Which Is The True Church

As I have said the truth is out there Bari_kade. Its either God's law is still in force, or its not. I am sure we can agree on that much.

It was an exercise worth committing to in discussing with you, and I trust that God will bless you and see you through to the end.

Shalom.

@Bobbyaf,

I can thank God for answering my prayers to soften your heart - and mine. The thrust of my argument all along was to distinguish between the Laws/Commandments of the Old Covenant and the New. No one can mix them up after a prayerful study from God's Word.

Many blessings to you.

@nikynike,

There is a true Church - and it is the Body of Christ as you said; so the first line ought not be there.

@Bobbyaf,

Great to see how you calmed down. Cheers.

@bari_kade,

You too.
However, I'll be waiting patiently for your sequel - perhaps you might just mention something I'd like to post; and I don't want to risk anticipating you. You seem to do a better job at it than myself. Cheers.

You never fail to amuse me!

Just to let you know that we do have all those professionals mentioned in your post who happen to be SDAs. We operate hospitals, clinics, in which our nurses and doctors attend to the sick. I personally used to attend to the sick on the sabbath while I managed the department of diagnostics at one of our own hospitals.

If there is a firefighter who holds church membership he or she is allowed to attend emergency cases. If the case isn't emergent then such persons usually get the sabbath off.

Now you know.

My SDA brother, do you now make excuses for sin?

Those of you that seek to be justified by the law have fallen from grace.

Well, I can only wonder at the convenience of skipping the same LAW that has been used against others for being non-SDA. Like donnie, perhaps there's a convenient way of making excuses for sin.

@babyosisi,


Well, the excuse is both for cases that are emergent as well those that are not emergent - it works both ways, and the SDA has no moral justification to use their doctrine of convenience against non-SDAs.

For cases that are emergent, this would include a profound list of occupations:

1. NEPA (PHCN) staff

2. transport workers - taxi, molue, okada, danfo, etc.

3. Police (including those with special assignment to collect N50 from taxi & danfo drivers)

4. Television and Radio staff

5. Airport Authorities

6. Stock Exchange Traders

7. Newspaper agencies. . .
      . . . etc.

And for cases that are not emergent, they can be excused on the same grounds as those who "usually get the sabbath off." They would include:

1. Macdonalds, Burger King, MrBiggs, SubWay, Dunkin Doughnuts, and any other fastfood outlet of your choice

2. Supermarkets, Malls, and Shopping Plazas

3. Hair Salons and Barbers

4. CyberCafes and Video Rentals

5. Amusement Parks and Gardens

6. Seasons Football Matches - players and fans

7. The "Jambite" (University student) who has to travel home to refuel, especially for those inescapable lecturers' "Handouts". . .
         . . .etc.

So, in one word, according to SDA, just about anyone "usually gets the sabbath off" - the only catch being that such must be a member of the SDA! Non-SDAs can expect no such excuses, otherwise they belong to "babylon!"

I have read through the discussion with interest. I did not see Shahan's response when he was asked if he is a former SDA. Maybe I missed it? I would appreciate that information to gain some perspective here , thanks
