    Colossians 2:14-16 - The Law That Was Against Us

    Most magnanimous. Historically it has always been Sunday keepers who judged Sabbath keepers as "legalists" etc etc, even heretics to be burnt. Yet no-one is judging here... Yet. Disagreeing on doctrine isn't judging. Judging is often the excuse used to avoid conviction. "Don't judge me,I can...

    Colossians 2:14-16 - The Law That Was Against Us

    What I perceive is taking place here is on your side, suspicion we are demanding obedience to be saved, and on our side, suspicion you think to obey to the minimum so long as you are saved. Perhaps we both have reasons to see each other through that lens... There was certainly a time when...

    Colossians 2:14-16 - The Law That Was Against Us

    Sure. Why didn't it "occur to you' that the scripture you quoted, KJV Romans 8:3 3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: Specifically details why the law cannot...

    Colossians 2:14-16 - The Law That Was Against Us

    About the cloth part, I agree, however we are still obligated not to mix the holy with the profane. Specific NT instructions exemplify this, for example with unequal marriages. The introduction of so called Sunday sacredness is another example that through tradition has become in some churches a...

    Colossians 2:14-16 - The Law That Was Against Us

    Oh please. You sound like a Democrat espousing tolerance and at the same time throwing a rope around a statue. Promoting love and at the same time accusing others of hate without any evidence is like mixing oil and water. Stop inventing stuff to give you grounds for complaint. For your own...

    I think it should be on the 31st September.

    Colossians 2:14-16 - The Law That Was Against Us

    I was responding to mailman's post...I did not see your link to a video. My response was to the 10 or so points he was quoting as McArthur's reasons for rejecting the Sabbath. Those points were as biblically weak as most responses one meets with online.

    Colossians 2:14-16 - The Law That Was Against Us

    If those are John McArthur's reasons for rejecting the authority of Jesus, then I've lost any resoect I had for him. I thought he was a Christian who at least tried to base his beliefs in scripture. But there are so many holes in his arguments above I could drive my bus through them. And to be...

    Colossians 2:14-16 - The Law That Was Against Us

    The scripture tells you when the law is weak... You quoted it... Then you say "it occurs to you etc etc? That it's weak because it's a law? And then in order to justify this "weakness" you invent a straw man that those who observe Sabbath are watching footy all day??? Like I said in a previous...

    Or....

    Your antagonism is unbecoming someone who claims God is in his side. And your antagonism has colored your understanding of what I was saying in my posts. Either read them again and get what I'm saying, or go away. Your fighting a battle here I'm not engaged in.

    Colossians 2:14-16 - The Law That Was Against Us

    Let us assume that your two Nations are actually the kingdom of God and the kingdom of Satan into which we were all born. What you are suggesting is that the laws of God's kingdom that He was introducing into a world steeped in idolatry and rebellion was only for one small favored segment. Were...

    Or....

    It isn't about what the church has done for you. It's what Jesus has done for you. And if "your people,", or whatever name you wish to be designated as, attempt to accomplish anything outside of Jesus you'll lose. You'll be making the same mistake the conservative right have been making these...

    Or....

    The captivity made no difference to God's overall plans... Messiah still came and great prophets ministered in captivity... Daniel, Ezekiel, Jeremiah, Amos. Israel learned some very important lessons perhaps later distorted by the leadership, but never again did Israel go into idolatry. Maybe...

    Was a Babylonian conquest good or bad for Israel?

    Colossians 2:14-16 - The Law That Was Against Us

    Mmm. How a Commandment becomes a helpful suggestion, one which we can carry out in our own time and at our own convenience.

    Or....

    I am not suggesting that either man is "God's man". And I recognise the plight and historical pain of indigenous and non indigenous people the world over. Yet in the midst of that pain and suffering, your people, and those indigenous in my homeland, brought to the world a wonderful legacy of...
