Hi Bob S,
I don't even think you see the irony of your comments in light of your own actions. You attempt to castigate others for doing what you yourself are constantly doing. You want to correct the supposed errors of Seventh-day Adventists, but you feel put upon when your own incessant false teachings are exposed. Why is that?
My "plan" is to do as I am admonished in 2 Peter 4:2: correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction. That you don't like being corrected or rebuked is noted, but oddly you feel like you can correct others. Your "corrections" are not based on the Word of God, but rather on the sparks of your own fertile imagination.
My corrections of your innumerable false teachings are generally buttressed with links and quotes. Your supposed "corrections" are accusations without foundation. You insist I said something, but when I ask for verification you just continue with your feeble attempts at mind control by continuing to loudly persist that your accusation is true. That's not how it works. Your word isn't the gospel.
There are 15 PAGES with at least 20 examples per/page of you attempting your feeble mind control technique of saying something over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and hoping that the uninformed and uninitiated will blindly accept this unbiblical number as being relevant.
Is it "picky, picky, picky" to expect that if someone is attempting to emphasize a number as being so important to Christians that they have to parrot it over and over 300 times? Actually, not. That is the DEFINITION of attempting to brain wash people. Above, I only repeated the word "over" 60 times, and that seems like overkill. But you intentionally attempted to manipulate people into perceiving the number 613 as being something other than what it is—unbiblical nonsense.
But go ahead and try to explain why you feel the number 613 is so important that you must place such repetitive emphasis on it that it appears that you elevate it beyond what God actually says? God actually and factually attaches a numeral to the laws He Himself inscribed—two separate times—in stone and
calls this set of laws a covenant. You attempt to swallow up that God-given number with an unbiblical one. My question is why? Who does that? Well, obviously you do. It was rhetorical.
You are attempting a distraction technique.
The point of my comment is the obvious distinction between your claim that the Sabbath is/was only for the Jews, whereas you are in DIRECT CONTRADICTION with Jesus Who says it is for EVERYONE. ALL PEOPLE. EVERY WHERE. You can't deny what He says. Well, again, I suppose you
can deny what He says, but whether your denial is based on reality is another thing.
That's funny. You rarely let the Bible speak in its normative sense, but instead prefer to read into it your post modern ideas and moral relativistic personal opinions.
I used your own nonsensical position against you. When I proved from the Bible that your belief was in error you just kicked the can. Again. Nothing new here. Move along!
You just keep waving your hand, fast and furiously, hoping no one will pay any attention to your exposed "not an inkling" premise. Keep waving your hand. It only draws the attention of more people to see the "absolute" failure of your false teachings.
You have yet to reveal anything other than your private, personal, finite and failed opinions. I'm just documenting your failures and attaching them to you so you can't mislead the uninformed.
I don't consider this so much of a false teacher making a false teaching, but more of a blind guide attempting to lead the blind. The reason I say this is because a lot of people make the mistake of attempting to conflate the law with the covenant. A covenant is merely an agreement. God and the Israelites agreed/covenanted that the law should and would be kept. The book of Hebrews says, "God found fault with the people," and then goes on to explain why He found fault. "Because they did not remain faithful to the covenant/agreement." The people made bad promises, saying, "All that the Lord has said we will do and be obedient." That was where the Bible placed the fault.
Bob's position: The perfect God of the Bible made a law which was innately flawed and needed to be rewritten from 613 laws and increased to 1040 in the new agreement.
This position is not only heretical and cultic, but it's absurd. How can you trust in a god who imposed unkeepable laws and punished people for their failure to comply with these impossible to keep rules? But then, it gets worse. This same false god you created is the same one who came up with a new set of laws with 427 additional rules. What makes you suppose that your other jesus is capable of coming up with a new set of rules which isn't going to be as compromised and flawed in the same way as his first set?
Your jesus is not the Jesus of the Bible, which is the Jesus I follow. Your jesus is created in your flawed image.
Jesus says His words will judge you on the last day. You know, those words of His which you're constantly trampling on and insisting don't mean what they clearly say.
Ephesians 5:14-17
Wake up from your sleep, Climb out of your coffins; Christ will show you the light! So watch your step. Use your head. Make the most of every chance you get. These are desperate times!
Don't live carelessly, unthinkingly. Make sure you understand what the Master wants.
This is just an example of how "absolutely" unwilling you are to even stand by your own words. If you can't even accept the words of Jesus and the Bible authors, why would anyone expect that you'd abide by your own words. But the fact is that on a discussion forum you cannot hide from your own words.
With that in mind let's read your nonsense yet again:
When I showed you that God had a man put to death for working on the Sabbath you again just vigorously waved your hand in an attempted dismissal and then changed your premise of what is moral, hoping no one would notice.
Why is it so hard to live by even your own words?
In Matthew 12:37 are some more words of Jesus: "for by your words you will be justified, and
by your words you will be condemned."
Earlier we saw that you will be condemned for the rejection of Jesus's words. In the Matthew text just quoted we see that your own words will also condemn you.
You don't need to worry about me condemning you. I'm merely correcting and rebuking you as the Bible tells me to do, hoping you'll wake up before your probation on this Earth sends you into your final sleep. I can see where your rejection, denials and false teaching are pointing, but I am not your Judge. That's Guy you're words and deeds are revealing you're rejecting.
I pray this helps.
But for the grace of God go I,cyspark
