Charles Wesley really had a way with contemplative melodies and lyrics. This hymn (Welsh-adopted in the aftermath of the Aberfan Disaster of '66) really juxtaposed the helplessness of man and the inexpressible redeeming love of The Almighty. Jesus, Lover Of My Soul - Youtube :hearteyes: .

Neither the Word nor the Word made flesh is ever wrong: The arrangement where both Abiathar and Ahimelech potentially shared high priestly duties is reminiscent of similar setups seen elsewhere in biblical history. For instance, during the time of Eli, it appears that Eli's sons participated in...

But Jesus loves atheists who mistake their skepticism for wisdom, too. "...for man looketh on the outward appearance..." (1 Samuel 16:7) :hearteyes: .

The doubtful ("if given") rest spoken of here in Hebrews 4:8 is obviously not that of the weekly Sabbath, but of entering into the settlement rest of Canaan from wandering in the wilderness—unless we're supposed to believe that wandering in the wilderness was somehow symbolic of Sabbath rest...

Fair enough :hearteyes: .

Neither. The Ten Commandments are the earthly, human application of the eternal self-sacrificing, others-centered law/love of God. Christ fulfilled it in that He never strayed from it and therefore is worthy to log that fidelity to our accounts if we agree to submit to Him for the spiritual...

I'm having trouble imagining how anyone could not know that. But I think it's an oversimplification of another serious problem that has nothing much to do with church segregation. .

I was beaten up many times by black and Hispanic children in my youth. I'm sorry you've been so mistreated. I've visited quite a few churches with predominantly black congregations as an adult and found all of them to be quite welcoming overall. Hopefully, you will find yourself a nice...

Is this what writing God's law on human hearts does to a person's manner of expression? .

Is this how "the Law of Christ (also called the law of liberty, law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus – see Galatians 6:2, 1 Corinthians 9:21, James 2:12, James 1:25, Romans 8:2)" works on people's hearts? Yikes! .

Who taught you this stuff? .

If this is what "abiding in Christ" and the "New Covenant" is about, I'll pass: There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. (Galatians 3:28) .

I'm not a moderator. You can request that it be closed if you wish. :hearteyes: .

Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin. (James 4:7) ,

Would you have anything in common with a bunch of loud white football fans? If not, then why even make the race distinction? Would having more in common with white football fans who were loud make things more comfy? What's the problem? Loudness, footballness, or blackness? This thread really...

It's because of four-flushers like you that people believe this swill. We've come a long way from your BOGUS "Questions For Sabbatarians," haven't we? .

Does anyone accuse you of having it? You couldn't possibly have it, because no universal Sunday law has yet been enacted. Is it possible to accuse someone of robbery before anything has been taken? That would be ridiculous. If you saw a warning in the news that parking on the side of the...

Who is "we?" Why do these "others" have a problem with an alleged universal belief that is actually just the rare sentiment of a fringe minority? Relieve your mind and do a search for the words "Sabbath" and "unsaved" or "hell," etc., on this web site and you'll see that nearly all the hits...

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 priest for...

One thing's for sure: You couldn't be more right about that last bit. I like your passive-aggressive ignoring and the clever quoting-without-quoting trick. And who could've imagined you'd miss the whole point of my post? :I know: .
