• 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.

  • 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.
