On a personal note, I encountered a couple at a Messianic conference (I had only intended to buy a shofar there). Somehow we began talking about the “Seven Churches” and I mentioned that I thought the Adventists were Thyatira. The woman became quite offended and I soon realized to my surprise that they were Adventists. So I asked her if being a Thyatiran was any worse than being a Laodicean {since Adventists claim to be Laodiceans}. That seemed to work—Lonnie.
I was recently rather pleased to find a Sabbatarian “Church of God” (CGG) with the courage to re-examine their position on the “seven churches”, (or any of their positions for that matter). Well done.
