just out of curiosity - what is the point of owning both versions of the game? As far as I know they are only minor differences. Not that I am particular interested in the pokemon frachise...

Hi there!!! I have bought myself a Wii U for Christmas. Since it is backwards compatible I thought about buying Xenoblade Chronicles. There are lots of people who claim its one of the best rpgs ever made, while some say its actually not that great. Have you played it? Did you like it? On the...

Whatever Laodicea was and MIGHT BE nowadays. The most striking issue is the lack of JESUS, as He is standing outside and knocking... I silently wonder how that can come to pass... :)

I used to play xbox and ps games for the last couple of years but I grew weary of them more and more. For a very long time I couldnt decide which console to buy, sometimes I leaned towards xbox sometimes towards ps4. Then I realized that the games didnt really make me feel good (at least most...

Hi Got myself a wii u and a 2ds recently after years of playing xbox and ps games... grew kinda tired of them and now I am more into nintendo games. Currently playing Mario vs. donkey miniland mayhem and ocarina of time - great games IMHO

I have given it some thought and must agree with you ECR. I dont necessarily think that my intentions were evil or meant to ridicule. I guess they were rather meant to be thoughtprovoking. As a matter of fact I have made the decision to cease from partaking on this forum. I wanted to do that...

:) so I was right in my assessment :) Well, thats a good question actually, why am I coming to this forum... Well, I guess there is no simple answer, maybe because I have an SDA background and would to share my thoughts with you, could that be? as in not wanting to be left alone with my...

Good point! We should all be aware of those scoffers. In what way does this apply to this thread btw?

could be, didnt have time for it yet (no internet at home!)

really awkward situation then... in a way you cannot trust any of her writings because you dont know if it was inspired or not, can an inspired writing be fallible? can a prophecy from God fail? if it can then it is hard to put your trust in her writings or in other words everything becomes...

Good point! I never heard anybody claim that she was infallible. But what about her writings? - It is claimed that they were inspired, are they infallible?

another thing related to the abstinace vow! It is not only limited to abstinance but also one has to pledge not to be involved in the production and selling of tobacco and alcohol. In a certain way it is a logical step. If somebody believes that we should live an abstinant life then it would...

What is more You are right the bible does not support her idea of abstinance. - Is she wrong on that? Now have a closer look at it: When somebody wants to join the SDA church, they will join the church through baptism - right? While baptism is biblical indeed, it is not positively clear to...

Of course, she might have said that, could be. But then, as you already must have realized, we are diving into the realms of interpretation and possibilities. Maybe it was God's test for some people, maybe, but maybe not? This will lead to us to many ifs and buts and maybes. How can you create a...

Right we find discrepancies in the bible as well. However, the bible was written by many different people over periods of time and then translated into numerous languages... EGWs writings are supposed to have originated from one person who wrote over a specific period of time. She claimed to...

This is another good point that does more harm than good. I have observed many times that if SDA children start drinking (or doing whatever goes against SDA rules) they somehow start doing it excessively. A belief originates that they are on the wrong path now and if they drink in moderation...

My mother converted when I was about eight years old, so, it was quite a change... the rest of my family are catholics... Yeah, it struck me as well when I read Moses and saw that God commanded the people to use tithes to buy strong drinks (among others). Somebody said that Moses never said it...

Let me put it this way, shortly before my baptism into the sda and straight afterwards I realized some disturbing things. The doctrinal first thing was the use of alcohol, or rather not using it (and no I am no alcoholic). It wasnt maybe even the lack of having an occasional drink or something...

Believe me, for every accusation there is a rebuttal.. :) :) - even if its not that convincing it will be sufficient for the die hard followers of egw and if there is none, I heard somebody say it's God's stumling block for the unbelievers. No arguments can really help here, only God can make...
