    Faith: True and False

    Oh, great. Another "I, alone" preacher. Welcome to the forum, anyway. :) :hearteyes: .

    Peter the Rock?

    Upon/in; I'm just not seeing a selective use of prepositions as being definitive categories of inspiration. The Bible is full from front to back with upon/in inspiration. Again, I agree that the Spirit had a special work to do in taking the Gospel to the known world in the infancy of the...

    Here is why, as an Adventist, I believe America is in Trouble.

    There is no such thing as a "fulfilled Sabbath" any more than there is a fulfilled commandment to abstain from Idolatry, murder, theft, adultery, etc. Sarcasm duly noted, the first day of the week is not evil, although its misuse or abuse can be, just as with any other gift of God. This is...

    Here is why, as an Adventist, I believe America is in Trouble.

    AMEN, Brother! I don't usually take it for granted that God is trying harder to save me than I am trying to be lost, but when I do, He hounds me until I give up and give in. I turned my case over to Him for good 34 years ago, and He has been faithful as the Author and Finisher of my feeble...

    Peter the Rock?

    Just curious; how did they do this stuff: Luke 10 1After this the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them on ahead of Him, two by two, into every town and place where He himself was about to go... 9Heal the sick in it and say to them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you... 17The...

    Questions for Sabbatarians

    Can't be the same law. Verses 16-18 of Hebrews 7 says the law that is being changed is carnal/fleshly, weak, and unprofitable: Heb 7:16-18 16 Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life. 17 For he testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after...

    Sabbath or Sunday? What did Jesus teach & show in scripture?

    You're not confused, but I am, I guess. I mustn't have been clear. I could barely stop eating them! And, of course, they're both good and good for you! My wife and daughter really like the nut-based sour cream, and it's one of the not-too-many healthy things they really like. The Worthington...

    Where was the Sabbath Abolished?

    I have no idea what you're talking about. It doesn't sound like anything that's being discussed here. Both of these statements absolutely reek of Christo-intellectual snobbery. When you do figure it out, you'll wonder how you ever missed it. Do you really think I don't know what Gnosticism...

    Here is why, as an Adventist, I believe America is in Trouble.

    Whatever it means to you, it is impossible to keep the Sabbath of the 4th commandment in this way. And there is no record of anyone commanding or keeping it that way in the Bible. No, he said that because there was a huge problem with Jewish converts to Christianity urging Gentile converts to...

    Here is why, as an Adventist, I believe America is in Trouble.

    The "Sabbath days" spoken of in Colossians 3:16 are there classed among the very ceremonial ordinances that are distinguished from the Sabbath(s) of the LORD in the latter part of Leviticus 23, where they were originally given. The Ten Commandments were not handwritten—they were etched in...

    Where was the Sabbath Abolished?

    I don't think this kind of mind-reading rhetoric contributes much to the spirit of free discussion that you claim to prize so highly. And your emphatic insistence on the importance of who wrote what book of the Bible isn't much better. I don't see that principle prioritized in Scripture as a...

    Where was the Sabbath Abolished?

    Now after the Sabbath, toward the dawn of the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb. (Matthew 28:1) .

    Sabbath or Sunday? What did Jesus teach & show in scripture?

    Hiya, Sis! Aw, man, maybe you'll get lucky and get some Special K loaf with that barbeque glaze on top or some Esau's Pottage or something! Potlucks are the bomb! I cheat on potluck Sabbaths. I don't even bother asking what things are made of. Whatever gets past the ladies in the kitchen is...

    Did the Early Church worship on Sabbath?

    However, we are judged by our deeds as to whether we have appropriated the Atonement, which includes more than a Sacrifice. It also includes the removal of sin from the soul temple entirely. He will render to each one according to his works... For it is not the hearers of the law who are...

    Did the Early Church worship on Sabbath?

    All of this antagonistic talk about allegedly upsetting people is characteristic of classic trollery. And, of course, the laughing emoticon doesn't do much to hide your intentions. .

    I guess, to a futurist, historicist interpretation is preterist? .

    Here is why, as an Adventist, I believe America is in Trouble.

    Leviticus 23:3 ‘Six days shall work be done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, a holy convocation. You shall do no work on it; it is the Sabbath of the LORD in all your dwellings. “’There are six days when you may work, but the seventh day is a day of sabbath rest, a day of...

    Did the Early Church worship on Sabbath?

    It is simple justification by faith. All of our righteousness is as filthy rags. The best of our works on our most consecrated of days is trash compared to the spotless purity of the Son of God. This theme may be contemplated safely without limit. It is ennobling in a way that no other train of...

    Where was the Sabbath Abolished?

    No one was ever saved by the merits of keeping any law. .
