So, you agree that Christians may 1) worship Satan 2) engage in idolatry 3) blaspheme 4) work on the Sabbath 5) dishonor parents 6) murder 7) commit adultery 8) steal 9) lie 10) covet

Got it.

A fair and truthful warning!

The low life tries to put words in other people's mouth. Nothing new for scum.

A general statement to Judaizers that say Christians should observe the Sabbath or any Old Testament Law or Commandment. Just say no to Judaizing. Christ said it best “You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape being condemned to hell?

What they say makes no sense…..They never describe how they “keep” the Sabbath…or the Commandments or the 613 Mosaic Laws. Most of their mindless rhetoric sounds as if they are picking some parts to observe and ignoring other parts. Are they going to keep it “kind of” setting their own rules over and above the Judaism and Christianity and even God? Do they have some fetish about selling their daughters as sex slaves or having sex with children themselves? Jewish men liked their brides “fresh” meaning virgin and taking them before they started menstruating.

Observe the Sabbath in accordance with what? To keep the Sabbath has a meaning…. Believe it or not words mean things in the scriptures! There are rules regarding the Sabbath, rules that require execution if they are broken. Same thing for the Old Testament Commandments and Laws. And if you do not execute the offender you are just as guilty as the one that broke the rules. Are they going to kill people? There is no half in the Old Covenant and half in the New Covenant or any combination thereof. This belief is not Judaism and it is not Christian. The picking and choosing of what to keep and what to ignore is one of the worst sins in the Old Testament. The 613 Mosaic Laws have Commandments, ordinances, and statutes, but they are all Mosaic Laws and cannot be separated, you cannot pick and choose what you want to obey and what you want to ignore. And scriptures say if you break one, you break them all.

They are basically violating both religions and preaching a third religion. The people that do this, are in “no man’s land” they are not in the Old Covenant with God nor in the New Covenant with God, they have violated both. Separated from Christ and have fallen from Grace and are Cursed by God. That is how the scriptures put it. The Apostle Paul struggled with Judaizers during his ministry. The ruling at the council in Jerusalem stated that none of this was required.

The apostles and elders, your brothers, To the Gentile believers in Antioch, Syria and Cilicia:
Greetings.
24 We have heard that some went out from us without our authorization and disturbed you, troubling your minds by what they said. 25 So we all agreed to choose some men and send them to you with our dear friends Barnabas and Paul— 26 men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. 27 Therefore we are sending Judas and Silas to confirm by word of mouth what we are writing. 28 It seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us not to burden you with anything beyond the following requirements: 29 You are to abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals and from sexual immorality. You will do well to avoid these things. Farewell. Acts 15:24-29 So it is that no Old Testament Law or Commandment pertains to Chrisitans, none of them.

Is there a way to observe the sixth day as respect to Yahweh? The New Testament does not describe such a thing. Christians show respect and worship the Trinity on the Lord’s Day…Sunday. But when you throw in the word Sabbath….that pulls in a whole lot of Old Testament Laws….strict Laws. They would have to have no respect for the Old Covenant nor the New Covenant, just wing it and make up their own religion…..a personal religion that would probably land them in Hell…..but if they preach it, they are back to being separated from Christ….falling from Grace….and cursed of God. It all equates to Hell bound.

So thank you for activating the copy and paste function. If you want to see it again, just do the same stupid thing again and you will get it again.

You are so sweet and everything is going to be OK. I wish you a good time and this is your pat on the back on your way to Hell. Don’t forget the barbeque sauce….you are going to need it.

Since you insist Christians can ignore the Ten Commandments, do you recommend a particular god to have before the God of the Ten Commandments?

He was very quiet at that time. I remember finally questioning whether God even existed. That all changed at the beginning of 1977. But it was more like Thomas than those who believe without evidence. God revealed Himself to me. First with one word that I heard. Then a vision. And then 8 sentences. It was then I repented with all my heart and got a double portion of His Spirit, and all the gifts of the Spirit, except two in 1 Cor. 12, and more since 1977.
During the Dark Ages, contemporaries Luther and Loyola were tortured in soul to know they were accepted of God. In the end, Luther chose to place himself on complete dependence on the promises of God, while Loyola held out in dissatisfaction, demanding a "supernatural" confirmation.

Supernatural experiences came, but they weren't from God. His "Spiritual Exercises of Loyola" are practices lifted straight out the Eastern mysticism handbook: contemplative prayer, spiritual formation, breath prayers, spiritual visualization, mind-numb meditation, etc.

These demonic practices have infiltrated Protestantism via the Alpha Course which incorporates principles that are identical to catholicism and "doesn't contain anything that is contrary to catholic doctrine" (Alpha News, July 1997) whereby Christians are being softened up to accept the great ecumenical return to the mother church. Former Alpha president Gumbel (of course lol) admitted that sections of the Course were carefully scripted to be used by Roman catholics and evangelicals alike.

God is Light and in Him is no darkness at all, so know this, the devil cannot slip anything by Him as long as I am abiding in Him.

BTW, what did Loyola teach, and did he start a denomination like Luther did?

Do you have a switch to turn your brain on?
Look, when it comes to your idea that the Ten Commandments don't pertain to the Christian, I can't help it if logical progression leads any who foolishly embrace it to spiritual regression.

He was a catholic and a military man who founded the Jesuit Order, the worst organization to ever grace the topside of the earth. The Order presents itself as harmless, humble assembly of Christ followers that seek to do the will of God, but underneath a thin veneer of piety lies unparallelled evil. The papal antichrist controls world governments via a network of secret societies, including Zionism's "B'nai B'rith".

Though it is vehemently denied by catholics, ex-Jesuits confirm the authenticity of "The Jesuit Oath":

You have no logical progression.....you have no scripture in the New Covenant that says Christians should obey any Commandment or Law in the Old Testament....you have a fantasy religion....separate from Judaism and Christianity. It only exists between your ears. Pack the barbeque sauce because you are going to need it! SIZZLE SIZZLE FOR ETERNITY.

Nope…..it’s the difference between a route and a destination…..if the route is set, there is only one way to the destination which does not allow for unexpected roadblocks…..if the destination is set, then the route taken can by-pass the roadblocks by taking an alternative route.
Not the same at all….the destination is what is predetermine….not the way to get there.
Unfortunately,I would say that is our ego that leads us to affirm we are in control of the journey.

God does not say that.

We may think we plan the journey. However when God set the starting point and the end,it is God who sets our steps to arrive where God intended.

Canada's gun ban does not pertain to you - go ahead and buy that gun.
China's "two kids only" law does not pertain to you - have all the kids you want.
Singapore's ban on chewing gum does not pertain to you - chew 'til your heart's content

Can you see how ridiculous it is to say, "the Ten Commandments do not pertain to the Christian" - and how cowardly it is to say it but refuse to publicly declare we may live contrary to them?

You misunderstand......I am not talking about our own individual journey as a Christian, although we can seek God’s guidance through our troubles....to obey Christ’s teachings in all that we do.
I was taking about God’s original purpose for the human race....the reason why he created us to live on this lonely planet in a vast uninhabited Universe, in the first place.
His purpose will go ahead and it will end in success because he hasn’t planned the route, only the destination.

The reason why he has had to adjust his course at times is because he created all his intelligent children with free will. He acted only once with their creation.....and since then he has been reacting to their use and abuse of free will, to teach us lessons about the value of obedience, whilst keeping his original purpose on course and protecting the gift of free will in the process.

Well Aunty, at Creation He made the Sabbath for man and that has not change, only the 'tradition' of man has come in.

Strangely, no one in the Bible is said to have observed a Sabbath till God gave Israel his law. Moses was the first one….so Adam was not instructed to hold a Sabbath observance….nor Noah…nor Abraham…..nor Elijah.

The Sabbath mentioned by God at creation is the principle behind the weekly Sabbath given to the Jews, but they are two completely different things. The 7th “day” of creation has not yet ended. Jesus is Lord of the Sabbath because it is the 1000 year rulership of his Kingdom that brings the 7th day to its successful conclusion. At the end of each creative day, God declared his satisfaction with his progress thus far…..there is no declaration for the conclusion of the 7th day because it is still running.

The law, along with its Sabbath, was given only to Jews…it was not binding on Gentiles.
There is no Sabbath law for Christians ever commanded…..how do you explain that?

Incorrect. Read the scripture carefully...
KJV Genesis 2:1-3
1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.

When did Jesus bless, sanctify, and make holy the Sabbath?

1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.

When did Jesus bless, sanctify, and make holy the Sabbath?

Genesis 1:31And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day. Exodus 20:9Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: 10But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: 11For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

"Six days shalt thou labour".
WHY shalt thou labour six days?
BECAUSE:
"God saw EVERY THING that He had made = finished in SIX days."
"BECAUSE IN SIX DAYS the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, AND ALL that in them is".
"THUS IN SIX DAYS were / HAD BEEN finished, the heavens and the earth AND, ALL the host of them."
"Wherefore / Then because having HAD FINISHED IN SIX DAYS heaven and earth, the sea, AND ALL that in them is, the LORD blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it."

When did God bless, sanctify, and make holy the Sabbath?
AFTER THAT HE IN SIX DAYS HAD FINISHED the heavens and the earth AND, ALL the host of them.

God in Jesus Christ is that Blessing He blessed the Seventh Day with;
God in Jesus Christ is that Holiness He honoured the Seventh Day with;
God in Jesus Christ is that End He on the Seventh Day finished with;
And above all and besides all that God in the six days before of his creating had made and done,
"God then" because of Jesus Christ "on the Seventh Day RESTED".
