and argue their point of view in fellowship with no malice or bad intent.

While some others, it seems as if bitter hatred of the Adventist church, its institutions, its beliefs, is what drives their lives and purpose and engulfs them completely and they just want to tear it down.

Why is that?........

Logic and reasoning within the context of the Sacred Scriptures is far more able to have one consider another position...
...Than insult and injury - that simply drives a person deeper into the mental funk they are already in.

We should all talk kind to one another in order to learn or unlearn. Being angry never helps the matter. It saddens me about the Republican Party how they treat President Obama. They claim to be the Christian party but they show do not act like at all. I'm not saying you have to agree with his points of view. But why try to make everyone serve or believe the way you do and if they don't they are the antichrist. Racism and hatred is another questioning his birth that has never been done to any other white president. I got a little under the collar with someone but when I see that I am wrong, I apologize and ask to be forgiven. I also ask for pray because I need it. Well that's my two cents.:wave:

Blessings,

It's the following kind of stuff that's got Obama into the trouble he's been in....
...Had he been upfront there wouldn't have been a reason to dig.

Thanks! Personally I have known a whole lot of very sincere and wonderful Christians who are Adventists. There are many things about the denomination that are unique and kinda cool. :cool: At it's best the SDA church is a huge extended family of believers.

I like to see what you folks think about certain issues, and like to think I'm sometimes a reality check when I see statements I don't think are true. God bless!

I can't speak fo anyone else....

It's called the Love of God. If you've done it unto the least of these my brethen you have done it unto me.

May God give us all that Spirit of Oneness in Him.

I am considered an enemy to many in Adventism but I love them. Those that hate me tend to bring out the worst in us. We should be able to disagree and be christians..............

Don't play the martyr Crib, you have repeatedly violated forum rules and have gotten called on it. If you think I or any one else on here 'hates you' that speaks volumes to your victimization attitude.... for me to have that kind of emotional feeling towards you, I would need to know you personally. Even then, I wouldn't hate you, I just wouldn't associate with you...

So you also feel that the President is a fake and that's a shame. You have just made my point about judging others. Out of all the Presidents (by the way they are white), the first one who's mother is white, birth certificate is a fake. He is the only one vetted differently right? What a sad day that those who claim to love or treat one who do not believe as you do, look, as you do has to go through different set of rules. This is wrong and it is sad. :crossrc:

I will be praying for you,

Living in SDA circles all my life I found the Adventist Democrat to be a rare bird. I am kind of fascinated by them. I would guess stinsonmarri is thrilled that Obama came out in support of gay marriage this week.

I guess I definitely know a few. Most of them are in the "progressive Adventist" camp.

Supposedly we are at 50% for and against same sex marriage. How can we call ourselves a Christian USA when 1/2 of us go totally against what the Bible says? Doesn't it take 2/3 to enforce something?

I am not saying anything about not loving those that choose this life style but the Bible says:

Genesis 2:23-25


23 The man said,
“(A)This is now bone of my bones,
And flesh of my flesh;
[a]She shall be called [b]Woman,
Because [c]she was taken out of [d]Man.”

24 (B)For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh. 25 (C)And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed.



Cross references:
  1. Genesis 2:23 : Gen 29:14; Eph 5:28, 29
  2. Genesis 2:24 : Matt 19:5; Mark 10:7, 8; 1 Cor 6:16; Eph 5:31
  3. Genesis 2:25 : Gen 3:7, 10, 11
When we will say it's OK for rapists to do what they want to do? When will we say it's OK for Murders to do what they want to do(Oh I forgot we already do; abortion).

If asking and answering questions about christianity is my crime, I am guilty and will end up in another forum where I can have respectful dialogs.

I'm hoping that you wont assosiate with me.......... Reporting me for answering questions that you ask is as lowdown as it gets.
Live in peace.

As you like to say, don't get it twisted... you don't just answer questions Crib, you dispute and disrespect our faith in our own forum...

This is my experience as well. And "progressive" basically means they believe almost none of the SDA teachings. It is more a tradition than a religion for them.

I hate to say this but boy are you a nut case. Just acknowledge that you hate the man because he's black and became the President of the United States. Sour grapes and ungrateful losers. You will believe anything if you believe that this man was vetted any different than anyone else. Ask Mitt to show you where he hidden all of his money that he won't paid fair taxes on? I also can see him bullying people who are different because he likes "to fire people," and he don't worry about the "poor. You need prayer a whole lots of it.:pray:


Happy Sabbath,

Given that I mainly dated minorities when I was younger ( mostly black girls )....
...And ended up getting married to an Asian woman I find your sour grapes analogy foolish.
...I have nothing against anyone because of the color of their skin - I just take issue with character.

But again, I'm used to "professional victims" playing the race card.....
...The days where that's effective are coming to an end - sooner than later:yum:
