Hi, FB! Long time no see! :D I understand that there are many different reasons that people adopt their own set of beliefs. I just don't understand why folks are comfortable joining the Sabbath to what they call "the law of Moses," but not the other nine commandments.

No argument there, so why aren't all Christians doing it? It was Christ who administered all TEN of the commandments from Sinai: 1 Corinthians 10:9 KJV: Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents. Christ, Χριστόν (Christon) Noun - Accusative...

Really no need to do that unless the goal is to explain away the simple, plain reading of the text. There's nothing ambiguous about "Nothing can be removed from the law." Right? I think what trips a lot of folks up is that they can't accept paradoxes. God's ways are not our ways, neither are...

I probably used the term a little too loosely. One of the tactics debaters often use is to overwhelm their opponents by posing clusters of questions so voluminous that the opponent hasn't the allotted time to answer them all. I don't really suspect that you would purposely do such a thing, and I...

Do you think things like not bowing down to idols, not murdering, stealing, lying, etc. were novel ideas to the Hebrews? By the way, they were tested on their willingness to keep the Sabbath in Exodus 16, several months before the giving of the law at Sinai. The objections to Sabbath-keeping...

Well, Friend, I don't understand the 4th point, but the first 3 I haven't overlooked at all. I've been fielding these arguments for decades. Head over to Sabbathtruth.com and you'll find answers to all of these and more. I can't fathom what it is that Christians find so objectionable about...

Okay

How can it be a given if it's expressed in the Bible?

Class act, Brother. Whatever offences might've occurred, all is forgiven. To be fair, almost every doctrinal subject discussed on this board is beaten as a dead horse so that wouldn't seem to be any more true regarding the Sabbath and the perpetuity of the moral law, I guess. :)

Sorry, I forgot to address your points. That's pretty much baked into the commandment's actual verbiage. Not sure how that pertains to its validity. This is just a statement of opinion, really. Is this a reference to Sunday sacredness or something? Prescriptions? ?

So "some ppl" doesn't refer to those who hallow the Sabbath and disagree with your interpretation of Hebrews 7 (about which I noticed you made no comment)? You referred to "some ppl" in parentheses twice. It was dark outside when I was born, but it wasn't last night. Does the fact that you've...

Spam is limited to the act of reposting? How could commandment-keeping save someone who has already broken them. The conditions of eternal life are perfect obedience, and the wages of sin is death so everyone who was ever born needs a Substitute. ...unless the Giver of the law says that one...

I would never passively-aggressively accuse you of not wanting to recognize that the entire 7th chapter of Hebrews is about the Levitical priesthood and the ceremonial law, and that not one mention is made of the moral law of which the Sabbath commandment is the centerpiece. I think you probably...

What about His spotless life? Don't we need that registered to our account to be justified?

At this point, you're kinda just spamming me with circular reasoning. That's not very nice. :( I wouldn't do that to you. Jesus told the rich young ruler to keep the commandments because they are the eternal conditions of eternal life. Once a person is convicted that he has forfeited his...

Do these qualify as commandments? Exodus 20:1 KJV: And God spake all these words, saying, Exodus 20:2 KJV: I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Exodus 20:3 KJV: Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Exodus 20:4 KJV: Thou shalt...

One year ago you virtually shouted from the hilltops that God would never allow Biden to take office and that that was guaranteed in the Bible...

He did, indeed, but I'm not sure that explains a matter as weighty as fulfilling the law, especially considering He said we will keep it if we love Him. The purpose of keeping the law was never to obtain salvation. By the time the sinner becomes sin-aware, that ship has sailed. No amount of...

Yes, I'm sure that if a hyper Calvinist came along and read the OP, they would be enlightened and reformed. :)

It's the least I can do for a fellow pilgrim. ;)
