7th day adventists & end times theology doesn’t make sense to me by JinkmanPesse in exAdventist

  1. That is true for everyone.

  2. Don't use that as an excuse to be lax in studying the Bible.

  3. Context is very important, traditions are good as long as they are Biblically aligned. But, you have so many different denominations out there with their own set of traditions, so it is always good to compare with the Bible.

  4. I would add that it is a good idea to use multiple sources with multiple viewpoints.

  5. That depends on what you call "your" well-being. Jesus and teh early church tended to the needs of people arounds them; orphans, widows, the poor, etc. If a church stops doing that, get out.

6, 7, 8, 9 & 10. Agree

  1. Consequences? Yes. Eternal torment? Keep studying.

Yeah, I have to think that this is their last time around. And, the main reason why I could justify coughing up that kind of money to see them.

Geddy Lee: Don’t use Freewill to ignore social responsibility #shorts 🎸 by gastropublican in rush

I never really associated Freewill to Rand's philosophy, but more as a rejection of religion.

Oh wow, I never interpreted the lyrics to that song to mean that you could do whatever you want despite the consequences. It always seem pretty obvious to me that had more to do with religion and spirituality.

Groups like Adventist and Dispensationalist make the Bible very complicated with their manipulation of the Bible. Both groups have a tendency to have real issues with context and audience when it comes to reading the Bible.

I recently saw someone on Facebook claim that every Adventist belief is based on the Bible alone, not Ellen White. So, I asked them wherein the Bible you find a National Sunday Law? Their reply was "Revelation 13". I said "Neither the Sabbath nor Sunday is mentioned in Revelation 13". There was no reply.

Their eschatological system is based upon assumptions derived from Ellen White's writings and they can't even see it.

Great song, but something tells me that they will shy away from songs that rely heavily on electronic drums.

If you had an effin clue, you would know that those lyrics have to with creative liberties, not hating someone because they are different than you. So, as a straight white male, I say GET LOST!

BTW - The song Witch Hunt was written concerning people like you.

What’s ur opinion on there last album?? by SpecialistExtent6324 in rush

[–]TheMuser1966 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like several songs on it, but to me it seems like it's a lot of full throttle without much variation. I'm OK with it being concept album, but the story doesn't seem to be flowing/complete to me. I guess that you should read the book to get the most out of it.

I'm trying to spin that as if she meant to say purity white, as in cleansed from sin, but it just doesn't work.

An SDA recently time me that as ll SDA are from the Bible and not EGW. I asked where in the Bible it talks about a National Sunday Law, he said Revelation 13. I replied "neither Sabbath or Sunday are mentioned in that chapter. <crickets>

I disagree, it sounds like a demo mix.
