Jesus would have given His life if just one person in human history had told a 'white lie', in order for that one person to be saved. When Paul said the wages of sin is death, he didn't list any exceptions. There is no sin that is excusable, that can be entertained and retained and still be...

There's a perfectly understandable reason for the tension and the passion in relation to this topic. The Sabbath question strikes at the very heart of people's motives and cuts away at their hypocrisy and declarations of faithfulness and belief in the word of God. For millennia this has been the...

How would you respond if I were to claim that the 3rd Commandment was only for the Jews, and I want to be judged for using that Lord's name in a manner unbefitting it's sacredness according to the OT commandments?

And that's why the eye roll. No-one wants to understand the truth regarding the difference between annual feast days and the weekly Sabbath. And it has been explained fully and comprehensibly numerous times. It's unbelief in God's word that is your primary issue... Despite your pretensions to...

Absolutely. But that man can be God's vessel through which He desires to teach you. Just as Paul was God's vessel to the Bereans. And they did the right thing. But you are rejecting both. You are refusing to listen to him, and refusing to study the scriptures he references.

@charity Please note the context in which I remarked. The common and repeatedly desperate denial and rejection of the 4th Commandment by many is based on the false belief that love cannot be the motivation for observing the Sabbath. I wasn't talking about the preaching of it. As for t the...

How would you learn of God's will for you with His word as arbiter if you reject any reasonable line of inquiry fully pertinent to the topic? KJV 2 Thessalonians 2:10-12 10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that...

Why else would anyone sacrifice income, become the butt of Christian condemnation throughout the world, be tagged as a religious zealot, fanatic, and extremist by the political papal power, except he observe the Sabbath out of love?

And those things we do are born of love shed abroad from our hearts through the work of the Spirit... KJV Romans 5:5 5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. KJV Romans 13:10 10 Love worketh no ill to his...

Yes!

The issue of Salvation has always been about our sin that separates us from God. It is about God making us one again... The Atonement. That's all sin... There really is no such thing as a little sin or a big sin. The thing is, for all the world, sin has been dealt with as far as God is...

I didn't say you smoked, and my response was based on your quote from Romans 8. There is therefore no condemnation for them who are in Christ Jesus. Now of course one cannot argue with scripture, and I'm not going to try. However, using it in this context to justify others evil habits I believe...

I agree that we can focus too much on our behavior. But I don't see it spiritual temperature as a guide to behavior... Or vice versa. KJV Revelation 3:15-19 15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. 16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither...

You forget that the SDA church isn't made up solely of second or third generation Adventist's. People join our church after experiencing the emptiness and short sightedness and error ridden beliefs of evangelical, charismatic, Catholic, and mainline church religiosity. They join our church...

Thing is though our calling is to bring people to Christ through the gospel. If we are as addicted to the things of this world as are the people of this world, the only message we are offering them is, we are forgiven, so it doesn't matter what we do. God doesn't really have the power to change...

To be convicted of sin or bad habits by the holy Spirit first necessitates having the holy Spirit abiding within to begin with. Then one needs to have ears to hear. A desire, hunger, thirst for righteousness. Then absolutely, Hebrews 9:14 becomes a living reality for you.

So tobacco is fine with you. Personally, I find it embarrassing to pass by a church on a Sunday morning and see Christians lighting up the moment they get outside. But hey, all things are lawful so long as it's to the glory of God right?

Of course. And your conclusion? A micro chip? The covid vaccine? Computer bars tattooed on the forehead? And so like everyone else, you pick a "mark" out of a hat and then apply it to some imaginary future "beast"/ Antichrist/Jewish-dictator and claim, I know what the mark of the beast is! And...

Tell you what. Jesus actually took that a step further. He said to love one another as I have loved you. And inspired Paul to say to husbands, love your wives as Christ loved the church, and gave Himself for it.

People have a clear conscience over all manner of things, even Christians. But like I said in an earlier post. I don't think the smoking is the sin. It's the unbelief concerning the testimony of the scriptures concerning self care and health. Yet sin is transgression against the law. 1 John...
