Hi Ginny, It is also a command specific to the land of Israel and not applied to the galut (the exiled from the land). Then the year of Jubilee doesn’t apply to those exiled from the land and they can hold a fellow Israelite in bondage for life? It dose not make sense to me that the Sabbath year of rest for the land only applies to the land of Israel. The nation of Israel is a sojourner with God and those who want to sojourn with Israel should keep the same laws. I would think. |

I was wondering if we are free to worship God any way that we want as has been proposed above by Vicki, does God need to apologize to Cain for not accepting his sacrifice? May the drunkard and glutton say “I am eating and drinking unto the Lord. I have no fault in me.”? They are after all only accountable unto God, and if they are doing it unto the Lord, who am I to warn them differently.
Matt. 13:44 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.
45 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:
46 Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
Why would anyone want to hold on to the old possession of X’mas when it should be sold in order to bye the true possession of God’s Holy days.

tonga,
You are Jewish right? I think that the apparition are very similar to what happened to Saul:
I Sam 16:23 And it came to pass, when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul, that David took an harp, and played with his hand: so Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him.
God gave leave to the evil spirit to come upon Saul because of his disposition of not serving God. I think God gives leave to evils spirits to appear to catholics because of their disposition of wanting to venerate Mary instead of God. The same could be said about UFO’s, aliens, bigfoot etc. If you ever run across a book titled “UFO’s Mission Impossible” it makes for good reading. It claims that the clinical pathology of subjects that claim to have been abducted by aliens is the same as those claiming demon possession.
Eastern orthodox are also big into apparitions. Lutheran and Episcopalian not so much but some.

Tonga,
Psa 8:2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.
Matt 21:16 And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?
To dismiss one of their signs because it comes from the mouth of babes, is to easily refuted by them with the miss application of the scripture.
The apparition of Mary at Fatima is just one of many as I have been trying to tell you. Some apparitions are collaborated to by adults and crowds. Are you willing to investigate the ones at Beauraing, Banneux, Syracuse, Guadalupe, Paris, Rome, La Salette, Lourdes, Pontmain, Pellevisin, Gretrzuald, Knock, add infinitum and render your option as to why each should be dismissed? Our time is to valuable to do that. Instead a broad approached must be taken. 2 Cor 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. We must be able to show that these sign’s that the catholics are so found of seeking are in fact from Satan and not God. And we need to be able to tell them that to seek such signs is wickedness.

tonga, David
It is no harder to believe three children seen something that noone else saw than it is to believe that Balaam’s ass seen the angle when Balaam himself did not. The appration of Mary at Fatima is just one of many many through the years. Catholics see her in things like chocolate spills, burnt toast, defective window pains add infinitum. It is entrained in them to look for her appearing. What seems silly to us, is a big deal to them.

Liz,
With out seeing fruits i think it would be unwise to pronounace someone saved.
ITim 5:22 Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men's sins: keep thyself pure.

The sinner's prayer can be the begin or rebirth, if you will. The problem is that is all most people ever do. They are content with the milk of salvation and never graduate to the meat of living like Christ.

Suggestive memory is very powerful. In police line ups if the victim is told that the perpetrator is in the line, about 70% will pick out a subject even though the real perpetrator isn’t in the lineup. With the apparitions of Mary you have a whole religious group that wants to see an apparition of Mary. If someone tells them here is one, they will see it. It’s not unlike what happened on the day our Lord was crucified. The multitude was expecting to have a prisoner released to them. The Jewish leaders suggested that Barabbas was the one that should be released. The people forgot what they has seen Jesus (Yeshua) do with their own eyes and replaced it with what their leaders were telling them. And made the wrong choice.

Amen.
Faith, like a mustard seed, grows in obediance.

I bring this text up specifically because it is our sloppy use of the English language that allows us to misinterpret the Scripture in both 2nd Corinthians 3 and in Colossians 2. Mark, Ordinances- A custom or practice established by long usage- allows for the interpretation of the scripture as you have described. The English is not sloppy. Just the reading of it. Ordinances- An authoritative command or order- when I look through the “old” testament there are many ordinances or judgements that were against me until Christ paid the price for me breaking his statues. The judgements or infractions of his statues is what is taken out of the way, not the statues. |

antinomianism means there is no law, but if there is no law there is no sin according to Paul. And therefore there would be no need for a saviour. Okay. In that case Antinomianism and Anarchy are interchangable. There must be another term for "faith alone is all that is required for salvation." |

There are two sides, legalism and antinomianism, neither are right. We are saved by grace, which produces good works, which prove our faith is genuine. Doesn’t antinomianism mean that faith alone is necessary to salvation. If so, then it is not the other side of the coin from legalism. Anarchy is. Antinomianism is only a statement of what must occur for salvation as seen in the following scripture: Act 16:30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. Antinomianism is not a statement of how you live your life once you are saved. The broader context of what we should do is seen in this scripture: Act 2:37 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. 39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. 40 And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation. It is anarchy that we need to remove from christianity not antinomianism. |

This is my third land sabbath. I started counting the year from when I entered (bought) my land. Does anyone know what year Isreal keeps as a land sabbath?

Women were not allowed to enter the synagogues, How is it that women are not allowed in synagogues? That seems to be a tradition that makes the law of God of no efect. |
