Mmm, that's a good question, and I would say, everything. And nothing. The entering into the body is actuated by faith. As many have mentioned, we are baptized into Christ. So that would be the formal public expression of our decision to join Christ's church. But baptism is effectually...

Many ask, what does the church need to grow and flourish in these last days? Why are so many languishing and falling away from truth? Why does the gospel no longer have the power of once did? Ellen White answers... There is need of prayer, earnest, fervent, agonizing prayer, such prayer as...

I think the answer to your original question is at Calvary. It was then that our sins were forgiven, paid for, and our sorry miserable lives redeemed. Everyone's. However, God decides in the end who is saved and who is lost. Whose names are not blotted out of the Book of Life.

I think that was a wise choice. Later creeds attempted to be too specific, going beyond what scripture actually revealed, albeit I do have one issue with the Nicene, because to me it appears to contradict itself. But I'm willing to live with it....

A painting of porcelain ruddy cheeked dolls. European dolls.. Not middle eastern. Forgive my lack of enthusiasm.

I do find in that period of expression, the extravagant clothing so obviously uncharacteristic of both the times of Jesus and the financial position held by those in the picture. Excerpt perhaps for the angel sitting at the door.

“Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little. ” Luke 7:47 KJV https://www.unfeignedbible.app/Luke.7.47

YES, but conditionally.

And bro @The Learner . Good to see you contributing so exuberantly once again. You must be feeling a lot better. Good to see.

This 'indivisibility' aspect of the Godhead is one which manifested in later centuries and today is the principle component of modern Trinitarianism. If it were true, that the members of the Godhead were inseparable and indivisible, how then could the Son die? The answer proffered by most, is...

I haven't read one book in scripture that doesn't point to Christ as Creator, Saviour, and Lord. That's good enough for me. As for "thus sayeth the Lord", it isn't the Bible that is the problem or the issue. It's our unbelief. Not everyone, despite claims to the contrary, actually believe what...

But God will have a people upon the earth to maintain the Bible, and the Bible only, as the standard of all doctrines and the basis of all reforms. The opinions of learned men, critical thinkers, the deductions of science, the creeds or decisions of ecclesiastical councils, as numerous and...

“1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life; 2 (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the...

You believe Barney? I'm asking because most, if not all, cultists are well known for lying, deceiving, obscuring the truth about their motives and life principles. So if we are a cult, it would be generally expected that not much of what we tell you would be true, and if it were true at all, it...

Your guys' constant misrepresenting of us is perplexing, considering the huge amount of resources available through SDA web sites that will inform you of the truth of what we actually believe. It seems you are afraid to actually investigate in case you may need to retract all your false...

Killing the youngest has been Satan's tactic for a long time. Remember Moses's generation? No imagination.

An earlier revelation to what God was going to do is found on nearly every page of scripture, starting with Genesis 3, continuing with Genesis 6, starkly revealed in the sanctuary, and culminating in Christ Himself. “And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering...

To believe the state acted independently of the church and without church approval even encouragement, is very hard to swallow.

I think to fully appreciate the "image", one needs to understand, without Trinitarian biases, the meaning of monogenes in the classical first century Greek sense of the word. If anyone is interested, I can offer a **comprehensive linguistic and contextual study of "monogenes"** which offers a...

An axe to grind? I think that any true doctrine that comes to light doesn't need the power of the state to convince the church of its validity. Benjamin Franklin spoke on this wise...“When a religion is good, I conceive it will support itself; and when it does not support itself, and God does...
