    Why have Christians forgotten the fourth Commandment?

    And before I get a twisted answer out of that,, the answer is, ummm, NO! Your future isn't handed to you on a silver platter just because you believe it will be,, and after all, you are a really nice loving person. You can get the gift of a scholarship, but that is hardly a free ride. Your...

    Why have Christians forgotten the fourth Commandment?

    Hypothetical here.. Your kid comes home from school upset. The other kids have been teasing him because he studies in class when the others are clowning. They call him the teacher's pet because he raises his hand when the teacher asks a question. They call him a nerd because he works hard and...

    Why have Christians forgotten the fourth Commandment?

    I don't get what you are saying becuase it doesn't make sense. The Sabbaths are a shadow of what things to come? So they kept the days in the OT to honor what was to come. Now we don't have to keep the Sabbaths becuase why, the things have come and gone now? What things? I want to know becuse...

    Why have Christians forgotten the fourth Commandment?

    I don't know if you were responding to my last question or not. But if you were, you didn't answer it. I want to know about the shadow of things to come. What event(s) do the Sabbaths represent that has come and gone, so it is done and no longer needs the representation of the Sabbaths anymore...

    Why have Christians forgotten the fourth Commandment?

    I don't quite understand,, maybe,, okay. Are you saying that the Sabbaths were claimed to represent things to come, and those things have all come now and are done in the new covenant, so you would not keep a celebration for something to come, that has past already? Seriously, I wasn't quite...

    Why have Christians forgotten the fourth Commandment?

    "Those who accept the Freedom we have in Jesus and see all such laws as a shadow of things to come." I keep seeing this term, a shadow of things to come, thrown around alot. Almost like the term somehow supports not keeping the commandments, and somehow especially the Sabbaths. I would really...

    Are All Ten Commandments Binding on WHO?

    Yes, what about those that know nothing about God or His commandments? I'd like to hear your theory on that. mik

    Why have Christians forgotten the fourth Commandment?

    Just trying to get a feel for where you are coming from is all. I too have been a bit confused by how much of the NT you accept, yet don't accept. My fast is coming, next month just before Feast of Tabernacles. That is the only one involved with the Sabbaths, but we do have an extra fasting day...

    Are All Ten Commandments Binding on WHO?

    Yes, grafted into the seed of Abraham,, just like Judah was of the seed of Abraham. Christianity is not separate from the old covenent, Christianity is rooted in it... Rom 11.14 if by any means I may provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh and save some of them. 15 For if their being...

    Why have Christians forgotten the fourth Commandment?

    Ben, I'm trying to agree with you here. I agree that Peter was not the first pope and in fact had nothing to do with starting the Catholic church. You said that you keep the Sabbath, and I asked before but I don't think that you answered,, do you keep any of the annual Sabbaths,, Holy Days? If...

    Are All Ten Commandments Binding on WHO?

    A secretary takes the dictation, types up the letter, even signs the boss's name sometimes, mails the letter, but it was all still the boss's thoughts and words. Same thing here. You asked for one claim, I answered you. You danced around my answers and started telling me how you, in your wisdom...

    Why have Christians forgotten the fourth Commandment?

    No no.. I said "Actually, Acts 8 records the beginning of the Catholic church, and the origins of its first pope, Simon Magus, whom the Catholics falsly identify as Simon Peter." I don't believe for a minute that it was Peter or Paul, but Simon Magus (Simon the Scorcerer). And no more rolling...

    Are All Ten Commandments Binding on WHO?

    2 Tim 3.14 But you must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them, 15 and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16 All...

    Why have Christians forgotten the fourth Commandment?

    If their pope was in the Bible and could somehow be interpreted to be canceling the Sabbath, wouldn't they cling to that? Paul wasn't the first pope. (I feel like,, if we were in a room together, this would be the part where I'd yell out 'Was not!'.. and stomp my foot on the ground and stick out...

    Are All Ten Commandments Binding on WHO?

    Oh, well, that was all very nice of you! So I think I will stand by what I originally said as it really appears to apply...You see it all the time.. (people speaking for God, correcting God)... "' Or how about my favorite.. 'Well, the Bible isn't 100% accurate, some things are correct writings...

    Freewill and Volition

    Yes, it is obvious that Jesus Christ saw him as real enough, all through the gospels. And, correct me if I am wrong, but the book of Peter is one of the books of the NT that you respect? This book gives us a very strong warning about Satan, our adversary. Mark 1.13 And He was there in the...

    Why have Christians forgotten the fourth Commandment?

    It was quite a lengthy study and write up by Cardinal Gibbons. The Christian Sabbath (Catholic Mirror - Wikisource) Here is what they had to say about the Sabbath and the new Testament... ...Examining the New Testament from cover to cover, critically, we find the Sabbath referred to...

    Are All Ten Commandments Binding on WHO?

    If I keep the 10 commandments, not just the letter, but in the spirit that they were intended, am I not keeping the other as well? I do not keep any of these for merit, I do these as an act of love towards the Father that gave these, (John 14.15, 21; 1 John 5.3)and because I know that Jesus was...

    Are All Ten Commandments Binding on WHO?

    Well now,, that's just funny!! Sounds like a pompous and ignorant thing to say, doesn't it? Well I didn't say it (about me). I was summing up what appears to be the overwhelming attitude of people in all of these topics that I have read. 'I happen to know which are correct... so listen to MY...
