Once again, couldn't possibly be the same law. Verses 16-18 of Hebrews 7 says the law that is being changed is carnal/fleshly, weak, and unprofitable: Heb 7:16-18 16 Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life. 17 For he testifieth, Thou art a...

. You see Jesus saying whatever you want to see Him saying and simply ignore the rest. He also said this: Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. (John 15:13) And this: Matthew 22 37Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy...

. Frankly, I don't understand the use of this reference, at least, as it is commonly done. I don't know how I would go about requiring someone to "consider one day more sacred than another." I know how to close a browser tab, turn off a device, etc. If someone is saying something I don't want...

. The New Covenant "took effect," so to speak, as soon as Christ pledged Himself to die for the sins of mankind. The Bible says that Christ is "the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world" (Revelation 13:8) No one has ever been saved without the provisions of the New Covenant. The "Old"...

. I just don't see that pointing out error (i.e. mistaken assumption?) need necessarily constitute an "accusation." I've been struggling greatly of late with someone who is illustrating this point perfectly. The individual will not acknowledge the difference between "disagreement with...

. Or we could take it up with the roughly 20,000 people who profess faith in the LORD Jesus Christ as the sole propitiation for their sins (salvation) and join the worldwide Seventh-day Adventist church every year. Just a thought. The purpose here is not to proselytize but simply to refute...

. Brother Dave, I know not how to rejoice in a truncated, "specifically where the LORD Jesus stated this TRUTH" gospel that saves me in my sins, rather than from them. I haven't the ability to understand terms like this and, loosely quoted, "in Whom the commandments reside." It might make...

I hope habitual and ever-increasing lying doesn't cause someone to lose their standing with God (I know you despise the "OSAS peoples," too) because if it does, Sabbath-breaking might be the least of your worries. We don't believe that anyone is tortured in hell forever, much less people who go...

. The problem is that most folks believe anyone who doesn't believe as they believe are cultists. Anyone can point to any kind of leadership in a denomination or even a congregation and holler "CULT!" Which, unfortunately, makes a thread like this a virtual sandbox. ' '

. The emptiest words ever uttered about Christianity The life, death, resurrection, and intercession of Christ are all that could afford salvation for mankind. All of this "dependent upon" dung is just echoes of the fatal parlay discussion at the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. ' '

. It certainly gives me great joy but it is no new discovery nor a surprise at all. It just goes to show that the rest that comes from abiding in God's grace as a whole, while all-encompassing, is distinct from the admittedly subordinate, yet no less necessary rest that comes weekly via the...

. . Sure, we know why you're here: You've been very jealous for the LORD GOD of hosts: because the children of Israel have forsaken His covenant, thrown down His altars, and slain His prophets with the sword; and you, even you only, are left; and they seek your life. ' '

. Has anyone asked you to "become SDA?" What do you think Seventh-day Adventists should do—hide their lights under a bushel? Perhaps they should be cancelled/banned? Maybe only those who have no denominational affiliation should be allowed to discuss their beliefs. That's really popular these...

. There is no "commandment given to go to church on Saturday only" by anyone that has been suggested in the discussions on this forum. ' '

. I'm sorry but I missed the notification of your post. In short (not exhaustive), the reason it would be God's responsibilty is that the way the theory of evolution works, the ability for humans to think, say, or do evil would almost certainly come into play before the frontal lobe was fully...

. Lol - the double-negative here actually makes this say the opposite of what you obviously intended. Any evidence for this tripe? It could be that too many white members would be uncomfortable asking to be a member of a predominantly African-American congregation. That thought ever cross...

. It sure does. It was so bad with him that he had to have a vision from God to get it straightened out. ' '

"try and damage" - sounds like an expression someone would seize upon to claim that "feelings were getting hurt." The difference between "disagreeing with doctrine" and perpetrating a malicious falsehood about what 20+ million people believe and teach is clear to nearly everyone. Well, except...

. We probably ought to go ahead and pile up some rocks in case anybody takes the LORD's name in vain or dishonors their parents, too, I guess. On the other hand, we could just dispense with the other 9 commandments, as well. I'm told by some who object to 4th commandment observance that the...

. Aw, it was nothin', Sis. I forgot to mention that the Marines called us "Wingnuts" - lol. ' '
