More very good stuff, John. :cool:

Very good stuff, my friend. :)

Well, I hate to break it to you, my friend, but it is not at all clear to about 20,000,000 (and growing more rapidly than any denomination) people. Also, the number "613" is over-used and fairly meaningless. 613 commandments - Wikipedia - Dissent and difficulties

I'm not so glad to see that eternal torment seems to be the thrust of your message (even in your signature). Sad :(

Congratulations on retaining your sanity while successfully pigeon-holing 3 of your fellow Christians. It's odd that you only seem comfortable disagreeing with labels and not ideas. "Can anything good come out of Nazareth?" By the way, the word(s) you're looking for are/is...

Well, that's because the real question, as always, is not "What are you talking about," but "What are you," so I know what to call you and where to go to copy-and-paste a response to what "you people" always say. Other such popular, labeling questions include "Are you a Christian Patriot or are...

You seem to be getting out ad hominem. :)

You will doubtless be accused of such.

Let me assure you: YOU WILL NEVER GET ANYWHERE WITH HIM. I think he would really rather die than be part of a profitable discussion. I flipped the -ignore- switch off for him temporarily, because it looked like you were arguing with no one but, yeah, he will drive you stark raving mad if you let...

Within the framework of this statement, would you say that any other of the ten commandments could be viably inserted where you have placed "the Sabbath?"

Absolutely agreed, dear lady. However, I don't need to tell you that while the ritual observances of the old covenant are no longer required, there is still much to learn from the record of them, how they illustrate the intricacy of redemption as administered by Christ, and how Israel related to...

... Only if you believe that in the massively capacitous mind of Paul "under the law" could mean only one thing.
