• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

Do the Ten Commandments still apply under the new covenant today?

Add Psalm 111 to those supporting that the 10 Commandments should still be honoured-Sorry if Psalm 111 has been added already but the thread is quite long.

But look here- (Hebrews 10:25). "Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching."

Jesus would attend the synagogue on the Sabbath to worship his Father as was custom (Luke 4:16-21). The perfect example.

“All his commandments. They stand for ever and ever; they are done in truth and equity”. (Psalm 111)

Amen! And the Sabbath continues in this same assembly in the New Heaven and New Earth Isa 66:23 just as it was on earth for the apostles decades after the Cross following in the example set forth by Jesus. Acts 13:42, Acts 13:44, Acts 15:21 Acts 18:4 etc commanded by God Lev 23:3. Thankfully God still has a remnant that follows this same pattern set forth by Jesus Himself from one Sabbath to another now. All is invited every Sabbath. :heartpulse:

It's tied to the modern concept of judicial branch of a government. The entity is responsible for interpretation of laws (which are made by a legislative branch). Jesus was accused of not obseving the Sabbath. However Jesus is the Lord of Sabbath, it means Jesus owns the right of interpreting what Sabbath could mean. It doesn't supersede the works of salvation such as preaching the gospel.

God also knows beforehand that among the billions of Christians in history, the mass amount of them don't observe Sabbath to its full. In the New Covenant it's not part of any criteria of salvation. It doesn't determine whether one is saved or not. It's thus no longer part of the New Covenant, or else it may be an even more controversial topic and making more noise and distraction from what truly concern our salvation.

Why He used the word "Remember" on the 4th commandment, because He knew most would forget and start doing something different on a day that is not a commandment of God, not a day God sanctified, but its for works Exo 20:9 and not the Holy Day of the Lord thus saith the Lord Isa 58:13 and not the day that continues on in God's perfect plan Isa 66:23 just like at Creation Exo 20:11, before man listened to another voice instead of God's. Sadly not a lot has changed.

Lets not forget the majority in the Scriptures has never been faithful to God. God never changed His moral values Exo 20:1-17 Psa 119:172 Psa 119:151 Isa 56:1-2 to suit man, and He is not going to again. Mat 7:21-23 Mat 7:13-14. Jesus said His Second Coming will be like the days of Noah. Sadly the majority were not faithful, but a small remnant was. Why He is calling us out of rebellion, which is sin (breaking God's law) and unbelief if we hear His voice Heb 3:7-9 Rev 18:4 before its too late Rev 22:11
