I don't know about you, but I feel like a creamy rich aromatic cappuccino Brazilian with the pretty fernleaf design in cream on top with sprinkles of chocolate around about in a mug especially designed for my fat fingers and made lovingly by an experienced barista ... The trouble is I gave up...

Which nature Jesus had. Otherwise He couldn't have been tempted on all points such as we were.

Might I suggest that because Abraham believed God, as the word says, and the result was a fulfillment of promise, that the same can be said for any and all of us who believe. You said that the word says Christ takes away our sins. How many of us actually believe that sufficiently that it becomes...

Hi SbG. Ellen White has written about 20 books, while the church has put together at least a couple of dozen others drawing from her writings from the many manuscripts, letters, articles from magazines, sermons, and counsels over the 60 odd years of her ministry. So no, I don't know which one...

Mmm yeah, nah. Not convinced.

Hey @Naomi25 , lovely to see you again... Been too long. Hope all is well. I have posted previously similar thoughts to your own, and I didn't read past the first page assuming it would go in the same direction as others on this topic... Basically because very few were actually 'listening' to...

Curiously, @marks and @1stCenturyLady , the Bible actually agrees with both of you. 1CL says perfection in that passage means moral perfection and obedience to God's commandments (free from sin), and Marks says it's all about love. You are both correct. We know that if we go directly to the...

I quoted it earlier... KJV Genesis 5:3 3 And Adam ... begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth: And after 6000 of increasing moral degeneracy, today's generation is so far further removed from the image of God than was Seth as to be virtually indistinguishable...

Mmm. If he was covered in tattoos, had earrings, and smoked cigarettes and enjoyed the odd beer and was a member of a Christian rock band that would make his book more acceptable?

I've been an Adventist for since 1997. A Christian since 1976. But not once have I sacrificed a cow since being an Adventist. I did sacrifice a few, and a sheep and a pig once before I was an Adventist. The extended family always loved those barbecues and and even the odd hangi. (Look it up). So...

Not me saying it, Moses.

Oh boy. I don't think you'd be on your own there. The devil has spent the last 6000 years misrepresenting God to mankind. He knew before creation who God was, and what He was like. But didn't know Him well enough, and has since that time tried to played on people's gaps in their knowledge to...

Fortunately we are not judged according to our understanding of doctrine. However, we need to come to terms with the fact that false doctrine can directly affect the way we view God, which can impact on our faith and lead us into beliefs whereby we miss out on certain truths that help us to...

Lol. That was my first resource also. It fits have excellent information, and very detailed and well researched. One for a true scholar, not for casual readers.

I was afraid someone would ask me that. It's information I've picked up here and there but can't remember the exact source. Give me a few hours, just going back to work, and I'll see what I can find. I have read a couple of excellent books on the subject, but that's not much help to you is it

There another modern perspective of that we are seeing a lot more of... You have your truth and you are entitled to it. I have my truth and I'm sticking to it. Matthew is dangerously close I think to this very modern nonsense.

Actually, not necessarily. There are serious doubts held by scholars re the reliability of the Sanaiticus, and the Vaticanus which formed the basis for the Jesuits Douay and many of the modern versions. Dont know about the Alexandrinus one. The KJV was based on what is commonly called the...

One didn't require faith in the trinity doctrine to believe and accept the full divinity of Christ. Many teach, especially Catholics, the the trinity was formulated in order to defend the divinity of Christ. It wasn't needed.

Adam and Eve were created in God's image. Seth was born in the image of his father Adam. And every human since had been born with the hereditary defects of their forbears. KJV Genesis 5:3 3 And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and...

You think our judgement of Hitler and his cohorts as being totally depraved and fiendish is somehow wrong, that they weren't evil enough? Surely even they couldn't imagine the dream of being able to torture their victims forever... Yet we grant God the attribute of righteousness and justice for...
