LGW I thought I was responding to a question about sola fide. I was trying to ask what sola scriptura meant to SDA, which is why I referenced Raymond Cottrell’s work on Daniel 8. Here is the paper he presented in 2002. The Sanctuary Doctrine: Asset or Liability? by Raymond F. Cottrell I don’t...

Sola fide, is one of the five sola principles and those two words are not in a Bible verse. Of course neither are any of the other 4 solas specifically listed in the Bible. They are summary statements to teach scriptural principles. The principle of sola fide teaches that salvation is entirely...

Your answers are really non-responsive to my questions. It appears that you are simply compiling texts (possibly texts used in the 28 Fundamental Beliefs?) and assembling your answers. Your response to #3 indicate you do not know the gospel or the true nature of man as you never simply STATE...

and what is your answer to #4 How are you saved?

My dear brother, so many things resonate in your sharing here. Thank you. I come from a family of 2 brothers and 2 parents at home. I was baptized Lutheran, completed memorizing much of the Larger Catechism in Germany when I was 14. I was confirmed in Worms, Germany in 1970 (Kitty corner to...

He was no ordinary pastor but a gifted Hebrew scholar. What about what Daniel 8 states in the Hebrew? How hard is it to say ... we were mistaken Daniel 8 in the Hebrew teaches something different and we are revising #24 accordingly?

Ok fine. What about his and the secret committee's conclusions from the Hebrew Bible about Daniel 8? It seems a shabby way to treat a humble, gifted scholar by just ignoring his careful conclusions from the Hebrew Bible yet publicly state that we are sola scriptura? Huh? Seems like a bit of...

I am hoping you read his message-- a lot of what he studied was prior to 1972 (not 1977) when you said he was “normal”. Page 13 from the paper: "The Commentary experience with Daniel already mentioned led me into an unhurried, in-depth, spare-time, comprehensive study of Daniel 7 to 12 that...

Sabbath from Ge 3 to Ex 16 After the Bible record of God resting on the seventh day, there is no mention of anyone keeping the seventh day until Ex. 16. Is this a mistake or an oversight? Or perhaps keeping the seventh day as a day of rest was so commonplace that it didn't require Biblical...

Ok Let's start in Genesis - from some old notes -- just stick to Genesis--no other reference right now. The first mention about the Sabbath can be found in Genesis: Gen 2:1-3 "Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array. By the seventh day God had finished the work he...

I did not say that all the groups listed were Saturday Sabbath keepers...I was trying to give some background that bible interpretations of things like the Sabbath are not generated out of nothing. The NY burned out district they came from influenced their teachings and scriptural "bent"...

So how can one have any assurance with the Investigative Judgement hanging over their head? I have a lot of respect for theAdventist Hebrew scholar Ray Cottrell who took this on from the Hebrew Bible--but unfortunately was stymied by GC Higher ups. Very sad story. What say you about Mr...

I get the proof texts you have eloquently quoted. As Adventist scholars privately admit ,this sort of somewhat unique exegesis regarding the Saturday Sabbath is entirely absent in the Ancient Church from 50 AD to the post reformation church into the 1600s. The 4 Eastern Church pentarchs kept a...

...I may be wrong, but I believe EGW’s proclamations are binding??: over people like me (and others like me) who have heard the doctrine and requirement for Saturday Sabbath Keeping and have willfully chosen to observe Sunday as the Lords Day (Sabbath)-- from what I have read, according to EGW...
