    What exactly is ''resting'' on the Sabbath as to keeping it 'Holy'?

    Interesting. You are giving us all an example of the future arguments presented in court by the Government's prosecution attorneys on behalf of Sunday churches when Sabbath observance is outlawed. You keep talking about a death sentence. “And he had power to give life unto the image of...

    What exactly is ''resting'' on the Sabbath as to keeping it 'Holy'?

    Kia Ora Angelina. Have you considered Acts 13? Have you considered that the reason no-one specifically "commanded" Gentiles to observe the Sabbath was because they were already doing so? See verses 14-44. If Gentile Christians weren't observing the Sabbath, or it wasn't the custom to do so...

    What exactly is ''resting'' on the Sabbath as to keeping it 'Holy'?

    That isn't one question. Not all of those are the same. Therefore not one answer. First, justified, because that is first chronologically as life happens. Justification entirely based on the death of Christ. The blood of Christ atones. By it all condemnation is removed, I am declared...

    What exactly is ''resting'' on the Sabbath as to keeping it 'Holy'?

    Sorry bro, but the onus is not upon us to prove the NT has a specific commandment concerning the sabbath. The commandment was already there, and there is no "Thus sayeth the Lord" which abrogated it. . The onus therefore is on you to prove Jesus or the apostles intended to change the sabbath...

    What exactly is ''resting'' on the Sabbath as to keeping it 'Holy'?

    How about reading a little further in the scriptures and include Romans 6. Who we seek to obey, his servants we are who we obey. Whose servant are you when you decide that obedience to God's commandments is an optional extra? And yes, absolutely I said that. But the "performance" part you...

    Who is Paul discussing in 2 Thessalonians 2?

    But which clearly needs to continue for some.

    Who is Paul discussing in 2 Thessalonians 2?

    You didn't answer the question. I'll ask again. Where and what was God's temple at the time of Paul's writing?

    Who is Paul discussing in 2 Thessalonians 2?

    Like Paul counselled, keep that which is true, reject that which isn't.

    Who is Paul discussing in 2 Thessalonians 2?

    Presumption and Gross misapprehension of the character of God's purposes. Now be honest. Where and what was God's temple at the time of Paul's writing?

    Separation of Church and State a Red Herring.

    That depends on who you think God is and what He is like. Adam and Eve were given a choice. That they chose wrong didn't invoke retribution or revenge, but discipline to encourage right living in the future. When they sinned, they hid expecting God to kill them because of the promise, In the day...

    What exactly is ''resting'' on the Sabbath as to keeping it 'Holy'?

    Here is an excellent succinct response as to why obedience to God's commandments are essential in order to gain eternal life.. ... but you are asking the wrong question. Classic straw man and red herring. As i said in another post, our obedience does not justify, only the blood of Christ does...

    What exactly is ''resting'' on the Sabbath as to keeping it 'Holy'?

    In all the years I've observed the sabbath, I have never heard anyone claim Sabbath observance, or obedience to any of God's laws, contributes to justification. However, in defence of NOT observing the Sabbath I constantly hear many making claims as you do here, that those who observe the...

    What exactly is ''resting'' on the Sabbath as to keeping it 'Holy'?

    When that happens we become our own authority, in other words, god.

    Separation of Church and State a Red Herring.

    My choice to worship God and honour Him according to conscience is absolutely my choice, regardless what the government thinks. They can and likely will throw me in jail or kill me after trying to bribe me with threats against house and income (the mark), but they cannot rule over the heart.

    Separation of Church and State a Red Herring.

    Because no-one else can see through your contradictory arguments. You have correctly stated we are to live separately from the world. Excellent. Then you state that the church and state is not, and never should be, separated. Elsewhere you speak about the worldliness of modern education and I...

    Separation of Church and State a Red Herring.

    You have look a bit deeper than simple declarations of belief. Yes, the RCC acknowledges Jesus as the Son of God, but at the same time utterly deny Him by refusing to acknowledge justification through His blood. They are a church committed to salvation by works. Investigate the significance...

    Separation of Church and State a Red Herring.

    Then where did I get it from? Who gave it to me, this choice of how and who to worship? I'm cheering for the kingdom of God. As everyone says. You, and everyone else, is wrong. ? Actually it's greatly more nuanced than that. Obsessed with being saved through politics? Not really. Obsessed...

    The deconstructing of the law in the New Testament

    “For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king; he will save us. ” Isaiah 33:22 KJV https://www.unfeignedbible.app/Isaiah.33.22 “For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son: ” John 5:22 KJV https://www.unfeignedbible.app/John.5.22 “33...
