So you think you can clear this up, huh?Could be Bob that you are misunderstanding the verse given.... as well as the message Ellen White had.
You see, I read 3 John 19-24 and because I understand the 10 are summarized in the 2, there is no conflict with the statements Jesus made about the Sabbath and the other 9. You on the other hand, believe Paul and even John are the arbiters of truth and Jesus must have just forgotten to clarify this point before He sealed the Covenant with His blood.
I'm not quite that delusionary.Yes I can Bob... just because the Israelites didn't grasp the intent of the covenant with them doesn't mean we can't. If God is Love then anything that is from Him is also in love... the 10 Commandments included.
Excellent call!well then that doesn't help your stand if there is only 8 commandments instead of 9 or 10.
No the Sabbath commandment isn't quoted in Heb 4. The word Sabbath appears in most if not all English versions. That however isn't even a reference to the Sabbath.The Sabbath commandment is quoted from multiple times in the NT in Acts, in Hebrews 4 and in Rev 14:7 - but the 3rd commandment never quoted from at all in the NT.
Which is ok because there is no such fluff-rule in the Bible as "whatever is not repeated is to be deleted".
And of course - for all eternity after the cross "from Sabbath to Sabbath shall ALL mankind come before Me to worship" Is 66:23
No wonder the Gospel is preached to gentiles "every Sabbath" in Acts 18:1-5
What would indicate that the Israelites didn't grasp the meaning of the covenant? They knew well what it meant just as you know what the intent of the New Covenant is about. They rebelled, listened to false nations just as you listen to a false prophet. They were led astray. God told them to smite the nations making war against them. They didn't listen and instead married into those peoples thus the beginning of being led down the wrong path. We have warned you that ellen has indeed led you and all Adventism down a wrong path. Even when we quote her writings all you do is go on the attack of us.Yes I can Bob... just because the Israelites didn't grasp the intent of the covenant with them doesn't mean we can't. If God is Love then anything that is from Him is also in love... the 10 Commandments included.
How very sad for you Bob that you harbour such hate in your heart... it's no wonder you can't see God's Love throughout the scriptures.What would indicate that the Israelites didn't grasp the meaning of the covenant? They knew well what it meant just as you know what the intent of the New Covenant is about. They rebelled, listened to false nations just as you listen to a false prophet. They were led astray.

I challenge you to find a verse in the Bible that indicates that the 10 Commandments were about love. God challenged them with the big IF if you love me you will keep my commandments, but he never said the 10 were about love. Your church has taught that to you, but the church didn't get that from the Holy Writ. I am sure ellen taught that, but she was a proven false prophet.
He omitted the Sabbath where he DID PURPOSELY list 9 of the 10 COMMANDMENTS,
well then that doesn't help your stand if there is only 8 commandments instead of 9 or 10.
I'm sorry but you have yet to show proof

It is an unneeded commandment for Christians as they are commanded to love and insulting God isn't love.Wrong again - He never quotes the Ex 20:6 commandment not to take God's name in vain.
It is quoted but not in the context of commanding it, using that logic a lot of thing are mentioned in the New Testament but aren't commanded either are we bound to do ALL of them too? I could make up a long long list of things that people did some of which are sinful too I guess by your logic if sins are listed in the New Testament as someone doing them we must also sin just like they did. There was mention of people trying to circumcise others why aren't you doing that it is listed in Acts also.The Sabbath commandment is quoted from multiple times in the NT in Acts, in Hebrews 4 and in Rev 14:7 - but the 3rd commandment never quoted from at all in the NT.
So why aren't you keeping all 613 or so commands from the OT then? YOU delete those at your own whim while keeping what you choose. It sounds like your church is plenty into fluff-rules.Which is ok because there is no such fluff-rule in the Bible as "whatever is not repeated is to be deleted".
It is idiotic to repost this, of course mankind will one day worship God 24/7/365 one could equate from Monday to Monday and be just as accurate as this scripture is and the word Sabbath is only meant to appeal to Jews who their thinking was ONLY worshiping on the Sabbath Day to show them worship on OTHER days.And of course - for all eternity after the cross "from Sabbath to Sabbath shall ALL mankind come before Me to worship" Is 66:23
Big deal... if I were trying to get the most people to hear me I would choose a busy day and Gentiles interested in God at that time had little choice but to go to the Jews because until Paul and his group got a lot more organized there wasn't many people preaching the Gospel at all with the authority he had (and knowledge).No wonder the Gospel is preached to gentiles "every Sabbath" in Acts 18:1-5
So when are you going to start obeying ALL of the commandments of God in the OT... they aren't repeated in the NT... JUST LIKE THE SABBATH is NOT repeated.... get with it. You've set the standard here for yourself... but not me.So then the point remains - your made-up-rule about deleting whatever is not often-enough-repeated does not even work for the command to not take God's name in vain. It is demonstratably flawed. It is a made-up rule that does not pass the sola-scriptura test.
I just did. I showed your argument is based on a flawed premise.
And I show the 4th commandment quoted in the NT.
And I have shown that for "all eternity after the cross" -- all mankind keeps the Sabbath -- in the New Earth when All mankind are saints.
"the saints KEEP the Commandments of God and their faith in Jesus" Rev 14:12
" that it is EVER commanded of ANYONE " after the cross --
for all eternity after the cross "from Sabbath to Sabbath shall ALL mankind come before Me to worship" Is 66:23
"there REMAINS therefore a SABBATH rest for the people of God" Heb 4
"what matters is KEEPING the Commandments of God" 1 Cor 7:19
of which the 5th commandment is the "FIRST commandment with a promise" Eph 6:2
At least reading the dictionary has some value and merit.It is an unneeded commandment for Christians as they are commanded to love and insulting God isn't love.

I probably won't reply to your reply as I've grown mostly tired of your inane repetition here, adding excessive garbage to posts so as to bore folks into submission of your faulty theology like a badly written supermarket tabloid where the truth is buried so deep that one is best off reading a dictionary than dealing with Ellenites.

well then that doesn't help your stand if there is only 8 commandments instead of 9 or 10.

Yep, just as I expected you to do, go on the attack towards me. Do you have a license to analyze me?How very sad for you Bob that you harbour such hate in your heart... it's no wonder you can't see God's Love throughout the scriptures.
I just comment on what you present Bob... by your fruits, as they say.Yep, just as I expected you to do, go on the attack towards me. Do you have a license to analyze me?
There is nothing sad about hating sin. The sins ol ellen committed are unparalleled in Biblical history except for maybe Joe Smith and a few others that came along during that era like Taz Russell. ellen's writings have been the ruination of countless lives and the glue that keeps otherwise good people brainwashed so that the real truth cannot crack the bond. How sad indeed. Yes, i hate what she did and will continue to expose her whenever I get a chance. Your value of me only fortifies me to continue to help others see the real truth. Thank you very much.
P. S. How would you know what I see in scripture. Why would you even attempt to tell me and others that I cannot see love in scripture. I would never attempt to analyze you or anyone else. That is God's job.
Show us by posting a quote that we may believe. It appears to me either I have a different Bible than you or it doesn't appear. The later is most likely why you didn't provide a quote.Wrong again - He never quotes the Ex 20:6 commandment not to take God's name in vain.
The Sabbath commandment is quoted from multiple times in the NT in Acts, in Hebrews 4 and in Rev 14:7 - but the 3rd commandment never quoted from at all in the NT.
Then the reality is you don't have proof of your claim.Which is ok because there is no such fluff-rule in the Bible as "whatever is not repeated is to be deleted".
Sorry but that isn't Heb 4 or Rev 14. Please try again.And of course - for all eternity after the cross "from Sabbath to Sabbath shall ALL mankind come before Me to worship" Is 66:23
But surely you must read Christians where the word "gentiles" appears. Those two words aren't synonymous.No wonder the Gospel is preached to gentiles "every Sabbath" in Acts 18:1-5
Where?So then the point remains - your made-up-rule about deleting whatever is not often-enough-repeated does not even work for the command to not take God's name in vain. It is demonstratably flawed. It is a made-up rule that does not pass the sola-scriptura test.
I just did. I showed your argument is based on a flawed premise.
And I show the 4th commandment quoted in the NT.
Where? Not in any of the following passages you at least partially quote.And I have shown that for "all eternity after the cross" -- all mankind keeps the Sabbath -- in the New Earth when All mankind are saints.
This isn't in the NT Bob."the saints KEEP the Commandments of God and their faith in Jesus" Rev 14:12
" that it is EVER commanded of ANYONE " after the cross --
for all eternity after the cross "from Sabbath to Sabbath shall ALL mankind come before Me to worship" Is 66:23
Which isn't the 7th day rest."there REMAINS therefore a SABBATH rest for the people of God" Heb 4
Which are... According to I JN 3:23 it isn't the 10 Cs."what matters is KEEPING the Commandments of God" 1 Cor 7:19
This verse has nothing to do with the 4th.of which the 5th commandment is the "FIRST commandment with a promise" Eph 6:2
If one reads the writings of John they easily understand John isn't referring to the 10 Cs with the word commandments.God says that rebellion against His commandments is not loving God -- read 1 John 5:1-3
OK I'll quote I JN 3:23 which clearly shows the commandments of God for the believer aren't found in the law -Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves Him who begot also loves him who is begotten of Him. 2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep His commandments. 3 For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome.
So...Exodus 20:7 is never quoted in the NT nor do we find "remember to keep the 3rd commandment"
Finding a word is a long ways fro a quote. The Greek word translated Sabbath rest isn't the word for or meaning the Sabbath.Heb 4 "There REMAINS therefore a Sabbath rest for the people of God". Another chapter where the 4th commandment is quoted.
I showed conclusive proof by quote you and John are talking about different sets of commandments. BTW its faith of Jesus mistranslated "in" from your version.Rev 14:12 "the saints KEEP the Commandments of God AND their faith in Jesus" and the only commandment quoted in that chapter is the 4th commandment in vs 7.
Nope!!!! it doesn't even by your repeated posting it.The point remains.
No my friend, you commented on me and you know you did. Again, you have no idea what my fruits are. Just because you do not like what I write about belief systems you attack me personally. Why not try to defend what you believe instead.I just comment on what you present Bob... by your fruits, as they say.
Am I your friend Bob? Why couch your response in such a disingenuous manner?No my friend, you commented on me and you know you did. Again, you have no idea what my fruits are. Just because you do not like what I write about belief systems you attack me personally. Why not try to defend what you believe instead.
I harbor no ill will towards anyone. If you choose not to be my friend that is your problem to resolve. I would like to believe we are friends. Just because we adamantly disagree and you insist on telling me things that I am not, doesn't discourage me one bit. We all have hangups and are this side of being perfect. One thing for sure I am not posting on this site to blow sweet accolades in Old covenant law "keepers" ears such as telling you how wonderful the SDA belief system is.Am I your friend Bob? Why couch your response in such a disingenuous manner?
Btw, I don't need to defend anything I believe to you or anyone else on here.... God knows what's what and I'll gladly stand or fall on His judgement.
I think it is best to try and show those who are uncertain about what they believe the truth and leave these hard core adventists to God himself to deal with either in this life or the next one. I've blasted SDA theology often and I'm not ever going to be "friends" with someone whose identity is totally wrapped up in a false belief system to the point of being "in my face" telling me I'm wrong over and over they are no friends of mine. This doesn't mean that they aren't believers in Christ (on some level) perhaps we will all be friends in heaven but Jesus himself told us to shun people that want to lead us astray to the point of abandoning friends and family for Christ.I harbor no ill will towards anyone. If you choose not to be my friend that is your problem to resolve. I would like to believe we are friends. Just because we adamantly disagree and you insist on telling me things that I am not, doesn't discourage me one bit. We all have hangups and are this side of being perfect. One thing for sure I am not posting on this site to blow sweet accolades in Old covenant law "keepers" ears such as telling you how wonderful the SDA belief system is.
I am trying to give you another view, one that I discovered when the blinders were taken off my eyes. So far you have not defended your position and have not even slightly moved me from the simple gospel of the new covenant.
I don't give up easy, so I will continue to try and help you see the true gospel.
Hello Bob.Rom 2
13 for not the hearers of the law are just in the sight of God, but the doers of the law will be justified;
Hello Bob.
Your quotation from the letter to the Romans is simply misguided. You cannot quote from chapter
two of the letter to the Romans, and not consider the context of the later chapters.
