The Shack - Seventh-day Adventists' Leading Forum

Welcome with open arms fellow believers who don’t see things the way you do.
And don’t jump all over them every time they do or say something you don’t agree with
– even when it seems that they are strong on opinions but weak in the faith department.
Remember, they have their own history to deal with. Treat them gently. Romans 14.1: The Message

This one statement is opposed to everything the Bible and Ellen White has ever written about salvation! Yes it is.

rudywoofs who? Registered: 2005-07-15 Posts: 7601	Have you read "The Shack"? Or are you simply taking the words of others' opinions about it and making them your own? _________________________ Pam There's no point in burying a hatchet if you're going to put up a marker on the site. ~ Sydney Harris He who speaks the truth, often talks to himself. ~ Mexican proverb

Stan Very Adventist Registered: 2006-09-15 Posts: 6146 Loc: Adventistan	Just because words are in a book you do not have to swallow everything hook, line and sinker. EGW read the contemporary religious writings, but does that mean she hung on to every word? I sure hope not. When I was an ABC manger, and was for 20 years, I sold a set of two books, one was Hal Lindsay Late Great Planet earth, tied in with a Dr. Samuele Bacchiocchi rebuttle of that, some folks went off the deep end with me because I was selling Hal Lindsays book, which is NOT in harmony with our believes. I also sold the top 10 best selling Christian books, if you do not know what they are reading you are out of touch and will only be able to converse with other adventists. If reading those books will make you fall away, then it is only pushing up the time. _________________________ Stan Even when it seems that they are strong on opinions but weak in the faith department.

That's kind of a problem for your argument. _________________________ "Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much." - Oscar Wilde “Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you.
