    Trying to Date but they get on my nerves

    My perspective as a single guy: I agree that maturity is important, but what one person considers to be mature another does not, and so all we can rely on is our own experiences, and what we consider to be mature by our own standards. I see nothing wrong with that. I expect the same from...

    Did the early church worship on Sabbath?

    Romans 7:25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin. Acts 17:2-3 And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and three sabbath days reasoned with them out of the scriptures, opening and alleging, that...

    How is it that the Catholic Church is evil?

    Apostasy; defection from the truth. Opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. If you go back to Daniel, there is additional information. Daniel 7:23-25 Thus he said, The...

    How is it that the Catholic Church is evil?

    Regarding the OP question, Paul wrote that apostasy would happen, and that it was already at work in his day. 2 Thessalonians 2:3-7 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition...

    Spanish Inquisiton

    What does the Bible say? Proverbs 28:18 Whoso walketh uprightly shall be saved: but he that is perverse in his ways shall fall at once. Matthew 10:22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved. Matthew 24:13 But he that shall endure unto...

    The Sabbath: God’s Eternal Sign — Creation, Covenant, and the Final Conflict

    Further... The book of Revelation. The book of Revelation is the Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave to Him. If something changed with the Sabbath, the book of Revelation would be the place to find it, but it isn't there. The book of Revelation calls for the keeping of God's...

    On page one I posted the definition of what a cult is. A system of religious veneration and devotion directed toward a particular figure or object. a relatively small group of people having religious beliefs or practices regarded by others as strange or sinister a misplaced or excessive...

    Doug Bachelor interview: Adventists believe in the rapture 1 Thess 4:13-18

    Some excerpts to think about. Ellen. As the Sabbath has become the special point of controversy throughout Christendom, and religious and secular authorities have combined to enforce the observance of the Sunday, the persistent refusal of a small minority to yield to the popular demand will...

    How many Catholic adherents? How many for each denomination? How many for ALL?

    Interesting note... I was looking at some numbers, and Seventh-day Adventists are 23 million or thereabouts. If this is true, we are much more prominent than other denominations give us credit for. We have higher numbers than many denominations. And, as was shown in another thread, we are the...

    Sabbatarianism

    Jesus addressed the issue of tradition vs the commandments of God in Matthew 15. Matthew 15:1-9 Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying, Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread. But he...

    Hello!

    Welcome to the forums! Grandma used to make black raspberry/blackberry pie every year growing up, as she had a large patch of berries behind her house. Many years of eating berries with milk and sugar, and the pies, oh the pies!

    Does Christianity support and/or teach racism?

    (see attached above for context) I grew up in the 70's and 80's in the Seventh-day Adventist church, and I can attest to the diversity. Even my own small town church was quite diverse. If you look at our church service streams on YouTube, you'll see the diversity across the board. The stark...

    You can tell a lot about a person by the books they read

    I own quite a few books that I've never gotten around to reading, because I bought them before coming back to Christianity. It's not important to me anymore to read fictional tales. History is what interests me the most now (the younger me hated history). Tuur: I also have an Ashley's Book...

    Is the Rapture credible?

    If this were true then why is it that every SDA on this forum backs what they say with scripture and not Ellen White, unless Ellen comes up in a thread? I think the evidence speaks for itself (see our forum posts). We by and large post scripture to back our position. And speaking of the...

    Jesus Magnified the Ten Commandments

    Addendum to my previous post... According to Revelation, the image of the beast is central to worship of the beast. The earth beast exercises all the power of the sea beast and causes all to worship the beast and his image. Revelation 13:14-17 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the...

    Jesus Magnified the Ten Commandments

    I can't take credit for it. It was impressed upon me as I read the thread. Minor booboo corrected also. I meant to quote John 14:15 at the end, not 1 John 3:4, but it still was on sin and the law, so I guess it would've been okay if I had not noticed it. God bless!
