I said it's ok with me, didn't say it's ok with Him. I just don't want to argue much of this stuff. I find much of it is accomplishing nothing. The topics of justification and sanctification are worth the fight. If you get that right, the rest will fall in place.

What???

Well Matthew, that's when you have gird up your loins and be a man! Search the Scriptures to see what is truth and what's not. Read to find what the theologians say and why. Go back to the old paths. You can't run from it if you want to participate on these boards.

I believe I said this is where "the idea" of the Trinity begins. We see here 2 persons in the Godhead. Then we come to the knowledge that there are 3 members of the Godhead.

No Matthew, I'm afraid you don't know enough just yet. You are still quite confused in Scripture. That attitude isn't going to help either! All of us are still learning!

Hello Matthew, haven't heard from you lately! The "Word" is referring to the Logos, the Eternal Logos. The Jews would have known this to be referring to God the Creator. You notice that John expresses 2 beings here, God and the Word. This is where the idea of the Trinity is born. John is...

God demands the blood of man for his sins. The blood of a perfect sacrifice is the atonement for sin. That is why Christ had to become man! Lev. 17:11 “For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the...

The Scripture doesn't have to tell you, it's common sense! The only way possible was for God Himself to be that perfect sacrifice for man's sin. There was no other man who was sinless that could meet that requirement!

Phil. 2:6-9 "Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death...

So why is the OP condemning those who don't keep the Jewish sabbath? If you practice what you preach the judging will cease, right? That is, if I'm reading your last post correctly.

The benefit is a thing of relationship. It wasn't some guy that God the Father anointed to live a perfect life in order to be the perfect sacrifice for my sins. It was God Himself that freely laid down His life in my place that I might live, through faith in Him. Any time I use the word "God"...

Jesus said that He has the power to forgive sin on this earth, while He was here in the flesh. Who but God can forgive sin? His deity as God is very evident in scripture, as you said. There is a problem with the faith of one who denies that deity. As Paul put it, I believe their faith is in...

What do you suppose this means? Co. 2:16-17 "Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ."

We all see things differently and that's ok with me as long as we get the salvation right. God didn't demand that we get all doctrine correct, He demands that we get Christ correct. That is worth fighting for, the rest, not so much. I try to stay away from the conflicts if possible. When that's...

I guess it's just a matter of time before disagreeing with mainstream will get you ousted everywhere. The liberal view of Scripture is a growing cancer.

If censorship is the #1 issue taking place there, I know which forum it is.

Sounds like a forum I was on some time back, City Data forums. You have described them perfectly.

There are many here that believe God is manifest in 3 distinct persons, yet one in essence.

I downloaded Adblock, there are no adds anywhere I go on the internet. It's free but don't know how long that will last.

Well, as you can plainly see I'm not one of those! I gave my reasons for Sunday worship and will stand by it!
