Or, maybe, it's 5 years later, or 10, or 20, or 50! So maybe you've fooled yourself into thinking you're "saved" your whole life, and then when you awake from death, you hear the pronouncement: "I never knew you." Oops, you weren't sincere enough. Take these things hence!!!

Which amounts to Righteousness By Sincerity, Instead of Biblical Righteousness By Faith... which, when all is said and done, amounts to: ***N-O- A-S-S-U-R-A-N-C-E- A-T- A-L-L*** BEEN THERE, DONE THAT. I'LL TAKE A HARD PASS!!!

Genetic fallacy ("How can any good thing come out of Nazareth?"). Why not just judge the material by its merits or lack thereof? I don't dismiss out of hand everything that originates from Catholicism. For instance, I could just as easily have quoted from Catholic sources: "Pope Miltiades...

You are, of course, at liberty to worship and rest upon any day of the week you choose, for whatever reason you like. However, the sense of urgency and detail in your defense of worshiping on Sunday would seem to me to venture fairly close to what is being reproved in Galatians 4:10. That is...

@GEN2REV I can't tell you how glad I am that you received this post in the spirit in which it was intended. That's become a problem around here lately. :)

Without going into detail, while assuring you that I say this with all charity and good will, you seem to be both preaching to the choir here and, most likely, inadvertently erecting a straw man. I don't believe temptation is sin, but I believe they are both very dangerous. And I couldn't...

Who's "us?" I didn't know you had any skin in the Sunday game. I thought Sabbath-keeping was strictly spiritual for you. So are you saying that my saying Sunday-keeping has its origins in heathen sun worship is hurtful to you? Accusing whom? A bunch of pagan folk who've been dead for thousands...

@1stCenturyLady and @Ferris Bueller I knew you guys would like this. - lol

I probably shouldn't have used the term as I did. Do you take everything I tell you as truth, 1CL? We don't agree on this point. That's okay, isn't it? The practice of assuming solemnity of the first day of the week has its roots in heathen sun worship--not the resurrection of Christ. The fact...

The context suggests ceremonial feast sabbaths. Sabbath days. Gr. sabbata. This may represent either a genuine plural of the Gr. sabbaton or a transliteration of the Aramaic shabbata’, a singular form. Hence sabbata, though grammatically plural in form, may and often does represent a singular...

Actually, the only thing we have no rest from is temptation. We are capable of sinning, no doubt. Though, a person who keeps himself perfectly consecrated at all times can completely overcome all sin. The Bible says there is no temptation that is without means of escape. I believe what the Bible...

Here we go again. You can't demand that your arguments be acknowledged as sensible by others without looking kinda nutty/narcissistic, FB. I'm sure that's not your intention. :)

Innuendo and mockery (spices and perfumes?) aren't very persuasive in encouraging others to reform, Mary. :) No respected Christian scholar believes today that Colossians 2 refers to the 4th commandment, not even Catholic, I would think. And why would they? Such a position weakens the basis for...

That was an accident--my fault. :D

You rolled your eyes at me! :p:p:p When I learned the ten commandments as a child in Sunday School, they were shortened so as to make them easier for little ones to learn. I distinctly remember memorizing "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy." The reason for rembering to keep the Sabbath...

The weekly Sabbath is not a type or shadow--it is a memorial of creation. Says so right in the language of the commandment, you leg-puller, you. :p

@1stCenturyLady Wouldn't you agree? And a lot of it's unintentional.

No reprimand intended whatsoever. We Americans are way too sensitive, you know it? :):):)

There are varying degrees of that kind of thing. Naaaah :D Yeah, come to think of it, I do recollect you doing that more than once. You know, I lost track of you for a while, there, Kiddo (that's what I used to call my sister ;)). lllooolll
