I agree with you. How could a Christian who wants to bring people to Christ to be saved waste time talking about Shabbat when the word says we are part of a NEW COVENANT. The author of Hebrews wrote: 13By speaking of a new covenant, He has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and...

As to the issue of demonic possession, we cannot discern according to outward appearances. Many things that look like demons may not be. In my experience, believer who is attuned to the Spirit can sense the presence of demons who, after all, are spiritual entities (who formerly were angels). I...

For some 20 years I was a Licensed Mental Health Counselor [who is also a believer in Jesus]. I have had much experience with people who I believe genuinely have DID as well as those who THINK they do not but in reality do not or else have some related condition. It is much harder to get an...

Historically, you are absolutely correct. Neither Jesus nor His apostles commanded New Covenant believers to keep Shabbat exactly as the Jews had. The Jewish Shabbat commemorated God's completion of the first creation and celebrated Israel's deliverance from slavery. However, since Christ rose...

When Israel failed to enter the Land and possess their inheritance, was that God's failure? No, He desire was for them to in and take what was theirs. However, the scripture says: …18 And to whom did He swear that they would never enter His rest? Was it not to those who disobeyed? 19So we see...

God's plan from the Beginning has been to fulfill the types, images and legal requirements of the Old Covenant and to bring them into reality in our lives and that of all humanity. For a long time I studied the tabernacle, the sacrifices and the priesthood extensively and was blessed to see how...

A covenant is not merely an "agreement" like a contract among humans. It involves blood because it represents a binding of one life to another, blood being a symbol of our life.

Alright let us look at the scriptures to see if there was ever an instance where Moses name is used to indicate the Law of God. Turn your attention to 2 Kings 23:25 Neither before nor after Josiah was there any king like him, who turned to the LORD with all his heart and with all his soul and...

Now you are changing direction. I have already proven that the Law of Moses (under the Old Covenant) was regarded as the LAW OF GOD. It follows that not obeying the [universal] moral law is sin. However, ALL the practices and traditions of the Old Covenant are no longer required under the NEW...

You posit that there are "...two basic principles of the laws and that those who do not understand these principles will "sadly misunderstand the NT " At the same time, you do not explain clearly what these "two principles of the laws" are. You seem to think it is highly important to...

You have been saying the Ten Commandments ARE the Mosaic Law apart from the entire system of practices in which it is embedded. However, the fact that the OLD COVENANT was often abbreviated by the term "The Law" does not mean it has been reduced only of moral/legal injunctions. I think you do...

You are making obedience to the Mosaic Law the criteria by which men are admitted into the Kingdom. I hope you do not believe this literally but you fail to make necessary distinctions to separate your beliefs from the erroneous opinions the Judaeizers which Paul condemned. The Galations also...

First, unlike what some here have suggested, I do not believe in what Martin Luther called "Antinomianism" which is the belief that disciples of Jesus Christ are under no obligation to obey the moral law. This is lawlessness which strongly denied by both Jesus and His Apostles. However, the Ten...

Historically, Scripture never mentions Sabbath (or Saturday) gatherings of believers, However, there are clear passages that mention the FIRST DAY day of the week, as the day when New Covenant believers gathered, shared the word and accepted offerings. The Romans called this particular day...

The Jewish people under the Old Covenant certainly were obliged to keep the to keep Shabbat as well as all the other laws. It is interesting, though, that while the Apostles who were given the responsibility of teaching their disciples gave them many moral injunctions as well as passing on to...

Jesus was referring to His own commands not specifically the ten which were given by Moses. Of course, Jesus' commands embody the essence of the Mosaic law but go much deeper - penetrating to the motives and intentions of the heart. When I lived in Israel, I found that a great many Rabbinical...

Likewise what good is not coveting if we are going to profane God's Sabbath. In fact God related breaking the Sabbath with idol worship Eze20:16 which is coveting Col3:5 they are all interconnected, why breaking one we break them all. If not keeping Shabbat is morally /spiritually equivalent to...

Are you saying God is "drawing a line" between believers who practice Shabbat and believers who do not? Also what are people to come out of - Churches who do not keep Shabbat?
