    Need help overcoming this.

    Someone, it's not all your fault that you've become a slave to porn. Much of the blame lies squarely on the shoulders of the false prophets filling pulpits every week and telling people that we can't keep the Ten Commandments. Brother, the very fact that you feel Holy Spirit conviction to stop...

    Sabbath-Keeping

    Faith without works is dead faith. Since when did salvation by grace through faith cease to include the concept of Christian "faithfulness"? It happened when the wolves came in among true believers and began to draw away disciples after themselves.

    Sabbath-Keeping

    Upp, I don't ask "have you stopped beating your wife" questions and your accusation of such is absurd. Your failure to offer short, concise answers is because only lengthy responses afford you the necessary space to weave your webs of convoluted ingenuity and subtle theories because of the...

    How close is the Seven Year Tribulation?

    I love spaghetti, but make mine vegetarian, please lol The "abomination that makes desolate" the "holy city" had to do with what happened when the Roman army came to flatten Jerusalem. The ground outside the city walls was for some distance considered "holy" and when the pagan Romans...

    Sabbath-Keeping

    Upp, if I've misrepresented your position, it is only because you make it IMPOSSIBLE to ascertain it - many of your posts are long winded and tiresome. Here's your opportunity to set the record straight so that I can avoid any further misrepresentation of your position, if I am indeed guilty of...

    How close is the Seven Year Tribulation?

    Hi ATP, when Daniel says that "he shall confirm the Covenant with many for one week", please consider that: Jesus proclaimed at the Last Supper that the cup represented His "blood of the New Covenant" of grace which was to be "shed for many". (Matthew 26:28 KJV) In prophesying of His First...

    Sabbath-Keeping

    I fully agree with you that we cannot be saved by works but that we are saved by grace through faith alone, which is the understanding of us all here. What many fail to realize is that "grace" is both pardon for sin and power to obey. Is "grace" a license to continue crucifying the Son of...

    Sabbath-Keeping

    ATP, Uppsaldragby no doubt believes he is teaching truth, but he is wrong. The verse "For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under the law but under grace" is continually used by him to mean that grace-saved individuals are free from obligation to keep the Ten Commandments...

    The Word "Antichrist" Defined: Courtesy of Strong's # 473

    Man, when Paul spoke of the "man of sin", he spoke of him in the context of when the "mystery of iniquity" was already at work in his day, so if no Antichrist has come on the scene yet, then who's to say that he'll EVER show up, seeing it's been 2,000 years since?

    Sabbath-Keeping

    I disagree, for "he that saith, I know Him, and keepeth not His commandments is a liar and the truth is not in him" and if he doesn't know Jesus, then Jesus will say to him, I never knew you; Depart from Me you worker of iniquity." Therefore, Sabbath keeping is enjoined to the Christian, not to...

    How close is the Seven Year Tribulation?

    I see it a bit differently, for the only interpretation that makes sense to me is the Historicist interpretation because it satisfies all the requirements needed for a plausible explanation of prophecy. An unbroken, 490 year period with the 70th week being fulfilled by Jesus Christ, not...

    Sabbath-Keeping

    ATP, the Sabbath is one of the Ten Commandments which no thinking, rational person will argue no longer apply to the Christian, what with so many NT references to the Ten Commandments, as in the case of James when he tells us that those who commit adultery "become transgressors of the law". So...

    You guys never keep reading, bro! What's verse 15 and 16 say?

    How close is the Seven Year Tribulation?

    My belief is that the 70th week began at "Messiah the Prince" when Jesus was "Messiah-ed" in the River Jordon with the anointing of the Holy Spirit, reached it's midpoint at the Cross of Calvary, and expired 3 1/2 years later with the stoning of Stephen and the Gospel being taken from the Jews...

    ATP, do you have something to add to this thread that has to do with the Sabbath of the Ten Commandments?

    How close is the Seven Year Tribulation?

    This thread was started four years ago and the near 20% who voted that the Tribulation has already started will soon have to rethink their vote. Just three years left to get the world turned upside down, see "the war that will kill one third of mankind" come to pass, and see the rest of...

    Sabbath-Keeping

    Sin separates the branch from the Vine. The "Seal of God" is not understood in the sense of a "hydraulic seal" in a ram, which keeps in pressure and keeps out dirt. It is a Seal as in "Seal of Approval", with which the Holy Spirit seals us at conversion. As long as we remain surrendered, we...

    Sabbath-Keeping

    Zeke, you have turned the discussion away from the Sabbath to Salvation, so I'll answer you this way: No amount of Sabbath keeping, or any other rendered obedience to the Ten Commandments can earn us anything toward Savation, so your accusation that doers of the Ten Commandments are mocking God...

    The Word "Antichrist" Defined: Courtesy of Strong's # 473

    Yes, I don't know why I typed Christ instead of Christos. Must have been focusing on the "anti" part.

    Sabbath-Keeping

    Zekoward, I'll leave the issue of your cowardice briefly in order to ask that you clarify this for me: Is it your conclusion that when the first day of a new Israelite month occurred with the appearance of the New Moon, the day of the week defaulted from whatever day of the week it happened to...
