TrustAndObey said:Here's an idea, how about you don't assume anything about me and I'll show you the same respect?
Here is the problem. What I said was quoted by you:TrustAndObey said:You quoted me specifically (your post #18), that took it out of the realm of "general" comment in my opinion. You specified "you", meaning you were talking to ME, that again took it out of the realm of "general."
I did not misinterpret what you said, and I am telling you now that I have not stopped studying and I never will.
First I spoke to you and then I made the general statement. When you commented you said that I made a general statement and then I addressed you. The two accounts are different. It is obvious what I did. I was clearly speaking about "the number of truth-seeking Christians," using your declaration that you would no longer engage in this particular discussion as an example.by me said:It's a pity because you have woefully misinterpreted that passage concerning the law being added because of transgression. I am amazed at the number of truth-seeking Christians who prefer to stop studying an issue because it messes up the neat package they have already accepted.
payattention said:When you said you would bow out of the discussion because of something with two other posters you gave yourself as much credit as you deserved.
The issue of the feasts is settled by the cross of Christ, whcih also settled the issue of the Levitical priesthood. My point is simple. There is as much authority to extend the feasts beyond the cross as there is to extend the authority of the Levitical system and its support system of tithing beyond the cross. We have no authority to separate the tithing system from the Levitical priesthood. To do so would be to challenge God's authority.
TrustAndObey said:Well it's the same forum, just different names used by posters in it.
I wonder who will jump to my defense here and claim that you assumed that I do not have spiritual discernment.honorthesabbath said:Let us not forget that the Aaronic priesthood was temporary, but the Priesthood of Christ is eternal; prefigured by that of Melchisedec. Tithing was a principle way before Aarons Levites. This is one reason that when Christ was admonishing the priests about tithing so carefully and yet ignoring the weightier matters of the law, that He didnt then tell them that tithing was soon to endbecause it wasnt. The Levitical priesthood was about to endbut CHRISTS HIGH priesthood was about to beginand His church, would need financing just as the church of old did. Read carefully Hebrews 7, it clarifies this issue. And pray for spiritual discernment.

Again, you are also confusing church support with the issue of tithing as many other have. The fact is that under the NT regime God claims all as His. I would also point out that in the church we are all priests which presents an interesting dilemma. How seriously do we wish to take the Bible?
HoneyDew said:Sounds good to me. I think we all forget as we post that we really don't know each other. We are all in a sort of relationship here on this board, but it is limited in its scope and we should be more mindful to ask for clarification instead of assuming. Assuming is not really a bad thing -- it is a shortcut, but we should be more careful.

TrustAndObey said:Here's a quick lesson in English...when you start a paragraph, your first sentence is the topic of that paragraph and everything else in the paragraph should support the very first statement. Therefore, if a paragraph begins with "you" the rest of the paragraph should be aimed at the same "you."
I think he said somebody may claim you did. Looks like he was wrong. LOLhonorthesabbath said:Did I say that YOU didn't have spiritual discernment?? Now how did you come to THAT conclusion? "Oh why, oh why, am I constantly being misunderstood"??
Sometimes the topic sentence of a paragraph is in the middle, and sometimes at the end. I think you called that match too soon. I don't know nothing about theology but I know something about English Composition.SassySDA said:Game, set, MATCH
