You think way too much, Scott. ;) .

That's a tall order, btw. ;) Requires lots of divine grace. .

I hope I'm treading this wire successfully, Dear. :hearteyes: .

That's kinda mean, isn't it, BOL? That's not much nicer, but what's so hard about: "Christ didn't leave His divine authority to forgive sins to a few select, mortal men?" And I'm not anti-Catholic, in the general sense—I'm a Pro-testant—"in favor of testing." Call me what you like; I am...

By honest concession, I recognize that your objection is valid in most cases on a platform of this type and, alas, I am not anywhere close to being entirely innocent. .

I'm not sure that you're not biting off more than I can chew here. If I didn't know you better, this would look like a trap to me. :) .

Or, is it a matter of: "These things ought ye to have done, and not left the other undone." Who said that? .

Of course not (it's like you don't know me at all - lol), but I can administer reconciliation by encouraging folks to repent and confess to God. (And, of course, I can forgive, on my own behalf, anyone who's wronged me.) .

You know, it's really very interesting to me that our name was divinely appointed, as a matter of history, but it's not working out the way I used to read it. I thought it was largely a matter of piquing curiosity, but I'm finding out that it was probably meant just as much (and, as time goes...

Priesthood of all believers, Chum! :tiphat: .

I'm a hopeless commandment-keeper, my friend. That's generally considered an arrogant thing to say in today's postmodern online salad of ultra-literalism and skepticism, but: . :musicn2: "Gimme that ol' time religion...":musicn2: You know what I mean? .

But no more authority than any non-apostolic writer of Scripture. All Scripture is inspired by God and beneficial for teaching, for rebuke, for correction, for training in righteousness; (2 Timothy 3:16) Well, in verse 18, it appears to be anyone who's been reconciled to God. I don't think...

Well, I didn't bring up the 4th commandment—you did, so out of respect to the participants of this discussion, I'm posting my reply here: "Questions For Sabbatarians" .

No such thing ever happened. It's a flowery enough pronouncement, but it's simply not a thing at all. The Ten Commandments are not sub-ordinate to the Torah, and no "ordination" making them so is to be found in Exodus 20. The hierarchy of law is as follows: The Two Great Commandments The Ten...

I was a Navy brat with roots in east TN, but I met my PA Dutch wife when we were in the Air Force in (West) Germany in the '80s. Guess where we ended up settling down? - lol .

That doesn't seem very funny. What determines if something is a preconceived idea? .
