ANY favoritism done in this forum IS my concern and the concern of ALL the members in here--of which YOU are not one of them. GUESTS should keep many comments to themselves Free.

What the....:confused: :doh:

You know, I really do not get this. Free has shown himself to be one of the friendliest, most good-natured posters here, always Christ-centered and showing Christian charity and love to all, not to mention demonstrating three times the amount of patience I could ever show in response to attacks. Why he is so maligned, hounded and treated with such disdain by some I will never know. :sigh:

He is a full-fledged member of this forum as far as I am concerned.

I thought Free was still on the official SDA roles?

JM
Oh, I am! LOL! And I still hold valid SDA ministerial credentials and hold teaching credentials too. Because I don't agree with the ultra-conservative far right they don't think the credentials count, nor my membership in the SDA church, at least here on this forum.;)

I will be here to boast about Christ alone as long as God continues to lead me to do so. When he tells me it's time to move on, I'll move on.

Until then...

In Christ alone...

Thank you for your kind words Night. As long as there are believers lifting up Christ alone for salvation there will always be the voice of opposition trying to squelch it and add human action/behavior to salvation through faith in Christ alone. It's always been that way, and it will always be that way until Christ himself makes everything right. And HE will...

In Christ alone...

For what it's worth, coming from a now complete "apostate" in their eyes, I echo these thoughts.

Stormy and Sophia, thank you both as well.

From the sounds of it you'd think I was in here teaching Satanism. :eek: :confused: :doh: Who knew that directing others to Christ alone for salvation would bring about so much ridicule and hatred?!

I guess the history of the church (the ONE Christ started) shows that it's always been this way though.

In Christ alone...

I like you, but I'm sure that doesn't count for much.... LOL!

I like everyone here (pretty much ;)) !!!

I have said it before I would love to sit down with all of you (trads and progs and of course the apostates j/k) and enjoy a meal together, but now I am a bachelor that means I don't have to bring anything - right?

Oh, speaking of that, I imagine you already read this guy's story, but if anyone here has not it is quite relevant to your statement.
This preacher claims to have been PUT OUT of the ministry for preaching on nothing but righteousness by faith for 18 months.

Actually, coming from you it means a lot. I can detect the Spirit of Christ in you, even though we do not agree on SDA doctrines. That speaks VOLUMES!

Now I don't feel special anymore!:cry: LOL!

I have said it before I would love to sit down with all of you (trads and progs and of course the apostates j/k) and enjoy a meal together, but now I am a bachelor that means I don't have to bring anything - right?
There are a handful of trads that I would love to sit down with and study Scripture (and ONLY Scripture!) with. You're one of them. It would probably take more than just a meal to get anywhere though.

As far as being a bachelor (and NOT Batchelor! lol) it would be best if you didn't bring anything to eat. It would force us to eat it out of respect.;) (Paul would have eaten it! And not asked questions about what it was!)

I have the feeling we have similar senses of humor.

We need to learn to show love even for the unloveable, to show patient understanding even for the impatient, give kind words even in return for unkind words. If we cant even do the basics for our brother and sisters that Christ ask, how can we call ourselves followers........

Matthew 5

The Beatitudes

1Now when he saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him, 2and he began to teach them saying:
3"Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4Blessed are those who mourn,
for they will be comforted.
5Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the earth.
6Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be filled.
7Blessed are the merciful,
for they will be shown mercy.
8Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they will see God.
9Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they will be called sons of God.
10Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11"Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. 12Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

let me get this straight, you are claiming ownership of the progressive sub-forum?
Anything concerning this SDA FORUM I am a part of --yes. Including the sub-forum of the progressives since it (regretfully) is part of the MAIN SDA forum.

You don't OWN the forum.

That's right; Honor doesn't own the forum, nor does the Adventist Church. Lee Dodd owns all of CF, including the SDA forum and sub-forums.
