Lol. All my life I swore black and blue that I would never set as much as a little toe on Australian soil. Thing is though I forgot to teach my kids this morsel of wisdom. They came here first and demandedi join them. That was 5 years ago. And I love it here. But I'm still a kiwi.

Speaking of Australian pastimes, here's a wee collection of freeze frames from a video of a fearless young lass with a couple of examples of Australian fauna...

Oh, and @Jay, we dunt call our boots Wellingtons. You really do have to learn the language. They are gumboots. We even have gumboot throwing competitions. Nor do we wear 'flip-flops"... And most certainly not thongs, at least not on our feet. They are called jandals. And no, we don't have thong...

I used to be Brakelite as you may be aware, and therefore didn't get the notifications for these. I think you stole that from a former NZ prime minister, Robert Muldoon. He ruled the kingdom of Aotearoa in the 70s and early 80s, was responsible for a number of highly controversial decisions...

Accusation? Barney accusing someone of something? Surely you jest.

It becomes a straw man when applied to those who don't warrant it.

Seriously? You've been asking why we have to keep a commandment? LOL.

And how long have God's servants been speaking to you regarding the 4th Commandment and you have continued to reject their counsel? They have shown you from scripture the truth, yet you rely on your own wisdom contradicting scripture. If you already reject scripture in support of Sabbath...

But you still think Sabbath observance is a "work" intended as an adjunct to Christ's sacrifice as you suggested by quoting KJV Ephesians 2:8-9 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.??

You are, without any reference or acknowledgement to our own testimony, saying that because we observe and keep the 4th commandment, our motivation for doing so it's in order to be justified. Your argument applies only to those who are seeking to be justified by their obedience. What evidence do...

He won't convict you while you have already rejected His word in favor of your imagination.

This isn't about SDA beliefs, there an entire thread devoted to that, and none of the adventists on this forum have died away from explaining exactly what our doctrines are. And you are correct, that many don't bother to ask an Adventist what their church's doctrines actually teach, not take the...

I didn't think you, of all people in this discussion, would have to resort to straw men to counter an argument. I'm disappointed.

While you may have a different understanding of these beliefs, I don't think it is your personal beliefs that are under investigation here... It is the doctrine of Mormonism. The teachings of the LDS church you belong to, and those questions I think are being asked of the church. Now you claim...

You confirm what I've been saying. It's only Sabbath deniers that use the "rest in Christ" motif to excuse themselves from the 4th commandment. You are correct. Keeping the 4th commandment doesn't come by Knowledge and understanding of the Sabbath comes only by revelation. An acceptance and...

Hi guys. Here's a copy/paste from an email I received from a ministry in the US. We've now learned that not only do nearly 700,000 Americans die of heart disease every single year because of diet and lifestyle, but also a virus can come along, exploit a diseased and dying population, and take...

They can only bring death upon the transgressor. You admit that by keeping the spirit of the law you are by default keeping the letter. Then you claim to be keeping the spirit of the 4th Commandment by "resting in Christ" but the letter is no longer applicable? I put it to you that you cannot...

In fact @Curtis I wrote an article on Galatians years ago... The Curse of the Law and the Gospel. And here.... Galatianism or Judaising

In the Galatian churches, open, unmasked error was supplanting the gospel message. Christ, the true foundation of the faith, was virtually renounced for the obsolete ceremonies of Judaism. The apostle saw that if the believers in Galatia were saved from the dangerous influences which threatened...

Not too mention, wait, I will mention, the numerous comments, commentaries, books, articles and debates throughout Adventist history on the book of hahahaha... Here's some examples.... In his letter to the Galatian believers Paul briefly reviewed the leading incidents connected with his own...
