Are you serious! Telling a congregation to fast is what this is reffering to? You are indeed heavily blinded!
God Bless!
God expects us to live up to the light we have.

I shouldn't say "heavily blinded". But rather heavily indoctrinated by the SDA. They have an answer for everything even if it has no biblical foundation. You are just a willing participant.

HP: I am sometimes reminded of a sign on a Catholic property. It read “Trespassing is strictly forbidden! Violators will be punished to the full extent of the law!
Signed,

Here is some "more light" for you Steaver. When quoting 1Tim 4:4 try to quote complete sentences -- in this case vs 4 AND 5.
4For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with gratitude;
5for it is sanctified by means of the word of God and prayer. -
Instead of avoiding this post -- address post 69 showing that you oppose the very methods used by the reformers. http://www.baptistboard.com/showpost.php?p=940065&postcount=69
The same is shown in post 72 and 73 -- you simply ignore what you can not answer and then repeat some bogus argument nobody has MADE here!!

And I am guessing we can add

To the list of unnanswered posts...
Not to mention the example we have with Peter in the NT - REPOSTED here

How in the world does that "SHOW" anything but the failure in your own position?
Just a thought. -
But of course - I just "had to look" to confirm that Steaver is still running from the Bible points made in those points ..
Ok -- continue then. -
Recall the Lutheran and RC example in the previous post.
#2. I agree with you that rejection of this truth can either be because you are not being convicted on this point by the Holy Spirit -- as He is busy guiding you into some other doctrinal point that you have not accepted yet - OR you are simply choosiing to dredge up every roadblock possible to oppose what He is convicting. YET the Bible STILL remains abundantly clear on this point. Human nature - man-made tradition -- plus free will -- what a combination.
We know for example that many of the priests and Pharisees accepted Christ AFTER his resurrection though they opposed him BEFORE. Christ never argued that all jews were lost and going to hell when He was on earth. In fact He pointed to a number of them as being forgiven "your sins ARE forgiven go and sin no more" and were accepted by Him - in His fold while He had still others to gather in.
Hence the NT church evolving to the point of the Dark Ages is yet another example in History of the free will principle being pressed on the one hand by the sinful nature and traditions of man - and on the other hand by the convicting of truth by the Holy Spirit.
Notice in Matt 16 Peter is convicted on TRUTH about "who the Son of Man IS" -- but then when Christ takes Him to the NEXT truth in Matt 16 Peter said "OH No Lord may it never BE". -
HP: So, once again, can you murder your neighbor with impunity? -
I wonr talk to you anymore steaver, your tactics are less than stellar. YOU are the one who keeps bringing up EGWhite, not us. -
What scripture did you study that had you believe that Paul was speaking about fasting in 1 Timothy 4? Or is that a "less than stellar tactical" question and you will not answer?
Here is what i believe, I think the SDA church or EGW or another SDA individual told you that is what it means. Or did God speak to you from above through this "light" thing you speak of? I know you don't won't to answer, but that only cements my analysis!
God Bless! -
Also you might be painting the word "murder" with a broad brush. Murder is not simply killing, it can be a cold calculated process or a moment of insane passion. And it can even be as simple as arboring hate in your heart for another according to Jesus. If you ever did this once in your life time, then you could be labeled a murderer. Paul actually carried out the deed. However Paul found Jesus Christ's mercy. Praise Jesus that His Grace is sufficient!
God Bless! -
Woops! I guess I better slow down and read what you actually wrote. Impunity being the freedom from punishment rather than a punishment! So then the answer would be "no" , while in the flesh there would be consequences I'm sure. But punishment has already been paid in full for the child of God pertaining to eternal "salvation".
God Bless! -
Steavers: Paul actually carried out the deed. However Paul found Jesus Christ's mercy.
HP: What?? Where does it ever say that Paul murdered anyone? Can you find the passage where Paul tells us why God showed mercy to him? What is the difference between simply taking another’s life as an emissary of a government and murder? Do you even see a difference? Can you find the passage where Paul tells us why God showed mercy to him and used him as God did?
