    Ellen White and the Exaltation of Christ

    This thread is designed to focus specifically on what Ellen White had to say about the position of Christ/Michael the Archangel in heaven, prior to His Incarnation on earth. It is not a debate on the identity of Michael - this is assumed agreed (at least for the sake of discussion) that Michael...

    In Defense of the Great Disappointment

    Did William Miller ever preach a definite date for Christ's Second Coming? Were the opposition correct in using the Scripture 'but of that day and hour knoweth no man' to stop the Millerite movement? Was EGW justified in condemning those who applied this Scripture? Did EGW 'blame'...

    Salvation

    You are correct, the immediate context is to do with his circumstances at the time. But, you are only not willing to allow this text to apply to sin because of your preconceived ideas. When Paul said "all things" under the Spirit of Inspiration, he didn't really mean "all things"? Especially in...

    Some Advice?

    Could I get everyone's input on this. Recently I have grown very uncomfortable at a certain posts made by someone in the main forum. I'm not sure how to deal with this. I've felt the presence of satanic influence before, and I get the same feeling when I read these posts. I know it sounds...

    The Trinity

    There are a few intricacies within this topic that I'd like to discuss, so I'll write each one in a list - and hopefully we can progress through them one by one. 1. Does the Godhead consist of three co-eternal Beings, equal in nature, purpose and power, or is God only the Father? Do they hold...

    Confused on something: Part II

    "And the devil who deceived them was thrown in the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are also; and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever." Revelation 20:10 This text stumps me. As Adventists we believe the Bible does not support eternal-torment...

    The so called 'Divine Revelation of Hell'

    Here is a link a friend of a friend sent to me, about a guy who supposedly had a vision of hell, and experienced what it is like: http://www.spiritlessons.com/Documents/Bill_Wiese_23_Minutes_In_Hell/23_Minutes_in_Hell_by_Bill_Wiese_Reference_Version_med.wmv I wasn't really shocked at what...

    The Sabbath Day

    For the sake of reminding my fellow Seventh-day Adventists, our Lord in heaven gave us this special gift: "Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work which God had created and made." Genesis 2:3 He then goes on to say, "Remember the...

    Are we to stand for this?

    I would like people's opinion on this, particularly the moderator's - Sophia, Tall, etc. If I were to adopt the guise 'IlovethePope" or something, barge into the Catholic forum, and join in their discussions, is there no way that it can be determined whether I was a Catholic or not? Would...

    The Seven Trumpets of Revelation

    Are the seven trumpets of Revelation related to the Festival of Trumpets in the OT? The trumpets were sounded on the first of every month (Numbers 10:10), whereby, on the first of the seventh month, marked a special occasion because it was the month of Yom Kippur - the Day of Atonement...

    Who sits on the throne....

    Who is it sitting on the throne in Revelation 4? Christ, or the Father? Who is it sitting on the throne in Isaiah 6? Bare in mind the verse: "No one has seen God [the Father] at any time...." John 1:18 Help! Jon

    The Perfection Doctrine

    We need more lively discussion in our forum. If we're not arguing about the Sanctuary, 1844, or EGW, we're all silent! This can't go on peoples!! :) So, I thought this would be an interesting topic to get everyone going. It is obviously still debated, and we will definately not all agree, but...

    Do our Works count towards Salvation?

    Are we saved by faith alone, or by works alone, or by a mixture of both? When we are judged, what exactly will we be judged on, and/or according to? Your thoughts and Biblical evidence please!!! "and..GO!"

    Why do Adventists come across in the wrong way?

    I've been on this site for about a month now and its come as no surprise that SDA's are even on the net seen as Bible bashing/false-doctrine having/'know-it-all'/legalist/only saved by keeping the Sabbath/'proof-texters' and all the other typical names we are called. Its almost as if whenever an...

    Will there be marriage and/or newborn babies in heaven?

    From our adventist perspective will there be marriage in heaven? If so, does this mean there will be children in heaven? I know from experience this question divides opinion, was wondering of opinions on here and any Biblical references?

    Implications of Modern Physics vs Religion

    I am very much into theoretical Physics, research, theories etc. I would love to hear people's thoughts on what scientists believe as actual, testable, mathematically consistent fact, which has questionable implications on religious values, the Bible etc. Its verrrrrryy rare to find Christian...
