  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

mmksparbud,

I agree with your above post and I do my best not be rising up and being defensive.

It is a hard row to hoe as self keeps urging retaliate but as true Christians we take
Stop right there.
Lying in deference to evidence already submitted to you just doesn't cut it anymore.

<snip> We're continually told we don't keep the Sabbath that we proclaim to keep<snip>
You've rejected the Law's requirements for the Sabbath, and none of you have furnished a commandment for the unholy rendition you've replaced it with. This has been explained to you at least a dozen times.

Oh, Scratch! And you don't have a vendetta? I find the church of Adventists should have taken more with EG White of the council she gave them.

That's right I don't. The SDA have done me no spiritual nor physical harm. I've never been an SDA either. I'm also not responding in an emotional state. Yeah I pretty sure you're SDA. You can deny that all you want.

You are welcome to check their book of membership and you will find I am not in it. I do know Adventism theology well as I do many of the denominations as I made a thorough study of many to see if I could be a part.

Adventism fell away after 1888 and left off in continuing reform. Reform for all of us must be a continuing program.

Then are you really a professional shill (troll)? You're defending them way to much for me and others to believe there's not a connection of some sort.

Scratch, Adventism does come in the closest to what I find to be truth and some Adventists are seeing close to what I am and wondering what to do.

I work on several Adventist forums and they are not with me on much, mainly on the new theology that has come in.

On troll, I see that a lot of threads turn into a troll as many continue with the same old same rhetoric time and again.

I find there is times a repeat is needed but when it is seen it is being ignored it is time to put in furthering admonition or drop out.

I have yet to see you stop repeating and drop out and don't think you will either I also don't think that you are here to speak your piece and move on. We see you as just another adventist preacher on another old stale soapbox harping away the same old stale rhetoric that really has no place in mainstream Christianity. You hope beyond hope you can land someone who doesn't have an iota of logical sense to read all the arguments here and fall for this legalist hocus pocus pulling the Sabbath out of a hat and placing it upon the heads of Christians so they too can join the tiny crowd of those condemning us here for our unwillingness to adhere to a practice that is wholly tied to Judaism and nothing else.

That does not mean it is a duck...........

It may be something that looks and quacks like a duck.....

Have you ever played the game "duck, duck, goose"?
It certainly means it needs to be investigated for its duckness and rejected if it is as such. If you hear a quack like a duck are you going to think it is a chicken at first thought?

What a curious statement. What happened in 1888 with regard to Adventist theology? Oh, my...

This was when E. J. Waggoner influenced the SDA pioneers into accepting the doctrine of the trinity. In other words, this is when the SDA "church" transitioned from their Arian roots to a Trinitarian heterodox sect just a little bit closer to Christianity.

In other words, modern Adventism doesn't suit your preferences as well as when it was a full-blown cult. So what really suits you? The SDA sister in origin, the Jehovah's Witnesses? Or maybe one of the SDA offshoots, such as the Branch Davidians or Shephard's Rod?

This adds to the Biblical illiteracy you bring to the forum in causing us to question your nauseating and unsupportable claims whenever you apply "true christians" to yourself.

And, you are not responding with a defense for any of the nonsense you postulate on this forum.

I came from a MJ background myself. None of us are going to entertain your straw man argument that the Sabbath was changed to another day (excluding devotees to the Too Long in the Sun pamphlet rife with the same errors you adhere to). Becoming more aware of the extent of the Gospel's message of redemption causes me to look upon your bewilderment over the Sabbath being a 'thorn' as another fallacy when we look at the Law describing who and when the Sabbath was given to. It doesn't include you. This reminds me of my very first post to you, which you could never respond in kind to:

You do realize that Ellen White was a false prophet who condemned herself with her various theological statements, don't you? Did you know she 'prophesied' about a third covenant to be made with people God declared don't exist, passing over God's redeemed in the new covenant (the second covenant) altogether?

People just need true and solid thus saith the Lord that Sabbath that He changed it, Sabbath to Sunday. Solid ground is needed on this to stand on!

Repeating this worn-out straw man doesn't garner sympathy. You need to show that the former shadow was resurrected with the old covenant it was part of before it could be changed. Existence is a prerequisite to change.

I agree, instead of proving the Sabbath was for Christians they try and go in the back door equating Sunday "observance" is the Sabbath then they say it is wrong because it is not Saturday. I see no biblical reference to Sunday being akin to the Sabbath to begin with such that you could play leapfrog over it to get back to Saturday.

The leap frog jumping was getting from Sabbath to Sunday don't you think?

A monster leap from the end of the week to the front of it!
