No. The sabbath day commandment was given at Horeb (Sinai) only to those who were there. Specifically not to Abraham nor any patriarch. Deut 5: “The Lord our God made a covenant with us in Horeb. 3 The Lord did not make this covenant with our fathers, but with us, those who are here today, all...

You make a good point: why are some so impressed with stone when the same God populated the heavens and made life itself. Another question: what commandments were NOT added because the Israelites sinned? You'll find many examples before Sinai and after the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

He's the seal of the deal! :cool: "In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise..."

Yes! He is the new and living way into the presence of the Father. The confession of our hope in Him secures our place in Him.

You need to stop inserting "The 10 Commandments" whenever you see the word "commandments". That causes a lot of bad doctrine and religion.

Amen! Isaiah 66 is such a LOADED chapter about the Kingdom of the Son! In the Kingdom of the Son of His love our time with the Lord never ceases because He indwells His people. "And it shall come to pass That from one New Moon to another, And from one Sabbath to another, All flesh shall come...

What should I do? Ignore or hit the wrong button? Is this freewill? :geek:

As long as the grenades are the King James Version... Don't be yeeting those NIV grenades in here!

Yes. Man lives by bread (Jesus Christ is the bread from heaven) every rhema (word) from God. That is: the word that Our Father continues to speak. To claim that the written law is our best guide is to claim that we are unable to hear God's rhema word. In John 13, when speaks, it is recorded...

Jesus refers to Abel as "righteous Abel": "..that on you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah, son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar." Interestingly, in the passage He is condemning the...

In furtherance of this: THIS is the law that God writes on the hearts and minds of the people of faith, NOT the Law given at Sinai. The law that existed before Sinai was the law "The Father loves the son. The son only does what He sees His Father doing." "For this is the covenant that I will...

Well, yes. A lot of bad religion has been created because we insert "the Law given at Sinai" whenever we read the word "commandment". The gospel is about divine representation whereby mankind may be reconciled to God as sons of God. "..Adam, the son of God." Before man was created, we see...

What you are bumping up against is this simple truth: the Law was added. It was not in God's original plan to create the Law. It was added because of the Jew's disobedience. So when the Pharisees reference the Law, Jesus trumps their "trap" with the original standard of God: man and wife are...

Within one generation, murder (fratricide) entered the world. Cain killed Abel. By extension, Cain eliminated an entire line of people that could have come from "righteous Abel".

There's several things that have always interested me about the record of the fall of man. 1. Adam was with Eve when she was being tempted by the serpent. "So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took...

To get his back on topic: How did it go? :) @JesusIsSovereign

Traditions aren't bad. Only traditions that cloud our understanding... as I stated. :cool:

You keep making the same mistake. When you read “commandments” you insert “10 Commandments at Sinai”. I think it’s an addiction for control.

All of the Law including the 10 Commandments. Those aren't my words. Those are Peter's. I suppose you could be better than Peter and all the generations of Jewish fathers but it's a long shot.

"Spending time with God" Is it your time to spend? In the Gospel of Christ, one has no time of their own to spend. They learn to do only what the Lord is currently doing.
