21 | MARK 16:16: Was it perverted? | Bible general Archive 2 | Radioman2 | 101912 | ||
It always amazes me, and sometimes amuses me, when people strongly disagree with an interpretation, yet offer no alternate interpretation. Likewise, when you reject the Lowest Common Denominator principle of interpretation, I wonder what you have to offer as an alternative. What, if any, principles of translation do you apply? --Radioman2 |

Norrie: I understand how you feel about not carrying your Bible to church, having had similar feelings in a recent situation. All my life I had carried my Bible to church. Recently my church started providing pew Bibles. For a time, I quit carrying my Bible. Like you, I thought, Why bother bringing it? Then it hit me. More than a dozen nieces and nephews of mine attend the same church I attend. The thought occured to me that I ought to carry my Bible to church to set an example for the children and young adults in my family. They may reason that if their uncle doesn't bring his Bible to church, then it must not be all that important. I want them to know it is important. I believe that carrying the Bible to church honors the Word of God and shows that one has a high view of Scripture. However, I am not saying that it is wrong not to carry one's Bible to church. In no way am I criticizing you or implying that this is what you should do. I am merely saying how I felt and what I decided for myself. Grace and peace to you, Radioman2 |

This is not rocket science. Go to the website to read the Scriptures and the entire article. Just because someone told you that baptism is necessary for salvation does not make it so. I think you were bluffing when you attempted to answer my previous question about principles of interpretation. I doubt if you have any idea of what is meant by "principles of interpretation." --Radioman2 |

"What should we do as parents? Turn off the TV..." Yes, turn off the TV. Not only because of the content, but also because of the ways in which watching TV affects children. See also the recent headlines about the effects of watching TV on small children. Grace to you, Radioman2 |

"I am the Lord, I do not change" EdB: Prayer does not change GOD. Prayer changes US. Scripture clearly says: "I am the Lord, I do not change". NASB Malachi 3:6 "For I, the LORD, do not change; therefore you, O sons of Jacob, are not consumed. AMPLIFIED Malachi 3:6 For I am the Lord, I do not change; that is why you, O sons of Jacob, are not consumed. Grace to you, my brother Radioman2 |

EdB: You ask: "Did God stop His actions because of prayer or not?" I reply: I never said that He didn't stop His actions because of prayer. I neither could nor would dispute the Scriptures you quoted. Good job, Ed. Grace to you, Radioman2 |

"Some things God never conceived, because of the gross immorality involved. It “never entered (His) mind”. What does that mean? That God did not foresee everything? Or that God does not know everything? |

"But to answer your question...No, I believe that God is always ruling over all things and at all times." John: Thank you for providing an answer that is both Scriptural and reasonable. It seems to me that one would need to re-define (make up his own definition of) the word "sovereignty" before one could think that God had limited sovereignty. But, have you noticed, almost no one on this forum ever mentions the fact that man has LIMITED free will? No, the FREE WILL of man is always spoken of as though it were absolute and unlimited. Also, thanks for the fine quote from A.W. Pink. Grace to you, Radioman2 |

Figgy: My thoughts are that I am in agreement with you. The concept of God having a greater or lesser degree of sovereignty is totally foreign to me. That would be similar to asserting that there are degrees of omniscience, omnipresence, and omnipotence. Grace to you, Radioman2 |

40 | Are we supposed to observe the Sabbath? | Bible general Archive 2 | Radioman2 | 102944 | ||
"Are the Sabbath laws binding on Christians today? " ____________________ "Nowhere in the Old Testament are the Gentile nations commanded to observe the Sabbath or condemned for failing to do so. That is certainly strange if Sabbath observance were meant to be an eternal moral principle." ____________________ "We believe the Old Testament regulations governing Sabbath observances are ceremonial, not moral, aspects of the law. As such, they are no longer in force, but have passed away along with the sacrificial system, the Levitical priesthood, and all other aspects of Moses' law that prefigured Christ. . . . Here are the reasons we hold this view. "In Colossians 2:16-17, Paul explicitly refers to the Sabbath as a shadow of Christ, which is no longer binding since the substance (Christ) has come. It is quite clear in those verses that the weekly Sabbath is in view. The phrase "a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day" refers to the annual, monthly, and weekly holy days of the Jewish calendar (cf. 1 Chronicles 23:31; 2 Chronicles 2:4; 31:3; Ezekiel 45:17; Hosea 2:11). If Paul were referring to special ceremonial dates of rest in that passage, why would he have used the word "Sabbath?" He had already mentioned the ceremonial dates when he spoke of festivals and new moons. "The Sabbath was the sign to Israel of the Mosaic Covenant (Exodus 31:16-17; Ezekiel 20:12; Nehemiah 9:14). Since we are now under the New Covenant (Hebrews 8), we are no longer required to observe the sign of the Mosaic Covenant. "The New Testament never commands Christians to observe the Sabbath. "In our only glimpse of an early church worship service in the New Testament, the church met on the first day of the week (Acts 20:7). "Nowhere in the Old Testament are the Gentile nations commanded to observe the Sabbath or condemned for failing to do so. That is certainly strange if Sabbath observance were meant to be an eternal moral principle. "There is no evidence in the Bible of anyone keeping the Sabbath before the time of Moses, nor are there any commands in the Bible to keep the Sabbath before the giving of the law at Mt. Sinai. "When the Apostles met at the Jerusalem council (Acts 15), they did not impose Sabbath keeping on the Gentile believers. "The apostle Paul warned the Gentiles about many different sins in his epistles, but breaking the Sabbath was never one of them. "In Galatians 4:10-11, Paul rebukes the Galatians for thinking God expected them to observe special days (including the Sabbath). "In Romans 14:5, Paul forbids those who observe the Sabbath (these were no doubt Jewish believers) to condemn those who do not (Gentile believers). "The early church fathers, from Ignatius to Augustine, taught that the Old Testament Sabbath had been abolished and that the first day of the week (Sunday) was the day when Christians should meet for worship (contrary to the claim of many seventh-day sabbatarians who claim that Sunday worship was not instituted until the fourth century). "Sunday has not replaced Saturday as the Sabbath. Rather the Lord's Day is a time when believers gather to commemorate His resurrection, which occurred on the first day of the week. Every day to the believer is one of Sabbath rest, since we have ceased from our spiritual labor and are resting in the salvation of the Lord (Hebrews 4:9-11). "So while we still follow the pattern of designating one day of the week a day for the Lord's people to gather in worship, we do not refer to this as "the Sabbath." ____________________ (www.gty.org) Click on Issues and Answers.
