    The Myth of saying that Jesus Christ died for all men without exception !

    I see no reason for anyone to debate that. Unless you are intimating it supports something you didn't include in post.

    So again what is growing in the Lord all about?

    KJV 1 John 1:1-4 1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life; 2 (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life...

    The Myth of saying that Jesus Christ died for all men without exception !

    There is not one Bible version I know of that doesn't say the whole world regarding 1 John 2:2. And in the parable of the 10 talents, the whole kingdom was Christ's. No-one was exempt from His rule. His love, His mercy and goodness was freely available for every man... KJV Luke 19:12, 14, 27 12...

    Why do you feel it is so hard to be good?

    Who has seen the movie, or read the book, Hacksaw Ridge ? Desmond Doss never fired a bullet, not even on a practise range, want to war and saved the lives of dozens of men under fire. And clearly with the aid of divine help. But he did the work. Because he was good? No, because he loved. And...

    So again what is growing in the Lord all about?

    I began observing Saturday as the Sabbath because that's the seventh day that God blessed and sanctified for the purpose of fellowship with Himself and one another. I didn't go to a specific sect to learn that. It's in the bible, and I believed it. You above claim to refuse to go to a sect to...

    Why do you feel it is so hard to be good?

    Sorry you have such a negative view of the church. In the world, I agree to a point, but even there you will find exceptions. And she, there are churches and individuals in churches who are selfish to the core. Unconverted. Worldly. Determined to please themselves rather than please God. Seeking...

    So again what is growing in the Lord all about?

    Depends. There are some SDAs who don't believe the Bible either. But if you believe the Bible, the least you would do is start observing the Sabbath. That would be a good start. It's always good to spend a day of God's choosing with Him.

    Why do you feel it is so hard to be good?

    Yep, and for me the greatest impediment to my growing closer to Christ is distractions. Becoming Christlike is the goal yes?

    Why do you feel it is so hard to be good?

    Even to giving your life for your enemy?

    So again what is growing in the Lord all about?

    KJV Matthew 10:34-36 34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. 35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. 36 And a man's foes shall be they...

    Why do you feel it is so hard to be good?

    I thought we were talking about being good.

    Why do you feel it is so hard to be good?

    What is hard for me can be easy for others. I'm 69yo. I still remember remarks on my report cards from school as an 8yo. Easily distracted. That hasn't changed. I will determine in the morning to do something, and all of a sudden it's late afternoon and I have to rush it, or put it off till...

    Why do you feel it is so hard to be good?

    Many would agree with you here, but if you were to quote specific Commandments then people start objecting. They believe you have become a legalist... Working your way to heaven... Trying to earn salvation.

    Was Adam Imparted Free Will From The Beginning Of Creation?

    I think it's the same thing. I don't mean critical thinking in the sense of textual criticism. That's another beast altogether. Critical thinking... As you say taking care and being diligent, means when you hear something spoken of as being 'truth', consider carefully where that truth is coming...

    Why do you feel it is so hard to be good?

    First, let's face one essential component. We must be born again... Become new creatures. That's the bottom line. Then, anything is possible. All things are possible to those who have faith. I don't think I'm good yet. But I'm certainly a heck of a lot better than I was 40 years ago. In fact, I...

    Was Adam Imparted Free Will From The Beginning Of Creation?

    Kermos would have us all believe that whatever we think, it's because Good imposed His will on us all. That no-one can think for themselves or make their own decisions. In other words, even the most vile form of lust that bounces around in the mind of man is there only because God wanted it...

    Was Adam Imparted Free Will From The Beginning Of Creation?

    Which in a sense is critical thinking. Be a sceptic when others attempt to prove something from scripture that doesn't gel with your own conscience. Nothing wrong with healthy scepticism... Especially on forums. Bereans were sceptics. Take nothing at face value especially when your eternal...

    Was Adam Imparted Free Will From The Beginning Of Creation?

    That we stop thinking? According to many on these forums, the fact that so many do not think critically any more, must be God's will.

    Yes. Must be God's will.

    Climate Religion

    Seventh Day Adventist's have been warning of global Sunday laws for 170 years, and have been constantly told that such a thing would be impossible. That no event or circumstance on earth would provoke world government and churches do such a thing. Sept. 7, 2021, 1:45 PM PDT / Source: Reuters By...
