Later. The cost comes not from receiving Christ, but from walking as He walked.

That is incorrect. As I explained above, Advent absolutely includes context and it fits smoothly and easily into the Lord's style of conversation and revelation. I think you need to get some basics of your own theology in order before you think you can correct Advent on issues top deep for you...

Indeed. But there are numerous promises and prophecies that speak in the first person present, the discerning reader not needing to eisegete the scriptures to know it is referring to a future time and event, not related to present circumstances. Here are some classic and obvious examples. “7...

Mmm. So His heavenly Father's house is not in heaven?

After our resurrection, we will have immortal bodies...not flesh and blood...but glorified bodies such as angels have and the Lord Himself. They are physical in that they can touch and be touched, (as the angel led Lot out of Sodom by the hand, and Jesus hugging His disciples and inviting...

Being a gift does not mean that it comes without conditions. The first and foremost is to believe in Jesus. Faith. That does not mean to believe He exists. But to trust in Him implicitly every day of your life, and act on that faith. Then we exercise that faith by dying. Not physically...

I'm a little concerned that whatever I offer will either be designated "symbolic", or a metaphor for a cherished false doctrine. Nevertheless, you asked, ,so. You are incorrect. Adventist eschatology firmly affirms Christ's second coming as the event that culminates in His taking His Bride...

Not in every case, for many throughout the world, are having dreams and visions, leading them to Christ, and many as i said above, observing the sabbath as a result. It isn't must about the law, although i know you would have it so. Where the law is available, it will reveal to the sincere...

Where in scripture does it say that all days are blessed and holy? “1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. 2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. 3 And God blessed...

Missionaries have entered into villages in utterly remote areas, untouched and previously unreached by any church, to discover the people there already observing the Sabbath. As i said previously, it's about revelation and relationship. Even though you know what the Bible says, wharf the...

You are correct. No-one. Which shows that the Sabbath can only come by revelation. And revelation only by relationship. And it is no coincidence that relationship is at the heart of Sabbath keeping.

Several here, including you, have suggested that the Ten Commandments are examples. In as much as Jesus was the personification of the law and Jesus being our example in obedience, then yes, I suppose the commandments can be examples in an indirect way, but examples of what? I would like...

Why do you presume i know nothing of Cornelius? I read the same bible stories as you. You make presumptions about others lack of understanding, then state the obvious, as if it is a reflection of great revelation, and then ask, what am I missing? What you are missing is that everyone's...

Yeah, it's a tricky situation. When the apostle John said don't love the world or the things of the world, do we take that seriously? When Christ invites us to partake of His kingdom and embrace it, do we strive to retain dual citizenship? Who's truly our king? Whom do we serve? Paul calls...

Just as it ought to be. But have you read all 101's posts? In every one he casts doubt, not that such a life as you live, and I, isn't possible, but whether such a life can be in harmony with the law of God. The scriptures testify that such a thing, harmony between the law, the gospel, and...

I'm not one that would doubt your words. There's no excuse for hypocrisy. So what I see in that anecdote is an example of where people are failing to live up to their high calling in Christ. What i don't see is any theological or biblical reason that suggests my understanding of the gospel is...

I wrote this for another thread, but think it could do with repeating here as well...

I think we will all be surprised at where others end up.

How do you know that the form of belief and faith you cling to is actually curing the disease and not just the symptoms? Is that which you cherish as 'church', faith or whatever, simply providing anti-inflammatory solutions to the consequences of sin, or is it dealing with the root cause - a...

We have Christ in the heart. Jesus taught that we were to seek God's righteousness with as much hunger and as much passion as we would His kingdom. We are to hunger and thirst for it. And there's only one way to attain it. Through the Way, the Truth, and the Life. The closer we come to...
