I will address David's long winded repeat of his former assertions in a little while, but in the meantime, and on a side note, I am curious. Why does the question of not believing Jesus is God , keep coming up on a discussion on Sabbath keeping?

I was raised Catholic and educated in Catholic schools. When I left school, I never returned to the church. I was born again at age 23 and joined a pentecostal church. I backslid from there after 10 years or more, and at age 43 repented, and asked the Lord to start again, and treat me as if I...

Was actually considering that verse a few days ago and talking about it with a friend. My feeble mind can't grasp the enormity of the idea encapsulated in those few words. All things work together... All the encounters one has over a life time with both good, bad, and the indifferent, and how...

I would like to know which prophecy speaks of changing the names of the authors. Who were the true authors? I have no qualms concerning the nature of the apostate church and it's numerous fables and legends and frauds to turn people away from Christ, but I can think of many many instances of...

Yes, using grace to justify disobedience is presumption.

Oh... The endless debates on what those concepts actually mean... To whom... And when... And how. Oh, and who said.

The most ancient Christian writers unanimously and consistently attribute the first of the 4 gospels to Matthew. Internal evidence indicates it was written by a converted Jew. While it is a tradition that the authors Matthew, Mark and Luke are today given attribution, it isn't without evidence...

David. I also read a book many years ago how the number 7 is intertwined throughout scripture, and how it is used to designate completeness. It was a fascinating read, and was an enlightening revelation into the complexity and intricacy with which the scriptures were inspired. Hugely encouraging...

And amen. That verse has been one of my favorites throughout all my Christian life. It has helped immensely to cope with and appreciate the power and loving faithfulness of my Father.

Agreed. There a more dangerous kind of tradition, the type of tradition that hasn't been added to scripture, but it's accepted as the Lord's will,n but not specifically taught in scripture. Once such tradition is accepted into orthodoxy...or CAT, then what scriptures there are that contradict...

In other words, orthodoxy?

Because you will not find anything specific in scripture to support the above, I would like to know on whose authority you stand on in doing away with the 4th commandment. What is it precisely that you think Sabbath keepers are attempting to gain by this dubious exchange you charge them with...

@amadeus hello John. Thank you for sharing, I do vaguely remember you doing so previously many moons ago. About chastisement. God is merciful and gracious, long-suffering, and abundant in goodness and truth. He treats us always with love, and whatever chastisement he metes out, breaks us, but...

Hey Helen, lovely to see you still around and kicking. Hope you and family are well. God bless.

Even though the bishop of Rome may claim them as his, other churches do not come under his authority unless they voluntarily do so by submitting themselves to His doctrines and his dogma. Those churches who believe the Bible to be their only rule of faith endanger their own souls with every step...

Yes, but I covered that when I described what was to be done on the Sabbath... Christian duty to your neighbor doesn't get nullified because it's Sabbath. Quite the opposite, "it is lawful to do well on the Sabbath day".

You are correct, circumcision was a very big deal. Which is why there was such controversy, debate, and furor over the NT Christians who taught that circumcision was no longer necessary as sign of relationship and commitment to the Lord. Yet the Sabbath was an institution that predated...

That's a great question... Wouldn't an archeologist love to find the ark? I am sure you realize though that those stone tablets, even the ones Moses broke, weren't the original commandments. KJV Hebrews 8:3-5 3 For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of...

On what basis does God divide the sheep from the goats in the final harvest? When the angels come to gather the children of God from one end of the earth to the other, how do they know whose are His? On the basis of a confession of faith? Baptism? In Revelation 14 there is a distinct difference...

No-one is claiming that obedience to God's commandments saved, or saves, or justifies anyone. I have never read that on any forum anywhere. However, disobedience... That is sin... Is the reason we need saving. Shall we sin... Disobey... That grace may abound? God forbid.
