And it's Brakelite for the hand-off! :hearteyes: .

Not much. He appeared to have a conversion experience, which would have caused him to begin living up to all the light he had. That's all anyone needs to do—ever. Christ is our righteousness. Our best law-keeping efforts can't save us—ever. :hearteyes: .

Well, I can't type very fast, and I gotta go do stuff, so I quit... But I woulda winned!! :hearteyes: :hearteyes: :hearteyes: .

You're just doubling down on your position that law is law—from spitting on the municipal sidewalk to mass genocide/international crimes against humanity. And I'm a non-subscriber to that kind of nonsense. The death penalty laws of a 2 million-person camp of ex-slave barbarians under the...

Round and round it goes—where it stops, nobody knows.

The context of which clearly is the subject of justification by works—which no one here is advocating. :hearteyes: .

It's only a good point if you fully equate civil law with morality. :hearteyes: .

Greek surface reading? All things are governed by law. Am I to assume, then, that you're opposed to the law of Christ? Theologically convenient/confirmation bias If the shoe doesn't fit, then by all means, don't wear it but let's hope you're not strengthening the hands of others for whom...

:watching and waiting: .

Do you really think Billy Graham (to whom I have no particular loyalty) didn't understand covenants and law? From the Dallas Times/Herald: Question: Some religious people I know tell me that the ten commandments are a part of the law and do not apply to us today. They say that, as Christians...

The law of God, THE TEN COMMANDMENTS, doesn't say anything about executing anyone, Jack. Did you go to church when you were a kid? Where do you get this stuff from? .

Well, if you have to, you have to, I guess. I'm partial to the law of God, myself. Most of the laws written out by Moses are just object lessons on the greater Atonement process now that Christ is crucified and risen. .

Theologically convenient, I'm sure, but it flies in the face of virtually every reputable school/method of hermeneutics in existence until about 20 to 30 years ago. :hearteyes: .

Yeah, it's a hootenanny, a real knee-slapper. .

I don't think a surface reading of James 2:10 works very well. (For what it's worth, we've talked about this kind of thing before, you and I.) But, if you insist that it does work, tell me: How, exactly, does dishonoring one's parents make them guilty of murder, idolatry, theft...

By the way, by the logic you're advancing here, we should probably give the green light to adultery as well, seeing as Christ opposed having that gal in John, ch. 8 stoned to death. .

Endless trumpeting of this doesn't make it true, Jack. But if you're going for the "Goebbels" effect, there's lots of evidence from early to mid-20th-century German history that you could enjoy substantial success. I obey the ones that are eternal, but not the ones that became obsolescent and...

Well, judging from your flippant ("lol") attitude, I'd say: As many times as it takes to keep yourself and other Sabbath objectors convinced that it's relevant to the 4th commandment issue, I guess?

It's being urged very forcefully, once again, that the Sabbath is not part of the New Covenant. It's odd that God left Jeremiah out of the loop on that one: Jer 31:33 KJV But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my...

It's odd that it's so often Christian Sabbatarians are flatly denounced as legalist Judaizers, and often in the same post urged that they must, if they are to be taken seriously, keep the Sabbath in the same stupid, legalistic manner that Christ spent much of His time in the Gospel accounts...
