For indeed, what good does it do to trust liberal scholars when there is no consistency with the ancient Christians and Jews? What good does it do to believe a lie that is only there to cause antisemitism against Jews fueled by a Nazi ideology that came from socialists in Germany, found its way here to America? I am referring to the progressive party and all their hateful ideologies that come with it. With you its a matter of accepting the ancient testimony which is consistent with conservative scholarship of today. Its just straight up Gospel and worship services for those who seek the Lord without distractions and sensational doctrines. So I left the misery and lies behind me and eventually began an Anglican Catholic which is an ancient church that has no special doctrines. I knew right then and there that the SDA church had deceived me. I knew the document was early 2nd century and long before Constantine.
What changed all that, besides their evil doctrine claiming the mark of the beast is Sunday observance, was a reading of Ignatius of Antioch. I was a Seventh Day Adventist for 20 years. You should not be angry with me but with those hollow philosophers who have deceived you and manipulated your mind.
I have quoted directly from documents that matter. He gives you commentary but quotes nothing that means anything. He has no basis in which to build his model upon. Only an apostate scholar like Paul H.Seely would make up his own model and pawn it off to the public as something the Bible teaches. Notice how real Bible scholars support the beliefs of the early church.
Bringing you the beliefs held by the early church is what I did. In order to get a better understanding of what Christians believed and their practices scholars today lack to the earliest centuries of Christ to learn more about the faith. These ancient people are what modern scholars study. Its a basic doctrine and one understood by the ancients who needed no lexicons to interpret anything.
The shape of the earth is not some prophecy about the end times that the early church fathers didn't understand. Look, if the Bible meant to say flat earth there would be tradition traced back to the 1st century of such a tradition.
