  • 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.

Yes, but I can't find a contact point to ask a question about their literature. I am trying to find some information from The Seventh-day Adventist Bible commentary. I purchased two volumes on a used book store but they are rather old and I found out they had a bunch of new ones printed in the 80s. I am trying to find vol 2 and 5 as mentioned by Bacchiocci in his book the Time of the Crucifixion and the Resurrection. Footnote 6 on page 34, I am interested in finding more information on inclusive counting in the Bible. I have volumes 2 and 5 coming to me in a few days but I am not sure I will be able to find what I need.

I still keep the Sabbath alone. I do not attend a church though but I miss it sometimes. I don't always keep the Sabbath but when I do I find I am able to rest and mellow out on the Sabbath day. I don't feel we should judge each other for what day we keep. So said Paul in the Bible.

I sent this to you on the PM you sent me. Is this what you're looking for?

Every church is a little different, some are more progressive than others, the ones I go to and prefer are the ones that are more conservative. They usually start off with song and prayers, some have children's stories and a sermon and close with music prayer. After church many times they will have a potluck for fellowship.

When I lived in CA, I went to a pretty large SDA church and Pastor Doug Batchelor was my pastor, he is a popular SDA pastor and has brought many people to Christ including myself. He is more of a teacher than a pastor and he makes the sermons interesting while packing it with Scriptures. When i moved to another state it took me a while to find the right SDA church, almost a year. The one I go to now is much smaller but its really a family and I love it.

If you have any questions, let me know.

God bless!
Hi sabbath blessings

I went a long to a service today not long got home, it was nice lovely people, they were having a lunch after the service then another 2 hour Bible study from 3-5 I didn't stay for that this time as I had family coming around this afternoon, but I did enjoy the 3 hours I spent with them was nice to hear people acknowledge the lord in everything, and not complaining that in it self was refreshing Every blessing

Thanks for sharing and I am glad to hear you had a blessed Sabbath. 3 hours? You must have also went to Sabbath School, which I love. There is something really special about sharing the Sabbath with other Christians and its really my favorite day of the week.

God bless!

What is Samuele Bacchiocci's best book on why Christians should observe Sabbath? I know Paul said we shoudn't judge a man by what day he keeps (this cuts both ways). Does Doug Batchelor have one better? Please let me know as I like to revisit this issue from time to time.

Here’s a video of Pastor Doug Batchelor on why keep the Sabbath


Here is a book/study guide

I am more familiar with him than Bacchiocci but here is his book from Sabbath to Sunday. From Sabbath To Sunday by Samuele Bacchiocchi | PDF | Biblical Sabbath | Ten Commandments

Regarding Paul and judging the Sabbath if we look at the context he is speaking of things that were contrary and against Col2:14 not the seventh day Sabbath- Jesus said the Sabbath was made for mankind, not made against mankind. I can provide a bible study on this passage if you would like.

God bless!

I have purchased on Amazon a copy of Doug Batchelor's book on the Sabbath. I am going to restudy this issue shortly after I get the book.

I am in one of my alters right now and I love the idea of keeping the Sabbath.

I received Vol. 2 and Vol. 5 of the SDABC today and they both had what I was looking for. I am going to study this at a later date too. I wish I could afford them all but I can't and I don't have space on my bookshelves for them all but these two volumes will be handy to have around. It discusses the dating of Jesus's birth, the beginning of his ministry, and the day on which he was crucified and it has proof of inclusive counting in it. Thank You SabbathBlessings for your help.

I ordered from Amazing Facts Why God said Remember and The Lost Day of History. I will get How to Keep the Sabbath by Doug Batchelor soon and hope it gives the scripture needed to build a case for keeping the Sabbath rather than Sunday.

I thought God was pretty clear in the His written and spoken Testimony on how we should keep all days. Exo20:8-9

I hope you enjoy. God bless!

SabbathBlessings, do the Seventh-day Adventists believe in a eternal hell fire? I know they don't believe the soul is immortal so why could it burn for ever and ever?

No, we believe the punishment is eternal- the wages of sin is death Rom6:23
John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

I believe conscious eternal torment is really an attack on the character of God.

A body apart from the spirit is dead James 2:26 only Jesus can make someone immortal and He promises that at His Second Coming for those who are in Him.

1 Thess 4: 16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.
