@Post #947381,

I see you are still more concerned with a “Sunday rest” than you are over the murdering of fellow christians around the world.

You will need to explain exactly how paying someone more to work on Sunday will usher in a mandatory “Sunday rest.” Explain how paying someone 25% more one day a week will force a business to close their d…[Read more]

@Berean,

Who is “the Branch” spoken of in Zechariah 6:12 and is it really speaking of the Jesus? The passage tells us this “branch” is going to build the Temple of G-d and Zechariah was a prophet during the time of the rebuilding of the Temple and Jerusalem; yet, “christianity” claims this passage as a reference to the “work of Christ as hum…[Read more]

@Post #947374

Deut 4:9 has nothing to do with the Jesus and keeping “our vision clear in the world when we keep our eyes on Christ and the ways he has led us.” Once again someone has parachuted into a single passage, taken it out of context, and applied their own meaning to it. This is another fine example of NOT verifying what one has been tol…[Read more]

Why does one believe what they believe concerning their “faith system”? What makes a belief, truth? Is this belief found and verified within G-d’s spoken word or found within the doctrines of man? Why do most religions require a strong belief system in what it teaches? Is one allowed to question a particular belief held within a religion? Why d…[Read more]

@Berean,

You gave me your doctrine of beliefs and by definition they are “a codification of beliefs or a body of teachings or instructions, taught principles or positions, as the essence of teachings in a belief system.” A belief is what “doctrines” are. You have to “believe” it’s truth, and anyone can believe anything they want and call it truth…[Read more]

In a story that gives one side; this isn’t journalism, it’s propaganda and hooked you into believing it.

“But here’s the truth: the law is selectively enforced, creating a two-tier system where tourists and the well-connected thrive while ordinary Tongans face punishment.”

Except over 97% of the Tongan population are ardent ch…[Read more]

@ Post #947343

I’m about verifying everything and wish people would do the same.

The islands of Tongo do have a law enshrined in their constitution which states Sunday to be a day of worship and no work is to be done including certain activities. HOWEVER, there is a huge piece missing from the story posted on the “advent messenger”; it’s the peo…[Read more]

@Berean,

To funny! Typical, questions you can’t/won’t answer; if you did, you would discover you have been lied to your entire life but fear keeps you where you are. As a former “christian” I believed some of what you do; the only difference is I started looking into what was being taught and started questioning it. I began verifying what I was…[Read more]

@Berean,

Which “Sunday Keepers” DON’T you consider “under the banner of Satan,” are “apostates,” are “Babylon,” or are the “daughters of Babylon”?

Concerning the “true remnant”:

Rev. 12:17] And the dragon (Satan through the Roman Empire) was wroth with the woman (the faithful church), and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, those who…

@Berean,

I never questioned the importance of following G-d’s commands; what I asked was:

Do you believe “Sunday-keepers” are “under the banner of Satan,” are “apostate,” are “Babylon,” or the “daughters of Babylon”?

Do you believe Sabbath observance is the great separating wall between God’s true remnant people and the deceived, lost world?…[Read more]

@Post #947333,

I made it less than two minutes into this video and realized it was AI generated. Did a quick search and couldn’t immediately find this particular sermon ever being spoken by Graham. In other words they took words of someone else and put Billy Graham’s voice to it. What has the church devolved into?!?!?

By posting this you have…[Read more]

@Berean

The author of that article has taken a lot of liberty in his interpretation. The language used in verses 1-13 makes it impossible to be a reference to the Jesus. Everything is about context in which it was written; you cannot parachute into the middle of a thought, pick out a sentence or two and create your own idea of what it means; this…[Read more]

@Berean,

I would recommend looking up and verifying 1everything written below, look at every verse given and prove it wrong or right. If it is right, what will you do with it? Will you accept or reject it.

In the original Hebrew texts, there are no chapter divisions, and Jew and Christian alike agree that chapter 53 is actually a continuation of…[Read more]

@Berean,

“Just because God refused Moses to take the sins of the people upon himself does not mean that God, through His Son, could not.”

Did you miss the other passages given where G-d said the sinner is responsible for what they do? Are you calling G-d a liar? It doesn’t matter what your belief says the Jesus could do; all that matters is what…[Read more]

@Berean,

“The desire of every true Jewish woman was to be the mother of this Messiah. Whenever a baby boy was born, the relatives would gather hoping he might become the Savior.” Wieland

“Every” Jewish woman desired to be the mother of this Messiah!?!? The only Jewish woman, if they even thought about it, would be one who married a man from th…[Read more]

@Berean,

If the last week of the “70 week” prophecy is about the Jesus’ death, please explain why this prophecy isn’t a focus in the NT. The only time the name Daniel is mentioned is in the Jesus’ dialogue when he’s speaking about the destruction of the Temple and specifically states when the disciples see “a desolating abomination” in the “hol…[Read more]

@Berean,

Tell me, would it have hurt to write a simple response to what you believe the 70 week prophecy is? The first 483 years, most agree it’s about the temple being rebuilt; it’s the last seven where doctrines have been created and everyone disagrees…everyone with their own “truth.” How painful would it have been to write the first three a…[Read more]

@Berean,

Where do I begin

If you don’t want to do what I tell you, then do what you want.

First, you don’t demand people to do what you want; you ask, you guide, you teach. It’s more pleasant that way.

But I won’t waste my time trying to convince you about Daniel 9

You wouldn’t be convincing me of anything; I wanted to know what you believe wit…[Read more]

Like I already said, I wasn’t wasting my time reading another’s opinion of what they believe it means; especially when you could give a condensed version of it by summarizing what he said. Don’t you explain your belief when “witnessing” to others or do you hand them a book and say, “read it for yourself.”

@Berean ,

So put your prejudices aside and go to chapter 9 of the book of Daniel, and you will be surprised to discover that the SDA does not believe in this Futurist heresy.

I have read chapter 9 and there is nothing concerning what the SDA believes. What do you believe of the 70 week prophecy told to Daniel?

What have you studied concerning Isa…[Read more]
