In addition to SB's post above. Ten Commandments Law of Moses Law of the Lord (Isaiah 5:24) Law of Moses (Luke 2:22) Royal law (James 2:8) Law contained in ordinances (Ephesians 2:15) Written by God on stone (Exodus 31:18; 32:16) Written by Moses in a book (2 Chronicles 25:12) Placed...

By that standard you cannot embrace either side, because they both lie. By toeing one party line or the other, you are supporting two sides of the same coin. No matter which side is up, there is lying, sanctimony, outrage and rhetoric. Therefore, it makes sense to me, as a Christian, to not...

As a Seventh-day Adventist, I wasn't aware of the Advent Christian Church until you created this thread. I had to do some reading. According to Wikipedia they formed out of William Miller's teachings and became a church in 1860. There is no mention of Ellen White, so I would assume since she...

Was the intention for this to become a debate thread or an informational thread? If informational, the debate can be moved to another thread.

Regarding a denomination, I would defer to members of a specific denomination for an accurate description. I wouldn't presume to speak for Methodists, Baptists, Presbyterians, nor any other denomination, but I can speak to Adventism, being an Adventist. What sets us apart as Seventh-day...

You can find the answer in the Sabbath commandment, where it was commanded that anyone who is a guest within your gates should observe the commandments of God.

The United States in End Time Prophecy I'm of the belief that the earth beast of Revelation 13:11-18 is the United States. The power of the United States government has to remain intact for it to be able to exercise all of the power of the first beast in Revelation 13:1-10. It has to have the...

I would disagree. Check out Brian Regan. He's hilarious.

I would assume the General Conference has to vote on such a change, as that is what has been done in the past. The use of Persons The use of Persons goes back to William Miller. This article from February 2009 gives some of the history of the trinity belief...

From what I can tell after putting the whole page through software to see what is different, only one word was changed. From: Seventh-day Adventist Christians believe there is one God. And that this one God is three co-eternal beings who work together in unity. The Father, the Son, and the...

Jesus made a strong statement in Matthew 15 concerning the commandments of men. Statements like these should be sobering to a Christian.

Our step mother would fill our plates full of food, a serving sized for an adult male with a large appetite, and we would be expected to clean our plates. This carried forward into my own adult life, where I would over eat out of habit. It wasn't until recent years that I got a handle on it...

Luke goes into more detail concerning what Jesus actually meant. Luke 24:45-49 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures, And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behooved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: And that...

You're welcome. Today the Seventh-day Baptist denomination has about 45,000 members in 81 churches, which is surprisingly small considering Rachel's influence on so many people. I would've loved to have met her.

Seventh-day Adventists church membership comes in at approximately 20 million. SDA offshoots will no doubt have much smaller member counts. If you take SDA (and offshoots) out of the picture and just look at other Sabbath observing Protestant denominations, you may find the numbers are quite...
