Indictments
We indict Seventh-Day Adventism on four main counts, leaving out lesser (though none the less false) theories.

Indictment #1 - Attitude Towards the Atonement
Seventh-Day Adventism denies the Biblical Doctrine of the Atoning Sacrifice of Christ as the only means of man’s salvation.

This is the first serious indictment. We shall prove it from Mrs. White's own writings, so that we may not be accused of misrepresentation or exaggeration:

The ministration of the priests throughout the year in the first apartment of the sanctuary (which sanctuary Mrs. read more »

I challenge all who say this phrase to read this whole article through prayerfully and with an open mind and heart.

Seventh Day Sabbath

This clearly shows how Seventh Day Adventists Bible that they use is a clear violation of true text. It does not get any more clear than this. The sad part is many people get brainwashed in the perversion. I pray that they let go. If a SDA can not read this and see how badly altered the scriptures are in order to make their false doctrine "real" and "fit" what they are saying, then there is no intellectual honesty on their part.

It is a sad predicament. If you remain quiet, then you agree with them and they can not find their way out of this cult. read more »

I saw on the site here some of the most ignorant things I have heard in awhile. Of course it had to do with these "great conspiracy" concepts that somehow our government was involved in 911.

The stories go from no planes were involved to bombs being planted in the buildings. This is just about too stupid to even bring up. We have had 50 plus years of Socialist garbage in our newspapers, Tv and in all of our education systems that we have come to the point where common sense just is not very practical these days because some marxist thinks he can speak and do for you. read more »

No this is not a pitch for the KJames. It is an example of how some versions or translations are very poor. If I would pitch for any it would be the New American Standard.

The first one to watch out for is Eugene Petersons New Age Bible called the Message. read more »

this is an awesome article from "The Sacred Sandwhich"

http://www.sacredsandwich.com/warren_scripture.htm

If you are planning to go through the 40 Days of Purpose, individually or with a group, do not be influenced by the subtle pressure to accept Warren’s teachings and Bible references at face value. Whether it takes 40 days or 40 months, test everything in this study against God’s sacred word. read more »

NOTE FROM SITE AUTHOR: Just about everything written by Tropical_Guy is dangerous heresy and what you find below is one of the worst and most spiritually DANGEROUS. I may decide to delete this article. Its a fine line sometimes between allowing others to contribute and creating a platform for dangerous heresies to spread. I am putting in a few comments here to show why I disagree. read more »

It is simply Jesus Christ. He is everything mentioned regarding the Full Armor of God. Abide in him. The battle is already won. The battle is the Lords. Nt by might, not by Power but by my Spirit says the Lord.

You are saved by grace and not by any works that you should boast. Those are hard words for people to hear that feel like they should have to be doing something. Its normal to feel that way.

The parable of the workers is a prime example of sour puss Christianity. The people worked all day in the field and were paid their agreed upon wage. Then of course comes along another person who gets there late and gets paid the same wage because that was the agreement with the owner. Then the others get upset.

Another is the actions of the Prodigal Son. read more »

There are some things i disagree with Gene Edwards on. However I think this article is a good one. It is taken from one of his books.

THE SECRET OF THE CHRISTIAN LIFE
By: Gene Edwards

What have you been told is the secret to the Christian life? Pray and read your Bible? Go to church? Witness? Speak in tongues? Tithe?

Let me go on record. I do not believe anything on that list even comes close to the issue of how to live the Christian life. All have one inherent flaw. The fatal flaw? Every item on the aforementioned list assumes that it is possible to live the Christian life. read more »

This is another writing in the book by Dan Stone. Some people justamaze you with their understanding of relationship.

Law and Grace: Mortal Enemies
By: Dan Stone

Law and grace are mortal enemies. Religion asserts, "No, they aren't mortal enemies. They can flow together, like the Missouri and Ohio rivers flow into the Mississippi, and they become the Mississippi." Every place I've ever been in organized religion, I've found that belief. But Paul was saying, "NO? They never flow together. They've always been mortal enemies. They will always be mortal enemies. read more »

This is taken from Dan Stone's book "The rest of the Gospel when the Partial has worn you out" Beautiful insight.

The Mystery of Union
By: Dan Stone

Paul's teaching to believers focused on a great mystery. To the church in Colossae he wrote of

"...the mystery which has been hidden from the past ages and generations, but has now been manifested to His saints, to whom God willed to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory." (Colossians 1:25-27)

This article is by Malcolm Smith. He is one of the great teachers on Grace. I have seen him a few times when he stopped in at a few Fellowships that I attended over the years. Here is the Gospel.

THE GOSPEL
By: Malcolm Smith

The Gospel is the call to rest, to receive the free, undeserved gift that God has given us in Christ. There is nothing man can do to earn salvation from his past, or his present acceptance and walk with God. read more »

This is another excerpt from Classic Christianity. All my life i hear christians speak of "Power". It makes me wonder, do they seek the Lord for the Love relationship he seeks, or do they seek him because of what he can do for them?

POWER OR LIFE?
By: Bob George

I discovered why Christian service had been killing me. I already knew about the Holy Spirit; in fact, I had taught lectures about His ministry in our lives. But I always associated Him with power: giving me power to share Christ, power to understand the Bible, power to teach, power to serve. Of course, there is truth in that. read more »

Here is a short but oh so true essay taken from the book Classic Christianity by Bob George.

THE GOAL OF THE CHRISTIAN LIFE
By: Bob George

The Christian world is obsessed with sin. It's all we talk about. Most of our preaching and teaching is directed toward getting people to quit sinning. Are you ready for a really shocking statement? The goal of the Christian life is not to stop sinning! To use the analogy of the starving man, most Christian teaching is like a person following a starving man around saying, "You stay out of the garbage! Do you hear me? Don't eat the garbage! read more »
