What do you think? This troubles me, even though I agree with the position of BRI on WO.

Who is sovereign? Doesn't the Father know the day and hour of Christ's coming? Can the actions of Adventists delay (or hasten) his coming?

And am I to understand that the world can only be evangelized (so that Jesus can return) by Seventh-day Adventist males?

Can somebody prove to me that this isn't seriously twisted?

Don't worry about it.

Adventists actually DO believe their actions can delay the return of Christ.

Leifl - Res

Agreed the article is satire but it is really eerie how similar is it is to many of their real pronouncements.

I did not read the article. Personally i believe only the Father knows the day and the hour. However, generally SDA's believe they can hussle up Jesus or slow Him down becsuse EGW said the SDA message has to be taken to every land before He comes again.

Adventism is such a control-wielding religion...actually not that different from all works religions. But all that need to control themselves, each other, and God yields a huge load of existential anxiety!

Well, it so happens that the satire is not far from reality:

Just when you THINK somebody has lampooned Adventism with a sharp satire; the cult turns around and shocks everyone by surpassing even the most lunatic and extreme satire.

Jdpascal~

Click on 'Leifi's' link in his post #104 for the "jesus has not come" article,
it worked for me~ Then the one I posted for the 'ordination of women', both should get you what you are looking for~

This reminds me of the front cover of the magazine Signs of the Times. On the cover was Jesus and satan duking it out with light sabors all dressed up in Star Wars garb. Remember that? Where on the internet can i find the picture?

That's a really super cool picture. I hadn't known that Jesus and satan arm wrestled. Maybe the SDA's or the JW's can do one with Jesus and satan doing paper, rock, siccors. That's a good one too. I think I'll forward the arm wreatling picture to my super SDA kin. They think I am mocking their religion when I do that but I think heck, it's from their own publcations. Please try finding the one on the front of the Signs with Jesus and Darth Vader duking it out with their light sabors. Thanks.

Several years ago, Jay Leno had that picture of Jesus and satan fighting with the light sabers. It was in one of his segments about funny things in newspapers, etc. I think it was "Signs of the Times". I'm looking on line too, but no luck so far.
