I disagree. I believe a born again Spirit filled Christian can do all of those things... But he won't. Just because one becomes a Christian, doesn't mean he loses his power to choose. But being a new creature, a child of God, he shall always choose that which is right. Hence the absolute...

The role of the state is to protect religion. Not promote it. The concern you say that sums have regarding denominations is real. The moment the state says, you will follow such and such religion, in order to enforce that it needs legislation. In order to enforce the legislation there must be...

I OWNED A CHRYSLER VARIANT ONCE. EVERYONE MUST HAVE BEEN IMMUNE TO IT BECAUSE NO-ONE COULD CATCH IT.

Jesus said Himself... Abide in Me, the Vine. The result of abiding is a natural progression. Fruit. It isn't something we need to strive to produce... Work to develop... Or go about feeding, nurturing, or pruning the vine. No, that's God's work. Our responsibility is to abide... Remain attached...

You are trying very hard to pin Salvation/justification by works on me. But such an accusation is what you hope is there, but not from anything I profess, teach, practise, or believe. In other words the accusation that Sabbath keepers condemn other Christians and claim they are not saved, is...

Not true. Persecution of the church was just one tenet of prophecy which the Catholic papal system fulfilled. There are at least ten specific prophetic fulfillment which can only be attributed to the church in Rome, and none other. Prophecy was the reason the reformers all agreed that the papal...

Do they? Never heard that. You have a link to that teaching from a Sabbath keeping community?

No, there is no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus. The Sabbath is a day. A day has no power to demand obedience, therefore there is no such thing as disobedience to the Sabbath. However, you may find it more difficult in justifying disobedience to God, and then claiming you are saved.

May I suggest an alternative focus may also be biblical. It is God's grace by which we stain to righteousness right? This righteousness is a gift, that we receive by faith. When we are born again, we are immediately changed. Our focus is totally redirected and our thinking becomes more in line...

Oh, the Ten Commandments are absolutely God's standard, but you are right that in our own strength, we cannot hope to obey it. And yes, I totally agree with you that love is what we ought to be focused on. Yet where does that love come from, not us, but from God. KJV Romans 13:8-10 8 Owe no man...

Kermos would have us all believe that because Adam did not have free will, he was therefore following the will of God in bringing the entire human race into sin, rebellion, and condemnation. So God Himself instigated a rebellion against Himself and His laws, in order that He could condemn 90% of...

Yes.

Lol.

I have an issue with this, for numerous reasons, but leave it for another time and place.

Okay, cool. I'll explain. The first Sabbath as we all know was instituted at creation, for, being the reason why, in six days the Lord created the heaven and earth and everything that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Now some say that that first seventh day was alone. That there is no...

I agree. And no-one is judging when I say that , quote, The ten commandments... Is still an active and reliable and holy standard for righteousness.

Based I presume on KJV Romans 14:5-6 5 One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. 6 He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He...
