HEY ALL MEMBERS OF CANADA JULY1, 2019 is CANADA DAY dgrimm60

Lou: Here’s a question related to the previous chapter (see section “The Teachings and Example of Jesus” in Chapter Twelve). “Why did Jesus heal the paralytic on the Sabbath?” Graham: Many of His Sabbath healings were elective, weren’t they? After all, the paralytic had been by the pool of Bethesda for thirty-eight years. This was […] The post Questions and Answers (13:13) appeared first on Jon Paulien's Blog. View the full article

HEY ALL MEMBERS OF THE UNITED STATES JULY 4 ,2019 IS INDEPENDENCE DAY dgrimm60

An NIH-funded study at the University of Washington is intended to determine whether there are adverse effects of the use of cannabis on infants. There is no claim in the abstract that there is a benefit to the developing fetus aside from any secondary benefit of the mother's potential reduction in morning sickness. The long-term effects on infant development remain unknown. Realistically, the best case scenario is if the baby develops normally to the point of matching the "control group" that was not exposed to cannabis. At worse, they might be born underweight, have cognitive or behavioral disorders, or physical brain abnormalities identified in imaging studies.

The Franktown SDA Church in Colorado has installed a digital sign that can be remotely controlled and send multiple messages to people driving by. Thanks to the Rocky Mountain News of June 28, 2019. Photo by Jamey Houghton.

Our local church quite often has DVD's for sermons when the pastor is at another of his five churches. Lately, each of the very few members are responsible for taking a turn presenting the Sabbath church service. If there is no piano player present, the music is dispensed with. Too bad, the several local churches have shriveled up and are all on life support. I suspect that someday church services will all be off-the-grid and in secret.

Well, if your cousin was a Jesuit, you have met and talked with one. I asked and you answered. Are you telling me that your namesake was born in 1853, died in 1913, served in the Missouri legislature and served as an elected judge in Missouri for five (5) years? If so, he was certainly a self-taught man who did very well for himself, as I have only touched on his accomplishments. However, it must be noted that while he clearly was self-taught, at all times he subjected himself to the guidance and mentoring of people who knew more about the subjects in which he was interested (the law) than he did. In actual fact, he was much more than self-taught. [Entered later: HCH, you may laugh, but my description of the above judge very well could be your relative--GM.]

Everything by prayer ? Php 4:6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

Joe: If we can not depend upon HCH to correctly tell us what the Bible says, we can not depend upon him to tell us what EGW said.

I don't like the big screens in the sanctuaries. They give me the feeling that I should be bringing popcorn along to enjoy the entertainment.

Lou: This is a bit of a footnote, but someone raised a question about the story of the woman taken in adultery (John 8:3-11). She said that she had tried to find it in her Bible and it wasn’t there. Why is that? Graham: That would be a serious loss. It’s one of the greatest […] The post Questions and Answers (13:12) appeared first on Jon Paulien's Blog. View the full article

? Lambs among wolves ? Luke 10:3 Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves. ?

It would be interesting to see what a church would do without power for a Sabbath. Would they even hold services? What would happen if the computers stopped working? Would they call the IT department, or would they wait until Sabbath hours were over?

hch, While your stories make interesting reading, What you are posting is just that - a story. If you were to publish it, it would have to be classified as fiction. The historical facts may be true, but - your spiritual interpretation of history is mostly pure fiction. Plus, you are making SDA's seem like a bunch of cultish kooks. I myself have some "different" ideas about some things that I believe, or the mental constructs I put on certain things so that they make sense to me. They probably wouldn't make sense to anyone else; so I don't post them here (although some of the stuff I post admittedly runs counterculture). I feel the same way about your posts. They may make sense to you, but most of them make no sense to me. Did you ever see a movie called "A Beautiful Mind"? In a way, you remind me of the guy in that movie; except that your obsession is prophetic interpretation rather than conspiracy theories. I say the above respectfully; not to harass you. I'm sure that administrators are watching what you post.

GM, your refusal to see the obvious is another attempt to stifle what the Bible says and keep its deeper meaning hidden. Have you never read: 2 Peter 3:8 "But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day [is] with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day." That principle is revealed in the word of God through the Apostle Peter. Yet you do not seem to be opposing that a day can be a year prophetically, but you accused me of "going beyond what the Bible says and of reading his own agenda into the Bible and the lack of Biblical foundation" which is to say that there is something wrong with my seeing that a year can depict a day in prophecy. To apply your own words to you as it is written [Matthew 7:2 "For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again], it can be asked of you: "If we can not depend upon GM to correctly tell us what the Bible says, we can not depend upon him to tell us what EGW said." I often have wondered why the logic that you display is more akin to that of a Jesuit than of an SDA? But I am still praying for you.
