I'm not sure that your perception is correct in saying that you are here to "check on what's going on and what's being taught". It's not a matter of what is being taught. This is a discussion group; not a doctrinal determinant.
You will find doctrinal topics down further in that particular section. We do have friends who are not SDA as members here.
Thank you for the welcome, Chrissie.
Not sure I understand what you mean. I've been perusing the doctrinal topics and am finding that much of the 'discussion' is teaching. That is what I came to 'check on'. For me and many others it is completely a matter of what is being taught. Before I would recommend someone to a site I want to know what is being taught and who is doing the teaching? What is the gist of discussion/teaching from those who control the site?
I do know of a couple of sites that discuss SDA beliefs and some of the difficulties/problems that allow for complete open discussion on those topics. Does this site encourage open discussions, regardless of who is teaching or of the outcome (using Scripture - of course) or is only one side of the discussion allowed while the other is banned or strongly encouraged to leave by those who are allowed to discuss/teach?
I ask only because I've been a part of many (many!) discussion boards and this one is a new one to me. So based on the nuances of this post, would I be welcome here or run off, even though I would be only about discussing beliefs based on Scripture, not about the individuals who may or may not hold those beliefs?
Again, thanks for the welcome...but am I really welcome?
In CHRIST alone...
