Quote (942767 @ Sep. 12 2007,14:30)I believe that Ken is correct by stating that we should obey God's commandments including the Forth Commandment, but whatever we do as born again believers in the body of Christ we do out of love for God and for humanity.  And as I have already stated, I believe that it is the principle of resting on the seventh…[Read more]

Thanks, Stu.So, if I understand you correctly, the apes in Africa have not become men because they have no need to complete in the way that would bring that evolution about?I'll take a look at the website this evening…..I'm brave. Have a good one,Mandy

Quote (kenrch @ Sep. 13 2007,03:02)Did they as soon as they sinned repented and was forgiven “on the spot” without having to wait a year for a priest to sprinkle them with animal blood?This is a very good point.As I am studying and waiting on the LORD for understanding, this point keeps coming back to me that our Father has a reason for…[Read more]

I'm glad it is simple for you, Ken.  For the rest of us, it's a bit of a challenge to sift through the OT laws and commandments to see who they were written to – if they still apply – which part of the law was fulfilled – and which part of the law is already accomplished.  There is a bit more to obedience than just saying, follow the 10 c…[Read more]

Quote (kenrch @ Sep. 12 2007,04:49)It's not rocket science. The scriptures are direct and clearly plain…..Keep His Commandments. It is certainly NOT as hard to understand as the Trinity.37 pages in this thread alone, not counting other's on the topic of the Commandments and the Sabbath….with all due respect, Ken, it's anything but direct and…[Read more]

Happy,My heart joins with the all the brethren – Amen!

Hey Stu,Question for you – why did we stop evolving? In other words, why do we still have apes – shouldn't they all be men by now? Or is there really a correlation there? I mean, why did some apes turn into men and not other's? Secretly I've always known men were apes, but this is perplexing indeed! Actually it only sounds like I'm making…[Read more]

Is the “law” that Paul speaks about the 10 Commandments?

Quote (Laurel @ Sep. 11 2007,17:32)Quote (Not3in1 @ Sep. 11 2007,03:55)Laurel,A bit of confusion in my mind this morning over the fact that the OT folks came to the Father through the Son.  The Son wasn't given yet, so how could they have come through him; that is, approach God in his name?  I had thought that the OT folks came to God through t…[Read more]

WJ,Thank you for your very thoughtful post. I am still studying this subject. The Lord has been giving me little bits of truth here and there. I believe that God's laws are written on our hearts, and we will obey him because we love him. So, the question that remains is – what is required? Is a Sabbath rest required? Is it required on a…[Read more]

1 Corinthians 9:19-23Let us do what we can to encourage the gospel, and not discourage it.

KJ,Very good points.  You have given something to ponder for the day – thank you.I have been wanting to set-aside the Sabbath for the last two weekends, and guess what?  Something seems to prevent it.  Of course being in a major remodel doesn't help – but I am willing to forgo responsibilities to please the LORD.  Our cat became ill and I had to…[Read more]
