Future Darwin Award nominee?
i can’t do anything without God. He sustains us every second, that enables us to do whatever we want to do.
Sounds to me more like he wants to spend a year away from the Ten Commandments.
He’d better pray that God doesn’t decide to live a year without him.
A thousand years is like a single day to God.
Hey, you got in there before I did! My instant thought was, “Why, that’s perfect! It’s the ‘No True Scotsman’ fallacy!”
See my post 37
"But he who endures to the end will be saved" (Matthew 10:22)
Could be this——’Bell was asked to leave the congregation a week ago(April 2013), not by its members, but by the governing body—the administration of the Southern California Conference of the Seventh-day Adventist Church—after his theological and ideological convictions were deemed inconsistent with the trajectory of the Adventists.
When asked if he saw the termination coming, Bell—an LGBT ally and marriage equality advocate...’
Former Seventh-day Adventist Pastor Ryan Bell made an unusual New Year’s resolution: to live for one year without God.
He may think he is living a year without God.
God unlike man does not abandon his children.
God will be there at all times.
Silly human being...........
Sounds like a very strange SDA-er. According to his beliefs, homosexuality is OK but non-kosher diets and worshiping on Sunday instead of Saturday are sinful? :?
In terms of ‘kosher’, Sunday worship and other such behaviors, a goodly number of Adventists believe that the relationship with Christ aspect must come first with the ‘behaviors’ then resulting from that established relationship. The relationship ‘saves’ with ‘works’ being the natural result of that relationship. As a Christian and Adventist I believe that God can and will save homosexuals, prostitutes, rapists, murderers, thieves, pedophiles, liars, gossipers, addicts, sinners of all kinds. As long as individuals have established a true, active relationship with Christ, His blood covers their sins. Within that relationship individuals no longer CONTINUOUSLY, PURPOSELY engage in their former behaviors. This minister has chosen to believe that some of the a-fore mentioned behaviors can still be willingly engaged in while in that relationship which is contrary to Christian/Adventist belief. He apparently cannot square his beliefs with that of the Christian God so God is gone...at least for a year.
Well, he was Seventh Day Adventist, so not a Christian pastor.
It’s like deciding to spend a year without gravity. It’s there whether you claim to believe in it or not.
Bookmark! Just WOW!
maybe he can find his way to a less cultish church
