@Logikos On second thought, and if you are not too insulted to still be willing (your choice entirely)... If you can honestly say that you can't make any sense of this (link)... We might be able to have a meaningful discussion. If you'd rather not bother, I completely understand. I can...

Completely and utterly over my head, Scott. :) :hearteyes: .

This sounds a lot like your position is that Sabbath-breaking is the one sin that God can just keep on forgiving for as long as we can sear our consciences, and then some. .

Fine, then. After reading your verbose and wildly defensive reply, and not wishing to get involved in the kind of massive typographical volleyball game I predict will surely ensue if I engage: I choose to decline. Enjoy your stay here. :) I predict this will be met with quite some...

The double-standard applied to arguments from silence here is truly remarkable. They seem to be proudly allowed only when objecting to a literal observance of the 4th commandment. In what order do the Sabbath and the first day stand in the week? "In the end of the Sabbath, as it began to dawn...

Jesus aimed at bringing the people back to a correct understanding of Scripture, with pointed focus on the practice of Sabbath observance. Jesus was raised in a Jewish household. He grew up attending and participating in Sabbath services in the synagogue. “And He came to Nazareth, where He had...

No worries. I concede the point (see my signature—"reserve the right"). It would have been better for me to say that Christ seemed to have had His hands full trying to correct the Jews' tendency to weigh down the moral law that was meant to be a blessing with hedging requirements that were...

"Argument from silence?" You have got to be kidding. You mean like this: "Wordplay?" You mean like pretending the word "law" means whatever you want it to, regardless of context, like this: Can't be the same law. Verses 16-18 of Hebrews 7 says the law that is being changed is...

That it was not to be a burden. Isaiah 58 was freely available to them. But they didn't get it. :hearteyes: .

Hi, SS! King James-only-ism is a thing I held onto for a number of years simply because I was raised that way and when I transitioned from Baptist to Adventist, I found plenty of sympathizers. I read Wilkinson's "Vindicated" book and found it very impressive (although I can see it for what it...

If I were trying to promote the view that Jesus was a lawbreaker I think I'd omit verse 7, which declared those who are "blameless" also "guiltless." What exactly are they guiltless of here? What a cat-and-mouse game we have going... The machinations to avoid responsibility seems to have no...

I believed that for 26 years and I've never purposely confused anything in my life. .

It seems to me that He did everything He could short of coercion to promote proper Sabbath observance. Any effort beyond what He did would have been violating their religious liberty, which He came to preserve and empower by His substitutionary atonement. I'm not really seeing how that's a...

Oh, great. Another "I, alone" preacher. Welcome to the forum, anyway. :) :hearteyes: .

Upon/in; I'm just not seeing a selective use of prepositions as being definitive categories of inspiration. The Bible is full from front to back with upon/in inspiration. Again, I agree that the Spirit had a special work to do in taking the Gospel to the known world in the infancy of the...

There is no such thing as a "fulfilled Sabbath" any more than there is a fulfilled commandment to abstain from Idolatry, murder, theft, adultery, etc. Sarcasm duly noted, the first day of the week is not evil, although its misuse or abuse can be, just as with any other gift of God. This is...

AMEN, Brother! I don't usually take it for granted that God is trying harder to save me than I am trying to be lost, but when I do, He hounds me until I give up and give in. I turned my case over to Him for good 34 years ago, and He has been faithful as the Author and Finisher of my feeble...

Just curious; how did they do this stuff: Luke 10 1After this the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them on ahead of Him, two by two, into every town and place where He himself was about to go... 9Heal the sick in it and say to them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you... 17The...

Can't 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 ever after...
