Sorry, but you said more than that: "it's not mandatory now to keep A DAY, and the mistaken idea that it is, causes you to look at others with a judgmental heart." .

I think you might have single-handedly succeeded in derailing this thread. That's pretty impressive. It's a strange thought to me that folks like yourself and Amigo feel so freely justified in doing this kind of thing. .

Don't feel bad about the forest/tree thing—I, myself, have a lens problem. There's the sub forum/thread topic thing which is current events/Biden stepping down. And then there's praying for Biden's salvation—having now evolved into an effort to de-legitimize the thread entirely—which, while...

Prove it. No one else has been able to. .

It must be good to have reached a lensless state. 1 Corinthians 13:12 — For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. .

Oops, sorry, I misread your post. I thought that sounded kinda weird. I've said that I judge no one. You insist that I have a judgmental heart. I've directed no such accusations at you personally. I merely state the plain teaching of the Bible that no change has been made to the 4th...

Perhaps you would be happier if the administrators removed the current events discussion section since you seem to be concerned that it promotes presumption. You could put the matter to them directly, you know. Let's dance around this maypole some more, Jay, whaddya say? :P .

NEVER LET IT BE SAID OF YOU! .

Forgive me, but it kinda sounds like you had a little help from Herbert Armstrong, whose work was largely reactionary. Not that Christianity on the whole differs much from that model today. I found out in the Spring of 1990 that I'd been deceived about law and grace for over 20 years. I've...

No idea how many? I have no idea what you mean here. I find no part of the ten commandments to be any more compulsory than another part. 34 years of studying the subject tends to make for a fair amount knowledge as to what the Bible says about the law, in general, and the Sabbath, in...

I'm just noticing all the exclamation points and boldface. I'd hate to see what it looks like when you get riled. So, you came to the conclusion all by yourself, from Scripture, that the Sabbath is every day. When did you make this discovery? As soon as you became a Christian? And, if so, when...

Who said you made it up? I said "comes up." And it's not every day—it's the seventh day of every week. It's on the calendar. Nearly 100 languages worldwide use some form of the word "Sabbath" for the day we call Saturday. Everyone but Internet Sabbath-objectors know what day the Sabbath is...

Our smilies have been raided. Now I'll have to make a boilerplate. :rolleyes:

Jay and I go way back. We practically have our own language. ;)

Sure, why not? Who is "the 'Christian' member of this site?" I don't understand the code, Jay. .

Odd that this "essential for salvation" business only comes up in objection to the 4th commandment. .

Satanic worship, by the way, is not as grievous as worship of the true Creator is glorious. This would be giving him far too much consideration. He is, after all, merely a created being and, while he is stirring up quite a ruckus, this only makes the worship of him a more than usual...

Religious liberty was not intended by the founding fathers to entitle "Christians" to persecute people who worship non-Judeo-Christian deities while doing no harm to other human beings. A "Christian" label can be placed on practically any belief system that doesn't openly defy Jehovah. Enough...

Thanks, but normally, folks usually only bring up the subject of prayer for the salvation of souls they suspect are lost. By the way, this is a current events subforum and thread. It shouldn't be so surprising to anyone that the emphasis of discussion here is along those lines. .

Perhaps you could explain why these ridiculous arguments didn't exist before the Internet was available to common folk. .
