I notice this area seems kinda dead. Have Adventists either moved to the conservative, historic side of things or moved on to some other church? Is there no moderate/progs left? I was kinda hoping the more progressive/moderate Adventists could make inroads and get Adventism out of the 1800's...

I found someone that thinks Catholicism believes Mary is our Mediator, not Christ. Is this true? http://www.christianforums.com/t7674120/

Not an indictment of Adventist pastors, just a sad story that may be of interest. KAALtv.com - Rochester Police Still Haven't Interviewed Teen Shooting Victim -- The investigation into the shooting of a 16-year-old Rochester girl continues. Police say they still haven't been able to...

Do you traditional Adventists still discourage the use of coffee and tea? It was that way when I was a kid, but in later years my SDA dad used to drink coffee sometimes, and I think my mom drinks a Mountain Dew occasionally. Is caffeine less stigmatized now than it was years ago in Adventist...

Someone I am conversing with says Martin Luther was a vegetarian and had a pro vegetarian website link saying he was. I can't believe as a good German he would not eat meat. Does anyone have any info on this?

As far as I know the clean/unclean meat laws were universally believed to be abrogated by Christains for almost 2000 years. Do any of you know when the belief by some that they are still in effect take hold in Christian history? I know at least Seventh Day Adventitsts and MJ's hold to this...

I just want to express my appreciation to my brothers and sisters in the Catholic church for the beautiful church buildings and statues and other art. I love going through old rural towns and seeing the different architecture and such in the Catholic churches and rectories. I like seeing the...

First of all I would like to say ths is not for debate (hopefully), just information. If I rember correctly Adventists sometimes practice rebaptism. First of all is this Biblical or a tradition of some kind? (Just so you know it is not ever practiced in my current church as far as I know...

I was wondering if someone here could explain the "present truth" idea that Adventism has. I seem to remember hearing the phrase, but don't really remember the meaning. I'm not here to cause trouble, just want to understand. Thanks!

Hi! I am a disillusioned ELCA'r who is serching for another denomination. I was raised an SDA amd have hardly any Lutheran relatives. I visited a LCMS congregation for the first time a couple of weeks ago and was quite impressed by the service and especially the pastor's message. I plan to...

As a civil war historian of sorts and an ex-Adventist, I was wondering about SDA's participation in the civil war. I know the Adventist church officially was organized in 1863, which of course was right in the middle of the conflict. Did the church have a position on serving in the war? Were...

I've been convinced in my mind I should quit drinking entirely. I know the Holy Spirit is the one that impressed this on me. I'm sure I drank to much, but never had any obvious problems come of it affecting myself. Most nights 2 or three strong drinks before bed and going out for a few every...

I was starting to read the thread "Should Christians keep the Sabbath" and have an observation to make. In post 3 you write: I'm not allowed to question things where this was originally written, so I'll post this here... Why did you skip some verses in Matt. 5? 23Therefore if thou bring thy...

Hi! I was raised an Adventist and went through SDA schools through 2nd year of college. After a few years of living worldly, as they say, the Lord called me back to being an active Christian in the Lutheran church. The reason I started posting here a while back was more or less to see if things...
