"This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is Light, and in him is no darkness at all." I John 1:5

Given that eclipses are very regular events on a well understood entirely natural cycle, and have been happening at the same rate since creation, and given that Jewish holidays are timed based on phases of the moon, then this is only a 'sign of the end' if it's been the end since the beginning, because this has been happening with the same frequency at least as long as there have been Jewish holidays.

I remember him in Victoria Australia in his very early preaching days....obviously going places even then. One of the group who "rest from their labours and their works do follow them"

amen! I like the analogy Rudywoofs used. It buoys up my heart. And yes yes its not even a fair fight. Satan may be clever..but apparently didn't think of that. The power of Light/LOVE!

I have heard people say that "Both darkness and light are increasing". Impossible. Light wins the battle with darkness every time. It's not even a fair fight.

Regarding the Catholics—Brethren, I feel hurt when I see that so many decided thrusts are made against the Catholics. Preach the truth, but restrain the words which show a harsh spirit; for such words cannot help or enlighten anyone. The Echo is a paper that should be circulated largely. Do not do anything that would hinder its sale. There is no reason why it should not be as a light shining in a dark place. But for Christ’s sake heed the admonitions which have been given in regard to making scathing remarks about the Catholics. Many Catholics read the Echo, and among the number there are honest souls who will accept the truth. But there is such a thing as shutting the door in their faces as they are about to enter. White, E. G. (1946). Counsels to Writers and Editors (pp. 64–65). Southern Publishing Association. No Condemnatory Articles—The light which I have to give to our people is, Let no condemnatory speeches be printed in our papers. A large number of precious souls are groping in darkness, yet longing and weeping and praying for light. Thus it is in churches everywhere.—Manuscript 46, 1900. No Gall.—Every article you write may be all truth, but one drop of gall in it will be poison to the reader. One reader will discard all your good and acceptable words because of that drop of poison. Another will feed on the poison, for he loves such harsh words.—Letter 91, 1899.

No, he didn't miss Article VI. All that this portion of Article VI means is that someone who otherwise qualifies for an office will not be disqualified by a religious test. The only qualifications for President are (a) natural born citizen; (b) 35 years of age; (c) resident in the US for 14 years; (d) chosen by a majority of the electoral college. Article VI does NOT prevent any person from considering a candidates religion when deciding whom to support for any elected office including that of the presidency.

I am reminded of when the Temple was being rebuilt in the time of Haggai. The message went out to rebuild, but some said that now was not the time. There will always be naysayers. If you want to keep quiet, that's your right, but let those who think it's not the time to keep quiet herald their message. I don't consider it love when it sees danger and fails to raise alarm because it might offend someone. For far too long I, like many others, have been afflicted with the malady of political correctness, too afraid to ruffle any feathers. And what have I accomplished? Nothing!. When I read of Paul's missionary tours, he "turned the world upside down" (Acts 17:6). I find it curious that the pope has no qualms confronting and offending abortionists, capitalists, capital punishment advocates, anti-environmentalists, etc. while some want Adventists who have been given end-time messages to keep quiet and even apologize!

Isn't the term "honest politician" an oxymoron (emphasis on the "moron" part)?

Like this subject is ever going to be resolved here... NOT!

Is it hateful and bigoted to warn people of an organization that embodies a whole host of soul-destroying teachings? ESV | ‎Eph 5:11 "Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them." ESV | ‎Is 58:1 “Cry aloud; do not hold back; lift up your voice like a trumpet; declare to my people their transgression, to the house of Jacob their sins." Where have all the PROTESTants gone.... "Gone to graveyards everyone," "When will they ever learn,, when will they ever learn."

The SDA president to "apologize" to his "Holiness Pope Francis"? "Holiness?" Has the papacy renounced its claim to be God on earth? Infallibility? The worship of Mary and saints? Indulgences? Repented in sackcloth and ashes for the murder of millions of believers? Accepted SOLA SCRIPTURA, SOLA FIDE,, SOLA GRATIA? I am appalled, shocked to see a professed SDA proposing this. But then, I should not really be surprised that an SDA would even "wonder after the beast". No, the papacy does not have to worry, all the PROTESTants have disappeared, and sad to say, even a number of SDAs. . They have all stretched out their hand "over the abyss to clasp hands with Roman power" save the remnant.

exactly... After the last debate, I thought Fiorina was maybe someone I could support. But then I read up on her background (including statements from her first husband who doesn't have an axe to grind). I would vote for Bernie Sanders and a host of Democrats before I'd vote Republican for Fiorina.

Nope, sorry, the old 'the other guys do it too' defense won't work on Judgement Day, and it won't work here. Each candidate must stand or fall on her own merits and her own character. Fiorina has been guilty of at least two straight up lies to the American people in just the past couple of weeks.

I also saw posted a letter from James White about a trip he and Ellen went on. The letter gave a lot of "I" "She" and "We" of things that he did, she did and that they did together. One of the "We"s was putting hands on people who they were ordaining to the gospel ministry.

Will see if thou is a false prophet or not

No, actually EGWs statement is confirmed in the Bible!!
