You do realize that even in context, the statement does not change the meaning... Right? It still says: The use of temples, and these dedicated to particular saints, and ornamented on occasions with branches of trees; incense, lamps, and candles; votive offerings on recovery from illness; holy...

Using someone economically is not lust. Especially since, it was men leaving the natural use of women, and burning in lust towards each other, and likewise women did the same thing. This is economical? By the context of the verses it is clearly a sexual tone. You saying, "Is it" and then...

Selene, You are entirely missing the point. If I told someone to be part of a church that I started, they had to be celibate, wouldn't that be a doctrine of devils? Do I have any place to say, "It's a higher calling!!!" When the Bible clearly forbids me to do such a thing? It's the same thing...

Amen to your stance about Christmas. Join the club on this one, as this is my first year the walk with our Lord has lead me to turn my back on Christmas. The Lord always said we would be peculiar people to Him. :) As a matter of fact, i've only been a Christian for a little over a year now (A...

1 John 2:3-4 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. Matthew 5:19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall...

I condemned standing up and judging another person. Who is the judge? God is the judge. To rebuke open and bold sin is not being a judge. It is opening your mouth because you are told to do so as a Christian. To openly rebuke sin does not always mean that i'm doing it in front of 3 million...

2 Corinthians 6:14-17 - Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement...

Cardinal Newman admits in his book that; the "temples, incense, oil lamps, votive offerings, holy water, holidays, and seasons of devotion, processions, blessings of the fields, sacerdotal vestments, the tonsure (of priests, munks and nuns), images, and statues... are all of pagan origin." -The...

You were not delivered from keeping the 10 Commandments; you were delivered from sin, death, and from having to keep the Mosaic Law. The “yoke of bondage” is the old sacrifices, ceremonial law. The Law of liberty shall judge all men. The 7th Day Sabbath was not classed with the 10 Commandments...

Selene, Now, let's put the Lord's statement back in context: Jeremiah 16:1-4 The word of the LORD came also unto me, saying, Thou shalt not take thee a wife, neither shalt thou have sons or daughters in this place. For thus saith the LORD concerning the sons and concerning the daughters that...

The Law of God, the 10 Commandments, are an eternal reality. The Sabbath Commandment, was not classed with the Moral Law by a mere whim of God. The other 9 Commandments have eternally binding claims, for the goodness and wellbeing of all mankind to be in harmony. The Sabbath Commandment is no...

First, I am against Polygamy. We're on the same page there. No, they don't "choose" it, because they are not allowed the option of "choosing" whether they want to remain celibate while they are a priest or not. That's the only exception (besides the Eastern rites), that if they marry before...

All who come to the age of accountability sin, Mary is no exception to that fact. How can you say eating from the tree of knowledge was not sin, but disobediance was the sin? That's like saying, murdering your friend is not sin, the disobediance was the sin. Saying Mary was sinless, but...

You cannot keep the Sabbath by doing your normal day-to-day activities. Does this say, Jesus is the Sabbath, or does this state Jesus gives us rest? Matthew 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Here are some examples of people receiving, which...

"It has often been charged... that Catholicism is overlaid with many pagan incrustations. Catholicism is ready to accept that accusation - and even to make it her boast... the great god Pan is not really dead, he is baptized." (The Story of Catholicism p 37) Catholic Church says opposite of...

How is ignoring a commandment, the "spirit of the law"? See, what Jesus called that was hypocrisy when speaking to the Pharisees, telling them their tradition made a commandment of God void. It's not keeping the law that bothered Christ. It was #1 - The hypocrisy & #2 - The insane legalism of...

18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Heaven and Earth surely have not passed away yet. Til all be fulfilled, Till heaven and earth pass, not one jot or tittle shall pass from the Law of God...

The Sabbath was not the "Law of Moses". All the scriptures you have presented point to the "Law of Moses". Let me explain something. Moses wrote one thing, God wrote another. Don't you think there would have been a little significance to the fact that God actually came to earth, wrote His 10...

Cheer up man :) First, you'll still bear your personality, but every single defect will be gone. You will still be unique, but reflect the character of the One who made you what you are. Next, you'll be okay. I know it says we are as the angels, not marrying, but this never means you won't...

Jesus doesn't contradict the Bible...
