What is the law of sin and death that we are saved from? Is it the Ten Commandments, or is it human heredity that our nature is compelled to bring sin and death to us all through disobedience to the 10, except we be born again? What is the law of life that frees us from that other law, and how...

KJV Matthew 24:1-2 1 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. 2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be...

@amigo de christo hey my friend, there isn't much I can add to what Barney has said, but I will say this. The SDA church is made up of people, and people generally are a flawed species, and one finds them everywhere. Even in our denomination. Historically, our church has evolved. I was reading...

Why did the chicken cross the road? To chat with the idiot who lived in the other side. "Knock knock". "Who's there?" "The chicken".

The destruction of Jerusalem. The heeded warning from Jesus for His disciples to escape before that destruction. They went to Pella. Antioch. Those Jewish zealots that survived rebelled against Rome and Christians, who worshipped the same God as the Jews, and got caught up in the same melee. So...

Give any literary piece a new author, create circumstances and reasons to justify it, and then you can dispense with all manner of stuff you don't agree with on account of your belief that the "original author" couldn't have written that particular part. Well, it wasn't that text that...

I have no love for the Papacy, but I need to pull you up on the above statement. While it is true that during the dark ages, from about the 6th century on, the Catholic Church in Rome certainly produced a lot of fraudulent documents which were claimed as true and used to their advantage for...

Jesus fulfilled the law. What does that actually mean to you? Does that mean you now no longer need to? Does it mean that Jesus proved it could be done in human flesh, therefore leaving no excuse for others? Or does it simply mean that Jesus met all the legal requirements and criteria of the law...

Interested in who you are aiming your shotgun at.

So you think Jesus actually broke the Sabbath. In other words He transgressed His own 4th commandment. The context of the above statement from Jesus is in sharing gospel truth. No connection to creation. Two completely different events beating no relation to one another. What was finished? Did...

I will address David's long winded repeat of his former assertions in a little while, but in the meantime, and on a side note, I am curious. Why does the question of not believing Jesus is God , keep coming up on a discussion on Sabbath keeping?

I was raised Catholic and educated in Catholic schools. When I left school, I never returned to the church. I was born again at age 23 and joined a pentecostal church. I backslid from there after 10 years or more, and at age 43 repented, and asked the Lord to start again, and treat me as if I...

Was actually considering that verse a few days ago and talking about it with a friend. My feeble mind can't grasp the enormity of the idea encapsulated in those few words. All things work together... All the encounters one has over a life time with both good, bad, and the indifferent, and how...

I would like to know which prophecy speaks of changing the names of the authors. Who were the true authors? I have no qualms concerning the nature of the apostate church and it's numerous fables and legends and frauds to turn people away from Christ, but I can think of many many instances of...

Yes, using grace to justify disobedience is presumption.

Oh... The endless debates on what those concepts actually mean... To whom... And when... And how. Oh, and who said.

The most ancient Christian writers unanimously and consistently attribute the first of the 4 gospels to Matthew. Internal evidence indicates it was written by a converted Jew. While it is a tradition that the authors Matthew, Mark and Luke are today given attribution, it isn't without evidence...

David. I also read a book many years ago how the number 7 is intertwined throughout scripture, and how it is used to designate completeness. It was a fascinating read, and was an enlightening revelation into the complexity and intricacy with which the scriptures were inspired. Hugely encouraging...

And amen. That verse has been one of my favorites throughout all my Christian life. It has helped immensely to cope with and appreciate the power and loving faithfulness of my Father.

Agreed. There a more dangerous kind of tradition, the type of tradition that hasn't been added to scripture, but it's accepted as the Lord's will,n but not specifically taught in scripture. Once such tradition is accepted into orthodoxy...or CAT, then what scriptures there are that contradict...
