yeah that appears to be another topic - unless someone wants to show that The Westminster Confession of Faith and the Baptist Confession of Faith, and the Catholic statements on the Ten Commandments and the ... are all getting this all wrong(responding to Leaf) Sorry you think all the law is abolished
Looking at this part here,Which was a response to Fervent's comment about the Sabbath not being important today as the Word of God since we have the Gospel (which is also not getting at the issue of Sabbath vs evolution... but it is how this got started).
Then you appear to take it to "gospel is not preached to Abraham" in some way ,, even if scripture says it was.
But since it was preached to Abraham - then the point about no need for it once the gospel is preached - appears to end that objection with the "Gospel was preached to Abraham" Gal 3:8 text.
============== so history looks like this (and we can go back to discussing the relationship between Sabbath and belief in evolution's doctrine on origins)
Sounds like "two gospels".
- Gal 1:6-9 there is only "ONE Gospel"
- Gal 3:8 that ONE Gospel was "preached to Abraham"
- Matt 7 - both Moses and Elijah STAND WITH CHRIST - in glory even before the cross happens
- 1 Peter 1 says "The SPIRIT OF CHRIST in them" was preaching the gospel in the OT
- Gal 3 says there was never a time when the LAW was some "other way" of salvation for mankind
Agreed.
The New Covenant of Jer 31:31-34 is the ONE and only Gospel covenant and that Gospel was "preached to Abraham" Gal 3:8.
Who saw Christ's day in vision - according to Christ in John chapter 8.
The "Old Covenant" made with Israel as a nation-covenant (not a salvation covenant) -- is a "type" of the "OBEY AND LIVE" covenant in Eden in Gen 2.
As Jesus said "Abraham SAW My day and was glad" - John 8. FEW people today can say God supernaturally showed them a video of the life of Christ - the actual real day-to-day.
you are free to speculate on that all you wish. I am sticking with the Bible.
And as Jesus said in John 8 - Abraham was show the days of Christ - in vision (As already noted in my post above)
And 1 Peter 1 states that it was the "Spirit of Christ" in the OT writers predicting "The sufferings of Christ AND THE GLORIES to Follow"
I believe what I talked about was different words being used. If you believe the same words were used, please say what they were.Then you appear to take it to "gospel is not preached to Abraham" in some way ,, even if scripture says it was.
It isn't my position that the laws were abolished. We can talk more over here, if you wish.yeah that appears to be another topic - unless someone wants to show that The Westminster Confession of Faith and the Baptist Confession of Faith, and the Catholic statements on the Ten Commandments and the ... are all getting this all wrong
good to hear. This thread is about the comparison between the Sabbath Commandment and belief in evolutionism - showing that the details God puts into the Sabbath commandment (with its reference to Gen 2:1-3) refutes the claims in evolutionism's doctrine on origins.It isn't my position that the laws were abolished.
I agree, it's important to keep threads on track with the OP. And I appreciate that you've just recently posted on the other thread,good to hear. This thread is about the comparison between the Sabbath Commandment and belief in evolutionism - showing that the details God puts into the Sabbath commandment (with its reference to Gen 2:1-3) refutes the claims in evolutionism's doctrine on origins.
I do use it but not as a natural history book. How do you believe Genesis came to be written?Jesus didn't take Genesis as "figurative". PBS? LOL. Try Using the actual Word of God.
most scholars attribute Moses as the authorship of Genesis, who knows?I do use it but not as a natural history book. How do you believe Genesis came to be written?
Well, he wasn't there at creation. He most likely recorded some events but certainly not his own death. (Deuteronomy 34:5)most scholars attribute Moses as the authorship of Genesis, who knows?
If, upon your death, someone were to take your journal or personal memoirs and add a short description of your death, you would still be considered the author of the biography.Well, he wasn't there at creation. He most likely recorded some events but certainly not his own death. (Deuteronomy 34:5)
I think something like the Documentary hypothesis might be closer to the truth.
Of course the important thing is not so much who wrote it but what does it mean to us. What does it tell us about who God is and who we are?
Amen!If, upon your death, someone were to take your journal or personal memoirs and add a short description of your death, you would still be considered the author of the biography.
Nobody (no human) witnessed Gods original creation .... that don't mean it didn't happen as in Genesis.
5But Jesus told them, “Moses wrote this commandment for you because of your hardness of heart.6However, from the beginning of creation, ‘God made them male and female.
in Exodus 20:11 states: “For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.” This, of course, is the basis for our seven-day week—six days of work and one day of rest. Obviously, this passage was meant to be taken as speaking of a total of seven literal days based on the Creation Week of six literal days of work and one literal day of rest. .... else how would they know what DAY the Sabbath was?
Stated by God Himself validating the Genesis account of creation ... literal days.
But he was a prophet - and God was there - So obviously God would know what to show His prophet.Well, he wasn't there at creation.
No doubt - someone else adds that part to the end.He most likely recorded some events but certainly not his own death. (Deuteronomy 34:5)
Amen!
Looking for any way possible to disregard the validity of the text and what it says - does not work with the Gospel accounts, and does not work with Genesis.
Hi eleos1954,People who keep Sunday do so out of man's tradition rather than in accordance with scripture .... if we follow in the steps of Christ .... His steps include keeping the 7th day Sabbath.
At least the Catholics are honest about it.
Some interesting info found here ... can be verified in other places .... one can do their own research
