• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • 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.

Why do people like Seventh-day Adventist and Adventist doctrine?

That is all so absurd as you have been shown over and over---0the commandments are the commandments--period. and there are 10 of them, not 9, take His name in vain and you will oay the price if you do not repent. Being a repentant sinner is far from being an unrepentant one. We keep His commandments because we saved, not in order to be saved,, my condolences for your inability to grasp the concept, but if you pray about it you will be given the light if you ask honestly. The saved are not saved by their works, but the lost are judged by theirs. It's not rocket science.
I see you have no scripture to quote as asked for.

You may be blind to this fact, but you do believe heaven is obtained by obeying the law.
For to you, if you obey the TC you enter heaven, if you don't you are condemned
That is a righteousness of observing the law. It isn't rocket science

I am so very sorry that you can not understand the clearly written word of God, There is no other way to state it but that we are not saved by our works but by grace, but if you do sin (and sin is the transgression of the law) you have an advocate with Jesus and if you repent, you will be forgiven, It is so clear. we do not sin (transgress the law of God) because we are saved, not in order to be save. There is no clearer way to state it. What oart6 of saved by grace is it you do not understand? What part of an unrepentant sinner is lost do you not understand? Do you understand how people are lost? Do you understand how God can say this to a believer?
Mat 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Mat 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
Mat 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

is very basic spiritual fact that I you live under the law you live under a law of righteousness. It means the same thing!

An sda member stated on another thread. The requirement to enter heaven is obeying the TC.
If you truly believe you are not under a law of righteousness you have been duped.
For however you like to word it, you believe heaven hinges on obeying the TC.
That is a law of righteousness, despite your protestations to the contrary

Do you believe you will be saved if you sin against God (transgress His law) that you will still be saved even if unrepentant?

The Pharisees of Jesus day obeyed the letter of the law far better than sda members on this thread I am sure.
Yet Jesus said unless your righteousness surpasses theirs you will not enter heaven

Lets assume you were raised by loving parents. When you broke their rules as a child, between the time you did so and you said sorry to them for transgressing their rules were you in danger of them throwing you out of the family home?

That's because they observed the letter of the law while their hearts were far from God. When Jesus explained the true meaning of the law he revealed how deep it goes. For instance, thou shalt not commit adultery When Jesus explained the spirit of the law he showed how much the pharisees were missing the mark. So its not about how well you keep the law according to the letter, its about how you live up to the principles of the law. As Paul said, love is the fulfilling of the law. Once you have the love of Jesus you will keep his law the way God intended it to be kept and it wont just be empty actions.
