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...

Which SDA beliefs attain cult status exactly? I ask this because all of our beliefs are biblical and we have multiple "cross referenced"passages of scripture for all of them. Our beliefs are based on two fundamental principles as explained in Revelation 14:12 Here is the patience of the...

You have gone off on a bit of a trek there and completely missed a vital piece of scripture... Genesis Chapter 1 1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Genesis Chapter 2 2 Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array. 2 By the seventh day God had...

What our church believes and teaches is published in the public domain... https://www.adventist.org/beliefs/ It isnt a secret, nor does the denomination intentionally aim to hyperfocus on the Sabbath. Some doctrines become the focus because they are what make us different from other Christian...

Revelation 14:6 6Then I saw another angel flying overhead, with the eternal gospel to proclaim to those who dwell on the earth—to every nation and tribe and tongue and people 7And he said in a loud voice, “Fear God and give Him glory, because the hour of His judgment has come. Worship the One...

Righteousness by faith through grace already existed long before Israelites went into Egypt and the subsequent Exodus hundreds of years later. How do we know this? Genesis 15:6 Abram believed the LORD, and he credited it to him as righteousness. Romans 4:3 For what does the Scripture say...

I agree with everything you have said above however i diverge with you on the interpretation . I will present my theological interpretation i will also explain why I believe my interpretations below are valid (although not exhaustive): 1. The meaning of fulfilment of the law is not "doing away...

1. An individual reciting a set of rules in order to answer a question is not required to name all of them...the point was made after just a few were mentioned...this is not uncommon for any human...we do the same thing today. Thats what the term "getting the gist of it" means. 2. Im a little...
