    Importance of observing Communion

    Imo, I think this point gets lost in the shuffle when the sacraments are being discussed with mainline Protestants. I know much of the time discussion in other threads can focus on the body/blood/bread/wine matter, and not so much on the point you've made. And it is important. When communing...

    That ye may keep your own tradition

    Mark 7:9 And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition. The above^^has been quoted a few times now by our SDA friend in objection to certain Protestant practices and doctrines. It's piqued my interest to know how far we are willing to go...

    Importance of observing Communion

    Yes, and a Prophet also cursed children who were then mauled by bears - that IS scripture. Holy Tradition ought not to be disregarded when it makes us uneasy. As for "church history" - when we point to the Bible itself, what do you believe it is we're pointing to but history in the truest sense?

    Importance of observing Communion

    I was a bit surprised by not observing communion two weeks in a row - it's uncommon for us, but not unheard of I guess. I was just in a place where I felt I needed it. Our presentation form the 'mission boat' project this coming week will be interesting, though. It'll be a chance to hear about...

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 7

    Just home from seeing 'Joker'. Quite an excellent but disturbing film. Joaquin Phoenix deserves an Oscar for this one.

    The writers have found a way to keep it interesting so far. it's delving more into his navigating personal relationships which appears to have some good life to it. It may eventually go the way of "House" - good writing and stories can only go so far until it repeats itself.

    Importance of observing Communion

    Headed for service in a few minutes. Due to work commitments I'm unable to attend four weeks at a time (four on-four off). I look forward to returning, anticipating participating in Communion. This week and next are "Non-Communion" services, focusing instead on some missions work and other...

    What do Seventh-Day Adventist believe.

    Regarding point '5' of the OP, can you explain what is meant by "...personal being, sharing the attributes of deity (sic)..."?

    The Law cannot forgive

    Btw, I didn't intend to come and be a thread killer, or to push others out. Please come back if you have been a part of this conversation. Different voices need to be heard. :)

    The Law cannot forgive

    I've agreed with you that the Law cannot forgive. However there's disagreement about what the Law actually refers to. The Law points to our sinful nature, and the fact that sin is in the world. We are born in sin, and sin is all around us. We cannot combat it, rise above it, overcome it. Christ...

    The Law cannot forgive

    Lamm, we cannot do these things AT ALL! We NEEDED Christ to come, die, and rise again. The Holy Spirit in us enables us to act, however imperfectly. I'm sorry you see things this way.

    The Law cannot forgive

    Hey Josiah! I don't think Lamm and I are as far off with one another as we think. I chopped off a bit of your post above because the last part got to where I was going. Some don't know Christ as 'The Way' so follow his example because he's a pretty good man and said a lot of things that will...

    The Law cannot forgive

    And how do you respond to that? Not at all. The Gospel of Christ is filled with his example which he left for us, not to fulfill perfectly - he was the only perfect Son of God. But he did send the Holy Spirit, who is alive in us and motivates us to do the work of God in the world. And where...

    The Law cannot forgive

    So the command of God Himself to "go and do likewise", what shall we do with that? And it was a command - no conditions were attached to it. No qualifiers. It is true that we CAN'T "do likewise" in the perfect way that Christ has done for us, but he has set the standard. And it's not a standard...

    What is the hardest food or drink to give up?

    It is quite good, but I'm assuming that would affect your health too much?

    What is the hardest food or drink to give up?

    It does have Sucralose as the last ingredient, but sugar, water, and instant coffee along with the famous "artificial ingredients" are also in it

    Is judgment preceded by grace

    And there is grace. The man is not left to find it on his own. Neither is the expert in the law. "Go and do likewise" - where does Christ qualify this with "but you're not able"? If a man is outside the Starbucks asking if you can buy him a cup off coffee, or a sandwich because he hasn't eaten...

    Is judgment preceded by grace

    Being half dead, where is the 'hammer' that Christ used in the parable? Did he call the wounded man a 'viper'? A member of a 'wicked and adulterous generation'? Did he fashion a whip from cords and beat him more? Or does he care for us in our half dead condition? The fact is that Christ's...
