• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

If you are not following the Sabbath School Lesson Daily Study Guides in the New Adventist/Bible Study sub-forum, you should be! You will definitely find somthing different from just the standard Sabbath School Lesson.

ALSO: For anyone who has not read the writings of Ellen G. White, these lessons, and their helps, will give you some excellent insight into her writing.

Don't forget that you can view, or ask questions about, all the Sabbath School Lessons studied for the entire quarter as well as those posted previously by going to the AECHIVED Sabbath School Lessons in the stickies.

Thanks for your comments also! :thumbsup:

Your brother in Christ,

Hi sentipente,

You will be happy to know that you don't need to read a complete book of Ellen G. Whites writing to be able to compare her writings with the Bible. There are many Sabbath School Lessons that have been/will be posted with only text from the Bible used for regular study. Many of the additional study helps for each day, however, will contain writings from the pen of E.G.W. on that same subject.

Respectfully,
Doc

sentipente,

I had posted the following because many have not read, or possibly don't own any of Ellem G. White's books. The additional S.S. Lesson Study Helps often contain portions/passages that are directed toward the same topic as the lesson.
ALSO: For anyone who has not read the writings of Ellen G. White, these lessons, and their helps, will give you some excellent insight into her writing.
In your next post you said;
"So many books, so little time."
I then followed with;
You will be happy to know that you don't need to read a complete book of Ellen G. Whites writing to be able to compare her writings with the Bible.

Many of the additional study helps for each day, however, will contain writings from the pen of E.G.W. on that same subject.
I thought that I was simply following a logical train of thought. And now you ask?
What's this about comparing EGW's writings with the Bible? Why do you think that is a sufficiently significant issue that you should raise it here?"
My original post was prompted because statements have made in the past that some here in this forum have not read, or do not own, any of E.G.Ws. work. At the same time there are those here in this forum who do not accept E.G.W. as an inspired writer and cast doubt on her and her writings. Here a comparison can be made without reading a complet book or looking up every applicable text on the topic under discussion.

Sorry, I forgot that you had told me you don't havea Bible.

Respectfully,
Doc

Hi Annie,

What you say is correct when speaking about most horeses and some humans. However in the case of humans there is sometimes the need to remind them of what is available.

By the way, while I don't know who all is included in the count, there have been several thousand "hits" on the SS LESSON DAILY STUDY GUIDES since they were introduced. So I guess I'll just keep plugging away posting and reminding. It's just possible that someone will be blessed as a result.

Respectfully, your friend and brother in Christ,
Doc

If you have not been to the SS Lesson Daily Study thread for this week, 2/2-2/8/08 for Sabbath Feburary 9, in the Bible Study Sub-Forum, then you need to do so! There you will find a link to Central Study Hour. Click the link and enjoy Sabbath School LIVE complete with song service. You will hear Pastor Steve Allread, Youth Pastor at Sacramento Centeral Seventh-day Seventh-day Adventist Church, present the SS Lesson for today, 2/9/08. This presentation should be heard every Seventh-day Adventist!

Respectfully, your brother in Christ,
Doc
