Let me ask a question in tandem with the OP. What is so irritating about Christians who want to keep the law? At least that's what I am sensing.

Yep. Today.

I'm sitting here in my Sukkah. It has power, lighting, WIFI and a grill next to it. The wind keeps blowing the branches off, though. LOL

While what you say is possibly true, you'd think he'd have a little more discretion than the openly do what he does in the hearing of his wife unless.... its a form of passive aggression, either that or he's so looped that he does not realize. Either way, it's not cool, it's a problem that...

Jesus taught love, and in love, one will have a tendency to emulate the commandments in the OT, especially the 10 commandments. So while the OP has a point, we are not made righteous, nor does God grant eternal life based on our ability to keep the commands, but indeed gives us His Spirit to...

Planetary sounds are cool. I like Jupiter's the best. These are electromagnetic waves, such as radio waves, coming from the planet and converted to audible sound waves. Sometimes they are scaled as well to be in our hearing range. If they converted it to light instead, then low pitch would...

Kings of Israel were not legit since the nation split. The Lord allowed them to reign because the split was from the Lord, but this was a source of contention with Judah the same way the early colonists here in the US parted from Britain and royalty. Uzziah was of the house of David of the tribe...

On my Google news alerts, I have famous 3rd generation Eilat Mazar flagged for anything found. One of the big things was King Hezekiah's Seal:

Well, being the Sir Isaac Newton type, you can cross of "making this up as I go" as that implies a off-the-cuff type personality and rather I plan everything out in advance. I say what I do as I see it in scripture, although one may disagree with my interpretation. The more one uses the method...

There is some misunderstanding here. The taking away of the first and then a new covenant is a means of salvation i.e. keeping the Law for salvation (flesh power) vs faith in Christ's finished work (power of the Spirit). I was talking about the standards of the Law as defining what is right...

This on-again off-again allegiance of the people to their leaders and for that matter God himself may be the reason this country is the way it is. Reminds me of what I read in the bible with ancient Israel. As they say, history (and prophecy) repeats itself and once a stiff-necked people...

The age I'm referring to was the time prior to the first coming of Christ there in Israel. Not until Messiah comes does the King have these privileges and that was made very clear in the Law of Moses. When there is a change in order as Hebrews mentions, that's when the King has those...

This was the inner part of the temple where the altar of incense, the table of shewbread and the lamps were where only priests were allowed to enter. In short, the King was doing the job of the priest. And beyond that only the high priest could enter the holy of holies once a year on the Day of...

Thanks. I'll try to watch it sometime but don't have over an hour right now. My point in Enoch was not the validity of the book, but the context as to what was supposedly stated by Enoch. He was saying that angels ought not marry and reproduce, not that they couldn't. Jesus made a similar...

To put in my 2 cents, oftentimes it is said that angels (i.e. of Genesis 6) cannot reproduce because of what Jesus said they neither marry or given in marriage. However, like a lot of scripture, people give it a private interpretation and case closed, that's it and "I don't want to hear it"...

There ought to be a "current events" section that may be biblically related or just general news and science that people can post in, but I posted here thinking this was the closest. As many of you probably know, there's going to be a total solar eclipse crossing the USA on August 21. I won't...

Did I hear Newton mentioned? Well ol' Sir Isaac did not believe there was reason for the "world to end" before 2060, but it could go further he believed. He marked 800AD as the beginning of the Pope's supremacy, and using a day for a year added Daniel's 1260 to obtain 2060AD. So he said there...

Actually, for the umpteenth time, I'm simply reading thru it again. Each time gets easier and I can make it thru easily in a half year or less, plus morning and evening devotions (similar to the morning and evening sacrifice). As for what topics of the bible specifically interest me, I'd have...

I agree with you here. But this is such a simple command, why not get baptized? So, like you said, one should. I have to wonder the person's motivation when Jesus said to be baptized and the early church did it. OK-- we can make an exception if one is fearful of the water and don't like the...

I get the feeling this is going to be a long thread. As I always say, the standards of the Law are not done away with, and a person who is truly righteous will live in those standards because that's his nature (only Christ did that). The Law describes righteous character. The issue is with the...
