Let me ask a question. Here's the commandments that all Christians agree on, although not all agree they are obliged to obey them, believe it or not. KJV Exodus 20:1-7, 12-17 1 And God spake all these words, saying, 2 I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out...

The first advent was expected by those who knew and understood the prophecies, such as Simeon and Anna. For them, the coming of Messiah was no surprise. There will be a similar expectation of Jesus at His second advent. For those who don't study and believe the prophecies, the second coming...

While predicated on love, God's Commandments also are irrevocably linked to His authority. Anything we claim today as being a commandment of God which may in appearance be loving, is worthless if the authority commanding it is other than God. Even the church issues commandments... One church has...

The truths anyone has are those that agree with scripture. Those are the ones, the only ones, that are undeniable.

But where the SDA agree with scripture, there you agree with the SDA. Yes? The trick is in willing to search to see how far they agree with scripture, before dissing the whole movement as being unworthy of your attention. I became an SDA because I searched and experienced others first... And I...

Why? Why rethink anything? Paul wandered into a synagogue one day and taught the doctrine of Jesus and the gospel. There were no doubt many others wandering the neighborhood of Greece, Asia minor, and Palestine teaching stuff also. How did the Bereans compare Paul's teachings to for example...

It has been mentioned a number of times that it is doctrine we need to critique, and not personal behavior. Yet Jesus at one time said of the Pharisees, that folk should do as they say, (obey their doctrine), but not do as they act (copy their behavior). So I think it is important we give...

Given your perspective on the way the world is, and I agree it's a mess, and considering such a state of affairs to be without doubt a complete departure from God's ways, and consequently viewed from heaven as even more revolting than we could possibly imagine, why would you think it unusual or...

You don't think a church, or denomination, or movement can act as a false prophetic movement?

Praying is our part in a relationship. It doesn't seem prudent to me to claim to have a relationship with Jesus but talk to everyone but. "Depart from Me I never knew you" is not something I ever want to hear. Our reply, "didn't you get the message from Christopher and your mum" won't cut much...

I have not known that to happen here, full credit to the more liberal and open philosophy of the way this forum is run. I've certainly experienced that elsewhere.

Totally agree with that. Members of that denomination however often abuse critics of being anti-protestant, or anti-Catholic etc etc, making the criticism personal against the members of the church as opposed to the teachings itself. The actual teachings and any justifiable criticism become...

Where in the text does it suggest that unlike other beasts of prophecy, that particular one refers to an individual? If God wants us to understand prophecy, which He does, wouldn't He be consistent in His symbolism? Now while I would agree that at the head of all those political systems there is...

After the initial embraces and love letters, then came the working out of that surrender in the political world, with the Pope using climate change as his vehicle for establishing a general submission. One thing about the leopard. It's patient. It waits for its opportunities, and takes advantage...

I'm the 1990s the Lutheran church signed the document agreeing with the Catholic Church on the meaning of justification by faith. There were several bullet points in the agreement, written in language that could be accepted by both sides, but in reality meant no change whatsoever on the Catholic...

I think this is self explanatory. Mean while America is asleep.... Protestant Leaders Declare Reunification of Churches Under the Holy See Posted on July 9, 2015 VATICAN CITY – Following more than five hundred years of separation, American and European Protestant leaders met with Pope Francis...

Hey Enoch, not off topic at all brother. We need to discuss anything that even appears to be a threat to our faith. And Islam, for many years has definitely been a threat to the faith of many, and costing many more their temporal lives to boot.

Actually I disagree with you. The reason so few can see the reasoning and logic and clear clues in prophecy, is not because God had closed it all in mystery. There is symbolism yes, which God Himself has indeed provided and had also provided the symbolic interpretations which many ignore, and...

There only one denomination that seeks and is working toward global authority over not only churches, but secular governance as well. Should we not protest and be specific concerning such a threat from an historically known protagonist? "You don't make Christians in a laboratory. A Christian is...

That was a quote from the actual forum rules
