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.
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.
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 thought Free was still on the official SDA roles?

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...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.
He is a full-fledged member of this forum as far as I am concerned.
you are as much a member here as I... yeah I know thats not saying a whole lot given the fact that some have made it clear that they don't particularly appreciate my presence, but hey... such is life..... Your presence here makes this a better place Free, and that indeed is the truth...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...

Stormy and Sophia, thank you both as well.For what it's worth, coming from a now complete "apostate" in their eyes, I echo these thoughts.
I like you, but I'm sure that doesn't count for much.... LOL!Stormy and Sophia, thank you both as well.
From the sounds of it you'd think I was in here teaching Satanism.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.

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!I like you, but I'm sure that doesn't count for much.... LOL!
Now I don't feel special anymore!I like everyone here (pretty much) !!!
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.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?
I have the feeling we have similar senses of humor.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!

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!)
So you feel sorry for me too!? LOL!I have the feeling we have similar senses of humor.
LOL! That's about what it has been like!I'm reporting you al for reporting a report about reports ...and that's that!

If he is--he shouldn't be--he denounces the SDA doctrines with venom.I thought Free was still on the official SDA roles?

When did lifting up Christ alone for salvation become 'venom' to you? You should re-think your position!If he is--he shouldn't be--he denounces the SDA doctrines with venom.
