Thats the exact same thing I wonder about you... why are you here. The things we as Adventists have in common are not truth to you.

The hypocrisy and hubris in your statement is astounding...
The bible is truth to me
You have not presented any argument against my posts only attacks on my character. I refuse to be intimidated by you or any untactful approach.

My opinion of your conduct in these threads needs little backing, your own words have betrayed your true spirit...

Your question is a scam, it has a motive to undermind the truth of the Gospel.
I'm not amused because I spend days researching your myths.
Obviously, one type of people will follow commentary that abuses the word of God.
Sabbatarians use every opportunity to take words out of context that appear to support the ten commandments.
God is not interested in you sabbathkeeping ceromonies

So, just doing a brief look at your comments we see that you consider our beliefs to be a scam that undermines the gospel, that Adventist faith is a myth, that we abuse the Word of God by our beliefs, that we are dishonest and are deceptive and manipulate the Word and that we are greiving God by our beliefs. WOW!!

Here's a quote from a question on trolling...

Occasionally an established member appears to be trolling to cause disruption;in which case, staff will review the report and come to a consensus about a possible violation and action.

I have already contacted the admins and voiced my concerns without mentioning your name... I was instructed to lodge a formal complaint to have the issue dealt with. This is not my desire to do this. All I ask is that you respect the fact that you are in an Adventist forum and that we have our beliefs, irregardless of what you think of us.


The fact we haven't 'debated' as you call it is because I came in to this forum to fellowship with fellow believers and all I was seeing was this poster named Cribstyl bullying the other posters, mocking their beliefs, calling our faith a scam and a sham. As you so aptly put it in another post of yours 'not on my watch'... well Mr.Cribstyl, these are my brothers in Christ and I will not stand by and let their faith be attacked 'on MY watch'.

It's not written in the New testament that Gentiles are to keep the Sabbath. So if someone is saying that Sundays are not commanded, it's equally a non issue to promote as a teaching from the scriptures. Offering $10000.00 to find Sabbath or Sunday commanded is disingenuous if the bible is silent.
Saying it's a scam is to reject it as coming from the word of God.

This is not an attack on SDA

Yes, I spend days preparing a response to chatter from K4c threads with no followup to my responses. This is not an attack on SDA




Obviously, one type of people will follow commentary that abuses the word of God.
I dont recognize this statement...

Sabbatarians use every opportunity to take words out of context that appear to support the ten commandments.
Yes I've said that, because I've research every text posted. I notice you did the same with the word "commandments" from John's Gospel and 1John and Rev to mean the ten commandments. These books distinguishes the commandment known as Christ's commandments and never the ten commandments.

God is not interested in you sabbathkeeping ceromonies
taken out of context to slam me
What kind of spirit are you operating under? If I did not combine these partial statement you're out of line to import them from other threads.

You're doing a hatchet job on my character.

WOW!!
Did I say that "Adventist faith is a scam that undemine the gospel," or did I tell a person that "your question is a scam that undermined the gospel?

Did I say Adventist faith is a myth?



I'm not here to slam SDA like that, you out of order.

Your accusations are fabricated, Who's faith did I call a scam and a sham? The truth is I love SDA members.

My understanding (current) is that of the pioneers and based on the foundations and pillars of our faith. Millers dream of the dirt brush man illustrated the concept perfectly how the truths of Adventism would be scattered and buried as time went on.

BTW -- I'm not entirely sure that every SDA would agree with our new friend's perspective on SDAism.

Well, I dont expect to hear anything new.

Besides agression and insults, I've seen some of the same old talking points, that ignors context of scriptures to raise only arguments.

Thats what I don't get Cribstyl, if your not getting what you are seeking on here, why are you here? Perhaps the other Adventist forum may offer you what you need.

If you think you will change the fact that Adventists believe the SOP to be inspired and therefore worthy or doctrine, and that we have our understanding of the Bible based on a set of well defined rules of interpretation, it ain't gonna happen.

What is it you are seeking? To change us or ???

You need to calm yourself dude. I recognize I'm in an Adventist forum. I have not attacked SDA or anyone as you've fabricated thus far.

Liberal Adventism is definiely at odds with the understanding and beliefs of the pioneers.

I agree. I've seen it play out time and time again. I was for decades a member of a historic SDA congregation. A few exits up the highway there was a "celebration church." There was real warfare between the two congregations. For many months, there were regular viewings of John Osborne videos in the basement of my local SDA church. The atmosphere was rather toxic and it was became a real problem for some of the newer members.

After becoming employed by the denomination, I had an opportunity to move out of that environment and into different types of SDA communities. I am grateful for these experiences as they offered me a glimpse into other worlds within SDAism.

Like many denominations, SDAism is a mixed bag.
