Are you sure?

John Bunyan actually wrote a book about this when he was in prison. His work as a missionary to his fellow inmates convinced him of the same thing: That Sabbath-keeping was not a natural manifestation of the Spirit of God. He forgot two little other things: Civilization and cultural...

But I thought I plainly said that I don't know what he's talking about. You're not mind-reading me again, are you? ;) The ten commandments. What else? Certainly, and there are also ten. But I often have people tell me that "love your neighbors" is all you need to be concerned with, and I...

Agreed. That is, unless God requires us to keep the Sabbath for some reason other than justification. :)

He also directed several episodes of TAGS and Gomer Pyle, USMC. He was also 1st Sergeant of an Army Special Forces unit in WWII. :)

I'd like to know. :)

Oh, and it seems I overlooked this: 2017 Q3: The Gospel in Galatians | Sabbath School Net (I thought we'd studied this more recently. :confused:) You might want to look them over. You could possibly learn a thing or two--you know, so you don't have to go around bearing false witness, that is...

I was born again in 1972, and the ten commandments were the moral standard for people who didn't even go to church or keep them. The only hitch was that nearly all Christians (including myself) thought that Sunday was the Sabbath. My grandmothers would allow no work, that could wait until...

You don't really have to be so shy with me, 1CL. After all we go back as far a few years ago over on CB (you may not recall--I'm not sure I used the "Barny" handle over there).<<<< Not sure this remark was necessary now after seeing your subsequent posts and after my taking so long to finish...

A lying, slanderous, straw man non-answer. Nice work, Curtis. :rolleyes:

1CL, I declare, your just so precious! I'm still typing a response to your first reply to my little rant. I'm havin' a hard time gettin' my head to work right. :p

I try to avoid carrying tales of conspiracy, not because I don't think they exist, but because I don't trust the sources of the news to be honest, and I don't want to be found bearing false witness. Of course, the Bible Itself testifies to some conspiracies, and those I don't hesitate to point...

Or possibly, in this case, turned on its head, eh?

Yes, please, show us how clear it is, from Scripture, exactly what it means for commandments 1-3 and 5-10 to be designated as "the ministration of death," i.e., the nature of the "ministration" and that of the "death." And while you're at it, perhaps you could tell us where, in Scripture, it...

Yes, I understand. You are insisting, once again, that reparation is about anything and everything but reparation. Forgiveness is not the issue here. The issue is bringing forth fruits meet for repentance. You can make up your own definition of the word "reparation" if you like but, then...

Whew! I thought you were gonna lite into me like a tornado in a windmill, 1CL. ;)

...which has absolutely nothing to do with reparations--Não a reparação. Moving the goalposts slightly from "giving again" to "giving back" won't help your case, either. And "distinct from Caesar"/"Caesar giving to himself?" Are you actually trying to teach me metaphysics now? There is no...

Yeah, I'm probably going to get it, too. I was thinking of starting a thread just about the devil. Behold has a new one going on but it's only about the origin of sin. That's all Christians ever want to talk about when it comes to the enemy of souls. No one wants to talk about what's going on...

It still is. The only difference is that Christ brought a complete end to the Theocracy on earth, so now Christians are acquitted and infidels' sentences are suspended. Antinomianism is just a mass of confusion authored and evolved by the devil (Ye shall not surely die). He knows Scripture...

Actually, what He said was to render to Caesar that which was already his. There is no giving involved. I don't see what the separation of church and state as pertaining to the paying of taxes has to do with reparations. You seem to be intent on making reparations out to be about anything and...
