    Alcohol - a world wide phenomena

    Authorities know that one in seven that start drinking will become problem drinkers and that approximately one in sixteen people who ever take a social drink will become an alcoholic! Would you even step one foot on an airplane if you knew there was a one in 16 chance that it would crash and end...

    Alcohol - a world wide phenomena

    It is good neither to eat meat nor drink wine nor do anything by which your brother stumbles or is offended or is made weak” (Romans 14:21). Because one out of seven people who drink wine will become problem drinkers or alcoholics, how can a Christian support an industry that encourages more...

    Alcohol - a world wide phenomena

    Abraham Lincoln said, “Drink is a cancer in human society, eating out its vitals and threatening its destruction.” So much devastation is caused by alcohol in our community, on the roads and in homes, that this is hardly a bold or surprising statement. Indeed, even if the Bible were silent on...

    Do SDA believe Michael is God?

    Jesus can be whatever He wants to be. He created all things and by Him all things exist. He choose to become a human being and was still God. So why can't He be a powerful Angel named Michael when it is appropriate? Jesus is God and the fact that He is actively doing things to save...

    Interpreting the Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus: It's Really Good News!

    For both veiws if you are saved.. you are with Jesus very quickly after death. If death is a sleep... time is nothing and you are raised when Jesus returns 1 or 1000 or 6000 years after you die. Your Unconscious in death. If your spirit continues to live (you don't completely die) after...

    Alcohol - a world wide phenomena

    From what i read in the bible it is not sin to drink alcohol but it is sin to reject the Spirit and my conscious tells me that alcohol opens the flood gates for Satan so i am better without it. By drinking Alcohol i place myself in a place that is many times more likely to sin. Don't say some...

    Alcohol - a world wide phenomena

    Good point but it also applies to regular grape juice. The first serve is always the nicest and once everyone has drunk a lot of the nicest wine (juice), they don't care about the wine at the end. Did Jesus create Alcohol so people could get drunk? Pro 23:29 Who hath woe? who hath sorrow...

    Alcohol - a world wide phenomena

    It is not black and white Alcohol does not equal sin. The motive and way it is used is judged by God and when used you are 100 times more likely to sin. God makes exceptions but i believe from what the bible teaches Alcohol is the means of many sins, the cause of much intemperance or lack of...

    Anybody believe that Daniel's 70TH week has been fulfilled by Jesus - and then Stephen?

    i agree. Futurism will find a way to twist simple truth to fit their wrong beliefs. They need to adopt error or futurism does not work.

    Heb 8:10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: God gave the Sabbath long before the law was given in...

    Interpreting the Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus: It's Really Good News!

    Firstly the Sabbath is not Jewish. It was made for man. Before the fall of man and before any nationality or race. And it is God and the Bible that tells us to keep the law. You can ignore it if you choose to. No one has ever said keeping the law makes you right with God. Psa_119:44 So...

    Interpreting the Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus: It's Really Good News!

    They may have been investigating the subject but i know that SDA's do not support the semi Arian teachings today. I know because it was a controversial subject in the past that caused some to leave the church. If you want to know what the Church believe about The God head look up the Fundamental...

    Some of the reasons I pulled away from Dispensationalism.

    i don't equate the two because animals can not forgive my sin. Only Jesus can forgive our sins.. This is because sin = death. One sin = eternal death If i have sinned justice requires a payment equal to the debt. If im in debt 1000 dollars justice would require the same amount (1000...

    Mat 5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; Jesus loves His enemies. what would be more loving and what would be more unloving? 1. To cause people to remain alive in...

    Interpreting the Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus: It's Really Good News!

    You have lots of patience, Some people are not willing to hear. The whole bible makes sense when death is death (not half dead or physical death but complete death) And when life is given by God. We do not have life in ourselves and God does not keep us alive to suffer. Stay true to the Bible (y)

    I am a Seventh Day Adventist, Ask Me.

    For the Son of man is Lord of the Sabbath. Did He change the Sabbath? Mat 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. Mat 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass...

    Some of the reasons I pulled away from Dispensationalism.

    Dispensationalism is a particular hermeneutic or analytical system for interpreting the Bible based on a literal translation, and which stands in contrast to the traditional system of covenant theology used in biblical interpretation. Dispensationalism was first developed by John Nelson Darby...
