Hopefully all of us have the same faith. We may differ in the finer points of doctrine, but I would hope that none of is questioning the faith of another. BFA

My vegan father has had significant problems with B12 deficiencies and has to have medical intervention. This problem isn't inevitable, but it can happen. There's no guarantee that eating meat will result in better health. BFA

My assurance of salvation is built upon that which Christ has already completed and that which the Holy Spirit has already guaranteed. If it were built on anything else, I could never really have assurance. BFA

Individuality is a state of mind. No one can take it away from you if you don't want to lose it. BFA

Very sad story. I hope someone looks into the pressure that SDA principals feel to accept students the school is not equipped to help. BFA

Are post-canonical prophets authoritative IF their prophecy contradicts the canon? BFA

How would we view this if both brothers claimed they were shown by God that the cat was actually a dog? BFA

We spend way too much time worrying about how people perceive us and far too little time worrying about how God perceives us. Why not? Worship can occur in many different places. I can do it in my PJs. Sometimes, yes. That is only one of many forms of worship. Hopefully, we are experiencing...

Your second sentence seems out of place with your first, imo. As I read the Bible, I am persuaded that all such issues fall within the same bucket. BFA

If the president had a "come just as you are" policy (as Jesus Christ does), then yes I would If we're going to worry about how we present ourselves for corporate worship, let's put our focus in the right place. Let's start with the way we worship God throughout the week. Clothes mean more to...

If so, then may I recommend focusing on The Real as opposed to focusing on possible distortions of reality? BFA

We seem to be left with a choice. We can believe Christ's promise that He always lives to intercede for us and that He will never leave us or forsake us, or we can accept your teachings. For that matter, His work of atonement was completed once for all on the cross. It is not a future event...

I would imagine he did so because there is truly no distinction between old covenant laws. The old covenant included 600+ laws, not 10. BFA

Crib . . . I do think you're touching on an important FIRST question. What is the everlasting gospel? I'll be interested in how others answer this question. BFA

I submit that it is worthwhile to allow the immediate context to speak for itself before appealing to separate passages written by different authors to other audiences during different time periods on other topics. Would you agree? BFA

BH . . . Thanks for having the courage to share so openly. I suspect your situation has little to do with the sabbath and much to do with the dynamic between you and your wife. You've received a lot of advice in this thread. Mine is just another $.02 from some guy on the Internet. First, your...

This is my experience as well. Although theological bullying can be found in any group, some groups are more suseptible than others. These groups prefer the "my way or the highway" approach. BFA

If this is truly inaccurate, where would we find confirmation that the sabbath was given to all gentiles? This is not what I believe, nor is it what other Christians around me believe. "Fulfill" does not mean "destroy." Sunday is not the sabbath. I don't personally know anyone who...

If this repetition means that we are compelled to observe the whole law, then are we also compelled to offer animal sacrifices and keep all sabbaths . . . since all of these things are mentioned in the New Testament? Often, it's fascinating not only to read the passages that folks cite, but...
