"do not let anyone judge you over a sabbath" is undeniably an imperative statement. You can reject the truth but it doesn't change just because you deny it, and your private interpretation is less than worthless when you do. All you are saying is you don't care if it's true.

Remember the context of this statement. He was being provoked by pharisees because His disciples were harvesting grain on sabbath, to eat for themselves. He responded not by denying they were breaking sabbath but by giving two examples of men violating the letter of the law but still being...

What in the world are you even talking about? I'm sorry but you seem really confused and you don't make any sense. Try calming down and restating whatever it is you're saying more clearly?

Why are you accusing God of adultery?

Did you really just say that? You admit you don't have any idea what your talking about, but you're sticking with your completely baseless opinion? You don't have to be a linguist to know the difference between a declarative and an imperative statement. The words are basic 6th grade English...

That we as Christians understand our salvation, so that our faith may be strengthened and we are fully equipped. To that end it is germaine to explain how it comes to be that we aren't under the law.

Read Romans 7 and let scripture interpret scripture. We are set free from the law by having died. Mssr. Backlit clearly contradicted scripture saying we can only be free from the law by doing all the works of the law without transgressing it. If righteousness was by doing the works of the law...

We are not set free from the law by dutifully doing all the works of the law without fault, as you stated. That is simply false. We are set free from the law by having died. That is what scripture says.

If you know the scripture then you know it most certainly absolutely is a command. "let no one judge you with regard to a sabbath" is an imperative statement. That's a command.

My point isn't to accuse you. But to point out the method of or salvation is our dying with Christ and being raised by Him. This is not about what we 'do' but about what we believe. Having died with Him we are not under the law. Romans 7 explicitly includes the decalogue in 'the law' - we are...

Romans 6-8 says a very different thing than what you are saying. It says in no uncertain terms that we are set free from the law by having died. Salvation is not by works.

I'm not arguing against sabbaths. I am affirming the gospel, by which we are saved, having died with Christ and our lives being hidden in Him. We have died to the law and are not beholden to it. No corpse is liable to the law. That's all. The scripture commands me not to let anyone judge me...

Affirming the word of God, which is that we are not under law, is not 'hostility'

There's nothing in scripture that says anyone was ever supposed to keep sabbath prior to Exodus 16. The law requires new moon festivals. God created the moon on day 4. 4 comes before 7 Where are all the new moon festival threads?

what if i go around telling people they are fake Christians living in sin if they aren't offering lambs on an altar, since it's instituted by Genesis 4? where are all the 'new moon festival' threads? the moon was created on day 4

Sounds nice but there's no record of anyone observing sabbath until Exodus 16

whoever loves fulfills the law. therefore anyone who has love, even if they do not have the letter of the law, fulfills the law by love. if you had no letter saying 'do this' how does love lead anyone to observe a special day? would love - only love, without a commandment - in and of itself...

all i would say is that Christ in no uncertain terms said all the law hangs on 'love your neighbor' and 'love the LORD' -- neither of which are even found in Exodus, but are buried in what our modern pharisees call 'the statutes' or whatever, exactly the part they say is 'removed' when they say...

What shall we say then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! On the contrary, I would not have known sin except through the law. For I would not have known covetousness unless the law had said, “You shall not covet.” (Romans 7:7) clearly when Paul writes the words "the law" in scripture, what he...

Shouldn't you send postcards or something? Your thread is tempting me to read it on my cell phone.
