21 | the great commission/evangelism? | Matt 28:19 | sandrider | 56367 | ||
I like the analogy, it serves the purpose well. Do not think that I believe that some people are not called to be front-line evangelists. Perhaps only that there need to be more evangelists closer to home (not to say that we should not support the front-line). | ||||||
22 | Does the bible use it? | Eph 2:8 | sandrider | 55741 | ||
Many churches (although not the Roman Catholic) believe in salvation by faith, which is what the Bible says. Some passages refer to being judged by what you do, which is an outward sign of your faith, so it is still judging your faith. (e.g., 1 Peter 1:17) One of the New Testament's most well-known passages is John 3:16, "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." These words, from Jesus's mouth, say that if you believe that Jesus is the Son of God and one's saviour, then that person is saved. Romans 11:6 sums it up nicely, "And if by grace, then it is no longer by works; if it were, grace would no longer be grace." If one accepts the grace, they are no longer under the charge of sin. |

The seventh day, or Saturday, Sabbath was commanded in the Old Testament, there should be little controversy about that (Exodus 16:26, 20:8). It was a symbol of waiting for the Messiah, a spiritual rest. However, Jesus taught a new kind of Sabbath. He picked grain (Matthew 12:1) and taught that on the Sabbath one should, save sheep, a symbol of God's flock, from a well (Matthew 12:11). He did this despite the Old Testament law which said that a man is to be killed for violating the Sabbath (Numbers 15:32-6). Finally, Matthew 28:1 reads, "And on the eve of the sabbaths, at the dawn, toward the first of the sabbaths, came Mary the Magdalene, and the other Mary, to see the sepulchre..." (Young's Literal Translation, the KJV and its paraphrases misinterpreted the passage). This passage shows that there are two groups of Sabbaths, those including the Saturday after Jesus's death, and those including the following Sunday. A similar passage is Mark 16:9 (Be sure to use YLT). Hence, Colossians 2:16, "Let no one, then, judge you in eating or in drinking, or in respect of a feast, or of a new moon, or of sabbaths..." Sometimes the Bible doesn't spit things out plain and simple, you have to study it. |

25 | repost of circumcission and baptism? | Col 2:12 | sandrider | 57120 | ||
However, "sabbaton" is used twice in this passage to refer to "in the end of.." and "to the first of.." This use of the word "sabbaton" twice is repeated in Mark 16:1-2 and Luke 24:1. This makes it more likely that the original authors meant "sabbaton" to mean "Sabbath" twice. | ||||||

Thanks for your input. I just try to explore every possibility fully before rejecting them. I looked around and every reference to "[cardinal number] sabbaton" I looked at is, in fact, in reference to that day of the week. | ||||||
27 | repost of circumcission and baptism? | Col 2:12 | sandrider | 57135 | ||
I did not mean to support this subject, except as a possible answer. I was merely exploring it. Isn't that what this site is for? To help other study the Bible and not send them into a corner when an idea they want to explore is not true? In any case, you could not know if I had any preconeived notions about this. Also, if my argument were too weak to be considered, why respond to it? This isn't a place for show-downs. |

28 | Who are the angelic majesties/dignitarie | 2 Pet 2:10 | sandrider | 55580 | ||
I would take it as meaning any deity (whether supposed or the true God). It is saying that these men are not afraid to lie and decry others, while the angels who are in God's presence will not even skirt on lying by bringing forth a slandering accusation, as in the next verse. Jude 9-10 displays a similar point, even though it is an allusion to an apocryphal book, the Assumption of Moses, and hence disputable whether or not the allusion itself is canon. | ||||||
