    The Sabbath verses Sunday

    I work with a big picture, an abstract, where God spends 4000 years creating a foundation, the covenant, a house, the kingdom of God. Jesus comes and by fulfilling prophesy confirms the covenant. Jesus authenticates the OT, and the OT authenticates Jesus. Mat 10 is the covenant being renewed...

    The Sabbath verses Sunday

    I do not recognize Hebrews as any more than one side of a debate. Today animal sacrifices would be an afront to God, would deny Christ and His confirming the covenant; but the Law cannot change, otherwise Christ's crucifixion would have no legal status, covenant wise, the covenant would be...

    The Sabbath verses Sunday

    The Law of circumcision was given to Abraham and God has not rescinded any of his Laws; it is my belief hat if God changed any of his Laws, God would disqualify himself. Moses on the other hand, as well as articulating the Law for us, did change law; one obvious is the Law concerning divorce...

    The Sabbath verses Sunday

    <<There is no OT command stating that gentiles must be circumcised to be saved - but that is something that some Christian Jews in the New Testament "made up" according to Acts 15:1-3. You are wrong. It may depend on what you mean by “saved”; there are no commandments outside of the covenant...

    The Sabbath verses Sunday

    I agree with what Bobryan's reply, but I add; the NT contains the epistles of Paul, the next question is who put them there. I believe most Christians confuse the Gospels with the new covenant, which brings into question what the word covenant means to them.

    Are you a Dispensationalist? That would explain a lot. What does the word covenant mean to you, disregarding the words witchcraft origin, but considering the English Law meaning; a form of contract where one party does something on the condition that the other party does something. Gods...

    The Sabbath verses Sunday

    Thank you for enquiring, I am well after a bad night's sleep. As God is one, so the truth is one, but the truth and the lie are not binary, that is, the lie is neither one nor zero, the lie is infinity, countless. The excuses and teachings mankind makes to avoid entering into the covenant with...

    The Sabbath verses Sunday

    I am not sure if you are making an abstract statement or not. I assume you disagree with this, "The sign of the covenant, from man is the seventh day Sabbath, from God it is the bow, even the rainbow." Maybe it is the seventh day you object to, or maybe the issue is to do with grammar and...

    The Sabbath verses Sunday

    I would dispute that the apostles and elders had the authority to change the Law concerning circumcision. But I understand Paul had a method of starting with baby food and over time proceeding to strong meat, and, if a persons faith was weak he would do little, regarding the commandments, if his...

    The Sabbath verses Sunday

    I believe you have responded with a hypothesis or a belief. I note that Luke wrote the history of the apostles work. Some claim that in doing so Luke was trying to reconcile the Pauline Church with the Jerusalem church. There is a new covenant, the one Jeremiah spoke of, for the Last Sheep of...

    The Sabbath verses Sunday

    There were earlier posts where Paul's integrity was questioned, but in the post you replied to it was only the issue of circumcision being discussed. Hypothetically, should Satan came and quoted God incessantly, would God be in agreement with Satan?

    The Sabbath verses Sunday

    You do not seem to be addressing my post that you quote, unless you picked out a portion, like - There is no record of Jesus or the Father agreeing with Paul. One could say Paul is mostly in agreement, regarding technicalities, but Paul is primarily an interpreter of scripture and debater; it is...

    The Sabbath verses Sunday

    I do not understand why you are quoting these verses, which in themselves are very useful, but have nothing to do with Paul assuming the authority to discontinue circumcision. God is referring to the Sinai covenant and adding understanding. The English words are choices made by translators and...

    The Sabbath verses Sunday

    In a legal sense I am a Presbyterian, but not knowing their teaching, I do have a baptismal certificate. If you refer to the Messianic cult, no I am not one of those, I have no knowledge of their teaching. By the dictionary, “of the, inspired by hope or belief in a, messiah.” I am one of those...

    Why the Sabbath shines brighter

    I expect a lot of water has to flow under the bridge yet, including Armageddon, I have to be careful that I do not hope worse will happen.

    The Sabbath verses Sunday

    I admit that I am a poor communicator. My allegiance is to Christ, not to Paul. My comparison was the relation of Mohammad to Christ verses Paul to Christ. Mohammad is more important than Jesus the Messiah in the Koran, Paul is more important in the mind of many Christians. Mohammad has no...

    The Sabbath verses Sunday

    As a line of rhetoric, how is that different to: God through Jesus through Mohammad are all saying the same thing, God's word. You could say Mohammad does not say the same as the God of Israel, and most Mohammedans would agree. Muslims would probably claim that Jews wrote the Bible to suit...

    The Sabbath verses Sunday

    Heretic yes, heretic is when on gets up the nose of the Church, blasphemy no, blasphemy is when one gets up God's nose. You are trying to put words in my mouth. But you are right Paul and John used the same Greek words; and that was a weak argument. I would not accuse John, who also made...
