There isn't anything funny. Sad really. We exchanged on 1 Cor 5 several times with you understanding that we agree on the sacrificial system not being on the same plan as the Passover. Then all of a sudden you go on a three paragraph stint thinking we don't.
The folowing is the summary to the verses provided below it the original post. It is in respect to you mentioning the promised land. I get that you might not understand it. But to think it was posted in respect to the Passover I don't
The question should have been: WERE the ten commandments good or bad for ISREAL? They were given ONLY to Israel and according to 2Cor3:7 they were the "ministry of death" and were temporary commands until the Holy Spirit became the guide for all mankind.
The question, because the ten are no longer the guide for Israel and never were the guide for the remainder of mankind, should be: then what day of the week DID the Sabbath Commandment of Ex 20:8-11 refer to ?
Because there is no command in the new covenant to keep any day. Remember gentiles have never been given a command to observe any day.
because they are humans - and it was given to all humans.
Only if one presumes that the Law given to mankind is not given to Israel because??? Israel is not part of mankind?? what would the thinking be there??
false
That Law telling us not to take God's name in vain is the Law that defines sin for all mankind - "SIN IS transgression of the Law" 1 John 3:4
Nope... it is "still a sin to take God's name in vain".
false
false - again.
Context - it is the same moral law of God known to Jeremiah and his readers in Jer 31:31-34 "I will make a NEW Covenant,,,, I will write My LAW on their heart and mind..."
Why is it that you believe that only ten commandments were written on your heart when you became a Christian?
Like most SDAs Bob will go to any straw man to defend observing a day given only to one nation. I wrote that there is no commandment in the new covenant to keep a day and he responded with: "false - again. As we see the NEW Covenant in Jer 31:31-34 writing that Law of God on the heart where we find "the first commandment with a promise is HONOR your father and mother" Eph 6:1-2.." He might as well not answered my statement at all. His answer is so inane as are all of his other inane answers.
Thank you. I appreciate your perseverance in continuing to engage with Bob. I find myself needing to take regular breaks because, as you say, he dodges direct questions.
Context - it is the same moral law of God known to Jeremiah and his readers in Jer 31:31-34 "I will make a NEW Covenant,,,, I will write My LAW on their heart and mind..."
1. When I use the term "included in the moral law" it is not the same as your 'the only thing in the moral law". You realize that right?
Bob - are you saying that by way of confession on your own part.? Or are you just wanting to falsely accuse others?
indeed - that is false
Which you should bring yourself to respond to if you want to make a point there.
typical ad hominem when your argument fails?... again?
Until we read the actual Bible.
The majority of Jews of Christ day had no persuasion that Christ was the Messiah - your argument is of the form "ignore the scriptures find what the majority prefers instead" is a bit hollow - yet also transparent for the objective unbiased reader.
Thank for your excellent example of cherrypicking scripture. You know, as well as I do, the term "Law" in the New Testament, as, e.g., in Romans, encompasses all of God's commandments in the OT, not just the Ten. However, if you want to slice and dice the Law to exclude all of God's other commandments, then that is your prerogative. I suggest that you abandon your accusations against others who fail to comply with your form of legalism.
You are sadly mistaken. It is the commandments and statutes which are written in the book of the law that is in Our hearts and mouths that we do them. Take note the judgements are not mention within the context of the passage sited. It is also worthy of mention that Romans 10:6-8 paraphrase these text below. Quite the connection God laid out so there is no mistaking it.
Curiously, the vast majority of professing Christians who, theoretically, have all of God's law written on their hearts, do not (and in many cases cannot) obey that Law. Have you any idea why that is?
Thank you for that example of ignoring every scripture referenced in the post and also losing track of your own point in your prior post where you falsely claimed I argue that only the TEN are in the moral law of God.
Not true since we all know Heb 10 distinctly puts and end to the laws for animal sacrifice and offerings.
Which is what you falsely claimed and is what I refuted in my post where you simply ignore every detail in it.
I simply point out that just as the case in your post above - you are not paying attention to the argument in the post that I provided and simply ignoring every text posted - is not the great help you seem to have supposed it to be.
The wild notion that "actually paying attention to the details in the posts" is a "form of legalism" -- is a bit surprising.
To clarify things here, please define the Law for me. How many commandments does it contain? How many are you obligated to obey?
Rom 8:4-12 points to the fact that the born again saints can and do comply with God's Word while the one that is not born again "does not submit to the Law of God - NEITHER INDEED CAN they"
