Adventist Today and Spectrum are two independent publications that do not officially speak for the SDA Church. Each informs as to news that is not easily available, and each evaluates the SDA Church. Both publish a journal that is sent to a few people. Both publish on the Internet that is available to a much larger group of people. Those two publications are different. On May 17, 2026, Spectrum is expected to post a unique article that differs from its past publications in two aspects. You may read that article at: https://spectrummagazine.org/views/opinion/a-catholic-and-an-adventist-disagree-over-trinity-interpretations-yet-find-friendship-online/ * One of the unusual aspects is that the article was written by two different people. I am only one of those people. * The second unique aspect of that article is that the second author is a devout Roman Catholic ho posts on Club Adventist under the name Gustave. Here he freely posts his overall thinking of Adventism. My position is that it is helpful to understand how other people think about us. NOTE: I have decided to unlock this thread even though the article has not yet been posted. I expect that it will be posted later today--Sunday, the 17th.

I agree that God's eternity is essential. Thanks for adding it.

Intellectual integrity in Adventist scholarship is examined in the following article by a Seminary scholar: https://spectrummagazine.org/views/columns/what-of-intellectual-integrity/

Have you ever thought what your life would be like if you could no longer drive an automobile? For the past 6-months, I have been involved in an extensive conversation with the State of California, as to whether or not I would be allowed to drive an automobile. * This has involved examinations and reports from two eye doctors. * it has involved multiple trips to a local DMV office to resolve/respond to issues. * Yesterday it came to an end with a 30-minute driving test, on the highway, and in local residential areas, under close supervision. * Any failure on a list of critical issues would immediately result in a total failure to pass the examination. * I would be tested multiple times on minor issues, regardless of whether or not I failed on any of them. * A passing score of no more than 20 minor failures was required. * In addition, I was questioned on my knowledge of how to operate the vehicle that I was driving. Note: The DMV person knew more about how my vehicle operated than I did. * My physicians had recommended that i be restricted to only driving during daylight hours and to only a 2-year extension of my license. NOTE: It could be more restrictive. I PASSED WITH ONLY 10 MINOR FAILURES! THE RECOMMENDED RESTRICTIONS WERE ACCEPTED. I AM SO THNKFULE. I do not know how I would have survived with a total loss. Although, in most months I do not drive more than 10 miles. My wife is more restrictive.

I would have to lean towards that, and going about and am telling everyone we are near...

There are only two movements in Christianity today with spiritual force behind it, Adventism and the church of Rome. The others are letting go of their foundations and drifting towards Rome or worse..

On a personal basis, I believe that we have much more to fear from a sub-set of Protestants than we do from Catholics.

I will propose to Stan: * If people inform us of their multiple names, we will allow them to choose the one they want to remain and we will remove the rest. * If they do not inform us of their multiple names, we wil remove all such and ban them from future posting. * Yes, we already have some knowledge.

My life was changed by a part of one sentence "Our Father, who art in heaven...."

Impact Mozambique 2026 is not only filling evangelistic venues with the message of hope, but it's also meeting practical needs in communities across the nation. At the Novocine site, church members rolled up their sleeves on May 10 to offer free haircuts, hair washing, and braiding services, demonstrating Christ's love through tangible acts of service. By day's end, the team had served 65 people: 34 received haircuts, 24 had their hair washed, and 7 received braiding services. The youth-led initiative focused on providing a welcoming space where community members could experience care and dignity. Ponte-Gea Adventist Church elder Sérgio Mozangar says the initiative allows them to mingle with the people and show them love. "It was a day of hard work, dedication, and service to the community," he adds. "We thank everyone involved for being part of this mission of love and care for others." One of the recipients of the haircut expressed his gratitude to the church. The community outreach extended beyond personal care services. Following the afternoon activities, volunteers distributed soup in the area surrounding Praça do Município (Municipal Square), bringing nourishment and hope to those in need. "It was a truly blessed moment, marked by sharing, solidarity, and love for others," the team shared. The practical service activities served as a bridge to the evening's main event, with community members invited to return at 6 p.m. for the Impact Mozambique evangelistic program. The strategy reflects the campaign's holistic approach, addressing both physical and spiritual needs while building relationships that extend beyond a single meeting. As Impact Mozambique 2026 continues across more than 800 sites nationwide, the Novocine example demonstrates how the campaign is living out its theme, "Christ Our Hope," through compassionate action that opens hearts to the gospel message.

Especially before the start of school.

Monumental Fossil Discovery Roughly 3,000 pounds of fossils and rock have been unearthed at Dinosaur National Monument, the National Park Service said yesterday. The discovery marks the first excavation in over 100 years at the national park straddling Utah and Colorado. The fossil trove was accidentally discovered during a parking lot construction project near the Quarry Exhibit Hall, where visitors can see roughly 1,500 dinosaur bones encased in a rock face. Paleontologists believe the new fossils belong to a large long-necked dinosaur—most likely a Diplodocus. The extinct genus is thought to have had scales patterned in a range of dark colors, similar to those of modern reptiles and birds, according to a recent study analyzing fossilized skin samples from another site in Montana. Dinosaur National Monument was established in 1915 to protect 80 acres around the Carnegie Quarry—a rock formation that yielded over 350 tons of fossils in the early 20th century. The park has since been expanded to include over 210,000 acres. Explore the best resources we've found on dinosaurs here.
