Or not.

What is the right amount and frequency of reading and praying, in your opinion?

It sounds like He already is.

Well, at least we have your opinion on record. Thanks. :)

A pleasing fable indeed, well-suited to please the carnal, sin-loving heart. What all can we get away with and still squeeze through the pearly gates? Nowhere in the Bible are the ten commandments called a "ministry" of anything. 2Corinthians 3 was never interpreted the way it is today before...

Are the Gospel writers more inspired than those who wrote epistles, prophecies, and the Torah? Did Christ specifically condemn idolatry? If not, is it ok, then?

Convincing is The Holy Spirit's job. We're just seed-sowers. :)

Oh! The old ............

A sweeping generalization that probably isn't true. I suspect that you have been edified by Adventists you didn't know were Adventists. I know I have. Just as I have been edified by Catholics, Lutherans, Methodists, etc.

Which makes every act of love we do possible, however.

It won't establish it, either. Where in the scriptures are we instructed to ask why in this regard? Human rationalization. This is code for "Here come the vagueries." No mental gymnastics are required to simply obey God and keep the Sabbath holy. To make a case for Sunday sacredness, however...

What was I thinking?

I assume nothing. Except that you meant what you plainly said. Who said you did? And what is the "law of sin?" Sure that's all you have done. You sound like you've got it all figured out. It's easy to see that a discussion with you is going to be lovely and enriching.

Ding, ding!!! We have a winner!!! :);):cool::D

Why be insulting?

Thanks for twisting my words and straightening me out. :rolleyes:

Sex outside of marriage is a sin. Situational ethics is the oldest deception in the book. "You shall not surely die." You'll become wise instead. Worked out great for us, didn't it?
