AMEN!

Oh c'mon. Do you realize you just contradicted yourself? Did they cease or didn't they? You claim that the Apostles (who lived in the 1st century) celebrated Sunday; yet we are reading a 5th century account that says the Christians in two locations ceased observing Sabbath - which indicates the...

Ummm... the Clear Word isn't a translation nor does it claim to be - it's a paraphrase. In your zeal to defame SDA understandings you overlook the obvious and in doing so you lose integrity because strawman arguments are dishonorable. In the PREFACE it reads: "The Clear Word is not a...

But you neglect the first quote (by Socrates) that clearly says the churches at Rome and Alexandria CEASED their Sabbath observance. One has to be doing something in order to cease from doing it any further. I agree that 'as well as' indicates both days - that was not my contention. The point...

I don't use Bible Gateway - but thanks for the reference; I will check it out and bookmark it if I find it useful. Ummm... the word 'of' doesn't exist in Hebrew; that word is added so that the english translation flows. What the verse is saying is that Michael, THE Archangel (singular - Jude...

I fully agree! Thank you, DJConklin. :thumbsup: Presuming that text is referring to the mass is simply bad hermeneutics.

Umm... I think you may have trouble looking through preconceived notions. Either both of the above-quoted historians contradicted themselves or you aren't reading what they are actually saying. But I must admit that I do find it somewhat humorous that you happily disregard the many historical...

Ummm.... no. I think you may be confused into thinking that 'one' is translated as we would use it today. Here is the same verse using Young's Literal Translation: YLT: `And the head of the kingdom of Persia is standing over-against me twenty and one days, and lo, Michael, first of the chief...

Socrates Scholasticus (5th-century historian), wrote in A.D. 439: "Although almost all assemblies throughout the world celebrate the sacred mysteries on the Sabbath of every week, yet the Christians of Alexandria and at Rome, on account of some ancient tradition, have ceased to do this."...

I tend to think of it more as a theophany rather than 'type'. A couple other examples: 1) Josh. 5:13-15 - Jesus appearing as the "captain of the host of the Lord" (KJV) 2) Gen. 14:18 - Jesus appearing to Abram as an earthly priest I believe God is powerful enough to appear to man in any...

A point of rebuff: Was the meat that Christ ate injected with steroids or growth hormone? Were the cattle of that day fed the processed remains of other dead cows? Were any of the animals genetically altered in any way? These are wonderful reasons why eating even biblically clean meats should be...

If I may pose a possible answer to this question (and not step on the toes of RND) :) : Remember in John 4:20-22 when Jesus is speaking to the Samaratian woman at the well: "20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. 21...

I completely agree on both of your points, RND. There are most certainly satanic conspiracies afoot & the Jesuits invaded the church and we are seeing the tangible evidences of that infection.

It is good to have you here! As I posted above, this forum is not as active as it once was but we can change that. I'm in school right now so I'll be busy during the summer session but afterwards I plan on posting here more. Glad to have you aboard and HAPPY SABBATH!
