. . It's not a matter of picking and choosing. The nuances of interpretation are real and genuine. We have this treasure in earthen vessels (2 Corinthians 4:7). No one (not even non-"JW"s) gets a pass on rightly dividing the word of truth (2 Timothy 2:15). . .

. . Because the inventor of evolution could only be the author of sin--which rules God out. It really doesn't take much thought to work this out. Evolution expands the secondary (after Lucifer), earthly, pointed decision to rebel against Heaven's government into an indiscriminately long...

. . Yeah, it really does—especially when God says it. .— . . . "Kill (wipe from existence)." Is that anything like "erase from existence?" Hmm, "ruin," Greek... kill ἀποκτεννόντων (apoktennontōn) Verb - Present Participle Active - Genitive Masculine Plural Strong's 615: To put to death...

. . Eventually, yes. joy: However, regarding the unfortunate, erroneous objection that the righteous dead go to heaven immediately at death, and that man, therefore, possesses an immortal spirit, is evident from Paul's statement in 2 Corinthians 5:8: The passage in its context reads as...

. . I find it hard to believe that the site owner should be blamed for not having yet found an ad provider with algorithms appropriate for the clientele. Surely no one could think he's feeding us questionable content intentionally. This kind of suspicion used to be known as evil surmising...

. . How would you go about doing this, exactly, and how do you know that others haven't? . .

. . The world has rejected His mercy, despised His love, and trampled upon His law. The wicked have passed the boundary of their probation; the Spirit of God, persistently resisted, has been at last withdrawn. Unsheltered by divine grace, they have no protection from the wicked one. Satan will...

. . What reason would he have for doing that? . . . . Reading this statement carefully, I can't see why any Christian would have a problem with it. How could anyone "receive the blessing attending it" if it were false or unauthentic? If they kept the Sabbath without believing or receiving a...

. . You're mostly preaching to the choir here. And you're conflating the relation of mere information as "convincing." The church was founded to be organized and productive in teaching, baptizing, and making disciples. Anti-denominationalism is just another fad/ism. It will pass. Most of our...

It's startling just how confused folks can get when they oppose the plain teachings of Scripture. This will be seen as arrogance, I'm sure, but denying oneself and humbling oneself continually to submit to correction and chastening of the LORD is something that folks just do not take to very...

. . Practically all of the Protestant reformers believed it. . .

. . You'd be sorely mistaken there, I'm afraid. . . . . Wow! That's quite a mouthful of speculative definition of the word "deity." . . . .

. . Is this the criteria by which we determine orthodoxy: "What benefit does it produce?" -or- "What reason can be given?" Must a man be able to explain everything for which he believes there must be a reason? Does God not hold any knowledge in reserve only to Himself? I could just as...

. . In an effort to bring this back around to my original reply to your comment (since there seems to be a pattern of dodging, hyper-criticism, insults, and ascribing motive): . . . . I'm sorry you are forced to endure reading replies that say things you didn't want to know. But how could we...

. . So, you are suggesting that I'm trying to convince you of facts that anyone who really wants to know can just look up? I don't need to be right. To God be the glory!! . .

. . So, ad hominem, then. ;) . .

. . Interestingly ironic. Seventh-day Adventists have spent billions of dollars "doing" the business of preaching and teaching the Everlasting Gospel, and building hospitals and schools around the world. A new member is baptized every 22 minutes; a new meeting house goes up every 2 1/2 hours...

. . Ah, the "C" word. So handy and hurtful. Nicely done. . .

. . Have the writings of Mrs. White done something to harm you or someone you know personally or are you indulging in the common, unfortunate, ad hominem bigotry that is so easily wielded to call down fire from heaven upon the imagined and dreaded heretics? . .

. . Is it necessary for Protestants to recognize the RCC as the one true church for them to confederate with them in the issues surrounding the prophecies of Daniel and Revelation? . .
