Re: Is the popular Gospel false?

I listened to part of this. Part of what i hear him dealing with (subtly) is many of the issues regarding the subject of total depravity in reformed theology, which would definitely hold to what he states as the false gospel. The issue of how we are dead in sin is an age old discussion. However, I'...

Re: Is the popular Gospel false?

If you are unfamiliar with the concept of behavioral epigenetics, here's an explanation . Basically it means that scientifically, the idea that we inherited the sin from the Fall is very much a material concept. Because of the Fall, we are made slaves to sin. If we weren't, then, "all would no...

Then there are the SINS (plural) that we do in life.
Are we held guilty by God for that inherited sinful condition? Is guilt is inherited too?

Is the popular Gospel false?

I was listening to a speaker who pointed out that there are two gospels in Christendom - one which is false - the popular one. They are based on different definitions of sin, 1. Sin is inherited, and 2. Sin is about decisions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SdzAGQF664k The definition of sin. This t...

Re: Seventh Day Adventists in the Bible

Thanks Abelcainsbrother and BW. All these churches were local at the time of John. Colossians 2, shows that Laodecia is a church written to by Paul, and his admonition to remain free of the teachings and doctrines of man. The 7 churches in Revelation are each given a message, which warns of false do...

Re: Seventh Day Adventists in the Bible

In 2 Thessalonians 2 Paul talks about the falling away from the truth which would take place before the return of Christ. But he does not place this event far into the future, because he mentions that the mystery of iniquity was already at work. verse 7. If the Books of Daniel and Revelation are pro...

Yes, this dancing was not exactly conservative, was it?
David's attitude before that, was one of dread and removing himself a good distance from the ark.
What a contrast, and I'm not sure I can relate to either.

Re: Seventh Day Adventists in the Bible

No, I don't see a problem with individual expressions of faith in Christ, as long as the follow the Gospel and the HS. I don't think we will ever have a global religion simply because true faiths do NOT work that way. Christians know that there is NO OTHER way to God but through Christ, that there ...

Re: Seventh Day Adventists in the Bible

Starhunter, your selective and subjective view on what is to be observed and why ( like the SDA) is no better or no worse than anyone else. This is what you seem to be failing to grasp. That's right, I fail to grasp a lot of things. Knowledge is progressive, even in spiritual matters - as individua...

Re: Seventh Day Adventists in the Bible

If SDA's are representative of those churches which have some true doctrine, then we ought to consider any other denomination which holds truth, as well. As RickD pointed out, the SDA's are fundamentally Christian. I am sure that some of you have seen that even religions which are considered aberran...

Re: Seventh Day Adventists in the Bible

Starhunter wrote The Bible is tradition, the traditions of the saints. I don't know what you are reading from, but here it is in Exodus 20:8 "Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy." Then it goes on to qualify which day that is in verses 9 to 11. KJV. 1. But if we just take this verse a...

Re: Seventh Day Adventists in the Bible

I agree BW, the rest we ought to take in Christ, on a daily and hourly basis, is an easy yoke for all His disciples. "Learn of me for I am meek and lowly of heart" said Jesus. Jesus willingly took the place of a servant, dependent as a man, on His heavenly Father. It is the lowest position...

Re: Seventh Day Adventists in the Bible

PaulSacramento wrote:The issue is not a difficult one, IF gentiles are under the Sabbath law then Paul and the Jerusalem council were NOT under the inspiration of the HS and they were WRONG about what Gentiles were suppose to do.

It is truly that simple.

Re: Seventh Day Adventists in the Bible

God cannot bless His people unless they are willing to have the law written on their minds and hearts. So, Christ's sacrifice was not enough?? No, Christ's sacrifice is the way it is done. It is the merits of His grace which restore obedience in man, by writing the law in their minds and in their h...
