Matthew 23:23 KJV: Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.

Best I can tell, it is exactly the same. Well, then, as has already been pointed out, this acknowledgment is actually a deception, because it is not wise to eisegete Matthew 12 or any other part of Scripture. The text means what it says and no more. This is an open-ended license to sin and is...

Some of your points are easy to answer, such as this one. ^^^^ You don't have to be converted to refrain from murdering people, either, so how does 'lack of ability to prove conversion' disqualify any of the ten commandments as being viable? (The fruit of the spirit is simply the working out...

WINNER, WINNER, CHIK'N DINNER!!! :D:D:D;););):):):)

Yes, it was called "Sabbatholatry" by another poster. I get that a lot. But I honestly don't think I give the Sabbath any more weight than, say, not murdering people. Would you find the fruit of the Spirit "concrete" in the same way that you would a rainbow, a circumcision, a baptism, or a...

The more we engage in commentary on the Bible, the more we see man-made standards and doctrines. Are these moral laws? Exodus 20:3 KJV: Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Exodus 20:4 KJV: Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven...

Is that anything like the poor destitute billionaires? :cool:

I find a few problems with this. First, the idea that the Sabbath is just a day to avoid doing certain things. Jesus said that it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath. He also had a custom of attending Synagogue on the Sabbath. And healing people of their diseases and infirmities. Second, the...

Not just yet, it ain't. :D

Thought police? (lol) Fact is, there's no thinking to do. God has already settled the matter by placing it smack-dab in the middle (just a figure of speech) of His moral code for humanity. I trust you to do what's right. I know that you will. :) Signs are generally more concrete: Rainbow...

Were you there? How do you know a commandment wasn't made? And, more was written than that the Lord rested on the 7th day from creating the heavens and the earth in 6 days, as you claim: Genesis 2:3 Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because on that day He rested from all the...

So it's best to go ahead and murder someone so you won't have to worry about why you're not murdering them? Dishonor father and mother so you don't have to worry about why you're honoring them? Am I making any sense at all? o_O

For what it's worth, I don't recommend trusting any version over another as a course of habit. On the other hand, I don't see anything wrong with a person picking one version and sticking with it, either. Some versions translate certain passages better than others. I don't believe the whole...

He is alive and well and active over at CF. :)

Of course, you're right, and I owe you a heartfelt apology. I've known you long enough to know better. I can't take time to flesh this out right now (I took a pretty ugly fall early this afternoon) but I wanted to get it on the record right away. :)

Actually, when I do that, I reach the exact opposite conclusion. I can't at all picture God saying or thinking" Your 'not having other gods before me' is detestable to me." What do Levitical sabbaths, feasts, new moons and incense have to do with the ten commandments? You seem to just be...

You know, that's just a mean thing to say. There are people who are being physically persecuted right now for worshiping God according to the dictates of their conscience by keeping the Sabbath. You ought to be ashamed of yourself. :(

The sign of the New Covenant is the Lord's Supper. You're using a sub-detail/requirement of the commandment to define the whole. That doesn't seem like a sound hermeneutic. :)

I don't understand this at all, FB. :)
