    She Bears and Stones: What Does it Say About God?

    What are your views on God sending a she-bear to maul children after they made “fun” of one of God’s prophets for being bald.  That has really, really bothered me and seems very harsh

    The “Infinite Price” Paid – Is it Legal & Is Christ still Omnipresent?

    I was told and have been taught since I joined the SDA Church that Jesus gave up his ‘Omniprescense’  for eternity as the cost for my Salvation. I do not and can not find this in the scriptures
