  • 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.

An attempt to eliminate God.

Nothing here indicates this was the commandments or laws given to Moses.
What about Sara in Egypt? I believe you would agree that that would have been a situation of Adultery as well as with Joseph. How did they know? I am sure you know of other examples, unless you want we to show all of them, not only in reference to the law of adultery but the other laws of the Ten Commandments also.

While Moses clearly says the law was not given to anyone prior to Sinai. You have an irreconcilable problem.
What do you mean? Is it that there was no law against idolatry, murder and things like homosexuality? God was totally unfair to Sodom then! Indeed what were they guilty of? Why condemn a man for what he was totally unaware of? This is not the same God who made a way of escape for persons that killed unknowingly? Num. 35:15 These six cities shall be a refuge, both for the children of Israel, and for the stranger, and for the sojourner among them: that every one that killeth any person unawares may flee thither.

The premise that it was not written before so it did not exist is a faults one. Did they not know about Adam and Abraham, Sara and Rebecca? So why write about them!

Once again, the presence of any precept in one time or place does not in any way portend the presence of an entire series of laws from another time and place which happens to carry the same precept.

Nearly every legal system in history forbade murder: this doesn't mean they all kept a Sabbath.

Your logic goes against you in that they knew about people but didn't write about them with regards to the law.

Are you trying to entice a confession they had the law against the words of Moses?

We are dealing with God!!!! Does God change????????? Is our God seen as a God with no laws, then changes His mind and says, here are some laws and then again. look forget those laws. Is that the picture of God describe in our bibles???? What a tangle web we weave!

+It is not a confession but a fact! Moses is not saying there was no law, How else would Joseph say that He could not sin against God! Because the woman was too beautiful

Oh! So with Joseph would be in regards of what? Peanuts! Why was it written?????
Tim. 3:
16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

God Himself does not change, but He certainly requires different things of different people.

Have you marched around Jericho lately?

It is certainly important to see the impossible standard to which we would be enslaved without Christ!

By the implication of this post, I can assume you keep each precept of the old Law to a T, right? Ritual or otherwise? It's all equally part of "all scripture" after all...

Did Joseph say he kept the Sabbath? No. As far as the scripture quoted here I'm pretty much unimpressed with most adventists in these threads how they ignore scriptures they themselves quote to try and lambast those who disagree with their twisted doctrine.

Oh, get a grip.
  • Moses specified the Ten Commandments didn't exist prior to his own generation (Deuteronomy 5:2-3).
  • Paul testified of the span of 430 years between Abraham and the Law (Galatians 3:16-17).
  • Paul also testified sin existed before the Law did (Romans 5:13).
It isn't as if this hasn't been shown to you at least a hundred times since you joined CF.

And by different posters. Maybe it is more wide spread then Elder thinks.
