  • 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?

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?

Here is the problem with this analogy. See, sin separates us from God. Unless sin is removed there will be a problem. That is a spiritual phenomenon and the child disobeying the rules of the parent cannot equate to when we sin. So its not as easy as your analogy suggests. We do not know what is the extent to which sins that are unrepentant can be fatal. If a Christian who lives up to the principles of God has a minute of weakness, does something wrong and immediately dies for some reason would they be lost? I won't like to think so and if God knowing his sheep knows that this individual would have repented a bit later when convicted of the wrongdoing then why would he be lost. We can have opinions on this as I have just shared but there is nothing totally conclusive one way or the other. That's different from someone who has no regard for God's law and is committing sin.

I think it I plain for all to see an sda member I afraid to answer a dimple question and it I obvious why. He has been told as soon as he answers it he will get a full response to the question he desperately wants answered

No its not. i have seen this go down already. Its pretty much a "you answer my question", "no you answer first" scenario. Somebody could also say that you are afraid to answer the question as well.

You will all be able to see if I keep my word IF he answers the question

Because you are afraid to answer the question I asked and I want it answered, simple---and just to prove that you are not reading very thoroughly---I am not a man. And as a woman, I am very bulldoggish and will hang on with my bare teeth and when I ask a question I want an answer--just ask my husband. We can keep this up till Jesus comes at which point, we both get our questions answered.

Would you agree, sin can only seperate us from God through the law?
For without the law sin is dead rom7:8

You have already proved you are afraid to answer the question,. If you weren't, you would have quickly answered it, for i promised you, if you did your question to me would receive a detailed response. If I was you I would forget it rather Tha carry on. It doesn't reflect well on you as we all know why you refuse to answer

Whatever you say---I still await an answer from a very stubborn man to an equally stubborn woman--so----we both wait to see who gives in first, I can guarantee it will not be me. And I don't thst the whole of the universe is watching. n I asked a question, answer it and we can move on. Personally, I don't think anybody is watching as it is pretty boring and everyone has moved on to bigger and better things as everyone knows the answer to both in their own minds anyway.

The reason you refuse to answer my question is because you fear it may prove your belief false.
Now if you want to obey the TC you should admit Tha is the truth, but will you?

You do believe Paul is a false apostle don't you? Only he kept stating the christian is not under law and dies to the law and you take issue with that

A good example of people relentlessly stating:
You must obey the TC

Who either does not know what that entails, or, chooses to break Gods laws whenever they want to


You are seriously confused---you say we keep the law and yet you accuse us of breaking the law.
So obviously you can't comprehend that the law does not save, Jesus does. But you are the one that seems to think we can break the law of God whenever we want and still believe you will be saved for you have not refuted that statement. We refute your statement that we are saved by works, but you do not refute your statement that you are saved even as an unrepentant sinner. So, since even unrepentant sinners get to go to be with Jesus, do you believe that even Satan will?

This assumes you were raised by loving parents

Oh I'm not confused, you keep parts of the letter of the law, PARTS.
As we cannot progress the discussion how could you know what I believe.
You believe you are saved by grace and will attain heaven IF you obey the TC

You also believe you are under law. You should have learnt at beginners class if you are under the law you are under a law of righteousness

Paul a false apostle??? Boy, you really do not comprehend. I love Paul.
I can't find where he said that an unrepentant sinner (transgressor of God's law) will still be saved. So unless he said that, you are the one that does not believe him. I do not take issue with what Paul says, just with what you say. Answer the question--Ohm, I forgot, your refusal to refute it is your answer. Unrepentant sinners are saved--you just can't find where that is stated, yet, keep looking.
