My reading skills are fine. "the Lord is one" is not what Jesus said.

I think that's a helpful distinction, and I agree, but I've read many, many posts here and elsewhere, and there are a lot of folks out there.

Peter Enns?

I can interpret your writing pretty well. For instance, my translation of the above is: Why? You understood it.

Below is an OP from 2006. It's not mine. It was written by @bjonson. I thought it was a good question for the C vs A forum. Maybe we can create an impressive list of Arminian scholars for him. I'm hoping to learn much from this thread. I am a layman, like most of the folks who frequent...

I've have attempted to make such a point in another thread yesterday, but it went over like a lead ballon. Many Baptists are anti-intellectual, thinking they are being anti-Rome in being so.

Let us not forget that SDA's state the EGW's writings are inspired. Inspired by God, they claim. She, and her followers claim these are God's very words, not her own thoughts. What both Ellen White and the SDA claim is that when you quote Ellen G White, you quote God. Let that sink in.

Ellen White: "The pope has changed the day of rest from the seventh to the first day. He has thought to change the very commandment that was given to cause man to remember his Creator. He has thought to change the greatest commandment in the decalogue and thus make himself equal with God, or...

You might want to reconsider rewording that sentence.

As a 9 year old child, Ellen G White took a severe blow to the head from a rock. She was in a comatose state for a period of three weeks. She later heard voices in her head, saw visions and smelled flowers. What they didn't know then that they do now is that frontal lobe injury explains all of...

Yes. The gospel is not the gospel if it is not the pure gospel. Cults, such as the SDA, distort it just enough to make it unable to save, but not enough for the undiscerning to see counterfeit for what it is. Examining any group for orthodoxy is a simple examining its gospel. Where this task...

False prophets are always having "dreams" and "visions". Why? So they can get the focus off of God's word and onto themselves.

Here's a good one: "You should be teaching your children. You should be instructing them how to shun the vices and corruption's of this age. Instead of this, many are studying how to get something good to eat. You place upon your tables butter, eggs, and meat and then your children partake of...

"I then saw Brother Edson that he must gird on the whole armor and stand in readiness to go, for a journey was before him, and that souls needed help and that JESUS' WORK WAS ALMOST FINISHED IN THE SANCTUARY..." Ellen G White

"But, according to the unerring word of God, every man will be judged and rewarded according as his works have been, and we are admonished to so speak and to so do as 'they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.' When sin has been repented of, confessed, and forsaken, then pardon is written...

That's obvious, but it's a dilemma I've not created here. Going to the other extreme seems to be the go-to move on BB, but it's not a great way to discuss things like this. . . If you look back at my comments you will see that I am aware that formal education isn't always an option. Also, if...

The Lord will NOT hold GUILTLESS those who are deficient in doing the work that he REQUIRES at their hands ... and doing all their DUTY; in ALLOWING NO NEGLECT which will bring the THREATENED CURSE upon his people. A CURSE is pronounced upon all who withhold the TITHE from God. --...

A mere assent to the truth is not enough. There must be prayerful labor with those who embrace the truth, until they shall be convicted of their SINS and shall seek God and be converted. Then they should be INSTRUCTED in regard to the CLAIMS of God upon them in TITHES and offerings...

The perverted "gospel" of the SDA: No tithe - No Heaven for you! ...God declares that he will abundantly bless those who are faithful in bringing him their TITHES and offerings, but that the CURSE of Heaven will rest upon those who are dishonest in this matter. God forbid that the CURSE of...
