The world is filled with laws that do nothing, the world just made being social a crime, laws do nothing but condemn men, the world is filled with people who claim to keep the law, by we all know they cannot, for that was teh reason Christ came into this world. I guess people love hanging that noose around the necks of believers.The objective is not to prove anything to any human being regarding Commandment keeping.....the objective is to live healthy functional lives that glorify God not dysfunctional lives that live a pretence.
It is the Law that serves as a mirror. As Paul says, he would not have known what it was to covet unless the Law had pointed it out to him. Pretending the Law doesn't exist or is no longer relevant (whatever language one wants to use to convey the same meaning) is the epitome of dysfunction.
Holiness at its base is functionality.
The law is a schoolmaster to lead men to Christ; but after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster (Galatians 3:24-25).The objective is not to prove anything to any human being regarding Commandment keeping.....the objective is to live healthy functional lives that glorify God not dysfunctional lives that live a pretence.

If every thread that contains bickering is closed, the whole forum would be closed down.I agree all this bickering and name brings no glory to God, mind you very few posts do.

Mat 23:37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!

I don't envy your position as moderator, and my prayers are with you, H2S. It must get very tiring, like a mom with bickering kids. But I encourage the mods to err on the side of freedom of speech. Of course, certain types of speech should never be tolerated.I try to go through and delete or edit the worst ones....but it wears me out...I want to read something edifying and uplifting.

Freedom of speech is not prohibited but flaming, goading and attacking is against forum rules and that has to be dealt with. And when there is a report against a member then that takes even more priority to get things under control....otherwise it just escalates. Ok, nuff said...on to better things.I don't envy your position as moderator, and my prayers are with you, H2H. It must get very tiring, like a mom with bickering kids.

Upsetting people but that is there choice to get offended.Oh, for crying out loud, mjr, you are never guilty of bickering??
Right, I know that you need to deal with these problems. I just encourage you not to close threads.Freedom of speech is not prohibited but flaming, goading and attacking is against forum rules and that has to be dealt with.

God Bless!
Just confirmed a word my dad spoke. AmenAmen, brother....soon....very soon....the outpour of the Holy Spirit by Fire is coming! what a revival that will be!
lolUpsetting people but that is there choice to get offended.
We ALL mess up on this forum sometimes by saying things we shouldn't say to one another. Every single one of us. Are you saying that you never do this?Do you expect any less from christians????
In a sense all humanity is in Jesus just as all humanity is in Adam. All fell in Adam, all redeemed in Jesus the new representative of the human race.....after all, this is the good news isn't it? yes, good news not good advice!Only to those not in Him. God cannot judge a man twice for the same sin, either He has forgiven us or He has not, If He has not than Christs death was purely a con and fabrication and a lie, but men seem determind to be judged by there worthless works as if it brings them some honor.
gobbledy gook jbfI think that maybe you are just unable to understand what I am talking about.
The fact of the matter is that Jesus can violate the letter of the sabbath day law and still not be a sinner; because as High Priest according to the order of Melchizedec, He brought about a change in law (Hebrews 7:12) from the letter to the spirit (Romans 7:6). So then, the letter of the law does not condemn Him as a sinner even though He violated it.
And also, His coming as High Priest was not after a carnal commandment but after the power of an endless life (Hebrews 7:16).
In other words, Jesus was and is God and He was and is the Lord of the sabbath day; so His violation of the letter of that law did not condemn Him as a sinner since His endless life cannot be brought to an end by His violation of the letter of that law.
In a sense all humanity is in Jesus
Jesus paid for all mens sins 2000 yrs ago....not when they believed.
I take it you are either a Jehovah's Witness and don't want to believe what I'm saying because it means that Jesus claimed to be equal with God, in John 5:18; or else you are a 7th-day-adventist who has not yet come to the knowledge of salvation because you are still attempting to earn your salvation by the works of the law.gobbledy gook jbf
You should not you would be speaking of yourself.Those who denigrate God's Commandments do so because they desire to break them while appearing to honour him.
Need I use the word 'hypocrisy'? ....it's the way of the world; the image is relished but the reality is shunned. The 'religious' system specialises in it.
