Who is adventist....

[StormyOne]

For the record you have not read where I condoned the consumption of alcohol. I asked what did the forum think of the text where God told his people to turn the tithe into money, go buy whatever they wanted and have a party in his honor.....

 

[HoneyDew]

Stormy, could you increase your font size?

 

[StormyOne]

Stormy, could you increase your font size?

Okay... wasn't sure how big it was....

 

[Cliff2]

Statrei, are you Adventist?

I have the same icon as "NeverADullMoment".

If I could change it to the Adventist one I would but am not up on computers enough at this stage to do that.

It comes up as "Christian Seventh-day Adventist"

I am sure anyone can at least do that to their profile.

 

[SassySDA]

you should be able to change it on that first page of your "profile". There's a place where you mark your denomination there.


Hang on....let me go check and see if I can do it before I tell someone else to, lol.

Takes foot out of mouth...I checked and I didn't see where you can change it on that page....I suggest asking or pm'ing either PaleHorse or TrustAndObey...if anyone knows where and how to change it, Pale does.

That is, if you really want the SDA icon. If not, forget I said anything. lol

 

[smooze]

you have to Pm a mod to change it. Thanks. Oh BTW Stormy if you felt i was attacking you i wasn't. The rules state non-SDA are not to debate. GOD bless. I also commun with non-SDA...WE are ALL equal in Christ Jesus sight. AMEN

Thank you Jonathan. I found everything that was on there when I first signed up, BUT denomination. So I figured you had to go through a mod to do it, but didn't want to give him wrong info AGAIN. :o lol

 

[Airdude]

TrustAndObey is right, the rules do state you need to have your Adventist hat on, to "discuss" issues on this thread.

I think we would all do well to follow this simply so that we can be sure that we know who we are talking to. I do have a question about this though. Is there any method of verifying somones faith? For example is there anything to prevent somone from diplaying SDA, Catholic, Baptist, or whatever icon they want just so they can more easily debate a particular group?

No, unfortunately there isn't. The only way to tell is if someone agrees with the fundamental beliefs of a church, but maybe disagrees with subjects that aren't fundamental. When someone obviously has a problem with the fundamental beliefs of a church you have to wonder WHY they're in it. They made that choice, we didn't.

Me....yes I am adventist (baptized at 9), as were my parents, and their parents (on my father's side), and their parents (paternal great grandmother), who knew egw and kellogg and other pioneers... My great grandmother was Lottie C. Blake who was a medical missionary doctor, the 1st black adventist woman to be a medical missionary doctor. Kellogg helped finance some of her education so its told... I went through adventist grade school, academy and college. In fact studied religion/theology in college. So yes, I am more adventist than many can "boast." As an adventist I have earned the right to ask any question I want regarding adventism...


I find it interesting that I have been here less than a week and because I have chosen not to use the adventist icon I have been accused of being a non-adventist...... and I suspect if I had not said anything at some point some would have gotten rude...


So let me ask, are we that concerned about symbols that we cannot be kind? If I were just a christian seeking answers and clarification is this the impression you would want me to remember? As I said before in another thread, the old adventists had no problem discussing, dissecting, and re-evaluating their beliefs.... we seem to shy away from that and just want to confirm what we believe.... the questions I have asked are questions that any thinking person would ask...

What are we afraid of? And what prevents us from being kind?

Just some things to think about... in my opinion....

And I thought not wearing my Adventist Icon made me unique.......

 

[StormyOne]

And I thought not wearing my Adventist Icon made me unique.......

maybe it does, but initially all it did for me was cause folks here to see me as "the enemy..." oh wait, some still think I am the enemy.... nevamind....LOL

 

[Untamed Fire]

Wow a zombie thread resurrect!

I believe all 28, but I must read them "my way" to do so. So where does that leave me; am I "traditional" or "progressive"? Maybe I am the bridge between them. Hey don't tread on me!

 

[JonMiller]

I suspect msot Adventists fall under that heading.

All interesting but irrelevant. Paul has you beat by a long shoot and he calls it dung. So, your conclusion doesn't follow from the flawed premises.

Tha's the function of a bridge.

I would answer, but there is no point... thank you for sharing....

 

[djconklin]

Truth would have answer, if I was wrong.

 

[StormyOne]

you are wrong. If you looked at when this thread was started, and what I was being accused of at the time, then the thread makes sense.... at that time there were those here accusing me of not being an adventist and questioning my right to even question adventism....

I want to thank whoever resurrected this thread. When the polls started going up I told my sister she needed to come here and vote, but she couldn't remember her username. She could remember what her password was tho.

I found her in this thread. I started reading and thought to myself "that sounds like something my sister would say. Wait, that was my sister."
