I wasn't talking about politics or the United States. That's another thread and topic altogether. All I can do is repeat what I said previously... Think about what you are missing out on if you believe it's only for others. KJV Jeremiah 29:11-13 11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward...

@MatthewG Do you really believe this was not written to you? Think about what you are missing out on if you believe it's only for others. KJV Jeremiah 29:11-13 11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end...

Ancient calculations included part days, even part years, as a whole.

Is resisting the temptation to murder someone a carnal effort to earn a right standing with God? Was obedience to God's commandments ever, at any time, an effort to earn a right standing with God? I thought Israel was saved by grace through faith, not by works of the law. Same as today. Which...

True. There are also others who are so biblically illiterate that they don't understand that no-one can obey God's commandments unless God is with him. And if He is with them, their obedience testifies of that. KJV 1 John 5:2-4 2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love...

Yep, I do know. As I said above. You are preaching to the choir. But what we do is directly the result of who we are. Unconverted people can sing hymns ya know. They come to church every Sunday, sing hymns, give money to the church, smile, make contacts with other church goers, greet the pastor...

There is only one meeting on Sunday mentioned in scripture. The disciples did gather together on the first day of the week when Jesus appeared to them on the actual day of the resurrection. Were they meeting to worship? To read scripture? To learn? No. They were huddled together behind closed...

I see worship not so much as something we do, although that plays a part, but rather as something we are. Not a state of doing, but a state of being, and it is what we are that motivates what we do. There are secular people in the world who wouldn't dream of breaking God's commandments. While...

Indeed. Worship is not what we do, but what we are.

We are born sinless and innocent, but with a sin nature that tends toward sin at every opportunity. It is this sin nature that is dealt with at the cross, and are given a new born again nature as we accept Christ's resurrected life as our own.

Forgive me. This is a long article, but considering the subject matter, I think it's important. Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. Psalm 33:6 By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth...... ....9 For he...

Amen. By beholding we are changed.

I am somewhat surprised you have resorted to building this straw man in the same manner so many others have attempted to do. "Those Adventists are adding to Christ's finished work". "Working their way to heaven". "Adding works to grace". I don't know if it's an intentional lie in an attempt to...

Ziggy, I do enjoy your contributions, however, I think I need to remind you that not doing the will of God...that is disobeying Him... Is not to His glory. I agree with you that there are many interpretations as to what the Sabbath means and how it applies to individuals and churches. And that's...

In the early 2nd century, Roman rulers such as Pliny, Trajan, and others, all of whom were pagan in all things, had only a smattering of knowledge of Christianity. What they had heard they developed themselves into a form of religious belief system that cast Christianity into an ugly light...

That does not say, "there is no Sabbath in the NT". It is saying that one ought not judge others who are observing Sabbath. Nor is it talking about the weekly Sabbath. Paul is talking about the annual feast day Sabbaths that were shadows. The weekly Sabbath is not nor ever was, a shadow.

I've seen several videos, read a number of articles, all with the intent of accomplishing one thing. Denigrating the Lord's Sabbath, and uplifting the man made tradition of Sunday. You have no idea Who you are fighting with.

Couldn't have said it better. It's also significant that those exalting and trumpeting these legalist mandates that are sourced from the ultra right of Judaism, are so often of the left wing liberal bent of Christendom. Go figure.

I beg to differ to the inference that if one didn't accept the so called orthodoxy, one cannot be born again.
