If you have no hostility, then pay no mind to the pleading. :) The Scripture to which you refer is not a command. It is a declaration of liberty. Taken ultra-literally, do you actually think you could keep a magistrate from judging you on something based on this text? Do you think you could...

I think I've spent just about enough time pleading with folks not to be hostile toward that which God has blessed.

The Children of Israel were just that--childlike--and needed their instructions to address the wrong they were already accustomed to doing. Not so with the Edenic pair. All they needed to understand rest was an example of it--which they got in Genesis 2:2-3. The command not to eat of the tree...

No. If it is in the heart to disobey God's commands, there is no hope for regeneration.

@Curtis @JunChosen @post You can bring as much of the Bible against Itself as you like. If you only live by the parts that agree with your bias, you deceive yourself. The Bible has to be rightly divided. Scripture upon scripture, line upon line, here a little, there a little. The Bible is not...

Uh, no, they don't. The fact that you don't understand how theocracy works doesn't make the rest of us ignorant. You seem to declare a lot of maxims that aren't found anywhere in Scripture. All sin incurs a death sentence, even if ultimately transferred to Christ at Calvary. Successful...

To man Be The Glory if only the linguist can understand God's Word. Get wise to your elitism.

The Bible was written for the common man so, erm, Baloney! Harmony? Give me a break. More like Babylonian confusion.

The tables of the covenant are indeed the ten commandments. They are God's promise of what he will do in the hearts of men if they draw nigh unto Him. The old covenant is the words of the children of Israel claiming to be able to keep the commandments without a heart connection to Him. O that...

And if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he knows nothing yet as he ought to know. (1 Corinthians 8:2)

Where is this rigid, yet imaginary distinction made in the Bible? Where does the Apostle Paul make it? And aren't the Psalms and proverbs inspired? Where are they represented in the term "law and prophets?" Christ recognizes every word that proceeds from His Father's mouth as law. The word law...

Yet, strangely enough, God evidently pulled a fast one on us by placing a disposable command to keep His day holy right in the middle of His eternal moral code for human beings. Either that or He, in fact, put it right where it belongs.

Let's see just how serious I can be. For every text that obscurely hints a believer can disobey and live (after all, obedience is just "Judaizing"), you will find a hundred that say "obey and live"--"disobey and die." I can't stop those who want to play footsie with the devil. I wouldn't even...

Well, Ol' Barn's had enough of this sandbox for now.

Nice denunciation.

Don't you just love labels? Makes it so easy to insult fellow believers. :)

You got that right. :D

What's wrong with Leviticus? Not inspired enough?

We can never make ourselves worthy. We can only strive to conform to His will. And there is a difference. :)

In reality, you're the only one questioning anyone's salvation. :)
