    Sunday Is The Day of Worship

    I almost fell out of my chair in shock when I first discovered that Seventh-day Adventists teach the ludicrous doctrine that near the end of time the "mark of the best" of Revelation 14 will be placed upon those who worship on Sunday instead of Saturday. :eek: Mark of the Beast

    "If you love me, you will keep my commandments."

    It’s only ridiculous to misguided teachers of the law. You are reading this verse out of context. All anyone needs to do is to read the next verse. Acts 21:25. - “As touching the Gentiles which BELIEVE, we have written and CONCLUDED that THEY observe no such thing, (Back in Acts chapter 15 this...

    "If you love me, you will keep my commandments."

    What’s to work on? There was a transitional period from the 4 gospel accounts to the book of Acts. Remember Peter’s vision in Acts 10? What about Paul the apostle to the Gentiles? This was not an overnight transition. Now go on little further into the New Testament and show me where the apostle...

    "If you love me, you will keep my commandments."

    Jesus was born under the law (Galatians 4:4) so of course He kept the sabbath. Who is Exodus 20:8-10 written to? See Exodus 20:2. Nowhere in the New Testament is the Church/the body of Christ commanded to keep the sabbath day. SDA’s mix the old and new covenants together which creates a lot of...

    "If you love me, you will keep my commandments."

    Exodus 31:12 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 13 “Speak also to the children of Israel, saying: ‘Surely My Sabbaths you shall keep, for it is a sign between Me and you throughout your generations, that you may know that I am the Lord who sanctifies you. 14 You shall keep the Sabbath...

    "If you love me, you will keep my commandments."

    That’s a lot of “I” and your hateful rants demonstrate otherwise. Judgmental, mean-spirited and self-righteous is no way to go through life son.

    "If you love me, you will keep my commandments."

    Good question. His hate filled rants are very disturbing to say the least! :eek: 1 John 4:7 - Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. 8 He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.

    "If you love me, you will keep my commandments."

    Amen! It’s so nice to see that somebody gets it.

    "If you love me, you will keep my commandments."

    Your true colors are obvious.

    "If you love me, you will keep my commandments."

    I was simply making a point through clarifications, so still no straw man. You seem to feed on contention.

    "If you love me, you will keep my commandments."

    Occasionally I do run across people on various Christian forums who teach sinless perfection so it’s not a straw man argument.

    "If you love me, you will keep my commandments."

    We can certainly "keep" Greek word "tereo" (guard, observe, watch over) the Lord's commandments (1 John 2:3), yet none of us obey His commandments flawlessly, 100% of the time. We are not sinless, without fault or defect, flawless, 100% of the time. (1 John 1:8-10) It's not about flawless or...

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    You nailed it. ;)

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    That salvation is by grace through faith and is not by works (Ephesians 2:8,9) is not hard to understand. It's just hard for many people to ACCEPT. It's a shame that human pride will not allow such people to trust in Jesus Christ as the ALL-sufficient means of their salvation. (1 Corinthians...

    "If you love me, you will keep my commandments."

    Who here claims to have flawlessly obeyed all of God’s commandments 100% of the time? Pinocchio please stand up. So what does it mean to “keep” Greek word “tereo” (guard, observe, watch over) His commandments?

    It's all about Matthew 7:23

    In Matthew 7:23, we see that Jesus NEVER knew these many people which means they were NEVER saved. They failed to do the will of the Father (Matthew 7:21) John 6:40 - For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them...

    Not sure of your salvation?

    From that website: :) Share the Gospel 7 Points for Making the Gospel Clear 1. We are all sinners. Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 2. The penalty for our sin is death, eternal separation from God forever in Hell. Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is...

    Are you going to Heaven?

    Are you trusting in Jesus Christ as the all sufficient means of your salvation? Or are you trusting in your own personal goodness as the means of your salvation?
