Ah man, you mean if the law hadn't said that killing other people was wrong, you'd still think it was okay to kill people? Wowzer. Paul/Saul would gladly say he thought it was okay to kill Christian's. Let's move forward though. God's law is good. Holy.
Nice. I thought you might have been against God's law. It is true, the law of God is against sinners. The law of God also happens to be mercy. The law of God is a 2 step forward process.
Where does the law promote mercy and how is it mercy?Nice. I thought you might have been against God's law. It is true, the law of God is against sinners. The law of God also happens to be mercy. The law of God is a 2 step forward process.
If this is true, why were all the nations suppose to look to Jerusalem? -He doesn't have the disease of "Ellen White Brain." "The Law" does not mean only "The Ten Commandments." Plus the Epistles of Paul point out many different areas of sin for Christians, without ever once reenacting the Ten Commandments.
Just because the Jewish Ten Commandments became obsolete along with all of the other Mosaic Law does NOT mean that Christians do NOT have a source that describes what "sin" means for them.
I know this concept is extraordinarily difficult to grasp, but while the Nation of Israel was operating with the Mosaic Law, ALL of the Empires during the same time period had stringent prohibitions on Murder, Theft, Lying and so on. The Ten Commandments were never given to the Grecian Empire, The Babylonian Empire, the Roman Empire and the Persian Empire. Yet they still managed to prohibit nearly everything in the Ten Commandments.
How can this be?
That the Ten Commandments were never meant to be universal to all peoples in all times could not be more obvious. Even within the areas covered by the Mosaic Law, the Noahide Commandments covered the Gentiles living among the Israelites. Acts 15 makes it plain that the Noahide Laws were NOT repealed upon the obsolescence of the Mosaic Law.
If this is true, why were all the nations suppose to look to Jerusalem? -
That is not what I said, is it?Just go ahead and name one Empire in existence during the time that the Ten Commandments were in force in ancient Judaea that were also given the Ten Commandments.
Should be easy for you to do, since you quote scriptures that said it was going to happen that way.
Ten Commandments were given to "everyone?" Babylonian Empire? Grecian Empire? Roman Empire? Persian Empire?
Anyone?
That is not what I said, is it?
Do you not claim the Ten Commandments are given to the whole world with MK 2:27-28?That is not what I said, is it?
Firstly my faith is not based on what any man, empire or civilization held as faith, law, god or truth but what my God, the only God requires of me and all mankind.You guys relentlessly come on here and proclaim that the Ten Commandments were given to all the world, for all times.
Its time for you to prove it, or shut up.
I will restate my challenge: The Ten Commandments were NEVER given to ANYONE in the Gentile, non-Jewish world. Not in ancient days. Not now. Gentiles have ALWAYS been under a different set of laws. The Mosaic Law was given ONLY to the Israelites, and they were fulfilled by the Messiah. They are only applicable to those of the Jewish Faith.
If you disagree with that statement, provide some proof. You cannot just ignore the Roman, Greek, Persian and Babylonian empires anymore. That does not cut it.
No I do not claim, absolutely not.Do you not claim the Ten Commandments are given to the whole world with MK 2:27-28?

The issue with the Ten commandments pertains only to the Sabbath.
No one has a problem with the other nine. So forget about quibbling about them.
My Jesus and yours has clearly stated that the Sabbath was made for man. As far as I know that means all men. Mark 2:27. You can twist that to suit your fancies.
Nice. I thought you might have been against God's law. It is true, the law of God is against sinners. The law of God also happens to be mercy. The law of God is a 2 step forward process.
You come on here and you argue constantly that God gave the Ten Commandments to everyone for all time. You cannot even name me one single fact that shows they were given to ANYONE else at the time they were given to the Israilites. And yet you have the gall to come on to this Christian website and announce that Christians should be following the Sabbath.
So we trust that the next time one of your fellow Sabbath spammers come on here and deceitfully smear Christians of wanting to "steal, kill and lie," you will correct them that you only want the Ten Commandments because of the Sabbath, right? You won't let them get away with dishonestly insinuating that Christians say the Ten Commandments are obsolete because they wish to murder anymore, right?
Actually, your fellow Sabbath Spammers have made it CLEAR that Christians want to go on an unbridled crime spree, and without the Ten Commandments, they will be murdering, lying and stealing! The only thing that can possibly stop such a thing is the Ten Commandments. That is what your side argues on a daily basis. So no, your statement that "no one has a problem with the other nine" is just flat dishonest.
So once again, you are implying that if other Christians strongly-disagree with your dishonest interpretation of that text, then they don't have Jesus, right?
I imply nothing, no need to, Jesus speaks for Himself. Mat. 7So once again, you are implying that if other Christians strongly-disagree with your dishonest interpretation of that text, then they don't have Jesus, right?
No, Jesus made no such statement, the reason you can't furnish a quote telling us the Mosaic covenant applied to all the Gentile nations. In fact, you contradict the Law's record and what Moses testified according to Deuteronomy 4 and 5.No I do not claim, absolutely not.
JESUS STATED!
You admit -again- complete ignorance of God's rest, even after this was pointed out to you. Doing this once only demonstrates a lack of understanding. Repeating the error after it has been shown to you suggests incompetence or deceit.Hebrews 4: 10 again states that we should rest as God rested. There is no account in the bible that calls us to rest as God did but the Sabbath. None.
Now how many times have you quoted Mark 2:27 lately? Jesus proved beyond all doubt that God's rest wasn't the Sabbath, and you already know that the Sabbath's origin was coincident with the manna experience, which with the Sabbath established the weekly cycle for the children of Israel. Trust me, there were plenty of Jews when the Sabbath was first ordained.Jesus Created the Sabbath, blessed it, sanctified it, before there was a Jew.
The fact that none of the Jews knew about the Sabbath at the time of collecting manna shows that not even Israel (the Jews) prior to Moses at mount Sinai knew how to keep a proper Sabbath.Now how many times have you quoted Mark 2:27 lately?

The idea of following a weekly cycle was so unfamiliar that of course they had trouble grasping the concept of the Sabbath.The fact that none of the Jews knew about the Sabbath at the time of collecting manna shows that not even Israel (the Jews) prior to Moses at mount Sinai knew how to keep a proper Sabbath.
