    Are they turning to God or is their memories of the temple, aka the wall, their idol?

    Bible alone!

    KJV Isaiah 55:6-11 6 Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: 7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. 8 For my...

    Bible alone!

    I agree. But tradition that contradicts and opposes scripture is not apostolic, it is of man's devising. By the same Spirit that inspired scripture. By the same Spirit that inspired scripture Keep it out of the hands of Catholic apologists and self proclaimed textual critics. The same Spirit...

    Strange Happenings and Unusual Occurrences

    In your area I would venture that a full orchestra of frogs suggests either that there are no snakes, (I don't really believe that) or that there are so many frogs the orchestra's numbers are readily repleted without any loss of sound quality?

    Resisting Temptation

    I didn't mention the word willpower, and not did the author I quoted. The strength to resist, the strength to turn away, even run, is based on relationship.

    Resisting Temptation

    In his book on the life of Joseph, and in particular Joseph's rejection of Potiphar's wife, Larry Lichtenwalter writes: Joseph sees more than just Potiphar's enchanting wife~he recognizes Potiphar and God standing there. Because he sees more~because he perceives two valued relationships that...

    Wars and Rumors

    40 minutes of truth....40 minutes of heartache...40 minutes of education....making Jesus' words "ye cannot love God and mammon" all the more poignant; and the angel's call "to come out of her my people" (Revel 18:1-5) all the more urgent. The world's system of governance- political, financial...

    Bible alone!

    KJV Mark 7:7-13 7 Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. 8 For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. 9 And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the...

    New Zealand.

    Lol. All my life I swore black and blue that I would never set as much as a little toe on Australian soil. Thing is though I forgot to teach my kids this morsel of wisdom. They came here first and demandedi join them. That was 5 years ago. And I love it here. But I'm still a kiwi.

    Speaking of Australian pastimes, here's a wee collection of freeze frames from a video of a fearless young lass with a couple of examples of Australian fauna...

    New Zealand.

    Oh, and @Jay, we dunt call our boots Wellingtons. You really do have to learn the language. They are gumboots. We even have gumboot throwing competitions. Nor do we wear 'flip-flops"... And most certainly not thongs, at least not on our feet. They are called jandals. And no, we don't have thong...

    New Zealand.

    I used to be Brakelite as you may be aware, and therefore didn't get the notifications for these. I think you stole that from a former NZ prime minister, Robert Muldoon. He ruled the kingdom of Aotearoa in the 70s and early 80s, was responsible for a number of highly controversial decisions...

    The 10 Commandments are FOREVER

    Accusation? Barney accusing someone of something? Surely you jest.

    The 10 Commandments are FOREVER

    It becomes a straw man when applied to those who don't warrant it.

    The 10 Commandments are FOREVER

    Seriously? You've been asking why we have to keep a commandment? LOL.

    The 10 Commandments are FOREVER

    And how long have God's servants been speaking to you regarding the 4th Commandment and you have continued to reject their counsel? They have shown you from scripture the truth, yet you rely on your own wisdom contradicting scripture. If you already reject scripture in support of Sabbath...

    The 10 Commandments are FOREVER

    But you still think Sabbath observance is a "work" intended as an adjunct to Christ's sacrifice as you suggested by quoting KJV Ephesians 2:8-9 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.??

    The 10 Commandments are FOREVER

    You are, without any reference or acknowledgement to our own testimony, saying that because we observe and keep the 4th commandment, our motivation for doing so it's in order to be justified. Your argument applies only to those who are seeking to be justified by their obedience. What evidence do...
