Wow, I guess we are beyond Rom 1:27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. (Rom 1:27). But let's remember...

That's how I read Aspen. Convenience over life.

When the Anti-Christ steps on the world stage and begins slaughtering those who don't worship him, will you be saying the same thing? Would you have taken your same passive stance during the holocaust?

11. Do you believe Govt's responsibility is to protect innocent human life or aid in destroying it?

The story contains a faulty analogy. Not only does the Christian receive clean clothes but a new heart. If he dirtys his clothes he will be miserable. Our new nature will never have peace back in the pigpen though we may pay it a visit.

typical communistic claptrap- centering on race and economics.

Theologies of God's glory coupled with a social gospel do not move me. Where was Jesus Christ? His crucifixion, his bloody death for our sins? That's what stirs God's awe in my soul, placed against the black backdrop of our guilt and God's judgement. That's what moves me to tell/warn others.

There is nothing wrong with a paid teacher as the laborer is worthy of his hire. And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house.(Luk 10:7) Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double...

*Of course we continually make judgements, that's how decisions are formed. *It is the duty of the Church to pass judgment (hopefully with an eye on repentance) on the erring believer. *For the unbeliever, he is already judged as guilty and in bondage to sin...ours is to tell him of the Deliverer.

I think the point of the first and last refs were to state that in comparison to Yeshua the feasts etc. were but shadows.As Messianic believers it's one thing to regard or disregard a Feast Day and another to deliberately change a date out of disdain for the Jews. One man esteemeth one day...

Actually the purpose of the OP was to show that the early Church was already involved in disdain for the Jews avoided celebrating the death of Christ on what you would think would be the natural choice...Passover. Again..."In AD325, Constantine wrote a letter to those bishops who had not been...

only 8 souls saved at the flood, /Sodom and Gomorrah zapped only Lots family escaped...minus his wife on the way to safety. God is love; God is wrath...both ...did I miss something along the way?

Who mentioned 'Judaism'? especially rabbinic. Was not the Messiah crucified on the Passover?

In the following quotes from Dipose's book "The Origins and Effects of Replacement Theology", he seems to reveal the basic reason why Good Friday does not end up on Passover each year. The usual explanation is that the Gregorian calendar runs different than the Jewish lunar calendar but this...
