The Sabbath gives me identity Let us begin at the beginning: "And on the seventh day God finished his work which he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had done. So God blessed the seventh day and hallowed it, because on it God rested from all his work which he...

I accepted Jesus as my personal Saviour at the age of 8. The Gospel had an overwhelming impact on me, and its power liberated me not only from what I considered great sins but also my fears and apprehensions. The forgiveness experience was so real that I did not hesitate to share Jesus with my...

What kind of cognitive dissonance concludes something like this from scriptures like this: "Remember the Sabbath, to keep it holy..." (Exodus 20:8) Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep His commandments, for this is the duty of all mankind...

"Others," meaning you, I suppose. It's not possible that you have formed a gospel in the shape of your own mind, is it?

The real question is why you conflate "warning" with "resentment." Sabbath-keepers generally feel an obligation to WARN those who dismiss the 4th commandment while acknowledging the other 9. It's really not rocket science. The notion that God pulled a fast one on us by inserting a temporary...

@GerhardEbersoehn I prepared quite a lengthy response to your 2 posts, but as I was finishing up, I thought to myself: "What's the point? It's not going to bear any good fruit. It'll probably just end up inviting more sinful derision to either myself or my brethren." And the work of...

How do you know what I want? I guess the Great and Powerful Oz has spoken. Sometimes I really wish you would get over yourself, GE. Quit pontificating. :)

Indeed, why?

Using a little sanctified imagination and glorifying God as Creator is called adding to or negating Scripture. Got it.

The great Jehovah had laid the foundations of the earth; He had dressed the whole world in the garb of beauty and had filled it with things useful to man; He had created all the wonders of the land and of the sea. In six days the great work of creation had been accomplished. And God “rested on...

Whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches others to do the same, will be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 5:19, NRSV. Any person who willfully breaks one commandment does...

Is this a myth? The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. (John 1:29) I don't believe that all are saved, but we've got to do something with this text, don't we?

How do you know the 2nd saga all occurred on the seventh day?

The notion that God always only means what He says to the person/people He is talking to at a moment in time is skewed reasoning, at best.

Many people, Christians and non-Christians alike, refer to the seventh-day Sabbath—the only biblical Sabbath—as the “Jewish Sabbath.” But is this an accurate label? We know that devout Jewish people have kept the seventh day of the week as the Sabbath for many centuries. But is there more to...

Though the Jews were indeed entrusted with God's memorial of Creation, the Sabbath was not made for the Jews alone but for all of mankind. Nearly all theologians, even those who keep Sunday, agree that the Bible is clear on this ... "The Sabbath was established originally in no special...

@GerhardEbersoehn Let the record show that this Sabbath-keeper believes fully in the complete substitutionary atonement of the LORD Jesus Christ, and that He must live out His life in us to correctly administer righteousness by faith. The power that actuates justification and sanctification...

I'm painfully aware of your cognitive dissonant OP. Congratulations.

Ding, Ding, Ding! We have a winner!
