You are correct. No-one. Which shows that the Sabbath can only come by revelation. And revelation only by relationship. And it is no coincidence that relationship is at the heart of Sabbath keeping.

Several here, including you, have suggested that the Ten Commandments are examples. In as much as Jesus was the personification of the law and Jesus being our example in obedience, then yes, I suppose the commandments can be examples in an indirect way, but examples of what? I would like...

Why do you presume i know nothing of Cornelius? I read the same bible stories as you. You make presumptions about others lack of understanding, then state the obvious, as if it is a reflection of great revelation, and then ask, what am I missing? What you are missing is that everyone's...

Yeah, it's a tricky situation. When the apostle John said don't love the world or the things of the world, do we take that seriously? When Christ invites us to partake of His kingdom and embrace it, do we strive to retain dual citizenship? Who's truly our king? Whom do we serve? Paul calls...

Just as it ought to be. But have you read all 101's posts? In every one he casts doubt, not that such a life as you live, and I, isn't possible, but whether such a life can be in harmony with the law of God. The scriptures testify that such a thing, harmony between the law, the gospel, and...

I'm not one that would doubt your words. There's no excuse for hypocrisy. So what I see in that anecdote is an example of where people are failing to live up to their high calling in Christ. What i don't see is any theological or biblical reason that suggests my understanding of the gospel is...

I wrote this for another thread, but think it could do with repeating here as well...

I think we will all be surprised at where others end up.

How do you know that the form of belief and faith you cling to is actually curing the disease and not just the symptoms? Is that which you cherish as 'church', faith or whatever, simply providing anti-inflammatory solutions to the consequences of sin, or is it dealing with the root cause - a...

We have Christ in the heart. Jesus taught that we were to seek God's righteousness with as much hunger and as much passion as we would His kingdom. We are to hunger and thirst for it. And there's only one way to attain it. Through the Way, the Truth, and the Life. The closer we come to...

No. Righteousness has already been given a a gift. As I've said to you many times. Obedience is the fruit of the presence of Christ in the heart. Obedience is mandatory because God is entitled to be obeyed. He is God. If He isn't your Lord, and you think God's commandmentsare merely...

Hold on a minute. I asked a simple question. Is it obligatory to obey God's commandments or not?

Night view of Thessalonica from the exclusive suburb of Panorama. Thessaloniki, Greece. Photo taken in 2006. (Photo credit: Wikipedia) In Sabbath school a number of years ago we were discussing Paul's missionary endeavours to the city of Thessalonica (now known as Thessaloniki) and attempting...

You disagree with that?

Interesting tack you are taking here. You are writing a lot of words, but saying very little. We are all aware of the many in all churches, including your own, that attend church and go through the motions without any conversion experience. They have a form of godliness, but their hearts are...

Why do you read only half my posts?

Nothing of what you have said counters or contradicts the born again experience. All you are doing is adding fluff in an attempt to deviate people away from the main issue. People need a change of heart. A change of mind. True repentance. A turning away from the world in mindset and...

Why are you so determined to blame the law for your sin? All I read from you is a deflection of responsibility. You and I are sinners, and we were sinners long before the law confirmed it. You are a sinner because you sin. And you sin because you inherited a carnal nature from Adam. Which...

First, nowhere did I suggest that I had to obey all the commandments in order to "prove" I am righteous. I would like a reference to my post stating that. Second, I agree with you that the commandments as Paul said, are holy.just, and good. They are after all, a transcript of the character...

You are so focused on critiquing Seventh Day Adventism, you are deaf to what I'm saying. Read again my post on a previous page regarding 3 spiritual laws that govern life. It's basically a summary of the gospel as portrayed by Paul in Romans 8. You question that we should find the need to...
