    How old is the earth?

    This is the Copenhagen interpretation of the equations of quantum mechanics. But that is but one of many different interpretations. Not all agree with distant simultaneity. Famously Einstein did not either. KT

    Commandments of man or the commandments of God

    Thank you @JSRG This was a very helpful link directly to the correct information. I significantly disagree with the logic and conclusions written there, but I appreciate being able to read it directly for myself. Best wishes, KT

    Commandments of man or the commandments of God

    This is an interesting read. I have had to skim parts of it due to its length. A couple of parts caught my eye: From the Sabbath to Sunday 18. Because the Third Commandment depends upon the remembrance of God's saving works and because Christians saw the definitive time inaugurated by Christ...

    Commandments of man or the commandments of God

    It doesn't related to OP. But when you post, "Ellen White always believed in the Trinity", I feel obligated correct the record. KT

    Commandments of man or the commandments of God

    You have provided evidence that EGW wrote things (at some point) consistent with Trinitarian theology. But this does not address the issue of timing, or of changing understanding. The presentation that I linked to indicates that rather than changing from anti-trinitarian to pro-trinitarian...

    Commandments of man or the commandments of God

    I found this post: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.andrews.edu/~fortind/EGW-Trinity.ppt&ved=2ahUKEwiQjaWxvKaOAxVcSzABHTpbGM0QFnoECFUQAQ&usg=AOvVaw3eOvFCEFziy2xhD2V0-Q-F It is a power-point presentation from andrews.edu (Andrews University), and it...

    Commandments of man or the commandments of God

    Thank you for the kind words. For my education, in regards to the OP, may I ask what is the mainline thinking / teaching about Catholic Sunday worship? I find that most protestants react to discussions about Sabbath keeping with a discussion along the line of "Paul says that law was nailed to...

    Commandments of man or the commandments of God

    LOL! Don't let this information out! What will people say! :) Given that the vast majority of Christians are Catholics, and given that Sabbatarians are a minority of non-Catholic believers, I have no doubt that this is true. But I had never thought of this before. Oh the irony! Ha! Best...

    Yes, and.... You may be more effective if you have better supporting documents. KT

    Commandments of man or the commandments of God

    I am not personally familiar with the texts you mention above, but my perception is that they are old documents. I think an underlying theme of what you are saying is that Catholic teaching has said a thing in the past, so therefore it is a concern now. But is this logically sound? What is...

    No person can come to Christ by their own freewill !

    Whenever these discussions come up about God's election, or decision about the future of mankind, I think one element of confusion is our mental visualization of God. God is sometimes portrayed in Scripture like a humanoid shape sitting on a throne, i.e. has a single location(Revelation 4), and...

    No person can come to Christ by their own freewill !

    No one may come to Christ without God's power reaching into our hearts. But we have free will to reject His drawing love. KT

    Christians join Jewish, Hindu plaintiffs in Texas lawsuit against Ten Commandments in schools

    I would personally encourage Christians to put their children in Christian schools and do MORE than just put the 10 commandments on the wall. KT
