  • 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.

One of the most controversial issues, is the DAY OF WORSHIP

Luk 4:14 And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about.
Luk 4:15 And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all.
Luk 4:16 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read.
Luk 4:17 And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,
Luk 4:18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
Luk 4:19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
Luk 4:20 And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.
Luk 4:21 And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.

Act 5:32 And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him.

Act 5:29 Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.
In your quote there's nothing requiring sabbath observance. It only proves Jesus was in the synagogue on the sabbath.

What do you hope to accomplish with your quotes from Acts 5? Nothing in Acts 5 is about the sabbath or the law.

27 And when they had brought them, they set them before the council: and the high priest asked them,

28 Saying, Did not we straitly command you that ye should not teach in this name? and, behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this man's blood upon us.

29 Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.

30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree.

31 Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.

32 And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him.

33 When they heard that, they were cut to the heart, and took counsel to slay them.

34 Then stood there up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, had in reputation among all the people, and commanded to put the apostles forth a little space;

35 And said unto them, Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what ye intend to do as touching these men.

Aren't you basically telling us to not teach something you don't accept? that's what the Jews were told to do.

Verse 28 basically says to not teach about Jesus.

Peter's response was to obey God rather than men when it comes to teaching about Jesus.

What was given to the disciples? It was something other than the law or Jewish custom. What the disciples were teaching came from the Holy Ghost and not the law.

You can order me to not teach about Jesus and His New Covenant all you want. It will fall on deaf ears.

28 Saying, Did not we straitly command you that ye should not teach in this name? and, behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this man's blood upon us.

30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree.

31 Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.

32 And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him.

33 When they heard that, they were cut to the heart, and took counsel to slay them.

I think it is an attempt to cut and paste the entire Bible into this thread, it may not necessarily add anything to the debate, but it does mean they are being kept busy trying to keep track of what parts of the Bible they still need to cut and paste. :)

Jer 31:32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD:
Jer 31:33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Jer 31:34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.

Exo_16:4 Then said the LORD unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or no.

Psa_78:1 Maschil of Asaph. Give ear, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth.

Pro_7:2 Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye.

Isa_51:7 Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings.

Jer_9:13 And the LORD saith, Because they have forsaken my law which I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice, neither walked therein;

Eze_22:26 Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned mine holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they shewed difference between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.

Rom_7:12 Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.
Still nothing requiring Christians to do anything. Try again.

I think it is an attempt to cut and paste the entire Bible into this thread, it may not necessarily add anything to the debate, but it does mean they are being kept busy trying to keep track of what parts of the Bible they still need to cut and paste. :)
Yes they try to smother us with Scripture hoping to discourage.

Php_3:18 (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:
Aren't you talking about yourself here? I promote Jesus and His free gift while you promote the law. So who is the enemy of the cross?
It makes no sense to me to bother with the rest of your post. Yes I read it.

Nothing to do with the subject of the thread. Maybe you ran out of quotes.

Peace is a reference to the Everlasting Gospel, the New Covenant, Isaiah 27:5; Isaiah 56:1-8.

War is in regards the rebellious and disobedient children who fight against God's character and government and people.

Yes and you're at war with people who fully understand they aren't obligated to the covenant given to Israel on stone tablets. Grace is marvelous and not used to run from the law upon violation.

You do not understand Grace. At all. The 'grace' you speak of is licentiousness.

The Grace that the scripture speaks of is power and a teacher:

Tit 2:7 In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,
Tit 2:8 Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you.
Tit 2:9 Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please them well in all things; not answering again;
Tit 2:10 Not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.
Tit 2:11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,
Tit 2:12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;
Tit 2:13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
Tit 2:14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

Exodus 20:1-17; John 14:15; Exodus 20:6; 1 John 3:4.

No it's not. I don't promote sin anywhere.

Gal 5:17For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want. 18But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. 19The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.

This agrees with the definition of lasciviousness.

None of which support your argument or statement about me.

You indeed do.

Exodus 20:8-11 is in the heart of God's Law, it bears His name/character, and speaks to God as our Creator/Redeemer (Re-Creator).

1Jn 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

Sure, and is a reasonable request. Please allow me to post the context of it from the KJB:

Exo 20:8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.

Exo 20:9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:

Exo 20:10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:

Exo 20:11 For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

I've been told the sabbath is optional, and just a day of rest from work. I took his word by faith. Then I hear different perspectives I can't figure out which one is true. The Bible doesn't seem to support Sabbath-keeping in the new covenant from when I read.

Where can I find an undeniable fact that it's either optional or that we are meant to still keep it?

I would say, if worship means this:


Pure religion [religious worship] and undefiled before our God and Father is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.

James 1:27

I think any day is good for that. :)

Also, best reason to do it is that you love God. There is no better reason for it. And certainly, if you do it, don’t do it to gain eternal life, because it is not something that you could bought with your works.

For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. His commandments are not grievous.
1 John 5:3

Eternal life is for righteous and it is greater than any works, because righteousness is the thing that produces all good works.


These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.

Mat. 25:46

And about Shabbat day, the meaning of it was that people rest from their work. I think it is good thing to keep. It is beneficial for people to have at least one day of the week to have a break from work.

My first question is who or what is a manservant? What do they do?
