I find that arguments over the law, in general, and the Sabbath, in particular (since that's the only one that anybody really objects to), tend to confuse more than clarify. It seems that much more evidentiary ammunition is brought to bear in objection to the fourth commandment than in favor of...

There's never been any other kind of Sabbath that He would have been referring to when He spoke of it—no less than 19 times in the Gospel accounts. If He didn't intend for them to keep it, it would be absurd for Him to spend so much time instructing them about how to properly keep it. Which...

Okay, down to brass tacks: I would say, purely from a historical-grammatical approach to hermeneutics. I honestly can't speak for all Adventists, but I tend to be of a BRI (Biblical Research Institute—but even there, I don't comply with everything that is proposed) cut of cloth in this...

You're too good to me, Brother. :hearteyes: .

I could definitely see the two overlapping. :hearteyes: .

Brother J, I care nothing for the BBS one way or the other (although I do make good use of Biblehub.com in which, I suspect, they hold more than a marginal interest). Sorry, J, but I accused you of nothing. I merely observed the copy-and-paste and it sounds like you have more loyalty to the...

But the Sabbath is necessary for our physical well-being as well. It's a well-studied principle. :hearteyes: .

Faith is doing what God says before you can figure out why He's saying it. And that's a hill upon which I'm willing to die. :hearteyes: .

The intersectionality of critical theory is really not working well at all. It's pretty embarrassing when it's brought up to many of the "oppressed" variants. As a society, we've almost completely denied and/or marginalized the widow and the fatherless. We celebrate their status instead of...

The "Sit at my feet, Grasshopper" stuff can get old at times, especially from folks who wander in and do their best to make themselves feel unwelcome. :hearteyes: .

I'm waiting for my morning quiet time to reply. :hearteyes: .

I don't like to berate folks, but sometimes it's hard to resist. :hearteyes: .

I may disagree, Brother. You know I missed you. :hearteyes: Speaking of Hebrews 7, is anyone going to address the elephant in the room? 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...

I'm sayin'. :hearteyes: .

J, no offense, but that's an awful lot of copy-and-paste wordsmithing there. It seems a little odd that you'd be quoting a hyper-dispensationalist. Do you actually concur with all of that pontification? Even the anecdotal, 4-paragraph, corporate ad hominem—the part that makes the...

J, my Brother... What happened to Shabbat Shalom? :hearteyes: .

This isn't "I, alone?" .

Oh, no, Sis! FriChik, Diced Chik? :hearteyes: .

So Jews living in 70AD were obligated to keep all the law of Moses? .

Everything is your fault—everything. . Neither is "dude," dude. .
