Misinterpretation of any verse to support your doctrines is a great sin, which you've clearly done almost every time you cite them/ particularly the ones in the epistle written to the Jewish diaspora, for which Peter himself uses to accuse you and your kind:

"Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless. ¹⁵And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; ¹⁶As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which^{Paul's epistles} are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned^{αμαθεις = undiscipled} and unstable^{αστηρικτοι = vacillating, inconsistent} wrest^twist, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction. ¹⁷Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness" (2 Peter 3:14-17 AV)

This does seen to me to describe your handling of the Bible rather exactly, if I do say so. What are you going to do about it, Philsworld? Maybe a stint at Chafer Theological Seminary, strong in hermeneutics, might help you to understand what the Bible says and from that correct interpretation skill lead to your salvation.

Obviously, you haven't read Romans 6 in a long time. My old man was crucified with Him on the cross, and died there. What about your guilty old man, eh? Have you not become aware of what the good news of Jesus' Gospel (not Ellen G. White's gospel) means to the person burdened by sin from birth and not yet freed of it? My sins were judged at the cross, and paid for by the Savior.

Misinterpretation of any verse to support your doctrines is a great sin, ...

If it is a great sin for him, is it not a great sin for anyone, including you ?

Just because one does not agree with you private interpretation of scripture does not necessarily make him a great sinner, nor you righteous. Look to the works to see what is in the heart. In this thread, look to the vituperative and repeated name calling, the hatred of those in the Catholic Church, or a sect other than one's own. It is like the Samaritans hating the Jews, and those doing it, it seems to me, have no insight into their own very visible and public behavior here while they claim to be righteous.
