I appreciate your alls comments on the Sabbath. I am considering with the coming one world religion, a antiChrist counterfeit of genuine Biblical Christianity which all the false religions of the world can embrace and feel welcome in and that embraces, and makes herself friends with all the false relgions of the world _ A Godly God-fearing Biblical Sabbath would certainly be wonderfully different from the RCC and all in unity with her in rebellion against God.

By the way it might possibly cause some KJV Bible people to consider their ways if they actually take their Bible seriously or reinterpret it to suit their own traditions, the same sort of thing the false religions they would condemn accurately as in the wrong do with their Bibles, reinterpret it to suit whatever it is they want to do and don't want to do.

KJV people I love you, but I will love you "better" the more you grow in the obedience of faith, not so much in your alls own reigious traditions

Saint Michael, it is a huge question.

As you have said, 'Much learning and groaning to do.' BTW Let's do that and grow in the obedience of faith, that God would use us in the winning of souls

Having been saved in 1980 I have painfully learned there is gross ignornance of God, not to mention ignorance of the Bible, its authority, truth, realiability, that it if you are willing is God's LAW that He will make good on ... that is why I began with the question I did

I'm unsure of pastor Kevin Deyoung's background but he does alright in this article, well worth the read.

Also I was 'troubled' how he refered to Augustine, Aquina, Calvin and Luther lumped together with no kind of disclaminer or warning as Scripture tells us in Psalm 1 'Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly...', seeing the first 2 are clearly Roman Catholic (the RCC is infamous for being ungodly (not taking Scripture seriously, redefining it to fit their religion) and antiChrist (assuming you have heard of Mariolatry and how it is serious sin against Jesus Christ))

The Roman hierarchy threatening to cast Satan out of nations, etc, is like me looking into a mirror and telling myself that I don't want me living here anymore, pointing my finger, and yelling at myself to get out. A house divided cannot stand. Satan cannot cast out Satan, although, he can give the appearance of it in order to trick people into believing a particular cult, false religion, ministry, or person, etc, is of God. They recently exorcised Mexico...how's that working out for them? Jesus I know and Paul I know, but who are you?

I am purposing a real genuine flag burning Sunday. No not the rainbow flag, and no not the CBF either. I purpose we burn the white flag of surrender (meaning surrender to the world, to sin and to Satan, to false teachers, false Christianity and to false religions, to political correctness, non-Biblical theologies, ungodliness, Bibical ignorance, antinominism, throwing away books, videos, music, that is nothing but ungodly trash, things like that etc.

It is ironic that secular comedians saw the insanity years before the SCOTUS "ruling"
(btw will rainbow flags be welcome at NASCAR?)

I trust it will be a blessing

I do not believe in batismal regeneration. Neither do I believe that all infant are saved because they are infants, which would be a works righteousness.

You believe not having had opportunity to commit actual sin they are not therefore guilty before God in Adam?

If an infant was to die in infancy his salvation would be dependent on a secret work of the Holy Spirit related to his election.

Whether he had the external sign of the covenant of grace; yea or nay, before death is not the issue. He is no more or less saved either way. It would only depend on GOD'S election of grace and the Spirit's regeneration.

For one I believe in believer's baptism not infant sprinkling

For another is:
Deuteronomy 24:16
"Fathers shall not be put to death for their sons, nor shall sons be put to death for their fathers; everyone shall be put to death for his own sin.
in your Bible or not?

Let me ask you a simple question
Where will Jesus return physically to this earth?

Sorry, I just cannot agree with your premise, have you somehow been influence by replacement theology and anti-Jewish RC influences? Do you not know Jehovah's hand on the Jewish people, even in their unbelief, is a major witness of who God really is?

Let me recommend:

Spurgeon,Whitfield et al,

I think you have to know it is so easy to criticize those who are in grieveous error and be so poisoned against them it become impossible to see any good whatsoever in their efforts. I would pray God leads FG out of the errors of the BGEA BUT ALSO that He lead him not into self-righteous judmental PhariseeISM either.

Brief testimony:
I recently witnessed and gave the Gospel to a RC man, who because he has listened to so many different religious opinions and had knowledge of them told me something I value (and it won't make me ever return to the RCC) it was this:

G - God's
R - RIGHTEOUSNESS
A - At
C - Christ's
E - Expense

Saying (repeating) that did not make this man a genuinely born again Christian but his being a RC did not make the comment he made wrong, bad or evil. Personally I thank God for letting me hear it through him. It will be something I will treasure.

If they and the lesser magistrates in the states where SSM was voted down simply did not comply then something would be accomplished.

Didn't Jesus tell us about hirelings abandoning the sheep to the wolf?

And all that said, we need to pray for the Jewish people (who else will?) that they repent of their rejection of Their Messiah, their sins against God and receive Yeshua the Messiah by faith to be saved by Him and for Him and in Him alone have eternal life to the praise and glory of the Grace of God.

The kjv only debate is actually worth studying. I would recommend the sam gipp series - what's the big deal about the kjv.
I actually had one of these vignettes acted out in reality and you may have experienced the same thing - in church we were asked to read out a psalm aloud. Well everyone had a different bible version and what ensued was a melee of sound -
KJV
1 Corinthians 14
33For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.
I can actually tell very quickly whether someone is preaching from a non authorised text and the power is not in these bibles.

Mike, part of this thought process probably needs to be a mixture of repentant believer and fueled by a holy anger against sin. And since there is time, we need to pray for our leaders, both for wisdom and for the holiness of God too crash apon their shoulders. As citizens of this nation we are still entitled to certain rights too present Christ and provide a christian community that reflects the love of the brotherhood , in spite of hatred of the world. But to get there, we need to grieve for our sin of taking God's kindness so thoughtlessly .

Thank you CES , I'll take a listen. Micheal from New York

I am working through a lot of thoughts on the matter. Here are some of them.

One, judgment on the U.S. is a certainty and along with that it seems safe to say persection will be more than real too.

So, we need to rediscover if you will real (not perfunctory) mountain moving , rain stopping, miracle working praying (Elijah) and real soul winning too even if that means martyrdom (thinking Whitefield and/or the underground church with believers like Brother Andrew).

Who is adequate for these things? Only those whose sufficiency is God Himself. So much to learn and grow in.
