The issue of Salvation has always been about our sin that separates us from God. It is about God making us one again... The Atonement. That's all sin... There really is no such thing as a little sin or a big sin. The thing is, for all the world, sin has been dealt with as far as God is...

I didn't say you smoked, and my response was based on your quote from Romans 8. There is therefore no condemnation for them who are in Christ Jesus. Now of course one cannot argue with scripture, and I'm not going to try. However, using it in this context to justify others evil habits I believe...

I agree that we can focus too much on our behavior. But I don't see it spiritual temperature as a guide to behavior... Or vice versa. KJV Revelation 3:15-19 15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. 16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither...

You forget that the SDA church isn't made up solely of second or third generation Adventist's. People join our church after experiencing the emptiness and short sightedness and error ridden beliefs of evangelical, charismatic, Catholic, and mainline church religiosity. They join our church...

Thing is though our calling is to bring people to Christ through the gospel. If we are as addicted to the things of this world as are the people of this world, the only message we are offering them is, we are forgiven, so it doesn't matter what we do. God doesn't really have the power to change...

To be convicted of sin or bad habits by the holy Spirit first necessitates having the holy Spirit abiding within to begin with. Then one needs to have ears to hear. A desire, hunger, thirst for righteousness. Then absolutely, Hebrews 9:14 becomes a living reality for you.

So tobacco is fine with you. Personally, I find it embarrassing to pass by a church on a Sunday morning and see Christians lighting up the moment they get outside. But hey, all things are lawful so long as it's to the glory of God right?

Of course. And your conclusion? A micro chip? The covid vaccine? Computer bars tattooed on the forehead? And so like everyone else, you pick a "mark" out of a hat and then apply it to some imaginary future "beast"/ Antichrist/Jewish-dictator and claim, I know what the mark of the beast is! And...

Tell you what. Jesus actually took that a step further. He said to love one another as I have loved you. And inspired Paul to say to husbands, love your wives as Christ loved the church, and gave Himself for it.

People have a clear conscience over all manner of things, even Christians. But like I said in an earlier post. I don't think the smoking is the sin. It's the unbelief concerning the testimony of the scriptures concerning self care and health. Yet sin is transgression against the law. 1 John...

Yeah. I was wanting to understand more about Englishmen. So I asked a Scotsman.

Why don't you ask the beast what his mark is?

I find it not a little odd that so many anti Sabbatarians are willing to so readily decry and pour scorn on that concept, while in the very same breath are willing to admit that have no idea of who the beast actually is. I mean, if you don't have a clue to the identity of the beast, then how can...

The question, is it sin, which of answered correctly, will lead one in a wise manner as to how to encourage others to stop smoking. Smoking does kill. It is a slow form of suicide. This isn't about moralizing or condemning... It's about saving lives which is precisely what Jesus came to do. And...

I can't vouch for this... Yet.

That last block perfectly describes the counter reformation.

@CharismaticLady Regarding Antiochus... This ‘little horn’ of Daniel 8 was to exceed the greatness of all the preceding horns. Media/Persia “became great” (Daniel 8:4); The he-goat itself was to wax “very great”, (Daniel 8:8), but this little horn was to grow and become “exceeding great”.(...

@marks Okay. The acid test of the year/day principle is whether the events forecasted were fulfilled on schedule. In other words, the pragmatic test of historical fulfillment must be applied to the historicist interpretation of these prophecies. Does the historicist method pass the test...

Are you fully aware of what it is you are arguing for?? Are you fully cognizant of the nature of that which you are proposing?? Do you realize that your argument directly affects your appraisal of the nature and character of God. You, and numerous others of course who happen to agree with you...

Simply put, it's righteousness by faith. "All thy commandments are righteousness".
