we don't live under the law? i'm surprised! are we to do what we want and still expect to live eternally. if Christ's death abolished the law then is it ok for us to have other gods, make graven images, take God's name in vain, work on saturday, dishonour our parents, kill, adulterate, steal, lie, and covet? here's the thing, i don't know if you're doing it on purpose or what. i said twice that the Sabbath (saturday) is a day of rest. one of you keeps saying that it's a day of worship. that's not what i said. although it is another day of worship as is every other day it is also a day of rest. if you do not want to believe it that's fine. but why go and try to twist the word? you keep contradicting yourselves with the same texts you present to me. "tha sabbath was made for man and not man for the sabbath". it's as clear as it is. if it was made for man, why are we not to keep it? the texts that i gave you from the bible could not be more clear. and by your arguments it's obvious that you haven't read them. It is written 'God is not a man, that he should lie; neither a son of man, that he should repent...' Numbers 23.19. Why would he give his law and then take it back? Why would he tell us to do something if he didn't mean it? 'For I am the Lord, I change not...' Malachi 3.6. You say he does change. 'Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and forever.' Hebrews 13.8. Why does Isaiah say that we will keep the Sabbath in the new life? Why did Jesus say that he came not to destroy the law, but to fulfill it and then destroy it according to you? Is Jesus a liar?
Psalm 19.7,8 'The law of the Lord is perfect...the commandment of the Lord is pure...' Some think it needs tweaking.
There are so many versions of the bible for a reason. Read the history of the translations, look at the origin of the words and the acurate translations. Why have there been so many revisions. Maybe so the Word could fit a certain peoples ideas?
'The works of his hands are verity and judgement; all his commandments are sure. They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness....' Psalm 111.7,10
ok, so in conclusion, don't think i'm mad cause by someone's comment it seems that's the impression i left. by no means. i'm just asking questions to make people think. i just recently became a Christian by God's grace and simply wish to share my joy. a large amount of people believe, in respect to the bible, what they here from parents, pastors, or bible teachers without reading for themselves. John 5.39 'Search the scriptures: for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.'sometimes they're led to believe things that have absolutely no biblical basis. i'm simply presenting something that's already been written, without speculating, adding or subtracting, or twisting the word; no excuses, no ifs, ands or buts. Anything you here from anyone, regarding the bible, should be compared with the bible. ok guys, whew, there's so much more to say...but don't have space...anyway, gotta go.
