whilst i havent yet gone through all of your references there Rob, i did read the first one and i agree with you. A thought that comes to mind for me on this topic (not sure if you have raised it or not in your references), Mrs White was not well educated...given that she supposedly plagerised...

I would be very careful using a single bible translation (in this case KJV) for determining theology and doctrine. The claim in the reference you cited that modern Adventists in "Leviticus 26 are mistranslating heart for soul" is worrying for me because take a look at the Latin Vulgate...

I havent heard the term before...although im familiar with Desmond Fords rejection of the SDA fundamental belief surrounding Daniel 8 and 9 and the heavenly sanctuary investigative Judgment. When i read your post, i began to wonder how we reconcile improving ourselves with the apostle James'...

Im an adventist, i was raised in the SDA church, i studied in an adventist school and university, my father is an SDA minister (retired), my wife an adventist, she was raised an SDA, she is an SDA school teacher... Ellen white preached a huge range of doctrines...she is recognised outside of...

Evakool, i completely agree that we are not justified or saved by our own works. The SDA church does not believe in works based salvation...the SDA church very definitely agrees that our best efforts are nothing but filthy rags! HOWEVER... I need you to go and read Hebrews Chapters 9 and 10 (9...

Evakool I largely agree with your statement that SDA's introduce the notion of "we are the only ones who teach from the Bible"...that is true. If you don't mind, i would like to present a defense of the above because it should be fairly treated: 1. You would of course be familiar with the...

Why not? Who told you the SDA church dont accept other Christians as believer's? The SDA view is that we are part of the Christian Church...not that the Christian Church is part of the SDA denomination. Do you understand the relationship between Christianity and Denominations? There is no...

What does the bible say? Christ said... "Love the lord thy God with all thy heart, mind and soul and, love thy neighbour as thyself." (Matthew 22:37) If you catalogue the ten commandments here's what you get... 1-4 = Love God 5-10 = Love thy neighbour Go through Exodus 20 and check for...

Exactly...AND WHO ARE GODS PEOPLE in Revelation 14:12? Prove biblically that im wrong in saying that the verse defines "THE SAINTS" for us, those who: 1. keep the commandments and 2. have the faith/testimony of Jesus I am not making any of this up, its right there in front of your eyes in the...

I would make the theological claim that Acts 10 actually falsifies the O.P rather than supports it. If God, (Jehovah, Yahweh) gave specific instructions to the Israelites in the old testament concerning unclean meat, how does the O.P explain that not all modern day Christians believe Christ was...

I think the answer to your question may be found in the historical Des Ford saga. Des was convinced that he was being asked to present doctrines to facilitate a foundational change in the SDA belief in the heavenly sanctuary and 1844 doctrine. Despite Des's well known and proven academic...

We know that the apostle John was the last surviving member of Christs disciples. He was an eyewitness to Christs ministry and teachings. If the Christian church wasn't supposed to keep the Sabbath, John would not have written texts such as Rev 14.12...so as i have stated before and as is...

I would state quite emphatically that out of the two of us, i am the only one who is using appropriate references to back up my theology here. If you truly want to discuss what SDA denomination is really about, then you need to stop throwing these unreferenced allegations about. So here is...

Evakool, you statement there has nothing to do with the SDA denominations beliefs. What you are now complaining about is whether or not Gods people are to worship Him or not. The prophet Isaiah clearly outlines a promise God makes to His people who make the Sabbath a delight, and honour it by...

Evakool, Acts chapter 10 is about taking the gospel to the gentiles...How you extrapolate from that that SDA's are a religious cult??? Gods chosen people in modern day terms are usually defined as "spiritual Israel". Its metaphorical i suppose one might say, however, the principles by which...
