Not quite the same. The book of Mormon was supposedly dictated by the angel Gabriel. Ellen White claimed heavenly visions (some quite conveniently). I.don't think the Wesley's to take one example ever made any such claim. When I say prophet, in these cases, think old testament prophet...

Just prophet status, not Messiah. Of course all off them claiming special revelation from God does seem close. Also, I believe David Korean was an SDA before getting his messiah complex. Sent from my KFSUWI using Tapatalk

A cult follows the teaching of man and interprets the scripture by that. SDA's take.Ellen Whites writings and makes the scripture conform, same as Catholics take the Pope, Councils, and tradition and read that into the scripture. JW's and Momons do the same. Couple this with the threat of...

Dr. Cassidy, I just saw this and want to let you know that I will keep you a d your family in prayer. The Lord has His purpose in this and I pray that He would be especially close at this time .

I pre-ordered it also. I am looking forward to getting into it. Thanks for telling us about it, John

I might make a point of the hidden sin is known to God and sometimes that can be a reason that, although we believe we are doing His work and seeming to follow His will, we have problems. All things are known into God from the beginning. He wants to bring us to repentance before giving the...

As the amendment states the right of people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed, this is a clear violation of the 2A and should have been reviewed and overturned by SCOTUS.

Very interesting read. Thank you for posting it. Interesting to read Spurgeon's take on the question.

It must be the back-beat that is evil. Everyone should know that stressing beats 1 & 3 is orthodox! :laugh: Seriously, for me it is simply that the church service should be edifying and worshipful, even reverent. If the words are competing with the music, something is getting lost. The words...

Agreed that it is ultimately the parent's responsibility to train up the child, and of course, solitary confinement is out of the question. One does send one's child to a Christian school to try to eliminate or at least bolster correct views on bad influences, as an aid to parents in raising up...

Well, my thinking on this is that (despite the fact that perhaps some of the hymns in the traditional hymnal came from bar songs) we lose something when we adopt so much of the world's methods. If the message is getting lost in the too loud music competing with the vocal, or the association...

I have a question to pose to the group regarding separation from the world.... When is the church too much like the world? Or to put it another way, shouldn't the church be distinguishable from the world? If we imitate all of the worlds forms of "music" then are we staying separate? I am...

The KJV is a fine translation of the scripture, but to say it is "inspired" as the original autographs were is a leap of logic without support. The translators of the King James, if I am not mistaken, only had 7 manuscripts available to them, including that Latin Vulgate which was itself a...

Agreed. The scripture seems to be quite consistent on this point. Absolutely. Thank you reminding me of the Colossians verse, also. It is yet another passage that vindicates the view of the New Testament Sabbath to be found in our Lord Jesus Christ. It is a sad thing that these people are so...

This is how John Lange has it in his commentary. I think it somewhat consistent with Young's rendering. I knew about Young's rendering before I asked the question, and you do surmise correctly that it was one reason for it. I would agree that it is inconsistent to translate one occurrence as...

Franklin, Thanks a lot! This makes a lot of sense and I am glad you have shared it. Now it fits with my original understanding of the Lord's Day as a day of worship, not a "Sabbath" with all of the rules that are specified in the OT passages, as Christ is our true Sabbath rest. I knew there...

I agree with HankD on this one. The passage reads better, IMHO, with it than without it. Other than that, I agree more with the concept of the Majority Text than the limited texts used in the KJV translation or the Alexandrian Texts. That said, I would take a King James translation over any...

I understand. I am grateful for the knowledge you are sharing in any case. Interesting. I did not know this. I guess it is beyond the scope of discussion so far, but I would love to hear from someone who is knowledgeable of the reasoning behind this. It does seem that this is more than...

Wow! I have known this to be true for some time, but the clarity in the Greek as opposed to how it is translated in the KJV is startling. The problem comes that some don't acknowledge that the Sabbath requirements are lifted as they are completed in Christ. They think this a future or ultimate...

Singular or plural? To my way of thinking it is that the plural form of the word is used that calls it into question. At least in English, week is a singular form and weeks would be the plural. This is very interesting to me. How then did non-Jewish people identify weeks? With no specific...
