And I never said you did. I was just making a general statement. :) Did Jesus say He would fulfill the law on the cross? Perhaps He did fulfill it, in a very distinct sense. So assuming He did accomplish this, how exactly is the law fulfilled? Has heaven and earth passed? I don't believe it...

But isn't picking up our cross and following Jesus in a different vein of illustration than being dead to sin and alive unto Christ? God is trying to call us up to be seated with Christ in Heavenly places so He can teach us things that no man can utter, is He not? Surely, many are the devices to...

Brother, I'm afraid you're drawing conclusions about my position and situation that just aren't so. I don't know that I used to believed the same way you do about the Sabbath at all. And I said nothing whatsoever about my source of motivation for investigating the Sabbath question. That is...

@Lambano She is right on the money and, best I can tell, what she's talking about is taught thoroughly in this book: (If you care to peek at it) Lesson 02 – Lessons on Faith (Lesson 1 has no instruction) :)

I thought it meant that Christ had finished all that He came to do. o_O:confused:

I don't mean to be dismissive at all, Brother, but I don't seem to be communicating effectively that I am 32 years past looking for reasons to break the commandments of God. It is completely foreign to me. I could look through the Bible and find 100 verses to support the idea that it was right...

Oh, yeah! Great stuff! :D

Pray earnestly, as never before, claiming the promises of God for him. Show God that you're willing to make a fool of yourself if need be by telling Him that you expect Him to come down and keep His word and heal this man, even if He chooses not to do it at this time. Get serious with Him; tell...

@Christ4Me I'm not sure why I have to discern and search for a reason to disobey what God has already made plain. Honestly, is that really necessary? For what it's worth, I've been there, done that, 32 years ago. I was raised a Southern Baptist, in a church where they taught that the ten (not...

NEW AND IMPROVED?? When I first started this thread, the comments quickly turned to contentious debate, as could be expected. I got symptoms of COVID-19 Sunday evening and, along with my daughter (who works in a hospital ICU), I got tested first thing Monday morning, and today (Jan 18), we...

I never, ever question another person's standing with God. You may amass all of the Scripture quotes you like to try to express the belief that the Sabbath is no longer a requirement enjoined upon men. They have all been sufficiently refuted many thousands of times, and I will no longer...

I've had this kind of thing happen to me many times and, in my experience, there is no better way to deal with it than to just leave it with the LORD. After all, since we're doing everything as to the LORD, there's no loss involved, really. The earth and the cattle on a thousand hills belong to...

I love your post, here John, but given this a true (oops) statement, don't we really have to more clearly define what the word "need" means? What in, fact, do we need? We really don't know what we need, but your claim that we must be in and led by The Spirit couldn't be more true (there it is...

No, thank you. I prefer a plain reading of Scripture unless otherwise indicated. I'm funny that way. It's simple. God put it in the middle of His moral code for human beings. Even wrote it with His own finger, quite likely before any Scripture even existed. I get it. He wants us to take Saturday...

Yes. You can actually just mouse-over to display them, as well (I've been her too long - lol). I just missed your citation. Sorry. :)

What a wonderful yarn! You should submit it to Readers Digest. :p

How could anyone like this? Are you particularly fond of conducting inquisitions like this or are you just bored? :mad:

It just occurred to me that the Sabbath is kept just as many keep Christmas: Eve(ning) and morning. Hallelujah--PRAISE GOD!!! Proverbs 4:18 The path of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn, shining brighter and brighter until midday.

Just for the record, I do believe John Calvin was a great man of God. :) I truly admire all of the reformers, especially Wycliffe, Hus, Luther, Melanchthon, Calvin, Zwingli, and the great Preachers of the two Great Awakenings: Chesterton, Spurgeon, Moody, etc. It's a shame that Edwards's...

It is acceptable to do good on the Sabbath. It is not acceptable to adopt a policy of broad-based Sabbath-breaking. This is not my judgment. It is simply what the Bible teaches. If you consider this as me "judging" someone else for Sabbath-breaking let me assure you, that is not my intention. I...
