Frankly, I don't understand the desire to portray Christ as a sinner. It seems inconsistent to me that He would chide the Pharisees for "condemning" His "guiltless" disciples in Matthew 12:7 and doing so much instructing on and defending of proper Sabbath-keeping, in general, that the word...

Circaseptan rhythms of rest and worship for living souls on Earth are a matter of natural law and the divine Author of that law has been pleased to add to the moral obligation of observing this principle with the specific timing of the seventh day of the week He established "in the beginning."...

I need to make some pasta sauce. I saw a great video on YouTube the other day about it and I've learned some things since I posted that last (ridiculously labor-intensive) recipe. .

After reviewing, I'm afraid I'm not at all sure we are on the same page here. :( .

That would most likely be a browser malfunction since I'm fairly certain the forum software contains none. .

While I'm aware that I'm subject to bias toward the subject of the Sabbath, I'm going to go out on a limb and say this strikes me as being one of the best posts I've seen from you, my old force to be reckoned with friend. I hope you don't mind my own added boldface emphasis on another key idea...

"Grace," it is, then? I caught that; that is cute. But I think Tulipbee might be a sock. You love him too much - lol. A likely story. Have you no shame? :p Uh-huh You're too charitable. Well, here I go... So, it's μοιχεύσεις which appears to be the narrower term, i.e. extra-marital...

Uh, you just said that to a woman. :r.u.n: Maybe I'll just call you Grace(ful) - lol. . Things I'm saying to people who care about me this morning (o_O) : I'm getting really good at putting things on backwards in the dark. (And Grammarly wants me to spell that "backward."— What would that...

Well, this is going just like I hoped it wouldn't. You're leading with "You don't know what you're talking about" so it's already devolved into a non-discussion. A shame. Have a good evening, GB. :) .

I can literally hear my arteries hardening, GP. I'm being hyperbolic here but in no way facetious. "one law for the native born and the foreigner" is "let each man be fully convinced in his own mind" barely sounds like they're of the same language to me. Not that I don't get the contrast...

To be honest, either this explanation is over my head or I don't think we're going to profit much from a discussion about the law :oops: as this seems rather a liberal view of law to me—actually more akin to what I might call "legal pluralism," at best. I confess it's shocking from the...

My pleasure. I kinda went nuts with this thread. I actually PMed a couple of other folks to see if I might be overdoing it. .

You are to have the same law for the foreigner and the native-born. I am the LORD your God. (Leviticus 24:22) But avoid foolish controversies and genealogies and arguments and quarrels about the law, because these are unprofitable and useless. (Titus 3:9) Of course, I realize the corner I've...

:no reply: .

"Gets it?" I'm not sure I get it, SS. I like to call people I'm chummy with by name. Whaddya like—"SS" or "Steve?" (Let's try that one on.) Imposing the exclusivity of the original contract and the wedding night experience on πορνείᾳ seems an awful lot like textbook eisegesis to me, ⇨Steve⇦...

Strangely enough, my understanding is that most folks who say they are gluten intolerant have never been diagnosed as such. And a proper diagnosis involves a test that actually requires the presence of some gluten in the system to give a positive result for Celiac and, with 50% of Americans...

@Tulipbee Welcome, welcome, welcome!!! .

"While surveying the site of some ancient ruins..." .

Look, folks, I don't know why this always has to turn into a "You said: 'You have to do as I dictate or you cannot be saved'" straw man-type argument. God told Israel not to eat unclean animals. I really think there's sufficient evidence to support that it wasn't an arbitrary, temporary, purely...

Except for the "In saying this" part. Not a definitive conclusion :) .
