Creation 7th Day • Adventist Church Message Board

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 when they are in err...

This question is about the focal point of my point:

If we are all supposed to bow to the voice of the church (which I believe we should, WHEN it is representing the voice of God), then why did the CSDA come out of her?

Such action is a perfect violation of church authority.

The intention of this article is to bring to view several different Bible texts and Ellen White statements that are presented as Adventist arguments which validate Catholicism to its core. The reason that it is desired for these arguments to be exposed is because they actually hinder the furtherance...

Brother Lucas: I also noticed that a common thread was that it never referred to a church entity, but rather to individuals. However, I do believe that there is a time when it can apply to the church as well. I said: “To strictly hold to the statements that you set forth, would be to remain a Jew th...

These are all beautiful statements. I love them all. I have a question though. At what point do the following statements hold weight, if the followers of Jesus are to implicitly obey the church?

Hmmm... Makes good sense. When it comes to the Bible and Ellen White's works, as I have stated before, I place her writings on equal level with any Bible prophet's writings. There is a tendency it seems, for Adventists to view a verse in the Bible as above a statement from Ellen White. The claim is ...

Some small clarifications I believe that the Scriptures are all in harmony, but I do not honestly see that certain interpretations of Scripture are in harmony with the actual Scriptures themselves. When I state something, I am stating my honest view of the thing and why that is my honest view. I mak...

You posed a few questions that could be consider as fair and that I think should be addressed. You said: “The Spirit is nowhere indicated as a being or entity unto itself, and is unmentioned in the hierarchy given us of Heavenly operations.” This statement indicates otherwise: “The Holy Spirit is th...

It was an afterthought of mine that the issue of Satan being "next in honor" to Christ might come up, so I added my understanding of that passage in a P.S. at the end of my original comment, which I probably added after you read the unedited version. Anyways... that is my explanation to th...
