The unadulterated pre-modern meaning of the word "protest" is "in favor of testing." Catholics were persecuted by Protestants in the U.S. in the early 20th century. I know the history but I wasn't there. I have never been anti-Catholic myself but I am in favor of testing doctrine. You can...

The Seventh-day Adventist Church is one of the approved Christian Faith Groups on the list maintained by the forum administrators. You are becoming increasingly polarizing and you are treading on thin ice with the forum rules by advancing your anti-Protestant agenda as well. Fair warning given.

You're welcome.

I can't find any "eighth day" on the calendar. The tablets of stone inscribed by the finger of God = "the traditions of men." Got it. You kinda outed yourself with your contra-protestantism link. I hope you're not treading near to forum rule violation.

I guess the Gentiles spoken of in Romans 2:15 somehow got the Levitical law written in their hearts.

And here we go. There is not obviously a difference, otherwise there is no way to square what St.James wrote about "works" and what St.Paul wrote about other stuff like: For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone...

There is no difference. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. Galatians 5:22-23 And neither have the power to save. At least not as performed by sinful men. They do as performed...

I guess you just didn't understand the Gospel. I hate to break it to you, but my Southern Baptist parents and grandparents were legalists, too. Legalists are everywhere. They usually have gray hair, not a certain denominational affiliation. Where's your sense of humor, btw? Good thing a...

That's "mite," not "might." lol Having been an Adventist myself for nearly 50 years it's strange that I should have such a different take on that. Oh I forgot. I've been hoodwinked. They may have had their conference-paid "scholar" employment terminated (as they should) but we don't...

For it seems to me that God has put us apostles on display at the end of the procession, like those condemned to die in the arena. We have been made a spectacle to the whole universe, to angels as well as to human beings. 1 Corinthians 4:9 NIV You think Daniel 7:9-10 depicts a "day of shouting...

Lovely greeting. Thanks. You certainly have the right to your opinion but it seems a little harsh considering you have so little information about me. I don't see the problem. Except that judgment only has one "e." Investigators rarely investigate for their own benefit. It's a good thing Ellen...

We're just talking in circles now. I didn't create mankind with a desire for intimacy. God did. I'm not going to concede that marriage is merely a tool for selfishness. Have it your own way, but you're wasting keystrokes trying to convince me. Over-and-out.

Political correctness has nothing to do with the difference between force and willingness on the part of both parties. That's not selfish. The two participants give themselves to each other. Any other type of arrangement is a sham. The Bible is clear enough on this point.

I wouldn't "make" her vow anything. She would have to be willing. That's why we ask "Will" you marry me? Gen 2:18 KJV And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.

Be glad to oblige. 1Jn 3:4 KJV Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. Mat 22:36-40 KJV 36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law? 37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy...

My wife and I were non-devout Christians when we married 51 years ago. My family was Southern Baptist. Hers was non-denom on her mother's side and Seventh-day Adventist on her father's. I adopted the faith of my father-in-law quite miraculously 45 years ago. I thought my wife would be delighted...

HI, Bob S. :) It is because the investigative judgment is not for the purpose of informing Christ. (In all my years as an Adventist I've never heard such a thing taught in any of our churches or evangelism outreach efforts.) It is for the benefit of everyone else. That's how He operates. Always...

I think is very unlikely that every or even any nation which ratified that declaration considers it absolutely binding upon a sovereign nation. Nor is it likely that the U.S. delegation had the right to SSM in mind as being declared in the language of Article 16.

One surely couldn't help but wonder why God would place an innocent and holy Adam in Eden and give him a test that He was determined to see him fail.
