  1. "Trumpian" has nothing to do with it. A person who enters the country illegally is an illegal alien. A person who enters the country legally is an immigrant. A migrant is just a person who moves around. Basic English. Jesus also instructed Paul and Peter to give instructions to obey the law of the land. That would mean you do not enter someone else's territory illegally. It has nothing to do with loving one's neighbor. Progressives always try and hinge it on love when what people who believe in controlled borders want is for outsiders to not be able to arbitrarily break our laws and then get rewarded for it. What you support tells people to actively break the law. And if you also claim to be a Christian, then you support a political position that directly violates scripture.
  2. Basic English does not seem to be your long suite. Your sentences above make no sense in their present form. The guilty party is the one who instigates the divorce, in your flawed scenario. That is biblical fact. It is also biblical fact that according to the OT law, divorce had no terms for fault. So you are also saying Jesus changed the law, which we know He did not. You also evidently don't know that the New Testament was not originally written in English. It was written in Greek. In Matthew 1:19-21, Matthew 5:31-32, Mathew 19:7-9, Mark 10:11-12, and Luke 16:16-18 most of the words translated in later translations as "divorce" are not the Greek word for divorce. They are the Greek word for "putting away" which means a man getting rid of his wife without giving her a certificate of divorce. That is what Jesus was condemning and calling adultery, not divorce itself. A person marrying an un-divorced woman was committing adultery. Pretty simple concept.
  3. I certainly do not need a prophecy page from this board when I have the Bible. I've been studying prophecy for 50 years. Seems you have a problem answering simple questions. And spell check is your friend.
  4. "why we should ignore it." Your words. If you know you are doing this, keeping this commandment, why is it so difficult for you to explain how you are keeping it? Surely it should be the easiest thing for you to explain, and since you think everyone else should be doing it, you would be anxious to explain it to anyone who asked. Right? You can avoid the question by saying you've never told anyone else they need to keep the Sabbath, but your posts say something else. Like this earlier one: Come on. Take a chance. Tell everyone here on this board how you keep the Sabbath. It can't be that hard.
  5. Words, words, and more words. It ALWAYS boils down to those who say we must keep the Sabbath, but can never explain how we are supposed to keep it. Go out on a limb. Be the first, on this board or any other Christian forum out there, and actually tell people exactly how you keep the Sabbath. Without doing so, your constant assertions that you do keep it are nothing but empty words. You are a self-proclaimed Sabbath-keeper. Let's match your explanation of how you keep the Sabbath with what the Bible says are requirements to keep it and see if they match up. Is that too difficult?
  6. In other words, you cannot explain to anyone how you keep the Sabbath, even though you have been one of those on this board who continually tells others they have to keep it. But you won't explain to them how to do so. I find nowhere in this thread where I have "dissed" the Sabbath. Perhaps you could point me to a specific post where I have done so. I am openly questioning a flawed rational that people such as you use in regards to this commandment. Telling people they must do something, but, at the same time, steadfastly refusing to tell them exactly how they should do it. In regards to spiritual matters, when you take it upon yourself to tell someone they have to do something you claim God commands them to do, at the same time, you have to be able to explain to them how they must keep that command, in any detail they ask you to explain. You cannot just divorce yourself from your responsibility to explain something to people after you have told them they have to do something. Why is this question so difficult for you to answer? If you are so confident that you are keeping this commandment, then it should be patently easy for you to explain to other people exactly how you keep it. Why the constant avoidance of an actual explanation?
  7. When you place your salvation on a work, i.e. the Sabbath, you cannot claim Christ's sacrifice on the cross. Using a rather unique spelling of Jesus' name gets you no points either. If Jesus' sacrifice on the cross delivered us from our sins completely, why would we need to observe a certain day of the old covenant when you are telling me all of that covenant is done with, except for a day? I will ask again, because you still have not answered the question: How are you keeping the Sabbath? Explain it to me. In terms an unbelieving secularist could understand, as if I just walked up to you off the street with no spiritual or biblical knowledge at all . . . In the post above you plainly say you are keeping the Sabbath, so explain to all of us here exactly how you are doing that, in 2020. Surely, since you are telling all of us that we need to do it, you can explain to us, in great detail, exactly how you, yourself, are keeping the Sabbath. I will also add that you have absolutely no idea of my position on the Sabbath yet, but you call me disobedient, because I question you on your methodology. You have made a clear claim. I am waiting for you to explain to us exactly how you keep that claim, biblically. So far, you have not answered the question.
  8. Not a satisfactory answer. I asked you a specific question, and you gave me the same tired reply every so-called Sabbath keeper gives me. I ask again: How are you keeping the Sabbath? Because unless you are offering a sacrifice at the Temple every Sabbath as well as all the other daily and Festival Sabbaths, you are not keeping the Sabbath. Explain to me how you are keeping the Sabbath without a Temple, the Levitcal Priesthood and the daily sacrifices.
  9. Have you not, in the past, been a protagonist of "keeping" the Sabbath?
  10. That is not a satisfactory reply. The Old Testament has very specific mandates as to how the Sabbath is to be kept. Which of those are you keeping? Such as, perhaps, the ritual Sabbath sacrifices at the Temple?
  11. That is not keeping the Sabbath. If someone claims to be keeping the Sabbath there are very specific mandates that have to be kept, well-stated in the Old Testament. Since you are so familiar with them, perhaps you could tell us what those rules are?
  12. Point those people out. Name names. It is easy to toss a supposition out there. It is a great deal more difficult to prove it. Try again.
  13. That was a fail. I asked for textual proof that what you are trying to sell passes biblical scrutiny. Your response failed. Show me biblical proof that divorce and re-marriage is an unforgivable sin.
  14. No, right now, in this country, most colleges and universities are intent on indoctrinating students in the Liberal way of thought and activism. Plain and simple.
  15. If you are claiming to keep the Sabbath, can you please explain to us exactly how you are keeping it? Thank you.
