Something tells me this is not a desire to protect a thread but to hide the truth from view. The purpose of the forum is to express progressive Adventist views.i would like to apeal to the mod to purge this thread. it is so off topic. the topic is changing the purpose of the forum. not a theological discussion

senti you are ridiclous, you can start a thread with the same disscussion some where else. you just love to argue and fight. it is a waste of time to talk and to argure, no learning has taken place,
Paul did not know the Creator better then I can. Thankfully he admitted that he only saw through a glass darkly.
The advantage of using humans as an example in this discussion about the Creator is because we are capable of being less than He is and that is good for illustrative purposes.
Humans are the center. We are the apple of His eye. He is willing to sacrifice His kingdom for us. How can you not be persuaded of how important the human race is.
Matt. 1:20 declares we are all His people "for He shall save His people" from their sins.
I do find it curious that when Christians find two passages that give conflicting messages they prefer to use the one that works against the interest of the entire human race. Why do we exhibit so much self-hatred when the Creator has declared how much He loves the entire race?
was there something magical about his blood?
Was sin so devastating that Christ could not save us while living?
Are we to believe that it took a God/human sacrifice to save humanity?
Questions like those are likely to get one branded as all kinds of things,
rather than being answered....
no you didn't answer any of the questions.... you repeated the traditional explanations.... that works for you, it's not working for me, but I believe we have covered this ground already...I'm not scared!
It was what the blood represented.
If God decreed it should be as such, but seeing He did not, then it had to be the blood.
Yes we are to believe it. The bible says in so many words, if you don't believe it, you have no blood, thus you have no life. Plain and simple.
By whom?
I just did and I did not brand you all kinds of things.

AT, try doing some independent thinking instead of simply becoming an expert in previously digested intellectual property. You may find it liberating.
AT, he asked you if there was something magical about his blood and your response was "It was what the blood represented." How is that an answer to the question? Are you saying that the magical thing was what the blood represented or that the blood represented that it was magical? What is the answer?
Evidence works wonders in these matters. You have no inherent authority here. I will gladly review your evidence as soon as you provide them.sentipente...sentipente....sentipente. Do you think your thinking is independent? If so you are in for a rude awakening, you are in bondage.

If I am not qualified to review his evidence I am certainly not qualified to consider his conclusions.How do we know that you are qualified to review his evidence?
Remember now...it was you who wrote that posting asking for answers....If its not the answer you want, then thats fine, but don't tell me I did not answer when I did. A answer is nothing more than a reply to a question.

A reply that you have answered a question merely by saying you answered the question or because you simply responded by making another post is not a reasoned argument. Nor is it respecting the other person to say that merely a reply is an answer to a question.Non-members may debate here, but we ask that those wishing to discuss present the reasons for your ideas rather then the traditions which may have informed your ideas. Even though various church traditions may have merit, they are to be used as secondary or supporting material for a reasoned argument. Whether you are arguing from faith or from logic or some combination thereof, respect the other person's point of reference, and address the post topic rather than the posting member.
I can't believe this comes from someone who wishes to be taken seriously. Shameful. If that's your view then you are not here to engage intelligent discourse.A answer is nothing more than a reply to a question.

Rather like when a person is asked a question and they say "huh" There you go answered.
I hope our children never hear this that an answer is nothing more then a reply to a question.
But teacher I wrote something down, it may not be what you wanted but I answered the question with that little squiggly line.
AT this is our Forum Specific guideline, as we don't have a lot of rules you especially should try to abide by this rule:
A reply that you have answered a question merely by saying you answered the question or because you simply responded by making another post is not a reasoned argument.
Nor is it respecting the other person to say that merely a reply is an answer to a question.
I have learned not to expect much from you but this is certainly a new low.

That is what happens when you try to be cute. You were not asked to give an answer. You were asked to answer the question. That requires one to address the issues raised in the question. Certainly you understand that.And yet that is what an answer is...a reply.
