Subject: Hank - Doctrine from God or Man ? |
Bible Note: Ed: Glad we can debate these issues in love. I am not tangled up but rather getting untangled from what I was taught from tradition instead of from accurate, contextual, and consistent scripture. I think I would rather base my beliefs and doctrines on exactly what Jesus did and the disciples did. As I stated their "custom" was they went to the synagogue. How come in Isaiah God said that non-jews could keep the sabbath and the covenant and been in right relationship with God. Could it be that is was law which determined men of God. Guess not. Relying again on 3-4 verses of 1st day references is just not good sound fundamental scriptural interpretation. We must have consistency from God from beginning to end. Got a question: Why was Sabbath made at the beginning before sin ? God could have created it at Sinai. BUT WAIT !!! Actually God tested Israel prior to Sinai and "law" being given. I guess he must have given it earlier that Sinai. Humm Gen.26:5 could actully mean God had His laws in place for man once created. Which would remarkedly be consistent with the creation of the Sabbath. Ya - I agree the Roman Catholic Church was not "really" corupt. Killing and persecuting was something taught by Jesus for the early Church to follow. Sorry for being sarcastic !!! You see the problem created by forcing priests to not have sex and get married is the molestation of children. Many of the popes were actually in the past were actually bastard children from the sexual relations outside of marriage. I would be good to study in detail Daniel and Revelation together to grasp who the beast symbols are in history. I do not at all condemn people in the Catholic denomination but God clearly teaches that is the last days He call people out of Babylon. We are all accountable for our own personal decisions and not acting when we are moved by the truth of the Holy Spirit. Look forward to more discussions, Merv |
