Forgiven.

I'm gagging on all that.

Which version of the 'trinity' do that 98% accept? From my observation on this board, a small microcosm it must be admitted, there are about 3 versions of the trinity, and as many versions of something else, all equally shared and divided among the members. In fact, I think if you asked each...

Aaah. At last you are beginning to see. Absolutely we need Jesus. In our own strength we can do nothing. But in Him, all things are possible. Even obedience to God's ten commandments. Although from your past posts it appears you don't believe this.

Have you ever read this... KJV Hebrews 5:9 9 And being made perfect, He (Jesus) became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him. What do you make of that in the context of the just shall live by faith?

That's God's business, not yours, or mine. Our work is to place ourselves in a position whereby God can accomplish that. Our work is to believe it's possible. Otherwise it will never happen. Remember, we are saved by faith... What we believe... Not by our performance. Do you believe it is...

I wasn't intimating you were Catholic. But your trust and reference to the ECFs is very Catholic, and in particular your claim that the bibles put together under Constantine's sponsorship is somehow a great historical signpost that requires our devotion to it's designers is also very Catholic...

On that premise then we can make anything up and claim... Jesus taught it but no-one wrote it down. Whoever of the Christian faith who began to set aside Sunday as a holy day I am sure did so having the best intentions. But they did not do so as a result of any instruction or example by the...

Who do you think gave Moses the tablets of stone on Sinai?

“Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon. And he exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence, and causes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed”...

Very Catholic of you. But the history you think supports your post is somewhat different. The Catholic Church, under the auspices and sponsorship of Constantine certainly put together a Bible, 50 copies in fact. But are we to suppose that the hundreds of thousands of believers, from Britain to...

I think this is close. I liken it to a traffic officer issuing you with a ticket. He comes "in the name of the law". Behind him he has all the authority of government to carry out those duties to which he has been lawfully given. The centurion believed Jesus, recognizing that Jesus was lawfully...

KJV John 1:8-9 8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. 9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.:D

I cited Jesus. Whatever is needful... To keep the day holy... How you do that...Is according to your own conscience. How you live your life and honor God and obey His commandments is not up to me to explain to you. But I can remind you of the scripture that declared the day as being holy...

You sound like the Accuser. When Jesus met the demoniac among the gravestones I can imagine all the disciples hightailing it outa there and leaving Jesus standing on His own. So what happened? The Word was spoken and the man freed. Sat down right there and then and in his right mind. Doesn't...

KJV Exodus 20:8-11 8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: 10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy...

If you are quoting this guy and using his writings as your benchmark for Christian faith and practise, you have already taken the first bold steps into apostasy, whether or not you keep Sunday.

On whose and on what authority did they base this change? Even if you have evidence that the apostles themselves changed the day, on what authority did would they offer in support?

Seldom does one read such blatant desperation in order to defend the indefensible. Legalistic? Is abstaining from adultery legalistic? Noah was commanded to build a boat in order to be saved. He built that boat, and was saved. He was saved by grace, but according to your theological reasoning...

Yes exactly. And if in your perusal of scripture, you happen to be reading Exodus 20 and discover a detail therein that reflects your deficiency in your loving of God and neighbor, what do you do to rectify that which God through His word has pointed out?
