The point is floating again - lol. .

Who can afford not to, right? .

Did you ever notice that for all of our professions of fidelity to _____________ , what we do mainly around here is to compare ourselves one with another? I mean it's a legitimate social media phenomenon against which neo-Christianity has not successfully immunized itself. .

Steal beatin' the bushes? :cool: .

Christ was a preacher on earth—Gotcha? .

I just read the book of Jude. It is always good to read Scripture by appointment. I wish I could report noticing something fresh and new but, alas... Perhaps a seed is sown of which I am not yet aware. Thank you for your encouragement. :) .

I wasn't questioning your motives and I didn't mean to be critical, but I can tell you from experience that the "us-and-them" road is a long and lonely one because Christ never walks there. He never suffered bullies, though, and we do indeed have them, as you can see. But pride is a hard...

It is a perilous undertaking to ascribe motive. It is scarcely a wise course. :) .

You're much too kind to say so, and it shows, in part, what kind of a man you truly are. Honestly, If Jesus Christ is same yesterday, today, and forever," wouldn't it look anything like all things written of Him in the law, the prophets, and the apostles? I will do that solely at your...

It seems odd that you insist upon an ever-floating point that is esteemed "greater" only by yourself. You are entitled to your priorities and emphases from Scripture. But to urge them as "THE point" is just a denial of the 3/4 million (English, at least) words that we are expected by God to...

I hope it's clear that I meant nothing more need be said with regard to the specific question I was addressing. :) .

Arguments from silence aren't very convincing. And this one in particular is just plain nonsense. No Christian would ever dare say: "Since Christ didn't require the rich young ruler to have no other gods before Jehovah, or to abstain from idolatry or taking the LORD's name in vain, why should...

Aw, sure we do. And stop saying silly stuff like that over and over. Have some pride in your ability to reason without being monotonous. .

So then you weren't trying to quote me while ensuring I wouldn't get a notification? Never mind. You'd never cop. But well played on your part. Since I realize that you are now definitely targeting me, you should know that there are ways of monitoring what an individual posts other than...

It is quite true that Christ said, "A new commandment I give unto you, That you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another." John 13:34. Would the objector want to reason from this that all other commandments are abolished? The text does not allow such a conclusion...

Exodus 31:14 reads, "You shall keep the Sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one that defiles it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever does any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people." Deuteronomy 13:6, 10; 21:18, 21; 22:21-28, and all of Leviticus 20...

The prohibition against kindling a fire is not part of the fourth commandment of the Ten Commandments. And it is the precepts of the Ten Commandments that are moral and thus eternally binding. There were many civil as well as ceremonial statutes given to Israel that had limited duration. For...

The instruction given in Exodus 16:29 is a prohibition against going out to gather food—not to stay inside like a prisoner. Leviticus 23:3 declares that the weekly Sabbath is a sacred assembly. a day of sacred קֹ֔דֶשׁ (qō·ḏeš) Noun - masculine singular Strong's 6944: A sacred place, thing...

The question presumes that for a law to be in existence, there must be some exact account in Scripture of a man having observed or having been taught that law. This presumption is wholly illogical. It also implies two claims: First, that the Sabbath was instituted in a Jewish setting. This...

I can only assume that you're pretending this hasn't already been addressed (here) for the sole purpose of being obnoxious since, well, that's what you do. .
