This is not a debate forum, the rules are clear on this as seen below:
Forum-Specific Guidelines for the Traditional Adventist Forum

The Congregation-Wide Guidelines apply to this forum. They outline the basic membership and debate guidelines for this forum. Additional guidelines are explained below.

Additional guidelines on debate:

  • The main Traditional Adventist forum is a fellowship forum. Non-members may post in fellowship and Adventist members may give answers to questions asked, in accordance with official church statements and the 28 Fundamental Beliefs.Questions that are likely to lead to debate should be asked in the Debate/Discussion subforum.
In case anyone is not clear on what 'fellowship post' is this should make it quiet clear:





Definition of a Fellowship post in the forum
DEFINITION OF A FELLOWSHIP POST

1) It is not debate or apologetics (defense).

Those who disagree with a congregation’s Statement of Faith will not discuss reasons for or against any subject being discussed on this sub-forum. This includes questions that essentially are rebuttal or argumentative in nature. Those who disagree will not engage in theological discussions that defend their particular point of view on scriptural, theological, doctrinal, social, or political issues.

2) It is not answering questions or teaching.

Only a member of the congregational forum may give answers to and instruct on doctrinal questions. While there may be many very good ideas on the subject from non-members, they may not give instruction. Earnest questions are always welcome, from anyone.

3) What Fellowship is:

Essentially fellowship is defined as the discussion of topics of association, of companionship - i.e. discussions of things like friends, family, work..... these topics are fellowship. Posts that offer friendship would certainly be described as fellowship.

As long as Moriah's name remains on the rosters of the SDA church it still qualifies as an SDA member, sorry. If you wish this to change you may petition the general conference to strike its name from membership.

But not of this forum as you do not accept the SOF, thus...
Teaching by non-members is against the rules....

So, you agree that membership in this forum has nothing to do with being a member of the SDA denomination. You may be guilty of false advertising.

I wonder why I get the feeling that I am in some sort of twilight zone and or in another dimension..........

And I will not even get into the fact that MY OP has been shredded completely..........

Is it "me"?

Did a troll come by and kidnapped my OP?

I know I have been away for a while..............

I even know I had done so with a purpose............

Is this really the way a community interacts?

Maybe aliens do exist and I am one of them.............. :confused:

Where did the :love:go?

I must be missing a lot............

And you know what?

I rather like it that way.......

And YES........ I not only eat with and associate with and live amongst those "heathens"........ I love 'em and embrace 'em.......

Ejection seat theology is too comforting for some.


A darn shame if you ask me...........


Where would we be if we "all" had that notion..........

We seem to be like a lion wanting to mother an antelope......

We seem to have an innate need to eat each other because we seem different yet we like to show the world that we are experts at "getting along" in spite of our differences......

Funny thing..... The Creator said we ARE created to cohabitate no matter what our "insticts" say.........

Why would He say the lamb and lion shall lay together if HE did not mean it.....?

And we are suppose to be the "intelligent" ones....
