Bible Note: hi hank, i am a former devout adventist. i was raised believing eg white was god's messenger for the remnant of the last days. i stayed away from church many years until recently. i went back and began reading the bible for my self, i mean really reading it only to find that churches, and i have been to many, only tell you what they want you to hear, just so they can scare you into parting with your hard earned dollar. they are like many bible scholars, their explanations are more confusing than what the authors of the bible are actually saying. many scholars simply resort to "context" as an explanation. but no one has ever answered properly according to the context of the bible which should be "god's word," perfect without confusion. |
