Once in a while, you have to step in it to deal with it. ;)

"Philosophy"? Wow... if you think demeaning my position makes your position more soundly biblical, you're dead wrong. My position is based entirely on Scripture... all of Scripture. As to your references, they aren't your words, and they don't adequately answer my question. More silly insults...

Sure, there are worldly people who give to various causes in order to reduce their overall tax burden, but that has nothing to do with the Church. "Trusting God in our giving" is giving when, how, where, and how much God says to give, and trusting that He will supply both the full need for the...

Welcome to CC, Brooke! Regarding the study of Scripture, start as you have with simply reading it. Ask Jesus to give you insight and understanding. Anything that seems too complex for now, leave for later. Of course, if you haven't already acknowledged your own sinfulness and need of a...

Deuteronomy 14:26 "And thou shalt bestow that money for whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatsoever thy soul desireth: and thou shalt eat there before the Lord thy God, and thou shalt rejoice, thou, and thine household," Well...

Aside from "assigning" some reading in Scripture, you said, "Our rest comes in obedience to God if we learn from those prior passages what disobedience entails." I don't consider that an answer to my question, but you do, so I'll respond accordingly. Our rest does not "come" at all. We enter...

Hebrews 4 explains the "change" as you call it. The weekly sabbath is a shadow of the eternal sabbath in Jesus Christ. There is no need to keep a weekly reminder of an ongoing reality.

You are correct in that the issue at hand was circumcision, but that issue served to illustrate the greater truth: Christians aren't under the Law, period! Paul is not contradicting himself (or Jesus, for that matter) at all. It is not a curse to keep the commandments (the entire Law, not just...

Read my post again... slowly and carefully.

Streeeeeeeetch. No. Stop with your silly, baseless "spiritual meaning" blather and stick to the plain text. You're so far off base that you're in the next county.

You didn't answer my question.

Please cite the specific verses in Scripture that define any part of the Law as "moral", and those verses that clearly distinguish these "moral" laws from the "ceremonial" and "civil" laws.

In marked contrast to such foolishness, those who are filled with the Spirit have no inclination to murder, lie, steal, etc. We glorify God first and have no need for other gods. We honour our parents. We have entered into the Sabbath-rest bought for us by Jesus' death. It's not a matter of...

Only in the Douay-Rhiems version are those words located at Psalm 103:5. In all other English Bibles, those words are in Psalm 104. Arguing about it just makes you look more stupid. You've been told this already, but you refuse to learn.

From what did God rest? From creating! We didn't do any creating, so we can't rest from creating "just as God did from His". We rest from the labour of trying to be righteous by following the Law which we can never do perfectly. If you're going to claim that God rested as an example for us, you...

So explain, from within your understanding of Scripture, the Sabbath of Hebrews 4.

Repeating your convoluted errors doesn't make them sound. Your "theology" is really wacky.

See my comment at the bottom. No, Samson was a Nazarite. Read more carefully. Nazarene, not Nazarite. Different completely. Wow. Since you didn't read carefully enough, and conflated two unrelated concepts, you're left with nothing but a tangle and no argument at all. When you don't...

Um, no. You've taken unrelated sentences out of context and tried to connect them. That's a great way to invent a false doctrine. In Romans 7:14, Paul is referring to the literal Law, the Sinai covenant. He is contrasting the spiritual nature of the Law with the carnal nature of his own...

Psalm 103 Of David. 1 Praise the Lord, my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name. 2 Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits— 3 who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, 4 who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and...
