    Court rules Christian Mingle must allow LGBT couples

    Since they settled the lawsuit, rather than going to trial, there probably isn't any issue to appeal. I just read the court's judgment. What the judge did was explicitly put the terms of the settlement into the judgment in order to give the court jurisdiction to enforce the terms of the...

    Court rules Christian Mingle must allow LGBT couples

    I read the article, "Court rules Christian Mingle must allow LGBT couples," and I think the court made no such ruling. Rather, the court approved a settlement between the parties, which allows the dispute to be resolved without the court ruling on the underlying issues. This is how I heard it...

    Medieval Protest Groups Kept Alive the True Faith

    Our friend who claimed that we hadn't presented any historical evidence in support of the book Great Controversy's position that the Albigensians held the true faith, I think Mosheim's history linked and referred to above definitely shows that there is historical evidence in support of the idea...

    Medieval Protest Groups Kept Alive the True Faith

    I mentioned elsewhere that I had read two different accounts of the same event concerning the Albigensians in Mosheim, and that they were so different that one or the other or both had to be lies. I've located that. Those interested can read from #3 on page 385 onward at...

    Medieval Protest Groups Kept Alive the True Faith

    Good point. And we could add to that 2 Thessalonians 2 where Paul said that the mystery of iniquity was already at work that would result in the man of sin. Since his language there points back to the prophecies of Daniel, he was speaking of the little horn of Daniel 7. One thing I find a bit...

    Medieval Protest Groups Kept Alive the True Faith

    The question has been raised in another thread as to whether the protest groups of the Middle Ages were off the wall, or whether they kept alive the true faith, and whether the historicist interpretation that the 1260 days ran from 538 to 1798 is historically valid. Here is a summary of the...

    Adventist, Landmarkist Historical Errors in "The Trail of Blood," Ellen G. White, etc.

    Here is a summary of the evidence presented in this thread that the title of this thread is incorrect, with maybe some additional points. The 3rd kingdom of Daniel 7 must be Greece, according to Gabriel in Daniel 8. This was by far the standard interpretation in the early centuries. This leads...

    Adventist, Landmarkist Historical Errors in "The Trail of Blood," Ellen G. White, etc.

    LittleLambofJesus, I'm not sure how that fits MoreCoffee's statement. He made that statement in response to my suggestion that he ask his priest about the problem of Daniel 8 mandating that the 3rd kingdom of Daniel 2 and Daniel 7 be Greece, when he wants it to be Persia. I even showed how the...

    Non Trinitarianism in Adventism

    I'm not quite done. On that other thread you kept harping at me to say I agreed with the Nicean Creed, when I told you that I don't do creeds. The Bible is my only creed. Rather than respect that, you opened up this thread instead of continuing the discussion over there. Now you refuse to...

    Non Trinitarianism in Adventism

    It is not off topic. And I said nothing about indisputable evidence. I very clearly said "indisputable biblical points," and not one of the biblical points I made is disputable. Is it disputable that arche means first in time or place? No. Is it disputable that one of the possible meanings for...

    Non Trinitarianism in Adventism

    What do you mean by "is topical"? I'm not really interested in spending lots of time discussing things with someone who dismisses indisputable biblical points by the mere assertion that those biblical points are erroneous. It shows you're not really serious. Have you shown that I gave an...

    Non Trinitarianism in Adventism

    (a) Then why did you ask about what I thought about Nicea, if it was off topic? I think you did this sort of thing on that other thread too. (b) Critics routinely, falsely accuse us of not believing in the deity of Christ because of our stance about Michael. This thread is entitled "Non...

    Non Trinitarianism in Adventism

    ibl But you haven't replied to what I said about Nicea, and we certainly haven't looked at everything about Michael. What would be a greener pasture than discovering what the Bible says about Michael, or learning from history about the various steps in the attempted change of the Sabbath...

    Non Trinitarianism in Adventism

    You very clearly were saying that you understood him to be saying that he rejected the Nicean Creed as being a tradition of men, which leaves the impression that that he, and Adventists, reject the doctrinal statements within that creed. Stating it in the form of a question doesn't change that...

    Non Trinitarianism in Adventism

    But you said that BobRyan rejects the Nicene creed as a tradition of men, and that suggests that he rejects the doctrinal statements within that creed. And that would be dishonest.
