Sort of like the apostles right, who all thought Jesus was setting up His earthly kingdom in their lifetime. As for Ellen White, nothing like a little hyperbole and imagination to set hearts racing.

Interesting concept that. The true remnant. Mmmm. What would the true remnant church look like do you think? What would you expect the church of the last days (considering the last days have been with us for a little over 200 years) to be doing that earlier churches weren't?

Indeed, there are many roads to paved with gold that are leading many to destruction. All the more reason that individuals such as you and Amigo and Nancy take extreme care and lots of sincere prayer in searching out truth for yourselves, not trusting in men, especially me, but urgently and...

The SDA church isn't Babylon. However, some of the leadership has signed agreements with the UN without the approval of the delegates of the church body. This is a bone of contention within the church right now. The vast majority of the membership is horrified at these developments recently...

Who are you talking about exactly? Lot of generalities and bird-shot thrown about, hoping some will stick. Who are you aiming at?

No-one should think that they can separate the law from the gospel.On many occasions the Pharisees in their hypocrisy were roundly and rightly rebuked by Jesus for thinking that by keeping the law they would be saved; on one such occasion Jesus said: Matthew 23:23 "Woe to you, scribes and...

Your theology, while expressing some truth e.g. self effort cannot save, and only the Lord can impart true righteousness, you miss an even more powerful truth. That the Lord not only can impart true righteousness, He has promised to do so for those who hunger and thirst for it. You say...

For @Nancy 's benefit however, I'm only to happy to explain. No-one else need read the following, none of it could possibly be true. Could it? I mentioned I was in the AOG for several years. Youth pastor, frequent preaching, suburban mission work. Enjoyed my time there in the smallish...

I think it's great that Amigo and David and others have been so zealous to answer for me. And because they are so perfect, and exactly where God wants them to be, they must also be totally correct in their judgment of my motive and reasons. So I suppose there's not much more to be said...

It's our relationship to the law that has changed. Nowhere in scripture is they any suggestion that the law is gone. But let me make something clear. The laws in relation to the sanctuary service are no longer Spokane to those in Christ. Those laws were fulfilled throughout His ministry...

You think Christ teaches different from the schoolmaster, the very law Christ Himself established and is a transcript of God's character? Christ is now working among His people to create in them a mindset that reflects the righteousness of the law. A mindset of love. He doesn't need to remove...

If you think Exodus has no application to Christian life and practise, then you aren't reading the NT either. “1 Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; 2 And were all baptized unto Moses in...

I hear/read on Christian forums far too frequently, that we cannot overcome sin. That we will sin every day. Till we die. If we live in the age of grace, and we do, then grace reigns. This being the case, then it is easier to do right than it is to do wrong. When sin reigned, it reigned against...

I was about to respond in similar fashion, but you've said everything that needed to be said. Excellent response.

Raised Catholic, taught in Catholic schools throughout, altar boy, and played rugby for Marist. But went to church after i left school only 3 times... two of them after I was born again, didn't recognise Jesus in anything there, never returned. Born again at 23, after a friend asked two...

We hear on Christian forums far too frequently, that we cannot overcome sin. That we will sin every day. If we live in the age of grace, and we do, then have reigns. This being the case, then it is easier to do right than it is to do wrong. When sin reigned, it reigned against grace...

Christ came to free us from sin... so you interpret that to mean we are free from the law which points out sin?

“For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. ” Malachi 3:6 KJV https://www.unfeignedbible.app/Malachi.3.6 “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. ” Hebrews 13:8 KJV https://www.unfeignedbible.app/Hebrews.13.8 What you say makes no sense...

I find it hard to believe you think you've won some sort of victory with the above. Sure, there are some grey areas like using electricity on the Sabbath, or even water. But Adventists i know do not go to restaurants on the Sabbath, or visit malls or supermarkets. My church has had 160 years...

Absolutely, thank you. And the form of republican government and the constitution of the USA, was specifically designed for people such as yourself, who choose to worship God according to the dictates of your own conscience, even though you may be a minority of one.
