Kc4:

Oh I love it!!!:clap: That's the spirit and just remember one thing keep getting your message out and if they ask a negative question answer it. You see they really are helping you because there are others who may have doubt even within our doors but what is important is to remain firm and present only the Bible regardless. Hey I am black and boy my family and I have stubborn ways you just don't know. :D But relax take a deep breath call on the Savior and be open minded because both have asked legitimate questions even if it is not what we want to hear. BFA is a good person and left the SDA for reasons or decisions I disagree with but that is each ones choice. I hope and pray that both will see that Yahweh's laws are binding upon all men in all ages as well the universe. I pray that they can see as the sun goes down in the east and comes up in the west is a law created by the Most High that will not change until the Time of Trouble. I want both of them to see that we are a true loving people with wolves (not them) among us in our churches. I want to prepare for what's about to happen.

I also want SDA like my friend ECR and you to see the importance in studying and not clinging on to former errors that the church has taught like we are the remnant and about the beast, the papacy, false prophet, Islam spoken in Daniel Eleven and they are not a part of the Seven Trumpets! I want all to see that EGW was not a prophetess but was a messenger and to realize that there will be more like her and Hiram Edison in the last days according to Joel 2:28, 29 Acts 2:16-18 I want you to see that the Feast Days which includes the Seventh Day Sabbath (not the passover supper it was a day) are binding because they all belong to Yahweh and that is what He said. I want all to see that Paul was only saying that no one has the right to judge anyone for obeying and keeping those days. I want all to see the difference in EGW's when she said "thus said Yahweh" versus her opinions. I want all to see that she told us to check our resource diligently without scorn and realize just like doctors, historians, teachers and other professionals who have to continue to study to advance in their work. They have to recant or give up things they all once understood as they advance in learning. This same principle should apply to students of the Bible but we become uh oh stubborn!!! That is why there is so many religions and it is confusing to many who is right????:confused:

But the Bible says there is a way that is right if man would only accept it. Now this is how I see it and I am not very important. I not a big shot in the church even though I know a lot of them personally and went to school with them. The church knows me because I make what I speak here known openly with love. Yes, I am respected by many of my peers but they don't want to believe because of how it looks. But I am not giving up because I know thousands have not bowed their knees to Baal and that includes you. :prayer: Pray for me as I continue to pray for you. We live in the edges of time, Middle East is preparing for the kings of the East. Devastating things have happen like never before with all these tornadoes, and earthquake, racism hating a black president that Yahweh placed in the White House for these very times. I never seem so much hatred until now for a President like now even from those within our Church.:confused:

Finally I have never seemed so much hatred from the people who claim to love Yahweh and that is the Republican party. If we cannot see where this is going then something is wrong.

Believe me when I say I love those guys.
I appreciate that, K4C. I really do.

The stakes aren't so high. The Spirit is the one who convicts. That really isn't our job. The things I still need to know, He'll show me when He's ready. I trust the same is true for all of us.

I have always admired that you've never asked me to leave. That is key difference between you and some of your counterparts. SDAism is a part of who I am; it plays an integral role in my story. Thanks for leaving me some space to play in your sandbox.

I think the problem is that they're describing the elephant's tail and I'm describing the elephant's trunk but we're all describing the same elephant.
That could be.

Thanks for allowing for diverse points of view. I left the denomination after studying to prove to my brother-in-law that SDAism is correct. Suffice it to say it was an enlightening study. Unfortunately, my only SDA options were historic SDA churches. That isn't a setting in which I felt comfortable raising my young children. I respect the fact that others have reached a different decision and I would never wish to impose my decision on them. It's a very personal decision.

Amen... I believe religious man put more requirements on being saved than God does.

I believe Jesus is the one who saves. I also believe salvation is more a condition than it is a behavior. Many behaviors are motived by emotions and emotions are unstable. I believe sometimes our behavior needs time to catch up to our salvation.

I believe there is plenty of room in this sandbox for different expressions of loving God, as long as they all agree with me...only kidding baby!:p

I believe many of the discussions between believers are in-house debates even when it comes to the complicated Trinity doctrine. As long as our hearts are pure in seeking truth from God and we love one another. This takes no seminary degree.

I love you and I and praying for you because I feel your faith and youe disapointment in the SDA Church. Keep in mind it was SDAism that pushed you away and not the message. If I could show people that there is only one faith and not many and only one message we as SDA would act so much better. We have become SDAism instead of Bibleish. The Government of Yahweh is constant and unremovable. I know in my heart that you will be in the remnant crowd with me soon. I love you man pray for me.:wave:
