    looking for help reconciling the Sabbath with common observation?

    He kept 2 of the Laws of Moses....not a very long list. Because God is immutable (never changes) So we are to keep these two laws today as well as the rest of the commandments of Jesus that he specifically gave. 1)Love God with all your H.M.S. 2)Love your neighbor as yourself. (Meaning...

    looking for help reconciling the Sabbath with common observation?

    Don't take what I've said so far so seriously....I'm certainly not going to. And it's a cartoon voiced over....not even in the original voice which described Pantheism as well as several versions of modalism. The trinity, while belief in all three being divine and separate is necessary...

    looking for help reconciling the Sabbath with common observation?

    It's from 1,700 years ago.... Saturday was declared to be Sunday.... Christians didn't care....a day is a day....regardless of what it's called. BUT It got everyone on a similar schedule for work and productivity increased which is what Constantine and his advisors were after. This isn't...

    But what about when they made Saturday become Sunday? It's not like Constangine didnt just mess around with the Calendar and made Sunday a weekend day closing all banks.... He also made Saturday, Sunday and turned Frinday into Saturday....etc etc etc.... The Jews noticed this recently about...

    What if repentance is not about feeling guilty, regretful or ashamed? How do you define repentance?

    Well, my euphamistic explanation is kinda incongruent for the reality. Going "goth" is better....then going clean cut.... But it still misses the mark. Repentance is repentance....a complete changing of your mind about your behavior and attitudes. And since most people today believe...

    Why Are So Many Christians Still Single?

    Granted, no woman should marry a grown child....and with the way these women behave...no man should want to marry a grown lil girl either. Because it's not about playing house.... It's about working and giving of yourself to another person.....one who respects such offerings. . The women in...

    What if repentance is not about feeling guilty, regretful or ashamed? How do you define repentance?

    Ever tasted something other people claim is great but you found it to be disgusting or revolting? You tasted it and said, "yuck! I'm never eating that again" Same thing as repentance.

    'Sell your possessions and give to the poor'

    Being a follower of Jesus is one thing. Being accused of being a Christian is another. Self labeling yourself as a Christian means so little it's pathetic. In reality today it can mean just about anything anymore. The accusation by another person however is precious....one that brings a...

    'Sell your possessions and give to the poor'

    Why Are So Many Christians Still Single?

    Here's some food to add to the wrist mill of thinking.... Teenage pregnancies are way down. So are abortions as a whole. But essentially we are no longer making romantic relationships with the goal of permanence between men and women. We have told a whole generation recently they must pick...
