Different type of bible study
by freedom96 inlast night i went with a friend to a bible study promoted by his non-denominational church.. from time to time, some of the church will get together for a few weeks in someones home and have a study.
this one was six weeks long, and certainly was not manditory.. i entered the home, and instantly had flashbacks to book studies.
chairs were set out, but there was joy in the air.

Gday Anglise, I can understand youre concerns but I have been to most churches and bible studies they hold are all after a similar pattern to the one described here.
I often dissagree with church doctrines at the SDAs and I am a member there. To make it clear what I want to say I simply start by saying "This is not what the church teaches" "my beleif about this subject is". ..........
As long as youre approach is courtious kind and with christian love there is no problem. And if you are a cool guy like me it helps too.
If you are a trouble maker and try to take over meetings be disruptive rude and unchristian toward people you may have problems as you would in any club group or church. Barry

Gday Eugene,
So youre an SDA too from what ive read on the links you gave me. Some SDAs come on here now and then to keep me companybut youre the first in the last year or so.
Too bad our theology is so far apart even though we are members of the same denomination I promise I wont shun you, just joking mate.

There are and always have been only two religions in the world. The most popular religion is where humans endeavour to make themselves good enough for God to accept. It preaches: 'Be holy and God will love you".
But the true religion of the gospel proclaims: this man [the God-man] receives sinners' Luke15:2; God 'Justifies the ungodly": Romans4:5 for Christ goes to be guest with those who acknowledge themselves as sinners: Luke 19:7.
-False religion majors in law and minors in love.
-True religion majors in love and minors in law.
-The first majors in what God requires of us .
-The second majors in what God has done for us.
One religion puts all its stress on Christ our example.
The other puts its stress on Christ our substitute and representative.
One is a religion that leads to bondage, despair and death.
The other is a religion that leads to joy, salvation and life everlasting.
Scripture says that we were all ruined without asking for it and that we inherited a sinful nature. But the gospel teaches that we have all been saved without asking for it in the atoning work of jesus our Lord. See 2 Corinthians 5:14e-211. Romans 5:10,18-19.
Crucified With Christ.
The good news is that our sins were crucified with Christ and nailed to his cross. Therefore, the law has no more power to condemn us than to condemn Christ.
Barry , Youre spiritual cousin. These two religions are in my own denomination

Are Jehovah's Witnesses an Offshoot of the SDA?
by Eugene Shubert in.
it seems that many people believe that jehovah's witnesses are an offshoot of the seventh-day adventist church.
i've read many claims of this and wonder what the actual relationship is, if any.
