Who in their right mind wants the spirit of the law?Hi Timothy416, nice to meet you here and welcome. How can you have the Spirit of the law if you do not have the letter of the law?
It's also the letter that bring death - Rom 7.Indeed because the wages of sin is death to all those who do not BELIEVE and FOLLOW God's WORD *ROMANS 6:23. It is the letter that shows us that we are all sinners and our need of a Saviour *GALATIANS 3:22-25.
Yeah you said the same to me. The law is about regulating the carnal.Nope I do not walk in the flesh *GALATIANS 5:16. If you are knowingly practicing SIN you need to be BORN again *1 JOHN 3:3-10; 1 JOHN 2:3-4. SIN (breaking any one of God's 10 Commandments) *JAMES 2:10-11 will keep all those who KNOWINGLY practice it out of God's KINGDOM *HEBREWS 10:26-27 because those who do so reject the gift of God's dear son *ROMANS 6:23.
There are some great pretenders out there. The poster you've been interacting with isn't even close to being sola scripturist.It is important to remember, that sola scripturists are always selective with the letter of sola scripture they choose to accept. As the letter kills them as well as it does everyone else, that is testament to their failure to understand the message
Who in their right mind wants to possess the spirit of the law?You cannot have the Spirit of the letter without having the letter. The Spirit works through the letter in all those who BELIEVE and follow it. JOHN 6:63; JOHN 17:17
Still no verse requiring NT Christians to worship on Saturday.We should worship God everyday. That has never been the issue with God's 4th commandment which is one of the 10 commandments that give us the knowledge of what SIN is if broken *ROMANS 3:20. The issue is in what God has said in relation to God's 4th Commandment which reads...
EXODUS 20:8-11
[8], Remember the SABBATH DAY, to KEEP IT HOLY. <Why?> Because God made it Holy for mankind and commands us to keep it as a Holy day)
[9], Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work:
[10], But the SEVENTH DAY IS THE SABBATH of the LORD thy God: in it THOU SHALT NOT DO ANY WORK, [KEEPING THE SABBATH AS A HOLY DAY OF REST MEANS NOT DOING ANY OF OUR WORK IN IT] thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: <WHY>
[11], For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the SEVENTH DAY: wherefore the LORD BLESSED THE SABBATH, and HALLOWED IT [Reference back to GENESIS 2:1-3].
GENESIS 2:1-3 shows that GOD BLESSED and set apart the SEVENTH DAY of the WEEK as a HOLY DAY of rest where NO WORK is to be done. God made the SABBATH for ALL mankind BEFORE SIN and the fall of mankind. JESUS is the LORD of the SABBATH *MARK 2:27-28 and has commanded his people to REMEMBER the SEVENTH DAY SABBATH as a HOLY DAY where NO WORK is to be done *EXODUS 20:8-11. God's 4th Commandment is one of God's 10 commandments that give us the KNOWLEDGE of GOOD and EVIL; SIN AND RIGHTOUESNESS if broken *ROMANS 3:20; ROMANS 7:7; 1 JOHN 3:4; PSALMS 119:172. If we KNOWINGLY break any one of God's 10 Commandments we stand guilty before God of SIN *JAMES 2:10-11 and are in danger of the judgment unless we seek JESUS in Confession and repentance. SIN (breaking any one of God's 10 commandmetns) will keep all those who KNOWINGLY CONTINUE in it out of God's KINGDOM *HEBREWS 10:26-27 because they reject the gift of God's dear son *ROMANS 6:23.
God's 4th commandment is one of the ten (Exodus 20:8-11) If we knowingly break it when God asks us not to we stand guilty before God of committing sin (James 2:8-12). If we do not seek him in repentance and forgiveness we are in danger of the Judgement (Hebrews 10:26-27; JAMES 2:8-12)
Sunday worship is a tradition and teaching of man that has led many to break the commandments of God. Jesus says that if we follow the traditions of man that break the commandments of God we are not following God (Matthew 15:3-9)
There is not one scripture in all of God's Word that says that God's 4th Commandment is now ABOLISHED and we are now commanded to KEEP Sunday as a Holy day.
Who should we follow the teachings and traditions of men or the Word of God? Who should we believe the Words of men or the Word of God?
In times of ignorance God winks at but now, <when a KNOWLEDGE of the truth has come> calls all men everywhere to REPENT (FOLLOW) (Acts 17:30-31).
Hope this is helpful.
How about you? You don't want to discuss that for some reason. I've asked you more than once.Not if your keeping God's 4th commandment according to God's WORD. Are you keeping God's 4th commandment accorinding to the scriptures *EXODUS 20:8-11?
ExactlyYour post shows your confusion. According to your belief, I must be committing wilfull, deliberate sin without conscience, for I know what the fourth commandment states, yet have no conscience at not observing a Saturday sabbath. According to your quote I am therefore a child of the devil, yet you call me brother. Does this mean you are admitting to being a child of the devil and so we are brothers in this regard?
But many read and don't participate on this site. The real damage can't be known.Unfortunately, those who preach obedience to the letter, are left making statements that have not bearing on the reality of theirs or anyone elses lives. I guess that doesn't matter so much if you are only on this website for theological debate. I guess it is better to be doing it here, than spend your time witnessing to people out in the world, as such words would be disasterous for the sincere of heart
You must be confused to post this passage and continue to teach against it.Unfortunately those who do not know the letter cannot know the Spirit because the Spirit works through the letter to lead us to Christ *GALATIANS 3:22-25
He thinks it's being polite. The reality he won't admit to is intent to disarm defense system with it. The word "brother" is a cozy type word.So you do not accept as Christians people on this website who, do not observe a set Saturday sabbath, and do not do so without repentance whilst fully understanding what the Ten Commandments state. That's fine, so why call such people brothers??
How many commandments do you claim there are?There is no evasion at all. The evasion is yourside. Your repeating yourself. Read the scriptures what do you think ACTS 17:30 and JAMES 4:17 mean? Please read post # 534 linked click me which as already addressed your claims. Your just repeating yourself without reading or responding to what has been written to you or addressing the scriptures that disagree with you. Ignoring God's WORD does not make it dissappear.
Some come here to evangelize Christians converting them to their religion.Many come on these websites thinking they understand much, for they can quote much of the letter, yet, their posts show confusion. Possibly that is why they are on the internet and not out in the real world seeking to bring the lost into the kingdom
We've tried. No one can show some one anything when everything is ignored.Go ahead show me how my post has not answered your question. If you cannot your only evading the post and scriptures that disagree with you.

Only God's WORD is true and we should believe and follow it. *ROMANS 3:4
Your words are not God's WORD. God is not the author of confusion. Some therefore cried one thing, and some another: for the assembly was confused: and the more part knew not why they were come together. There is only confusion in our own words when they are not God's WORD. Only God's WORD is true and we should believe and follow it over the teachings and traditions of men that break the commandments of God. JESUS says those who follow the teachings and traditions of men that break the commandments of God are not following God *MATTHEW 15:3-9Spot on
