Re: What is "the Church"? What is "a church"?

Hello James, I notice that you emphasize the word "plain" in the instruction to "demand a plain 'Thus saith the Lord.'" Personally, I've always found the word "demand" to be more emphatic; I think it has a lot of valuable meaning. To me, demanding something in a sanctif...

Homosexuality and Religious Liberty

The following discussion is being transferred from an online chat meeting to the forum. As such, this post will contain the history of the discussion: Lucan : I notice the study took a brief aside to talk about our reasoning for opposing homosexuality. It reminded me of something I heard an SDA spea...

Re: 誰も私を助けることができる???

They asked for help contacting an administrator, and I asked them what it is they needed. At least, that's what Google Translate informs me. :)

It might be a bot, but it seemed like a potentially real enough message. Not sure why it'd be posted in Japanese, though.

Re: E.G.W. false prophecies and freemasonry

Hello Todd, You might find the following explanation given by Mrs. White herself useful: "A statement published in 1851 in Experience and Views, and found on page 49 [page 58, present edition] of Early Writings is quoted as proving my testimonies false: “I saw that the time for Jesus to be in t...

Re: What is "the Church"? What is "a church"?

Hi James, While your posts were addressed to David, and he certainly may have more input to give, I wanted to address a few things as well. Regarding becoming a CSDA while disagreeing with every doctrine thereof, I really cannot conceive of why you would want to. If you believe the Seventh-day Adven...

Re: What is "the Church"? What is "a church"?

Here are some that come to mind: ". . 3. Why did Babylon fall? Ans. Because of rejecting Christ and committing fornication with the kings of the earth. . . 14. What was the next inevitable step for Babylon to take? Ans. The church turned from the Lord and sought power of the state. She left her...

Re: Church Authority and Independent Spirits

Hi James, The last (and longest) paragraph of my reply was in response to this question. Since you are re-asking it, did you find my answer unsatisfactory? The example you mentioned (imprisonment vs. 1 Cor. 6) is a prime example of what I called "authority explicitly usurped from God's domain,&...

Re: Warts

I've had great success with the battery treatment (using a car battery) for warts as well. I used to have a series of warts over my knuckles, as well as one on my right ring finger that persisted through several rounds of over-the-counter wart removers. After attempting to defeat what I thought was ...

Re: Church Authority and Independent Spirits

Hi James, Thanks for the question and quotes. While others may have more to add, my immediate observation is that all of them deal with individual men within the Church, not with the Church as a whole. The quotes you shared speak of men who oppose other men who teach differently than they do, who tr...
