7th day adventists
by yaddayadda incan anyone direct me to a good website or thread on here that talks about any spin-off groups after they officially accepted the trinity doctrine, in the early 1980's i think, in order to join the world council of churches.
was there any fragmentation in the 7th day adventists when this happened?
any help would be appreciated.

Gday Yadayyadda, Let me say that the official teaching of the SDAs is the trinity doctrine and that is what they would teach you before baptism and you would be expected to beleive it before you were baptised. If you happened to change youre mind in the course of youre studies and you may also happen to read some early Adventist writers dissagreements with the trinity.My Dad knows an SDA elder that is Arian and beleives the same as the JWs . The old hymn Holy Holy Holy early Adventist Hymn books ended with''Lord god almighty reigns eternally' and in newer hynmn books ends with 'God in three persons holy trinity' in the same ending other trinitarian churches use.The trinity doctrine in the SDAs is not a hot topic and wouldnt create much of a stir if you were to oppose it. The righteousness by faith debate is what will raise the hackles in Adventist circles and will sometimes cause out and out arguements. Large sections of the SDAs have a Catholic theology while the other side embraces the doctrine of righteousness by faith held by the reformers. Barry

Im An SDA and to my knowledge no groups ha e split from the SDAs because of the change to the trinity doctrine. There are groups and individuals in the SDAs that dont beleive the trinity doctrine even today. As far as I know the SDA church is not affiliated with the world council of churches but they do have their representatives attending world council of church meetings. Barry

All christians are born again when they beleive. The problem with some penticostals is that to them born again is speaking is toungs to be saved . Some penticostals have hijacked the born again doctrine in this way.

Is Christmas for Pagans?
by LittleToe ingiven that so many practises associated with christmas are blatantly christian in origin, is christmas truly for pagans?.
i know that often there are few christian connotations attributed to it nowadays, in such a secularised society, but history is on record in showing that the whole baby jesus thing is definitely a christian element.
would any true pagan today want to drink such a mixed cup?.

I /dont have any Jewish blood in my veins so doesnt that make me a pagan? So yea christmas is for pagans. The jews celebrate hanooka about this time dont they?

Can I date a JW
by Mello Yellow inthis is troubling me.
i started dating a girl and the relationship lasted for a little while.
she then broke things off claiming she was in violation of her beliefs, the jw this and that, and how she'd "lose everything" if she was caught dating me.

I dated a JW girl for a while in my 20s. She was very strict about her being right and me being mistaken as Im an SDA. I would go to the Kingdom Hall with her but she wouldnt go to services at the SDA church not even once. She did come with me to church functions at the SDAs and liked them. Her grandfather is of the annointed and is probably in heaven now, but most of her family is very devout. Barry
