DO NOT ascribe that to me. Personally I try to keep Saturday as sabbath. not as a law but as a freewill devotion. If I'm asked to work, I do, for the glory of God. I go 2 miles when 1 is demanded of me. So now you know. It is evil to judge anyone for not observing sabbath, and it is evil to...

Not "my" argument. God's.

Absolutely false and already demonstrated to be false. Stop spreading heresy! Paul by the Holy Spirit explicitly includes the 10 in the phrase "the law" - see Romans 7, - and we are not under it. Ritual cessation of activity is not moral in any sense of the word. It's ceremonial. Jesus never...

the entire law was chiseled in stone: There, in the presence of the Israelites, Joshua wrote on stones a copy of the law of Moses. (Joshua 8:32)

there is a greater context here, being the claim that the law is 'sectioned' into parts, and that the Christian having died to the law, becoming free, and no longer under the law, is only 'free' from some sections of the law, but not all ((i.e. not free at all, but 'slightly less enslaved' to a...

just because you read the words commandments, statutes & laws doesn't mean it's referring to the law of the Sinai covenant that scripture explicitly says came 430 years later. either scripture contradicts itself, or y'all are wrong. guess which is more likely.

previously covered and you are absolutely wrong. see Romans 7 --Paul ((who wrote Galatians and uses words in a consistent way)) defines what he means by "the law" -- using one of the 10 commandments as an example. the law is the law. all of it. including the decalogue. breaking it into pieces...

a lot of commentaries could stand not to have been written, for sure

wonderful :)

You don't have to have a pole instead of a cross to put a nail efficiently between the two arm bones at the wrist, not breaking them. Thw Romans crucified huge numbers of people. We have historical evidence of how they did it.

i will read it. i am in the middle of a short set of long lectures by A.G. Fruchtenbaum right now, but i'll read Bullinger when i'm done. i've heard the name with respect but i can't place where? and i haven't ever read him before, so thank you for the link. i don't mean to sound like i am...

i'm not sure how to put 'rightly divide' into the list i've been making. remember, the list is supposed to be a kind of definition of what 'studying the Bible' is or means. by itself in English it's pretty vague and open to interpretation.. it's a really interesting phrase, in Greek it...

hello buddy =] it's nice to see you here! i think a lot of what you put is concerning 'good study habits' rather than 'definition of Bible study' -- like, answers to 'how to study' instead of 'what does it mean to study' -- if that makes sense? i'm still thinking over a lot of what's been...

oh! that makes sense.. hmm, how to phrase it.. like, 'desiring to please God' ? as in 'study to show thyself approved' which would be different from just studying for the sake of knowing. is that what you are getting at?

well, there is, but as far as 'studying the Bible' for example i wouldn't think 'going two miles when someone compels you to go one' is 'Bible study' -- it's something different; it's carrying out what we learn from Bible study. just like having a class in college is different from going to work...

thanks -- OK the two of you both communicated an idea that's not yet on the list, so i'm adding it: Reading the scripture Believing it Praying for understanding of it Delighting in it Meditating on it Finding Christ testified of in it Internalizing it being taught by the Holy Spirit through...

thanks! Jesus here says that if anyone desires to do the will of God, they will know whether Jesus is speaking the truth or whether He's just giving human-originated opinions. so i think this is covered already in the list; "believe it" -- if we believe scripture, we know Christ is God, so we...

there's not. ubiquitously in the NT the entire Torah is referred to as "the law" there is absolutely not even the slightest hint that it means anything less than all 613 commandments and it even includes all the histories and genealogies in the books of Moses ((see Galatians 4)) in Romans 7...

um, you're not saying 'to study the Bible' = speed-reading, are you?? lol clearly putting in little or no effort doesn't qualify as 'study' but describe the effort: what are the things a person does that legitimately count as 'studying the scripture' ?

ok, thanks for the comment! but i don't see anything here i can add to the list. tips for more efficient study aren't really the same as 'definition of study' as an aside, yes, studying one verse or two isolated from context can be a mistak for sure. i find i need to read a whole lot more than...
