PeaceJoyLove:Mercy.... Now my gender's being questioned as if he hasn't ever spoken to me on the phone before several times. I thought you were using the word "sister" as an endearing term here and over there. Not to signify my gender. Although having an "F" by my moniker proves nothing, you, yourself know that I am female. I am not struggling with my gender at all. I know exactly how I was born and will remain that way until death. When you used "sister" on your "denomination" thread, I looked at that context clues to assume that you were being kind for once....that's all. I was wondering how a person can treat someone so harshly and inhumane, then turn around and offer praises to them. Kindof like how the people did Jesus....one minute praising Him and the next responsible for His death...yelling "crucify Him." Let me in no way say that I'm perfect cause I'm not.....just showing an example. The point I wanted to make is that we are NOT friends. A person who has disrespected me in the manner you have for almost 3 years, could in no way be a friend, associate or brethren. I am not desperate for friends here on an online platform nor have I ever looked for any. I have not contacted you for months now and by the grace of God never will again....that is a promise. This wasn't about calling....which I could do but won't. You kept telling me to call you (on some threads) just about a (2) weeks ago anyway, but I refused. You don't have my new number so that's why you aren't able to call me....let us both be very real here. So you and I both know that it isn't about a call at this point. Yes sir/madam ....what has gone on between us is a spiritual warfare. Anyone reading anything I wrote who was searching for truth was discouraged, harassed or frightened away through your lies. You did a massive "PR" campaign built on straight lies...both publicly and privately to disparage me. You have a powerful influence over this N.L....that I know. The young & older folks here are scared to associate with me cause of the consequences of doing so. That won't stop me from speaking truth. My confidence is in Christ Jesus...only. In regards to writing about Ellen G. White, do you remember your words to me on my "Seventh-day Adventist Church" thread...? Remember the angry rant please and how you ended it.....keep to your words sir. It's not about "holding malice". It's about your abusive wild oral rants when you don't like someone speaking truth and having a voice. You type and type and type....insult, accuse, bully, degrade etc...in order to build up an army of supporters. You go on a psychological tirade....it's really beyond sad and frightening cause you are "set-off" by me. Then the next minute all is supposed to be ok...back to normal. You control how a person's supposed to behave before, during and after a situation. It is your behavior which is so questionable....I don't like your "double-speak". Praising me one day & stabbing that knife in my back with uncontrollable rage and ferocity the next. By the way, being a "foreign" guest on an online platform where I introduced my ethnicity, tribe and racial ties to the country (since I had been questioned about it before) in no way should correlate to putting it before my spirituality. People ask questions....and since I have been accused of being a "fake" Igbo, I felt it easier to identify myself on my personal text. I, in no way, was or am trying to insinuate tribal war...in a country I do not live in. However, I have nothing to be ashamed of....there are cultural differences. Thousands of ethnic groups there and I was specifying the one I was born into~ by 50 percent. Just as you told me privately, repeatedly how proud you are to be a Yoruba man. I even tolerated you when you spoke in such a negative manner about my tribe numerous times. In yesterday's thread that I commented on about tribal segregation in Chrustianity, I meant EVERY. SINGLE. WORD. It is wrong to put tribe over Christ for Christians. Identifying one's ethnic, racial and cultural roots is different from worshiping it over the LORD Jesus. I thought you would get that? So don't make this about tribal or racial bigotry...on my behalf. I placed the label back on my text too, so thanks for re-visiting it. Challenge to you: Bring forth the people who say I am "crazy"....here on N.L. Who ARE THEY? Let's not just say "many". That's "hear-say/gossip". Let's bring the proof....receipts....the monikers....the real folks I've actually talked on the phone with (in times past) too. I will await that patiently and PLEASE do NOT produce FAKE monikers. You rule by intimidation, threatening tactics and force. Sir, I always use Ephesians 6:10-18 (KJV) because I recognized this longggg ago. Yes sir, a "power" IS controlling you....and controlling you extremely well. My heart breaks cause I am most certain that sometimes, you yourself DO NOT know what you are typing.... All I have been trying to do, since I truly recognized the forces, is to offer you peace through Christ Jesus. Please surrender to Him sir, before time's up....it's the best decision one could ever make. You have a great week-end too. Op, I really derailed and am very sorry. He wrote a dissertation and so I needed to give my rebuttal. I hope I won't be banned for this. Thanks |
truespeak:I meant to say that you are right. That was how I interpreted his use of the word "religion". I really and truly have to have some sort of a sincere and genuine relationship to my Lord & experiences (based on pure love) with such a powerful & unshakeable faith in Him and who and what He says He is, that I would be willing to die for Him. I created a thread (a few months ago) under my alternate about it..... This has absolutely "0" to do with you sir or your post, so please disregard it. A poster referred to me as a "sister" here on this thread and "good friend" on another thread. I noticed that I have now gone from being a crazy, deceptive, lying, bi-polar, non-Christian "Adventist" snake, chameleon and demon....to being a "good friend and sister"...... ![]() Hmmmm......wonders shall never cease. |
Very interesting piece. I liked it. I wonder why "tribe" is so much more important than being brethren in Christ Jesus? Followers of Christ Jesus.....first & foremost. I've noticed folks saying, "I'm a such-and-such man first." So then how can one who allegedly claims "born again" (with that tribal-first mind-set) look at another person from another tribe (who is also born-again) as a brethren without prejudice? Something's wrong somewhere....in the heart. That boggles my mind.... When Christ has truly taken hold of a person, race, ethnicity, tribe should instantly become secondary.... Something has to differentiate Christ' sincere followers from the false. |
Deicide:Perhaps that's the problem. I kinda wish I WAS an "ignoramus" on this subject...this would've been much easier. Your reply was exactly what I expected...down to the "t". Although I want to go further, I'll end it here..... I do sincerely appreciate you Deicid, conversing with me here. Praying for you Max....just so you know. |
Deicide:Well let me first say that I appreciate your reply. I thought I would hear "crickets"....aka....silence, so sincerely "thank you". The above bolded is very correct. Which means that those who chose to convert by force were NOT true followers of Christ...the mixed multitude during the Israelites' exodus out of Egypt were NOT all of the followers of the true and living God of Abraham. There were many skeptics, fearful, wicked folks with wrong motives who came out in that crowd of over 600,000. Understand that in every religion exists fanatics, extremists, cult-ish groups, "sects" who manage to misinterpret the Bible (whether deliberately or in sincere ignorance) for their own motives. It happens.....and will continue to happen until Christ' return. I am speaking generally about the foundation of Christianity based on Christ' teachings.... Question: can you give examples of some Christians (in times past) who "violently forced the religion on those who practiced a different religion?" Notice my words. Just curious about it. Not trying to argue either. |
Deicide:I thought your question was going in a different direction--of which my answer would be "yes"--.....but now I see otherwise. At the bolded, not a fair question. It is against the religion of Christianity to threaten death if unwilling to convert. That is not in the Bible....God's Word. For your information, you know the saying, "Those that stand for NOTHING, will fall for ANYTHING." Well, not an honorable thing to be a "chameleon"... Be sincere in your stance (even if in error) and not just be "anything for anybody" in order to "go along" in order to "get along" and preserve "self". There are some things I'm sure you're willing to die for. |
Beautifully, beautifully written..... |
Although I don't know Pastor Adeboye's full family (the son posted on N.L. that I've seen is Leke), I would like to give my condolences to them. I have read many devotionals on this site from the pastor and was introduced to him through those. When I saw the first pic, I actually thought that was Pastor Adeboye. I had to do a "double-take". His late son looked so much like him! Loss is tough...for any human being...and I hope the family truly leans on God for strength and comfort. |
KALUUKALUU:Sir, Good morning, You say your "brother" is an SDA? Hmmmm...another SDA? Alrighty then..... I've met more alleged SDA's on this here thread than I have my entire 4 and 1/2 years on this site! There are only "2" persons (on this site) who I believe (that I briefly either exchanged a few words with or posted a comment awhile ago) are of the faith. Most SDA's won't come out publicly because of fear being "peculiar", of judgment by all, or misconstrued words about our beliefs. I am contemplating (as I said earlier) on how exactly I want to finish what I originally (on my very post on this thread) said I would finish here: who SDA's are, the role of the prophetess/in relation to the Bible, and what we believe. Forgive me for being still a little leery....I want to be wise however, I want to finish what I started...and I will. Anyhow, I wanted "not" to ignore your question....at the bolded. So here's the answer: I am, first and foremost, a believer of God the Father, God the Son Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit, His Word, who happens to be Seventh-day Adventist. Not understanding the last paragraph.. You didn't offend me. Why is it written like that? Like a proclamation of some sort? "....I hereby....etc." |
Image123:I must applaud your respectful reply. Thank you sir.....I really appreciate it. Apology accepted. |
Image123:Disclaimer: If you weren't referring to me, then disregard this post and accept my sincere apology. Sir, I indirectly, accused BassReeves of bringing the homosexual agenda to my thread....(cause that's what he mostly comments on), but I see now that it was you who did it. Although I wish he would've redirected his further comments back over here, and not kept talking over there, my apologies to him. At the bolded, not a kind word to use to describe someone whom you don't know. "Rabid"? a term used to describe animals who have contracted a possibly deadly disease if not treated? Sir, don't you have females in your life? It would be nice to show some respect and at least use a different word next time. It's quite dismissive to label someone "crazy" or "sick" or "mental" because he/she doesn't operate in the cultural norm that you feel he/she should.....and I'm purely speaking in "practical" and not "biblical" terms. Thanks for understanding (no need to reply me) and my apologies to the OP for my slight derailment here. |
BassReeves:Thank you for finally telling the truth. I am on a permanent residency blacklist in terms of giving any further rebuttal on this thread in order to defend my denomination. That's all I wanted to be said. |
PeaceJoyLove:Thank you for leaving me alone. |
PeaceJoyLove:I don't know what "useless moniker with a "k" you are talking about, so please do not start false accusations yet again. The highlighted RED is exactly WHAT I have been trying to reply for (2) weeks now. Yes, I'm able to post now....stuff like what I'm writing right now. The issue is when I try to respond to your false accusations against someone you know absolutely "0" about...E.G.White. Even in your list of issues (which I highlighted in RED), you have written several LIES.....several sir. I had the answers. I believe with my whole heart that I did not converse with any real or former Seventh-day Adventist on this thread. Not a one... In an attempt to sully, lie on, discredit and attack a church which you fully oppose, monikers were used to present a false image. Not every member that attends the SDA church stays. Just like with any other denomination, people switch. People even switch religions. But I can tell you this: I did NOT converse with any real SDA on this here my thread---and I stand by my comment. The reason I have not attempted to reply your false accusations for the FOURTH time is that I know a trap is waiting--called a BAN. Whether I use this moniker or my alternate one, a ban is waiting. I'm not gonna fall for it a FOURTH time..at least not at the moment.. I have had a rebuttal for (2) weeks now....but have BEEN STOPPED IN MY TRACKS EACH AND EVERY TIME WHEN IT COMES TO WRITING ABOUT ELLEN G. WHITE AND THE HISTORY OF THE CHURCH, HER ROLE IN THE CHURCH AND HOW HER ROLE AS A PROPHET IS TO BE USED IN RELATION TO THE BIBLE. Yes, I had ALL the answers and tried repeatedly, but was banned immediately after I wrote and posted. Hmmm....I wonder why? Why does my church bother you so much? Why are you so pressed? Your anger is so concerning to me. You don't believe in denominations, so kindly walk away. Sir, you once again have become unhinged and started the character assasination, insults, name-calling etc. because you have been lying on me from Day 1 and I'm holding you accountable. This is yet another rant of lies. I don't worry though, because when God knows the WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH, FEAR fades away. I don't need to fear if God be for me....and He is. Your intense and immense hatred for me will be your un-doing if you don't cease and desist. You better give that to the Lord sir. You know the truth.....and always will. |
BassReeves:What you are showing the guy is back from around October 2020-Dec. 2020 or so..dealing with a different thread topic. At that time, I was copying & pasting from a website. I apologized after I was made aware that I was using all of Nairaland's disk space. As I attempted 2 weeks ago until a few days ago, were my own words for this thread. I wasn't copying and pasting. The only thing that I used from another website were my church's "28 Beliefs". I also posted the link. THREE attempts after that above post to post more info as I stated I would do (in response to PeaceJoyLove's accusations) in my initial post about my church were erased and I was banned. That is what my complaint was and is about. Being able to post my rebuttals without being banned----my words--not too long either. My rebuttals were much shorter than PeaceJoyLove's posts on this thread. He writes dissertations and never gets banned. |
BassReeves:You are correct Mr. Reeves about your very first sentence. See this was the "1000 percent honest & original" words that I told you over on the "Pastor Arrested for Biblical Stance on Homosexuality" thread last week. How I felt in "that.exact.moment" was genuine. It was a worldly, emotional moment and I lacked self-control. I apologize for offending you. I am a Christian who still has defects of character that God must purify me of. I am not in a state of denial about my flaws, weaknesses, and even sin in my life---all things that must be overcome by God's gace. I said two things: I wanted Kobojunkie off the thread and you too. Honestly, I never wanted you to comment on it. What I should've done was just remain silent...and not speak (or in this case "write" my thoughts here). My issue with you is your anger against views different from yours. You resort to childish name-calling and pictorials that are so unnecessary. You only talk about gay issues....gay, gay and more gay. Look at how the gay issue is here on my thread which was supposed to be about my denomination. I created the thread originally because PeaceJoyLove started throwing out false accusations. I wanted to write about my denomination for some time, but when he did what he did, I felt the time was right. Now the gay issue is here. Mr. Reeves, I wish you would be direct and say--"Miss E.viana, I am a homosexual in a monagamous relationship and am offended and feel you hate & discriminate against me because of it." Then you and I could go from there. Your assessment would be wrong, but I'd respect that you were open and honest. I've spoken tirelessy on the topic--yet there are so many other portions of Christianity as well that should be addressed. You, instead, speak in circles-- yet never directly--while it is very apparent that folks only speak passionately about something when they believe wholeheartedly in it. You come across as rude and immature at times in your rebuttals because you get frustrated in trying to "convince" Christians about your stance on the topic. Just wanting you to be civil and know that it's ok to "agree to disagree" beloved. |
Image123:Sir, I know people think I'm paranoid, but I know what I am saying and so do the folks that have done & are doing it. Some persons are "doing me"... and it's retaliation for my views. See I don't get banned posting stuff like this. It's when I attempt to finish writing about my denomination--when the ban occurs. I even tried (3) methods to make sure I wasn't jumping to conclusions falsely. If somehow, it's honestly & accurately revealed that I was truly wrong, (which I don't believe is the case), I will have no problem rendering a heartfelt apology. It's ok though....and I thank you sincerely for your suggestions and help. I think I will look into options on how to move forward with the thread. |
[quote author=E.viana post=101345124]See that's the thing. I cannot convince you or anyone else anything about 1.) Christ Jesus and 2.) the Seventh-day Adventist Church I wrote about my experience and how it has changed my life. I am not ashamed to say so either. I always invite folks to try Christ....get to know Him first. I told you privately & publicly many times what is important to me. Honestly, you have done more to discredit me on this site than anyone else here. You have damaged my character more than anyone here...so forgive me if I have severe "doubts" about you. I don't call many folks my "friend" easily. Your "private" actions have been 1000 percent different than your "public" rants. I actually believe the "real you" is the one who has treated me worse than "scum" on this forum (but I digress). Anyhow, I look at you as a "soul" that has potential to be won for Christ's Kingdom...that's it. I'm not trying to do anything else. My thread has been overtaken and trashed because you and your buddies have a hatred against me, my beliefs, my church and ultimately God. What you guys have done towards me (on this thread & elsewhere) is despicable....and I've had to be in much prayer to ask God to change my heart to sincerely forgive which is why I continue to even engage you guys. Kobojunkie is here and my flesh wants him to leave the thread....BassReeves is also another one whom....well...Lord just let me say no more. You, as well, join in to bash, bash and more bash....you insult my church, throw accusations, speak "codedly", question, intimidate, deride and more....and then you say that I'm your friend? Really? My thread has been derailed..look at you guys and what you're doing here today! Yet let me try and finish writing what I started, and then it gets erased and me banned. See you guys are playing game...yet it's your souls on the line.[/quote] |
KALUUKALUU:I understand you. Losing Christ is the problem. I find it odd,though, that (2) people "allegedly" associated with my denomination (in some form) now are blasting it once I begun this thread and hadn't even finished it. I don't really believe either person. I do not place my church over Jesus, however I do love it..just as several other Christians in this section love theirs and speak about it too. |

Peacejoylove, Good morning- Correction: Not Martin Luther King Jr. (The Civil Rights Activist from the 1960's)....which you stated to the "other poster." I spoke about Martin Luther (The Great Reformer who, basically, was the founder of the Protestant Reformation) on another thread of mine. I think you honestly made a mistake when you mixed up the two. I hope you don't find it offensive for me to have corrected you. Ok, I have tried relentlessly to finish what I began on this thread--which was to clear up some misconceptions about my denomination, but it is clear that I cannot do so. This is your thread now sir. It actually has been for over 2 weeks now. I am helpless to do anything else. I have fought as hard as I can. My conscience is clear and I won't argue with or debate you. Although you took it (the thread) over by force, it's definitely yours now. Congrats..... I am thankful, however, that I could at least write the first few posts on this thread. You take care... |
WHO IS ELLEN G. WHITE? WHAT IS HER RELATIONSHIP TO THE CHURCH? Listed among the church's biblically-based beliefs are "Spiritual Gifts/Ministry" & "The Gift of Prophecy". Seventh-day Adventists believe God chose to reveal important prophetic events for the final generation through this woman. She also has written extensively on Christian living, health, education, relationships, evangelism and many other topics. Brief History- Mrs. White, along with her husband James White and Joseph Bates all "co-founded" what has become known as the Seventh-day Adventists(mid 1800's)..after meeting and studying through the scriptures to find out what went wrong earluer. They were remnants of the Millerite movement, founded by William Miller--who is widely known for misinterpreting the 2nd advent of the Lord..later termed "The Great Disappointment" (he got the date "1844" right but the event wrong).... TO BE CONTINUED |
BassReeves:Mr. Reeves, Pardon my inquiry, but what does your signature mean? You are determined sir, to "paint" me as "homophobic"..... |
Folks, I know that I said that I would write "no further", BUT I wanted to try something --one particular something before I try no more. I initially created this thread (which I have wanted to do for awhile now----in response to some accusations leveled against the church and me). All of the things that happened subsequently were a shock to me....and so I attempted to get some clarification and help to rectify the problem. Although I ultimately received no clarification as to correct and avoid any future issue, I decided to end the thread. Well I've had a moment to think clearly and with something I read this morning, and I want to try one last time. I must try. It may actually solve something for me. So without further ado, I would like to write what I wanted to address almost 2 weeks ago today. This thread is not for one person only...and never was it. When I write, it is and has always been with souls in mind. It is for those people who are searching.....for truth. |
Genesiis:Well said.... I think people forget that following God's Word--His standard--His bueprint (the Bible) on how best the world should function here on earth---is the obligation of one who professes belief in Whom He said He is. It is not a smorgasboard religion where one gets to choose what he/she believes to be truth or of little importance. In this world, unfortunately, there are negative consequences (99 percent of the time) for speaking the truth of God's Word. Followers of Christ shouldn't be surprised as we are told this in the Word. It is not "hate" to speak lovingly what God has told us to warn people of.....the results of living any type of lifestyle that is contrary to God's will and way. Sin covers a wide range of behavior..sins of commission and sins of omission. |
Hi to all, I will write nothing further on this thread. I think it may be best to end it. I appreciate any help rendered. I wanted to write about: 1).Ellen G. White 2).The Sabbath day 3). The Sanctuary (Christ' ministry in the Most Holy Place right now) 4).The distinctive message that truly defines the Seventh-day Adventists doctrine (other than just the Sabbath day): which is the "3 Angels message" In an earlier thread, I left a link to the church's beliefs...so for anyone interested, prayerfully seek the Holy Spirit for understanding. I leave this thread encouraging anyone curious about the church to always first and foremost seek the Lord Jesus Christ, pray and surrender your life to Him. Because in the end, remember that it is all about Him and what He has done for us all. |
WHO IS ELLEN G. WHITE AND WHAT WAS HER ROLE TOWARDS THE CHURCH? In the church's beliefs are "Spiritual Gifts/Ministry" & "The Gift of Prophecy", (both scripturally based). Ellen G. White is the messenger of God that Seventh-day Adventists believe God chose to reveal important messages regarding prophecy & Christian living. She was one of the founding members, including her husband James White & Joseph Bates. They formed after William Miller, the originator of the Millerite movement, misinterpreted the prophetic date of 1844---thinking that would be the time of Jesus' return to earth. It was not. Something significant happened, but it was not Jesus' return. Seventh-day Adventists formed after studying the scriptures to find out where the Millerites had originally misinterpreted the prophecy. What many people do not know is that Mrs. White was not the original person chosen to do this important, sobering work of having the gift of prophecy. There were (2) men before her who refused the call of God and who later admitted it. (Would have to read through more work to know that). So God called her and although reluctant at first, she accepted. Mrs. White (who had a third/fourth grade education) had written over 5000 periodicals and 40 books during her lifetime. She is one of the most widely translated authors in history and covers a very wide range of subjects including prophetic events/prophecy, councils on health/diet, dress reform, Christian living/ relationships etc. One statement that was made by someone was that Mrs. White's books are revered more (by me) than the bible. However, his statement is false. Seventh-day Adventists get accused frequently of idolizing Mrs. White more than the bible. While there may be some in the faith who tend to venture towards fanaticism....the official statement of the church is to hold the bible as the ultimate authority. That is what I do....the bible first. The majority of my posts and interactions have revolved around the bible. I have also repeatedly used Isaiah 8:20 (KJV) as my reference for anyone who claims or claimed to be a "prophet/prophetess"/messenger of God...including Ellen G. White and I, personally, am convinced that she indeed was. Out of her 40 books written, I chose to highlight (2) of her books here on N.L. I posted (3) chapters from one of the most important books that I have ever read, "The Great Controversy"--an historical, present and future book of prophecy for the world-- and (2) chapters from another of the most important books I have ever read, "The Desire of Ages" --an account of the life & Ministry of Jesus Christ--. Another very beautifully written book and small book is entitled, "Steps To Christ". What I found interesting, though, is that a rather popular Nairaland member in one of the most popular sections of this site --the Romance section-(of whom I never conversed with nor do I know of his religious affiliation or his views on religion in general) even referenced one of her writings in support of a thread he created regarding relationships! How I even found that thread had to only have been through the Holy Spirit. So even the non-religious (if he is) see the God-given wisdom in her writings. Mrs. White's books were never to take the position of being greater than the greatest book on earth--the bible. She even stated that numerous times. The messages and prophecy were to always line up with scripture.... An accusation was hurled regarding my personal stance on women NOT being called to "pastoral ministry" and yet Ellen White (a member of the SDA church) being a messenger of God. She was a prophetess....not a pastor or elder. As I have stated numerous times on Nairaland via multiple threads, women have been called to ministry. Women are very special in God's eyes and oftentimes are the backbone of the church. Examples: Deborah, Esther, Miriam, and many more etc., Women fulfill countless roles within the church (including prophesying), however, "pastoring" is not one of them. God has equipped and called men to head the church (pastoring) in that capacity. That has always been my conviction since giving my life to Christ. I know that many will disagree with me and that's ok. |
Moderators, is it permissible for me to continue my thead please? I wasn't finished posting. Please help me to know how to avoid any future ban? I would sincerely and surely appreciate it. |
Part 7 A brief summary of the church's history and "founders" revolves around William Miller, (a former Baptist minister) to whom the "Millerite" movement was named after. Miller is best known for his belief that Christ' imminent return would be in 1844....(later termed the "Great Disappointment). While Miller had the date right, he had the event wrong. Something did occur in 1844 concerning Christ, but it was not His second coming. Some followers left the faith and the remaining studied what happened in 1844...and where they went wrong in their belief....hence the birth of Seventh-day Adventists. The three prominent figures (or founders) to emerge during that time were also members of other denominations---before formally becoming "adventists". They were James & Ellen G. White (husband/wife) and Joseph Bates. |
