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

    Those that receive the mark cannot receive the seal of God, and vice versa. The seal is the Father's name... Which is Good character. God's commandments are His character... His righteousness... You are sealed in the mind, conscience, by character which is reflected in obedience to God's...

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

    The text actually says "in the forehead". Not on. What is in the forehead? The conscience. If you conscientiously receive the mark, you are doing so from religious conviction. You are convinced it's the righteous thing to do. The hand in scripture is used metaphorically for work. If you receive...

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

    And there's the rub. There are only two parties in the world at the second coming. Those who keep the commandments of God and have the faith of Jesus, and those who don't. Those that don't, who worship the beast and it's image, obviously are keeping the commandments of man in accordance to the...

    Of course. But cash won't be available to those who refuse the mark, or they would be able to buy and sell.

    KJV Revelation 15:5-8 5 And after that I looked, and, behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened: 6 And the seven angels came out of the temple, having the seven plagues, clothed in pure and white linen, and having their breasts girded with golden girdles. 7 And...

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

    You aren't listening. I didn't deny that Ellen White spoke of the New Jerusalem. But I will ask again, and for this you need to study your Bible. Where was the city that Ellen White was referring to? Where was the city when John saw it? It's a seriously important difference, particularly when...

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

    What y'all haven't accomplished in your attacks against my church is reduced in one iota the real ongoing threat against American republicanism in the religious evangelical right pursuing political power and looking to the state as an ally in establishing righteousness and a Christian ethos in...

    Another question. Do you think Ellen White was so biblically illiterate she didn't notice the difference? Or for that matter, anyone since then?

    Well, that was a magnificent attempt, and likely either yourself, or those you quoted it from, thought this a coup de gras to the ministry of Ellen White. You should have asked an Adventist, is this true, before using it as a weapon against them. Question. Where was the city that did not have a...

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

    Yet that is what is coming, a cashless society whereby authorities can switch you off with the press of a button, and it will be impossible for you to buy and sell. Unless you have the mark. But I get where you are coming from... Your narrow vision restricts the mark to a tattoo or stamp or...

    So the most dire warning in scripture against offending God is in being involved in a digital currency system? And tell us... Who is this beast you speak of?

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

    I must admit, going to secular wiki to discover what we teach is somewhat dodgy don't you think? Do you have any idea how many Adventist web sites there are with every one of our doctrines fully explained with references to scripture in support? Do you know we don't need Ellen White to justify...

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

    And I said you were wrong, that is what you are avoiding. That is not what seventh day adventists teach. Do some more reading of our actual materials... There's plenty available... And delve a little deeper than superficial comments from our opponents. Sunday sacredness is not the mark of the...

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

    Okay, first I understand the reticence in accepting Ellen White. That was a hurdle for me also coming out of Catholic then pentecostal churches to become an Adventist. On the specific matter you mentioned, I put it to you that the Son was never equal to His Father in all things. What things the...

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

    Not avoiding anything. You have simply repeated that the SDA church is wrong in their doctrine. I told you the reason for your conclusion is based on a misunderstanding of what we actually believe. You expressed that misunderstanding twice. Not what am I avoiding again?

    As I said. You confirm your error.

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

    I think this will offer some real insight into where we're coming from, and to what is actually taking place in the world as we speak. All that is taking place today fits perfectly into the Adventist eschatological framework that was based on scripture and established in our teachings 120-160...

    With respect, if that's your conclusion, it's based on your misunderstanding of what we teach.

    Who Is Michael, The Archangel?

    Hi Nancy. Because Michael is named archangel, literally chief of the angels, it doesn't necessarily follow that he is a created angel. Horror of horrors, Biden is the commander in chief of all the armed forces in America. Does that mean he is a soldier?
