  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I do appreciate that step. And as I said before, I don't have a problem with discussing issues in the church. But the mission of the church is not to warn other Adventists. We need to be about the mission first and foremost.

Well, I don't know what the mission is for the church(organization). I don't really care. The Bible tells us we must be ready and preach the message. So that's two hold.

But the Bible doesn't tell us that we are supposed to preach only to other Adventists.

yeah i heard bout sumtin like dat we arent a cult u should have reported them and we're not going 2 hell because we woship on the sabbath and plus all denominationz except the satanic 1 r going 2 heaven
A simple answer is from Jesus 'they will persecute you in my name'.

And 'reply yea, nah. Anything else is the evil one'.

So expect persecution, keep it yea nah, and love the person trying to wind you up. If you show and think Love to the person then I am sure the devil will run away.

key is devil wants fights and hate. Lets just love everyone.

I didn't say preach only to Adventists. But we must warn 'our own' people.

Ezekiel 33 tells us the watchman must warn/sound the trumpet over the house of Israel. If the watchman does his job, the blood of those who didn't listen will not be on his hand.

Indeed. And the watchman was appointed to speak to the Israelites.

We are to speak to every nation kindred tongue and people.

Each must attend to their mission. My point was that the thread was saying the GC was going soft on the Sabbath, pulling back.

So let's not wait on the GC to do the mission. If they are pulling back to start with.

Well, I think you should tell the person to ask the Roman Catholic church. The 'mother church' no longer considers SDA church a cult. The General Conference has made a deal with RCC in return for such, the SDA church officially will not push the 3 angel's message and the 'anti-catholic' teachings.

Who cares what anyone thinks? The bible says 'you will be hated by ALL men for my name sake'. Christ and His followers were considered a sect.
Are you serious?

What a sad sad day. :|
