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.

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...
