    Just to be real, I don't mind if you find something in me or my teaching or testimony that you find fault with. If I can see the biblical sense in your correction, and my teaching is not biblical but purely denominational, I will consider leaving my church, so long as there is advantage on...

    Revelation 13:12 says "everyone on earth, will be forced to worship the beast", does that mean everyone on earth needs to repent? (refuse to repent?)

    I believe you would find it easier once you understand what the beast across is in that particular section of Scripture. (As you would be aware, there are many beasts, rising up at different times and different places. ) So, first understand what this particular beast represents, get that...

    She didn't. She was a16 year old school girl, attending Miller's meetings with her family. She had no authority or right to stand up against anyone. Your misrepresentation of the circumstances is pathetic. She didn't do that either. Again, you are misrepresenting her, and those who were...

    Proof. All you got is hearsay. Like I said. The date was correct the second time, the first time an honest mathematical error. Miller didn't pick the date from a corn flakes packet. He worked it out through studying Daniel, and using protestant historicist hermeneutics, which sadly you have...

    You need to stop lying and slandering regarding the circumstances of those events, and actually read the history as to how everything transpired. You are so full of yourself boasting of your discernment and claiming you would not believe Miller. Many didn't. But their unbelief wasn't based...

    “27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. 28 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues. ” 1 Corinthians 12:27-28 KJV...

    “11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. 12 Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. 13 And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me...

    Why doesn't your "whole Bible view" include Universalism?

    Hold on. You are missing the point. What about the future security of the universe? You want the equivalent of uncontrolled immigration. Regardless of motive, intent, character, past record... you want condemned criminals to have carte Blanche access to the Holy place, to be forgiven without...

    Why doesn't your "whole Bible view" include Universalism?

    God has done everything possible short of making man obedient through compulsion. But that would be just like me instructing my laptop to say, "I love you", whenever i program it to or I turn it on. God could do that to man. Compel him to serve and obey and be good. But is that how anyone...

    I beg to differ... No-one not anointed by the Holy Spirit could write this very small example among her numerous books, articles, letters and manuscripts... certainly not a false prophet who by their very nature and purpose lead people away from God to themselves. Refer to thread, From the pen...

    You couldn't be more wrong. I don't "believe" there is a God. I know there is a God, I've met Him. The belief I have centers on His character. What He is like. How much i can trust Him to come through in difficult situations. And to confirm my experience all I need do is look at the...

    @Big Boy Johnson said... She didn't meet the biblical requirement to be a public minister Because of this she should be ignored as we know she was not anointed by the Holy Spirit and she certainly did not speak Truth I beg to differ... No-one not anointed by the Holy Spirit could write this...

    Yes, been there done that. And ageee, had some wonderful fellowship and great in depth studies that continued for hours. But we have a great commission to go into all the world and preach the gospel to every nation, kindred, tongue, and people. And the time is short and such a monumentous...

    You haven't read any of her books have you. If my denominational teachings (not practises...teachings) weren't in the Bible, I wouldn't be an adventist. That doesn't mean every single individual pastor is preaching truth. There are weeds in every garden that God has planted. But God has...

    When my local church stops preaching the truth in favour of error, then if God wills, I will find another church. There are several SDA churches within a half hour drive from home. If that isn't an option, I may join friends who are already meeting an hour away in the city giving away books...

    Why doesn't your "whole Bible view" include Universalism?

    You need to question the character of the people you believe God is bringing into the kingdom. Do you remember reading of the occasions when even prophets experienced a visible reality of God's presence? Isaiah. Daniel. The apostle John. What happened to them, examples of the best of us...

    It's one thing to call people out of sin and away from all that threatens to destroy true faith. But what are you calling them into? Calling God's people out of Babylon is one thing, but you cannot leave them in a void, or they may well become worse than in the beginning.

    You are totally correct in your observations, although I would suggest strongly that such hypocrisy is not the case with every Christian. But what you observe in the lives of many, is not evidence supportive of there being no God, but to the contrary, it is evidence that even those who...

    Oh please, a view of God like that and taught is why so many cannot believe in that God. I don't believe in that God either.

    Interesting. For years you have promoted scripture as the final authority regarding truth and error. Now all of a sudden, without even hearing what it is that she was taught, you set up yourself and others here as the final arbiters of truth...so all can test it. Mmmmm.
