    Barak Obama address issues of race in America, is it the end of his candidancy?

    The OT Prophets didn't shy away from mixing truth and social commentary.

    John Ankerberg Show video links

    This video , to me, shows the great trouble in trying to distinguish between what is officially written down in the fundamentals by the GC, and what high ranking editors and presidents write. It also shows some of the divide between Adventist orthodoxy and orthopraxy. What the conference...

    Walter Martin and William Johnsson on the John Ankerberg Show

    Not sure of a date on this one. I haven't watched all of them, but the video order goes 1-14, 2-14 etc, then 1-3, 2-3 ....... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Xf5mkZz3kY Interested to see any comments, or if anyone knows of the date of filming. UPDATE: It seems to be after Glacier View.

    Let's breath some life into this board!

    No, the reason why there won't be unity is because people have given up on unity and taken the easy way out. A progressive, or evangelical, or traditional Adventism is worth nothing if it doesn't have Christ-centred unity as its driving force. The point is that as the Body of Christ (all...

    Stop the Madness!

    It seems to me that the bid for no gun control is likewise not about guns, but about control.

    Blaming God

    I would hope that all here have some desire to discover truth. The argument is not the end for me. I desire clearness and understanding, not confusion. However, without engaging with any concrete concepts and definitions, all that will be left is 'merely engaging in argument.' So, either...

    Blaming God

    What you call "Christ-consciousness" is still poorly defined. Which teachings of Christ? The ones found in the Gospels, or maybe like the Jesus Seminar, you want to decide which ones are authentic or not? What about the teachings of Jesus about his parousia? Is Christ-consciousness a...

    Living Together Before Marriage?

    Just out of interest, where do we get the idea that sex is the only real beginning of a marriage? Is it from the Bible? Just wondering.

    Stop the Madness!

    From the amount of tragic shootings that have happened in the US over the last few weeks, I remain astonished and speechless when people call for MORE guns, and unrestricted as well. Surely at least a good registration system would keep them out of the hands of the mentally ill, but again this...

    Let's breath some life into this board!

    I was going to say that the way to breath life into this board would be to read Eph 4, particularly v. 3 and hold of on reacting violently and aggresively when a "trad" makes a post. Something about making every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.

    Blaming God

    It is also worse when some blame humans, or more specifically SDA's (think Herbert Douglas, Kevin Paulsen and other Last Generation (Perfection) Theology boys) Some of them are called 19th century Classical Liberals like Schleiermacher, Ritschl, Rauschenbaum etc.. They found the idea of a...

    Barack Obama, is America ready for a black president?

    I would suggest everyone go and read Lev 19:9-10; 23:22; Duet 15 and don't forget - Duet 10:19; Lev 19:33-34; Ex 23:9; Duet 27:19

    Barack Obama, is America ready for a black president?

    I can just imagine a poor person coming up to Jesus and him saying, "Whatever, your fault for not working."

    I suppose seculars and atheists get off scott free?

    Spectrum, what is its driving force and message?

    Well, 'improving' is my poor word. A better idea for some of the recent direction might be 'finding a new vision' or perhaps just 'finding a vision' - particularly some of the editorials by Charles Scriven.

    What's right With It?

    Second Coming: Adventist doctrine of the Second Coming contains a number of constelation doctrines such as millennium, historicist interpretaion of Daniel, Revelation and the Olivet Sermon, time of trouble, close of probation, 3AM, interpretaion of symbols like the beast. Some of these things...

    What's right With It?

    I like to be constructive more than destructive (not to be confused with decontructive or critical, which is invaluable in intellectual persuits) so I will give it a go. I would first acknowledge that the doctrines of the Seventh-day Adventist Church have undergone changes and developements...

    Spectrum, what is its driving force and message?

    No. I generally read each edition at my local adventist college library and I continue to enjoy it. What you will find inside the covers is a sample of some of the many intelligent and thoughtful voices in Adventism. Some articles are controversial, but this does not reflect an editorial bias...

    Would you mind providing a more detailed comparisson of Christian beliefs and Ron Paul?
