Re: How Should Christians Treat Those Who Seem To Want To Be "Under The Law"?
Romans 14 gives you that liberality, and yes that is fine. Same with Sabbathkeeping or festival observance.
The problem comes when a person asserts that Sabbathkeeping, festival observance, clean and unclean meats is a condition of salvation, or earns, merits, or continues salvation.
In my situation I was taught that all non Sabbathkeepers were unbelievers. Seventh Day Adventists don't teach that exactly, but they claim that they are the true church, in part, because they keep the Sabbath, and that all other believers will either become part of them in the end time, or be under the Mark of the Beast due to it, and lose their salvation. So, I see very little difference in the assertions of the Seventh Day Adventists. The other distinguishing mark of the SDAs and their claim to be the true church is the 'spirit of prophecy' as evidenced by Ellen G. White. This is problematic because she had poor character, plagiarizing other peoples' works and claiming they came from direct revelation from God, along with her 'accompanying angel' spirit guide, which is from obviously occultic origin.
If we are convicted of something isn't that our own conviction? Example.... I don't eat pork my conviction, but I don't tell my daughter or my husband they can't eat pork as that is between them and God not me and them....is that an o.k. way to think about the matter?
