  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Warning To My Adventist Friends.

Horrible, absolutely horrible, quit smoking tips and a healthy lifestyle...what other ills will come from the Adventists???
ROFL--you are such a hoot Cat!!! rofl.

But you know what? If left up to certain factions within the SDA church, 90% of the SDA teachings would go the way of the dinosaur!
Our undiluted message is an absolute BLESSING to this world and yet so many just want to find fault and try to ruin what Jesus has established.

Also what I find completely hilarious is that Doug Batchelor NEVER tries to hide the fact that AF is SDA. So this MacGregor guy is full of you know what when he tries to say that those ministries are acting 'incognito'! What a joke he is.

We'z gonna burn fo'ever fo' that kind'a blasphemy! ^_^

All I've got to say is this. If CF doesn't what us here that's fine. That just means we're one step closer to the appearing of our Lord.

Mat 24:9
Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.

Mark 13:13
And ye shall be hated of all [men] for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

Luke 21:17
And ye shall be hated of all [men] for my name's sake.

Luke 21:28
And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

Don't these prophesies and promises apply to all Christians, not just Adventists? :)

To those who claim to be Christian but aren't, that is, do not display the atributes of a Christian? No. They will be part of the persecuting.

But in general, yes, all that claim the name of Christ, to abide with Him and do the will of the Father, then yes no matter what denomination they are from these verses apply.

Why thank-you,HonnortheSabbath! It should be of interest to some, Adventists are used in health studies. I know one was cited in "Prevention" magazine, and the Adventist hospital in California has consistently participated in ground breaking treatments etc.

Adventism is a cult!

A "cult" for God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit!
<snip>
I keep wondering who made this Martin guy the guru of what the bible says and how he can pass judgment of the faith of others.

I mean--lol--Martin was part of the harlot's who have accepted the Babylonian world religion. His theology was as biblically wrong as one could get and yet he writes a book and everyone (including the dunder-heads from our church) bowed down to him. What a SHAM!

lol--how true RND. As a matter of fact, if Walter Martin had been the Priests Critic in the time of Jesus, he would have labeled those pesky "Christian's as a cult. Hey--THEY WERE (are), if you consider the dictionary's definition of a cult.

I think another thing to look at, and a distressing thing to be sure, is how the Adventist church cow-towed to Martin and all the problem's that were caused by thinking they needed to defend themselves in the form of the QOD book.

Whoever they were in the Adventist church that elevated Martin to some sort of significant status made a huge mistake. He should have been told to go fly a kite instead of worrying about what he would write or what he would say.

I'm a cult member. I fully admit it.

From Dictionary.com Unabridged

cult [kuhlt] –noun

1. a particular system of religious worship, esp. with reference to its rites and ceremonies.
2. an instance of great veneration of a person, ideal, or thing, esp. as manifested by a body of admirers: the physical fitness cult.

Using the definition above if you believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior you are a member of a cult. Jesus Christ was a man and at the same time God (1 Timothy 2:5/1 Peter 4:11), He brought a new way of thinking and believing in the character of God (1 John 1:2/John 14:11), and of course the "thing" is eternal life and salvation unto Jesus (John 17:3).

I am quite happy and over-joyed to tell anyone that will listen that I am a member of a "cult."

Anyone ever heard which denomination Billy Graham is in? Did he ever announce which church he belonged to before he started preaching each time? How about any evangelical preacher? Just curious.

God bless
Jim Larmore
Amen Jim--I never hear any evangelist tell his audience what church he is AFFILIATED with. It's really not important is it? If we are preaching Christ and Him crucified-then what's the beef? (I mean veggie patty!)-lol

BTW--THIS IS MY 2500 POST!!!!! YEAH--LOL.

The difference is that Billy Graham doesn't end up with the ultimate sermon: Belong to so and so denomination or you're doomed. He doesn't lead you back to his congregation.

His chruch is that of Jesus Christ: Death for remission of sins, His Burial for change and His Resurrection for our Eternal Life.

His chruch is about the people who hunger and thrist for righteousness. He uses many people from many churches:
In the months leading up to the Crusade, more than 1,400 churches mobilized to lift up the name of Christ in their neighborhoods and to invite people to the Crusade.
Sorry I cannot give you an url since I do not have enough posts.

Can you believe that someone took the time to go back and drag this post up so they could report me for 'flaming non-Trad" SDA'S???

Man--this spite reporting is getting out of hand.
