You are so mistaken, as was just demonstrated. Conclusively. You also failed to answer or avoided answering about the other references I cited.
You still are having difficulty distinguishing the difference between not committing adultery and not cutting your beard. Are you familiar with the term ‘moral law’ (aka ‘the laws of love’)?
Tell us again how Jesus set aside any laws by raising the bar? (I hope you are not into track and field events. The limbo, maybe. ) And please respond to the other citations.
I already have. Read the little essay. You obviously have not, just like @ Cody_G.
State your case and then respect other people’s right to agree or disagree. Avoid repeating the same ideas over and over because you have failed to convince everyone to accept your viewpoint.
We probably don’t need to go another 12 rounds on the Sabbath topic, do we?
I read it this morning more throughly than
i did before. It would clarify things for me if you would state in a post exactly how you keep the Sabbath or how all believer’s are to keep it.
Thanks
I think it is a profitable conversation. There are those who may not post that are reading the thread that it may be helpful to. Plus it was important enough for Paul to address and clarify.
Keeping in mind that mercy trumps law, one of the things that I think is obvious is to avoid unnecessary commerce or laboring in a job that is not infrastructure. (Of course, that invites a host of questions, each of which could be its own thread.) The Lord’s Day should not be the biggest shopping day of the week. If all Christians abstained from casual commerce on Sunday, the marketplace would take notice!
One thing that I’ve done before I retired was when I needed to go to a weeklong conference, I would fly on Saturday. Then I could rent a car, find a less expensive hotel than where the conference was and find a church to be with other worshippers the next day. Going on Saturday also applied to one of the few that I’ve driven to that was within a day’s drive.
I’m not saying it’s not an important conversation, but when we get to the point where people are simply repeating what they’ve already said many times and making insinuations about others’ reading comprehension (or ability to understand God’s heart), then maybe it’s time to agree to disagree.
I had to get a special dispensation from my management for one, but I saved enough with the hotel to pay for the car rental and the extra night (I expected to have to pay that out of pocket, but I didn’t need to ).
Having the car for the week was a boon, too – most attendees did not have wheels. I took a man from Mumbai out to eat who had never been out of India before, and I went to an early morning men’s group with some of the guys from the church.
