/christian/ - Christian Discussion and Fellowship

Welcome! Do you have a moment to talk about our Lord and Savior, Jesus, and about the church He established for us?

>>849899

yes of course. The Lord gave Ellen White visions which told her of the end times. I personally think that she is a prophet because revelation talks about there being one more prophet near the end of times. The things she said make a lot of sense, plus the fact that we worship on the Seventh Day which is a commandment in the bible made by God Himself. I would love to have discourse/discussion over any topic, so feel free to argue/debate

We find no evidence of Saturday worship, once Christianity and Judaism became distinct religions at the end of the first century.

The Sabbath is still the Sabbath, but Jesus Christ, our Lord and our God, arose on Sunday, the first day of the new covenant.

The Holy Ghost descended on the Apostles and filled them with wisdom, and the Holy Ghost filled them with the wisdom to move the Holy day to Sunday.

This didn't come from a prophet, but from our Lord Jesus and the Holy Ghost through the Apostles.

I am SDA currently, married into the church and regret it. I would rather be a confessional Lutheran now that I have learned more over the years. I will be transitioning my family from this unhealthy church.

On the point brought up already with Ellen being a prophet, perhaps some things were inspired but largely not and to elevate her to be a prophet is a mistake. The spiritual condition of our church is sad, supposedly we have the truth but yet the majority dont truly know the gospel, some even have a sort of works based salvation, and too many others are focused subjective/relative rules pertaining to sabbath and diet, etc.

Does anyone else remember the guy who was absolutely livid that we have an SDA flag on the board?

That's a very challenging situation to be in, I respect the way you're going with your convictions even if inconvenient.

Ellen White had a head injury when she was younger and suffered from epilepsy. I don't doubt her piety, but she was ill and not a prophet.

One question I never understood (went to an SDA school) is on what grounds Ellen White even stands on? Obviously, one believes that the Bible has some hidden event that only William Millar seemed to be able to find only because EGW said he was right and believed him. But why do you afford her the luxury of saying that God told William Miller the correct date of Jesus' Investigative Judgement? The Moonies have just as much or even more Scriptures proving Sun Myung Moon was the second Messiah, yet you would deem them cultists and morons. So again, why do you follow Ellen White and HER interpretation of events and not anybody else who claims to have the correct Biblical Interpreation?

Uh what. Didn't you read where the Bible says that "holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost" and where it said in Revelation "the time is at hand" and the New Testament said that we are in the last times now. Didn't you read where St. Paul warned that in latter times there would come wolves to pull away disciples after them from the church? The Gospel of Mark tells us that signs followed the apostles. There are no latter day prophets like Ellen G. White or Joseph Smith or others claims to be, and especially not female ones. Inspiration all occurred in the New Testament Apostles' time.

Only modern cults teach restorationism or latter day prophets. Supposing that Ellen G. White or anyone in the latter day being inspired, that is an obvious and classic sign of a cult, anon. A modern day, Bible-denying cult would need to have "new prophecies" to carry its mandates against Scripture. Obviously you can see this.

There is no SDA flag on the board though.

>I don't doubt her piety, but she was ill and not a prophet.

She claimed to be a latter day prophet. That makes her a cult leader and a false prophet, anon. The farthest possible thing from pious. I say this as God is my witness with absolute certainty.
