Let me get back to you on that. :cool: .

No sweat .

I saw the Scripture at the time of the post. I just didn't see how it really related to your remark but, then, what do I know? (See what I just did there? - lol) That's good to hear. We can be a bit irksome sometimes. Very kind of you to say and, again, admirable. I can be a bit of a fossil...

Continued... Paul’s Longest Sermon This brings us to the final reference that could provide any support for Sunday sacredness. In Luke’s history of the early church, he describes the dramatic farewell meeting, which Paul had with the believers in Troas. Those who grasp for any tiny excuse to...

No Sunday-keeping in Corinth In 1 Corinthians 16:1, 2, Paul wrote: “Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order to the churches of Galatia, even so do ye. Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no...

I couldn't put together a sentence like that, much less post it in an open forum, for fear of what it might look like out of context. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you're not whitewashing it, FWIW. Fair enough, and an admirable concession .

Baloney I say there's a distinct difference between how I present information and the way you do it. I'm not surprised that you can't see that. I try very hard never to suggest that people are stupid or unlearned. You are often unhinged in your criticisms: And there it is. Sometimes, when...

Why quote me when you have no intention of responding to the counterpoints I gave to your assertions? Does gotquestions.org explain why almost all of the postmodern translations stipulate uppercase "Sabbath" and the older ones don't? Do you think I'm lying when I say that when I was presented...

You're wonderfully arrogant. Don't you determine for yourself what is sufficient to teach you something? Why should I be expected to submit to your judgment? If you don't like any information that's being shared, you are at perfect liberty to reject it. Besides, you forget—according to you, I...

Exactly—the ones that are careful to use the uppercase "Sabbath" in Colossians 2:16 so folks will think it's talking about the 4th commandment When I first started studying this subject 34 years ago, that wasn't an option. I had to scratch my own ears. .

Strong's Greek Lexicon is not inspired. If you want to assume the responsibility of nullifying one of God's Ten Commandments based on a word χειρόγραφον (cheirographon) that's used only once in the entire Bible and another word δόγμασιν (dogmasin) that's only used 5 times, none of which refer...

New International Version having canceled the charge of our legal indebtedness, which stood against us and condemned us; he has taken it away, nailing it to the cross. New Living Translation He canceled the record of the charges against us and took it away by nailing it to the cross. English...

No, He wiped out the charges against us. He paid the debt for our sin. No, he said that the yearly festival sabbaths, besides the Sabbaths of the LORD (Leviticus 23:38—most English translations even render the Hebrew שַׁבְּתֹ֣ת (šab·bə·ṯōṯ) uppercase in English, contrasted with the lowercase...

The Sabbath After the Resurrection Many Christians keep Sunday instead of the Sabbath, offering a host of reasons, the main one being the resurrection of Christ. Besides the minor detail that nothing in the New Testament, including the passages on the resurrection, teaches that Sunday is to...

Miracles on the Sabbath The Gospels mention numerous miraculous healings that Jesus carried out on the Sabbath day. It is interesting to note that, in most cases, the healing came by Jesus’ initiative, as if He purposely wanted to heal on the Sabbath, though He could have done it any other day...

The Example of Jesus What does Luke 4:16 tell us about Jesus’ attitude toward the Sabbath? Why is this so important for us today? See John 14:15, 1 Pet. 2:21. The word Luke used in verse 16, custom, comes from a Greek word related to habits constant in time and practice. In other words, Jesus...

Christ, the Lord of the Sabbath Read Matthew 12:1-2. What is going on here? Why would the Pharisees consider this action as "not lawful" ? Deuteronomy 23:25 states: "When you come into your neighbor’s standing grain, you may pluck the heads with your hand, but you shall not use a sickle on...
