Christ showed the men on the road to Emmaus in the Old Testament only all things pertaining to himself, and their hearts burned within them. How did He do that without the writings of the apostles? “The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me, Because He has anointed Me To preach the gospel to the poor...

You're welcome! It's as old as the hills, but it's one of my favorites! :)

And I care nothing for your so-called charges. You have your sense of ethics; I have mine. You have spoken. If anything condemns you, it may very well be your own words. I'm becoming less and less interested in your estimation of my character. You and I both know that yes-or-no questions can be...

Tick, tock; tick, tock; tick, tock. The clock ticked steadily and mercilessly. Only two hours before Sabbath would begin. Mary sighed as she surveyed the small apartment. The kids’ toys were still lying all around the living room; the kitchen was a mess; Sarah, their youngest, lay in bed with a...

The Sabbath is really all about love—love for the Creator and love for others—and all love relationships need quality time in order to survive, right? So it makes sense that family should factor in as a very important part of the Sabbath. The restful nature of this day creates the perfect...

The Gospel is not restricted to your favorite reiteration of it. I am not in the OSAS camp, either. Since you call my salvation into question as retaliation to Sabbath observance and witness, I can't see any point in responding to all your hostile questions, since it would only be seen as an...

I have been careful not to call your salvation into question. I have also avoided name-calling and direct insults. Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil: but if well, why smitest thou me? (John 18:23) Try not to use disjointed Scripture.

Only what the Bible says matters--not your or my rationalizing or twisting of Scripture. Peter warns of this, especially regarding the writings of Paul. And yet, you almost never hear anyone admit to not understanding any part of his work. I don't understand much of what he writes. :) Nonsense...

Heaven will welcome millions who never kept a single Sabbath. What has that to do with you and me today? Apology accepted, of course. :) Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. (Hebrews 13:8) The way you reason, one would think you don't know Scripture very well. Surely that...

You have a keen mind but your tone is very condescending. Welcome to the forum! :)

With Scripture: Luke 4 1) Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, left the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, 2) where for forty days he was tempted a by the devil. He ate nothing during those days, and at the end of them he was hungry. 3) The devil said to him, “If you are the Son...

Aight here--How you doin'?

Incomprehensible All this talk of accusation and condemnation is ridiculous. If the testimony of Scripture pricks your conscience, you need to take it up with Jesus. Otherwise there is nothing to talk about. I have said nothing to warrant your accusations. I merely testify. I have not once...

In your zeal to war against the Sabbath, you have directly contradicted Scripture: For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath. (Matthew 12:8)

Embracing the gospel and observing the Sabbath But is insistence on Sabbath observance—particularly the biblical seventh day—legalistic? Can biblical insistence on a particular lifestyle—compassion, love, going the second mile, the Beatitudes—be legalistic? The answer is yes and no and is de...

Sabbath points to eternal rest On Sabbath we cease all work, reaffirm our self-abandonment, come to God in total surrender, and enter into His rest. This entering into His rest is symbolic of entering into the eternal rest that Hebrews speaks about: "There remains a Sabbath rest for the people...

Sabbath provides fellowship Sabbath is also a day of fellowship and worship, when God's family comes together in an absolute sense of unworthiness before their Maker. Christians are reminded of their unity and equality in Christ. "Before God's throne," writes Ludwig Koehler, "there will hardly...

Sabbath reminds me God is my Redeemer Sabbath not only gives me identity, but reminds me that I am part of God's re deemed family. When we Christians recite the Ten Commandments, we normally be gin with the words "You shall have no other Gods before me" (Ex. 20:3). But the Jews do it...
