. . No doubt. Should the passage of time and changes in culture be allowed to dictate our convictions and principles? Is this a fair question? . .

. . Should what our family members do or not do be allowed to influence our consciences and/or principles? Is this a fair question? . .

. (Cont'd) But this gesture of obedience proves to bring no relief to the devastation of the earth and, finally, it is discovered that a few overscrupulous outliers will not render the gesture prescribed, by reason that the world is honoring a day that God never blessed and sanctified (to...

. . @Hidden In Him, You're just too nice to argue with, doggone you - lol. But just so you're up to speed on the Adventist take on how this thing is expected to play out (in case you're not already): The time of trouble referred to in Matthew 24:21 and Daniel 12:1 is precipitated by something...

. . What's interesting to me is the way you find things that cast doubt on people's convictions "interesting." :cool: "Antichrist" simply means "in place of Christ." And the son of perdition, the mystery of lawlessness, is no ordinary antichrist. . .

. . I might add that this is surely not a hazard unique to Adventists. Or even with organized, substantial religious groups, in general. DIY creeds are all the rage right now. Although I'm sure you're already aware of that. . .

. . No, Southern Baptist. Adventist since 1990. .. .. . . It is a very distinct model of historical and eschatological study, to be sure. And the papcy/beast aspect isn't even the uniquely Adventist piece of the paradigm. . . . . It's basically the working out of what Adventists call "The...

. . Which day did Jesus and His disciples observe? Jesus was a faithful seventh-day Sabbath keeper. In fact, Scripture refers to the seventh-day Sabbath as the Lord’s Day. Jesus expected His disciples to still be keeping the Sabbath at the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 A.D., an event...

. . How should the Sabbath be kept? Jesus reserves some of His best promises for those who make God the center of their thoughts, words, and even conversation on His holy day. The Sabbath is not a day for buying, selling, farm or housework, competitive sports or business transactions. Rather...

. . . . Let's not. . .

. . How much sin is acceptable? We could do this all day, couldn't we? . .

. . WALKING AS CHRIST WALKED No man can make another walk as Christ walked if he has not the strength to walk that way. It is through faith in Jesus of Nazareth. “And His name, through faith in His name, hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know; yea, the faith which is by Him hath given...

. . When Christ, looking back over His life of thirty-three years, said that He had finished the work His Father gave Him to do, how did He sum it all up? “All things that I have heard of My Father I have made known unto you.” “If ye keep My commandments, ye shall abide in My love, even as I...

. . WADR, I can't help but wonder how I am ever to have the spiritual discernment it takes to detect eschatologically essential political conspiracies, H. I know they're out there. I just haven't ever sensed the Holy Spirit alerting me to any of them, in particular. Even the end-time scenario to...

. . I find trying to answer your questions sufficiently (to your satisfaction) to be an exercise in futility. So I just address the issue at hand loosely in context with your anti-Adventist obsession-driven remarks. I have my own concerns to deal with, without humoring those who despise God's...

. . How much murder, stealing, lying, idolatry, and adultery are acceptable? Seventh-day Adventists emphasize the Sabbath about like you'd expect in a world of over 2 billion Christians who keep all but the 4th commandment, many of whom slyly claim they only keep the summary of two. And it...
