    Where does the Bible say...

    Conclusion: Aggressive defenders of Catholicism can't decide whether Scripture is enough to support correct doctrine or not. But they demonize those who don't agree with them, regardless.

    Who founded your church?

    The Seventh-day Adventist church was formed on May 21, 1863, in Battlecreek, Michigan by Joseph Bates and James White. Through intense history and Bible study, they had arrived at a number of conclusions for which they could find no organized body of believers, so they incorporated. As of 2015...

    Colossians 2:14-16 - The Law That Was Against Us

    I'm just a lowly seed-sower. Only the Holy Ghost can convict. Thank you for your participation. :)

    Who founded your church?

    I find it interesting that the Philadelphian church/age is the only one upon which Christ levels no criticism. Yay for the 2nd Great Awakening!!!

    I must say, that's pretty strange. I wonder where the interpreter is.

    The Fire That Consumes - Does Hell Burn Forever?

    I figured I might as well lay out my case at the outset. Full transparency, that kind of thing.

    I thought I was getting the last word. Pretty disingenuous of you, I must say.

    Colossians 2:14-16 - The Law That Was Against Us

    Don’t you see how this lends a tremendous new spiritual dimension to the keeping of the Sabbath? It memorializes our personal salvation experience. It stands as a blessed weekly reminder of the continual rest from sin that we may have through Christ. No wonder the Sabbath “remains” for the...

    Colossians 2:14-16 - The Law That Was Against Us

    PROOF THAT THE SABBATH REMAINS Although there is a wealth of proof that the Ten-Commandment law and the Sabbath were confirmed by an obedient New Testament Church, I would like to focus on one area of evidence that is often overlooked or misinterpreted. We find it in Hebrews 4, and it probably...

    Colossians 2:14-16 - The Law That Was Against Us

    Is there any validity to the argument that the Ten Commandments were all abolished at the cross, and then nine of them restored in the New Testament? This is a specious invention to attempt evasion of the fourth commandment. No Christian has ever found fault with nine of the commandments. Why...

    Colossians 2:14-16 - The Law That Was Against Us

    Perhaps we should ask right at this point, what is the significance of the tables of God’s law being placed inside the ark of the covenant?Remember that this spot was the most holy on the earth because it represented God’s throne. God had said, “there I will meet with thee, and I will commune...

    Colossians 2:14-16 - The Law That Was Against Us

    Now we can understand what Paul was referring to in Colossians when he wrote about meat and drink and sabbath days which are shadows. There were certain prescribed offerings for each of those yearly feast days, and they were shadows pointing to the future sacrifice of Jesus. But the Bible says...

    Colossians 2:14-16 - The Law That Was Against Us

    WHAT LAW WAS BLOTTED OUT? But let’s look closer at that text in Colossians 2:14-16 to get the real picture. After describing the “blotting out” and “nailing” of the ordinances, Paul wrote, “Let no man THEREFORE judge you in meat, or in drink.” The word “therefore” means “based on what has just...

    Colossians 2:14-16 - The Law That Was Against Us

    Can we find further confirmation that this later law was indeed the law of Moses? The answer rests in Galatians 3:19. “Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions till the seed should come to whom the promise was made ...” Here we have two significant facts set forth...

    Colossians 2:14-16 - The Law That Was Against Us

    The Mosaic Law is never equated with the eternal moral code which operated from the very beginning of human history. Although they were not written down until Mount Sinai, the Ten Commandments were understood and honored by the earliest patriarchs. Even Cain knew that it was a sin to kill...

    Colossians 2:14-16 - The Law That Was Against Us

    Interestingly enough, Paul spoke of the fifth commandment as being in effect when he wrote to the Ephesians. “Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. Honor thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise; That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live...

    Colossians 2:14-16 - The Law That Was Against Us

    Daniel was inspired to make the same careful distinction when he prayed for the desolated sanctuary of his scattered nation. “Yea, all Israel have transgressed thy law, even by departing, that they might not obey thy voice; therefore the curse is poured upon us, and the oath that is written in...

    Colossians 2:14-16 - The Law That Was Against Us

    There is a strange belief on the part of many that the great God-written law of the Ten Commandments was actually a part of the ceremonial law of Moses which contained scores of specific regulations. They do not see the decalogue as being distinct and totally unique because of its divine...
