Retire the Ten Commandments?

EvangAlived · Sep 25, 2018

You have a misunderstanding about Who is doing the keeping, for I look unto Christ Jesus:

Jud_1:24 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,

Do you believe the verse?

Eph 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Eph 2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Eph 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

Do you believe the verses?

I suggest Galatians and Hebrews....you are placing yourself in bondage and condemning yourself in the process...End of story.....

Only bewitched fools believe or promote starting with faith and finishing it off with the works of the law....and or an inferior way.....good luck!

I actually have personal studies on both, in detail. I can go verse by verse if you would like? Can we begin with Hebrews?

I have an entire sermon just on the first word in Galatians 1:1.

So have I and faith plus law = false gospel of a different kind, no power to save, double cursed and only fools and bewitched follow such a dogma.....

What part of being justified by faith without the deeds/works of the law is too hard for you to understand......lose the rose colored religious glasses and you might see the truth!

EvangAlived · Sep 26, 2018

dcontroversal said:

Ok, let's hear/see your verse by verse presentation on Hebrews 1 to begin with. You present your personal study on Hebrews 1:1, to start, and then I will post mine following yours, and then back and forth we can go verse by verse. Please begin a new thread on Hebrews (verse by verse), if you are willing to do this. I will be checking to see if the material is your own in each case.

EvangAlived · Sep 26, 2018

dcontroversal said:

Not sure why you are misunderstanding the position I presented.

Law (any) does not ever save anyone, anyhow. Never it's purpose. Even "faith" is not the saviour. Faith is that which takes hold of that which is offered.

It is God who saves (from sin (1 John 3:4)), and who justifies, thus the name of Jesus (JEHOVAH is (my) Saviour). I cited those verses.

Faith (being the gift of God; Ephesians 2:8) takes hold of God's salvation (also gift; 2 Corinthians 9:15), in Christ Jesus, who saves us from, not in, our sins (Matthew 1:21; 1 John 3:4).

Act_3:26 Unto you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities.

It seems you are re-defining the definition of sin, apart from 1 John 3:4.

Amen! I'm sure you have not forgotten about a certain former member of CC who was SDA (but is no longer with us) who terrorized Christian Chat for almost a year with his longwinded posts, full of scripture twisting, psycho babble, rhetoric and SDA propaganda. ALL he talked about was the Law and the 10 Commandments with a heavy emphasis on turning keeping the Sabbath day into a legalistic prescription for Christians under the New Covenant. Here is a statement below from one of his previous posts in which his true colors of teaching salvation by "grace plus law, faith plus works" was made obvious (even though he tried to deny it).

"There is another Gospel out there. What is the other Gospel? It is a Gospel that tries to separate God's Law (10 commandments) from the Cross. The counterfeit Gospel is out there. It is a Gospel that tries to separate God's 10 commandments from the plan of salvation. God’s Law has always been part of the true Gospel of Christ. The counterfeit Gospel does not have it. God's forever Law (the 10 commandments) is the foundation of both the Old and the New Covenant and the very foundation and basis of the true Gospel of Christ."

He also had a link to a website called, "TheBeastsMarkiscoming" that promotes the idea that those who worship God on Sunday and do not keep the 7th day Sabbath will receive the mark of the beast. - BeastsMark I Mark of the Beast I The Antichrist and the number 666

That ludicrous argument has been refuted by a former SDA member here - Bible Truth Versus Adventist Truth - Mark of the Beast

NOWHERE does the NT teach that keeping the Sabbath day is binding on Christians under the New Covenant. SDA's can quote a multitude of scriptures and twist those scriptures to say whatever they want to make them say, but to no avail. They are not fooling us.

Sabbath keeping with all it's rules and regulations, was part of a covenant with Israel that is not binding on Christians under the New Covenant.

*Colossians 2:16 - Therefore no one is to act as your judge in regard to food or drink or in respect to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day 17 things which are a mere shadow of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Christ.

Even when SDA's set out to worship on the Sabbath, are they truly "keeping the Sabbath?" To "keep the Sabbath" as it was required in the Old Testament under the Old Covenant would involve compliance with specific regulations (Exodus 16:23; 35:3; Leviticus 23:32; Jeremiah 17:21) that were strictly enforced.

If Sabbath day observances are still required, so would the burnt offerings which went along with them (Leviticus 19:30; 23:2-3; Numbers 28:1-10; 29:39-40; I Chronicles. 23:30-31; II Chronicles 31:2-4; Isaiah 1:13). So no kindling a fire in any of your dwellings on the sabbath (Exodus 35:3). Every man must remain in his place on the sabbath (Exodus 16:29). No trading (Amos 8:5). No marketing (Nehemiah 10:31; 13:15,19).

These were commanded by God to Israel (Exodus 35:1).

If the seventh day Sabbath is still in affect, then why do not the Sabbatarians seek to obey ALL that the LORD commanded? How can a person keep a certain law when he keeps only part of it?

If the Sabbath day laws were still in effect today, then according to Exodus 31:12-18; 35:1-3; and Numbers 15:32-36, anyone who profaned the Sabbath was put to death and any person who does any work on it, that person shall be cut off from his people.

Who is going to enforce that? The Jewish synagogue? The Seventh day Adventist church? The Government? Since we do not live under a theocratic state as ancient Israel did under the Old Covenant, no Sabbatarian can live consistently under these Mosaic regulations.

I know that user to whom you refer, and his website (kinda neat if you ask me). He is on Christian Forums under the user name "LoveGod'sWord". I am not him, but I know him, even by name, and he knows me, at least by several user names on that forum.

This is my first time on this site and didn't even know it existed until another user invited me from another forum, a sister (non-SDA).

Thank you for the very thorough post, very helpful

More Ad Hominem, even of a person not even present on this board. Really??? C'mon mailmandan, please just stick to the scriptures. Saves time and space. Please, I am asking.

mailmandan said:

I will defend a brother, knowing him. He indeed, is a defender of the faith once delivered to the saints, and rare among them also, seeing as he knows how to wield the sword of the word, cutting to ribbands, the excuses of disobedience and ad hominems.

mailmandan said:

Defamation of character too, even character assassination? Brother, you are on the same path of those who withstood Moses, and Jesus. Please think about this mode of reply. Please. I know brother "LoveGod'sWord" and he is most definitely not a legalist. He is neither liberal nor conservative, but "converted" and is passionate about His Lord of the Sabbath, and His Law and Eternal Kingdom.

mailmandan said:

If you think that quote teaches "salvation by "grace plus law, faith plus works"", then I cannot help you. It says no such thing. Thank you for posting it however. It will remain a testament to a faithful brother here.

EvangAlived · Sep 26, 2018

Oh yes it still applies. I will explain, maybe tomorrow, who is going to enforce it and when.

Again, all still applies. I can probably get to these after the other, 'stoning', and who will carry it out and when and the where.

Signing off for now, until then, I would expect others to be thinking about what I may present.

EvangAlived said:

Yeah right!

Talk about deceived!

I knew it! You are just as deceived as he is.

It's interesting that you knew exactly who I was talking about.

If you think that quote does not teach "salvation by grace plus law, faith plus works" then I cannot help you. In what universe does his erroneous quote not equate to "salvation by grace plus law, faith plus works?" Talk about deceived!

I posted it in order to expose his perverted SDA gospel. It will not remain a testament to a faithful brother here, but will remain a testament to exposing a perverted gospel and a wolf in sheep's clothing here. "LoveGodsWord" is his avatar name on Christian Forums, which he is currently terrorizing.

I can stop reading there. Mega-church and you already know its going to be the usual apostate operating procedure. Get out of those mega-churches people, they are trash and the preachers are fake as can get. You dont need much street smarts to figure that out.

No surprise he said we need to be unhinged from the OT. That is MARCIONISM, its wicked. The O.T. is just as true as the N.T.

Me and posthuman disagree on calvinism and i still consider him a brother in Christ. You can be a calvinist and still be saved, and I hope he also believes you can be a non-calvinist and be saved.

Dont take it too seriously, im sure he is writing in good spirit. I get a good feeling about this guy. He calls it like he sees it. I like that about a man. I would shake his hand and pay him due respect.

K, the reply of mine that you quoted was a general statement about characteristics common to all mankind, and it literally states as much.

if a person has trouble understanding things they should take care before they reply.
this also is a general statement applicable to all humankind.
