Hi my bro, @charity put it well in her last post. Even before the foundation of the world, we, that is the entire human race, was chosen to be be saved. This to my mind has nothing to do with predestination, as most people think of predestination. God did not have to save us. He could have left...

I agree with most of what you have said here. But you are still confused I think as to what and why God made the covenant in the first place. Do you know when and to whom the first covenant was made? And more importantly, do you know why?

There are several other of your points above I could take issue with, either in part or in whole, but I have no desire to bore everyone with interminable critical essays upon points of theology understood by children, and not used as defense mechanisms for disobeying and denying God's authority...

We don't have Walmart here in Australia or NZ. my only knowledge of walmart is from the crazy you tube videos of the weird people and crazy goings on that take place there. Seems like a magnet for idiocy.

I still remember some guy announcing whatever floor you were arriving at... Each floor being a different department... toys and children's wear... Boys and Menswear... Girls and Women's... Etc etc. Does that still happen anywhere? Was that someone's first job before becoming a radio newsreader?

There's only two things I miss from the "old days". One, the smell of fresh coffee beans in the local grocery store. There were about ten different bins with exotic names and they all had an individual aroma, (and when buying a bag for mum and dad of their favorite bean, my nose found itself...

The entire concept of baptism is destroyed by the baptising of infants. Baptism, at it's core, means a voluntary death at the hands of another. It is an open and public confession of faith in a previously made decision and voluntary belief in and acceptance of the gospel. This is the cross we...

First, I read a few of your comments on those scriptures and disagree with your conclusion as to what they are conveying. Example. Conflating the old covenant with 'law' is wrong. When God made a covenant with Noah and the animals after the flood, there was no law involved. The covenant was a...

Seriously? God found fault with His own law, which Paul said was holy, just, and good?

Would I be correct in assuming you haven't actually read any of her writings, and are relying on others opinions of her?

As far as chosen is concerned, I would suggest we are all chosen. Jesus has died for every man, thus has elected all men to be saved, and in that sense, has saved the whole world. KJV 2 Corinthians 5:14-15 14 For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for...

"Man cannot live by bread only, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God doth man live". "Man cannot live by bread only, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God doth man live".

Replace the word "power' with the word "authority' because that would be a more appropriate word in context with Christ being the Lawgiver. And I agree with your premise above. I would ask you though, seeing as how you reject the fourth commandment , how is that not a rejection of the authority...

Yet is not the law a reflection of the character of God? Is that not the character we are called to? A character of righteousness? Or perhaps we are talking about different laws here.

Playing God is pride. There are some here who could do very well if they paid heed to Mrs White's counsel. Advancement in Christian experience is characterized by increasing humility, as the result of increasing knowledge. Everyone who is united to Christ will depart from all iniquity. I tell...

For those of you (and there are many) who have it set in their minds that Seventh Day Adventists are legalists, working their way into heaven, etc etc, which bigoted mindset among you has turned you into a cult, here is a quote concluding the church's Sabbath School lesson for this week. We are...

@Marymog Catholics are desirous for spiritual food and Godly approval, thus need to know from whence such things come. Jesus also was hungry for the same, which is why He went into the wilderness fasting. The devil comes to Catholics with the same temptation he offered his Creator...make this...

That's a very good point...which makes our own attitude to the law even more inexplicable considering we are supposed to be created in His image.

Yes, amazing isn't it, that God can announce His commandments with pomp, fanfare of trumpets, lightening, thunder, a voice that shook he earth and caused fear and panic in millions of people, yet all of a sudden all of that is undone, quashed, done away with without a whimper. Almost as if God...

Two points, which make the rest of your post above invalid. Frist, the early church did continue to observe the 7th day Sabbath. Acts 20:7 and 1 Corinthians 16:2 were not sacred Sunday meetings. The Acts one was what we would now call Saturday night. It was but a continuation of the Sabbath...
