Are there imposters/cultists in this forum ?

Unless you are one of them, it is pretty obvious, isn't it ?

Seventh-Day Adventists are obsessed over keeping the Saturday Sabbath, while Jehovah Witnesses are paranoid about holidays including Easter, ... as if they are even saved in the first place ... :screwloose

<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:WordDocument> <w:View>Normal</w:View> <w:Zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:DoNotOptimizeForBrowser/> </w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]-->You don't have to be a SDA to believe that Sabbath is on Saturday. All you have to do is read the bible and it tells you that the Sabbath is from friday sunset to saturday sunset. Stating that in a Christian forum does not make you a SDA. It just makes you a bible believing Christian.

And deciding to not celebrate easter and christimas because you are convicted that they have pagan origins and are not right with God does not make you a JW.

Are you against abortion? Well the roman catholic church is against abortion so does that make you a member of the rcc?


Now don't get me wrong ... As an Anglican Christian, I do believe in the Sabbath but not in the way cults stretch it to the extreme by distorting Scriptures. And I also know Easter was originally a pagan holiday and certainly have no interest to celebrate any pagan holidays if it entails worshipping pagan gods and idols. Both of these cultic beliefs involve holiness ... and holiness comes from the heart, not from a set of unbiblical and legalistic man-made traditions.



:amen

<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:WordDocument> <w:View>Normal</w:View> <w:Zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:DoNotOptimizeForBrowser/> </w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]-->So you agree that Easter has pagan origins? So does that make you a JW then?

Well I might as well admit it, I am a person of color, and I am president of the South Eastern Pennsylvania, Klu Klux Klan, could you all ever find it in your hearts to forgive me.

Its ok mate everyone has to have a hobby
 
lol. i am neither of those.

Hey, some do not know what satire is or the meaning of paradox! So as the thread states.. 'Are there imposters/cultist in this forum?' will never be understood by some either.:screwloose But that post had at least a tongue in cheek, huh?;)

PS: And your first remark 'i' found kind of cute.
 
Perhaps you are 8-9 years behind in reading old posts?;) But if you are referring to any of my postings? Here is an old, old, one where I was asked about my past teachings by one who might still be on this board? (maybe even using another name as I had back then?) But if you need to get PERSONAL with [me] being a cult or whatever, with my MIND being read in judgement??, feel free to do so! Matt. 10: 25 is not cultish. So just ASK!:)
Pastor N.B, if I understand you correctly, you believe currently God is calling out a people from all denominations of mainstream Christianity as well as from the unbelieving, and these ones who come out will form this one true denomination, and only they will be saved.
*******
P/N/B/ here:
Let me just add that all of these ones will gladly follow the Bible requirements of Everlasting Gospel order. Rom. 8:14. Christ will have no loose cannon's in heaven again with no Gospel order! That is where it all started in the first place! Otherwise the character would not be mature. Also 1 Peter 4:17 finds Adventism 'shaken' first. (judged) And in Christ's day it was the Denomination [as a whole] that were shaken out from the Truth in Christ. See 2 Thess. 2:1-3. And 'the man of sin'? Who replaces a desolate denomination? Again, Gen. 4:7 & Rev. 3:9.

Their doctrine will be the same as that of 7th Day Adventism, and these people in this one true denomination will obey the commandments of God perfectly and have perfected character. Because of their perfected character and pure 7th Day Adventist doctrine, God will allow them and only them into eternal life.

******
P/N/B/ here:
I think that you see this correct? But for others sake let me say this, all saved will be saved only one way! Acts 4:12. And in total submission! Acts 5:32 .The righteousness of Christ is the only way to be saved. Rom. 8:1. The power is there, yet it requires a working covenant relationship! Phil. 4:13 & 2 Cor. 12:9. And yes, the only ones saved will be the ones who have been 'proven' safe to save. Na. 1:9 (but this has always been true! A person living in accordance to the light that they had been given)

You appear to consider 7th Day Adventism to have departed from the Lord as Israel in the old testament did, so that though you believe their doctrine to be correct, they are not the called out, the remnant, the elect, whatever you wish to call them.

******
Me again:
There are numerous verses of prophecy to tell us this Truth. The Eccl. 1:9-10 & Eccl. 3:15 verses are the most simple to understand in documented 'inspiration' perhaps? And in Isa. 5 it tells the exact history past & that which is again to be in the future. (even as to the reason of why, in verse 3) Then, along with the two/fold Eze. 9 slaughter of 70AD, & the Rev. 3's Naked/ness of Christ's Righteousness ones, we see that these too, will be [spewed out] as sickening. What Born Again person who [loves Christ] could stay in any yoked membership as a Rev. 18:4 Partaker of openly documented known sin??

Let me clarify! Rev. 18:4 is speaking of Babylon. (and her harlot daughters. see Rev. 17:5) And the verse is not talking of Virgin Israel as Babylon! Yet, if you take note about known sin & being Partakers, the WARNING still is Truth! And notice what your take would be as seen in Israel of old, in the Matt. 10:15'th verse?
Christ states:
"Verily I say unto you, it shall be more tolerable for the land of [Sodom and Gomorrah] in the day of judgement, than for that city." (see verses 5-6 of this chapter for whom Christ was talking about!)

So, yes, surely Babylon was no worse that Sodom and Gomorrah!! But the most guilty are not either of these two! *See Luke 12:47-48.

Am I understanding this right?

My conclusion:
When one thinks of the Midnight Cry in Matt. 25 & the Shaking of 2 Thess. 2, another good verse (of many) is seen in Micah 2:13.
The descriptive Word is that of 'The Breaker is come up before them: they have broken up, and have passed through the gate, and are gone out by it, and their King shall pass before them, and the Lord on the head of them." (check Zeph. 3:15!) Again, Matt. 23:38 & Matt. 25.

And yes, maybe we see an understanding of what is being said? Let me just add another verse seeing that you seem to be quick to understand a persons posting. In Amos 7:7-8 Amos sees a 'Plumbline' for Virgin Israel. Judgement! And in chapter 5:1-*2 ibid.. we see.. "Hear ye the Word which I take up against you, even a lamentation, O house of Israel. [THE VIRGIN OF ISRAEL IS FALLEN.]" Still yet, 1 Peter 4:17 finds this again in the repeat, but do not get the Midnight Cry of Matt. 25 confused with the LOUD CRY of Rev. 14:9. These that give this cry are the ones whom you describe. And this loud Cry is to the professed Christian World. It is 70 AD's counter part! 666

So wait, you are a 7th Day Adventist?

You are one cryptic dude :shrug

Why do I get the feeling that there are imposters or cultists in this forum posing as "Christians" ??

:chin

There are some that are trying to impose extreme or strange views similar to that of Seventh-Day Adventists and Jehovah Witnesses but when asked for their religious affiliations they dodge ....
Own up, if you are one of them !

It would be helpful if profiles could reflect religious affiliations or specific denominations of members so that we know where they are coming from in their stance.


:salute :shrug

Why should it matter that cults teach these things? Doctrines aren't false just because cultists believe them. As an example, take a look at these excerpts from the statement of faith of 3 different groups regarding the Trinity:

Group 1
There is one God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, a unity of three co-eternal Persons. God is immortal, all-powerful, all-knowing, above all, and ever present. He is infinite and beyond human comprehension, yet known through His self-revelation. He is forever worthy of worship, adoration, and service by the whole creation.​

Group 2
In this divine and infinite Being there are three subsistences, the Father, the Word or Son, and the Holy Spirit. All are one in substance, power, and eternity; each having the whole divine essence, yet this essence being undivided.​

Group 3
We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost.​

Can you tell me which of those is a cult belief?

If you don't reject the Trinity in spite of the fact that some cults teach it and in spite of the fact that it isn't mentioned in the Bible, why should it matter to you that cults teach things like worship on the seventh day (i.e. Saturday), celebrating certain yearly festivals, refraining from practicing Pagan customs and saying that we're doing it for the Lord or that we are not to eat the meat of certain animals, when these things are all clearly stated in the Bible?

I don't want to change this thread into a debate about those things I mentioned. I'm not asking why you consider these groups cults either. I'm just trying to understand why you point out that some cults believe these things. Why does it matter that cults believe these things, but it doesn't matter that some of them also believe in the Trinity, the resurrection, creation or a number of other doctrins which most or all Christians accept?
