It certainly has tended to contribute to that effect on myself and 20+ million (at present) others. The first beast is Babylon, corresponding to the head of gold on the man-like image in Daniel 2. The second beast is Medo-Persia, with one side weighing heavy (Persia) and more powerful, and the...

I'm afraid it has everything to do with the church-state power that thought to "change times and laws." Followers of Christ don't keep the Sabbath to be saved—they keep it because He says: "If you love me, keep my commandments." .

I worry about you, Dev. :hearteyes: .

Oh .

So, what exactly made you want to say that, Dev? .

The church is not "under" any law, because Christ is the end of the law as a means of justification and righteousness. Romans 10:4 KJV: For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. But keeping God's commandments is what matters, in contrast to ceremonial...

Continued from: Paul had earlier said to the Corinthians, "The sting of death is sin: and the strength of sin is the law." 1 Cor. 15:56. That is, if it were not for the law of God, which condemns those who violate it, there would be no sin, and hence no death in penalty for sin, "for where no...

The introduction to this passage finds Paul declaring to the Corinthian brethren: "You are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men: forasmuch as you are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living...

That's kinda weird, considering you were responding to a response I made to someone else—not you. So what's the rule? All commandments are the property of Jesus Christ, by the way. .

AI is literally everywhere and has been for decades. It's just becoming a wildy popular buzzword these days. Google, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Verizon, T-Mobile have been using it on us for years. Every time you see an ad for something you clicked on once, that's AI. Someone made a joke...

At least as much difficulty comes from the fact that you've obviously read only the CliffsNotes version of Adventist eschatology. And Adventists didn't invent the interpretation of the papacy being the fulfillment of symbolic evil elements of Daniel 7, Revelation 13, etc., by the way. That's...

No worries. It's all good. You're an AI bot. I get it now. .

@amigo de christo My mistake. I guess what I should have said is: "Please, please, oh please keep on spamming me." Poor, poor Amigo. Persecuted by Ol' Barn for righteousness's sake. What are you going to do when persecution actually comes? There won't be much I can do to comfort you if...

Haven't we been over this ground, pretty much to the letter, Amigo, like 3 months ago? You're the king of legit-turned-boogeyman-message cyber-martyrs. It's really too bad that you can't resist turning every thread topic into a personal soapbox for your diluted obsession. Where's God's...

I don't think I ever read any of Mrs. White's material until after I became an Adventist. It's kind of like icing on the cake and she always warned against using her work as primary preaching and teaching. There must be a reason why the Library Of The U.S. Congress recommends "Desire Of Ages"...

This is where a primer on common grace could help a lot. Mercy is also what keeps us alive while we are backslidden, even to the smallest degree. I don't believe in slipping in and out of a "saved" condition, but I don't believe in irrevocable security, either. Most people's god is far too small. .

I couldn't agree more. But it doesn't have to get personally offensive, as it so often does. And, as I said in another thread recently: "I know this must sound pretty obnoxious to the Catholic ear but I think that tends to be the nature of these discussions. The errors that the Catholic...

Aw, hang around awhile, Sis. .

Yeah—Everyone. .

@L.A.M.B. Yeah, everything's funny until it's infuriating. .
