Truthseeker84, Jesus will never let you down. Everyone has given you good advice. I am a lot older than you and I still at times have those nagging thoughts brought on by the ol' devil himself especially when we go through difficult times or the loss of loved ones. I keep a copy of 'Foot...

Just maybe this is not a church God wants you in. Pray and ask God where he wants you to go. It may be a small church that may not have many people your own age or who go to college. You never know God has a place for you. I was raised in a small church where everyone was friendly regardless...

John, Merry Christmas to you and your family and may God bless you throughout the new coming year.

God is the supreme being of this world! It is in His time frame when one dies. He created us and He can take us. Storny you made the statement 'Jesus is God', and my question to you is He God the Father or God the Son? If He is God the Father then why did He go into the mountains to pray...

Welcome Trinket, I also hope this forum will be helpful to you. I agree with AT about finding a good bible teaching church but also I would advise to also find a non-denominational bible only study. I was SDA for 30 some years and never really truely believed I belonged because I did not...

I know this is off the op but I am going to chastise both AT & Stormy One on their personal attacks at each other. If you want to do that then take it off the main forum and pm each other. We are here to learn from and help each other in the word of God not have to read the squabble between...

Mankin,I have a real hard time with the churches stance on dancing because in the bible it tells how the people danced while Jesus rode into town on a colt of an ass and Jesus never repremanded them for it. Dancing is mentioned both in the new and old testiments. It all is how one conducts...

Thank-you Restin, I am hoping if we all work together we can get rid of the sarcasm, backbiting, being judgemental, etc. towards each other. The moderators have their hands full trying to read every post (which I am sure is impossible) so why can we not police ourselves and clean up our own...

When I said an honest answer I was saying I did not want a circular answer. What I was refering to when I said studying one out of a denomination I was refering to one studying beyond text proofing which is taught by SDA's. I noticed you did not want to answer my first question but that is...

Sentipente, Did you read the dialogue I had with RC about uncalled for remarks (slamming)? You list in your profile that you are a pastor and I want to know is this how you treat the members of your church or prospective newcomers? As a pastor you are a leader and should help us to curb this...

You will do what you have to do but as I see it that those who have one foot in the church and the other foot on the way out and are seeking answers will feel they will have no place to go to seek the answers they are looking for. Maybe instead of using the word former in the heading how about...

RC, Is it your goal to have this forum set up the same as how the traditionals have theirs done? They have turned theirs for themselves only and no one else can post on their site if you are not a traditionalist. What do you hope to gain by this? I have never come on here and badgered or...

RC, I am really hoping that the progressives can make a better church. What are the goals for making a better church?

To the moderate and progressive SDA's I did not mean this as a slam against you but when I joined the church all there was was the traditional teaching of these fears. I live in a very SDA community and they still teach these. I really hope that you as moderates and progressive have done away...

RC, I have a question for you and that is were you ever an SDA? If not then you would not understand how hard it is to leave SDA and to really read the bible without text proofing as the church teaches and the influence of EGW. This is what transitioning is all about so my question is are you...

What happened to the open op? I thought the subject was on changing the purpose of this forum! How about getting back to the original subject matter. All of this other stuff being discussed has nothing to do with the this title. My understanding of this forum when it was started was to be...

Kolya, I am praying for you and your wife. May God bless you both as you journey through your rough patch right now. Isn't it wonderful to know we can curl up in God's arms and know He will see us through.

Thank-you Victor C for the help. That helped a lot but now I can not recline back in my chair but will have to sit up and pay attention haha. Sophie 7, The problem was on all pages so I took Victors suggestion and lowered the screen display size however it is a little harder on my eyes to...

I like the new set-up except that that it is longer than my screen and I am constantly having to move my bar back and forth to read every thing. Was this done for wide screen monitors? Is there a way I can resolve this problem as I have a 19in. non-wide screen monitor? Thank-youu

Sen, Are you saying that we only need nature and not the bible? If we do not need the bible then why did God inspire the writing of it?
