Hello
@GerhardEbersoehn ,
It is not the Scripture that I have quoted that you object to I am sure: for it is the Word of God from Colossians: but it is my use of it on this occassion. So I will leave it with you and let God be the arbiter in regard to the subject of the keeping of the Sabbath day.
You feel strongly about this, and you love the Lord, so I will leave you in His loving care. Forgive me for being the cause of offense to you.
In Christ Jesus
Chris
First, you have not offended me. Please accept you have not. On the contrary, you (delightfully) surprised me beyond measure (as I have told you) with the COURAGE AND HONESTY OF YOUR OWN (novel and unique and) CHALLENGING conviction and confession of faith. And I thanked you for it and for having STATED it before I replied anything else.
Now I do <feel very strongly> about Colossians 2, its usual 'translation' in verses 14 to 16 AND, further.
Again I have written more than everybody before me on this Scripture, and rolling over for laughter at my audacity for saying, will change nothing of the truth of the fact.
I am obliged to inform you something which you definitely do not know yet about this 'translation' with its uncountable variations on the same string, What you read, reading these variations, are only variations on the SDA string in the major key of SDA bias and ignorance, and play so in the hands of the legalists, not into the gracious bonds wherein and wherewith the Lord Jesus Christ set us FREE.
To explain. I present to you the most exact LITERAL translation there can be, that, by myself, which brought upon me the scorn, jesting and unmingled wrath and abuse of the Christian world of learning, but which never for half a century of bogus Bible translations, produced as much as one linguistic, semantic, grammatical or syntactical contra-indication EVER.
To begin with, my first book on Colossians in English and placed on Internet,
