Do Protestants believe in the Ten Commandments?

(it really is a lot of work trying to talk to Protestants).

Well we aren't trying to be difficult, we just assumed you wanted to discuss this with us. So that's what we were doing, discussing. :)

Oh, it absolutely does mean going to church. Jesus did not say 'KEEP EVERY DAY THE SABBATH HOLY". He said "REMEMBER TO KEEP HOLY THE SABBATH DAY". One day. That's all he wants.

Erm...no.

He wants considerably more than one day.

He wants our whole lives.

What we do in our church meetings in our church buildings for a couple of hours a week is a very very tiny part of that. It's an important part of it - as the writer of the letter to the Hebrews reminds us, we shouldn't give up meeting together - but it is only a part.

And in answer to your original question, I do my best to keep every day I live holy to the Lord, and to live in a manner befitting that - including, but not limited to, meeting with my fellow Christians on Sunday morning for a couple of hours.

And I realise this is repeating what others have said, but a.) "Remember the Sabbath and keep it holy" isn't the same as "Remember the Sabbath and attend mass on it", and b.) The Sabbath is technically Saturday (or really technically from sundown on Friday to sundown on Saturday) - the early Christians adopted Sunday as the day on which they met for fellowship and teaching, but that doesn't make it the same thing as the Sabbath.

David.

what the heck did jeans have to do with anything??? I am SO amused by this thread. I found it hysterical! Several people answered the question..yet it wasn't good enough...and when confronted with the truth, dear Bella got upset! DUH! Going to church doesn't make one a christian anymore than sitting in a garage will make you a car! YES, I DO go to church...YES, I DO believe in the 10 commandments..just to answer your question...ALL days are holy if we are living a holy life to GOD!! Think about that one for a while.

wearing Jeans? Does God look at the outward part of man or does God look at the inward part of a man? We can all dress nice and look our best but if our hearts are far from the Lord then what good would that do us?


I believe God Prefers me to wear Holy wranglers with nice clean t-shirt. But then again when I wear Levis my prayers get answered quicker. :scratch:

jk

^_^

Blessing to All !!!

So, if someone cannot afford nice clothes to attend church, they shouldn't attend at all...? :scratch:

I missed the part where Christ said all of the elect were rich in worldly goods. That certainly explains Peter and John fishing in designer robes. How could I have missed it before? :doh:

There are a lot of wise guys on this thread...not surprised. My friends, I DO NOT wear jeans to church out of RESPECT for my Lord. I dress every Sunday very nice. I wouldn't be caught dead in jeans in church. You know, Guy doud the Protestant turned Catholic was the one who said his church was "blue jeans preferred". Even he saw the Holy Catholic church and it's members dressed mostly in suits and ties, and nice clothing. Again, it is called RESPECT. Get it?

Perhaps you should take some of your own advice when you talk to your fellow bretherin.

And wow, you dresss nice for church?

Big whoop.

Perhaps you'd like to have a go at me for dying my hair black instead of keeping it the natural colour God created my hair with. Maybe I'm "disrespecting" Him.

Please, God doesn't care about your outward appearance when your insides are full of rotting flesh and bones (Matthew 23:27-28).

I very much see the Pharisitical spirit within you, Bella.
