I see no reason to entertain your delusion.

While five miles night be a nice pedal commute in many areas, it isn’t where I live. Temperatures as low as -40, winds well in excess of 40 mph, and ample bugs throughout the summer make bicycle commuting simply impractical for many people. Plus… very few employers offer shower facilities.

Your example is ridiculous and clearly intended as an insult. Only a few words are “defined” in Scripture, and ‘usury’ is not one of them. Translators choose words according to their usage in the world, so that their language is readily understood by its readers. You are simply incorrect on...

Psst... Aramaic, not Arabic, and then only a small portion. Most of the OT was Hebrew, most of the NT was Greek. ;)

Christians believe that Paul's words are God's words, per 2 Timothy 3:16. Do you believe Paul was a deceiver and a heretic?

What do you call a cow with no legs? Ground beef. What do you call a dog with no legs? It don't matter; he ain't comin' anyway. You're welcome. I'm here all week. :cool:

In that case, it would be a gender-confused cow. ;)

Usury: the illegal action or practice of lending money at unreasonably high rates of interest (Oxford Dictionaries) According to the definition, usury is inherently illegal. Charging interest is not illegal. Don't confuse the two. If you loan money to someone for one year, and in that year you...

Simple: Because many people claiming to be Christians are simply religious and are not reborn.

I'd say Welcome to CC, but... let's get this straight: You attended a VOLUNTEER APPRECIATION DINNER. Not a Sunday service, or a youth event, or even an advertised 'crusade' meeting, but an invitational dinner held by a local congregation for its own people. To thank the attendees for their...

Fair point, but I haven't heard "experts" blame anything on edc's. I suspect most of the "experts" are in the pockets of the big chemical companies anyway.

Where in Scriptue is the Law limited to the Ten Commandments?

You can't obey the Law "in the Spirit" either. Try finding a Levite to offer a dove on the altar for you. You can't keep the Law. If you're a Christian, you aren't under that covenant anyway.

What you completely fail to understand is that you CANNOT keep the Law. It is impossible. Paul made that clear to the council Acts 15:10. It became impossible even more so with the destruction of the temple and the end of the Levitical order. The is the Paul who wrote, "All who rely on the works...

Or, in many cases, has already kept it and the prophecy is fulfilled in the past.

Yes, but it does not state what you think it states. Read verse 3: "We who have believed enter that rest...." We enter on the basis of faith, not of cessation from activity. See verse 3:19, "So we see that they were unable to enter because of unbelief." (emphasis added).

No, it’s not. You expect people to click on a video without telling them why they should. No thanks, I have better things to do.

Some context and explanation for your thread title would be appreciated. ;)

Welcome to CC! Good thoughts, generally. I would say that the Law cannot be obeyed today, because there is no temple to which to take one's offering, and no Levite to inspect it or offer it on the altar. I find that the legalists will commonly make one or both of two specific mistakes...

I suspect that there is a range of factors leading someone to embrace transgenderism. It certainly isn't consistent with God's design. I wouldn't argue that the enemy is all over this, but I think there is more going on than simply spiritual deception. One 'cause' I believe needs scientific...
