We all connect the dots about many things in many ways....if we didn't we'd be wiping our backside and putting it back on the plate.....forgive the crude analogy. Joining the dots well differentiates between the fool and the wise man. Every preacher who delivers a sermon attempts to join the...

A passing comment here HIM.....You call it a Jewish Sabbath when in fact it was a Sabbath given to man well before any Jews existed. This needs sorting out otherwise you connect things in error.

I think it's joining the dots in favour of a God who desires intimate relationship with his creation.....not because he's obligated but because he is emotionally connected/involved with them.

Jesus was saying his judgement on the matter was superior to theirs (the religious accusers) He wasn't justifying any error in his disciples. He was exonerating his mates from the accusations of the religious tight shorts.

The day after A&E were created God put the next day aside....what for?....did he need rest.....was he who holds countless worlds and the whole created order throughout the Universe exhausted?.....I don't think so. I think he created it so that he could spend special time with them, for example...

The Sabbath and Marriage were instituted in Eden not as part of any moral Law ....these where instituted before Man fell. Let's take marriage....a commitment to love each other in a special personal way Let's take Sabbath....a day God committed to them so he could be with them in a special way...

I couldn't see any relevance to the question in post #92

The 10 Commandments are FOREVER did they exist prior to creation?

games and the like are distractions for no purpose other than to gratify the carnal man

translation has its challenges

'this generation'....he was referring to the generation that sees the signs he was talking about....not the generation he was speaking to 2000 years ago!

did you say there were free people?

Violence is the solution of the short sighted carnal man.....so short sighted in fact that they make a God in their own image. Did Jesus fight? of course he did ....but what were his weapons and how did he employ them? .....Jesus said, all who take the sword will die by the sword.....so we must...

there are lots of known tongues here flapping on about their excellent swimming skills while they drown and a few unknown tongues trying to deliver bouyancy rings to those who speak of being great swimmers.

yes, one for the foolish and one for those who realise they are foolish!

I s'pose its not the short sighted, culturally bounded, religiously trapped generous slathering of a sickly sweet ego?
