MEMO
We have too many people working in the fruit inspection department. We will need to downsize that department. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
On the other hand, we have a serious shortage of workers in the fruit production department. However, this is a difficult and demanding job. The pay is lousy, and the hours are long, and there is no vacation time or sick leave available. This position requires dedicated workers who are willing to make sacrifices.
On the other hand, we are very proud of our retirement plan.
If you are interested, please get in touch with us right away. We are open and available to talk with you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Thank you:
God & Son Inc.

Frankly, I do not see any love on either side of this dang fool debate.
I see a lot of sarcasm, I see a lot of accusations, I see a lot of "bear traps"...and I a lot of "holier than thou" behavior.
Every now and then, I see outright lies intended to blind the other side to the real issue.
I see misquoted verses taken out of context...a lot of that...
And I see a lot of self righteousness.
I see two "camps"...each one patting each other on the back when a "score" is made. I'll bet folks are gathering "reps" by the ton in here, but they certainly are not earned reps.
What I see sickens me to my heart...which is why I'm trying so hard to reach both sides with Christ's true gospel...which is love.
I'm beginning to think it's a wasted effort...am I casting pearls before swine, here?
Please tell me that I am not!!!


Please, Heavenly Father, help us all here to get closer to YOU!
Help us all to stop trying to be "right" no matter what it takes,
and help us instead to honestly search for YOUR truth.
Amen.

BR, I'm I suppose to respond about your signature in every thread?

Did you even read the OP for this thread?

The idea is to stay on the subject of the OP.

I can't help it if those who oppose it have no evidence in favor of their arguments against it and so choose to oppose even the majority of pro-sunday scholarship in their responses.

If you don't like admitting to the details in the 7 points that the pro-sunday sources admit to -- then how about the Bible texts that follow in that OP?

At some point you need to advance your POV.

in Christ,

Bob

The huge issue is none of these Sunday sources we see are advocating a true Saturday Sabbath

yes they do from Eden to the cross. Read the OP details and you will see.

Point 7 is their "edit/change" the Law of God argument - and then "retain all Ten Commandments" -- something you reject. And the OP says I reject it as well because there can be no "edit".

I differ with them on 1 of their 7 - you differ with all 7.

So no way to blame it all on SDAs.

which means using them only confuses things

On the contrary it clearly points out that the anti-Sabbath arguments on this area of the board conflict not only with seventh day Sabbath keeping Christians - they also fly in the face of the majority of pro-Sunday scholarship on this subject.

"inconvenient" maybe - but not "confusing things".

I contend that Christians who do things half wrong (half right too) are not an example for "doing right" on any account, but instead an example of doing wrong.

Your opposition to the majority of the pro-sunday Christians scholarship "noted".

My point is that you cannot blame all that on SDAs.

in Christ,

Bob

We should c&p each time this comes up by him. He thinks if he hammers long enough we will submit to that lie. What he is doing is called spamming.

False accusation and ignoring the details in the OP is not the most compelling form of discussion.

Details matter.

Stick to the topic -- respond to the points listed in the OP -- and if you have a case - make it. ... or select a thread where you do have a point to make.

in Christ,

Bob

You can't have it both ways either they support the Sabbath or they don't and if they do support it then you should not have any problem with them keeping it on Sunday the way they do. The fact is that changing things to suit yourself doesn't support anything if it is done wrong enough for those who do support it to condemn you for it. You condemn all "Sunday Keepers" so the fact is calling it "keeping the Sabbath" or not is irrelevant to the fact that I have seen you and other SDA and other Sabbath promoters group them all together as wrong. Now you say some of them are partially right and side with them? This is a laughable argument. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day do you agree with one of those too as the correct time?
On the contrary it clearly points out that the anti-Sabbath arguments on this area of the board conflict not only with seventh day Sabbath keeping Christians - they also fly in the face of the majority of pro-Sunday scholarship on this subject.

My argument isn't anti-Sabbath at all, the pro-Grace crowd doesn't condemn folks for their (voluntary) keeping of the Saturday Sabbath just like we don't condemn those who claim to "keep" Sunday as a Sabbath or not (in your words). If anything we are less what you consider "anti-Sabbath" than you are anti-grace because grace allows one to decide and doesn't make it contingent upon salvation while Sabbath keepers here argue such that Sabbath Keeping is far from a personal choice but rather a mandate for all Christians.
Your opposition to the majority of the pro-sunday Christians scholarship "noted".

My point is that you cannot blame all that on SDAs.

My opposition is to your blatant abuse of the writings of those people mentioned and your turning a blind eye to any arguments that logically refute them plus your playing both sides of the fence here in that in one instance you claim these people support a Saturday Sabbath then in another instance you group them in with those who do not support a Saturday Sabbath and condemn them. The fact of the matter is truly in your eyes they are wrong and condemned. Being half wrong you don't condemn them less that other "Sunday Keepers". I claim the stopped clock is your standard of truth in the matter.

I wonder how many people realize that it was the Catholic church that changed the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday?
Not that it matters a tick...well, unless you are concerned with such details as God's actual preference.
Sunday was originally dedicated to another god.
Neither the so-called "sabbatarians" nor the not-so-gracious Sunday pew warmers are really concerned about worshipping God...at least, not from what I see in these threads. It looks a whole lot like their major concern is being "right".

So, where can I find those Thursday-keeping miners someone posted about? It sure would be nice to talk to some people whose main concern is loving God and loving one another...

"Angel get off that soapbox and get back into the house." I'm sorry to say, but If you're nuetral in these debates it's because you dont know what to believe.
This side of the forum is to discuss issues that rubs. (Sabbath and the Law)

When one side intentionally misrepresent what the other side of an argument is saying, it does create the kind animousity you're talking about.

You're prime suspect #1 and I have the scars to prove it. You've ran off many in the grace camp with your crybabythug style.

For years BobRyan, Listed, Shinshon, and many others have been here at GT going in circles with dialog.
Now here you come laying the smackdown on the grace camp.
The truth is, if you articulated what we're saying, this place would be different. If you claim that someone is taking something out of context, why not post their comment next to the scripture so we can all be edified. :doh:

You must have missed the dialog I recently had with one of the sabbatarians...a gentleman who calls himself "Elder111" in another thread.
Yes, I am "neutral", in that I think both sides are full of cow patties.
What gets me is how both sides will lay traps for the other...trying to get a rise out of them, so that they can report their misbehavior when they respond.
Like you are doing now, talking about my "crybabythug style".
This is not Christian behavior, no matter what day you go to church. Whether you're a Sunday Christian or a "sabbatarian", if you mistreat other people...and especially your own brothers and sisters in the faith!...then you are disobeying Christ's very clear commandment to love one another as He loves us.
Joh 13:34A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
Joh 13:35By this shall allmenknow that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another
I see there where He says that men will know His disciples by their love.
Are you His disciple?
If you say "yes", then I will ask you where is your love?

Yes, and I hope that I might "run off" everyone who uses such tactics...because you don't make your point by belittling and mocking someone who disagrees with you. It is wrong, and mature Christians ought to know better than to sink to such low behavior.

Reporting.
I'm told I'm "banned" till I talk to staff.
So, here I am...

I'm not going to go into details with you...but trust me...you do have a couple of "report monkeys" in your precious "grace camp".:sadd:

Crib, I have survived seven teenagers, and all their friends. I have survived the invasion of "The Insane Clown Posse"...and if you don't know who they are, God bless you. I have survived rotten boyfriends and trampy girlfriends, and jealous husbands and trashy wives. I have lived through fourteen grandkids...three of which God took home while they were yet tiny babies. I now have four...or is it five? great grandkids.:puff:

Do you think I do not know what sarcasm is?:cool1:
What you said was that I ran off several members of your club with my "crybabythug" style. I'm not a playpretty, like the sabbatarian gang you're used to. I realize that. :satisfied:

But that wasn't a "joke"...that was a serious charge.:aarh:

Not that it matters a tick. .


Christ said in Mark 7:6-13 that it matters a tick (and more so) when the traditions of men invalidate the Commandment of God - as Christ calls it "the Word of God".

And what you are talking about is point number 7 in that OP list of points promoted by the majority of pro-sunday keepers regarding the idea of bending-editing-wrenching one of the commandments in favor of man-made tradition.

Very much an on-subject, on topic post.

Thanks!

in Christ,

Bob

My point is that you cannot blame all that on SDAs.

=============================================

You can't have it both ways either they support the Sabbath or they don't

1. Read the OP.

2. They claim they support the Sabbath commandment and that it still applies to the saints today.

3. I state in the OP that differ with them on point 7.

on this thread - in this discussion - details matter.



and if they do support it then you should not have any problem with them keeping it on Sunday the way they do.

Why?

What evidence do you have that I should not object to their point 7 -- when you in fact object to ALL 7 of their points?

How is that logical on your part?



Now you say some of them are partially right

Indeed the fact that they are wrong on point 7 does not mean they are wrong on points 1-6 where I strongly agree.

The fact that the Catholics are wrong on purgatory does not mean they are also wrong about the fall of man, the trinity or that sin exists or that there will be judgment in the future.

This is not a laughable argument it is an incredibly obvious point.


Even a stopped clock is right twice a day do you agree with one of those too as the correct time?

You just shot your own argument in the foot.

Thanks.


My argument isn't anti-Sabbath at all,

You said God's Law was abolished. You argue against the Sabbath Commandment in almost every post.

the pro-Grace crowd doesn't condemn folks for their (voluntary) keeping of the Saturday Sabbath
The pro-sunday groups listed in the OP would consider themselves in the "pro-grace crowd" (for the most part) and would still argue that it is a sin to break the Sabbath Commandment as it is binding on all mankind (in their words) not just on the saints.... from Eden to this very day.


My opposition is to your blatant abuse of the writings of those people mentioned
That is a false accusation - and you provide no evidence at all in support of it.

Merely repeating a false accusation is not a funny kind of proof making it true.

You need actual facts.


and your turning a blind eye to any arguments that logically refute them plus your playing both sides of the fence here in that in one instance you claim these people support a Saturday Sabbath
1. They say they support Saturday Sabbath for all mankind from Eden to the cross. I have the actual data, evidence, proof of that fact.

2. If you have a shred of evidence to the contrary - provide it for us.

Your accusations need something like actual fact.



then in another instance you group them in with those who do not support a Saturday Sabbath
They themselves argue for point 7 in the OP which even you oppose.

How can you the blame me for opposing them on that same point?

Rhetoric only goes so far -- you need some actual fact in your accusation that holds up.

================================

having said all of that - - at least you are talking about the subject of the OP -- and I consider it a step forward.

in Christ,

Bob

Though we seldom agree - I do strongly affirm the idea of backing up an accusation with actual facts - because false accusations alone are a dime a dozen.

BobRyan said:
Here is an example of claims made by the pro-Sunday sources - and 6 of the 7 are actually correct according to the Bible!.


Yes that is right - 6 of the 7 are actually common ground between Sabbath keeping and Sunday keeping Christians.


1. That the Sabbath Commandment is first given to mankind in Gen 2:1-3

When someone begin a thread with a big lie, it reminds me of the 9/11 attack on the twin towers. I really don't care what your scholars have to say on a matter, if they're contradicting what God's word reveal. We have to stick to God's word.

SDA scholars often argue that because God blessed and sanctified the seventh day, from that time the Sabbath was kept. Now, you're telling us that A Sabbath commandment was given to mankind per Gen 2:1-3? Where's you evidence of that.

:234: #77 Jesus my point forward and rear/guard told the Jews; John 7:22 But you work on the Sabbath, too, when you obey Moses’ law of circumcision. (Actually, this tradition of circumcision began with the patriarchs, long before the law of Moses.)

Wisdom tells us that Jesus made it clear that circumcision was passed down from the fathers, (not Sabbath) This is the reason why a boy will be circumcised when the 8th day lands on the Sabbath.

Crib: That scripture is a swish, proving that Sabbath was not given before Moses. That point is reemphasized by the wording and when God first speak the Sabbath commandment.
Bob I want some feedback to my response on #1.

When someone begin a thread with a big lie,

When someone posts false accusation after false accusation you can tell because they offer no data, no evidence, no proof... they just repeat the empty false accusation.

The whole point of the OP was to compare the majority of even pro-sunday scholarship on their 7 points to the various anti-Sabbath vs pro-Sabbath views here.

I really don't care what your scholars have to say on a matter
It was already stated that you would oppose their 7 points while I oppose only one of them.

Therefore you proved your own false accusation to be false.

How can that satisfy you??

Why keep doing it??

SDA scholars often argue that because God blessed and sanctified the seventh day, from that time the Sabbath was kept. Now, you're telling us that A Sabbath commandment was given to mankind per Gen 2:1-3? Where's you evidence of that.

In the OP I tell you that even the majority of pro-Sunday scholarship agrees with that basic Bible point. Thus your "attempt" to reduce it to "SDA scholars" alone was debunked post #1. (no wonder you are so anxious to avoid the point of the OP)

Christ affirms it in Mark 2:27.

God affirms it in Ex 20:11.

And it is explicitly for "all mankind" as even the OT shows in Is 66:23.

Therefore not only are the saturday Sabbath people right on this point - but even the majority of pro-sunday scholarship "get the point".

While (as stated in the OP) those at war with God's Sabbath commandment oppose all 7 of those points.

in Christ,

Bob

So true, but data can be manipulated to present questionable evidence as proof. Where should we look to find out where Sabbath and the ten commandments were first given?

Dude, say whatever you like......
The word of God is truth.... The words of man are what's false in you OP.
These same scriptures you post are all SDA embellishments of keywords. We will never agree on what they actually mean.
When your first point contradicts God word your flight cant get off the ground.

I'm not having it.
