Huh??? Are you serious? Lev 23:3 Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, a holy convocation; ye shall do no work therein: it is the sabbath of the LORD in all your dwellings. |

Brad, I was answering the question about the scripture, then I was asked to back up what I'd said. My discourse simply backed up my original answer. This being such a legalistic board and all, people wanted scriptures to prove each word. So, I provided what they asked for. I am your Brother in Christ, Russ |

I like to quote the scriptures, and many times what I do, how I write my quotes are embedded, and supplying a reference destroys the continunity of my thought process. Posting here is not as easy as on many other fourms because of the way this one is set up, you cant use certain symbols that we can use other places so I have a hard time cutting and pasting what I've saved in word because it won't take the 'and' symbol that I use for etc. |

I know you respect the Rev. C. H. Spurgeon, on what day did he give this--his first recorded sermon? The Immutability of God A Sermon (No. 1) Delivered on Sabbath Morning, January 7th, 1855, by the REV. C. H. Spurgeon At New Park Street Chapel, Southwark. (ref can be found at: http://www.spurgeon.org/sermons/0001.htm) I believe that the Sabbath has moved from the Jewish celebrated Saturday to the Christian celebrated Sunday because Jesus rose from the dead on Sudnay. And if the Rev. Spurgeon can call Sunday the Sabbath day, then I believe that I can also. Your brother in Christ, Russ |

I am now feel the responsibility to stay a little longer on this because some restless spirits are making such an outcry about the observance of the Lord’s day. Some say Saturday, I feel that they are trying to follow Judaism, because of observance of a particular day is retained. I’m replying that those days are observed by us because in this matter we differ widely from the Jews. We do not celebrate it with most minute formality, as a ceremony by which we imagine that a spiritual mystery is typified—although we should—as it is a commandment, but we have adopted it as a necessary remedy for preserving order in the Church. Paul informs us that Christians are not to be judged in respect of its observance, because it is a shadow of something to come (Col 2:16); and, accordingly, he expresses a fear lest his labor among the Galatians should prove in vain, because they still observed days (Gal 4:10, Gal 4:11). And he tells the Romans that it is superstitious to make one day differ from another (Rom 14:5). But who does not see what the observance is to which the Apostle refers? It is to those persons had no regard to that politic and ecclesiastical arrangement, but by retaining the days as types of spiritual things, they in so far obscured the glory of Christ, and the light of the Gospel. They did not desist from manual labor on the ground of its interfering with sacred study and meditation, but as a kind of religious observance; because they dreamed that by their cessation from labor, they were cultivating the mysteries which had of old been committed to them. It was, I say, against this preposterous observance of days that the Apostle inveighs, and not against that legitimate selection which is subservient to the peace of Christian society. For in the churches established by him, this was the use for which the Sabbath was retained. He tells the Corinthians to set the first day apart for collecting contributions for the relief of their brethren at Jerusalem (1Co 16:2). If superstition is dreaded, there was more danger in keeping the Jewish Sabbath than the Lord’s day as Christians now do. It being expedient to overthrow superstition, the Jewish holy day was abolished; and as a thing necessary to retain decency, orders and peace, in the Church, another day was appointed for that purpose. It was not, however, without a reason that the early Christians substituted what we call the Lord’s day [Sunday] for the Sabbath. The resurrection of our Lord being the end and accomplishment of that true rest which the ancient Sabbath typified, this day, by which types were abolished serves to warn Christians against adhering to a shadowy ceremony. I do not cling so to the number seven as to bring the Church under bondage to it, nor do I condemn churches for holding their meetings on other solemn days, provided they guard against superstition. This they will do if they employ those days merely for the observance of discipline and regular order. The whole may be thus summed up: As the truth was delivered typically to the Jews, so it is imparted to us without figure; first, that during our whole lives we may aim at a constant rest from our own works, in order that the Lord may work in us by his Spirit; secondly that every individual, as he has opportunity, may diligently exercise himself in private, in pious meditation on the works of God, and, at the same time, that all may observe the legitimate order appointed by the Church, for the hearing of the word, the administration of the sacraments, and public prayer: And, thirdly, that we may avoid oppressing those who are subject to us. In this way, we get quit of the trifling of the false prophets, who in later times instilled Jewish ideas into the people, alleging that nothing was abrogated but what was ceremonial in the commandment (this they term in their language the taxation of the seventh day), while the moral part remains, namely, the observance of one day in seven. But this is nothing else than to insult the Jews, by changing the day, and yet mentally attributing to it the same sanctity; thus retaining the same typical distinction of days as had place among the Jews. And of a truth, we see what profit they have made by such a doctrine. Those who cling to their constitutions go three times as far as the Jews in the gross and carnal superstition of worshiping not on the Sabbath but worshiping the Sabbath itself! So that the rebukes which we read in Isaiah (Isaiah 1:13; Isaiah 58:13) apply as much to those of the present day, as to those to whom the Prophet addressed them. We must be careful, however, to observe the general doctrine, namely., in order that religion may neither be lost nor languish among us, we must diligently attend on our religious assemblies, and duly avail ourselves of those external aids which tend to promote the worship of God. |

50 | Does this refrence the tyrant Mezentius? | Rom 7:24 | kw5kw | 147275 | ||
I dissagree: Here's my thoughts. Before you ask why did I ask if I knew, well I wanted to stimulate discussion. Rom 7:24 O wretched man that I am! Who shall deliver me from the body of this death? (KJV) Why did Paul say this, and what does it mean? Where did this come from, the carrying around of dead bodies? What don¡¯t we know? Philo the Jew(1) represents the body as a burden to the soul, which ¥í¥å¥ê¥ñ¥ï¥õ¥ï¥ñ¥ï¥ô¥ò¥á, "it carries about as a dead carcass, and never lies down from his birth till his death¡¦" The apostle Paul wanted to be a regenerated man. The whole of Romans chapters 6 and 7 is about sin, the death of sin, and how to be re-born in Christ. Paul¡¯s passionate account is finished more impressively by his groans of sorrow. ¡°O wretched man that I am!¡± These groans could be very reminiscent of a captured wounded soldier. One who has been having a prolonged and useless conflict against innumerable hosts and irresistible might! A man, who was finally wounded and lastly taken prisoner, and, to render his state even more miserable, not only is he imprisoned, but he is also chained to a dead body; for, that seems to be the allusion here (2)(3) . An allusion that refers to the ancient tyrant Mezentius (4) and the torture that he inflicted on criminals, namely murders. This punishment was to fasten the murder victims to the back of the murder. This dead body was never to be removed, under penalty of death. The living murder had to then carry his victim around with him everywhere he went. The Roman poet Virgil (70-19 BC) illustrates this atrocity in all its horrors, in the account that he gives of the tyrant Mezentius. What tongue can such barbarities record, Or count the slaughters of his ruthless sword? ¡®Twas not enough the good, the guiltless bled, Still worse, he bound the living to the dead: These, limb to limb, and face to face, he joined; O! monstrous crime, of unexampled kind! Till choked with stench, the lingering wretches lay, And, in the loathed embraces, died away! (5) Paul refers to his old dead self as the dead carcass, stinking and loathsome; and is referenced by him like the punishment just mentioned. Paul emphatically referred to the dying of the woman to the first husband, for example, the body of "this death", referring it to the captivity of one¡¯s mind and attaching it to the law of sin, which was like death to him. No wonder that he wanted deliverance so badly, saying, "who shall deliver me?" In which he speaks not as being ignorant of his deliverer, because he mentions Him with thankfulness in Rom_7:25. Paul knows that he does not doubt or despairing for his deliverance, for he was very much assured of it. He, therefore, gives thanks, to God, beforehand for it. It was as if he was first expressing the inward soul searching. In doing so he was breathing hard, panting. Afterwards we find the earnest, deep-breathing of his relaxed soul. It is as if he was declaring the impossibility of deliverance being obtained by himself. He knew he could not deliver himself from sin. He knew that the law could not deliver him from sin. He knew that none but Jesus could deliver him from sin. And, which he believed, nay, he had faith that Jesus would show His ever-loving agape Grace to Paul and thereby saving him forever and ever.

54 | is it wrong to masterbate? | 1 Cor 7:9 | kw5kw | 141956 | ||
Greetings Ray, For you have said: "The kingdom has high standards certainly; for even when a man looks at a woman with lust for her, he commits adultery with her in his heart." And I most whole-heartly agree with you on this! You said: "I don't believe that masturbation would be so bad, that we should cut off our hands or male body part in order not to go to hell. There is no law against masturbation." I'll agree that there is no law against masturbation. I searched a long time to satify my sinful nature. Then God, speaking to me in a Christian bookstore, and through Dr. Stanley showed me the light with the book "Every Man's Battle." I have learned the error of my ways, and Jesus has accepted my repentance. So, I ask you, what is masturbation? I hope I don't have to answer that here. Masturbation happens because 1. we have lusted over a different sexual partner than our own. Male or female it makes no difference. Lust is lust therefore a sin. Or, 2. We sexually gratify ourselves when our partner is physically unable to help us. Using example number 1, masturbation is imoral and a sin. One that will comdem us to eternal damnation. Using the example number 2, then masturbation could be allowed, if you use only use stimuli from inside the marriage. (You only think of your spouse.) I hope this makes my position more clear. Your friend and brother in Christ. Russ |

55 | Bible story on not accepting negativity? | 1 Cor 8:1 | kw5kw | 156139 | ||
I've always taken James 3:13-18 as dealing with negativity. While the word 'negative' is not listed in the bible, I feel that it is implied in these verses. For the Bible says: "Two Kinds of Wisdom 13Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom. 14But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth. 15Such "wisdom" does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, of the devil. 16For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice. 17But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. 18Peacemakers who sow in peace raise a harvest of righteousness. Put this together with 3John:11 : 11Dear friend, do not imitate what is evil but what is good. Anyone who does what is good is from God. Anyone who does what is evil has not seen God. |

56 | God'love has made salvation to be free | Eph 2:8 | kw5kw | 156994 | ||
Else one could boast that one could give 15 Billion dollars to the victims of Hurricant Katrina and be able to buy their way in. That's why it (salvation) is not of what man does, with the only exception of the one act of accepting Jesus as your saviour. Everything else is a work... your salvation is by faith, faith in the Lord. God then provides His Grace and sends the Holy Spirit to circumcise your heart. Works, from there on out, should reflect your new life in Christ. Giving to orphants, and widows, the homeless and misplaced. Now, your gift of 15 Billion dollars is a work of faith, instead of salvation. His Grace is given freely... all you have to do is to accept it. |

58 | ur view on Contemporary Christian music? | Eph 5:19 | kw5kw | 179858 | ||
Hank wrote: "A couple of years ago while on vacation my wife and I attended a church service where contemporary music was the only kind they offered that day. And for both my wife and me the high point of that experience was when the service was over and we could leave without drawing attention to ourselves!" Hank, I agree completely with this statement, and your entire article. Modern Christian music, in my humble opinion, is nothing short of a travesty! The church where we were attending, voted to go to contempory music. I actually tried to be patient and forgiving, but when they started "rappin'" I said: "That's enuf!" and we haven't been back to that church since. (There is more to the story than music, but music played a very important factor in our decision to find a new Chruch home.) |

59 | Partly under the Law? | Col 2:14 | kw5kw | 146209 | ||
I agree with you, here is just another look at: The Ten Commandments Exodus 20 Jesus did not overthrow the Law of Moses. Remember what Jesus Said: Mat 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. Here are The Ten Commandments as pulled from Exodus 20 and compared to what Jesus and Paul said in the New Testament. 1. Exo 20:3 No other gods before me: Matthew 4:10 Then said Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. 2 Exo 20:4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image (idols): Paul said: 1Co 8:4 As concerning therefore the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is none other God but one. 3 Exo 20:7 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain: Jesus said: Mar 3:29 But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation: 4. Exo 20:8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. : Jesus said: Mat 12:8 For the Son of man is Lord even of the Sabbath day. 5. Exo 20:12 Honor thy father and mother: Jesus said: Mat 19:19 Honor thy father and thy mother 6. Exo 20:13 Thou shalt not kill: Jesus said: Mat 19:18 Thou shalt do no murder, 7. Exo 20:14 Thou shalt not commit adultery: Jesus said: Mat 19:18 Thou shalt not commit adultery 8. Exo 20:15 Thou shalt not steal : Jesus said: Mat 19:18 Thou shalt not steal 9. Exo 20:16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor. : Jesus said: Mat 19:18 Thou shalt not bear false witness, 10. Exo 20:17 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbor's. : Romans 13:9 Paul said: Thou shalt not covet. Therefore the 10 Commandments are still with us today in full effect, either in the old covenant or the new one, they are still in effect. Mat 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Russ |

And, by who's traditions do you follow? I follow the Bible. I might listen to other preachers, but the understanding of the bible tells me if they are right. If they are, then I will listen to their message. I might read other's commentaries, then I check with what the Bible says, and some have it right here others have it right there, but the Bible tells me who has it right each and every time. I might read some post here, most post here in this forum are based upon the Bible--especially the replies from people like kalos, hank, doc and a few others. However, I always take what is written here and compare to what the scriptures teach to come to my conclusions. I have posted some things here that have provoked some reaction. It was reaction that I was needing inorder to get some things in my mind cleared up. I might think at times that this site is a bit more concerned with the letter of the law of the bible than others, but there are reasons for that. The main one is to keep the word of God Holy and Pure. Only Sola Scriptura can keep the intent of the word of God pure. Russ |
