Senti might have better dealt with such comments as the above which apparently don't realize that Horeb and Sinai are the same place.
Obviously, you have not read any of my posts in this thread, which explains the lack of relevance of your responses to me.

I was responding to what you said to me. I believe I quoted it also. As you are probably one of the poorest communicators we have on this forum I grant that I may not have known what you meant but I don't think I responded incorrectly to what you did say. It may not have been what you wanted to say but that is not up to me.

Of course, not all Biblical scholars agree that Horeb and Sinai are the exact same place right RC?

"In certain biblical passages these events are described as having transpired at Mount Horeb, but though there is a small body of opinion that Sinai and Horeb were different locations,[2] they are generally considered to have been different names for the same place."

I have no problem being part of that "small body."
In fact no one knows where either Horeb or Sinai are, so that is hardly relevant to the comment you made.

I certainly can't fault you on your gallant efforts. How frustrating must be the feeling?

Could someone walk me through what the main differences between progressive SDA and SDA is?

Does progressive (s) accept the Trinity whereas the other does not?
Nope--you have it backwards. The progressives deny most of what Adventism teaches. I mean--lol--look at the name of this thread--does it sound like the progressives support the church?

I thought regular SDA's rejected the Trinity? Several years ago I asked that question to one and based from his (and his wife's answer) I was certain at least they did.

I asked if Mary was the mother of God. They both said "no". They could have been progressive I guess.

SDA's reject the non-Christian trinity of God the Father, God the Mother and God the Son which is prevalent in Catholicism.

Godhead is a much better term seeing it is actually used in scripture. the three Greek words used to describe the Godhead all stem for the same root word, theios.

Is Mary the mother of God?

Not in the sense that you and other Catholics make her out to be. Maternally, from the human standpoint, Mary certainly was Jesus' mother. Yet Jesus existed and lived with the Father long before Mary was born. Mary is not the mother of Christ's nature within the Godhead. That nature existed before Mary.

In much the same way that King David knew Jesus was His Lord and Israels future King, even though Jesus was a "son of David," Mary knew that she was subordinate to Jesus in every aspect, even though she was 'maternally' His mother.

Mary was neither sinless nor without 'original' sin. Mary was used by God because of her great faith and obedience to the Word of God and His instruction and commandment. Just as other sinful mortals have been used by God to fulfill His great plan of redemption to end the great controversy Mary was used by God as well.

Mary has not ascended to Heaven to take part in the co-redemption of man nor is Mary a mediator with her Son between God pleading for the lost souls in purgatory. Mary is asleep in the Lord, awaiting His soon arival to this sin sick world and her resurrection into the newness of everlasting life.
