If a man is a thief he is a thief and as such God would reject him. To tell a man he is wrong is what we should do. to tell him he would go to hell for s not evil either.Not at all. Do as you're led. But when you say another believer or even you are potentially damned for not owning up to your sights on these matters you're a whole different animal. Now you have a promotion to destroy. And this is what is being spoken against. The destroyer. The evil present within all men. That is never justified whenever it rears it's head.

This is one point that I can completely agree with.Personally, were I in their shoes and someone says toss away the Word of God, I would not believe they were being truthful, and would reject what they say.
I reject that approach as it is quite absurd. Gods Word was delivered to some but are for ALL. No different than Jesus coming to Israel but is also FOR ALL.
This notion that Victor tries for example where he says, in effect, show me where God directed the people of Barbados to do the Saturday Sabbath is complete nonsense. Using that approach unless Jesus or Moses spoke to us directly we might just as well toss the entire document.
That is why that approach should be totally discarded. It doesn't hold water.
Paul for example has many statements and teachings that make the Old Testament directly applicable to N.T. believers and didn't toss a single Word of same.
So you who are working that way just pooled yourselves into irresolvable boxes that won't fit and weren't meant to work anyway.

Ezekiel 3: 18 When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
19 Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.
Sorry but I am not bearing no more than my own.
God says if a man is wrong tell him, which say I will do and this is your reply? Come on, if you have a problem with that you are questioning God.I really don't know what you are trying to prove other than being a better sinner than some other sinner.

Good then I should say as it is.There is no if.

There s no condemnation of the Ten Commandments here! Paul makes it plain that it is the standard o God for both Jew and Genlte.
17 Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God,
18 And knowest his will, and approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law;
19 And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness,
20 An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law.
21 Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?
23 Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonourest thou God?
24 For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written.
25 For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision.
26 Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?
You have an observation to make genez other than the obvious fact?
There you go again., Squint being Squint... doing his old tricks. Sucking people back in when they desire to walk away.
You live off of others by sucking the life out of them with your pseudo doctrinal understanding.
You refuse to answer the question asked earlier. Do that mean we should forget about doing right. If not stop the repeating yourself with this, it is uncalled for.The standard can be held up all day and it can not make anyone sinless.
Sorry you think that is a path away from a truthful conclusion.
The scripture has made a conclusion that can not be changed by 'acceptable' behavior.

You are certainly welcome to claim yourself sinless.
IOW one doesn't need Jesus to be justified. The main trouble with your point is there are none as the Psalms point out.VictorC
Romans 2:
10 But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:
11 For there is no respect of persons with God.
12 For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;
13 (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.
14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:
15 Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another.
If this is true, explain why God would treat the Jews and gentles differently in regards to the Ten Commandments?
