I have started to post a quick study on the sabbath, I will complement it and edit it over time here is the first draft, let me know if there are any errors, it is not complete there are so many things we can write about the sabbath. I am only touching a few concepts, all is based on scripture as I always do. My only bias I admit is towards the teachings of Jesus, and will always be so.

please see the link;

Why we are supposed to keep the sabbath

Why we are Supposed to Keep the Sabbath

Part 1 of 5: The Sabbath in the Ten Commandments The Sabbath was established by God at creation as a sacred and sanctified day. In Genesis 2:2-3, it is written that God completed His work of creation on the seventh day, rested, and blessed it, making it holy. This act was not because God was...

John 13:34 Mark 12:29-31 Notice Jesus said ”there are No Commandments greater than these”, these two commandments are greater than the Ten Commandments. People fail to see that Jesus came to save us from the ministry of death, written and engraved on stones, the Ten Commandments. 2 Corinthians 3:7 It should be obvious that no one can keep the Ten Commandments because all have sinned and , 1 Corinthians 15:56 It is spiritually illogical to continue trying to keep a law that you can never keep. The two commandments Jesus gave are kept by GODS love in us. Romans 5:5 Romans 13:10 This GODLY love by HIS spirit is what will fulfill the law. This is GOD working in us rather than we attempting to keep a law that only kills us. Trying to keep the Ten Commandments is your work but the two greatest of all commandments that Jesus gave are GOD working in us. What the Ten Commandments could not do GOD did, Romans 8:3 Galatians 4:4-5 Hebrews 10:1-10 Romans 3:20 Acts 13:39 Galatians 2:21 Trying to keep the old covenant Ten Commandments actually denies all that Christ did and you will fall from grace. Galatians 5:4 If we have been given a new covenant then why do people still want to be under the old covenant ? None of this writing will have any effect on a die hard law keeper because they are not converted and can’t understand.

Thank you for clearing this up for me, I thought strong meant that you can believe in a flat & a globe earth

Why would I? :scratch:

I said, all along, I believe in a globe earth and in Genesis 1. How do you get that I am stating a belief in a flat earth, from that?

..... However I would not consider himself evil, rather the powers that have been behind NATO expanding towards Russia despite their promises not to.

You have one unlikely bedfellow (or had since he died in 2015) in the person of Malcolm Fraser, former Prime Minister of Ausralia from 1975 to 1983.

He was conservative to his bootlaces during the Cold War, but realistic in his post cold war thinking.

The following article was the result of an interview by the Emeritus Professor of Politics, Robert Manne.

Robert Manne - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Robert Michael Manne AO (born 31 October 1947) is an Emeritus Professor of Politics and Vice-Chancellor's Fellow at La Trobe University, Melbourne, Australia. He is a leading Australian public intellectual.

The link regarding Malcolm Fraser's thoughts on the post cold war order follow.

Malcolm Fraser: An unlikely radical

Hated by progressives for his role in Gough Whitlam's dismissal and his ultra-conservative foreign policies when Liberal PM, Malcolm Fraser today believes Australia should cut all military ties to the US.

www.smh.com.au

Fraser tells me he was once convinced the swift and peaceable end of the Cold War would create a better world. Ruefully, he concedes he then did not believe it possible that the hope of a new world order powerfully articulated in March 1991 by George Bush snr - of international co-operation under the rule of law - would be so swiftly and comprehensively squandered.

Why did this happen? Fraser places most of the blame on the post-Cold War leadership of the sole remaining superpower, the US. Bill Clinton had no feel for foreign policy. At the end of the Cold War, having served its purpose, NATO should have been wound up.

Novena for the Holy Souls Day 6 11-27-25

My Divine Redeemer, Thou didst die for me on the Cross, and hast so often united Thyself with me in Holy Communion, and I have repaid Thee only with ingratitude. Now, however, I love Thee above all things, O supreme God; and I am more grieved at my offences against Thee than at any other evil. I will rather die than offend Thee again. Grant me the grace of holy perseverance. Have compassion on me, and, at the same time, on the holy souls suffering in Purgatory. Mary, Mother of God, come to their aid with thy powerful intercession.

Say one Our Father, one Hail Mary, and the Prayer to Our Suffering Saviour for the Holy Souls in Purgatory below.

Prayer to Our Suffering Saviour for the Holy Souls in Purgatory

O most sweet Jesus, through the bloody sweat which Thou didst suffer in the Garden of Gethsemani, have mercy on these Blessed Souls. Have mercy on them. R. Have mercy on them, O Lord.

O most sweet Jesus, through the pains which Thou didst suffer during Thy most cruel scourging, have mercy on them. R. Have mercy on them, O Lord.

O most sweet Jesus, through the pains which Thou didst suffer in Thy most painful crowning with thorns, have mercy on them. R. Have mercy on them, O Lord.

O most sweet Jesus, through the pains which Thou didst suffer in carrying Thy cross to Calvary, have mercy on them. R. Have mercy on them, O Lord.

O most sweet Jesus, through the pains which Thou didst suffer during Thy most cruel Crucifixion, have mercy on them. R. Have mercy on them, O Lord.

O most sweet Jesus, through the pains which Thou didst suffer in Thy most bitter agony on the Cross, have mercy on them. R. Have mercy on them, O Lord.

O most sweet Jesus, through the immense pain which Thou didst suffer in breathing forth Thy Blessed Soul, have mercy on them. R. Have mercy on them, O Lord.

(Recommend yourself to the Souls in Purgatory and mention your intentions here)

Blessed Souls, I have prayed for thee; I entreat thee, who are so dear to God, and who are secure of never losing Him, to pray for me a miserable sinner, who is in danger of being damned, and of losing God forever. Amen.

Amen! It blows my mind how certain people seem to have no problem with the Unuted States being flooded with ILLEGAL immigrants or with despicable, radical left policies and rhetoric that fan the flames of hatred, violence, lawlessness and treason. They only have a problem with Trump because he is standing up against the radical left's agenda to destroy America.

Come on, destroy America? They don't want to destroy America, they just want to reshape it to a woke gender fluid commie socialist atheist Islamic Caliphate where the wealth is distributed to those who deserve it most with abortions and gender realignment services are performed free of charge without parental consent at the government run indoctrination centers formerly known as public schools.

I'm sure it will be fabulous.

This is exactly what you are suspicious of in post #684. They, just like you announce here, believe that they are lead by God and therefore immune to deceit.

CF Rules state "Stating or implying that another Christian member, or group of members, are not Christian is not allowed." Terms and rules

I don't know who the true Christians are, only the born again believer and God know. So I would never conclude that someone is not a Christian. But I can point out erroneous and unbiblical interpretations of scripture.

I'm not sure if you've ever heard of the expression "iron sharpens iron", this is where Christians encourage each other by sharing the truth of the gospel.

Well, the 'woke' could tell you that because you have traditional moral values or christian values, you are a fascist right wing extremist.
but lately i don't take seriously any of those people and the media is contaminated with those ideas too.

Or it could be that the volunteers themselves have asked. In the case I dealt with, the volunteers were wanting to radically change the way they worked (to reduce client contact) before they were given the training.

We exist for contact, so we must have that. We cannot have our special status as an essential service without "drop in", and we would not be able to help a lot of people without it. I will just wait and see, there is a staff meeting on Monday. I will try to be positive, and make sure my humble opinion on the drama incident is heard.

It is good to hear that it might be about everyone else's confidence, some of the newer volunteers might just not be familiar with the possible risks.

This is why some Christians get a bad rep. They don’t seem to care about the feelings of other people and appear to go out of their way to insert themselves unsolicited into other people’s lives.

The vicarious death of Christ, and the shedding of His blood, saw the complete fulfilment of the old covenant arrangement and the instigation of new covenant. Nothing else! Calvary secured it all! Jesus cried out “It is finished” in John 19:30. This is taken from the lone Greek word tetélestai. This means completed, executed, concluded, discharged (as in a debt). It also means paid in full or accomplished.

What was paid in full or accomplished? The penalty and punishment for your sin and mine. It has been wonderfully and eternally paid for!

Once Christ gave up the ghost, the curtain in the temple was ripped in two, denoting that the old covenant was rendered useless. It was finished!!! Whilst the cross ushered in the new covenant, and the removal of the old covenant, many of the outward manifestations of the old covenant still remained, because of the ignorance and rebellion of man. God dismantled the outward facade of the disannulled covenant, removing every last vestige of it.

The Israel of God must have been irrational in their behavior in acts 10 and acts 21 then.

You should have gone back in time to remind them of all these.

At the same time, remind the resurrected Christ that he should have said all that you are saying here to the 12, instead of saying Matthew 28:20, you seem to think you can do a better job than him.

“Pursue peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no one will see the Lord. See to it that no one comes short of the grace of God; that no root of bitterness springing up causes trouble, and by it many be defiled.” (Hebrews 12:14-15 NASB1995)

Peace with all people must include peace with God. For we are never to compromise our faith and biblical convictions and the teachings of Christ and of his New Testament apostles in order to be at peace with anyone. We are never to compromise truth, righteousness, and moral purity so that others will like us, and so they will approve of us. But if we know that we said or did something to offend another person, because of something we did or said in the flesh, then we need to repent of our sin and seek their forgiveness and reconciliation. And they may still reject us, but we must do our part.

For we are also to pursue “the sanctification without which no one will see the Lord.” And sanctification is holiness and purification. For when we believe in Jesus Christ with God-gifted and God-persuaded faith in him, it results in us being crucified with Christ in death to sin, and us being raised with Christ to walk in newness of life in him, no longer to live as slaves to sin but as servants of God and of his righteousness, in holy living. And to be holy is to be separate (different, unlike) the world because we are being progressively conformed by God to the likeness of character of Jesus Christ, our Lord.

And if we are to see to it that no one comes short of the grace of God, what should that look like for us? Well, the grace of God is his kindness towards us who are sinners by nature. And in his kindness he sent his only begotten Son Jesus Christ, who was God in the flesh (fully God and fully human), to die on a cross and to put our sins to death with him so that, by faith in him, we will now die to sin and live to God and to his righteousness in walks of obedience to his commands in holy living and in surrender to his will. For this purpose Jesus gave his life up for us on that cross to free us from sin.

And God’s grace, which is bringing us salvation, is training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives while we wait for Jesus’ return. God’s grace to us is never free license to keep on living in sin and for self. For Christ “gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession who are zealous for good works.” “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.” (See Titus 2:11-14; Ephesians 2:8-10)

So, if we are to see to it that no one comes short of the grace of God, then we are extending ourselves to others to show them compassion and forgiveness of sins. This does not put our stamp of approval on their sins, for that is the opposite of biblical grace. So to show them the grace of God is not only in us forgiving them, but it is in us sharing with them the message of the gospel of our salvation that Jesus died on that cross, not just to forgive us our sins, but to deliver us out of our slavery (addiction) to sin so that we can now serve him with our lives in obedience to his commands.

We are never to become bitter, angry, and unforgiving people. But again, forgiveness and grace are not tolerance of deliberate and habitual sin. Grace never approves of sin, but it forgives the sinner who is repentant, and it gives the sinner a chance to change, and a chance to be forgiven and to live a new life in Christ Jesus free from addiction to sin, and free to now serve God with their lives in holy living. But forgiveness is not permission for the sinner to continue in sin without punishment. For all who make sin their practice, and not obedience, they will not inherit eternal life with God.

[Matthew 7:13-14,21-23; Luke 9:23-26; John 10:27-30; Acts 26:18; Romans 1:18-32; Romans 2:5-10; Romans 3:23; Romans 6:1-23; Romans 8:1-14; 1 Corinthians 10:1-22; Galatians 5:16-24; Ephesians 2:8-10; Ephesians 4:17-32; Ephesians 5:3-6; Titus 2:11-14; Hebrews 3:1-19; Hebrews 4:1-13; Hebrews 10:19-39; Hebrews 12:1-2; 1 Peter 2:24; 1 John 1:1-10; 1 John 2:3-6; 1 John 3:4-10; Revelation 2:1-29; Revelation 3:1-22]

His Strength Is Perfect

Steven Curtis Chapman

I can do all things
Through Christ who gives me strength
But sometimes I wonder what He can do through me
No great success to show
No glory of my own
Yet in my weakness He is there to let me know

His strength is perfect when our strength is gone
He'll carry us when we can't carry on
Raised in His power, the weak become strong
His strength is perfect, His strength is perfect

We can only know
The power that He holds
When we truly see how deep our weakness goes
His strength in us begins
Where ours comes to an end
He hears our humble cry and proves again

His strength is perfect when our strength is gone
He'll carry us when we can't carry on
Raised in His power, the weak become strong
His strength is perfect, His strength is perfect

BelieveItOarKnot said:
I just don't believe that's the case for multiple reasons. And I certainly don't believe God burns His Own children alive forever or eternally kills them. To me, that's out there. Demonic.

The reason this must happen has to do with,
1 Corinthians 15:35-37 KJV
35 But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?
36 Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die:
37 And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain:

And,
1 Corinthians 15:44 KJV
It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.

What Apostle Paul is telling us is our fleshly body/natural body is like a seed that is planted, and produces another form.

All men who ever lived, their fleshly bodies will be spiritual bodies upon resurrection and will live forever - because they will be spiritual.

Then there will be a separation. Those who are not raised at Christ’s second coming, but who will face the white throne judgment, will be considered corrupted spiritual bodies who will live forever. But, they must be put in a place of punishment- God’s righteousness demands it. They cannot be allowed to roam around being corrupted and live forever. That’s the reason why man was put out of the garden after they ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil - because, if they had not been put out in time, they would have eaten from the tree of life and lived forever- then God would have had to deal with corrupted beings that would have lived forever. So, it’s for that same reason. Something has to be done with those who will resurrect in spiritual bodies and who will live forever, but remain corrupt because they refused Christ and did not receive the Holy Spirit - the Spirit of life.

Those who are raised in Christ will be with Christ in the heavenly Jerusalem and live with Him forever.

The place of torture is explained. The fire in hell is the same fire that rained down from Heaven on Sodom and Gomorrah - fire and brimstone. Brimstone is sulfur - burning sulfur.

It is said several times in the Bible to cast them into outer darkness. Where is outer darkness? It’s the outer darkness that surrounds earth - the solar system, where the planets are.
Venus is a planet full of sulfuric gas and thick clouds of sulfuric acid.
Jupiter contains sulfur
Mercury contains sulfur
And other planets

From the way it seems, this is where those who will live forever, but have not accepted Christ, will go. It’s a place they will not be able to leave - they will be bound there forever (maybe based on that planet’s gravitational pull) - in a place burning with fire and brimstone called hell fire.

Can you imagine standing on Mars, a planet whose surface is only fire and burning sulfuric acid (fire and brimstone), raining down on you constantly, with sulfuric acid spitting out of volcanos, sulfuric acid rain, sulfuric acid tornadoes, etc.
