  • 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.

Are non-Sabbatarian Christians Christians? Don't they, by your beliefs,, bear the Mark of the Beast?

Do you consider members of the RCC Christians?
Not yet. The mark of the beast hasn't been issued yet, according to Adventist doctrine. That is predicted to happen at the end of time, when a national Sunday law is issued and everyone has to make a choice between Sabbath and Sunday worship. In the meantime, anyone who now goes to church on Sunday out of ignorance of the Sabbath could be considered a sincere Christian (even RCC members), as long as they haven't rejected the Sabbath "truth." Those who are not ignorant, though (especially former Adventists like me), are endangering our salvation.

There will come a time when its laid out in the open, and all can choose, what is the truth of Christ or stay in bondage to the adversary, then the probation will close. One will have the 'mark' of their master at that point.. As we see from Christ...

Revelation 22:11
He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.

When Christ was crucified, it was His human nature that died. Deity did not sink and die; that would have been impossible.
I responded to this in another thread. Natures do not die. Persons die.
Jesus, who is God, died. God died. To say otherwise is to fall into the heresy of Nestorianism.

Indeed, and Nestorianism is not actually consistent with the Nicene Creed because it divides Christ into two persons or two hypostasis, which is why St. Cyril opposed it.

It’s for this same reason we refer to the Blessed Virgin Mary as the Mother of God, because a nature cannot have a mother.
