Stan Posted October 7, 2009 Posted October 7, 2009 Sometimes I wonder if the evangelicals have infiltrated adventism, and we were looking for Jesuits Quote If you receive benefit to being here please help out with expenses. https://www.paypal.me/clubadventist Administrator of a few websites like https://adventistdating.com Â
Guest Posted October 7, 2009 Posted October 7, 2009 "I also told The Lord that I wanted the maximum amount of treasure in Heaven (with the biggest mansion) as possible." According to this guy we should be going home this fall. Quote
Moderators Bravus Posted October 7, 2009 Author Moderators Posted October 7, 2009 Sorry, I realised reading back over the thread that my questions might sound a bit aggressive. They weren't meant to: I was going for Socratic more than sarcastic! Quote Truth is important
oldsailor29 Posted October 7, 2009 Posted October 7, 2009 I think rapture is death. One is taken and the other not, looks like death to me. Quote Prs God, frm whm blssngs flw http://www.zoelifestyle.com/jmccall

(I assign this homework to myself as well.) Hmmm - apparently that page that Bravus posted has links (part I and Part II) to the entire "Expelled No Intelligence Allowed" movie! (I bet those guys also believe the Bible has 66 books and that they are all inspired!! -- I will have to read more of the page to see if they are that "heretical") Quote John 8:32 - The Truth will make you free“The righteousness of Christ will not cover one cherished sin." COL 316.
teresaq Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 Sometimes I wonder if the evangelicals have infiltrated adventism, and we were looking for Jesuits well, i dont know what specifically you might be referring to but i know a couple of things i heard, and hear, church members emphatically voicing when i came back into the church about 2000. i was absolutely floored....! probably 'nuff said, since i see the same mentality from some on these discussion boards also.

(I assign this homework to myself as well.) i just skimmed it. i dont know you, and im finding that sdas tend to have their own personal understandings that may or may not match what was historical adventism, and i may mean that in a different sense than others mean, not to mention that im on the dense side, so ill need you to spell it out for me if you dont mind. on board or pm. Lord we have become a complicated, divided church!! Quote facebook. /teresa.quintero.790

Moderators Bravus Posted October 8, 2009 Author Moderators Posted October 8, 2009 teresaq: my point was more that we need to be aware of the dangers of conspiracy theories, date setting and linking particular current events to prophecy in order to allow date setting. If you read down the page a bit you will see the anguished apologies of people who set dates and then watched them uneventfully go by. SDAs should be immune to this stuff, given our history, but we sometimes seem not to be. God wasn't messing about when he said no-one knows when... better to just live each day as though the end were today. Quote Truth is important

The Mayan calendar says 2012... Hollywood even made a movie 'bout it being 2012... Maybe both of those would be more accurate than the guy predicting '94 was... Quote "As iron sharpens iron, so also does one man sharpen another" - Proverbs 27:17 "The offense of the cross is that the cross is a confession of human frailty and sin and of inability to do any good thing. To take the cross of Christ means to depend solely on Him for everything, and this is the abasement of all human pride. Men love to fancy themselves independent. But let the cross be preached, let it be made known that in man dwells no good thing and that all must be received as a gift, and straightway someone is offended." Ellet J. Waggoner, The Glad Tidings "Courage is being scared to death - and saddling up anyway" - John Wayne "The person who pays an ounce of principle for a pound of popularity gets badly cheated" - Ronald Reagan
Moderators John317 Posted October 9, 2009 Moderators Posted October 9, 2009 Yes, we shouldn't have date-setting in common with them, but it shouldn't be a surprise that many other things are similar since both viewpoints are based largely on the Bible. Very few believers in the rapture refer to it as a "secret rapture." Quote John 3:16-17 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. [17] For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.
Dr. Shane Posted October 9, 2009 Posted October 9, 2009 Everybody knows that the American Civil War brought the end of time. No wait. It was World War 1. Aaaahh,,,, the Great Depression? World War 2? The civil unrest in the '60s? Ronald Reagan? Oh, no. None them. It was 9/11. Yea, that was it. Quote Pastoral Family Counselor... Find me at www.PostumCafe.com Author of Peculiar Christianity
olger Posted October 9, 2009 Posted October 9, 2009 Bubonic plague Quote "Please don't feed the drama queens.."
bonnie Posted October 9, 2009 Posted October 9, 2009 Bubonic plague We should all know better than to set a date,we have been told we do not know. One of the biggest hazards of that is it comes and goes and nothing happens,people turn a deaf ear to events and issues they should be paying attention to. Knowledge and "guideposts" along the way are ignored Even most SDA's say no matter what is happening,"Nope,not yet","it has always been this way" . The time may come and go and many "will miss it" Quote Everything you do is based on the choices you make. It's not your parents, your past relationships, your job, the economy, the weather, an argument, or your age that is to blame. You and only you are responsible for every decision and choice you make, period ... ... Wish more people would realize this. Quotes by Susan Gottesman
