Re: Homosexuality and Religious Liberty
Hi Luke, Thanks for the summary of our discussion. It seems, though, that we ended on a relatively common state of agreement... at least with regard to the legislation issue. In my view, the ideal form of government IS a Theocracy (capital T deliberate); however, like communism to an extent, if fall...

Review of "The Sacred Seasons" with Ron du Preez
Section 1: Introduction One of the more visible differences between Creation Seventh Day Adventists and any other form of Seventh-day Adventism is our understanding of the Biblical feasts. This is not to say that other SDA groups do not observe the feasts, but Adventists in general are either on on...

The Heart of Unity (Discussion)
Hello to all, I recently listened to an audio testimony called "The Heart of Unity" on the CSDA Church's audio program page. It is found here: Creation Ministries Presents: Real Media The specific program is found under the label "Inspiration For You," and is the rightmost link o...

Re: Church Authority and Independent Spirits
Hi James, You wrote: Brother Lucas, You answer was satisfactory enough. I just want to figure out how the CSDA would deal with said situation of a member with an “independent spirit” as manifested in believing to teaching differently. The reality is, is that fallen churches don’t exactly acknowledge...

Re: The Trinity and the Loss of Identity
I like the flow of reasoning here. There are problems with the argument in favor of the Trinity from the very first principles of the traditional reasoning, and the article touches on them a little. For example, they will say, as quoted at the beginning of the article: "The God of the Bible is ...

Re: What is "the Church"? What is "a church"?
Hi James, This is actually quite an interesting thread, and it deals with matters that are both timely and vital for our understanding. I think that, during the course of your reply, you actually give a VERY good answer to the question, “What is ‘the Church’” and “What is ‘a church?’” In the course ...

Re: The Trinity and The Argument of Progressive Revelation
Hi James, I will go over your article as I have time. I do think that your most recent post here clarifies a few things: I’m not meaning, in any way, to state it to mean that one part of inspiration trumps the rest, nor that I am the definer of truth for another man. I am merely seeking to state my ...

Re: The Trinity and The Argument of Progressive Revelation
Hello James, As you rightly said, that is a lot of statements to cover in a single post. Nevertheless, I consider it an important one, as the character of our Father is a central issue to us as His people. So central is it, in fact, that we would say that the "Revelation" of the Father and...

Re: New Moons and Communions in the CSDA Church
Hello siamon, Thank you for posting to our forum. I am wondering, however, if you made your post in error, since it is simply a paragraph from another thread: http://www.csda-adventistchurch.to/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=73 In this one, I share with Mr. David Clayton (a non feast-keeper) the Bibl...

Reply to David Clayton's "The Problem with Feast Keeping"
Recently, Mr. David Clayton, publisher of the Open Face newsletter, published an edition in which the primary article was one entitled "The Problem with Feast Keeping." Being a feast keeper myself, I read the article with some interest. Of course, I know that Mr. Clayton is not, himself, a...
