Featured do any of You buy into 'little gods, positive confession?"

That would be a great thing for you to plan on doing next Wednesday night Bible study. It might fill in the pews. If you have not made a selection, I would suggest Elvis.

 

If I get to choose, I'll choose Abel, and then he can tell us whether the abode of the righteous dead was called Abel's Bosom until Abraham arrived. :thumbs: He can also tell us whether it ever rained in his lifetime, what dinosaurs were like, and whether his dad had a belly button.

Welcome to BB and hope you take my post as sarcasm. This board, you will find, gives great expression of other denominations even when the obvious purpose is to belittle Baptist beliefs. Right now two are going on, from the RCC and a broad catagory of SDAs, Pentecostals, and charasmatics. If a Baptist did that on one of their boards, I dare say that person would last less than one week.

You will find the moderators and administrators on this board very fair.

 

You need to get out more.

http://clubadventist.com -- that site has a lot of non-SDA views - including evolutionists, agnostics and atheists as well as a number of other Christian groups.

About the only way to get tossed out of there is non-stop name calling, even so you will find some of it.

They have an almost-SDA-only section of the board that is very tiny. About 5% of the board - the rest of it is wide open.

I am more than a little amazed by the fact that you are content to "quote you" when you make stuff up.

My argument is that the unbiased objective readers "will notice" that you are doing that. It is not as hard to see as you seem to imagine.

This is as confusing as Chinese opera.
:BangHead:

 

Not so much.

A number of Christians in almost every denomination have come to the point of not being willing to exchange sound Bible study and substitute simple name-calling or making-stuff-up in its place. They read about the dark ages when simple name-calling combined with "making stuff up" was pretty much all people relied on to make a decision - and they decide that this is just not for us to use today in this modern age of light and access to the Bible.

That is really not too surprising I think you find it in all denominations.

I am one those people that prefer actual fact to name-calling and making stuff up.

in Christ,

Bob

 

Ok, so is what he said true, Bob Ryan?

No Yeshua1 is simply making that up.

The SDA church teaches that the majority of the saints today are not in the relatively small group of 17 million SDAs - but the majority are in Christian denominations outside the Adventist church.

If we can be accurately dinged on anything in that regard it is that we not only accept that there are saved saints in other denominations - but we also accept the Romans 2:11-16 teaching that even some among those who have no Bible at all - are saved.

However as DHK noted in one of the quotes from the book "Great Controversy" - we do believe that in the future there will be the Rev 13 and Rev 14 issue of the Mark of the Beast and the Image to the Beast that will be setup world wide. And the prediction is that at that time the issue will arise over the 4th commandment. Something we have not seen at that level in all of time.

There are others like DHK that predict that this will not happen in that future Rev 13 and Rev 14 scenario. Time will tell who is correct.

Andy Stanley, and D.L. Moody both have sermons available on line where they explain the serious nature of accepting all ten of the ten commandments. D.L. Moody, R.C. Sproul, The Baptist Confession of Faith 1689 and C.H. Spurgeon all agree that the Ten Commandments were moral law given in Eden and continue for the saints today.

We happen to agree with them on those two points - the Ten Commandments are the moral law given in Eden, they still apply to the saints today - and it is a serious matter to decide to break them.

How that plays out in the future in terms of Rev 13, and Rev 14 is where we differ.

in Christ,

Bob
