    Was Jesus a law breaker?

    Except for when it was. Or have you not read in the law that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath, and are blameless? (◄ Matthew 12:5 ►) .

    Homosexuality: Wrong or Right?

    I subscribed to Curiosity Stream a couple of years back and then I cued up a video saying that we all came from fungus. If that's so, I believe we are returning to our former state. I wonder where the fungus came from? .

    Sabbath or Sunday? What did Jesus teach & show in scripture?

    There is a clear distinction between what must be done to be saved and what must be done as a moral duty to God. No one can be saved by keeping commandments. Keeping them is what you do when you love Jesus, which no one can do until they have been transformed by His grace. If you love me, keep...

    What exactly is it that I'm dodging? I've responded directly to virtually every claim you've made which is light-years beyond what you've done in return. I'm happy to give direct answers to specific questions anytime. I won't be tricked or rattled into saying something I don't even believe...

    I must. Thanks, but I'd rather have apples AND oranges. .

    The definition of ad hominem is not a matter of opinion. There is a difference between disagreeing about the doctrine itself and saying stuff like this: If you can't see that, then there's a deeper problem than disagreement on doctrine. Speaking of ad hominem, here's the latest: .

    Obnoxious, mocking ad hominem Preferrable to honest discussion for you, I guess. .

    Was Jesus a law breaker?

    I can't speak for everyone who keeps the Sabbath. No, I don't say that. I say that commandment-keeping cannot secure salvation. I don't try to devise interpretations of what Scripture makes plain. It is necessary to resolve paradoxes in deep Bible study. If one passage seems to contradict...

    No argument here There is a clear distinction between what must be done to be saved and what must be done as a moral duty to God. No one can be saved by keeping commandments. Keeping them is what you do when you love Jesus, which no one can do until they have been transformed by His grace...

    Continued... The contrasts that Paul seeks to make are essentially the same as the contrasts between the old and new covenants: 1. "The ministration of “death" versus ”the ministration of the spirit." 2. "Ministration of condemnation" versus "ministration of righteousness." 3. "Letter killes"...

    The introduction to the passage before us finds Paul declaring to the Corinthian brethren: "You are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men: forasmuch as you are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of...

    Was Jesus a law breaker?

    Being "reckoned" among the transgressors is not the same as being a transgressor. It's an expression that contains two extra words that are indicative of substitutionary atonement. Also, the very translation you quote emphasizes the future tense of the "reckoning" accomplishment in Christ, long...

    Heart Problems.

    Sure thing, Sis! Like I said, I haven't been keeping up on the terms in recent years but, after scouting around a bit, I spotted the last term I remember hearing it called by my cardiologist—Paroxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardia. It is basically a short-circuit in the upper chamber of the...

    Of how much more value then is a man than a sheep? Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.” (Matthew 12:12) Did man suddenly become more valuable than sheep "when Jesus did good works on the Sabbath?" .

    Individual Sabbatarians don't necessarily represent the literature you've seen. So you should really stop making the claim that they do in order to avoid the genetic fallacy error. There is a clear distinction between what must be done to be saved and what must be done as a moral duty to God...

    I think Jesus Himself disputes it: If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love. (John 15:10) .

    Individual Sabbatarians don't necessarily represent the literature you've seen. So you should really stop making the claim that they do in order to avoid the genetic fallacy error. For the same reason I believe it's important for Christians, of all people, not to worship other Gods, bow down...

    "Holy Ghost" evasion/addition to the double-down gobbledygook Please stop telling me that I like something that never saved anyone. No one has ever been saved by keeping moral or any other kind of law. It's absolutely absurd, because we start sinning before we even know what sin is, which puts...
