June, 13th. The second debates with the followers of the United Church of God were held over zoom. Missioners from USA, Craig Truglia (see his blog: Orthodox Christian Theology) and Sergey represented the Orthodox side. Father Ambrose was on a flight to Dominica and joined by the end of the session.
The discussion was focused on the 4th Commandment. Craig presented many Orthodox arguments (some of them can be found here: An Orthodox Argument Against Adventist Sabbath-Observance – Orthodox Christian Theology).
The counter party was staying adamant after many arguments (recording of the debates will be published later), Craig asked is it morally safe to deny what has been accepted by the large majority of Christians for all the history of Christianity?
The first debates online were held on June, 6th, following the street conversation.
15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. 21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven
