    Upp, you are the most unreasonable, confused Christian I've ever encountered. You claim the Old Covenant was the law although I've shown you from Scripture that the law was merely a component of the Old Covenant and is also a component of the New Covenant. You claim Christians are not obligated...

    Sabbath-Keeping

    I fully understand the Gospel, which is not the false version which redefines what it means to "love" others. It is a distorted, fragmented version. The True Gospel has Jesus as both Savior Who covers our sin AND our Lord to be obeyed. The True Gospel does not redefine "love" to include...

    Good, we agree that if we love God and our neighbor, we will keep the Ten Commandments. And those who refuse to heed the Holy Spirit's pleadings to turn from breaking them are devoid of that love. "He that hateth his brother is a murderer, and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding...

    What many do not get is that Jesus is not looking for lip service. "This people draweth nigh unto Me with their lips and do honor Me with their mouths, but their hearts are from Me." "In VAIN do they worship Me, keeping for doctrines the commandments of men." Here, we see that worship is...

    "If ye love Me, keep My commandments." Then aren't the "Ten Suggestions".

    Then why is every single one of the Ten Commandments repeated in the NT to Christians if they "perished"? It is because they are eternal. As I've often said, if the Ten Commandments do not apply to Christians, please tell me which we are free to break.

    If you love God, you will: 1. have no other gods before Me. 2. not engage in idolatry. 3. not blaspheme the name of God. 4. keep the seventh day Sabbath holy. If you love you neighbor, you will: 5. honor father and mother. 6. not kill. 7. not commit adultery. 8. not steal. 9. not lie. 10. not...

    Sabbath-Keeping

    You can't "keep" everyday as a Sabbath because God only designated one day as a Sabbath rest and commanded us to work the other six. The rest in Jesus that I enjoy is evidenced by my weekly Sabbath rest which tells the world that my God is the Creator Who made the world in six days and rested...

    Yes, it can mean "one man" but how narrow minded does one have to be to think that it was only for one man? Of course it was created for "mankind", meaning all of us. Why do you deny that we will be keeping the seventh day Sabbath in heaven, when Isaiah 66:23 KJV clearly says that "from one...

    You are entitled to your opinion, though I firmly disagree. You are referring to Hebrews 8:13 KJV when you speak of "fading" and "becoming obsolete", but that text is actually speaking of the Old Covenant, not the Ten Commandments and we cannot Biblically replace the one for the other. Proof...

    The law of God is only a burden to those who don't love Jesus. I believe that you love Jesus, but you don't understand the difference between Justification and Sanctification. The one happens as soon as we surrender our hearts to Him, and the other is a life long process where we are...

    Sabbath-Keeping

    Good question: Jesus used many temporal things to explain eternal things, and we shouldn't be willfully ignorant of ancient object lessons that we still use today. Something "written in stone" is regarded just as much today as 3,500 years ago as having to do with an eternal, unchangeable nature...

    Sabbath-Keeping

    The word means "mankind", which is not "one man". Will "one man" be keeping the Sabbath in heaven? No, everyone will keep it because it was created for everyone. Sorry for being so "stiff-necked" but the Lord said that that we are to "keep His commandments and do those things which are pleasing...

    WB, Upp. The Ten Commandments are clearly repeated to Christians in the N.T., unlike the Mosaic Law which is referred to as "against us", "shadows", "nothing", and "carnal" ("carnal" due to the fact that they applied to those of the human family, while "the angels delight to do His...

    mrhealth, stop making excuses for your deliberate daily choice to sin against God. Do you not love Jesus enough to keep His commandments? Then choose to obey Him. No one is holding a gun to your head and forcing you to give into the devil when he comes with his temptation.

    Brother, don't believe the lies of Satan which some here hold as truth. Presumptuous sins are not covered by the blood of Jesus, though those who love sin would like that to be so. The Bible is clear that "he that covereth his sin shall not prosper, but whosoever CONFESSETH AND FORSAKETH his sin...

    FYI, the text "If we say we have not sinned, we make Him a liar and His word is not in us" refers to people like Ted Turner who claim to have no need for salvation because they claim they have no sin. It does not mean that Christians continue to sin presumptuously after they accept Jesus as...

    What unseen power is in your life that is twisting your arm and forcing you to commit sin? Is it Satan or one of his demons or is it some voodoo witch that has cast a spell on you? Of course, the obvious answer is that no one forces us to sin: we choose to sin and every single time we sin, we...

    There was a man caught in a severe ice storm who was trying to get home. As he trudged through the snow, he finally came to the lake, over which was his house. The thought of hiking around the lake to get home was unbearable and he thought he might freeze to death before he got there. He wasn't...

    Sin everyday like you? Have you been a slave to sin for so long that you don't realize that there's power to overcome? Do you even pray in the morning that God will keep you from committing sin? Do you not know that Jesus is "able to keep you from falling?" Man, what corrupted version of...
