So did I. He had an amazing grasp of the doctrine of common grace. :) Have you ever read E.M. Bounds's works on prayer? Amazing. .

Me too - a break from this zoo is good once in a while. Sadly, it looks as though things have devolved since we left. We have some real lunatics joining us. .

All you had to do was look around, Brother. I'm all in. :) .

@David in NJ and to whomever may have read this post before: NOTE: I have edited and reposted this to ensure that it's clear that I have the utmost compassion for actual victims of satanic harassment that comes in the form of temptations to perversion of every kind. Absolute rubbish. The...

There are ten commandments that the children of Adam are to live by. The seventh condemns any sexual activity or intimate co-habitation outside of the union between two committed persons, one each of male AND female anatomy. No high-brow, sophisticated "exegesis" is required to understand...

I'm experiencing some insomnia presently, so I'm using these hours to brush up on some apologetics skills. Have you ever lusted after a woman in your heart or hated your brother without cause? I hope not, in the case that "if part is done away, then all is done away." The way in which...

I explain it by just acknowledging that God isn't a fool and He wouldn't require people to observe a sacred appointment that was logistically impossible. He actually knew that people were going to be fruitful and multiply and fill the whole earth. I belong to a worldwide body of 24 million...

I hardly think it'll be necessary. Having a good time? .

Another "fact" that proves nothing. Paul undoubtedly spoke to people every chance he got. Are we to believe that he declined offers to speak unless they involved making an appearance during sacred hours? I used to argue this point by an illustration of the entire account, giving a precise...

No. The Book they taught from tells all about the Sabbath. I'm sure it came up. A lot of things happened during the infancy of the church that didn't make it into the New Testament. An argument from silence is a "fact" for which no account can be given. .

Some people get weak when they don't eat. .

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...

The premise of the question is flawed and convoluted but the explanation of 2 Corinthians, chapter 3 is as follows: 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...

Good idea .

Not that this question refers to the Sabbath in any way, but: Acts 15:23-29 They wrote this letter by them: The apostles, the elders, and the brethren, To the brethren who are of the Gentiles in Antioch, Syria, and Cilicia: Greetings. Since we have heard that some who went out from us...

The Sabbath should be kept for the same reason people shouldn't steal, kill, bear false witness, etc.—not because of some hermeneutical hocus pocus. Your equivocation fallacy is hereby expelled: Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing, but keeping the commandments of God is what...

Two questions: 1. If Christ broke the fourth commandment, then why did He say, "I have kept my Father's commandments?" John 15:10. 2. The Sabbath objector says that "the law"—and he insists that all laws both moral and ceremonial are comprehended in that term—was in force until the cross...
