Disregarding the NLT business, is metanoia really that much different or unique? If memory serves me, didn't you suggest that OT and NT repentance were somehow distinct from one another? And, if so, isn't that a bit of a stretch, really? :)

I don't mean to flood you with likes but you seem to be on a roll. :p

I'll bite--No. lol

No, I judge their love for me by how many of my rules they follow. I do no unnecessary work or work for purpose of gain from sundown Friday to sundown Saturday. I got to church (when there's one open) I do group activities (nature walks, fellowship meals, special Bible studies, special speaker...

It might be important to note that I've moved on to a much more nuanced view of the "mark of the beast" than is presented in Marcussen's book. I wouldn't want to discredit it in any way, since it's sold over 40 million copies and has brought some very important information to light for millions...

Not much of an answer--"A lot." You couldn't know much about Adventism or you'd be an Adventist. lol I was converted from Southern Baptist at the age of 26. So I was not predisposed. I embraced Adventism with full self-volition and cognizance of what I was doing. It was like awakening from...

Fine, thanks. And you? Yeah I try real hard to keep the Sabbath. I'm not too big on murder or adultery, either. You know, those other commandments. They're good commandments. I like 'em. Seems like the least I could do for Jesus, after all He's done for me. :)

It's making the rounds.

The Judaizer has entered the building. ;)

It hits too close to home. Who wants to talk about stuff we need to work on?

How'd I get so lucky?

Uh, you brought it up, right? The laws that foreshadowed Christ are not compulsory. However, the ones that improve spiritual life may and, in some cases, should be observed. The laws I like??? What all do you know about the history and formation of the Seventh-day Adventist church? The members...

The number 613 (presumably the mitzvot) is a figure that bounces around in Sabbath-decrying circles, and is not even agreed upon by Jewish orthodoxy as being accurate. We all have teachers. Why don't we stop pretending that we don't? Christ said to Peter: "Feed My lambs; feed My sheep." (John...

"I know you are, but what am I?" Really? Since you don't seem to have read it, I'll quote it to you from the initial posts:

If you want to dodge the truth, that's your prerogative. About a lot of things, yes. Evidently, you have it all figured out. Not only are you superior in Biblical knowledge than my childhood Sunday School teacher (which I might actually concede), but you're smarter than the thousands and...

Not so amazing. There are mean people at church. Nice. I think we all know what this implies. By disagreeing with you, you consider me an enemy. But intimating that I am a child of the devil is okay. I see. Sorry, can't oblige your ultra-sensitive demands. I know you said "asking" but I think...

Nice dodge, but I was referring to the use of the Septuagint in particular, which you obviously ignored. And not one of the verses you list here refers to the 4th commandment.

Wrong Again, where in the Bible does it say every authoritative statement in the OT has to be repeated in the NT for it to be valid? The English names of the days of the week have nothing to do with the holiness (or lack thereof) of a day. Absolutely nothing. In many languages of the world...

All of these are referring to sabbath days, but you (and Paul) missed one delineation of time: WEEKS The word used to refer to the weekly Sabbath in the OT is sometimes translated as "week," if my memory serves me correctly. Yes, this is a pesky point of contention in Isaiah 66:23, as some...

Now, see, you talk about "embittering souls" and in the very next post you accuse someone of being unconverted. That's not nice. I get jumped on all the time about being harsh and direct, but you can scour this entire website and you will not find me once telling someone they are not saved...
