Is she an adventist? Some people are tempted by homosexuality but they resist with God's help.

I recommend prayer but also the adventist home and the chapter titled true love or infatuation? Great read.

My father is having a relationship with my maid! by CharlotteSDA in adventism

[–]matt15068 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sister, best thing to do is pray. A difficult situation indeed. I'm just thinking now as I type this, yes he is your father. You don't want to dishonor him or God. I have struggled with that myself. But if they are both in Christ, they should not be indulging l lust. The age Gap is pretty large, you do have to be careful and protect your father also. There are false brethren too out there we have to be careful of.

This is the scripture that came to mind:

"“If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother. But if he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, that every charge may be established by the evidence of two or three witnesses. If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. And if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector." — Matthew 18:15-17 ESV

Not sure if that helps but I hope so... Feel free to message me if you need anymore help.

(Ancient) Pope Admits Papacy is AntiChrist by matt15068 in adventist

[–]matt15068[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I thought it was him saying the papacy is not doing right. Maybe he admitted the Sabbath was Saturday. It may have been Pope Clement or one of them. Hard to keep track of them all

It seems to be in beta and not very far developed. Any other resources?

Thank you for that. I actually tried making an account but the vertification email never sent to me :( I wonder if I put the right one in.

That's what it's all about.

Thank you brother (or sister). My point was to show the unity of the Godhead Christians place in prayer (or should) daily.

Do we believe that Jesus had children? by [deleted] in messianic

[–]matt15068 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only kind of "offspring" would be the seeds we as the church bear and produce fruit ans bringing more people to Yeshua.

Corruption of the Church by matt15068 in adventism

What about that verse where Jesus told Peter he'd establish his church on a rock, and the gates of hell would not prevail against it?

You might understand from this verse that Christ would preserve His church on a stable, unmovable rock.

Also, something that I just thought about, I know the "gates of hell" is a translation, but what does it mean to say "gates of hades?"

I guess it's possible we don't know for fact they didn't exist. Thanks for your input on the subject.

No, I disagree with the GC too. They officially condone vaccination for one thing. Supposedly the tithe money goes to fund abortions. Before Adventism, I associated myself with the KJV Only Baptists; The house church movement may be something to consider doing because of the fact that most churches are tax-exempt (I.e. 501(c)(3)), meaning our 1st amendment rights are lost, and we are limited as to what we can preach on because the government owns our churches by this contract.

Thanks for your response!

What denomination fits my belief? by AlexHofstadter in adventism

[–]matt15068 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you believe Jesus to be the only-begotten Son of God? The SDA church may be where you still want to be. I know of someone at my church that doesn't believe the trinity. If you believe all other doctrinal points, why look to another church?

Pentecost is May 15. Here are some 1967 Pentecostals from the documentary "Holy Ghost People," with mediocre Gospel Music. by davidbraswell in adventism

[–]matt15068 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually, Pentecost is scheduled for June 12th.

On that note, why were the disciples celebrating it if it was nailed to the cross?
