Thank you, Tim! What Will is attempting to do is ridiculous and nothing but a waste of time for everyone who reads his nonsense. Not to mention that we wasted several hours in our last Skype meeting discussing all this garbage when we could have been talking about other things. We really don't need people like this on the forum.
My apologizes Christopher. What I meant was I was raised Catholic and was then an Atheist before accepting Christ at 24. Sorry for the confusion.
I have been reading other posts and upon inspection I didn't really touch on my "repentance" testimony so I will do that now.
While still in the "Catholic Church" I witnessed my grandfather die. It was pretty sudden even though he was of age. I didn't know it at the time but Something inside of me was prodding me to open a bible. Once I opened the bible I looked at the law of God and was convicted through the Spirit. I have broken every single law of God. Sin is transgression of the law and the wages of sin is death. I have led a life of sin, rebellion, unbelief, adultery, hatred (murder), and many other things. I deserve death. The hardest part really for me is knowing that my righteousness is nothing but filthy rags! There is nothing I can do to earn favor. The only thing that saves me is the blood of Jesus Christ. That's probably the best way I can describe getting involved with the "SDAs". I thought the seventh day Sabbath of Exodus was still in effect but we rest in Jesus Christ! It was a dark time for me but I praise God for His long-suffering.
Hopefully I don't accidentally say something that may be confusing or contradictory now or in the future. If I did or do, I do apologize.
If you have any questions feel free to ask . I'm glad to be here.
(Matthew 7:4 KJV) Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
(Matthew 7:5 KJV) Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
I have noted that Chris teaches well, but rails on people (condemning them to hell) but he does not know their hearts. He also condemns doctrines like universalism yet there is not a study that backs up that claim. I can post biblical evidence of that doctrine, but it will most likely get me banned.
