I'm still trying to work out if: I'd be more disappointed if I see the end of One Piece before Jesus comes. Or if Jesus comes before One Piece ends, and I won't be disappointed. I'm hoping for the latter.

In Noahs time it was this way. Many believed at first and then slowly melted away. These were Noahs fiercest enemies. But theres an interesting prophetical concept that is yet on the horizon of when Gods people (non-adventists) will be called into the ranks "come out of her my people and be not partakers of her sins".
Wonderful Presentation by Ty Gibson. Please try not to interrupt when he is trying to explain his point of view. He has been rudely interrupted several times. Not intentionally to be rude but when you speak while another has the floor so to speak and you keep butting in and interrupting his chain of thought that is rude and not the sign of being good hosts. Thank you.
The mixture of unorthodox teaching and reverence of Ellen G White, a false prophetess, make this video incredibly damaging to those who don't have a deeper understanding of biblical doctrine. I pray that your ministry is brought under the truth and power of God.
We have two big issues. First, all of us, human beings have a fight against hypocrisy. This is the most dangerous issues when we talk about it. The second, is very simple. We are not against the people about LGBT, or adultery or thief, is about sin, is about their practices. God's word is against all of these practices or attitudes, period! This is the point is very highlighted by Danny Shelton in his sermons. Jesus accepts the people but is totally against the sins, just see what he did for adultery woman, he forgave her but said "go and not commit adultery again", that is the key!
Saddened to say this: remove the hashtag "humour". Do you realise that you do not have a history of comments in your shorts😢
Hope these 3 guys are not really SDA Pastors. If by chance they are... there is the problem with the SDA church and why she has lost her identity. If these guys cannot support the SDA message, then they need to move on. I came out of the Sunday-keeping evangelical church, and Myles is indeed preaching a false gospel. ''Christians are not divided on the cardinal doctrines'' (Myles) is absolutely absurd! Jesus went to hell and preached to who? So, there's a second chance in hell? Look, we are different! I'm not a multi-generational SDA, and it's my testimony the SDA message is valid. It's time SDAs stop worrying about what others think and embrace it! Myles steamrolled every one of them, and that's really sad.
Everything's a joke-got it.
This isn't dignified. I fully expect it isn't meant to be, but it certainly isn't. After listening to the Ty Gibson interview; then this, I'm not sure what the purpose of this podcast actually is. It seems like some serious navel-gazing, but I'm going to listen to the first episode next, which seems to be titled as to indicate purpose. Just thought I'd see if I could invoke some typical boomer hate (I'm 60-I just barely qualify). 😃
Id love to see that model
What blasphemous heretic Wilson is pontificating is Jesus is a Levitical priest engaged in Levitical priest work, and still trying to complete his atonement in a heaven that has been contaminated and defiled by sins that have been transferred into heaven by Jesus. The Adventist Jesus is investigating believers in Himself and has placed them on probation. Ted is a blasphemous heretic going to eternal hell with a Bible in his hand.
Loves Jesus supremely? What? Adventists don’t love Jesus. Adventists have created a fantasy Jesus that they worship as an idol. The Adventist Jesus has a sinful nature and was an angel promoted to the Godhead. All four of the blasphemous heretics are disgusting accusers of the brethren
Three Bible illiterate biblical folks listening to a paid liar for the Adventist business.
Adventists are suppose to be the only last days remnant church free from confusion, division, and dysfunction. Adventists are a hot mess. Adventists are a three ring circus, and the blasphemous heretics here are clowns in the circus. Adventists have chosen to be enemies of the body of Christ. Adventists are going to eternal hell with a Bible in their hand.
I have watched about half of the conversation. I can understand where Myles is coming from. I also see it as quite obvious that he is a very hard line fundamentalist with little room for nuance. I am surprised that no one challenged him at 1 hour 13 minutes when he said that by SDAs preaching a false gospel they are sending millions of people to hell.
Hey guys!! Thanks for the episode, it’s been a blessing. Can I ask, what cameras you use? Thank you 🙏🏿
I have to wonder why you don't ask questions that should be asked. DEI at the school. What are his thought about the Hamas vs Israel protests on so many universities, does that happen at WWU?
But if not for that thing in your hand I will not be part of this discussion.
Double edged sword.
@@francoisrall1400 I believe he was mainly concerned about how phones have affected how we as people communicate at the local level which has been all but lost. Technology is making difficult for our young people to interact with vulnerability and humility. But it’s still a helpful medium for sending information through the interwebs.
Love your guys show! It has helped me In joining the SDA church. Seriously, if it wasn’t for listening to your conversations of your concerns about some of the fundamentalism and exclusiveness that some people in the church believe in. I come from nondenominational Sunday church background. I have been totally welcomed, and the Adventist worldview has helped shaped my faith. I believe that Adventism is bigger than just the end of times message or specifically every single thing that Ellen White has ever said, like Melissa schiffbauer said in the episode you had with her. Coming from a Sunday convert, the message of God is love and for people to see us acting that out is water for our thirsty souls as humans. Keep up the good work you guys are a blessing.
This guy needs to be GC Conference President.
Thats my president right there!! Can't wait to hear what you guys have to talk about
The heretic on the right is delusional. He’s a proud demonic cultist pontificating the Adventist proclamation that God gave Adventists the full gospel and a clearer and deeper revelation of God. He’s a liar like his father the devil. He’s a blasphemous heretic harming every person he comes into contact with.
The Adventist heretic on the right just said the Adventist distinctive doctrines display the character of God. It’s an asinine comment because the Adventist view of the character of God is horrendous, and it’s not biblical. The Adventist character of God comes from a train wreck human named Ellen, who was a psychological mess.
The grinning, laughing. Jesse, is disgusting. He says there are shifting definitions of the investigative judgment heresy. Adventists are stuck with the definitions of daughter of the Devil Ellen. She’s the Adventist prophet. Everything she said was barricaded by a thus saith the Lord.
Far left heretic doesn’t understand Adventism is an inflexible system. It’s rigid and unmovable. If you don’t agree with the pillar doctrines why are you playing your asinine game of wannabe Adventist?
2 hours and 37 minutes of three childish, asinine, buffoon’s pathetically trying to defend the indefensible. I had to stop three times because I couldn’t tolerate the weak, effeminate, soy boys another second. The heretics refuse to stand up and own Adventist doctrine. It’s yours- just own it.
Why should you remain in the Adventist demonic cult advocating for the gospel? Adventists should have gotten the gospel correct from the get go. Adventists have their own present day gospel applicable to today. It’s a different gospel meaning all three Adventists are cursed by God.
“ Nitpicking”? You can’t even get the Trinity correct, and you accuse Myles of nitpicking. You are pathetic, Jesse.
Adventists believe what other Christians believe? That’s a lie. Adventists aren’t Christians and actual Christians don’t promulgate Jesus was an Angel elevated to the Godhead, and who had a sinful nature. You are incapable of being truthful, Jesse.
The spirit that birthed the mongrel dog - evil doer Adventist abomination was a demonic spirit. The reason the pioneers pressed on after the great debacle was pride and a stubborn refusal to admit error. Ellen was a proud narcissist. All three of the Adventist pastors are proud narcissistic pompous Pharisees. The pathetic excuses to stay in a cult that Jesus hates are laughable
Jesse, you think grinning and laughing is appropriate for the serious discussion? You are not psychologically healthy. You also are not a Christian
Simple question that the grinning heretic in the center dodged. Would you throw out the investigative judgment? Yes or no? Oh, we don’t have time t discuss. Coward - answer the question. The discussion goes n fr 0 more minutes. Guarding your paycheck, heretic?
All of the pioneer Adventists should have been submitted to a pastor - teacher. They had Bo ability to study holy writ. They weren’t even Christians
A prophet was a messenger of God. Why would Ellen need to evolve? She was a blasphemous heretictil she died
I remember an SDA school staff going around SDA churches before school starts, promoting the school saying: If you are a baker with your own bakery, but everyday you go and buy bread at another bakery, then theres a problem. Saying, all SDA members should enroll their kids in a SDA schools. HA! The SDA schools in my time, the "bad influence kids" were mostly... wait for it... adventists! So, its so sad and dumb that they are many parents that still think that non sda kids are bad influence and should go to another school. It's about the mission
I am feeling compelled to reply again. I have been out of Adventism now for many years and have no real interest in returning. In listening to this and to the interview with Tim Gillespie I am reminded of the privilege some have in Adventism due to location. There are options and varying views in certain parts of the country. In others, the proclamations made by Ted and others such as Shelton and Batchelor are the Holy Writ and they cannot be challenged.
At around minute 21 in the talk of fear of being deceived, you are describing an obsessive slide into darkness. I would suggest that a psychiatric examination of Ted would find a personality that would explain his beliefs. The church body enables him.
We would never be caught in a Pentecostal church. And if you knew black and soulful white SDA churches you’d know they sing like this as well.
When you use a lesser light to find your way into the greater light, on arrival, you no longer need the lesser light. Shut it off.
I would guess Danny doesn't support Falwell mostly because he has been dead since 2007.
It should be noted that none heterosexual behavior is not mention in the 10 Commandments. On one hand it seems as though the 10 are used in defining sin and then LGBT... is somehow grandfathered into it, or something.
Satan is the Accuser of the Brethren and the Father of Lies! What else would we expect them to call the REMNANT CHURCH? We knew it was coming.
The real reason why you Myles, are an ex-Adventist really stems from a self worship on your part, in the church. You were always trying to present some new understanding of plain scripture at church, always trying to find some hidden meaning, that only you, in your supposedly elevated opinion of yourself, was wise enough to see and could understand, or was able to find. But when those, who are actually well beyond you in learning and understanding, tried to steer you back on course by showing you the real meaning of the verses you were trying to twist, with scripture, because of your self exalted opinion of yourself, you became offended. Eventually everyone was looking at you in the low degree of understanding that you actually possess, rather than this all wise exalted opinion of yourself that only you saw. You convinced yourself that you are right and everyone else is in error, regardless of the evidences stating otherwise. You basically wanted people to fall all overs themselves in a form of worship at how smart you are but instead it was just the opposite. When you spoke in church it was, "here we go again," rather than the, "I can't wait to hear what he has to say," that you wanted. So you became bitter and left the church. Bitter to the point of rather than trying to find out for yourself, what the word of God actually says, you now pour all of your energy into just trying to find verses that you can twist to condemn the SDA church that you so deeply hate. And because of you extreme hate, you've actually convinced yourself of what you say as being true. There's no love of God or your fellow man in any of your videos, no love of truth. The only love is self love and everything else is hate. You criticize, condemn and ACCUSE others who may disagree with you, this is not of God. Don't fool yourself that others can't see it. I as others have done, try to show you truth, both in the church when you were there as well as out but you always try to change the subject, try to steer it away to discuss something else in a vain attempt to unmask your true intentions. A conditioned response. So much so that you only hear what you want to hear. Someone can say one thing, and you ACUSE THEM of saying something else that they never said so you can dole out one of your conditioned responses and try to steer the conversation away from them actually showing the error in your comments. Because you share your fathers spirit, being the ACCUSER of the brethren, you ACCUSE those trying to help you, of the ones being misguided, you attack the writings of Ellen White, you attack doctrine, you attack people, you attack because that's what your father the devil does. God NEVER called us to look to find fault in others but to preach what we understand about the gospel and let the holy spirit guide them.
Digging down and working through our differences IS extremely difficult. Coming into accord at Pentecost took more than a weekend retreat and issues have gotten MORE complicated with time, not less. It’s hard, hard work, seeking what they sought, the forebears of our church, both ancient and recent. A church could almost be forgiven for just throwing its hands up in the air and claiming it impossible and “waiting on the Lord in study and prayer”. Almost.
awesome

Well…. When you have preachers preaching we should “vote” to slow down the return of Jesus it makes me wonder ….. 😢
Brothers from seeking what they sought, with all that is going on in our world especially those things regarding our eschatological beliefs, is that what you guys want to talk about? Really??? what conclusions should I come to regarding your level of discernment after seeing this? much love to you.
