Phoneman, Phoneman, Where does it say that in the NT? Where are we told to 'remember the Sabbath Day to keep it holy' in the NT? A requirement to keep the Sabbath of Exodus 20:8 for NT believers would conflict with Colossians 2:16-17, 'Let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and...

That is what I was trying to say, but in different words. In context, Jesus was affirming his Deity. He and the Father are members of the one true Godhead, the Trinity. The role of the Father is different to that of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, but all three are persons (members) of the one...

Phoneman, Christian historian, the late Martin Hengel, wrote of 'the transfer of the celebration of divine worship from the sabbath to the Lord’s day, which is already demonstrable in Paul, is a partial analogy' (2000:119). Hengel particularly referred to 1 Cor. 16:2; Acts 20:7ff; Rev. 1:10 to...

newlife, What have you uncovered of the increasing evidence for apologists of the Christian faith who are addressing the issues raised by doubters of the faith once delivered to the saints? One of the noticeable actions in the first few centuries of the church's existence when there was a...

HammerStone, When it comes to worship of God, I think that we are missing some aspects that are fundamental. Remember Satan's temptation of Jesus recorded in Luke 4:8? 'And Jesus answered him, “It is written,“‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve”'. This is a...

Phoneman, One of the foremost N T Greek grammarians of the 20th century was the Dr A T Robertson. He focusses on the issues In Acts 20:7. This is from A. T. Robertson’s Word Pictures in the New Testament (1930. Nashville, Tennessee: Broadman Press, pp 338-340, available at: StudyLight.org)...

Jim, Thanks for an outstanding expose of Sabbath-keeping that was for Jews and not for Gentiles or Christians. What you shared from Scripture and the early Church Fathers made this fact clear. Acts 20:7 states, 'On the first day of the week we came together to break bread. Paul spoke to the...

My answer to your 10-week long, no reply to your post was that to me your OP was way too long and you needed to break it down into smaller segments to which we can reply. So you did not see this as constructive feedback for you to address what was happening to cause a 10-week absence of...

Please provide me with a link that demonstrates that questioning the length of your OP after you have not received a response in 10 weeks is the use of a 'riddles' logical fallacy. This link will provide me with an explanation of how my comment at #4 was a 'riddles' logical fallacy.

What is the name of the logical fallacy I am using?

You are being obstinate. Which fallacy is it and how is it a fallacy?

Your posts at #1 and #2 were WAY too long. This is a Forum, a conversation, not a one-way imposition of a theological view. TOO LONG means just that. #1 OP by you was WAY TOO LONG for conversation as an OP in a forum. And approx 10 weeks without a comment to #1 and #2 should have told you that...

ATP, You wrote on 29 Jan 15 and then commented at #3 on 17 April: Then I responded at #4 why I haven't responded. I'm still awaiting your response to that post. Could it be that you don't like what I wrote at #4? That response is still a red herring logical fallacy in addressing what I wrote...

The thread is not about your engaging in fallacious reasoning (a red herring logical fallacy, http://www.nizkor.org/features/fallacies/red-herring.html) in your response.

You didn't answer the issues I raised.

That's a red herring logical fallacy of a response. You did not address the content of my response to you. We cannot have a logical discussion when you use fallacious reasoning like this.

You assume too much. Your posts are too long for me to take the time to discuss. Why don't you raise just one topic at a time - but make it brief so that you hear from OTHER people rather than hearing your own keyboard?

Let me get this clear (with a broader application): There are Christians who won't make cakes for those who commit adultery and engage in other sexually promiscuous activity. But they'll do it for those who do not engage in such adultery and promiscuity. And they don't consider this violates the...

That, in my understanding, doesn't answer my question. Thanks, Jim, I agree that it is related to less knowledge of Scripture (the topic here is homosexuality) that people have. I consider the added problem is that many people may not say it outwardly, but deep down they don't think the Bible...

I agree. But there's another dimension. Take a read of 'A Shocking "Confession" by Willow Creek Community Church" by Bob Burney at: http://townhall.com/columnists/bobburney/2007/10/30/a_shocking_%E2%80%9Cconfession%E2%80%9D_from_willow_creek_community_church?page=full&comments=true No wonder we...
