@RealRangoStarr@realgid3on Early SDA pioneers (James White, Bates, Uriah Smith and others) rejected the Trinity and held Arian or semi-Arian views that Christ had a beginning. Official Adventist histories confirm this anti-Trinitarian period until the 1890s–1930s, after which the church adopted the
Many people think that the words “Artificial Intelligence” are inaccurate, and very ineloquent, relative to AI, or Artificial Intelligence. A far more elegant and accurate description of this new phenomena would be Superior Intelligence (SI) or, Extreme Intelligence (EI) or,
@realgid3on Seventh Day Adventists believe Jesus Christ is Michael the Archangel.
You guys used to be Arian. Now you’re Trinitarian.
I said *originally* for a reason, homeslice 😮💨🤙
@OneGodPodcast I have been listening to your podcast this past week. On episode 20.
You make some really good arguments for Unitarianism
What is your opinion about a Biblical Unitarian attending a Trinitarian church?
On August 29, 2026, Dr. George Antonios (affirmative) debated Dr. Dustin R. Smith (denying) on the topic "Is the Doctrine of the Trinity Taught in the Bible?" This was a respectful and cordial debate, resulting in the conclusion that, no, the doctrine is not explicitly taught by
I am very interested in the history of the Church from 1830 - 1844.
I think that Church effectively ended when Joseph Smith died, and the two major sects to emerge from the original Church were the LDS and the RLDS.
Both went seperate paths, and the differences are fascinating.
I believe Joseph Smith had visions, but I do not believe these visions were identical to what is now the official Church narrative. He likely edited them to fit his agenda (whatever that was), and some claimed visions were likely false (like John the Baptist).
The Church only releases numbers when it makes them look good.
They’re incredibly dishonest about how they present their data.
Of those 90,000, I bet at least half leave the Church within the next 5 years.
You won’t see that kind of data being shared with members.
The 90,000 LDS missionaries is a bit of an illusion. A temporary surge.
It’s called a double-cohort wave.
When the church lowered the age for sister missionaries to 18, it opened the floodgates.
You suddenly get 18-year-olds entering the field at the exact same time as the
LDS: the Bible says Moses spoke to God face to face
Me: its a term for intimate relationship. Jesus said no one has ever seen the Father but him
LDS: But it clearly says face to face so he must have saw God!
Me: so wait, in your view, did Jesus lie?
Arguing with Jesus....
@surskitmaxxing Absolutely. Something I admire about them is there honesty about that fact.
My theory is that the RLDS represent the exoteric Restoration and the LDS represented the esoteric Restoration (before they decided to abandon Adam-God and polygamy).
