  • 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.

Christ says no schism in the body which is exactly what these law abolishers are doing. They're trying to separate themselves but that's no surprise it's man's nature not God's. Also news alert there is no jew or gentile. God bless you.
Yes, only to their own demise, but they can’t see it and we can only pray they will before its too late. God bless!

That saw cuts both ways.

The Apostle Paul identified the Circumcision Group as a dangerous cult.

  1. Galatians 2:12
    For before certain men came from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles. But when they arrived, he began to draw back and separate himself from the Gentiles because he was afraid of those who belonged to the circumcision group.

  2. Titus 1:10
    For there are many rebellious people, full of meaningless talk and deception, especially those of the circumcision group.

It also confirms that it is optional.
Even if this was true, do you think God is looking for people who view His Holy day as optional or ones who take delight in the the holy day of the Lord thy God? Isaiah 58:13 Spending time with God on His holy day is a definitely a delight for me.

Why do you think God has an ark of the covenant in Heaven? Revelations 11:19

Just like we are told God’s saints keeps the commandments of God, which includes the 4th commandment Revelations 14:12
There you go again. Always needing to slip the Sabbath in by inference, because it is not there otherwise. How come?

It helps to understand the weekly Sabbath that is a commandment of God and the annual yearly sabbath(s) festivals found in Leviticus. Many erroneously intentionally or unintentionally mis up these two Sabbaths.

We are only being gracious in granting you the option. And we should. However...

The reality is... anyone that observes the Sabbath does so because they believe they are commanded to do so. What does this say about those who don't choose to do that? (lawbreakers and sinners, pagan idolators, sungod-day worshipers, bowing at the altars of Baal, hell-bound unbelievers, Babylon the Harlot) Gee, thanks. That's what we get for being so tolerant of you.

Because God told us He wrote a Covenant of Ten, not nine and not eight. Feel free to believe God meant forget when He said REMEMBER the Sabbath day and keep it holy. I believe what God tells us

Exodus 34: 28 So he was there with the Lord forty days and forty nights; he neither ate bread nor drank water. And He wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant, the Ten Commandments.

Exodus 20:8 “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. 11 For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.

I would be careful claiming to know what is in the hearts of others. Only Jesus knows this.

Where are the instructions about these things in the New Testament?

Colossians 2:14-16 is about the yearly sabbath(s) festivals which ended with Jesus as our sacrifice. Not the 4th commandment. You have been told this already so telling you again will probably not make a difference. We have free will

Like I wrote earlier, you guys NEVER quote Deuteronomy for the TCs. It is obvious why. (doesn't support your case) Says "observe" not "remember". (in the NIV anyway)

God is speaking in Exodus. Moses is speaking and repeating what God said in Deuteronomy.

So are Christians required to keep all 613 commandments of the Law?

Tell me can you be saved if you have no faith and do not believe and follow God's Word according to the scriptures?
Perhaps you don't realize it, but you're looking really bad on this thread. Like here, where you bob and weave again by answering a poster's question with a question.

If you believe Ellen White is correct that people who knowingly do not observe the sabbath can't be saved then just step up and own it yourself. Just say it.
