I'm tired of you accusing me of slander and I've asked you repeatedly to stop. I criticize beliefs, not those who profess them.

Yes, and our spiritual propositions MUST agree with all of them. How does what you've written here change your belief that Christians are to establish the Old Covenant, as your insistence that "Old Covenant" and "law" are interchangeable? "Do we make void the (Old Covenant) thorugh faith? God...

My mistake, it wasn't Rerum Novarum, it was from Saint Thomas Aquinas' "Summa Theologiae". Rerum Novarum heavily promotes Natural Law (which comes from pagan Greek philosophy) and quotes authoritatively from Aquinas. The Catholic church fully agrees with his ideas on stealing from one to succor...

All these were obligated to uphold their end of the bargain: obedience

"Do we make void the (Old Covenant) through grace? God forbid. Yea, we establish the (Old Covenant)". - Romans 3:31 (according to your understanding)

When Jesus accused the Jews of being children of the devil, should we consider that to be a degree of demonization?

"Search the Scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of Me." Ever read through Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy and thought, "Good gravy, will all these laws ever end?" Seemingly innumerable laws about oxen and crop rotation and clothing and...

The verse doesn't say the (Old) Covenant "is" the Ten Commandments - it's saying the Ten Commandments are what they were to "PERFORM, even Ten Commandments". A Covenant consists of mutual promises of two parties. God promised to bless Israel if Israel promised to "perform" His Ten Commandments...

My friend, the RCC has done more than renumber them - the 4th has been changed to refer to the 1st day instead of the 7th day. The 2nd is completely gone, and the 10th has been chopped into two to make up the deficit. The Catholic encyclical Rerum Novarum claims Natural Law is above God's Law...

Actually, a "legalist" is not one who tries to get every jot and tittle right ------- it's one who tries to get every jot and tittle right for the purpose of obtaining salvation. Christians who receive Jesus on bended knee at the foot of the Cross and then go forth to "keep His commandments and...

I assure you I demonize no one. When it comes to the Sabbath, I have no way of knowing who is a Caiaphas and who is an Aaron - only God knows. However, many in the OSAS crowd are vehemently anti-Sabbath-keeping and recklessly accuse us of legalism. Could we accuse them of being in love with...

Every one of the Ten Commandments is repeated in the New Testament, including the Sabbath commandment in Hebrews 4:9 KJV (the Greek word "Sabbatismos" which refers to the weekly Sabbath was very poorly translated as "rest" and is why Lamsa's English translation of the Peshitta renders the verse...

It is the immature Christian who denies the many many texts which speak of our "reasonable service" of obedience to God's law by we "unprofitable servants". No person on Earth except the sexually deviant is pleased with a habitually unfaithful spouse, and many times only one adulterous affair is...

The Just Man falls seven times and rises up again as he learns to walk the Path of the Just, just as a baby learning to walk falls often and cries out to God for help. Does the father curse the child and swat the child and leave the child down and dirtied, or does he reach down with a smile to...

Everyone knows which day is the Sabbath and it's not the day observed by them, which is why so much effort is made to obscure it, replace it, delegitimize it, and demonize it.

We have to remember "in times of ignorance, God winked at". No one is going to hell for refusing to keep the Sabbath who's never come under Holy Spirit conviction. In fact, it's not commandment breaking at all that condemns us to hell, neither obedience punches our ticket to heaven. Obedience...

What if obedience is the evidence whether one is saved? Let's see if that's Biblical: "Hereby we do know that we know Him if we keep His commandments. He that saith, I know Him, and keepeth not His commandments is a liar and the truth is not in him." - 1 John 2:3-4 KJV So, we can now dispense...

The Ten Commandments as written by the Catholic church or the Bible? Because the Catholic church claims to have changed the Ten Commandments! When a person decides to join the Catholic church, they are given a book to prepare for them for membership: the Convert's Catechism of Catholic...

“The pope has power to change times, to abrogate laws, and to dispense with all things, even the precepts of Christ.”-Decretal de Translat. Episcop. Cap. Now, if you're a Catholic and you disagree with this official statement from the Roman Catholic church, you are in her sight a heretic. So...

I'm a nuts and bolts kinda guy and my posts generally deal with very specific aspects of controversial issues. I, like anyone else, believe my positions are correct and that opposition to them always involves a callous disregard of the details, in which most believe the devil resides which...
