  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

    Modern Day Antinomianism.

    The fact that cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything in the Law of God straightforwardly means that those who do not continue to do everything in the Law of God subject themselves to the cruse of the law, not those who place themselves under it. In Matthew 4:15-23, Jesus...

    Modern Day Antinomianism.

    In Romans 5-8, Paul spoke about the Law of God as being something that is the good that he wanted to do and the law of sin as being something that was causing him not to do the good that he wanted to do. For example, in Romans 7:22-23, Paul said that he delighted in obeying the Law of God, so it...

    Psalms 119

    The Hebrews word "Torah" used in Psalm 119 refers to all of the Law of Moses, not to just the Ten Commandments. In Matthew 4:4, Jesus said that man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that comes from the mouth of God, not just the Ten Commandments.

    New not renewed Covenant

    I don't see how you can read Deuteronomy 30:1-10 and think that it is speaking about the present tense when it repeatedly speaks about what will happen. What do you see as the difference between being of the Torah and being followers of it? The New Covenant still involves following the Torah...

    New not renewed Covenant

    God's character traits are eternal there is a reality that is true about the way to know God through embodying character traits that was true before God made any covenants with man, which has been revealed through God's covenants, and which is true regardless of which covenant someone is under...

    Are professed Christians that worship our Lord on Sunday instead of Saturday sinning?

    According to Galatians 5:14, everyone who has ever loved their neighbor has fulfilled the entire law, so it refers to something that countless people have done and should continue to do in perpetuity, not to something unique that only Jesus did, though only Jesus kept the law perfectly. In...

    Are professed Christians that worship our Lord on Sunday instead of Saturday sinning?

    Christ spent the vast majority of his ministry teaching Jews to obey the Mosaic Law by word and by example and in Matthew 28:16-20, he commissioned his disciples to teach to the nations everything that he taught them. Being a Christian is about following what Christ taught, not about refusing...

    Are professed Christians that worship our Lord on Sunday instead of Saturday sinning?

    God's character traits are eternal, so everything that the Law of Moses teaches us about how to embody God's character traits are eternally valid. For example, God's righteousness is eternal (Psalm 119:142), therefore all of God's righteous laws are eternal (Psalm 119:160), and the only way...

    Are professed Christians that worship our Lord on Sunday instead of Saturday sinning?

    I don't see a reason to think that Christians weren't following Christ's example of keeping the Sabbath holy.

    Are professed Christians that worship our Lord on Sunday instead of Saturday sinning?

    You’re welcome. How does my interpretation collide with the plain reading? The position that followers of Christ should follow his example of obedience to what God has commanded should be everyone’s preferred interpretation.

    Are professed Christians that worship our Lord on Sunday instead of Saturday sinning?

    If it did nothing, then by do you think that one of the things that the Bible most frequently criticizes the Israelites for is not keeping the Sabbath?

    Imputed Righteousness. The True & The False.

    Works righteousness is the position that we are required to have first done enough works in order to earn our righteousness as the result, however, that is not my position because I denied that we can earn our righteousness even as the result of having perfect obedience to the Law of God...

    Imputed Righteousness. The True & The False.

    The only way for someone to attain a character trait is through faith apart from being required to have first done enough works in order to earn it as the result, but it would be contradictory for someone to attain a character trait apart becoming a doer of works that embody that trait. The Law...

    Believer are already Holy

    The Law of God was never given as a way of earning holiness or righteousness, but to describe the life of someone who is righteous and holy as it describes the life of Christ. The only way to attain a character trait is through faith, but what it means to have a character trait is to be a doer...

    CAN YOU HAVE GOD'S GRACE WITHOUT GOD'S LAW?

    While I agree that grace is a gift given to those who obey God’s laws, then content of that gift is teaching us to obey them.
