For instance: Just off the shore of one of the great lakes is an area that is prone to intermittent deep and shallow parts which has caused distress to swimmers and even loss of life on several occasions. The area is thus posted "NO SWIMMING." If someone had ventured into the area and gotten...

God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. (John 4:24) Without the letter of the law, wouldn't it be impossible to learn what is the spirit of the law? It seems to me that the letter declares a principle, whereas the spirit deals more with policy. :)

But if every day were the Sabbath, wouldn't that mean no one could eat since they couldn't ever work? I don't understand the spiritual meaning of the Sabbath. I've heard that Christ has taken the place of the Sabbath, but I can't find that clearly taught in the Bible. It would seem to me if a...

"Missing the mark" is a definition of sin provided by man-made lexicons, is it not? Wouldn't we, as Christians, be better served by considering the Bible's several descriptions of sin as being definitive, i.e. "transgression of the law," "whatsoever is not of faith," etc.?

I thought a paradox, by definition, was something hard to understand because of being seemingly contradictory.

Can you prove this from Scripture itself? Where does the Bible say this? Or this? Or this? These are some pretty bold claims. If you just want to spout them, that's one thing. But if your aim is to convince someone, you're going to need some hefty support.

Proverbs 2: 1My son, if you receive my words, And treasure my commands within you, 2So that you incline your ear to wisdom, And apply your heart to understanding; 3Yes, if you cry out for discernment, And lift up your voice for understanding, 4If you seek her as silver, And search for her as for...

Perhaps a paradox is the culprit.

Could this not mean law pertaining only to the priesthood? Seems reasonable enough.

Within the commandment itself, "work" is narrowly defined. But a study of the Levitical laws reveals that either priestly work on the Sabbath is acceptable or excused (which has far-reaching implications summed up in the declaration of Christ that is lawful to do good on the Sabbath--Matthew...

I thought Christ came to magnify the law (Isaiah 42:21) and fulfill it (Matthew 5:17). I don't understand all the resistance against keeping God's appointed (Hebrews 4:4) day of rest. The ever-growing number of theories designed to minimize it are also puzzling. Am I to understand that God...

If you fly long enough in one direction, you eventually come to where you started. Compasses and airplanes (especially fast ones) give strong evidence to this conclusion.

Excellent. Thank you for contributing. :)

The fact that He was resurrected does not change the fact that He died.

Our approaches to eschatology are worlds apart, I'm afraid. :)

Nevertheless

If someone starts "pressing buttons" we all lose.

I'm betting he will leave the White House on Jan 20, if not sooner. He seems to be trending toward breaking all of the traditions associated with transition.

All I can do is trust it (I use the free version). :D

The paradox here is that Jesus, Who is fully God, can rest and work at the same time without violating the definition of either. He could not have sinned; otherwise, He could not be, as the Bible says, "without sin" (Hebrews 9:28). The LORD GOD rested on the seventh day of creation week. Did...
