  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Things to consider about the Ten Commandments

What does the bible say about the Ten commandments

  • It is abolished for christians

  • Cristians should keep the Ten Commandments, not to be saved but because they are saved.

  • Jesus kept the Ten commandments so I don't have to keep it.

  • It was for Israel only and not part of the new covenant.

  • Don't know.

  • Don't care.

  • Christians should only keep some of the Ten Commandments

Not only can you not answer Moses, but you're reduced to speculation that is clearly contrary to Scripture.

Perhaps I missed it, but I don't see the word covenant ANYWHERE in the verse you quote at the end there. Definitely not in the Greek.
You will find in in chapter 8 where the term is introduced.

RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENTS are contrary to scripture? Now I know, you want to be right, you seek to establish your own righteousness that can not be clearly explained; you do not have a "willingness to be wrong" so that you may repent.

Where there Gentiles, foreigners and strangers present when God spoke on Mt. Sinai?

Did Gentiles, foreigners, strangers and Egyptians also enter into covenant with the God of Israel at Sinai?

The simple truth is that you don't accept Scripture, and have to blather on about nonsense to justify your rejection of Holy Writ. Who took away the covenant from Mount Sinai?

Each of your statements ends with a question mark. Can you answer Moses' question?

Repent of what? Acknowledging God's righteous judgment, that you can't seem to reconcile your posts with?

Where is it EXPLICITLY written that he took away the covanant at Mt. Sinai? What I mean by explicit, where it is EXACTLY written that he took away the covenant at Mt. Sinai?

John 1:17 is a statement of contrast and not a statement of equals.

Where does Jesus teach the law especially as a requirement for salvation? Quote it with full context in the light of the complete Bible.

God the Father and God the Son aren't the same as you intend. Yes I just admitted they're both God. I also mean they're both the same God. The FoB statement in your churches declaration isn't a Trinity statement which you deny anyway with your the Father and Jesus are one statement.

Jesus didn't say when you lock eyes on Me you're actually locking eyes on God the Father.

That's right Jesus didn't come to change the law. Jesus came to fulfill the law and did. That effectively makes the law covenant (a contract) completed and not only for the archives. The evidence is found in the New Testament. The easiest verse to show the law is either changed of done away with is Heb 7:12 IMHO. There are 4 choices the verse presents -

  • the law is no longer valid
  • the priesthood isn't part of the law
  • Jesus is a sinner
  • the verse is an outright lie

Take your pick. It can be multiple choice.

Paul isn't stating God the Father is in Jesus Christ. The Greek word is also translated by. And In this case that is exactly what God the was doing through Jesus, God the Son just as He (God the Father) promised in the beginning (Gen 3:15).

I quote v 20 for proof -

Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.

To further back up my statement I quote v 18 thru 20 to show what Paul is saying -

18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;

19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.

Paul definitely doesn't say within Jesus implying that God the Father is inside of Jesus being one in that sense.
Its not a matter of contradiction but one of replacement as God promised through His prophets. But you don't believe that either. So you make Paul a contradictory fool. What's new? You must prove Paul is a total jerk to promote your doctrine. So far its very unsuccessful except in your own mind. No one like to be wrong or admit such.
Is it matter of choosing law over grace? Or having grace to Worship God alone? Grace to love your neighbour as yourself.
Matter of fact it is -

5 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

2 Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.

3 For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.

4 Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace. And its clear that Paul said Jesus is a priest. Who's your priest? If its not Jesus, you're not a Christian. This indeed changes the jots and tittles of the law. Therefore the law is fulfilled as LK 24:44 states and shows the full meaning of Mat 5:17-18.

Hebrews 10:9 does not say that anyone took away any covenant....

It is assumed into the verse...

Please answer the question.

It's like me asking you "how do pigs fly?"
ANSWER THE QUESTION.

I must first prove to you that pigs fly.

Hebrews 10:9 says NOTHING about getting rid of a covenant.

Both of you have a problem on your hands. Neither of you can respond to the obvious reference of 'He' Who took away the first covenant, which is the one declared at Mount Sinai. Why is this?

See what you're doing there Victor...

The verse says "he took away the first to establish the second"....

You make two assumptions.
1. assume that the word covenant should be placed after the word first.
2. assume that the already assumed word covenant, is the covenant made at Mt. Sinai.

You are asking a question based on an assumption that is built upon another assumption, and expecting me to answer your 2x assumptive question.

Very Now show where that provision is in the law by the law. BTW the law didn't exist in Noah's day according to the same Book of the Law.

No, it doesn't say that - and I pointed out the translators recognition of capitalizing the pronoun 'He' for good reason. Use another translation if necessary to see this.
