Read it carefully.

Rom 3
19 Now we know that whatever the Law says, it speaks to those who are under the Law

Who was under the law?

Not the Gentiles and that's for sure.

on the contrary Paul will go on from Acts 13... to Acts 18:4 with "EVERY SABBATH" Gospel preaching in the Synagogue -- as we both know.

Sadly we have "no EVERY week-day-1 Gospel preaching" in the NT... as we both know.


Well, technically we have every day preaching in Acts 19 for two years after they had to leave the synagogue.

Acts 19:8 And he went into the synagogue and spoke boldly for three months, reasoning and persuading concerning the things of the kingdom of God. 9 But when some were hardened and did not believe, but spoke evil of the Way before the multitude, he departed from them and withdrew the disciples, reasoning daily in the school of Tyrannus. 10 And this continued for two years, so that all who dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks.

klute,

By the way, here's the list of synonyms for divination.



But then you already knew that. It just suited your purposes to play ignorant.
Divination and witchcraft are separate sins.

“When you enter the land which the Lord your God gives you, you shall not learn to imitate the detestable things of those nations. There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, one who uses divination, one who practices witchcraft, or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer, or one who casts a spell, or a medium, or a spiritist, or one who calls up the dead.” (Deuteronomy 18:9-11)

They are mentioned separately, they are not the same sin.

Easy to explain, Paul in the early days of Christianity, had the habit of going to the synagogues to preach the gospel. Soon though, Paul would abandon this practice and concentrate on the Gentiles.
Because that was his calling. Peter, James and the rest still concentrated on the Jews.

Yes I agree.

Yet the reason Paul left the synagogues was that the Jews continually rejected the gospel.

But when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul began devoting himself completely to the word, solemnly testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ. But when they resisted and blasphemed, he shook out his garments and said to them, “Your blood be on your own heads! I am clean. From now on I will go to the Gentiles.” Then he left there and went to the house of a man named Titius Justus, a worshiper of God, whose house was next to the synagogue. (Acts 18:5-7)

Gentiles who were not proselytes to Judaism were not in the synagogues. Even down to this day, Gentiles do not attend synagogues, only Jewish proselytes attend.

And, we have examples from scripture that show Paul taught the Jews and the Gentiles the same thing, the same Gospel.

Are there no mods on this forum????
Since Adventists here are way too nice and willing to let ant-Sabbath posters take over I'll just do a quick copy-paste for our fellow Christians visiting this sub.
This is from the stickied statement of purpose:
1) It is not debate or apologetics (defense).

Those who disagree with a congregation’s Statement of Faith will not discuss reasons for or against any subject being discussed on this sub-forum. This includes questions that essentially are rebuttal or argumentative in nature. Those who disagree will not engage in theological discussions that defend their particular point of view on scriptural, theological, doctrinal, social, or political issues.

2) It is not answering questions or teaching.

Only a member of the congregational forum may give answers to and instruct on doctrinal questions. While there may be many very good ideas on the subject from non-members, they may not give instruction. Earnest questions are always welcome, from anyone.

3) What Fellowship is:

Essentially fellowship is defined as the discussion of topics of association, of companionship - i.e. discussions of things like friends, family, work..... these topics are fellowship. Posts that offer friendship would certainly be described as fellowship. Also no matter the discussion, messages posted to this board must be polite.

Mod hat on
Thread has gone thru a cleanup
do not post flames/goads as they may be actioned
Carry on
Sorry, just saw this after reading many tedious anti-Sabbath posts! I've gone to many different churches and never thought to start telling fellow visitors why I thought the church I visited was wrong for various beliefs but apparently no one thinks twice to do that to Adventists. It's depressing when you're trying to see the best in fellow Christians.
