seems to me that the issue hangs on the meaning of Fulfilled few things are less edifying that arguing over definitions, imo my thinking at this time is Let everyone fully persuaded in their mind
No need to be confused Dan,

If you have no LAW then you have no SIN. If you have no SIN then you have no need of a Saviour. If you have no need of a Saviour then you have no salvation. If you have no salvation then you a lost because you are still in your SINS.

God's LAW shows us that we are all SINNERS in need of a Savior. It is what God uses to lead us to the Saviour. It gives us a KNOWLEDGE of what SIN and RIGHTEOUSNESS are (Romans 3:20; Ps 119:172). By God's LAW we are all condemned as sinners in need of s Saviour. God's LAW leads us t leads us to Jesus who can save us from our SINS (Romans 3:19; John 3:16).

God's Word is very clear. If the interpretation of God's Word for fulfilled means that God's LAW is no longer required why would Jesus and alll the apostles teach in the new testament to OBEY it through Faith and why does the book of Revelation describe God's siants as keeping all the Commandments of God (Rev 12:17; 14:12)?

WHAT DID JESUS AND THE APOSTLES TEACH ABOUT GOD’S LAW

(the scriptures below are no where near exhaustive)

Jesus taught the 10 commandments…..


1. Jesus kept God’s Law (10 commandments) and said the Law and the prophets would not pass away (Matt 5:17-18)
2. Jesus taught others to follow the 10 commandments (Mark 10:17-21)
3. Jesus taught that Love is the fulfilling (doing) of God’s Law (10 commandments Matt 22:36-40)
4. If we break God’s Law by following man-made traditions we are not following God (Matt 15:3-9)
5. Jesus says if we commit sin we are a servant of sin and he has come to free us from sin (John 8:32-36)
6. Jesus taught if you love God you will keep God’s Law and abide in His Love (John 14:15; 15:10

10. God's Law gives us a knowledge of what sin is (Rom 3:20; 7:7)
11. The penalty of breaking God's Law without Jesus is death (Rom 6:23)
12. If we break God's Law we dishonor God (Rom 2:23)

3. We should purify ourselves as Jesus is pure (1 John 3:3)
4. Sin is the breaking of God’s 10 commandments (1 John 3:4)
5. Whoever is abiding in Christ does not commit sin (1 John 3:6; John 15:4-10)
6. If you are in unrepentant sin you have not seen Jesus or know him (1 John 3:6)
7. John warns us that only those that are obedience to God’s Law are his true followers (1 John 3:7)
8. If someone is committing unrepentant sin they are following the devil and not God (1 John 3:7)
9. If you are born of God and abiding in him you will not commit sin (1 John 3:9; 1 John 3:6; John 15:4-10

4. Jesus is your example who did no sin (1 Pet 2:21-22)
5. Cease from sin and do not live in the flesh (1 Pet 4:1-3)

7. God has given us his precious promises and as we believe them God will grant us his divine power to live a life of Godliness (obedience to God’s Law; 2 Pet 1:2-4)

10 God is not willing that any should perish but that everyone should come to repentance and turn away from sin to follow God’s 10 commandments because those that do not will receive the judgements of God (2 Pet 3:5-14)

What did Jesus and the Apostles teach about the Sabbath in the New Testament?

1. It is lawful to do good on the Sabbath (Matt 12:1-8; 10-12; 24:20; Mark 3:1-5; Luke 6:1-10; 13:14-16; 14:1-5; John 7:22-23; 9:14; Mark 1:21; Mark 6:2; Luke 4:16; 31; Luke 14:1; 23:56)
2. Jesus made the Sabbath for all mankind (Hebrews 1:2; John 1:1-3; 14; Ephesians 3:9; Colossians 1:16-17; Mark 2:27)
3. Jesus is Lord of the Sabbath (Mark 2:28)
4. If you do not believe and follow God you cannot enter His Sabbath rest (Hebrews 4)
5. It is one of God’s 10 commandments we break it we are guilty or breaking all (James 2:8-12)
6. Breaking it is sin (1 John 3:4)
7. God’s true followers keep it Holy as God commanded (Rev 14:12; Rev 22:14; Eze 20:20)
8. Jesus is our example and he kept the Sabbath (Matt 12:1-8; 10-12; 24:20; Mark 3:1-5; Luke 6:1-10; 13:14-16; 14:1-5; John 7:22-23; 9:14; Mark 1:21; Mark 6:2; Luke 4:16; 31; Luke 14:1; 23:56; John 2:6; Matt 16:24; 1 Cor 11:1; Eph 5:1-21; Pet 2:20-22)
9. The Apostle kept the Sabbath (Acts 13:14; 13:27; 13:44; 15:21; 16:13; 17:2; 18:4; Rev 1:10)

...............

God's 4th commandment is one of the ten (Exodus 20:8-11) If we knowingly break it when God asks us not to we stand guilty before God of committing sin (James 2:8-12). If we do not seek him in repentance and forgiveness we are in danger of the Judgement (Hebrews 10:26-27)

Sunday worship is a tradition and teaching of man that has lead many to break the commandments of God. Jesus says that if we follow the traditions of man that break the commandments of God we are not following God (Matthew 15:3-9)


There is not one scripture in all of God's Word that says that God's 4th Commandment is now ABOLISHED and we are now commanded to KEEP Sunday as a Holy day.

Who should we follow the teachings and traditions of men or the Word of God? Who should we believe the Words of men or the Word of God?

In times of ignorance God winks at but now ,<when a KNOWLEDGE of the truth has come> calls all men everywhere to REPENT (FOLLOW) (Acts 17:30-31).

I believe all with honest heart who hear God's Word and view this thread will see who is in error and who is not and who follows God's Word and who does not and who follow the tradtions of men over the Word of God and who does not. Only God's Word is true and we should BELIEVE and FOLLOW it. SIN will keep all who knowingly continue in it OUT of God's KINGDOM.
This I can agree with!

I am sure anyone lead by the Holy Spirit will quickly reject Ellen's attempt to get attention.

2 Peter 1:20-21
20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
KJV

Charles Russel (Jehovah's Witnesses), Joseph Smith (Mormonism), Ellen G White (7th day Adventism) & Mary Baker Eddy) (Christian Science) were all early 19th century founders of cults. They and their teachings should be rejected by all who are seeking truth.

Anyone who is lead of the Spirit of God will follow the Word of God because it is written; He who God has sent speaks the words of God: for God gives not the Spirit by measure to him (John 3:34).

It is very clear who God's people are. They do not speak their own words as you do. God's people point all to Jesus (the Word of God).

Those who are still in their SINS do not KNOW him who is calling them in LOVE to LOVE another.

Those that are still in their SINS do not have the Holy Spirit because God's Spirit is HOLY as it is written...

And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God has given to them that obey him (Acts 5:32).

Romans 3
4
God forbid: yes, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That you might be justified in your sayings, and might overcome when you are judged.

Daniel 7 25 is speaking of a kingdom. unless you think one of us is a kingdom, then this does not apply. been a while, but, another Hebrew roots fail.

1 John 2
3,
And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
4, He that said, I know him, and keeps not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

Who should we believe you or God? ONLY God's Word is true and we should BELIEVE and FOLLOW him who calls us in LOVE to LOVE another.

SIN will keep all who KNOWINGLY practice it OUT of God's KINGDOM.

You lamp has indeed gone out as you have closed your eyes to see and your ears to hear the small voice behind you saying this is the way walk ye in it.

except for the inconvenient fact that John was not referring to Sabbath, no matter how many verses you attempt to attach to 1st John 3, John said what the commands he was referring to were. Sabbath was not one.

Gods 4th Commandment is indeed one of the 10 Commandments without it there would not be 10 Commandmants. SIN is the transgression or breaking any of God's Commandments...

1 John 3:4 Whoever commits sin transgresses also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

James 2
8,
If you fulfill the royal law according to the scripture, You shall love your neighbor as yourself, you do well:
9, But if you have respect to persons, you commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.
10, For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
11, For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if you commit no adultery, yet if you kill, you are become a transgressor of the law.
12, So speak you, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.

You testify of yourself and your testimony is not true because it disagrees with God's Word. Your lamp has indeed gone out and you do not KNOW him because you do not follow him who calls you in LOVE to LOVE another.

John 5
28,
Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
29, And shall come forth; they that have done good, to the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, to the resurrection of damnation.
30, I can of my own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not my own will, but the will of the Father which has sent me.
31, If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.
32, There is another that bears witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesses of me is true.
33, You sent to John, and he bore witness to the truth.
34, But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that you might be saved.
35, He was a burning and a shining light: and you were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.
36, But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father has given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father has sent me.
37, And the Father himself, which has sent me, has borne witness of me. You have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.
38, And you have not his word abiding in you: for whom he has sent, him you believe not.
39, Search the scriptures; for in them you think you have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
40, And you will not come to me, that you might have life.

41, I receive not honor from men.
42, But I know you, that you have not the love of God in you.

Only God's Word is true and we should BELIEVE and FOLLOW him who calls us in LOVE to LOVE another. SIN will keep all those who KNOWINGLY practice it OUT of God's KINGDOM............God's 4th commandment is one of the ten (Exodus 20:8-11) If we knowingly break it when God asks us not to we stand guilty before God of committing sin (James 2:8-12).

If Christ had not fulfilled the law there would be no salvation. For those who live under the law are condemned. That is what the law does, it condemns. Why people should endeavour to keep the law is a mystery to me because it cannot be done. Consequently all who rely on works of the law are under a curse; for it is written, “Cursed be everyone who does not abide by all things written in the Book of the Law, and do them.” Gal 3:10

However, we have a redeemer and whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. Joh 3:18 He was that perfect lamb slain for the world for the remission of sins. He was as a lamb without blemish and without spot or stain: 1Pe 1:19.

There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life has set us free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. Rom 8:1-2. Those who throw themselves on the mercy of the one who fulfilled the law will find redemption in Him.

May God bless.
yes, you and i agree on the meaning of Fulfilled

but to try to convince someone else, given the latitude in Any human language, that can lead to strivings, contentions, other works of the flesh

of course, I'm convinced that you and i have the Spirit on this

No need to be confused Dan,

If you have no LAW then you have no SIN. If you have no SIN then you have no need of a Saviour. If you have no need of a Saviour then you have no salvation. If you have no salvation then you a lost because you are still in your SINS.

God's LAW shows us that we are all SINNERS in need of a Savior. It is what God uses to lead us to the Saviour. It gives us a KNOWLEDGE of what SIN and RIGHTEOUSNESS are (Romans 3:20; Ps 119:172). By God's LAW we are all condemned as sinners in need of s Saviour. God's LAW leads us t leads us to Jesus who can save us from our SINS (Romans 3:19; John 3:16).

God's Word is very clear. If the interpretation of God's Word for fulfilled means that God's LAW is no longer required why would Jesus and alll the apostles teach in the new testament to OBEY it through Faith and why does the book of Revelation describe God's siants as keeping all the Commandments of God (Rev 12:17; 14:12)?

WHAT DID JESUS AND THE APOSTLES TEACH ABOUT GOD’S LAW

...............

God's 4th commandment is one of the ten (Exodus 20:8-11) If we knowingly break it when God asks us not to we stand guilty before God of committing sin (James 2:8-12). If we do not seek him in repentance and forgiveness we are in danger of the Judgement (Hebrews 10:26-27)

Sunday worship is a tradition and teaching of man that has lead many to break the commandments of God. Jesus says that if we follow the traditions of man that break the commandments of God we are not following God (Matthew 15:3-9)


There is not one scripture in all of God's Word that says that God's 4th Commandment is now ABOLISHED and we are now commanded to KEEP Sunday as a Holy day.

Who should we follow the teachings and traditions of men or the Word of God? Who should we believe the Words of men or the Word of God?

In times of ignorance God winks at but now ,<when a KNOWLEDGE of the truth has come> calls all men everywhere to REPENT (FOLLOW) (Acts 17:30-31).
I'm not confused

yes, we have the law

you and i disagree on the meaning of Fulfilled

How would you describe this? Don't bother responding I have put you back on ignore.

Mat_5:22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.

Mat_5:28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.

Mat_5:32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.

Mat_5:34 But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne:

Mat_5:39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.

Mat_5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
Where does Jesus say to place them on ignore?

All these verses you posted is Jesus correcting the Mainstream Preachers of His time. You are preaching falsehood about God's Word. Jesus didn't teach against Moses as you preach. Not knowing you are preaching falsehoods is one thing, we are all deceived at some point. But to continue to preach falsehood even after you are show is a completely different thing. It places you is another category all together. It explains why you put me on ignore as did the Pharisees to the Prophets, Jesus and the Disciples.

Matt. 5:20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.

You didn't consider this verse or the implications of it. What did the Pharisees do? They taught for "Doctrines" the Commandments of men and had been doing so for centuries. Jesus is having to re-teach everyone as to what the Gospel is.

21 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time,Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:

Because the Catholic church and her daughters preach against God's Laws you automatically assume, as does the web site you posted, that "Those of old time" is referring to Moses. But Jesus didn't have a problem mentioning Moses name, if He was referring to Moses He would have said "You have heard it said from Moses". But he didn't, He wasn't talking about Moses as you and so "Many" who come in His Name preach. He is talking about the Levite Priests, the Pharisees, who had created their own Law and had omitted the "weightier matters "in the Law" like mercy and judgment. Everybody didn't have a bible in their house like you and I do. Unless they took notes from the scribes and studied, they would only understand what the Pharisees told them. And Jesus was very clear that they were liars when it came to the Word of God.

Jesus set them straight regarding the Laws and Instructions He created before becoming a man.

22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.

When did He say this truth?

Lev. 19:17 Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbour, and not suffer sin upon him.

In fact, if you go through the "But I say" you will find that Jesus either said it or inspired it to be said in the Law and Prophets long before he came to earth as a man.

He wasn't teaching a different Gospel than Moses or the God of the Bible as you preach, He was teaching a different Gospel than the Mainstream Preachers of His Time. They are the "Them of old time" if you can accept this. The question is, which is more important to you, Your religious traditions and doctrines, or the truth from the Word of God?

The law is 613 rules found in the Torah. That is the law Jesus is talking about. Sin is the transgression of that law. No one but Jesus has ever kept the law. Jesus said, "I didn't come to break the law and the prophets but to fulfill them." They will stand until the heavens and earth pass away.
Then you are a sinner.

Who will you turn to for redemption?

Nice music but your not following Jesus if your not doing what he says. Sin will keep all who practice it out of God's KINGDOM.

Matthew 7
21,
Not every one that said to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; BUT HE THAT DOETH THE WILL OF MY FATHER WHICH IS IN HEAVEN.
22, Many will say to me in that day, LORD, LORD, HAVE WE NOT PROPESIED IN YOUR NAME? and IN YOUR NAME CAST OUT DEVILS? and IN YOUR NAME DONE MANY WONDERFUL WORKS?
23, And then willI profess to them, I NEVER KNEW YOU: DEPART FROM ME YOU WHO WORK SIN (iniquity).

Yep don't look good for some come judgement time. Then it will be too late. We only have today.

Will you follow God's Word?

Mat 7:21-23 ESV
(21) “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
(22) On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’
(23) And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’

Jesus is talking about you and those who remain under Old Testament law that ended with John the Baptist.

Nope, he is talking about those practicing SIN. Those practicing SIN do not KNOW him who loves all and calls us in LOVE to LOVE another. SIN will keep you out of God's KINGDOM.

WHAT IS SIN?


James 2
8, If ye fulfill the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself, ye do well:
9, But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.
10, For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
11 For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, YOU ARE BECOME A TRANSGRESSOR OF GOD'S LAW


James is pretty clear if we brake ANY of God's Law (10 commandments) then we are a TRANSGRESSOR of God's LAW

links to...........

1 John 3
4 Whosoever commits SIN transgresses also the law: for SIN is the transgression of the law.
John is in agreement with James and states that if we TRANSGRESS God's LAW then we commit SIN because SIN IS THE TRANSGRESSION OF GOD'S LAW. So it is very clear that SIN is breaking ANY of God's LAW (10 commandments)
Links to...........

Romans 7

7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known SIN, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.

Well here we have Paul in agreement with James and John also telling us that SIN is breaking God's commandments and uses the 10th commandment as an example of breaking any of God's LAW (10 commandments) = SIN (Exodus 20:17)

Links to............

Romans 3

20, Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: FOR BY THE LAW IS THE KNOWLEDGE OF SIN.
Once again Paul is in agreement with John and James which all agree together that if we break any of God's LAW (10 commandments) we commit SIN because as James, John and Paul all agree together that SIN is breaking ANY of God's 10 commandments.

God's Word is in disagreement with you my friend. SIN is the transgression of God's LAW (10 commandments)

................

God's 4th commandment is one of the ten
(Exodus 20:8-11) and like any of the ten, if we knowingly break it when God asks us not to we stand guilty before God of committing sin (James 2:8-12). If we do not seek him in repentance and forgiveness we are in danger of the Judgement (Hebrews 10:26-27)

There is not one scripture in ALL of God's WORD that says God's 4th commandment is now ABOLISHED and we are now commanded to worship God on Sunday in it's place.

Sunday worship is a tradition and teaching of man that has led many to break the commandments of God. Jesus says that if we follow the traditions of man that break the commandments of God we are not following God (Matthew 15:3-9)

Then stop making a god of a day and worship the LORD of the Sabbath.
