  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

What have you understood about the charcater of The Ten Commandments?? (2)

A Jew who was about to die before the Passover, could apparently request to celebrate the Passover before the day, if he wished. As in someone having a death bed wish.. Like we have with the "Make a Wish" foundation..

Look at what Jesus actually said about that Passover Seder...

Matthew 26:18

He replied, “Go into the city to a certain man and tell him,
‘The Teacher says: My appointed time is near. I am going
to celebrate the Passover with my disciples at your house.’”



The request for having the Seder at that time was a man who was about to die's wish!
So did Jesus observe Passover at another time than the appointed day?

If he is, he's not inspired as believed.


Elder 111 is trying to circumcise the Ten Commandments out from and away the Law, and then claiming its not a part of the Law. Just the same, keeping the Sabbath is mentioned in the Law in great detail. Not so, in the Ten Commandments. Can not have one without the other.

No pun intended... But, he wants to slice it both ways.

God did that, I don't have to try at all. God wrote the Ten with His hand not the others.

You do not know what you are talking about. God ultimately wrote ALL the Bible.
2 Peter 1:19-21

So we have the prophetic word made more sure,
to which you do well to pay attention as to a lamp
shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the
morning star arises in your hearts. But know this first
of all, that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of
one’s own interpretation, for no prophecy was ever
made by an act of human will, but men moved by the
Holy Spirit spoke from God.

The Ten Commandments were not written to you, a Gentile. It was written to the Jews.


Exodus 20


The Ten Commandments

Then God spoke all these words, saying,
“I am the Lord your God, who brought you
out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.





You did not come out of the land of Egypt. You did not come out of the house of slavery of the Jews. The Ten Commandments are not for the Church.

He probably doesn't consider that passage inspired and therefore invalid because it interferes with his ideals.

Jesus appears to have celebrated the Passover supper before the Passover. That is why I brought up that detail. If Jesus was looking to have the Seder on the normally designated day, there would have been no need to explain about having reached his appointed time. It was to explain why he was requesting his Seder when he did. Just prior to making his request he told his disciples he was to be killed. Remember?

Matthew 26:1-2

When Jesus had finished saying all these things, he said to his disciples, “As you know, the Passover is two days away—and the Son of Man will be handed over to be crucified.”


I don't claim to have a handle on this issue yet. I am trying to work it out as I go along. I am going by what others claim to have discovered in the Scriptures.

It is not that at all. God inspired the writing of the bible. Men were moved by the Holy Spirit to convey God's messages but when it came to the Ten commandments God spoke it Himself first and then He wrote it Himself. After Moses broke it, it would have been easy for God to tell Moses to rewrite it but yet He did not. That clearly shows How God regarded the Ten Commandments. There is an absolute difference, separation.
God did not treat the Ten Commandments ordinarily why should we? It is not common or equal with the rest of the law.

Do you mind showing us where Paul is pro law for anyone especially the gentile?
I Just did in the passage I quoted. If you disagree with my interpretation of the passage show us what the passage is saying.

So when is Passover celebrated? My understanding is there are 2 possible days to do this. The day Jesus celebrated it wasn't a Sabbath in any sense. The crucifixion and burial occurred in daylight the next day. Then we have the 7th day Sabbath. Because the women rested on the Sabbath and went to the tomb at sunrise the next day which was the first day of the week.

We all came out of Spiritual Egypt, but most of all the Lord IS MY GOD.

Spiritualizing literal Words from God when He declared the covenant from Mount Sinai to a specific people He delivered from Egyptian bondage has become your means to reject what God spoke. In addition to this, calling yourself something other than God's adopted child makes your second claim more than a little suspect. Galatians 4:30 already showed that your claim of retention under the covenant from Mount Sinai denies you any claim to eternal life with the Heir, and continuing to ignore the basic tenets of Christianity doesn't resolve this.
