Hi, Jack! Logos is the best if you've got lots of money to throw at it. Otherwise, the online Bibles are the way to go. I've heard that Blue Letter is the best if you have time and effort available to conquer the learning curve. I use Bible Gateway and Biblehub for reference and quoting and a...

Satan is the accuser of the brethren, in general (Revelation 12:10), but Jesus was speaking specifically to "the Jews," established in verses 10-18 of John 5 saying, ironically, that he (Moses) in whom they had put their hopes was their accuser because their efforts to improve upon his writings...

SS, up until about 25 or 30 years ago virtually no one believed it had anything to do with the 4th commandment, except for maybe rich kids going to forward-thinking seminaries. I've asked repeatedly for someone to post some scholarly work dated from the mid 20th century or earlier citing the...

(This post was kinda rushed because I gotta be somewhere, so it might be a little disjointed.) Not a word about moral law until verse 16 of chapter 10, SS. Theocratic civil law turns up in verse 28. The law that was changed was Sacrificial/Ceremonial law, from Aaron of Levi to Melchizadek...

Pure, delusional fantasy—we'd all be dead. But Jesus answered them, “My Father has been working until now [He has never ceased working], and I too am working.” (John 5:17) In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. (John...

If you want to discuss the topic, great, but if you just want to hurl anathemas, I'm not interested. .

The Sabbath of the 4th commandment was never a shadow of things to come. It is a memorial to creation and the Exodus—which, itself, apart from the Sabbath, is a prefiguring symbol of redemption. The distinction between the weekly Sabbaths of the LORD and the feast sabbaths referred to in...

By the way, this rarely comes up in discussions—even where I've attended church. It's pretty much a molehill that you've made into a mountain. .

I can't help that you can't understand that God wants His commands obeyed from a willing heart. It's one of the more easily understood paradoxes posed in Scripture. I find your hostility as unpleasant as you seem to find my alleged hypocrisy, if that's any consolation. I think we have have a...

For a group or individual to assume the alternative means self-disqualification. That this would would be a pleasing standard to you, I have no doubt. Unless it also applied to you. :hearteyes: .

That is priceless coming from you. .

This reads like "How To Practice Hypocrisy In 10 Easy Lessons." Your standard for repeated commands betrays a glaring double standard, notwithstanding I would never dare presume to require God to restate that which He has already made plain, anyway. The Law of God is a chain from which no link...

How do you like your new job of defending Seventh-day Adventist beliefs? Evidently, according to the Big Boy religion, you have to join. We Sabbatarians are all the same; we have no mind of our own; lower your shields; resistance is futile; you will be assimilated. You can be Locutus...

I think you mean the neo-New Covenant. Now, just don't you worry yourself about that. After 34 years, I'm used to it. Aren't Big Boy Johnson teachings an option, or are you now buying into a religious version of critical theory, where Adventists are the appointed oppressors and everyone...

Sure, but maybe not in a fraudulent, evasive "Questions for Sabbatarians" thread, although I'm sure it would help to divert attention from the weak "no NT command, teaching, or practice" claim that you're parroting. No, you're just deploying decoys. I'm pretty sure I know what I should be...

This post only proves that you know nothing about Seventh-day Adventist church history. And don't bother asking me to correct your mistakes because the burden of proof for your malinformation lies directly on YOU. :hearteyes: .

Schpreckensee Francais, si vous plate? :hearteyes: .

I gotta go with what I know, Amigo. :hearteyes: .

I rejected it for 26 years and I still had the wherewithal to walk and chew gum at the same time. Because God is merciful. :hearteyes: .

Who are "they?" How does one judge another person? What's the criteria? If "it's not about them," why all the "us and them" talk? I just want to understand. If I were ignorantly stealing from someone and you warned me not to break the 8th commandment, would you think yourself ill-treated if...
