  • 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.

Why do people like Seventh-day Adventist and Adventist doctrine?

...and you really are of the opinion of yourself that the academics haven't and cannot refute such vanity?
Jealousy gets you nowhere, chum. As conspicuously is apparent.
Academics? Scholars?

A Seventh-day Adventist . . . who could have guessed ...

This is self incriminating, it reveals you. I am a seventh day Adventist only in the sense that I expect the immanent return of Christ and I believe nothing has changed regarding the Law. The SDA has 28 defining beliefs and I do not know what they are; about 35 years back when I had a relationship with the SDA there was 4 things an SDA must believe and I didn't believe two of the four.

You asked me to show you where any unrepentant sinner gets to be with God. If you want to discuss the subject I will. But firstly you would have to answer a question.

Have you from your heart surrendered your life to Christ. Is he your Lord, master and saviour. Have you turned your back on desiring a life of sin and chosen a life following after Christ?( that doesn't mean you have to be sinless BTW)
If you don't want to answer, absolutely no problem, we will just leave it at that

The fourth kingdom was Rome and it was he kingdom Jesus was bourn into; in Revelation we have the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth beast but when referring to all the beasts "he" is Satan; maybe you are not interested.

From my experience few actually know their churches full statement of faith. Just the parts they glean from sermons( I havent been to churches where creeds are recited)

What would you call a covenant where Christ died in your place for your sins?

The name or type of the Covenant is blood covenant, which means when the covenant is broken the shedding of blood is required, normally the blood of the one who breaks the covenant is shed. Jesus is the Lamb of God since the foundation and all the lambs sacrificed were surrogates for Christ; Christ's blood extends from the foundation to the Kingdom of God. The shedding of blood is not the covenant, at least not exclusively; the covenant is that which has been broken and anyone who hasn't broken the covenant has no need of Christ's blood and one can not break the covenant unless he is signatory of the covenant. If we are having an argument it cannot go anywhere because we have no common point of reference. Covenant of grace is an oxymoron, covenant is law and grace is lawless which combine to produce lawless law.

You seem to be suggesting that I see myself as an authority but I am just having a conversation.

I do not follow Paul, I follow the true Sheppard. I don't know that Paul wrote Hebrews. Hebrews is not a universal document it is a private communication which leaves us to imagine the context. To Jews the writer of Hebrews says, "it wasn't your fault, the Law failed."

Jesus made it very clear that the Jews failed, not necessarily all of them.

Matthew 23:37-38 (NKJV)
37 "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing!
38 See! Your house is left to you desolate;

What you and maybe Paul are calling changes to the Law are difference in administration and application; remembering SDA teaching the sanctuary service is a copy of that in heaven; changing the Law would make Christ's Priesthood illegitimate as well as the rest of His priesthood (us) illegitimate.

You say you're no academic / scholar!? Well if difficulty in understanding him is the litmus test for an academic / scholar, you must be one!

Changing the Sabbath to Sunday would be a bad thing.
The NT never says anything about circumcision being changed - there was never a time when gentiles were required to be circumcised - OT or NT.


Again you are following the wrong Shepard.

Genesis 17:13 (NKJV)
13 He who is born in your house and he who is bought with your money must be circumcised, and My covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.

Genesis 17:23 (NKJV)
23 So Abraham took Ishmael his son, all who were born in his house and all who were bought with his money, every male among the men of Abraham's house, and circumcised the flesh of their foreskins that very same day, as God had said to him.

Genesis 17:27 (NKJV)
27 and all the men of his house, born in the house or bought with money from a foreigner, were circumcised with him.

Christ's new covenant is made with the lost sheep of Israel and extended to Gentiles; gentiles who enter into the covenant are not different than Israel and are Israel, purchased from foreigners with Christ's blood which is better than money. Besides gentiles are mostly descendent of Ishmael who was included in the covenant of circumcision.

If any of God's laws could be changed God would loose His credibility; there would be no end to change.

But scholars did the translation!

You can be sure about that! THE best of the best and shrewdest of -- Christian -- scholars! The biggest complot of Bible scholars and the longest and most intense of review committees etcetera for any Bible translation ever. You can be sure they made very sure of every word and phrase and sentence! Most certain where Jesus' Last Passover of Yahweh Suffering is concerned! Sure that you read the GIANTS in the earth's last days' version, and that the humanistic churches were taken for spouses!

At that time, Jesus full of joy through the Holy Spirit said.
I praise you Father, Lord of Heaven and earth for you have hidden these things from the wise and learned and revealed them to little children. Yes Father, for this was your good pleasure

BobRyan and SDA, HERE's why I personally, hate you, the SDA. Because you, are the Christian denomination that hammers on Daniel 7:25 but stop your ears from hearing about dozens of instances of the same CRIME against God's Word in specific Scriptures which I have been pointing out to the world including the SDA church for years.
But both the SDA and the whole of the rest of the churches have in their arsenal and have harnessed the invincible weapon and counter strategy to squash this miserable mosquito with, Flat ignore him dead!

Well, I was born and brought up and baptised a SDA. Today I believe everything regarding the Law changed in Jesus Christ through his Resurrection from the dead on the Sabbath Day. Today the SDA have how many 'fundamental beliefs' plus every conceivable and inconceivable new stuff I'm not familiar with even in the least. All that I today know about the SDA church is that they are JUST ANOTHER Christian denomination, and that they are the head-strongest of them all when it comes to CHANGE in 'fundamentals' and or anything else.
No friend, I am a Calvinist Reformed Protestant believer, no SDA, and I dare these Christians that I am a Dopper without permission whether they like it or not. My allegiance is with them against all odds and protestations. They will have to sit up with me and what I have written over many years until Jesus returns.
