61 | Pagan doctrines are in the Church !!!! | NT general Archive 1 | swerv | 149403 | ||
Brad: This is a good question. Maybe it can be looked at from the perspective of history. The Reformation came as a result of careful study of scripture and searching for Truth. It did not happen overnight. Jesus and Paul taught about fasle doctrines during their time. Has Christianity evolved into a perfect state ? Does the devil take a break in trying to lead people away from Christ ? I do believe the answer is no for both questions ! As I have stated before I have grown up in a Methodist and Baptist background. But real understanding and truth comes from earnest study of scripture. I do believe there are many false doctrines that are not supported by scripture. Please respond if you would like to discuss these doctrines further. In love, Merv |

Well Hank: I respect your view but choose not to take your advice. I use many different forums and you have the choice to use others as well. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO ANSWER ! But if you choose to I will be willing to "reason" the various views within the Christian community. So instead of making personal attacks on myself and views that I hold - how about answering the question. Why did God give a command when there was yet sin present in Adam and Eve ? Searching for truth, Swerv |

64 | Why did God test Adam and Eve ? | Genesis | swerv | 153618 | ||
I agree - thanks for the response ! The result of there choice not to obey God resulted in the punishment of death. The only way we then can have eternity is to repent and show God we are willing to obey out of love and not "legalism". God's law are a blessing to us and not a curse. Keeping His law reveals our love and loyalty to God. There was a definite reason why the 10 commandments were placed inside the ark and not outside like the handwritten laws of Moses. In love, Swerv |

Hi Doc: Thanks for the website !! But clearly I am not just addressing yourself or Hank with these questions - unless you both feel you are the only ones on this forum willing to respond to my questions and notes. There are plenty of responses which I would like to get to - instead of always having to respond to your negative comments. AGAIN - you do not have to respond to my notes or questions. Do I have to keep repeating this over and over. Swerv |

Yes I agree !! The next question that follows - is what are the laws that NT Christians are required to obey. You said it was "never a test of obedience". But you say it was a commandment. Does not these two things go hand in hand. You said "no matter what we are suppose to always obey God". I think we agree that God wants our love and the laws He puts in place are for our benefit - so to show our love for God we should keep his commands. I think you would agree but you can let me know. I believe - after careful study of many views - that we are required to follow all of God's laws and the main foundation of all of God's law is the 10 commandments. This brings us to the tough question then -- why do we not keep the 7th day Sabbath ? In love, Swerv |

67 | Why did God test Adam and Eve ? | Genesis | swerv | 153621 | ||
Hi Beseder: I am looking for input on the word "law". Since you quote the psalmist "His law is (still) my delight". Would you agree then that the 10 commandment law is still as binding now as it was for the Jewish people of the OT. Unfortunately - some people want to classify "keeping the law" as "works-based stuff". The reason - I believe - this happens - is because our tendancy is to not want to follow God's commands !! This goes right back to the rebellion in the Garden of Eden. I believe man has fallen away from God's law. Daniel 7:25 talks about the antichrist system wanting to change God's laws. The Sabbath was changed from the 7th day to the 6th day. But the problem is that God only sanctified one day which is the 7th day. What are your views on these matters. In love, Swerv |
||||||
68 | Why did God test Adam and Eve ? | Genesis | swerv | 153622 | ||
Yes - faith in God means we trust Him. But when God says not to do something - it is a command to test our obedience. Just like when the Moses led the people out of Edgypt - the very first thing God did was to "test" them if they would keep His Sabbath. Since sin entered the universe through Satan - God must test our faithfulness by His laws. God loves all people but only our love and obedience will show God we do not choose sin but rather His love. In love, Swerv |

Ok we agree ! So do you think keeping Sunday is doing right or wrong according to the 4th commandment. The Sabbath is the 7th day (Saturday). It is historical that Sunday worship has its origins in paganism. Although, the NT arguement is that it is Christ's resurection day - which all do agree - I see no instruction or new command to keep a different day other than the original day which was sanctified and made holy by God. This day was made for the purposes of resting and therefore we would have the time to spend it worshiping God. What is your view ? In love, Swerv |

Hey Steve: Been awhile since we have discussed issues. It is not myself that whats the 7th day as the Sabbath - I am trying to find out what God wants. Your saying we have to obey the legal systems of the country. Why then did Daniel not bow down to the idol. The reason is it went against Gods commands. So also we need to follow the command of the Sabbath - and I believe it is the 7th day. Of course we obey the rules of our country as long as they do not conflict with Gods commands. According to prophecy - I do believe that soon Sunday will be enforced as a day we must honour. Good talking to you again, Swerv |

71 | Why did God test Adam and Eve ? | Genesis | swerv | 155095 | ||
Hi Beseder: Yes Rom. 14 is an area of debate on its context and meaning. I believe the context is about the uncleanliness of food due to idol sacrifices. And the sabbaths talked about are the ceremonial sabbaths that were added by God to point them to Christs coming and His replacement of the sacrificial laws which included keeping these aditional sabbaths. The unclean meat was laid out to Gods people after the flood. The Sabbath was created in the beginning and has been followed since creation. Romans 14 has nothing to due with giving permission to eat unclean meat which God says defiles the body and is an abomination. The esteemed unclean meat had to with idol contamination. Since the meat was offered to idols it was esteemed to now be unclean. But Paul says and idol is nothing so the Christians were not to judge one another on this issue. Also, the 7th Day Sabbath is not the subject in Romans 14. Instead it is the additional sabbath feast which the Christians should not judge each other on. Look forward to your reply, Swerv |

BradK: I respect your comments but I will continue to insist that you not respond unless you wish to discuss these issues of which I am searching for clear answers. Of course, I may have my beliefs but I am open minded and wish to prove all things. In love, Swerv |

Mark: Yes I follow Gods command to rest from work from sundown Friday until sundown Saturday. I feel it is a great blessing to live in a country that allows one the freedom to worship how and when they feel called. And yes it has caused me to alter my career. I fully agree that every opportunity should be taken to study the Bible and fellowship. If you can do it 7 days a week - then great. But at the same time God clearly instructs us to provide for our family which should revolve around 1st day to 6th day. But of course - if the work schedule permits and it does not take valuable time away from your family - then yes be involved with the Church activities to grow and spread the gospel. Remember - it was the Jews who added law upon law and made the Sabbath a burdensome stone. God never intended it to be that way. It is a blessing ! Not doing work on that day is to be a blessing not a bunch of irretable restrictions that cause us more heachaches. As I have repeated many times - Rom. 14 and Col. 2:16 -- are taken purposely out of context to support doing away with the Sabbath. Rom. 14 -- is all about idol worship and esteemed unclean meat from idol sacrifices and the sabbaths or special days are not referring to the 7th day Sabbath but instead the additional sabbath feasts. Remember the gentiles came into the faith without these Jewish feasts. The Jewish Christians thought the new gentile Christians should keep the Jewish feasts. But remember these feasts are a shaddow of Christs coming to be the perfect sacrifice for sins. Once Christ died on the cross - His death ripped the veil in the sanctuary and thus ending the sacrificial system and all the feats surrounding this system. We no longer sacrifice lambs or keep these feasts - right !!!! Unfortunately, the devil has spread his lies in the mainstream Church to lead people away from following Gods commands. But again this is my belief and I feel I have the scriptures to justify this reasoning. Love in Christ, Swerv |

74 | Was everything really created in 7 days | Gen 1:2 | swerv | 155017 | ||
Royfish: Yes fully agree - I assume you also believe the days of creation were literal days. Each creative day was said to have morning and evening. Do you believe the 7th day is the only Holy day made by God. Swerv |

75 | Noah took 7 clean but only 2 unclean ? | Gen 9:3 | swerv | 153689 | ||
Right - I agree. Do you think them these unclean and clean laws regarding the meat we eat are still binding on NT Christians. I believe God is unchanging and "if" we do eat meat we should be aware of God's commands - in what he considers clean meat so that we do not defile our bodies. In love, Swerv |
||||||
76 | Noah took 7 clean but only 2 unclean ? | Gen 9:3 | swerv | 153742 | ||
ok - let me know if I can help in your "reasoning" Food for thought - I do not believe the NT has any scriptures that contradict the OT regarding following God's laws about not eating unclean animal meat. Scriptures that are used - in my opinion - are taken clearly out of context. Look forward to more discussions, Swerv |

77 | Noah took 7 clean but only 2 unclean ? | Gen 9:3 | swerv | 153779 | ||
Well Hank: You have the right to not respond to my questions or notes. But from looking at the guidelines I think sharing truth and knowledge is the goal of the forum. I look forward to "reasoning" what that truth is from the scriptures. But you should look at the guidelines where we are to be respectful ! Searching for truth, Swerv |
||||||
78 | Noah took 7 clean but only 2 unclean ? | Gen 9:3 | swerv | 155012 | ||
Glad to here that. I believe clean and unclean is ignored by the Church today. But there is really no good reason for it. Health and science is proving the diet of God to be correct and best for our health. Please let me know what you think of the Sabbath issue - as far as it being Saturday or Sunday or does it really matter. I believe the 10 commandments were wrote on stone for a very good reason. They were meant to show they are permanent. Actually I believe the 10 commandment moral principles have existed since creation until our modern era. If God made the 7th day to be Holy - why would it be changed. All the best, Swerv |

79 | Noah took 7 clean but only 2 unclean ? | Gen 9:3 | swerv | 155016 | ||
Doc: I respect you have a different set of Christian beliefs. If you want to discuss the differences and show me where there is biblical support for eternal Hell (place of torment to non-believers), or support for an immediate immortal soul upon death (either in Hell or Heaven), or support for the 1st day being made Holy, or support for a 7 year tribulation period, or support or eating unclean meat -------- then I will be happy to discuss them sharing clear and concise biblical verse to support my understanding of truth in these areas. If you wish not too then I would advise you to respond to other comments or questions. Look forward to honest discussion or I wish you all the best and pray you have confidence in you understanding of truth, Swerv |

Doc: I am sorry you feel this way ! I am only responding to your comments. You need not respond anymore then you have no problem. Maybe you should focus on your goals for what you want to attain from this forum and not worry about other people. You seem to be going out of your way to cause a conflict by acting as the police of this forum. You have no right to judge my intentions or my beliefs. You have the right to discuss your understanding of truth in a resopectful and mature way. I wish to discuss the biblical issues and strive to see the truth clearly. Again, if you wish to discuss the bible then I look forward to your comments or questions. Sincerely, Swerv |
