You're completely missing the point. Hebrews does not tell us to disobey what God has commanded; such an interpretation would be wrongheaded. What Hebrews does tell us is that the covenant of the Law is no longer in effect for the Christian believer. The Law is as irrelevant to the Christian in...

Where in Scripture is this alleged distinction stated? I'll provide the answer for you: NOWHERE. There is no distinction; the Law is a complete unit, which is not to be broken into parts that apply and parts that don't. You either follow the entire law or you are a lawbreaker, simple as that...

The claims of the Catholic entity are irrelevant. Long before it existed, Christians were meeting together "on the first day of the week" which is our Sunday. We meet together on Sunday following them, not the Catholics.

You’re trying to make the words mean something very different than what they mean in every other context. The normal way to read Genesis 1:1 is, ‘the first thing God did was create the heavens and the earth’, not, ‘Some stuff happened and then God created the heavens and the earth’.

The earth has a crust... pizza has a crust... I think you might be on to something.

If you're going to repeat this phrase, at least get your grammar sorted. Anchovies may or may not belong on pizzas, but apostrophes definitely don't. ;)

My... aren't we proud of our personal accomplishments. Too bad all this spirituality hasn't resulted in humility and graciousness toward others.

Here we have another thread demonstrating the OP's ignorance on the subject of mental illness. Two in a week... and in what phase is the moon? Seriously, assuming that all mental illness is the direct work of the devil is like telling the person with stomach cancer, "Physician, heal thyself!"...

Your insistence upon the correctness of the KJV is misplaced, and your assertion of things that are not in Scripture is concerning.

What makes you think I think that? Please, enlighten us, O wise one!

Bullhockey. Repeating a falsehood doesn't make it true, Mr. Goebbels.

I wouldn't say you are wrong, necessarily, but I would maintain that the darkness mentioned in Genesis 1:2 was simply the absenece of physical light. When God said, "Let there be light", there is no indication it was "the light of the righteousness and glory of God" but rather, simple photons.

Yes, and? How does this support your assertion?

A slanted study from a biased sectarian group won’t help anyone.

“Magic gravity” … what do you propose instead?

“Time out”? That’s a consequence for a child, not an adult. An adult who behaves badly needs a clear explanation identifying the offensive behaviour, a description of proper behaviour, and negative consequences for repeating the bad behaviour which actually enforced. When a pastor doesn’t deal...

No. The Republic of Armenia.

Agreed. Again, agreed. That's not spelled out in Scripture, so I cannot affirm it. God had not yet said, "Let there be light." If you want to argue that Satan's fall perpetrated the 'darkness', then you must agree that Jesus is the light... but He is the Creator, so your claim self-destructs...

Incorrect: the key word of verse 1 in Hebrew is hassamayim, a plural noun. Once again, your arrogant dismissal is both erroneous and inappropriate.

The universe was created in the first verse. “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” ‭‭Genesis‬ ‭1‬:‭1‬ ‭NIV‬‬ If you trace the use of ‘heaven’ or ‘heavens’ through chapter 1, you will see.
