  • 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 apply to Christians today?

Jesus fulfilled all the commandments including "do not take God's name in vain".

Fulfill is not a synonym for "delete"

Were we simply "not supposed to notice?"
Strawman. No one made such an argument. Fulfilled means complete not delete.

Not true.

Adam did not "take God's name in vain"
Gen 6-7 shows that even the distinction between CLEAN vs UNCLEAN animals we observed before the flood
Irrelevant. No sabbath here.
Gen 4 shows that the law against Murder declaring it to be sin, was known and enforced before the flood.
Again, irrelevant. No sabbath here.
The Sabbath commandment itself points directly at Gen 2:2-3 for its origin.
No one read Gen. 2:2-3 until God gave the tablets of stone to Moses in the 15th century BCE.
Mark 2:27 Jesus points at Gen 1-2 speaking of both the "making of the Sabbath" for mankind, and the "making of mankind"
No. That is you reading your pet doctrine into the text. Jesus holds ultimate authority over the sabbath.

Irrelevant. No sabbath here.

And no command saying "Do not take God's name in vain" n Gen 1-10 either

By not following the point from the very start you miss the entire post

Gen 2 has the Sabbath as even the Sabbath commandment of Ex 20:8-11 explicitly states in vs 11.

The point remains.

Strawman. No one has argued against the 3rd commandment.

The point does not remain. No one kept the sabbath before Moses. There is no verse showing this. If you have one then by all means post it.

Sadly, many people do believe what is written on the internet and teachings of man over the teachings/commandments of God. Its what we were warned would happen.

2 Tim 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; 4 and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.

Jesus is the Truth John 14:6
All His commandments are Truth Psa 119:151
His Word is Truth John 17:17
His Truth sets us free John 8:32

God placed His seal of the living God that claims His name (Lord) Title (Creator) and Territory (Heaven and Earth) in the Ten Commandments and in the 4th commandment Exo20:11 and tells us in the end times this is the God we are to worship Rev14:7 only God can remove His seal and He never did, it is His written and spoken Testimony Exo31:18. Unless we are sealed by God, there is only one other option. All God wants is to spend holy time with His children to bless us Isa56:2 and sanctify us Eze20:12 and to be our God Eze20:20 sadly so many reject this for mans traditions and their own sanctification Isa66:17, they want to do this their way instead of Gods. Just like Adam and Eve in the garden, just like those tested in the wilderness. Heb3:8 Heb 4:6 Eze 20:15-16 Heb4:11


Mark 7:And in vain they worship Me,
Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’
8 For laying aside the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men

Happy Sabbath my friends! God's True Lords Day He claimed in His own Words Isa58:13. Instead of fighting this for some odd reason pray to God and ask His help in obeying Him. It is a moral issue. Love and worship to God is moral and worship according to Jesus is through obedience to God's commandments, not mans. Mark7:7-13 Mat15:3-14 John14:15 Isa66:23 Heb5:9 whoever we obey is who we serve/worship Rom6:16 even if we don't think we are doing so, but its the direction we are heading and our decisions we make, leads us in the path we are heading and one day our decisions will be sealed Rev22:11

I tend to agree with the article. (So glad that it's okay to wear poly/cotton clothing though! :))
You will not find anything to do with fabrics in the Ten Commandments. :)

The first 4 commandments show how to love God and the last 6 how we love our neighbor. They cover so much more than people realize Psa 119:96 just as Jesus taught from this same unit Mat5:19-30

Why God's name is in each of these commandments and the 4th commandment tells us the God we are to worship Exo20:11 Rev14:7 and obey in the first three commandments and contains His living seal for His written and spoken Testimony Exo31:18

Exo 20:1 And God spoke all these words, saying:
2 I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of [a]bondage.
3 “You shall have no other gods before Me.
4 “You shall not make for yourself a carved image—any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; 5 you shall not bow down to them nor [b]serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting[c] the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, 6 but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.
7 “You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.
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.

The last 6 how to love our neighbor Rom13:9 For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” [b]“You shall not bear false witness,” “You shall not covet,” and if there is any other commandment, are all summed up in this saying, namely, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
