    Old Covenant -- vs -- New Covenant - and the same moral law of God in both

    As we all know - "old covenant" was given in fact to Adam as "Obey and Live" But when it comes to OT Israel at Sinai -- Paul says the "Gospel was preached to THEM (Israel at Sinai) - just as it was to US also " Heb 4:1 Yet Sinai was not an "individual" covenant (and the New Covenant is) . In...

    Alabama’s Ten Commandments Amendment

    Read about it HERE. I first saw this on some of the news stations that post on Facebook. The comments that followed were expected: “That’s unconstitutional!” “Freedom from/of religion!” Wait. Freedom of Religion? God is not religion. Of all the things God said He was: Wonderful, Counselor...

    A "pictorial" Application Of Proverbs 29:18

    As I was reading Proverbs 29:18 (Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepth the law, happy is he.) I created this picture in my mind as this verse could be applied to those news stories of removing/wanting to remove the display of the 10 commandments from public sites...

    This IS the LOVE of God - that we KEEP His Commandments

    This is what the Bible actually says on the subject. 2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and observe His commandments. 3 For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments; and His commandments are not burdensome. 1 John 5:2-3 IF you Love Me - KEEP My...

    TEN commandments = Commandments of God = moral Law of God

    God's TEN Commandments are included in what the Bible calls the "Commandments of God" (So then they are not the only parts of the OT that are included as the "Commandments of God" - but they are one of the laws included) ============================= KEEP the Commandments - God's Ten...

    Dealing with Objectors to the Ten Commandments of God

    Just because someone emphasizes the importance of keeping the Ten Commandments of God, it doesn't mean he or she is in bondage to a salvation by works theology. The nonsense of accusing people of being legalistic for being in favor of keeping God's Ten Commandments, needs to stop. Instead of...

    Jesus' commandments - opposed to His Fathers Commandments? - Really?

    You posted But it is the very start of your post where you make a key mistake. That is the most extreme contradiction of the claims of Christ in the Gospel of John - that I have ever seen!! John 14 9 Jesus *said to him, “Have I been so long with you, and yet you have not come to know Me...

    Accept Christ's Word in Mark 7:6-13 - or reject it??

    Notice what Jesus said about the obligation of others - when it comes to the "Commandment of God" -- the "Word of God" and "Moses said" -- in Mark 7:6-13 Mark 7 7 Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. 8 For laying aside the Commandment of God, ye...

    Stoning someone to death (punishment in the Bible)

    Why were people stoned to death, even though the 6th commandment says Thou Shalt Not Kill?

    Seventh-day Adventist affirm God's Ten Commandments - who else does?

    I am as motivated as anyone else to promote the benefits of the Seventh-day Adventist church as I show here -- Aug 9, 2005 #1 But I freely admit that we have many non-SDAs on this section of CF that keep the Bible Sabbath AND that boldly state that they affirm all TEN of the TEN Commandments...
