It is interesting that such an "insignificant group" of Christians is so often spoken of (viz., CSDAs). If it were not for our Savior's shed blood, we would have no business even being alive, much less, being talked about.
I am also amazed at the minds of professors of Christianity in these days. They either want to know "how many members" you have OR they are asking how you finance your work. These, to me, are revealing characteristics. The "love of the world" is "hostility against God."
Noah was the "Apostle" of the only true church in his day, and the whole world considered him "crazy" because he spoke contrary to the teachings of the "great men of the earth." "You know," they would say, "it can not possibly rain, as this alarmist claims!" And, ONLY eight members (world-wide) joined his boat.
Now, I am not really being sarcastic, though I may sound a little that way. I am sorry that you (in general) do not love me, for when you do not love me, you demonstrate your quality of love for my Father. If you loved my Father, surely you would love me and hear me.
I once told someone that I love Lucifer. Oh, he immediately categorized me as a Satanist. Did you know that the Father and His Son still love Lucifer? That may be as "new light" for you, but it only takes knowing those Two (see John 17:3) in order to have eternal life. When you know Them, you will love all whom They love. It is truly unfortunate that Lucifer chose not to embrace the love of my Father.
I do not condemn you who talk about me and my brethren. However, my teachings (the words of my Elder Brother) will judge you in that day when all must appear before the "judgment seat of Christ."
You can know that I love you, because you are loved by my Father and His Son. I shall never do despite unto you. May you receive YAHWEH's best, as I remain speaking contrary to the teachings of "the earth's great men."
If you wish to be my friend, then search for my email address online and write to me with a heart of love. My arms are open to all who love and obey my Father and His Son.
Christian Regards,
Walter McGill (a/k/a Pastor "Chick")
Hi Walter, years ago you had a discussion forum and I participated in an interesting discussion about Apostolic Authority and the General Conference of SDA. I had many discussions with an elderly man who spent some time there. Man, that was a long time ago back when my first internet experience was with a webTV LOL.
The first question you should aksd in who is saying this? Who made the web page? To find out you scroll all the way down and click on the link to discuss it. There you find out it is run by Eugene Schubert. If you know him, you know all you need to know.
Interesting that the extremists are exposing each other!

When they are wrong on the simple, why should you listen to them on the more complex?

One rule you can always count on: never, ever trust the critics on anything. They've proven that they cannot, and will not, tell you the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

Welcome, Pastor Chick. I hope that you enjoy this place for open dialogue among folks who agree and disagree.
I wonder how the original Pastor Chick (Chick Cartoon Tracts) would take to finding out that someone else was riding his coattails?
The link in the original post indicates that you believe the following:
That your movement is the 7th thunder of Revelation and the 144,000.
That your group has achieved complete victory over known sins.
That Christians must keep the New Moons and some of the Annual Feasts found in the Old Testament.
Are these your beliefs, or have you been misrepresented?
I take the lack of an answer would be a yes.
