That is so weird. So they are an offshoot of the SDA church? Their calender is very hard to figure out. The Sabbath is on a different day each week? Or it moves around month to month? Did the Jews supposedly do this way back when? Did Jesus rest on a Sabbath that moved around or was it the same day every week?

Quite fascinating.

Awesome. One thing I remember very well about being an Adventist was no matter how hardcore Adventist you were, there was always someone even more hardcore Adventist that said you were going to hell.

You basically have 15 million people fighting over 144,000 spots. You may be in the exclusive remnant church, but you still have to be the cream of the crop to obtain salvation!

I don't think SDA's buy into the 144k thing....
...I think that's the JW's - but I could be wrong.

There is a direct correlation between how hardcore an Adventist you are and how likely you are to believe in a literal 144k. I don't think EGW takes a firm position on it, so there is a wide range of opinion.

My SDA church, SDA grade school, and how I was raised SDA does not follow any limit on the number of people who can be saved. Why wouldn't God want all of his children saved anyway? I am familiar with it from learning about other churches, but it is not a SDA doctrine that I am aware of.

Sorry I have not read anything about the IDL change, I just wanted to comment on the limit.

Thanks for sounding off Huusoku...
...The I.D.L. is sort of a big deal for the SDA Church at this present time.

yeah, I remember that too...

We had those who were deep into EGW, vegans and stuff, kinda seemed looking down upon newcomers, making them realize who climbed up the latter...

but even among those were disputes and divisions...

I knew one guy who was very heartless, even beat up his wife from time to time if she disagree with his agenda, in the end they got divorced...

the most interesting thing was that he always claimed to be the only true believer in the local congregation, that was because many people had different opinions on certain matters...

in retrospect, I regret having wasted my time with them... cause you dont get to know people right away, it takes time... precious time...

Good thing Christ doesn't feel that way about us, eh?

I thought we were to attain to His character? Pray for the gift of His Spirit be mainifest in us?

I'm sure this forum knows all about the issue about the I.D.L. effecting SDA's....
....That JUST went into place not a month ago.
....These SDA's have created a video about it.

Comments?

International Date Line Change: The Sabbath Unchanged? - YouTube

WLC is doing a wonderful service in bringing these things to light.

I find it a bit ironic that these references are mostly being brought to attention on this particular board by a Roman Catholic, given what is believed about that church by SDA.

Generally - what I believe about this, and other related information is:

We are being warned. Like a John the Baptist's voice that reaches across the whole world through the internet.

Ellen does say that 144,000 in number. However, that 144,000 are those who will be "translated" at the end of time. Those who will not see death. They will have gone through the one year period after the close of probation and live without sin. The rest who would not be able to go through that time will have been put to sleep prior to Christ's coming.

the one year period?

could you enlighten me? I think |I must have missed something...

is this one year period biblical?

We are all in a world that is in the prison of sin. The job of this ministry is to help people live free. To break the bonds of the prison of sin and live in the freedom of righteousness in Jesus. Love in Jesus.

So it is a metaphorical prison? The jcpm website shows actual people in prison so it is kind of confusing. Are you guys part of the international date line group?

The video in the OP is from this group:

Bible Prophecy | Online Bible Studies | Videos | WorldsLastChance.com

webjcpm seems to be here advocating for them.

i visited both of their websites and it is quite a lot of information to try to take in so i thought i would ask for a quick clarification. sorry.

Sorry for coming off so harsh Kira... what makes you think the prison ministry guy is advocating for Worlds Last Chance? maybe I missed something but I went to his site and it's just a prison ministry website. The guy is actually doing a wonderful work in reaching these men... Jesus would be pleased with this one.

Kira,

Our ministry only promotes Jesus and His truth. We do not promote any man-made group or opinion. Jesus and Jesus only. We will support any person or group who teaches Jesus and Jesus only. All God's children are to support and stand behind each other as we stand up for Jesus and Jesus only. No divisions in God's camp. No nit picking. No negative. Let us stand up for Jesus and His teachings. Matthew 28:20

Just for curiosity sake, do you keep the 4th commandment?
