When I was a kid, I remember this was one of the first scriptures taught to us kids at Sunday School. It still holds that same truth today and is a great reminder of who we need to be to others.
Eph 4:29-32 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.vil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
Many 7th Day Adventists tell you that they believe that you are saved by grace through faith but then they add on the good works like the Sabbath Laws and the Unclean Food laws and tithing to the end of your life!!
Titus 3:3,4: At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another. But when the kindness and **LOVE** of God our Savior appeared , He saved us, **NOT BECAUSE OF RIGHTEOUS THINGS WE HAD DONE**, but because of **HIS MERCY**!!
John 1:12,13: To all who received Him, to those who believed in His name, he gave the right to become children of God--children born not of natural descent, **NOR OF A HUMAN DECISION** or a husband's will but, **BORN OF GOD**!!
John 6:37,39,44,65: Jesus says, "**ALL** that the Father gives Me **WILL** come to Me, and whoever comes to Me I will **NEVER** drive away... And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that I shall **LOSE NONE** of all that He has given Me, but raise them up at the Last Day.... No one can come to Me **UNLESS** the Father who sent Me **DRAWS HIM**, and I will raise him up at the Last Day!!... No one can come to Me **UNLESS** the Father has **ENABLED THEM**!!"
Ephesians 2:8,9: For it is by **GRACE** you have been saved, through **FAITH**—and this **NOT FROM YOURSELVES**, it is the **GIFT OF GOD**—not by works. So that no one can boast. For we are **GOD'S WORKMANSHIP**, created in Christ Jesus to do **GOOD WORKS**, which God prepared in advance for us to do!
Romans 6:23: The wages of sin is death, but the **GIFT OF GOD** is **ETERNAL LIFE**!
Galatians 4:9,10: How is it that you are turning back to those weak and miserable principles? Do you want to be enslaved by them all over again? You are observing **SPECIAL DAYS** and months and seasons and years. I fear for you. that somehow I have wasted my efforts on you!!
Colossians 2:16,17: Do dot let anyone judge you by what you **EAT** or drink, or with regard a special festival, a New Moon celebration or a **SABBATH DAY**! These are a **SHADOW** of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found **IN CHRIST**!!
In the New Testament **EVERY DAY** is the **LORD'S DAY** especially **TODAY**!!
Acts 2:44-46: All the believers were together and had everything in common. They sold property and possessions to give to everyone who had need. **EVERY DAY** they continued to meet together!!
Hebrews 3:12,13: See to it brothers and sisters that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God. But **ENCOURAGE ONE ANOTHER **DAILY**, as long as it is called **TODAY** so that none of you may be hardened by sins deceitfulness!
7th Day Adventists also believe you have to keep all the OT eating laws!!
Mark 7:18,19: Jesus says, "Are you so dull?" He asked. "Don't you see that nothing that enters a man from the outside can make him 'unclean'? For it doesn't go into his heart but into his stomach, and then out of his body." In saying this. Jesus declared ALL FOODS "CLEAN!"
Exodus 31:14-16: Observe the Sabbath, because it is holy to you. Anyone who desecrates it is to be put to death; those who do **ANY WORK** on that day must be **CUT OFF** from their people... Whoever does **ANY WORK** on the Sabbath day is to be **PUT TO DEATH**!
TeddyHugger: Be very careful about going to a 7th Day Adventist Church for they may **STONE YOU TO DEATH** if they find out that you did **ANY WORK** on the Sabbath or if they find out that you believe in the **SINLESS PERFECTION** and **FLAT EARTH** fairy tales!!
Ephesians 2:8,9: For it is by **GRACE** you have been saved, through **FAITH**—and this **NOT FROM YOURSELVES**, it is the **GIFT OF GOD**—not by works. So that no one can boast. For we are **GOD'S WORKMANSHIP**, created in Christ Jesus to do **GOOD WORKS**, which God prepared in advance for us to do!
Romans 6:23: The wages of sin is death, but the **GIFT OF GOD** is **ETERNAL LIFE**!
end of quotes of Bible that Richard7744 quotes from.
AMEN Richard7744! That is exactly the verse my SDA friend says his "church" teaches from, he told me so! He said we are saved by grace through FAITH and NOT of ourselves, for it is a wonderful gift of our Creator! He also said Romans 6:23 was one of his favorite verses that tells us what happens to continual sinners in the end of this world! The wages of sin is death in a lake of fire! Burned up and destroyed the Bible says! Thanks for sharing Bible truth Richard7744!
But then Richard7744 strangely says the SDA "church" says this below???
"Many 7th Day Adventists tell you that they believe that you are saved by grace through faith but then they add on the good works like the Sabbath and tithing to the end of your life!!" end quote
The very same verse Richard7744 quotes and keeps is the same verse my friend quotes from!!! The Bible does not say to "add on the good works" as Richard7744 states but we are to be "created in Christ Jesus to do **GOOD WORKS**, which God prepared in advance for us to do!" My SDA friend says they teach and keep this whole verse, so what's up with you Richard7744 saying they dont???
I talked with him on the phone Richard7744 and he says they keep the WHOLE verse of "Ephesians 2:8,9: For it is by **GRACE** you have been saved, through **FAITH**—and this **NOT FROM YOURSELVES**, it is the **GIFT OF GOD**—not by works. So that no one can boast. For we are **GOD'S WORKMANSHIP**, created in Christ Jesus to do **GOOD WORKS**, which God prepared in advance for us to do!"
He went on to say that we are NOT saved by the law but saved by grace through FAITH just as the verse says! He said once we ARE saved, then by his power and might we go on to become "**GOD'S WORKMANSHIP**, created in Christ Jesus to do **GOOD WORKS**, which God prepared in advance for us to do!" Just as you stated!
Why are you singling out the Sabbath command? It is ONE of ten commandments, right? What if I quoted the Bible on how it says to put people to death that murder others and say to you its ok to murder now, not to have our current laws put criminals in prison for killing? Nobody is putting people to death for not keeping the Sabbath today because YHWH will judge those people when He comes! Same goes for WILLFULLY BREAKING any of the other 9 commandments that we have no man made laws to enforce those, except for murder and stealing! Right? So do you think its ok to have other gods, images, take His name in vain, steal, murder, lie, covet, commit adultery etc??? YOU MAKE NO SENSE RICHARD???
Many 7th Day Adventists tell you that they believe that you are saved by grace through faith but then they add on the good works like the Sabbath Laws and the Unclean Food laws and tithing to the end of your life or you will **LOSE YOUR SALVATION**. And so the **FREE GIFT OF GOD** is **TOTALLY DEPENDENT ON YOUR **GOOD WORKS**!!!! Teddy Hugger loves these beliefs since he believes in **SINLESS PERFECTION** and that you are the complete captain of your soul!!
I John 1:9,10: If we claim to be without sin, we **DECEIVE OURSELVES and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. If we claim we have not sinned {Like TeddyHugger} we make Him out to be a liar and His truth is not in us{
Luke 11:1-3: The disciples asked Jesus "Lord, teac us to pray. Jesus said to His Disciples, "When you pray, say: "Father allowed be your name, you Kingdom come. Give us each day our daily bread. **FORGIVE US OUR SINS**, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us!"
However **SALVATION IS 100 PERCENT FREE** and **ETERNAL REWARDS ARE 100 PERCENT EARNED for faithful sand loving service!!
Titus 3:3,4: At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another.
