You did offer your opinion first. I saw them and I was not interested. I am here because from time to time I read peoples post to see what the two sides of the coin are the funny thing is that I am pretty capable of thinking for myself and I don't need you to think for me or to have a discussion in something I already have had a conversation with YHWH about and have resolved it through scripture. And since I am not interested in converting you to my point of view I did not answer any of your post. But I thank you for seeing how lost I was in my thinking and answering my post. What is so false about the questions I asked?
I have already heard both sides of the coin. You argue without knowing what my ideas are. I posed questions that would help people understand what the purpose of the sabbath was. Instead of the knee jerk reaction you have because your teachings are true. When you read scripture don't you ask yourself questions like why. It's seems you don't. I still don't know what was so false about the questions I posted.
Your ideas are pro law. What else do I need to understand? What the law is? Or how one is justified? Which has nothing to do with the law, BTW. Which covenant are active? The covenants with Noah, Abraham and the new covenant for the believer. The law (covenant with Isreal) is for the ungodly, not the righteous - I Tim 1:9,10 - Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
10For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;
Now we get into another subject concerning righteousness. Does yours exceed that of the scribes and pharisees, as Jesus said it would have to be? Nope, our righteousness is like filty rags Isa 64:6 (another OT scripture just for you).
I also don't agree with everything on the 10,000 pages that you have a problem reading and that I don't want to post snippet after snippet. I doubt that you will be like me after reading it so look at the other side of the coin. Most people on this forum already think like you. And I don't think that your incredible powers of deduction converted the guy from his "false teachings of SDA" to the TRUTH that you tough him. Those darn SDAaers. It reminds me of the joke about the guy that goes to heaven and as they are giving him the tour they pass a room and the tour guide says to the guy. "SHHH. they think that they are the only ones here.
I seek to convert no one and especially Christians. I told you that I detest heresy. You are promoting that you and your view alone are correct and that I am wrong. And your are attempting to do it without scripture and by opinion. Why sould I go fish for your truths (beliefs) in those 10,000 pages.
It's not so much the time that I spend but the futility of it. Why would I want to waste time repeating things that are already answered when I did not start the argument. If I wanted to start the argument I would have answered one of your post. I already understand your basic point of view from reading your other post and they are not new to me. I have already seen your side of the coin, most of what is on this forum is your side of the coin how could I miss it. It must be my lack of discernment to see the truth. Just because I refuse to engage with you on a topic I am not interested in discussing because it has been hashed and rehashed and hashed again on this forum does not mean I did not see the other side of the coin. I did not post to argue with you on your point. It seems like you are the one that does not want to see the other side of the coin actually the other side of the coin seems to irritate you because you believe your side is the only right side. But you go ahead keep on converting people to your, I mean the Truth.
If I was upset that my work here was futile, I would go somewhere else that I thought I could do good or be of use, if it were me. The above says you have no point or that it is pointless to discuss. Why then are you coming back?
My purpose was to answer the person I quoted on my initial post. If it was useful fine if not that is ok too.Your implication that I am a false teacher and that I don't love the truth or YHWH is amazing. I am glad you can make that kind of judgement from the post I made hopefully God will use you to judge mankind because you have incredible discernment. Hopefully you can find it in your heart to let me into heaven. And what does the bible not being that long have to do with anything? This is futile too. So if you post a reply I will not be posting a reply back.
So my guess is that you think I am in error aka a false teacher. When you say something the reverse or negative statement is also true. I am or seem to be the reverse I am speaking about here. I have nothing to do with your getting into heaven. I will try to show you the
Way, the
Truth and the
Life. You can get into heaven
if and
only if your name is written in the
Book of Life.
My answer to one of the question that you are so afraid to answer because it might mean that you would have to view the sabbath and that would mean that you are turning away from Jesus and not trusting him. The reason he did not want us to work on the Sabbath was because the Sabbath was a representation of our rest in Him of the millennial Sabbath a representation of the fact that there is nothing we can do for our salvation. YHWH did all the work with Yahshua. He did it all and we have to trust and rely on his unmerited mercy and favor. But of course it is my opinion because it does not say that it is just metaphorical. In reality god arbitrarily piked the 7th day and told them not to work or kindle a fire because he wanted to enslave the Jewish people with rules he had no other reason but to make the Jewish people rest on that day because he told them too and he wanted to see if they would obey him or not and when Yahshua came the meaning was not important anymore.
As you have admitted to knowing what I believe by reading my posts throught out the theology section, why would you think I would say something else here? I do not fear answering your questions. And demanding that I answer your questions with nothing to go on proves that you are here to argue as you already know my position. You are not asking that I make myself clear. You already stated that you are clear on my opinion. I thought I was being very charitable when I gave verses stating peculair people and treasure along with Romans 11:1-5, 32.
I am fully aware of the Sabbath and who it was given to. I am also aware of the new covenant that Jesus testified is the currrent covenant in Mat 26:28. There is not a single NT verse that states Christians are to observe any of the laws of Moses which include the ten commandments which were not given to the Gentile, goyim. Thus you must imply that a Christian is or becomes a Jew with obligation to the law. How is this? We are delivered from the law -Rom 7:6 - But
now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter. 10:4 - For
Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
What about Gal 4:30 - Nevertheless what saith the scripture?
Cast out the bondwoman (which is the law in this allegory) and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.
I like this to: For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a
debtor to do the whole law.
4Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law;
ye are fallen from grace. You can't have both the law and redemption.
