Three comments: 1) My present understanding is: A major stated fact in what has been published in this case is incorrect and false. Frankly, this is often true what one reads on the Internet. 2) The SDA denomination has a process to bring to trial people who are accused of wrong doing. As the Church is human, that process may at times be flawed and imperfect. But, in my opinion, a person accused should only be tried once. Once a decision has been made that the evidence does not support the charge, anything further should be left to God. The person should not be tried again. 3) Further, the denominational process grants the right to bring to trial to a specified group. That right does not extend to public discussion and trial by the world-wide body. That world-wide body is not entitled to every bit in information about that alleged case against a person. In the final end, God will rectify any mistakes that have been made.

...Oh, the trials and tribulations of home ownership!

EGW referred to herself as a messenger of God, if I'm not mistaken. To assume that one must be without fault in order to be used and believed by and for God's purposes is slighting God, not the tool He chooses to use. Never have I regretted following His instruction to her, for the benefit of the remnant body of Christ, in the 50 years I've place confidence in her instructions for His bride. God is Love!~Jesus saves!

This is exactly what they said about the Republican Party 8 years ago! Its funny but many of the news articles that talk about the Demos today, they were saying about the Repubs 8 years ago! The way things are going these past months, it seems will being changing again in 4 years!

I don't know how God will ultimately "handle" the salvation of babies, people with mental illness, or people throughout history who never even heard of the scriptures or Jesus, or have just plainly been "ruined" by off-balance denominational religion. I really like a concept that 8thdaypriest has been posting about for a couple years proposing that "the rest of the dead" said to be resurrected at the end of the millennium will consist of these people who never had the opportunity to make an intelligent, informed decision about God; and they will be judged on their response after being exposed to the "real" Yahweh. I agree strongly with Pam's statement above. Furthermore, in my opinion, if you are experiencing any concern about committing the unpardonable sin, you haven't committed it. The only sins that cannot be forgiven are the known sins that we refuse to confess. As soon as we say "Please forgive me for my sin of ____" (fill in the blank), God responds "What sin?" See 1 John 1:9.

Hi Gail, The title of your thread here to me is: The comfort of a dog. They don't have to be old to provide a lot of comfort. Sorry your one dog is getting all crippled up. I have a small dog that is suffering from Grade 3 patellar luxation in his right hind leg. It does not seem to cause him pain, but it sure does cause me pain to see him limping.
