To the Jews I became like a Jew. That was to win the Jews. To those under the law I became like one who was under the law, even though I myself am not under the law. That was to win those under the law. To those who don't have the law I became like one who doesn't have the law. I am not free from God's law. I am under Christ's law. Now I can win those who don't have the law. (1 Cor 9:20-21)3 points

Legalized Kill Clinics
phkrause reacted to BlessedMan for a topic
Forget the flue clinics, or the mental health services folks! lets just go to our neighborhood Kill Clinic. Assisted Killing is here. Legalized Kill Clinics No need for depression medication or treatment anymore folks! Kill Clinics are just around the corner, and coming to a town near you soon: Here in Canada; it will soon be "legal" to just kill your Mother or yourself, "assisted" by your friendly family "Physician;" just because they are depressed. The Liberal government goes back on a promise. THIS is what people in Canada voted for this time around. Please, someone explain to me how that is "democracy?"1 point -
Request For Prayer.
8thdaypriest reacted to Gregory Matthews for a topic
A member of this forum is requesting prayer for two family members who are in a spiritual and medical crisis. For reasons of confidentiality I am unable to give details. But, our God knows who you will be praying for, and the details.1 point -
Under Law
8thdaypriest reacted to BlessedMan for a topic
without getting into specifics, because its likely a different topic, both ideas are highly debateable. However, neither of the verses concerned in this statement would indicate anything, in particular, about "under the law."1 point -

Under Law

I wonder how many of us who are "under the law" could preach a sermon on this text; or live their daily lives by this text?1 point -

Des Ford
phkrause reacted to Gregory Matthews for a topic
In October of 1979 Dr. Desmond Ford gave a presentation at Pacific Union College That resulted in his authorship of a 991 page document of his understanding of certain doctrinal issues and his trial and dismissal as SDA clergy in what has been called Glacier View, in August of 1980. Spectrum, Vol 47, # 4 contains two articles of value in understanding those events. * A 10 page article by Dr. Kendra Valentine is of some interest in Understanding how Dr, Ford viewed what had happened to him. * A 20 page article by Dr, Gilbert Valentine provides an in-depth analysis of the inter-personal dynamics that were present during the Glacier view trial. I consider the above articles to both be accurate and of interest in the following: * The views of Dr, Ford were taught by other scholars and academics of his time, who were not charged and put on trial. * The views of Dr, Ford on the issues on which he was put on trial are largely accepted by SDA academics and scholars today. * However this does not mean that everyone agreed with every position that Dr, Ford took. In the interests of transparency my personal position on issues associated with Dr, Ford is: * I applaud Dr, Ford, the man who never made personal attacks against this denomination. * I agree with those who protected him and prevented him from being removed from SDA membership. * I disagree with certain doctrinal positions that Dr. Ford took over the years. * I agree with some of the positions that Dr, Ford took in 1979 and in 1980. * I consider Dr. Ford to have raised some issues worthy of consideration regardless of whether or not one considers them to be correct. In short: If your are interested in the doctrinal history of this denomination you will find those articles to be of interest and of value.1 point -

I'll find those articles and read them this weekend. Should be interesting reading. I never was horrified, by him or anyone else that had different ideas, because we've been told this would be the case!! What surprises me more than anything is, we're got no problem believing or accepting others that are definitely not messengers above EGW who was called by God!!1 point -

Being an electric utility professional for over 40 years, I feel bad for PG&E. They settled lawsuits about POSSIBLY starting the Paradise fires for $8 billion. Now you can be sure they will be sued for turning of power to prevent fires. Damned if they do and damned if they don't.1 point -

I said and you did not listen! Pence is up to his head in the corruption of Ukraine. You must not being reading or listening to the news. It's a lot of the top boys that are involved and Rudy Giuliani is being investigated! It is a mess! If I were you stop trying to be a prophet and just pray that YAHWEH will fix it. We all need prayer, I have never seen so much corruption. I wish Biden's son would have thought not be involved in Ukraine because his father was the Vice President. Nothing dirty was done but it just did not look right! Right is right and wrong is wrong! But, I am glad he realized his mistake! I wish you will realize your's! Blessings!1 point -
