I heard on the radio this week that some people are using “cryotherapy” to treat RA (rheumatoid arthritis) symptoms.

I know that Goitalone stated that he has degenerative arthritis.

However it’s my understanding that the symptoms are similar… So maybe that’s an option… I don’t know really. Just an idea.
Without me looking, what is cryotherapy again?
 
I am not sure if this question has been asked yet. If it has, please point me in the right direction.

Adventists teach that "Nowhere does the Bible command us to observe any weekly day other than the Sabbath. It delcares no other weekly day blessed or holy." (SDAB p. 254) This is false.

In Leviticus it says :
*The LORD said to Moses,
10
"Speak to the Israelites and tell them: When you come into the land which I am giving you, and reap your harvest, you shall bring a **sheaf of the first fruits ***of your harvest to the priest,
11
1 who shall wave the sheaf before the LORD that it may be acceptable for you. On the day after the sabbath the priest shall do this. 12
On this day, when your sheaf is waved, you shall offer to the LORD for a holocaust an unblemished yearling lamb.
13
Its cereal offering shall be two tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil, as a sweet-smelling oblation to the LORD; and its libation shall be a fourth of a hin of wine.
14
2 Until this day, when you bring your God this offering, you shall not eat any bread or roasted grain or fresh kernels. This shall be a perpetual statute for you and your descendants wherever you dwell.
15
"Beginning with the day after the sabbath, the day on which you bring the wave-offering sheaf, you shall count seven full weeks,
16
3 and then on the day after the seventh week, the fiftieth day, you shall present the new cereal offering to the LORD.
17
For the wave offering of your first fruits to the LORD, you shall bring with you from wherever you live two loaves of bread made of two tenths of an ephah of fine flour and baked with leaven.
18
Besides the bread, you shall offer to the LORD a holocaust of seven unblemished yearling lambs, one young bull, and two rams, along with their cereal offering and libations, as a sweet-smelling oblation to the LORD.
19
One male goat shall be sacrificed as a sin offering, and two yearling lambs as a peace offering.
20
The priest shall wave the bread of the first fruits and the two lambs as a wave offer ing before the LORD; these shall be sacred to the LORD and belong to the priest.
21
On this same day you shall by proclamation have a sacred assembly, and no sort of work may be done. This shall be a perpetual statute for you and your descendants wherever you dwell.

In the New Testament, St. Paul teaches us that the first fruits of the harvest, the first sheaf, represented the Risen Jesus.
20
7 8 But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.
21
9 For since death came through a human being, the resurrection of the dead came also through a human being.
22
For just as in Adam all die, so too in Christ shall all be brought to life,
23
but each one in proper order: Christ the firstfruits
; then, at his coming, those who belong to Christ;
24
then comes the end, 10 when he hands over the kingdom to his God and Father, when he has destroyed every sovereignty and every authority and power.

Can anyone shed some light on this? To me, this shows Adventists are in error on the prefigure of Sunday.

I am not going to go on talking about the Sabbath anymore…people don’t want to believe, well then thats fine.
 
For an excellent book comparing Catholic and Adventist teaching on Sunday and the Saturday sabbath, I recommend reading An Adventist and a Catholic. The author is Paul Eirene.
Contact information for ordering the book is below:

Ave Maria Press
P.O. Box 489, Sation U
Toronto, Ontario
Canada M8Z 5Y8

416-251-4245 or 1-800-663-Mary
Fax 416-253-0480

The ISBN number is 0-9684895-6-7

It is well worth the effort of getting the book and it costs less than ten dollars. I recommend ordering several, so you can share it with your Adventist friends and family. You can also give it as a gift to Adventists who leave literature on your doorstep!

Sincerely,

Thanks, but I already know what the truth is…appreciate it though 🙂
 
If you get the time I would appreciate comments from anyone on my forum.

I have made tons of changes…I guess I am trying to challenge myself more than anything else 😛 but I also wanted it to look good as well.

I know it may appear a bit on the dark looking side, but I don’t like bright web pages as they blinds me to death.

Take a look!

I am not trying to make you change your viewpoint. I am trying to explain why Catholics disagree, so that you can understand our veiwpoint, and why we do not agree with yours. It is not about trying to make the other person change their mind, but rather gain a better understanding of why we each believe what we believe.

This is one of those cases where we respectfully disagree.l I wonder how the Adventist Church interprets the Scripture I cited above, since from a Catholic standpoint, that Scripture contradicts what the Adventist Church teaches. That was my purpose in posting it.

Could any current, or former Adventists explain how the Adventist Church explains the above apparent contradiction?

Thanks.

Without me looking, what is cryotherapy again?
Basically it’s the application of extreme cold to the skin…

Sport players use it in a form of “ice” baths…

Drs. use it to “freeze off” warts etc…

And what I’ve heard is that some Drs used a room that is extremely cold in temp. The have the patient walk in and walk out after like 2 minutes. (From what I understand…)

I don’t know much more then that…
It was short radio blurb that I heard. It talked about how “cryotherapy” is being used by some Drs to treat the symptoms of RA.

It’s my understanding that RA and degenerative arthritis symptoms are similar…
So my mind wonders well if it works for RA why can’t it work for degenerative arthritis??

Like I said, I don’t know if it’s an answer for you, but it is an idea.

Note: It teats the symptoms… so it’s not really a cure it just proved relieve from the pain, swelling, and other Symptoms of RA.

God Bless.

Of course you need to talk to your DR or at least a DR that special in cryotherapy.

I personally don’t see anything about what you just wrote that contradicts anything Adventists believe…it’s like yer making up yer own wild translations to make something mean what you want it to mean to you personally er something, so I guess it just doesn’t make any sense to me is all.

Yeah, my chiropractor said to use cold packs and stuff because heat is no longer thought to be good for back pain and muscle swelling etc.

I can’t afford to go to the doctor though anymore, but I think I will try the ide packs I have left again though when I am at peak pain/stress.

It doesn’t seem to help until the next day from what I remember, but still worth it.

Of course this is not exactly cryotherapy, but better than nothing and about all I can afford lol.

Thanks for telling me about it.

Hi Goitalone,

The Scripture in Post 980 is what seems to contradict Adventist doctrine. That is why I was wondering if Adventists have a different way of interpreting what is said in those Scripture passages.

If anyone else can help shed some light on this for me that would be appreciated

As for your arthritis, I will continue to keep you in my prayers and hope you get some relief. My sister suffers from RA and I know how debilitating it can be. I also know what staggering medical bills feel like and that in itself is overwhelming.

I make vegetable juice every day to drink. Certain foods are thought to make arthritis symptoms worse because they can contribute to joint swelling. Lemons, limes, oranges and grapefruits should be avoided. Tomatoes , peppers, potatoes, eggplants are thought by some to inhibit normal collagen repair in the joints. Alternatively, broccoli and kale, parsley and spinach, carrot, ginter root and apple, cherry, blueberry, and pineapple are beneficial.

It might not make much of a difference to eliminate certain foods, and by no means am I a dietian. But the difference between diet and health in itself is intriguing. I love making my veggie juice every day!!! Many Adventists eat very healthy, and that is one thing I definitely admire.

Sincerely,

Maria1212
 
Gen 2:2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
Gen 2:3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.

Exo 20:8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
Exo 20:9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
Exo 20:10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
Exo 20:11 For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

Mat 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. (Heaven and earth did not pass yet.)
Mat 5:19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

1Jn 2:3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
1Jn 2:4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
1Jn 2:5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.
1Jn 2:6 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked. (Walk as Jesus walked. Jesus kept the Sabbath.)
1Jn 2:7 Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning.
1Jn 2:8 Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth.

Mat 24:15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
Mat 24:16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
Mat 24:17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
Mat 24:18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
Mat 24:19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
Mat 24:20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
 
Isa 66:22 For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain.
Isa 66:23 And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD. (If Jesus nailed the 4th commandment to the cross because we now have rest in Christ, than why would God reestablish it in the New Heaven and Earth, is not Heaven the ultimate rest?)

Psa 19:7 The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.
Psa 19:8 The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.

Mat 7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
Mat 7:14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

Rom 3:31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.

Rom 7:12 Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.

Heb 10:1 For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.
Heb 10:2 For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins.
Heb 10:3 But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year.
Heb 10:4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.
Heb 10:5 Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:
Heb 10:6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure.
Heb 10:7 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.
Heb 10:8 Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law;
Heb 10:9 Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.
Heb 10:10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

Heb 10:16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;

Heb 10:26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,

Heb 12:20 (For they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart:

Heb 12:24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.
 
Gal 2:16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.

Gal 2:21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.

Gal 3:10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them. Deu 27:26 Cursed be he that confirmeth not all the words of this law to do them. And all the people shall say, Amen.

Gal 3:11 But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.
Gal 3:12 And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.
Gal 3:13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:

Gal 3:19 Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.
Gal 3:20 Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one.
Gal 3:21 Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law.
Gal 3:22 But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.
Gal 3:23 But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.
Gal 3:24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
Gal 3:25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.
Gal 3:26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
Gal 3:27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
Gal 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
Gal 3:29 And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.
Gal 4:1 Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all;
Gal 4:2 But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father.
Gal 4:3 Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world:
Gal 4:4 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,
Gal 4:5 To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.
Gal 4:6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.
Gal 4:7 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
Gal 4:8 Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods.
Gal 4:9 But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage?
Gal 4:10 Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years.
 
Col 2:14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
Col 2:15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
Col 2:16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
Col 2:17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.

Col 2:20 Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances,
Col 2:21 (Touch not; taste not; handle not;
Col 2:22 Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men?

1Co 7:19 Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.

Heb 8:1 Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens;
Heb 8:2 A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man.
Heb 8:3 For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer.

Heb 8:4 For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law:
Heb 8:5 Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount.
Heb 8:6 But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.
Heb 8:7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.
Heb 8:8 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:
Heb 8:9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.
Heb 8:10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:
 
Act 13:38 Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:
Act 13:39 And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.

Act 13:42 And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath.
Act 13:37 But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption.

Gal 3:17 And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.
Gal 3:18 For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise.
Gal 3:19 Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.

eb 9:7 But into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people:
Heb 9:8 The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing:
Heb 9:9 Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience;
Heb 9:10 Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation.
Heb 9:11 But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;
Heb 9:12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.
Heb 9:13 For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:
Heb 9:14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
Heb 9:15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.
Heb 9:16 For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.
Heb 9:17 For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.
Heb 9:18 Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood.
Heb 9:19 For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people,
 
Heb 9:20 Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you.
Heb 9:21 Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry.
Heb 9:22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.
Heb 9:23 It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
Heb 9:24 For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:
Heb 9:25 Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others;
Heb 9:26 For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.
Heb 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
Heb 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.

Rom 13:10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.

Act 18:4 And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks.

Heb 4:1 Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.
Heb 4:2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.
Heb 4:3 For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
Heb 4:4 For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.
Heb 4:5 And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest.
Heb 4:6 Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:
Heb 4:7 Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
Heb 4:8 For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.
Heb 4:9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.
Heb 4:10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.
Heb 4:11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.
 
From reading the above scriptures one can see that the 10 commandments revealed sin (also a reflection of God’s character) God cannot change and neither can his 10 commandments. As we can see the Sacrificial/Ceremonial laws written by Moses put on the side of the ark which was against thee, was put in place as the atonement for the sins. They were a shadow of Jesus because Jesus became our Ultimate Sacrifice Once and for all. Never again will the works of the Law (sacrifices) wash our sin from us, but the blood of Jesus Christ. And how is a covenant sealed? With Blood In Exodus 19 Moses sprinkles the books with blood before he gets the 10 commandments written in stone with the finger of God. Jesus sealed the new covenant with his blood. How could the day to worship God be changed from Saturday to Sunday when the covenant was already sealed with the Testators blood? Why did Jesus tell his apostles hope that the destruction of the temple doesn’t happen in the winter or on the Sabbath? Because he knew God’s people would still be obeying the 4th commandment some 38 years after his death.

One more thing. A comment about the Calendar and the Sabbath. The calendar has been changed by rome and the Pope. The dates may have changed but the weekly cycle has never changed. Example Pope Gregory XIII decreed that the day after October 4, 1582 (Thursday) would become October 15, 1582 (Friday). The weekly cycle never changed. So the Roman/Gregorian (Solar) is just a changed Jewish (Luner) calendar. The Jews have been keeping track of the Sabbath since they were taken out of Egypt and shown by God through Moses on keeping the Sabbath. I’m not going to argue about lost calendar days and man made imaginary date lines. I will still keep the Sabbath rather than profane God’s commandments and choose a man made day. God knows our hearts and even if the day were lost in history he knows we Love him and keep his commandments. Not many churches can say that they keep God’s commandments. It is not legalism if you love Jesus you will keep God’s commandments and they will not be burdensome. What keeps you from obeying the 4th commandment? Secular life much to precious for people today. Is it to much to give up Friday evening and all day Saturday to God?
 
Let me note one of my postings

Galatians 4:10 which I’m sure most people who distort the bible will say that Paul is speaking of Sabbaths, Feast Days, etc.

Let’s look at who Paul is speaking to here. He is speaking to Galatia who were mostly Gentile and worshipped Pagan Gods. They observed days for their Gods. They did not follow feasts and Holy Days when Paul had preached Jesus to them. The context of Galatians is Paul telling the people of Galatia that some people have twisted and distorted the scripture and he was bringing them back to truth/Jesus Christ.

Don’t want to type to much anymore so I will include a link on a study for this topic.
