But you shouldn't let people get you far from God and his word. What the pastor said is something you would have decoded yourself and be the one correcting others, not to give up on the word because you didn't like what another individual said. But it's good he explained it well

I do perceive that brother and Pastor Skeete was being a bit diplomatic in his response regarding the drums/music. Though it is true that God convicts individuals at different points in their Christian journey, it is for those who have had the maturity and experience with God to teach those who are living in error, to observe all things which Christ has commanded us to observe. I do not usually have an issue with brother Skeets responses but this one was taken out of context and was not addressed properly. Sister White clearly states that at the *_"close of probation"_* by which music is demarcated by the loudness and manner in which the instruments are being played, gives strong evidence about where we are in reference to the timeline concerning eternity. So we clearly see and hear the identifying marks written by the pen of the prophetess concerning this very topic, given by the Spirit of Truth to warn God's people of an error, how can we then downplay the significance of the signs and counsels comcerning those who are partaking of this obvious abomination? Had it not only been an issue but also an abomination, why would there be given an identifying mark about the close of probation where musick, specifically, is mentioned? It is something for us to deeply consider and prayerfully ask God for complete clarity on. It is not as light a matter as some, or most, are making it out to seem.

@@sambulelongwenyama9563 I read Southern Work. After that book came out many Black people left the church. There are things EGW said that have me scratching my head. Please find that book and read it. I will not tolerate excuses for some of the things written in that book. After all, she was human. God was angry with Moses once or twice for things that came out of his mouth. David was a man after God's Heart but did vile things, these too, were humans.

I have never seen that in any SDA church I have been to.

Yes, that's the trend thats been going on and many of them say they're SDA but their apparels show otherwise...

​@@cbvagabond....that's very trendy in some black churches around the country these days

Is that really so?

@@camilleanselm7788 They’re SDAs, or were raised as SDAs. They just don’t have the traditional look anymore. Have you seen the Oakwood University Church pews lately? You send your kids there and the next thing you know is, there’s jewelry everywhere. They’re so bold now that the choir members/Praise Team members wear them on the podium. I have also noticed many who may be Professors decked out when they are not in the Praise Cafe or participating in podium activities. Salvation is an individual path; we must look to Jesus, and Jesus only. We need to study the Bible, read microscopically and ask for the Holy Spirit’s guidance. Ted Wilson has a KZfaq message about the current situation in our churches. Are the musicians Adventist? I don’t know, let God be their Judge. However my prayer is that we all keep striving towards the mark of the high calling in Christ Jesus. The matter of jewelry has been a topic of discussion for eons in our church. I am ambivalent and understand Isaiah 3:16-24 and Timothy on clothing and accessories differently as I don’t pick out what I want from those Scriptures to make my point on whether jewelry is salvific or not. I love the old fashioned clean look of SDAs for which we are known and keep in mind that every time the children of Israel needed to recommit themselves, the jewelry had to be taken off…

There is an option for subtitles on KZfaq itself. if you click on the gear with the label 'Settings', the option that is the fourth from the top is 'Subtitles/CC'. If you click on it, you will see an option to turn off subtitles, and an option called 'Auto-Translate'. Select 'Auto-Translate' and select Tamil as the language you want. It should then display Tamil subtitles. Alternatively, you can click the description, then click on 'Show Transcript'. You can copy the transcript and translate it manually via Google translate or an AI.

True, but following Christ's example explained in Steps to Christ chapter 1, he spoke the truth in love, eas never rude and used tact🙏🏽

Pastor Skeet always refers to the Bible. His duty as a pastor is to teach God's people the word of God. For things not specifically referenced in the Bible I believe he restrain himself yes because he understands people are at different stages of conversion and so will not do the work of the holy spirit-which is to convict the heart. He will give wise councils if that specific question is not addressed in the Bible. The thing is people want to hear a "yes" or "no" to satisfy the conscience, to quote that a pastor said it or justify the action of someone else. But let the spirit do his work...he's a man of "thus saith the Lord" God bless🎉

😂😂😂😂

😅😅😅😅, indeed that was not Christlike. Also it Could be his best friend trying to mess with him.

Happy question and answer sabbath members

This is a great observation/question. It has always bothered me that this practice is the opposite of the humility that Jesus demonstrated. I don’t need to know or care to know about any of their accomplishments, because it’s not about them. I would be so much more impressed by a Pastor who prohibited the person making the introduction from saying anything other than “Pastor so and so loves Jesus”. That visiting pastor is obviously the one that wrote the flowery biography and gave it because that is what they wanted shared. That is the opposite of humility.

Where in the scriptures does it say "every eye in the universe"?

@ndumisoduma1240 This is based on the understanding of what various text have informed us of, regarding the history of what happened before the creation of the world and what is to happen after the judgment. It is the same understanding that tells us that the angel of the Lord many times in scripture, refers to a pre-incarnate Christ. The Word talks about the unfallen worlds and Revelation talks about how all manner of heavenly creatures will proclaim how they are redeemed from the earth. When we understand that Lucifer's plot affected the entire universe, we understand that the unfallen worlds that make up the universe have a stake in our salvation. The heavenly council, which is made up of the sons of God who govern the unfallen worlds, delineated a few times in scripture concerning earthly matters. Sin entered into the universe before the creation of the earth and the judgement of Lucifer and the fallen angels also occured before creation. It was in heaven that Lucifer sought to destroy God's law and tarnish the name of The Creator. God has allowed Satan to altogether reveal himself so that there could be no doubt that God is just. Everyone is affected by sin and at it's conclusion, everyone will witness the justice of God.

​@@ndumisoduma1240 Don't be silly. You know exactly what Revelation 1:7 means. And yes, every eye in the universe will see the grandiose event of the 2nd coming. Remember the unfallen worlds...

why can't an adult man and an adult woman have a conversation in private? Is it written in the Bible that they can't?

« I don’t think ». As you said « I », we do not care. Only the word of God to her count. Your opinion is irrelevant.

Dont know wat us saying

Whilst God did allow man to eat meat to shorten their life, he gave 3 conditions for it. Needs to be clean meat, no fat and no blood in it. There is no partial obedience. If you are observing that the meat is clean but are continuing to eat it with the fat and blood in it, then you are disobeying

​@@RTG1031where did you read that Samson is in the roll call? Also being able to eat "clean meat" has its ending. When you cannot buy and sell, where will you get "clean meat" from? The correct diet is the one that God gave in Genesis chp 1. Now He permits or allows the eating of meat but in due course the Holy Spirit will convict the individual(s) of when it is time to come off of it.

@@alexandershaw2378 Please read the Faith chapter Hebrews 11. Jesus should not be in heaven then by your logic, He ate fish before His ascension Luke 24:40

@@pauliec7133 did you even read what I typed? Or are you seeking to start a controversy? Because I read and understood what you were saying but I am confident I cannot say the same thing in reverse. There *will come a time* when even the "meat" that is "clean" will be removed from the diet of believers. What is so difficult to understand that everything has its appointed time?

Adultery will keep you out of heaven. Because adultery is a sin.

not only adultery will keep you out of heaven but violation of any of the ten commandments of God. Because sin is the transgression of God's law. No sin could be admitted to heaven. Because sin is of the devil. The father of lies.

There is none ... No Not one... There are verses regarding... Gluttony... Lusting after whatever it may be... But regarding your question on eating meat... There is none... God does not change... His Word stands from the beginning to the end... A very prayerfull study of 1 Timothy 4:1-11 with the truth of Leviticus 11, is much needed by all God's people... Truth & law must be backed up by truth & law... As it is written in Isaiah 28:10 precept much be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little. Pray & ask of God... Let God lead you in Jesus name, asking for His Holy Spirit to Guide you. We need to be convicted & have faith in God's Word & stand in the conviction of His truth, using the Bible & the Bible along... Never obey man over God. EGW. Said go to the Bible & see what the LORD has said, & do what He commands... As for the rest you asked use the same principal go to the bible and see what the LORD has said.

Eating food will not keep you out of heaven, but disobedience will. If you know you are eating what God told you not to eat, it is disobedience.

​@@RightdoingisofGodall sins will keep us out of heaven

Worshipping must be done every day. The issue is: keeping the Sabbath holy as commanded after 6 days of creation: "8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: 10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: 11 For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. KJV - Exodus 20:8-11" And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. 4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. 6 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked. KJV - 1John 2:3 -6

Take up your issue with God regarding the Sabbath. If you DESIRE to be disobedient that is your choice. But if you want to obey that is your choice too. In Jesus name. Amen.

But you are nothing. Your opinion is irrelevant. God only can speak to her and tell her what’s to do.

So why Paul was preaching in the aeropee to the Greek ? Again, your opinion is irrelevant. Only the word of God. And he say to go and preach EVERYWHERE.

The society of unbelievers will do us no harm if we mingle with them for the purpose of connecting them with God and are strong enough spiritually to withstand their influence.-(Testimonies for the Church 5:112, 113.)

@@franklineemacar4734 I don't they will either. But because you'll be going to work to collect your salary. You'll have to do what You're paid to do. They can't be singing at an upbeat tempo and You're playing at slow or normal tempo. That's where the error in pastor's response is. The determines his sermon noting he didn't charge them for holding the services for them. Thus that was NOT A GOOD EXAMPLE. I don't think GOD WAS ON THE RESPONSE

We are to worship everyday, but not all days of the week is holy. It is only the seventh day which is holy. You can worship from Sunday to Friday but it is not a holy day. Only Saturday is holy day because it is the seventh day which the Lord blessed. Read exodus 20:8-11.

The Sabbath Day(Friday sunset to Saturday sunset)is a HOLY day and one of the commandments. It's in the Bible. Nothing wrong with reading and studying the Bible throughout the week but he specifically set aside Sabbath and declared it to be a HOLY day.

Of course we are to worship on a daily basis, when Jesus was on earth He did the same, but on the Sabbath He went into the synagogue to worship, and teach, St. Luke 4:16

Yes there is something wrong with first day worship, Jesus said, Remember the Sabbath day, man says, Remember Sunday to keep it holy.
