Now John UK,Since we are so close to the end ,even if you do not believe it .In any case when the end comes ..( 5/21/11 )
how do you John UK deal with this question ?
"GOD IS UNDER THE SAME LAW !HOW MUCH PUNISHMENT?
Deuteronomy 25:3 Forty stripes he may give him, and not exceed: lest, if he should exceed, and beat him above these with many stripes, then thy brother should seem vile unto thee.
So then John UK the question must be asked !
How then can "GOD " "PUNISH " a person...on-going & forever ????
I await your reply. I know John will give you an excellent answer. But till then, let me give you a couple. First; to say that God is Under a law, is to make that law God, and not God himself. When God acts in accordance with a law He has given, it's because that law is good. It's good in that He gave it, but it's not that His hands are tied and he really wants to do other than the law but can't.
Secondly; Dt.25:3 and others like it, are dealing with actions against Finite creatures, therfore the penalty is finite. Eternal Punishment is a just punishment because it is against an Eternal Infinate being. The greater the one sinned against, the greater the punishment. How much punishment. Infinate. On Christ or on us. |

I am not sure why a Christian group should consider a public school's recognition, or receive a public school's funding. Probably because they pay the taxes that fund those schools. |

Merriam Webster wrote:
1 a : the seventh day of the week observed from Friday evening to Saturday evening as a day of rest and worship by Jews and some Christians b : Sunday observed among Christians as a day of rest and worship
2 : a time of rest You should try Strong Concordance, which gives the Hebrew Definition of the word; rather than the English Dictionary, which gives the popular usage of the word. The Hebrew word means rest. That Rest was originaly held the first seventh day after creation. Later, it was applied by the Jews, as you describe. Christians today use the first day of the week as a Sabbath, a rest from ususal work, in order to worship the Lord in a corporate manner. If you think this is a new or unusul position, then read the Puritans on the subject. A.W. Pink also had an excellant book on the Sabbath. Edwards paper on the Perpetuity and Change of ther Sabbath is also in this vein. Although some christains dissagree with this view, it is a well established teaching in Protestant history. |

Hi Joe
Does that mean I could sabbath occasionally on a Monday, as I have the opportunity to have a stall at an all-weekend festival in September? I'll pray that you have good success as you present the gospel in that venue. Here, in the States, we have something similar called a Flea Market. But it is getting harder to have Gospel Booths set up. If one person complains, the place will want to shut it down.
As to your original question; you know what I'm saying about being in the Lord's house. And outside; everyday is the day to present the Gospel. |

I was wondering whether we would get to that old cherry Mike.
Question:: Regarding your question, - Does that imply that God was wrong in providing a (one day) Sabbath in the first place in Genesis?
Next Question:: Did Israel also complain about "only one day" for God in OT times?
 
Now don't forget the Lord's Day is Sunday - and if you are a Christian then the Lord makes it a Sabbath for you.  Very well put. And if I might add; Some people think the word "Sabbath" means Saturday, but it actually means Rest. |

Greetings Joe
The article is highlighting Rome's Council of Trent (counter-reformation) semi-pelagianism canons and its' anathema against the Reformed and Biblical teaching of divine monergism in salvation.
Hope this clarifies as you will have seen quite a few counter-reformation posts on sermonaudio by some holding to semi-pelagianism and bitterly anti-reformed 
Truly glad God has given you grace and opened eyes
"Trent at Odds with Augustine and the councils of the early church."[URL=http://www.monergism.com/thethreshold/articles/onsite/counciltrent.html]]]Reading the first paragraph-self explanatory[/URL] Thanks for the clarification. At first glace I thought you were on board with the Pellagian view. |

It seems Reformed Protestants are the ones accursed 
Be certain we understand what the Anti-christ system teaches on free will as false doctrine will certainly be found in a church near you
CANON IV. If any one shall affirm, that man’s freewill, moved and excited by God, does not, by consenting, cooperate with God, the mover and exciter, so as to prepare and dispose itself for the attainment of justification; if moreover, anyone shall say, that the human will cannot refuse complying, if it pleases, but that it is inactive, and merely passive; let such an one be accursed"!
CANON V.- If anyone shall affirm, that since the fall of Adam, man’s freewill is lost and extinguished; or, that it is a thing titular, yea a name, without a thing, and a fiction introduced by Satan into the Church; let such an one be accursed"!
http://www.monergism.com/thethreshold/articles/onsite/counciltrent.html Strange that you would find on Monergism, quotes that represent a document that is Sinner-gistic. |

Any "translation" that had sodomites on the board to rewrite it cannot be Holy Spirit inspired. Those of yall that think so just as well sit in a church with a gay "pastor". Two cant walk together lest they agree and some seem to walk together with sodomites even when it comes to the scriptures.
2Peter 1:20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretion. If you are refering to the NIV, I totally agree with you. That, and the fact that it has 64,000 less words in it. |

Everyone for the past few years know what you believe about this. And I doubt you have convinced anyone. |

I bet those Extreemist in Arizona also lock the doors to their houses. There should be No such thing as Private Property. Everyone ought to be allowed to go into any house, state, or country any time they want. If you try to stop them or arrest them, your being intollerant. Arnold in Calif. has the right idea. He said he'd never do that in Calif. Lets all go over to his house for a party. He won't mind if we really don't live there. He would'nt deport us out of the house. After all "This land is your land. this land is my land".... Excellent Sarcasm. |

Postmodernity has it's benefits compared to the evil and false so-called "Christian Country" of the past. If you really like Post Modernism, you must have changed your opinion already. After all, it's been 40 hours since you posted it. That was in the Past. It's old, therefore bad or at least, no longer relevant. |

"Joe", You Forgot The "my friend" To The Old 1960s Song "EVE OF DESTRUCTION":'
"...Tell Me Over, And Over, And Over, And Over MY FRIEND; That You Don't Believe That We're On The Eve Of Destruction !..." Point taken my friend. It's good to know someone who remembers. The circumstances that the song was about are different now, but the message of that chorus is still true. Thanks! |
