    God or 'Caesar'

    Of course you would think that way. Any church based on law, dogma and having a penal code attached would consider anything else heresy.

    God or 'Caesar'

    The text regarding the neglect of fellowship is counsel and warning... Not a command for worship. Not fellowshipping for a period of time does not mean a change in loyalty. And fellowshipping does not necessarily mean going to a building. You can still meet with your unbelieving neighbor in...

    Hell Fire

    Before you get so adamant, ask yourself... Or ask scripture... Where that lake of fire is.

    Hell Fire

    Jude informs us that Sodom and Gomorrah was destroyed by eternal fire. Are those cities still burning? As for Revelation 14. Can smoke still be rising after the fire goes out? Can that not be a metaphorical application meaning the repercussions of their rebelliousness is eternal? That their...

    Hillary Clinton on "Why young people are leaving church?"

    Probably just as many. But Trump isn't being asked his opinion on the matter. Neither Clinton or Trump are qualified to be heard.

    Hell Fire

    Have you considered the possibility that the reason you can't comprehend that particular concept is because you are trying to comprehend your own false perception of truth rather than truth itself? Don't you think the idea of existing in death, where one can presumably feel pain, anxiety, fear...

    Hell Fire

    Why not? KJV Isaiah 33:14-15 14 The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings? 15 He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of...

    Hillary Clinton on "Why young people are leaving church?"

    I agree with the above. We aren't called to condemn the world, but to lead them to Jesus. However, when it comes to the church, we are to call out hypocrisy and sin wherever we see it for one important reason. The church is meant to reflect Christ... How can we attract people... Sinners... In...

    Hillary Clinton on "Why young people are leaving church?"

    Salvation is found in Jesus. It is scripture that reveals Who Jesus is. Just as Jesus said. As far as the to many people thing is concerned, I am only repeating scripture. It's a wide road that leads to destruction. And just one church... One pastor... On that road is too many. Note that the...

    Here is why, as an Adventist, I believe America is in Trouble.

    From a blog written by Rob Boston in the magazine Church and State... But these were not just words. Once in office, Kennedy pursued policies that strengthened the church-state wall. He rebuffed demands from the Catholic hierarchy for taxpayer aid for parochial schools, and he backed birth...

    Here is why, as an Adventist, I believe America is in Trouble.

    I would like to touch on a topic that will impact us Seventh Day Adventists prophetically more than any other. The issue of separation/union of church and state in the United States.We are currently observing a burgeoning relationship between the church, represented by various Pastors...

    Hillary Clinton on "Why young people are leaving church?"

    No. The too many people are those whose foundations are other than scripture. Those whose lives are not being challenged or changed by truth. Those whose churches are socially oriented rather than service oriented. One third of our small congregation of 80 odd are under 25. It may surprise some...

    Hillary Clinton on "Why young people are leaving church?"

    Might I suggest that young people are leaving the church because there are too many people like Hillary in the church pretending to know what they're talking about.

    Would the US government allow anyone to interpret the US constitution?

    And you still haven't answered my questions regarding your theory on purgatory.

    Would the US government allow anyone to interpret the US constitution?

    Using the scripture references I quoted as clues, and the scripture from Peter that you were using as your "proof' for purgatory, please answer the questions.

    Would the US government allow anyone to interpret the US constitution?

    KJV 2 Peter 3:16 16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction. Peter considered Paul's letters scripture.

    Would the US government allow anyone to interpret the US constitution?

    Ephesians 3:4 Col.4:16 1 Thess.5:27 "Purgatory" Please read that portion of scripture again, carefully, and find the answers to the following questions. 1 Peter 3:18 ¶ For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in...

    Breaking News: Trump’s Symptoms Described as ‘Very Concerning’

    When is Trump going to condemn hate? When is he going to condemn racism? Why doesn't he condemn hate? He's never condemned hate. Trump hates everyone. He's racist, a womanizer, a terrible person who thrives on hatred. When is he going to condemn hate? When??? Nek minit.... I hope he dies from...

    Breaking News: Trump’s Symptoms Described as ‘Very Concerning’

    I didn't say you thought he would die, I said s very large segment of society wanted him to die. And were very forward in saying so. After coming out, that same segment went into meltdown and criticised him for endangering the world and denying all their expectations. And you seem to be agreeing...
