Her Church lied to her for 23 YEARS!

[DoubleClutch]

Isn't the point of being a Christian to strive to be like Jesus Christ? It seems like someone telling her all she has to do is believe in Christ did her a disservice and if this is common, it kinda explains why so many Christians are so un-Christlike. Just my two cents.

You gotta rewatch her video. It’s the principle.

The Bible is about forgiveness and redemption

She wasn’t being taught the message of the Bible

She was just being given rules and a religion to follow.

She should’ve been taught that you could never live up to gods holy standard and laws but GodS LOVE and mercy is a gift to us through Jesus and it is Gods offering a way out of SIN for FREE to those who believe

Being “christ-like” isn’t what makes you Christian

Being Christ-like is a by product of your faith.

Faith is key. Not works. God did the work.

You don’t earn your way into goods grace. You just accept it.

If you believe you need to do “A & B” for God to forgive you, it’s not unconditional love or a gift. That’s a reward or an exchange.

Theres are over 40k Christian denominations for a reason. There's alot of room for interpretation between what "believing in Christ" actually means. The Advent Church is not less Christian than the overwhelming majority of other denominations. She just may not like how this particular Church operates....this religion has so many denominations for that exact reasons.

Every couple of years, somebody wants to he different. This Russia-Urkaine conflict has lead to the creation of at least one new denomination of the orthodox catholic church.

There's not a lot of room for interpretation.

There's a lot of personalities in the church.

That's what causes a lot of divides

Clearly there is. Protestantism is built on it.

 

[The Realist Perspective]

If she is serious this is honestly sad. I really hope that soon black people wake up from this useless religion. The most religious people, given this religion by your slave masters. Clung to that religion, yet the god of that religion has not spared us from our oppressive circumstances.

WAKE. UP. YOU ARE BEING HAD.

 

[Maximus Rex]

Be a Christian for 23 years and not know about Martin Luther's Protestant Reformation in the 1500s

If you accept the gift, you still have to use it correctly.

Works are just important as Faith is.

Jesus said to “follow me”, “learn from me”, and “take my yoke”. A Yoke is tool that makes it easier to work.

If works didn’t matter, repentance wouldn’t be a thing.

 

[Black Panther]

This is stupid.

Not what she posted, that's her spiritual journey. It's this thread.

I am close to several people who were raised 7th Day Adventist. I am not. (Nor will I ever be, for multiple reasons.)

I have been to several Adventist churches, fellowshipped with them, and have listened to many Adventist sermons.

To claim that they generally don't preach the main Gospel message is false.

The girl who posted this either went to a concerningly terrible church, or she's lying for internet clout.

Repentance comes before any works

Their is no amount of works that can make up for a lack of faith

Belief is not a tangible thing that can be measured. It’s not a “gift” to be used but an invitation into starting a relationship

…and an “invitation“ is at the beginning of something.
At the beginning of a relationship there is an agreement (expressed or latent) that you will work to keep
that relationship healthy. In this case, we have been told how to keep good relations: “observe my commandments”.

And we repent each time when infract, and work to turn around.
