Thank you for participating. ;)

What an incredibly thoughtful post. Thank you, HIH. :)

Let Him that is without sin... Is the Lord Jesus into cop-outs? I think not.

Good stuff, M. :)

Where would the judgments on the other nine have to fall, if no one denies them?

Or, perhaps, the judging of judging others?

Exodus 20 8Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: 10But 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 cattle, nor thy...

I've always wondered why the predictable and common cry of "We are not under the law, but under grace" arises only when the 4th commandment is cited, and never in response to any of the other nine (9).

Gracious post. But again, I hesitate to second guess God. I don't mean to persist as if the 4th commandment ranked above the other 9, but there is no conclusive evidence from Scripture that the weekly day of rest was ever abolished. And if sanctity is what you're looking for as evidence for its...

Everyone is wrong about something.

Agreed, but it wasn't entrusted or promised to them in Scripture.

All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, (2 Timothy 3:16) When Paul wrote this, there was no New Testament (not that I think you wouldn't know that). Christ's magnification of the law did not...

This lecture/sermon had my attention from beginning to end and I confess that, to my knowledge, he said nary an erring word throughout. I was a bit surprised that the Holy Spirit only got a passing mention. But I especially enjoyed hearing from someone else that Christ is the only human being...

No one has greater empathy than God, so it would stand to reason that the Father suffered greatly during the passion of Christ, even though their normal connection was temporarily broken at the time. Also, Christ had to operate on faith that His mission would be successful. He had no test tube...

I missed this somehow, but I just noted it, and if you keep this up we're going to have to start a "marks's greatest hits" thread. Honestly, I don't mean to over-flatter, but this is good stuff. :)

Yeah, I get that a lot. But I've also noticed that folks who discard the ten commandments as obsolete, Israelite rules don't mind at all borrowing the new covenant from them. “Behold, the days are coming, says the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house...

The only way anyone has ever been saved is by the blood of Christ, even if unbeknownst to them. No man has ever kept the law perfectly, except for the man Christ Jesus. And perfection is what the law demands.

I have to say Amen, Sister.

I can't argue with that; the problem is people (especially religious folks) are prone to extremes, and I think the pendulum has swung too far into the other direction. Actual legalists are few and far between. There will always be people that respond well to regimentation but it's not the norm...
