christianityboard.com/threads/the-ten-commandments-modified.53177/post-1495980

Okay, clearly you view the SDA church as a seriously dangerous denomination. I suggest in all fairness and honesty, and in your self professed desire to tell the truth without holding back, to explain to us all Adventists here why we are so dangerous, and what it is about our teachings that...

As for the current global health crisis wherein so many people are having issues with mental health... The cleaving to resentment and desire for retribution and justice is now a catch cry particularly among indigenous peoples hurt and deprived due to slavery and colonialism. Without wanting to...

In thinking about this, I can see much good sound counsel throughout scripture that would primarily benefit mental health. I can think of 2 examples off the top of my head as I write this... Do unto others... Love... tends to work both ways. People generally respond in kind to those who are kind...

I think God's promise of a longer and more fulfilling happy life is a natural result of being mentally healthy as much as spiritually healthy.

It isn't about hugs and embraces. You are deliberately minimising the actual call of the gospel. Jesus never intended that we should not be in the world. KJV John 17:9, 11-21 9 I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine. 11 And now I am...

After Jesus said to shake the dust off your feet, He reminded the disciples... KJV Matthew 10:16 16 Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. That doesn't mean we are to trust the wolves. It doesn't mean e become a part of...

Praying for your enemies, feeding them, giving them a drink of water when thirsty, isn't doing nothing. It's following Christ's example, who never lifted as much as a finger against Israel's enemies, despite the tyranny with which Rome governed.

You didn't. But you are defending church policy that authorized and encouraged and supported and did actively partake of the genocide and attempted genocide of entire people groups for the sole reason they refused to submit to the papal authority. Jesus would not are with your defending of such...

From your catechism... The Lord's Day This is the day which the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.103 The day of the Resurrection: the new creation 2174 Jesus rose from the dead "on the first day of the week."104 Because it is the "first day," the day of Christ's Resurrection...

"No man is free to choose his own religion". That is religious tyranny. "Separation of the church from the state is a problem". It is certainly a problem for the church that wants to enforce it's religion on those who would choose another. True religious liberty is not only freedom from...

I have no issue with transgenderism or gay marriage. Everyone has to right to live how they wish, so long as other's rights aren't abused in the process. What I strongly object to is the demands from gay activists for Christians, and in particular Christian churches, to deny their own religious...

Christian Dominionism. The creation of the image to the beast.

It struck me this evening that this entire thread, as far as I can tell, has focused on the authors and the various processes and even politics that contributed to 4 gospels. Correct me if I'm speaking out of turn, but what if the holy Spirit definitely inspired 4 different perspectives to...

The greatest danger for modern Christianity is a fallen American protestant church movement devoted to Christian dominionism.

The wages of sin is death. That's the wrath of God. It was never God's will that His only beloved Son should suffer at the hands of apostate priests and secular pagan idolators. Be careful, very careful what you are accusing God of having done.
