It is good to “Study to show thyself approved.” I venture to say that many here have been forced to change their understanding of some aspects of Scripture as weeks turn into month, months into years, and then decades. When I was first called “Dogmatic” many years ago, I had to look up the term...

Only 15 paragraphs, you’re slacking up.

So, to be clear. Your opinion is that God requires people to gather every Saturday to worship? Do you consider not doing this as something that could call into question someone’s salvation? (Please don't post 16 paragraphs-just a simple yes or no)

So, we are saved by not sinning?

Once we have that hope through Jesus, it is hard not to share it. It sure makes life easier with that new perspective.

2Cor. 3: 4 Such is the confidence we have toward God through Christ. 5 Not that we are adequate in ourselves so as to consider anything as having come from ourselves, but our adequacy is from God, 6 who also made us adequate as servants of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for...

Are you saying that the rest spoken of is a shadow of a current and future reality?

I’ve had a few conversations with atheists over the years. One series of discussions involved a former coworker. I got to know him a little before engaging in any substantial conversations. He had been deeply disappointed by a religious family member in his youth. I find that is a common...

Do you think God rested at the end of His creation because He was tired?

If one were to do all that, they would be quite busy. Where is the rest He speaks of?

Can you provide some details for those that wish to keep this day Holy? I mean, it seems like there must be some rules involved.

There is a difference in slipping and falling and asking for God's forgiveness which I agree He is so faithful to forgive us, but another to be in complete rebellion to God's law. At least that's what the scriptures indicate Heb 8:7-8 Would you make this same argument with someone who was...

Again quoting directly from the Ten Commandments as to the law that defines sin. The Ten Commandments came in a unit of Ten Deut 4:13 Exo 34:28, not nine despite popular teachings of man. I will I appreciate your concern for sin. But pointing out how everyone who doesn’t believe as you is...

So, you assume everyone who disagrees with your position on the Sabbath is wrong and in perpetual sin?

Are you saying that you do not sin? That you have perfect understanding of God’s will?

Commandments. You know that you are fighting against God’s Grace when you try and tell people they must be perfect. Because last time I looked, if one breaks even the least of these commandments, they are guilty of breaking them all.

I have an old book from the late 1800’s called “The Gospel of The Redman.” It was written by an anthropologist from England who interviewed many older Native Americans from various tribes. He wanted to understand their view of God, their religion. One old Indian related a story of when he...

What I mean to say is that many believe in a relative righteousness, rather than perfect righteousness. I have met many good Christian’s, they admitted and knew they could not achieve perfection in these bodies However, they repented daily and prayed often. Sanctification is a life long process...

Have you ever met someone who kept the law perfectly?

Paul doesn’t dismiss the moral essence of the Decalogue. In several places, like Romans 13:8-10, Paul reiterates commandments like not committing adultery, murder, stealing, or coveting, but he connects them to the broader principle of love. He says that love fulfills the Law because it...
