Hello Aerials, thank you very much for your very kind words! It is very sweet of you to be so encouraging... Though I agree with the points in the post you quoted, it was not in my own words, as I sourced from gotquestions.org, which was noted at the end of my post. I find gq to be quite reputable in many matters pertaining to our shared faith, even though I do not always agree with them :) Added: oh! And now I see this has been addressed :D LOL it did take me a while to post my response to you, as I was called away while searching for one of my panels to share with you :)

Whether they are your words or someone’s, you know enough to understand how it should be applied. I may not know you, but as a man who lived a life and bitterness and anger, I know a gentle spirit when I see it!

I haven't taken offense. I have pointed out the flaws of reasoning in your question. Your question was not "simple"; any question that leads to a yes/no answer but it stated in the negative is not a simple question! Either answer may be misconstrued.
If that excuse works for you as to why you're unable to actually answer, that's good enough and will serve. Thank you. :)

You are correct in saying that God has done a wonderful work in my life, and He has obviously worked miracles in yours, also. Praise the Lord, for He is good, His love endures forever! :)

I sure have pointed out when a teaching is wrong. Calvinism is a favorite, as is TULIP. ;) I have arrived at the belief that many of those who defend such Doctrines, or other matters of scripture, can be victims of wrong teaching due to the church or the Denomination they're affiliated with.
Calvinist believers, as example, have to get that teaching from somewhere, right? They can't get it simply by reading scripture in context, it had to be taught to them.

I think realizing some people are just wrong because they're taught error by those they trust and who are also wrong, helps to give context also to the errant faith and practice some here have shared and defend. We owe it to people to shine the light on the Truth.

Yes, nothing like being sincerely wrong. Hey, at least they're not half hearted wrong. :giggle:
I am learning that Trolls are easy to spot. And of course having said that, just last night I was shopping and a department store has two giant stuffed troll dolls on sale for Valentines. A little girl troll and a little boy, sold separately. They're so cute, but I admit I did laugh out loud when I saw them. If only they'd had a little laptop under their arm I'd likely have bought one just to give me chuckles when on the computer. :LOL:

sigh

the dude teaching it is not a victim of wrong teaching..referring to Mr Calvinist..I believe it was him or the other one who stated they were nilly willy freely believing for 20 years before switching brands

we have all been taught error but we are not all calling ourselves teachers and teaching the error

teaching is one of the gifts of God through His Spirit and far too many claim they have it. I think it is obvious when someone actually does have it and vice versa

however, scripture also states that not many should call themselves a teacher because they have the bigger responsibility

people forget that or do not take it seriously it would seem

very difficult to undo error. why? cause folks gotta admit they are in error and do a 180...thankfully, when the error hurts enough, we cannot turn around fast enough and run back into the fold, see photo

Where are these instructions?
For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things: 29 that you abstain from things offered to idols, from blood, from things strangled, and from sexual[j]immorality. If you keep yourselves from these, you will do well.
Farewell.
Acts 15:28-29

So there is no obligation for those under the new covenant to keep old covenant feasts.

That having been said, as Christians were expelled from the Synagogues by the Jews, they developed their own new covenant feasts which go back to the beginning.

she didn't do the work

it is sourced from 'Got Questions'

you might note the itsy bitsy source that is highlighted at the end of her post?

I am mentioning it because the title to the article was left out and it is actually important.

here it is:

How did Jesus fulfill the meanings of the Jewish feasts?

the article is illustrating why we do not have to keep the feasts

I guess I was too happy that she didn't post one of those stupid posters

That's because there were no such thing as Christians , a label, when God was inspiring His Truth to be recorded for all time.
The disciples were first called Christians in Antioch, as recorded in Acts 11:26.

Thank you for your reasonable response. :)
It is a lesson in itself I think when those faithful to their Denominational instruction enter into discussions such as this and proceed to insist God manifest laws, and feasts, that were not able to be followed or kept and as a result of that, the failure resulted in death.
Can you imagine that kind of god were he real? Here, obey these laws, observe these feasts, (the first three of which Jesus fulfilled). Oh, you can't! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! DIE!

Me thinks that kind of doctrine tells us the serpent left the garden and started a church .And all that God decreed, he, the antithesis of God, taught the opposite and that God's laws and feasts and teachings, were not able to be honored, followed, or obeyed, and so insisted to those who followed that church that their god would kill those who failed at honoring, following, or obeying, what god gave to people as instruction to attain righteousness.
The church of the slithery serpent with an apple caught in his throat. 666 lucifer lane, damnation city, Hell.
:rolleyes:
I knew there had to be something that painted a picture of what I said above. Those who insist God created laws, feasts, rules, that couldn't possibly be obeyed, and the penalty for that was death. And at an unbelievers pic site too. That's fitting.

sigh

:ROFL: I'm keeping that sheep pic in my favorites.

I can sigh too. See? (sigh) :p

I think if you read me again you'll see that I didn't refer to John Calvin as being misled by teachers. I was referring, and have since I started saying this here, to people who were taught wrong by their church, or Denomination.

Whereas this pretty much encapsulates those who are wrongly taught, by their Denomination or church, that God created laws, and feasts, and other practices to honor Him and or cause His faithful to walk in righteousness, knowing those directives could not be obeyed, and then issued the penalty for that to be death. That's not the God of the Bible.
That's the fabrication of something else.

Yes, thank you, I know. :)
My remarks were, there were no such thing as Christians , a label, when God was inspiring His Truth to be recorded for all time.
Read in context as my reply to the member prior, that then does not conflict with the facts of Antioch. Thanks again.

Yes I know what you said, and it was incorrect. The context of your post does not change that one iota.

tell us what you really think LOL!
I usually blow past anything she says because it is shrouded in purple flowers, it's kind of like those two ladies with laugh in their moniker. It's hard to take that stuff seriously.

Sorry, it is what it is. I guess I'm a bit jaded.

You want an answer? Here's your answer:

No.

You go figure out what that means, in light of your question.

Dear Blik... please understand that it is never my intention to offend you, just for the sake of doing so. However, I do not pull punches, and if I think your ideas are wrong or your reasoning is flawed, I will say so without hesitation. Entertaining poor reasoning is enabling delusion.

Take my "red herring" comment from page 1. It's not even remotely a personal insult or "accusation", as you call it. Rather, it's an observation about the relevance of your statement. You apparently don't understand the term, so you feel offended... needlessly. Should a child feel offended when they get red X's on their incorrect maths? No. They should learn their maths better. In the same way, you should not get offended when you are told that your reasoning is flawed, but rather, you should improve your reasoning.
And I think you should improve your reasoning, it is flawed. I base this on scripture. You should be able to think through your misinterpretations of scripture. Have you ever considered doing this at all, or does your thinking your thinking is so perfect you will not search scripture for the truth? Pride goes before a fall. Have you ever considered that you could be wrong? When you and I discuss scripture I have never heard you do anything but brag on how infallibly right you are.
