Ok. Thank you. So they were your words and not Paul's. This is what you said: It's not saying the same thing you are! It's saying we establish or uphold or keep the law of God THROUGH faith. There is no Law of faith. We don't keep a law of faith; we keep the Law of God THROUGH faith...

This is rediculous. I have been saying all along (quite clearly) that those under Grace (which comes by faith) you are under the law. By extension, if you are of faith you are NOT under the law! I have been quite clear on that. I use direct words and cite scripture that plainly back that up...

No, those aren't Paul's words. He never said that. Perhaps you are paraphrasing something he said, but you'd have to tell me what that verse is. He did say that the law was not of faith, though (Galalians 3).

Yogi Berra couldn't have said it better himself.

Hidden, I feel mostly the same way. I don't mind a rich preacher though, if he is preaching the truth and is a faithful servant. The prosperity gospel is a terrible thing, but it has some points of truth (that's the way Satan works...). We should give because we love God and have been...

Of course. I am speaking for myself. Never heard someone complain about too my "I"s. Well, you should care, for one. Do you really need me to list them? Romans 6:14-15, 1 Corinthians 6:12, Galatians 5:18. That's the short list that directly say we are not under the law. Many more say the...

This complete and utter nonsense! Yes, Christ was under the law, obeyed the Law (except when he didn't), and I am really struggling to think of a Paul quote that says Christ was born under the law and so we are too. But I have many Paul quotes that say we are not under the law. And the whole...

Wonderful testimony! I find it interesting that in such a household you were able to maintain a good GPA. I am in the public education field, and many times this isn't the case. I would hope things are better between your parents and yourself, but if they aren't, I wouldn't blame you...

Good heavens! No! That is the exact opposite of what he was saying! In fact, though he wishes it wasn't so (that they are being persecuted), he was giving them deserved honor. I AM NOT going to say that western Christians wouldn't stand up under the same circumstances... Some I think would...

My main point is that I'm tired of seeing Christians putting down other Christians. The title of this thread is "Christian Ignorance" and while the OP didn't put anyone down directly, where's this thought going to go? In a positive direction? Since he commented on ignorance, I pointed out...

Love Willie T! But wouldn't want this on anyone. Get well, Willie!!! I mean, the Lord's will be done, but this world is better with you in it!

Yes, and I would tend to agree that is a strong possibility. We tend to forget that Paul himself was a Jew, and even a Pharisee, because he did preach we aren't under the Law. However, he did want to return to Jerusalem for the Passover celebration. We also tend to think the Corinthians were...

Good. Glad we got that settled. I actually looked into Brother Yun.... Seems like he has an interesting story to tell. My public library does carry his book in hard copy, but I might order a copy from Amazon. Thanks for the reference.

No, it doesn't.

It's only one way it can be literally translated. Each word can have similar alternative meanings. "One" is "Mia" in Greek. Mia can also be translated to mean "first". "Sabbaton" is Greek for "Day of the week". It can be translated to "Sabbath", "Sabbath's" but also to mean, "the intraval...

Read more carefully.

Christians bashing other Christians... I love a good debate, but in the interest of understanding for all. My Pastor made an impacting statement today... He hates ignorance as much or more than I do. But he was talking about Chinese Christians being persecuted. He said that they may not...

Well I agree with you that there isn't scripture that says we must or even should meet on Sunday. There is scripture that says they met on Sunday and (after checking in to the verse) 1Cor 16:2 DOES say they were to set aside money on Sunday. We may have to revisit that phrase again. On the...

Just looked into it, and you are correct about the original translation. But, so what? I don't think this changes that we can't worship on Sunday, this first day of the week. Neither is it forbidden. We are commanded, even in the NT to worship and gather the together. I agree. Yes.
