There is nothing which contradicts the Word of God in fasting and feasting in celebration of the wondrous works of God. Indeed, as the Law of God itself proves, it is the very essence of fellowship with God. The fact that you are uninformed, or rather, tragically misinformed, about the actual...

You offer no sensible argument against anything I said, just offensive comments about what are very basic beliefs of millions of Christians. If you have a reasonable argument to make then make it. In Christ, Pilgrimer

I think those things God said are being taken of context to mean something it doesn’t. God was responding to the saying of the Jews that “the fathers eat sour grapes and the children’s teeth are set on edge,” meaning that the children were suffering for the sins of the fathers. But God responded...

Those are your words my friend, not mine. I don't believe God is or ever has been capricious ... angry, yes, and rightly so based on what I have read in the Bible and see in the world of just how depraved men and women can be ... but I also think God has been far more merciful and gracious than...

I think it would be more correct to say that love fulfills everything because that God-given spirit of love is the only power on earth that can compel a person to do no wrong, in thought, word, or deed, either against God, or against man, even if they have never even heard the Law of Moses...

There is nothing pagan about either Christmas or Easter, they are both thoroughly Christian holidays that have been observed from the very beginning of the faith. The many customs that have come to be associated with these religious holidays are simply the result of Christians through the...

Perhaps it is just me, but your reasoning is very difficult to follow. Are you suggesting that resting on the Sabbath is actually work? And are you really suggesting that Adam and Eve received atonement for sin before the Cross? Because if so, then the cross was not necessary to make atonement...

That strikes me as odd, to speak of a "calendar in the heavens." Heaven is timeless, eternal, there is no "calendar" marking the passage of days and weeks and years in heaven. A calendar by it's very nature is a product of the earthly realm, a way or marking the passage of time (the literal...

I am Amillennial and that is absolutely not true. I believe in a millennial kingdom that will rule over the earth, and I believe in the rapture. I also believe in Biblical literalism, but not exclusive literalism because I also believe in Biblical spiritualism. And I most certainly believe in...

My sincere apologies CharismaticLady, I thought I was better at this than to make such a mistake. I have corrected the post. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. In Christ, Pilgrimer

The Sabbath is not about resting because man tends to "overwork." Actually, God provided another remedy for weary, overworked men and women, and it's not His Holy Sabbath, it's sleep. The point is that God Himself "rested" on the 7th day and hallowed it so the purpose of the Sabbath is not...

And again, you respond with insults and nonsense. I based my arguments on passages from both the New Testament (Hebrews) and the Old (Jeremiah, Psalms, and Isaiah), all of which speak of the two covenants and in particular of the sabbaths, with Paul explaining what the sabbath rest was, why the...

"Two men looked out from prison bars, One saw mud, the other saw stars." In Christ, Pilgrimer

Again, please dispense with the personal insults and make a point about the topic. We were discussing the sabbaths of the Old Covenant and whether they were types and shadows of New Covenant blessings or is the New Covenant rest just a continuation of the Old commandments. I say the sabbaths...

Actually, there are earlier historical references to the Christian observance of Christ's birth, before that of Hippolytus. Clement, the co-worker of. St. Paul and mentioned by him in his Epistle to the Philippians (iii. 3), wrote in the late 1st century: “Brethren, keep diligently feast days...

Your responses are nonsensical and you take things so far out of context the discussion loses all meaning. Do you have a point? In Christ, Pilgrimer

I agree with some of what you say, but not all. While it is true that Satan was the power behind the corruption of Jerusalem (he is the source of all corruption), Satan is revealed in the Revelation as the dragon, not the whore, and not a city. The whore, the bloody city, apostate Jerusalem, was...

I find that it is usually legalists who tend to be "self" righteous, thinking they are righteous in and of themselves, because of something they do, in particular because they obey a few commandments of the Old Covenant. The Pharisees are a prime example. I also find that antinomians tend to be...

But that would depend entirely on what "end" you understand the events to be a sign of. If, as I believe, the total, bloody, firey destruction of the whole nation of Israel and the end of the whole Mosaic economy at exactly the time and in precisely the manner foretold by the Law and the...

That would depend on what you think Jesus was talking about coming to an end. If, as I believe, he was talking about the end of the Temple and all it's beautiful buildings that would bring the Old Covenant dispensation to an end, then no other tragedy of the Jewish people since that day can...
