Ancient First a comment by John MacArthur on your theologically sound teaching. Hebrews 10:25 not forsaking the assembling. Collective and corporate worship is a vital part of spiritual life. The warning here is against apostasy in an eschatological context (cf. 2 Thess. 2:1). The reference is to the approaching “Day” (the second coming of Christ; cf. Rom. 13:12; 1 Cor. 3:13; 1 Thess. 5:4). exhorting. Exhortation takes the form of encouragement, comfort, warning, or strengthening. There is an eschatological urgency to the exhortation which requires an increased activity as the coming of Christ approaches (cf. 3:13; cf. 1 Thess. 4:18). MacArthur, J. J. (1997, c1997). The MacArthur Study Bible (electronic ed.) (Heb 10:25-26). Nashville: Word Pub. Now your witnesses by example Matthew 12:9 Mark 1:21 Mark 3:1 Luke 4:15-16 Luke 6:6 Acts 13:14 Acts 17:2 Acts 17:10 Now the reasons for attending Exodus 23:17 Deuteronomy 12:5 Deuteronomy 16:16 2 Samuel 12:20 2 Kings 19:1 2 Kings 19:14 2 Kings 23:2 2 Chronicles 20:28 2 Chronicles 29:20 2 Chronicles 30:8 2 Chronicles 34:30 Psalm 5:7 Psalm 23:6 Psalm 42:4 Psalm 55:14 Psalm 66:13 Psalm 73:17 Psalm 84:4 Psalm 96:8 Psalm 100:4 Psalm 116:19 Psalm 122:4 Ecclesiastes 5:1 Isaiah 1:12 Isaiah 37:1 Isaiah 37:14 Isaiah 38:20 Jeremiah 26:7 Jeremiah 31:6 Micah 4:2 Luke 2:27 Luke 2:36-37 Luke 4:16 Luke 18:10 Luke 24:52-53 John 5:14 John 7:14 Acts 2:46 Acts 3:1 The Divine Command (I know it is Old Testament and you have that ripped out of your Bible since we are free of it.) Deuteronomy 12:5 Deuteronomy 16:16 Wow would you look at that there are even blessings in attending church Psalm 84:4 Psalm 122:4 Church a place of refuge from the worries of this world Isaiah 37:1 Isaiah 37:14 A place of instruction and learning but only for those that listen. Micah 4:2 Some liked church so much they never left Luke 2:36-37 Even Jesus went to church I know even though it was just a custom of Jesus we shouldn't burden ourselves with trying to follow what He did. We might become legalistic. How wrong Paul was when said imitate me as imitate Christ. Luke 4:16 Luke 18:10 Even thought he disciples followed Jesus' example we have to be careful not to do the same it might become a law and we are free from the law. Luke 24:52-53 Acts 2:46 Acts 3:1 I agree love is the important and integral part of a Christians walk but throwing every other doctrine, admonishment, “advice”, sound counsel aside in the name of freedom from the law is nonsense. We have been called to holiness, to follow Christ. These doctrines, examples, “advice”, commandments were given for our direction. While your right in the most technical of terms they are not commands, however they are far too important to our walk in Christ for us to ignore them or try to explain them away. EdB |

EdB ... You see this: "I know it is Old Testament and you have that ripped out of your Bible since we are free of it." Because of this sort of nonsense, I will not address one letter of your response, nor read the rest of what you wrote, nor look up anything you quoted. I have asked you repeatedly to stop being rude and insulting. Since you can't respect that and show a hint of meekness, your efforts are wasted. Try me again without the insults, mockery, and condescending remarks. You might get somewhere. Good day. Ancient |

Ancient I insulted you???? What about this statement you made, "Christianity over the course of the last 2000 years is also responsible for the Spanish Inquisition, the Crusades, the Salem Witch Trials, The Papacy, Confessionals, Indulgences, and many other horrible things. Just because they taught it doesn't mean they taught the right thing. Orthodox Christianity has murdered, stolen, molested, raped, falsely accused, tortured, and enslaved." As a Christian that is far more insulting to me than anything I have could have ever said to you. Your basically saying Christianity advocates murder, rape, pillage and mayhem. That is an insult to every Christian, to every church, to every Bible believing person that has, is or will ever live. There have been 75 million Christians slaughtered because they believed in Christ, and hundred millions more enslaved and abused. For you to say what you did is insult to everyone of them. It is also an insult to think the readers of this forum are so ignorant of the truth that they would believe such outlandish nonsense. Frankly it sounds just like a sound byte taken from Atheists Unite. |

I have posted this in several places to make sure it adequately addresses the problem at hand. EdB... Speaking as someone who was viewing this thread from afar.... I see Ancient has stopped replying to you because of the brashness of your words and their intentional isulting qualities. I can see by this post that your personal crusade to ridicule him has not been assuaged. I am not yet tried in my patience, so I will respond to you on his behalf because you have hounded him to weakness. You are accusatory, your opinions and judgement and condemnation are completely unfounded. You are debating him... or should I say baiting him, specifically for the purpose of strife. For this reason you are become the burning tongue of fire. He has pleaded with you to refrain from your attacks, and you have instead intensified your pursuit of him. Christ tells us we will know a vine by its fruits. I should sincerely hope that the wrotten fruit you are hurling is something you picked up from the ground, and not at all the culmination of the flower of your faith. I should have this hope because while there is life, there is hope. However, I am not so naive, and I recognize that you refuse to concede one inch to his obvious logic, despite the scripture he most accurately quotes, despite his genuine attitude of love for those to whom he writes (even you), despite the fact that the wisdom he subscribes to is easily entreated, despite the fact that the wisdom he subscribes to is sound and without hypocracy, and despite the fact that he is BEGGING you to stop being a stumbling block before him. EdB, I will conclude my thoughts above with your own words: "I think that clearly shows there is something fundamentally amiss in this person." |
