Wasn't he the seed of the woman? (Genesis 3:15)

Amen, Brother. It is impossible for a created being to give up a life he doesn't own. All created beings are the property of God and thus owe their lives to Him by default. We have nothing to offer God but the love He empowers us to render to Himself and other created beings.

No, he really doesn't!

Is this sarcasm? Just asking. :)

@Ronald Nolette (Cont'd) Paul had earlier said to the Corinthians, "The sting of death is sin: and the strength of sin is the law." 1 Cor. 15:56. That is, if it were not for the law of God, which condemns those who violate it, there would be no sin, and hence no death in the penalty for sin...

Read carefully: This objection to the perpetuity of the ten commandments (but, in actuality, only the 4th, since no one ever objects to the other 9—this is as hard and cold a fact as one is likely to find) is common but, unfortunately, grossly misguided. It is, in fact, based on eisegesis of...

Sure there is. There's something much closer to a direct command to keep the Sabbath than there is to say that it's been changed or eliminated or fulfilled, etc., blah...

Uh, no, most believers actually do not reject how Jesus counted days referring to His death and resurrection, including yours truly. Otherwise, we wouldn't have Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday. :)

Actually, they have nothing whatsoever to do with each other. :)

That's so clever. There were plenty of NT verses, Ron, and you never addressed them. No one ever does. They just ignore them. By the way, are you admitting here that the Mosaic law is distinct from the ten commandments? 'Cause it sure sounds like it.

@GEN2REV, I don't see how the context helps the picture of God as a "heartwarming destroyer." But we can drop it any time you like, Pal. Pal? Trouble? Would you be needin' a safe space, maybe? :p

Heartwarming?

Sustaining life and health is work that must be done 24/7 and it can be done with much benefit to the laborer while keeping the Sabbath. God does it all the time. John 5 16And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the Sabbath day...

Trust me (or not, that's fine), you're helpless. Ever read Job? On my best day, what I do for my family is so much less than what God does, it's not even comparable. I do what God gives me the strength to do, and I'm grateful for that strength, but I feel safer knowing that God keeps the devil...

Yeah, no one cares about 2 Corinthians 3 until it's time to bash the law. "Oh, goody, there's a verse of two that I can twist into saying something that a thousand other verses deny."

About what? I didn't know we were at odds.

No, wait. I've got it. The wages of sin is death! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Yeah, and I'm waiting for that text! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

What's the diff? You never answered the texts I gave. "Because you cannot hold to this and that."

Except for the one you don't like.
