Give any literary piece a new author, create circumstances and reasons to justify it, and then you can dispense with all manner of stuff you don't agree with on account of your belief that the "original author" couldn't have written that particular part. Well, it wasn't that text that...

I have no love for the Papacy, but I need to pull you up on the above statement. While it is true that during the dark ages, from about the 6th century on, the Catholic Church in Rome certainly produced a lot of fraudulent documents which were claimed as true and used to their advantage for...

Jesus fulfilled the law. What does that actually mean to you? Does that mean you now no longer need to? Does it mean that Jesus proved it could be done in human flesh, therefore leaving no excuse for others? Or does it simply mean that Jesus met all the legal requirements and criteria of the law...

Interested in who you are aiming your shotgun at.

So you think Jesus actually broke the Sabbath. In other words He transgressed His own 4th commandment. The context of the above statement from Jesus is in sharing gospel truth. No connection to creation. Two completely different events beating no relation to one another. What was finished? Did...

I will address David's long winded repeat of his former assertions in a little while, but in the meantime, and on a side note, I am curious. Why does the question of not believing Jesus is God , keep coming up on a discussion on Sabbath keeping?

I was raised Catholic and educated in Catholic schools. When I left school, I never returned to the church. I was born again at age 23 and joined a pentecostal church. I backslid from there after 10 years or more, and at age 43 repented, and asked the Lord to start again, and treat me as if I...

Was actually considering that verse a few days ago and talking about it with a friend. My feeble mind can't grasp the enormity of the idea encapsulated in those few words. All things work together... All the encounters one has over a life time with both good, bad, and the indifferent, and how...

I would like to know which prophecy speaks of changing the names of the authors. Who were the true authors? I have no qualms concerning the nature of the apostate church and it's numerous fables and legends and frauds to turn people away from Christ, but I can think of many many instances of...

Yes, using grace to justify disobedience is presumption.

Oh... The endless debates on what those concepts actually mean... To whom... And when... And how. Oh, and who said.

The most ancient Christian writers unanimously and consistently attribute the first of the 4 gospels to Matthew. Internal evidence indicates it was written by a converted Jew. While it is a tradition that the authors Matthew, Mark and Luke are today given attribution, it isn't without evidence...

David. I also read a book many years ago how the number 7 is intertwined throughout scripture, and how it is used to designate completeness. It was a fascinating read, and was an enlightening revelation into the complexity and intricacy with which the scriptures were inspired. Hugely encouraging...

And amen. That verse has been one of my favorites throughout all my Christian life. It has helped immensely to cope with and appreciate the power and loving faithfulness of my Father.

Agreed. There a more dangerous kind of tradition, the type of tradition that hasn't been added to scripture, but it's accepted as the Lord's will,n but not specifically taught in scripture. Once such tradition is accepted into orthodoxy...or CAT, then what scriptures there are that contradict...

In other words, orthodoxy?

Because you will not find anything specific in scripture to support the above, I would like to know on whose authority you stand on in doing away with the 4th commandment. What is it precisely that you think Sabbath keepers are attempting to gain by this dubious exchange you charge them with...

@amadeus hello John. Thank you for sharing, I do vaguely remember you doing so previously many moons ago. About chastisement. God is merciful and gracious, long-suffering, and abundant in goodness and truth. He treats us always with love, and whatever chastisement he metes out, breaks us, but...

Hey Helen, lovely to see you still around and kicking. Hope you and family are well. God bless.

Even though the bishop of Rome may claim them as his, other churches do not come under his authority unless they voluntarily do so by submitting themselves to His doctrines and his dogma. Those churches who believe the Bible to be their only rule of faith endanger their own souls with every step...
