I never did ski in the SI. Where I did ski was also where I surfed. Could see the mountain from the water... And my kitchen window. According to geological experts this mountain is the most likely to explode in our life time of all the volcanoes in NZ.

Here's a photo of a recent Catholic convert being baptized. Glad God has a sense of humor.

Father, thank you for Willie, for his love for you and the wonderful contribution he makes to this forum. Please let him not be gone for long, we will miss him. And Father, you know how difficult this must be for Mrs Willie, so I ask your blessing to be upon her also. Grant her strength and a...

You still can't get away from your legalist approach to the Sabbath. I don't keep the Sabbath because it's a commandment (even though it is, and you know full well that none of the commandments were abrogated at any time... Murder is still murder... Theft is still theft... Adultery is still...

Isaiah 56:1-7—Thus says the Lord: “Keep justice, and do righteousness, for My salvation is about to come, and My righteousness to be revealed. Blessed is the man who does this, and the son of man who lays hold on it; who keeps from defiling the Sabbath, and keeps his hand from doing any evil.”...

Scripture intentionally and repeatedly speaks of salvation in creation language: 2 Corinthians 4:6, NIV—For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ. Ephesians...

It is God’s weekly reminder to us that our salvation is 100% the gift of His grace, totally His accomplishment through Christ and not ours, to be received into our lives by faith alone. As such the Sabbath guards us against legalism and self-dependence and lodges all our hope and trust in Jesus...

Either you didn't read the post you quoted, or you are becoming like BoL and refuse to believe my testimony. Next you'll be saying I'm lying.

Hold on a second... You don't think God wanted a holy people through the old covenant? When was the last time you read Genesis,? Good made the day holy, calling it Sabbath. When did He undo that? The day isn't worshipped. According to who? And you know this how?

It can't be pride. Observing the Sabbath the way Good intended and the way He set it up in the beginning negates pride. Think about it. Adam and Eve are standing there looking about them wondering where they are, what they are, and where they came from. This is in the very last part of the sixth...

A closer examination of that meeting in Acts reveals it is in actuality what we would today call Saturday night... But yes, in biblical context, then the first day. What I see likely is that the Christians meet as was their custom on Sabbath, with Paul the likely preacher, with Paul departing...

Except Sunday isn't the day God sanctified and made holy. Sabbath is a relational appointment. Not that we don't meet with God at any other time, but the Sabbath is special... Unique. A day God set aside specifically to spend with His people. And God doesn't change, and He hasn't changed His day.

And I would suggest that the reason Paul stipulated the first day of the week was not because this day was suddenly a holy day to be observed ( as if collecting the offering made it holy) but because they still observed the 7th day Sabbath and didn't work. They observed the day according to...

Well, first I'm only having a conversation here and if you are comfortable with everything you are doing and you believe this is what Jesus accepts, them go ahead. By the way, I do not identify as Evangelical. And I was Catholic, so I understand much more than you realise. I have a question. If...

Q. What is the Third Commandment? ( Remember they renumbered! ) A. The third Commandment is: Remember thour keep holy the Sabbath day. Q. Which is the Sabbath day? A. Saturday is the Sabbath day. Q. Why do we observe Sunday instead of Saturday? A. We observe Sunday instead of Saturday because...

What's not to like? Delighting oneself in his Savior is a blessing is it not? Spending a day at full rest to delight in God and enjoy His company... What's not to like, love, about that? No distractions. No other cares. Just a true Sabbath rest. Wonderful,! Why be so critical of something you...

I cannot find any translation or version suggesting that the collection is to be set aside on Sabbath. Each one I found said first day of the week... Sunday... First day....Not Sabbath...7th day.

So what Jesus said was given for mankind as a gift, you say, nah, does nothing for anyone. You sure about that?

How do you know?

Seems so strange that something Jesus said was given to man as a gift, is described by so many of His professed people to be a burden.
