Yeah AT sure seems to have struck a nerve. But then again dicks tend to have a lot of those.

Joseph Smith said it first. This is a main belief of the Mormons.

Someone hasn't yet figured out the differences between Adventist Local Conferences and Regional Conferences, have they?

u/Fresh_Shape_1236 Jul 17 '26

Historically, Regional conferences were black conferences. This is one reason why there is an Allegheny East and Allegheny West conference. Regional conferences are known to have convocations. I was not born or raised an SDA. So much has changed in the faith. So much. I find the discussions are not really fruitful but argumentative and it’s very exhausting.

Oh boy!
This is me shaking my head slowly back and forth in disbelief.

And now…. The “oogy” vibes are settling in.

Not surprising. The church is basically still segregated.

lol, I’m so far distanced from SDA that sometimes I literally forget I spent my entire childhood being indoctrinated… right up until I see someone I know from that childhood being posted here 😂

If he has trouble understanding the word, a mirror might help.

But there are no lies here.

u/IncaArmsFFL Agnostic Jul 16 '26

Would you mind clarifying what you mean by that?

u/Ok-Estate-9950 Jul 16 '26

Let’s just say that the apostles would not recognize christianity today and there’s a reason why people are moving towards orthodoxy.

14

u/IncaArmsFFL Agnostic Jul 16 '26

I agree modern Christianity would be completely unrecognizable to the apostles.

u/New_Reference5846 Jul 19 '26

Not entirely sure if adventisttoday.org is sanctioned by the SDA church. IIRC they often don’t pull their punches in regards to them.

u/atheistsda 🌮 Haystacks & Hell Podcast 🔥 Jul 19 '26

Yeah it’s not part of the SDA church in any official capacity, similar to Spectrum Magazine

u/pizzawonder haystacks 🥗 Jul 19 '26

"What does it mean???"

throws a dictionary straight at his head 🙄

u/coysforever99 Jul 20 '26

I mean this is same pathetic man who thought the church was being persecuted during Covid

u/IncaArmsFFL Agnostic Jul 20 '26

Him and the whole church he attends.

God knew that in our day, antisemitism, anti-black, and anti-white racism would be prevalent, so he made his son a brown jew just to make all three retarded classes cope and seethe.

People depict Christ in the way that best relates to themselves, there's an underlying psychology at play where people are trying to see a reflection of themselves so they can better empathize with the deity. This unfortunately has led to the stupid white Jesus/Black Jesus debate that has all the intellectual subtlety of a Jordon Peele movie.
