Instead of saying "saved", how about using the phrase "set foot inside the New Jerusalem"?
(Preview)
Recently, in forum discussions with non-SDAs, it has become apparent to me that there is a big problem with using the word "saved". Many rightly say that someone who is "saved" cannot be "lost". And those like myself also rightly say, that one can be a baptized Christian, and still never set foot ins...

Colossians doesn't do away with any of the holy days of the Lord
(Preview)
Many Christians like to point to Colossians 2 (especially verse 16), to try and prove that the 7th day Sabbath is done away. Strangely, many fellow Seventh-day Adventists point to the same text to try and prove that the holy convocations of the Lord (Feast days) are done away. Are either of those valid...

Holiday Activities - WWJD
(Preview)
What would Jesus do if he had the opportunity to travel through Europe? Would he be interested in cultural activities (visiting historical sites etc) or purely spiritual activities (church attendance/fellowship)? Is it an either or situation? Culture vs God's people? I've been asked to help pla...

Redirection: Appropriate Activities
(Preview)
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ I would appreciate an answer to my dilemma asap. In my home, an adult loved one watches movies that I do not approve of. To date I have tolerated the behavior. I'm not in a position to force them to stop. I have prayed for years that they will stop. I don't have the opportu...

China takes Bibles off the internet?
(Preview)
I read an article this week saying that starting April 1, 2018, the Chinese government will no longer allow companies to sell Bibles online in China. Seems that the Communist govt. there is getting more and more worried about Christians. We need to work while it is day, as internet censorship seems to...

The Formation of the Bible Cannon
(Preview)
Since when do we have the Bible cannon? Was it established through church decrees some centuries after the death of the apostles, or can we trace it back at an earlier time? The implications of these answers are quite important. If the cannon was established by the authority of the official RC churc...

Why did God choose the 7th day Sabbath to be THE great test at the end time?
(Preview)
Recently on some secular forums, people have been pooh-poohing the idea that the 7th day Sabbath is considered of any great importance by God. And I admit, that the other 9 Commandments seem pretty obvious to most Christians, but the 4th one doesn't. Does anybody have any good ideas on what to say to Su...

Revelation 13 will have a FUTURE, final fulfillment - take notice, fellow Adventists!
(Preview)
Many of my fellow Seventh-day Adventists believe Uriah Smith's interpretations of the prophecies in Daniel and Revelation, over what the words themselves say. They often say that putting any of it in the future is "Futurism", and roundly denounce it. The end result, is that we have a church full of p...

Evolutionists will turn to dust

The other day I was thinking about what final outcomes are possible for believers of Evolution, depending on whether their worldview is correct or wrong, and for believers of Jesus, whether their worldview is correct or wrong. I came up with this "Final Outcome Table" to make it clear in my mind wha...

USA recognizes Jerusalem as capital of Israel

This is week-old news by now, but I wondered if there are any thots on this development? Personally, I:ve believed for many years that the physical city of Jerusalem will be the center of attention for the whole world at the end time, and that Revelation 11 is specifically talking about this city. I see...

If your government tried to force you to be chipped, would you do it?

Last night, after the Day of Atonement was over and I had finished reading the book of Ezekiel, I was thinking about how God spent a lot of pages in that book telling Israel and other countries of the punishment they would receive for not following his Statutes and Judgments. They were extremely impor...
