Originally, this thread was posted to vent my frustration with what is going on in here concerning the attitude of certain people.

But after receiving admonition from a concerned Christian, I realized that it was not productive in drawing people closer to Christ.

So I want to change it.

Let's think of ways that we can better share Christ's love with each other. In fact, let's use this thread to share our experiences with each other, to share how Jesus has impacted our lives, thus demonstrating that we do love Him.

let's make this the anything about Jesus thread! How about that?

You can post daily, weekly, or even monthly! But let's make this thread all about encouraging each other. We can share our struggles, our prayers, and most importantly, our love!

Please, let's leave the issues out of this one. let's make this one all about fellowship! All about Jesus!

You're right! Jesus is Jesus, he can say whatever he likes!

It just so happens, Jesus has said we're his remnant church yayness. If anyone wishes to learn more, please go here



Jesus wrote revelation (by inspiring John, of course ) and in it he calls us his remnant church.

So, whats wrong with us calling ourselves the remnant church?

I am new here, but isn't there already a post for this general thought? For that matter, wasn't there one before that was now locked (just as I got all excited about posting there [font=verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucida grande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif])

In any case, I don't stress some disagreement. If the truth is true, it will show.

HOW have I displayed this?

You've been constantly telling me, that by saying we're the remnant church, it is bad! But then you tell me that its not!

I am so dang confuzeled -.-

I thought my manner wasn't bad at all... I was trying to be friendly and... O_O

I've got to go sleep over at a friends house soon, as sabbath has set. Well, we'll have to continue this at another date, I'm afraid unless someone else is willing to (and there probably is) continue this discussion with you I'll be reading it with earnest interest.

This isn't pride.

If Jesus said this, why can't we call ourselves the true church?

What are we supposed to say we are to people who ask?

If someone asked, does your church teach the truth, what are you going to say?

I think you should tell the truth.

Truth can be found in the Bible and I believe the SDA Church at this stage best represents what is written in the Bible.

I did see what you are talking about. That is why I said this is the third post about this. Why was this post necessary?

You will also note that I responded on that thread in general agreement with you. But right now this thread is just fueling fire for no good purpose.

I think its a shame, that we are considered proud if we call ourselves the true church.

Why is it that stating a fact is considered a crime...? -.-

This is because the most we can call ourselves is a denomination. We are not the Christian church. We are only a part of the Christian church. By definition, therefore, it cannot be correct to call ourselves the true church.

You are correct; and thank you for sharing this with me.

I appreciate you for this.

It's been a long time since someone got me so heated over theological issues, so my emotions got the best of me.

But yes, this thread is non-productive in drawing people closer to Christ.

I wish I knew how to delete posts. I guess we don't have that option.
