Also, it is believed by some that God reduced man's life expectancy in order to quell the tide of overall rebellion by giving permission (for the first time) to eat the flesh of animals to Noah after the flood as well as providing for nourishment in the absence of plant life.

There are several theories floating around in my study circles: No man lived fully to 1000 years because: but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.” (Genesis 2:17) But, beloved, do not forget this one thing...

Yeah, we're so much more enlightened now. I can't keep track of you guys, so in case I repeat myself I'm sorry, but you do know that people are saved no differently today than they were in antiquity, don't you? Salvation has always been by grace through faith. No Old Testament believers were...

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary the sabbath—Omit "THE," which is not in the Greek (compare Note, see on [2419]Ga 4:10). "Sabbaths" (not "the sabbaths") of the day of atonement and feast of tabernacles have come to an end with the Jewish services to which they belonged (Le 23:32, 37-39)...

Colossians 2:16 is not about the weekly Sabbath. And saying "Period" afterwards won't make it any less erroneous. Sabbath days. Gr. sabbata. This may represent either a genuine plural of the Gr. sabbaton or a transliteration of the Aramaic shabbata’, a singular form. Hence sabbata, though...

It's like you're not even following the discussion. It is not what you've conveyed at all. You've talked about the Sabbath coming to the end of its significance since the OP because of your wild interpretation of Matthew 28:1, and Sunday (the 1st day of the week) being the Lord's day. And then...

So be it. You believe that visiting widows and orphans and being in the world, but not of the world is bondage.

Commandment-haters think they know what the term "under the law" means, but they won't tell you what all Paul really has to say about the law, because then they'd have to admit that his instruction is not as simple as modern commandment-hating. Therefore the law is holy, and the commandment...

There is no consensus among Israel as to the Mitzvot 613 number, but I guess it sounds impressive to some people. Kinda makes it sound like you know what you're talking about. and Yeah, this sounds like an awful burden: I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart...

Not according to James: Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world. (James 1:27)

Giveth life. Literally, “makes alive.” The ministry of the “spirit” imparts supernatural power. The sentence of death imposed by the law is superseded by the gift of life in Christ (1 John 5:11, 12). When brought to the conscience of a converted man, the standard of God’s righteousness becomes...

I might have already read it once or twice: Not of the letter. The contrast between “letter” and “spirit” in Scripture is peculiar to the apostle Paul (see on Rom. 2:27–29; 7:6). The one is outward, the other inward. Both Jews and Christians are in danger of stressing the “letter” to the...

I hope this wasn't supposed to make any sense with regard to the discussion at hand.

"The day of the LORD" found in Scripture refers to the Second Coming of Christ--not the 1st day of the week. You have got to be kidding me. Now you're a mind reader? I've been a Sabbath-keeper for 31 years. Even if I hadn't found it myself long ago, don't you think one of my fellow...

Nowhere in the Bible does it say this. "The two love commands" are from the writings of Moses.

If it's so clear, why were the Gentiles happy to wait around until the next Sabbath to hear Paul preach? It never ceases to amaze me how folks will take ambiguous passages to warrant neglecting that which they've always neglected and preserve their lifestyle, but when they apparently have clear...

This is a "straw man" argument. I made no mention whatsoever of refusing to accept the doctrine of new life in Christ, nor did I mention the need for sacrificing animals. By the way, Old Testament believers were saved the same way we are. I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, My soul shall be...

What does bound by "OT law" mean? I know what "bound by the other nine commandments" means. It doesn't mean shackled.

In neither verse (each of which uses a different Greek word for "next") is the word "between" or anything similar used in any English translation of the Bible. So are we to believe that God is allowing the entire English-speaking world to be in the dark about this passage? None of the roughly...

Or rationalization of a day that God never sanctified or made holy.
