Re: Seventh-day Adventists
Admittedly, I am not familiar with all of Ellen White's prophecies, but it is my understanding (correct me if I'm wrong) that she did make some predictions that did not come true. We need to look at how God defines a false prophet: When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow...

Re: Seventh-day Adventists
Non-SDA Christians are wrong to judge SDA Christians for Sabbath worship, and SDA members are wrong to judge other Christians for non-Sabbath worship. Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: Which are a shadow of t...

Someone who has t...

Re: Why is it good for us that Jesus went away?
As for your first question, it might be important to remember that he went away to be our high priest (as described in Hebrews) at the right hand of the Father making intercession for us. That might be part of it, although admittedly I need to do more personal study into the office of high priest of...

Re: Walid Shoebat
Yes Walid is a former Muslim terrorist who is now a born-again evangelical Christian and very outspoken critic of radical Islam and Islamic terrorism (for obvious reasons, Walid Shoebat is not his real name). I'm pretty sure he's a premillenial dispensationalist (he's a very strong supporter of Isra...
