First, it's not a Jewish Sabbath. What do the scriptures say as to whose Sabbath it is? Second, no-one is suggesting, nor has anyone done so in the past, that we are only to be in Christ one day a week. Where do you get these ideas from? "These Sunday preachings"? Paul only preached to...

There is but one instance in scripture of Paul speaking to anyone on the first day of the week. And at least 50 occasions specifically mentioned of Paul speaking and/or meeting on the Sabbath, and not always in the synagogue. Considering he was the apostle to the Gentiles, it seems he was...

Please read... And think... KJV Acts 13:42-44 42 And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath. 43 Now when the congregation was broken up, many of the Jews and religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas...

...you may read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, and you will not find a single line authorizing the sanctification of Sunday. The Scriptures enforce the religious observance of Saturday, a day which we never sanctify. —The Faith of Our Fathers, by James Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop of...

Where? Where? Paul says follow the traditions he taught and practised. Not what future popes would command without the authority. Except they didn't. Show me one example on scripture of a meeting on the first day of the week for the purpose of worship and hearing the gospel. Just one.

Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy. 4th commandment. Interesting isn't it, God isn't here making the 7th day of the week holy. It's already holy, and He's commanding His people to keep it that way. How? By stopping work. By setting aside 24 hours for Him. Just Him. Whether you do this by...

Agreed. We are absolutely guaranteed eternal life, in other words our salvation is more secure and sure than tonight's sunset, because God has promised, through His word, that He will finish what He has begun. Our sure living faith in that promise is based on none other than a true understanding...

Yes, the Illuminati supporting both sides.

It's interesting that the nearly all the criteria you post above are for men, not women. Tell me. What criteria do you suppose was needful for someone to be an evangelist...a prophet... Or one sent by God for a particular purpose in the church to encourage people away from their lethargy and...

You read just one book of hers, and then tell me she is brain damaged. How about you start with Steps to Christ. It isn't that big. I'm sure your big enough to tackle the responsibility of being honest and courageous enough to make the attempt.

Wow. Look at you guys. You look and sound like a gang, bolstering each other up and giving each other encouragement to get even bolder with your objections, all without any reference whatsoever to current Adventist scholars who can explain clearly and succinctly what we believe. But no. That...

I beg to differ. In the following you defended Sunday sacredness by quoting the following scripture from 2 Thess. 2:15 ... In order to somehow prove that Sunday was not a man-made tradition inspired doctrine, but apostolic and scriptural. Now follow what I'm saying. There is no written...

you may read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, and you will not find a single line authorizing the sanctification of Sunday. The Scriptures enforce the religious observance of Saturday, a day which we never sanctify. —The Faith of Our Fathers, by James Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop of...

....continued from above... And the result of such heresy as refusing to recognise Roman authority was to be charged as heretics, and accusing such churches and their leaders of false teachings and unorthodox doctrines. These accusations were then written down as 'official' church sponsored...

That's a ludicrous defense. Paul changed the 4th Commandment by word of mouth? Seriously?

Your shallowness is becoming increasingly more apparent the more your post. Nowhere in scripture, either old testament or New, is there any evidence for a change in the 4th Commandment from the Saturday Sabbath to Sunday. And your own church admits as much. But I think you already know this...

You were correct regarding my ignorance of Christ's church. But neither was I totally familiar with the teachings of Rome. That didn't come until much more recently. And it wasn't the SDA church teachings that led me away. After my conversion , it was the priest and his response to my...

They watch for our souls by ensuring we have the best possible environment in which to grow our relationship with Jesus. It's about what Jesus instructed the church to do... Make disciples. It isn't about compelling us to do stuff their way. As I said. The authority of the church does not...

I agree with him MMOG. I was a Catholic before you were born, and spent 23 years at the feet of brothers and priests learning Catholic principles and teachings. Scott is correct. Catholics have a serious issue as to what they truly rely on regarding salvation. They may say they trust in God, or...

I am by no means a Calvinist, but couldn't agree more with some of his stances, particularly in the realm of prayer and access to the only true Mediator between God and man, Jesus Christ. Thanks for ditching the dance analogies. Eloquent and poetic though they may be .
