Division by 2

[GuardianShua]

You know when you divide by 2 and keep repeating the proscess the numbers keep getting smaller. If Christians keep dividing, they will lose the strength of a whole number.

True. But nothing divided by two equals nothing. Ironically, the same is true of infinity. Much ado about nothing. "But with God nothing shall be impossible."

So what do you suggest? That SDA's compromise the truth? Do we give in the liberal offshoots?

Doesn't scripture ask the question, 'what does light have to do with darkness"? Can two walk together unless they agree?

What exactly DO you suggest?

This is now past curious. I keep hearing about truth and compromise but am yet to see what truth is being compromised. There was mention about EGW but it is clear from the 28FB that the church only considers EGW's writings as a source of truth, meaning that they are not automatically considered to be truth. What is being compromised?

I dont know about all the issues at hand, but I do know that we dont have to agree about everything to be saved. So long as they are not violating a commandment of God. Are they?

Yes, in fact they are. Numbers 1 & 10.

Do you know that the many of the liberal offshoots do not believe in the literal 7 day creation account? Also that you need not get baptised? I think these are pretty basic truths don't you?

 

[GuardianShua]

If you want to be counted with the elect in the first resurrection you need to be baptised. In regards to creation days; it has been taught for thousands of years that the creation days are epochs of time. Example: God said to Adam; in the day you eat of that fruit you will surly die. But yet, after Adam ate of that fruit, he continued to live for hundreds of years until he died. Epochs of Time. And no I dont believe in evolution. Genesis 1:1. In the beginning God created the heavens and THEN the earth. The word (then) is not in scripture, but you can see by the wording that the heavens were created before the earth was formed. When God came to it from where it was, it was a body of water without form. Then He caused land(ground)(Earth) to appear. And He called it heaven. It was not until the 17th or 18th century, that a literal day interpretation came about. In regards to Numbers 1 & 10 could you be more specific.

Basic truths to what? Everything is basic for something.

Everything is basic for something, but not (anything.)

honorthesabbath, I see that you are here and Im awaiting your reply.

I see two problems with your theory about ephochs of time. When God says, "and the EVENING and the MORNING were such and such DAY".

Each DAY had an evening and a morning indicating darkness and light. Now if your EPHOCHS are too LONG past 24 hours--then those life forms that are dependant upon light---DIE! Which means that He would have been constantly recreating the life that died waiting for the LIGHT to come back.

If we accept by faith that God created this world, then why should we disbelieve what He has revealed to us about the time He took to accomplish it? Someone could
object that the notion of God creating and resting according to the limitations of a sevenday human week militates against His very eternal and omnipotent nature. It is evident that Almighty God did not need geological ages nor literal days to create our world but only
the will to call it into existence (Ps. 33 :6).​

When then did those EPHODS become the 24 hour periods we observe today?

Also--except for prophetic DAYS--I see no other reference in scripture of a DAY being anything but a 24 hour period. As a matter of fact, the Hebrew word for day is YOM-which when accompanied by a number ALWAYS refers to a 24 hour period of time.

That is why I asked what are they basic for. Just saying they are basic does not help the discussion.

I think adam's spirit died on the day he ate of the fruit of that tree.

Jesus talks about spiritually dead ppl that are still alive physically. I can look up verses, but I'm not very fast.

Psalms 90:4. a thousand years in your sight are like a day. Hosea 6:2. on the third day he will restore us. Hebrews 4:7. Therefore again God set a certain day, calling it today--- ect, ect, ect. It,s a figure of speech. Anything is possible for God.
