    Why its important to keep the Sabbath

    You are answering only from your sectarian biases. You are not answering from scripture. You are avoiding the question by diverting the subject to the personhood of Jesus The Creator. That is another topic altogether. The question is about when was the day blessed? And clearly you need some...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Jesus did not give any man the authority or power to persecute those that disagreed with him. That power, that authority, came from the emperor Justinian, which was later included in Roman law, and spread into Catholic canon law. Justinian’s ambitions to reunite the Roman Empire were matched by...

    Why its important to keep the Sabbath

    It makes an infinite difference when the Son we are speaking of is God's only begotten Son. Not created, not adopted, but brought forth of God's own substance, and therefore by inheritance receiving all the fullness of the Godhead. Jesus Himself said, KJV John 5:26 26 For as the Father hath life...

    Why its important to keep the Sabbath

    You challenge me to produce scriptural evidence for observing the Sabbath, and I have some so repeatedly using exodus 20. What you and others haven't done is to prove that the Ten Commandments were cancelled, and then magically reinstated, an action presumably accomplished by God but without any...

    Why its important to keep the Sabbath

    I need one, why? Surely you aren't arguing from the perspective that because something is missing, it is proof it didn't exist? Really? That's why you don't observe the Sabbath? Because someone else can't prove that someone else did observe it? Why is it that people who claim to be Christians...

    Why its important to keep the Sabbath

    Oh, I am more than suggesting. Jesus created all things and there was nothing He didn't create. Now, even though I assume you know full well what scriptures there are too support the above assertion, I'll take your suggestion and post it anyway... KJV Colossians 1:16 16 For by him were all...

    There you go. Now wasn't that easy?

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    KJV Revelation 13:18 18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. 666 is an ancient occult number originating it is believed in Babylon.

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    KJV Revelation 13:2 2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Connect the dots. There's a war on terrorism. The Vatican has had a key role in supporting that. For the Vatican however, that war extends to all of Islam, unless they surrender to Papal authority. The Pope will be your friend so long as you bow and scrape at his feet. Those quotes I provided...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Jesus later explained that there was always a deeper meaning to His words than a simple literal perspective. KJV John 6:53-63 53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. 54 Whoso eateth my...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    While the following scripture does have a general lesson applicable to life, it is also specifically directed to the beast previously described as the enemy to Christianity by counterfeiting Jesus. This is the Antichrist, the very same Antichrist that the reformers identified as the papacy. The...

    Why its important to keep the Sabbath

    No, I don't believe that. Clever straw man. KJV Genesis 1:1-2 1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. Jesus began creating with the...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Just a thought Mary. Don't make the mistake of representing me as some random modernist Christian who teaches theology but doesn't allow that theology to affect the way I live. I reject any suggestion that you charge me as God charged Israel... KJV Judges 21:25 25 In those days there was no king...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    What we do not believe is the following "infallible" declaration of the Catholic Church.

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    So in your opinion Jesus meant we ought to literally eat flesh and blood... And the priest every day everywhere in the world miraculously changes bread into literal flesh and blood, and this is for the purpose that the literal flesh and blood of Jesus, being eaten, literally in your opinion...

    Why its important to keep the Sabbath

    Mmm. Was murder a sin when Cain clobbered Abel in the back paddock? Was adultery a sin when Joseph ran away from Potiphar's wife? Did they need to be written down, obviously not. But they were most assuredly informed right? Why would God keep the Sabbath, and yes,...t was a 24j hour day like the...

    Why its important to keep the Sabbath

    True. And why should they? The Sabbath isn't about ritualistic observances and ceremonies. It's about resting. In the Hebrew, literally... Stopping. Stopping from what... Stopping as God did. Resting as God rested. Still waiting for an answer to this.

    Why its important to keep the Sabbath

    I read what you said, and in your determined efforts to downgrade the deity of Christ to something less than equality with His Father (in everything except rank), you must of necessity downgrade His role in creation. While everything Jesus is was derived of His Father, such as His power and...

    Why its important to keep the Sabbath

    Huh? Obedience to God isn't moral? Where have I insinuated that the Son is the same person/being as the Father? He was a servant not only of His God, His Father, but also of men. Which doesn't change His ontological nature one not. It's an attitude of mind that was natural to Him and which He...
