    Avoiding an Early Death

    The thing is this. I love ice cream. Not the local made rubbish one gets here in Australia, but true NZ full creamy fruity ice cream...tip top. Trouble is to get it here doubles the cost. It is available, but it's 3 times the price of the local made. Now one might think that such stats and...

    IS JESUS GOD?

    The emphasis I was thinking about was more to do with the "knew no sin", rather than the burden of sin that was later laid upon Him as the sacrifice.

    IS JESUS GOD?

    All the elders, the rulers, and scribes of the Jews hated Jesus and utterly rejected His claims as being the Son of God. They were jealous, and sought ways to destroy Him. They saw Jesus as a threat, not just to their positions as elders of Israel, but to the nation itself. They were very...

    Only Believers are Resurrected?

    When Christ comes to take His people home, then a judgement must have already been made as to their fitness for glory correct,? The angels must already know who is saved and who is lost before they gather the elect from the 4 corners of the earth. Which means that there is a form of judgement...

    Only Believers are Resurrected?

    The Sabbath also was made by the Lord, for KJV John 1:3 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.:)

    IS JESUS GOD?

    No. It makes Him good in every sense of the word. KJV 2 Corinthians 5:21 21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

    Only Believers are Resurrected?

    While the earth was wrapped in the fire of destruction, the righteous abode safely in the Holy City. Upon those that had part in the first resurrection, the second death has no power. While God is to the wicked a consuming fire, He is to His people both a sun and a shield. {GC 673} Since it is...

    Only Believers are Resurrected?

    At the close of the thousand years the second resurrection will take place. Then the wicked will be raised from the dead and appear before God for the execution of "the judgment written." Thus the revelator, after describing the resurrection of the righteous, says: "The rest of the dead lived...

    Only Believers are Resurrected?

    During the thousand years between the first and the second resurrection the judgment of the wicked takes place. The apostle Paul points to this judgment as an event that follows the second advent. "Judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things...

    Only Believers are Resurrected?

    You need to revamp your understanding of Adventist beliefs. The millennium doctrine we teach, which you correctly understood in part, and that Ellen White endorsed, includes a post millennial resurrection of all the wicked... Hence the armies gathered around the city.

    Only Believers are Resurrected?

    I am well aware of our church's perspective on Revelation 20, and find it to be in complete harmony with scripture and prophecy. It's one of the reasons I joined the church.

    Only Believers are Resurrected?

    Aaah. You see the owls as a form of occultic brotherhood... Moloch... And ummm, that political elite gathering in the woods in California... Can't remember their name. Lol. I assure you, I am less fraternally inclined with such than I am with snakes. And I've never handled a snake. No, I just...

    Not Born with Sin Nature

    The fallen nature we are all born comes with a propensity to sin... But doesn't guarantee we sin. We sin because we choose to. Not because our nature, the devil, or God demands it.

    Not Born with Sin Nature

    In other words, we are sinners because of what we do, not because of what we are. Sin is a state of doing, not a state of being.

    Only Believers are Resurrected?

    And here I thought you were actually searching for understanding and further insight into the topic of resurrection, seeing that you said... But I was wrong. You've already made up your mind and willing to designate others to the trash bin if they dare suggest different. And the above statement...

    Assurance of salvation.

    Or all of the above

    Question

    People who are all locked into the same error will get along just fine. Not saying reform theology is error, but it's inevitable that birds of a feather flock together and as a result less friction. Yep, there's friction here. And numerous perspectives and opinions and certainly it is...

    IS JESUS GOD?

    Yet elsewhere we are told He was good in every sense of the word. So that makes Him...
