There's a pretty simple argument out there that SERVICES and REST are incompatible.

That's just wrong. God gave the 10 Commandments to Moses on Mt. Sinai. Then Moses came down and found them worshiping the golden calf, and there was suddenly a need for someone to intercede for the people. The Levitical priesthood and the swearing of the covenant came AFTER the 10...

Let me re-phrase... How would you know that the Day of Pentecost was exactly 1,355 days after the Roman sacking of Jerusalem? Most historical documents from that era do not record the exact day of anything. The answer I'm looking for is probably of the form "Josephus says in Wars [chapter#]...

That... doesn't really hold water... historically. A bunch of other cultures practiced a Sabbath, some of them well before Moses. And a day of rest is still beneficial. 7-day work-weeks are a bad thing. I'm not completely with you on this abrogation of the entire Law. I see where the...

You apparently didn't read the opening post and just gave a stock answer. It's not an either/or... we get two weekend days. One for rest and one for assembly.

That is very specific. So specific that I wonder - how you could possibly know it to be true?

I agree with this, but... why stop there? If this bit is anthropomorphic and symbolic, can't we say the same for the rest of Genesis 1? Are you sure you don't mean earlier? The 10 commandments appear to be the base around which the rest sprung up. Are you sure that the...

Why are there so few options? None of the ones you've mentioned would get my vote of confidence.

I see where the Pharisees and Lawyers corrupted the Sabbath and made it about observance and business rather than rest. It seems to me that by moving the business to Sunday, the Sabbath was restored to being about rest.

I don't think the "law of sin and death" in that verse is the same as the law of Moses. A few verses before the one you quoted it says: I delight in the law of God after the inward man: But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to...

I know there are already a few threads on Saturday/Sabbath stuff, but I had a question that came out of that discussion that seems to deserve separate consideration. Is Sunday-observance the same as Sabbath-rest? There seems to be much ballyhoo about Sunday replacing Saturday, but that...

I wouldn't feel any guilt about it. It's no different than taking any other medication to treat an illness.

Well, you clearly aren't Jewish. No, Judaism does not seek unity with the world. It seeks to hold its only special place as something distinct and different from other nations. No, modern Judaism is not looking for a Messiah to save them. It's openly hostile to the idea that men need any...

If true, then the LORD's promise to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob was really "I will give your descendants this land... for a while... but then they will be overthrown." Is that really the position you wanna take?

No, I mean the one where God promised him protection and wealth, including the lands there. The one re-affirmed to Isaac... Gen 26:3 Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these countries, and I will perform the...

Very yuck. I go for the diabetic socks. They don't last quite as long as regular socks, but they are SO much more comfortable. No seam on the toes. They don't leave an imprint on your ankles. Probably just healthier all around.

I don't think anyone who smokes the wacky tobacky uses a dose that doesn't get them high. There are products that separate the inflammation-reducing stuff in hemp (CBD) from the chemical that makes one high (THC). I've tried a couple CBD pain creams but it didn't seem very effective...

Right - the Levitical covenant no longer applies. But what about Abraham's covenant? Abraham was also promised this land, albeit with different terms and conditions.

I wish! That's Nick Freitas - former Green Beret and currently a representative for the state of Virginia. He is an important voice for conservative educational reform, and also has a very successful series of YouTube shorts. Here's one now...
