The shadows indeed pointed to Jesus as the Deliverer and Saviour from sin. The Sabbath however was instituted by Jesus Himself before sin, before there was any need of a Saviour. But the issue in relation to this thread wasn't whether the Sabbath is valid or not. It's about religious and civil...

David my friend, come on. I know this isn't the topic of the thread so I'll keep this brief, and make it the last comment for me here regarding the Sabbath. Do you really believe the after 1500 to 2000 years or so, Paul is saying here, "hey fellow Hebrews, guess what!! You can ignore the 4th...

I will ask you a question or two. . Which men taught you that one didn't have to believe in Christ, or repent of sin, in order to be baptized.. and who taught them? Second, are you aware that the above is what you are stridently advocating, and are you aware of how little sense it makes... Not...

Take care not to write off that which you have not yet seen or understood.

No, first, it isn't amigo's opinion. He is merely repeating scripture. KJV Acts 8:35-38 35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus. 36 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what...

The issue isn't about gathering together. It's a religious liberty issue. The Pope is leading the world in calling for a climate Sunday. Shutting down industry and closing corporate sales and business. Enforcing a Sunday rest. That I don't mind. The next step however, as was taken previously in...

Great question. I'm a Seventh Day Adventist, working in the SDA school system. You know I believe how we think the mark of the beast will be finally implemented. A global form of worship mandated by government, which will include Sunday as a day of rest. Will the Seventh Day Adventist church...

No, decided a long time back, no more. But it wasn't about the money the job brought in. The job itself I love, it's a service for a local Christian school. I see myself as working for Jesus. The school system I'm in was merely following government mandates.

My wife and I had original jabs, she one, me 3 because of work mandates. I consider us both blessed that we didn't come to harm. All the jabs carry different loads of genetic material. Like a vegetable broth dished out to numerous people, not everyone gets the same amount of carrots. With the...

You are right in the above, however that's just a means to an end. That all merely makes it easier to control the planet, and enforce worship. One religious unity of all religions with one leader in Rome ruling all. The Dark ages revisited only on a global scale.

My wife and I got real crook weekend before last. My wife was far worse off than me, nasty cough, exhausted regardless of sleep, sore throat and chest. Her asthma much worse. Wheezing constantly despite inhalers. Couldn't get hold of a doctor, surgeries too busy everywhere. This is Melbourne...

That's all you've got? Against inspired scripture you offer one text that says such and such "and his family" were baptized. That doesn't necessarily include infants. Particularly when other inspired scripture such as Romans 6 reveals the entire purpose of baptism which cannot apply to infants...

Of course, in the Christian age baptism represents the death of the one repenting of sin, death being the only solution to the sin problem. It reveals his willingness to become one with Christ in His death and in His resurrection. It reveals to all witnessing the event, which includes heaven...

Oh goodness Mary, if Romans 6 isn't God's revealed truth, then by all means look elsewhere for scripture that can be deemed more acceptable, or at least "interpreted", in favour of your opinion and church practise. Unfortunately for your opinion and church practise, Romans 6 is inspired and...

I find that the scriptures need very little "interpretation". I understand English quite well. Sometimes I do need assistance in fully understanding some of the more difficult passages, but none of those of not understood correctly, affect salvation. The important salvation issues are clearly...

KJV Matthew 11:25-29 25 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes. 26 Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight. 27 All things are delivered...

I actually don't think spiritual adultery is really a laughing matter. KJV Revelation 17:1-2 1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: 2...

Establishing a doctrine on the basis that scripture is silent in arguing against it opens the floodgates to all manner of nonsense... Is this the kind of human reasoning that the Catholic church stands on?

Mary agreed, the popes did lead the church into a political union. The result wasn't what you are speaking of doctrinally , but a matter of trust and relationship. The church abandoned God in favour of the kings of the earth in order to grow the church. Armies replaced the gospel. Inquisitions...

Eventually it totally changed the church, it's what introduced syncretism and compromise. It also resulted in divorce. Apostasy. Your men are lying to you. An apostolic teaching? Show me from Romans 6 how baptism was an infant appropriate event. Show me an example of John the Baptist baptising...
