This is a useful summary of the biblical evidence against sabbath observance and for Sunday observance.
Adventists are strange things indeed. Experts in deceit. Experts at trolling. Experts at saying the same misconceptions over and over without listening to explanations as to why they are wrong. E.g. why we should all go and commit adultery and murder if we consider the sabbath obsolete. As if repeating the same silly argument will make people change their minds. Intelligent discussion with them is rare, and mostly impossible. I've never, never come across a religion with so much dishonesty in it, and with so…
Out there on the interweb, there are trolls. Many of them. Occasionally I like to feed them. I'd feed them pork, but they're Adventist, so one of the few rules they have is to not eat pork. (They only have 10 rules, which are to keep the sabbath on Saturday and to not eat pork. Abortion and dishonesty are permitted)
André Reis, an old "friend" of this blog, has two very interesting posts on Daniel 8 over at Adventist Today and Spectrum. It seems he is disagreeing with the classic Adventist interpretation of Daniel 8, which links the two horns of Daniel 7 and 8 as the same entity, papal Rome. His position on Daniel 8 is much like mine, and much like that of ex-Adventist Dale Ratzlaff over at Life Assurance Ministries. His view disagrees with mine in that I, like Adventists, see the…
Adventists like Scheifler persist in trying to squeeze blood out of a stone. Adventists - please try to deal with facts, not your tradition. By carrying on with this nonsense, your witness then only serves to witness against you as an apologist for Adventism, and people won't take you seriously.
Adventists shy away from anything to do with the sun. Sun worship, they say. But comparing God to the sun is not wrong.
It's a common belief that Easter is pagan. One claim is that the name is derived from Ostare or Eostre, a pagan goddess. I tweeted in response to various tweets claiming such nonsense. I had an interesting discussion with a very opinionated lady. I want to post a few notes here on how seemingly educated people are drawn into this nonsense, and how bizarre their arguments can be.
Soon we heard the voice of God like many waters, which gave us the day and hour of Jesus' coming. – Testimonies for the Church, vol. 1, Page 59 That alone should be enough to lead people away from Ellen White.
These descriptions, given to Ellen White in a vision, prove that the vision was NOT given by God. If it was not given by God, who was it that gave Ellen this vision? And what was their agenda when highlighting the sabbath?
Thus saith Ellen: "The man Christ Jesus was not the Lord God Almighty, yet Christ and the Father are one."
The interesting thing is that Ellen White referred to William Miller, the founder of the Millerite movement that started Adventism, as "Father Miller", and gives one of the Catholic reasons for doing so (cf 1 Cor 4:15).
Since 1844, Christians pray to Satan on God's throne? No. All the symbolism of Jesus sitting down and his work being completed happened in the past, not some future 1844. Satan never sat on the throne of God answering prayers.
This page outlines the problem and provides what I think are the best resources on the interweb regarding the problem of abortion in the Seventh-day Adventist church. Adventism’s official teaching on abortion is not pro-life. It permits abortion under any circumstances, without judgement. It acknowledges that it is a serious matter ...
I think that biological monogenism is not hard to maintain, and I think it's actually hard to avoid.
In Matt 24, Jesus outlines the events occurring at the end of the age. Does this mean the end of the world, sometime in the future? Probably not. Jesus specified that these events would happen in the lifetime of those he was speaking to - Matt 24:34. Furthermore, Jesus did indeed come at the end of an age, according to Heb 9:26 and 1 Cor 10:11 - and then God's relationship with Israel ended with Israel being called a harlot, and the Old Covenant came…
The prophecy is this: 70 weeks until a messiah, or type of the Messiah, comes. From the command to restore and build Jerusalem till this messiah comes will be 7 weeks and 62 weeks. After 62 weeks this messiah will be cut off.
The prophecy is this: Nebuchadnezzar saw an image in a dream. The image had the following characteristics: The head was made of gold; The chest and arms were made of silver; The belly and thighs were made of brass; The legs were made of iron, and the feet partly of iron and partly of clay. A stone hit the feet, and the image shattered. The stone grows and fills the earth.
Not everyone agrees as to whether the two little horns of Daniel 7 and Daniel 8 are the same entity. Some of the questions they ask are related to slight differences, especially the discrepancy between 2300 days and 3.5 years.
Here we continue looking at the prophecies of Daniel. The prophecy is this: Four beasts come out of the sea; the first beast - like a lion, and like a man
