I remember reading where Mrs. White talked in glowing terms about a Seventh-day Adventist church who allowed a Presbyterian congregation to use the church as well. I think she would be very pleased with this.

My two year old grand daughter was trying to have a phone conversation with her uncle She is used to video calls but this one was voice only. She spent most of the time saying "Uncle is broken"

Bring no fruit ??? Luk 8:14 And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection.

5 Facts About the Miranda Warning You Have the Right to Know On June 13, 1966, the Supreme Court ruled in Miranda v. Arizona that criminal suspects must be informed of their constitutional rights before questioning by police. Here are 5 things you need to know about the Miranda rights... When a Miranda Warning Is Used A Miranda warning is only used if the individual is under arrest or in the custody of the police and will be questioned. Whatever that individual says, whether to an officer or investigator before being taken into custody, is admissible in a court of law. This includes interviews and conversations that are either at a home or crime scene or when the person is free to leave at any time. Miranda Rights Did Not Help the Person They Were Named After Ernesto Miranda was a man with a long criminal history, who was arrested as a suspect in a rape and robbery case and signed a confession after two hours of being interrogated by police. He was convicted, but the case ended up in the Supreme Court, where it was overturned because Miranda was unaware of his rights. He was re-tried in the case, found guilty and sentenced to prison for up to 30 years, but died four years after his parole in a bar fight. Deaf Persons Are Not Given a Miranda Warning Police are told not to question deaf suspects until they have a lawyer and that person is present for the questioning. No option is given for using a Miranda warning that is written out or lip-reading because both depend on the person’s ability to read and understand. Because there are several technical and legal terms that are difficult to express in sign language, the Department of Justice recommends waiting for a lawyer to show up. Confession Rates May Be Lower Because of Miranda The conviction rate of suspects is not agreed upon by legal experts, but some studies show a lower rate of self-incrimination and confession since Miranda rights began. In Pittsburgh, the rate of confessions dropped to 32.3 percent from 48.5 percent in a matter of months after Miranda was required, while in Manhattan, confessions dropped to 14.5 percent from 49 percent only six months previously. Miranda Rights Don't Apply To Simple Traffic Stops Police officers don’t read Miranda rights during traffic stops, even though they do question drivers. In Berkemer v. McCarty (1984)—in which an Ohio man fought his DUI arrest on the grounds that the officer did not Mirandize him during the stop, the Supreme Court ruled that advisement of rights only applied when a suspect was in police custody.

My understanding is that this is more than just renting out to another group.

GREGORY thank you for posting this it is good to see S.D.A. churches helping other church groups===== I have lived in many different states and towns====and several of these S.D.A. churches rented out the church to other church group dgrimm60

I tend to think much of Rev. is literal. Hence, I believe the 144,000 are a literal number - 12,000 from each of the physical and spiritual tribes of Israel remaining on the earth at the Second Coming. The total number of the saved is innumerable. Rev. 7 is crystal clear on this.

"At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven." (Matt.22:30) "When the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven. (Mark 12:25) Notice the "angels in heaven" part. The angels (sons of God) who married and had children with human women were no longer in heaven. They had left their own habitation (Jude 1:6); so evidently, since they were no longer in heaven, they took it upon themselves (they "chose") to rebel; against God and intermingle with humans; much to the detriment of both species. The hybrid species of giants in Genesis 6 were the consequence; and they had to be destroyed before they destroyed humanity. Hence, the flood. Genesis says "These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God." (Gen. 6:9) Could this mean that Noah was still a purebred human (i.e., no Nephillim/giant genes in him)?
