Re: Job's children

I haven't yet listened to the dialog that Darin mentioned but here are my thoughts: The context in chapter 1 and 2, especially considering the contest between God and Satan, makes this scenario very dubious, to my mind. God gave Satan permission to touch "all" that Job had, excepting his person, and...

Re: Did Jesus Observe the Sabbath?

jriccitelli, The Law of Moses prescribed that a 'Priest' offer Sacrifices, now Jesus was of a different lineage but He did not break the Law, rather it was 'necessary' for a 'better' Priest to come along in order to fulfill the law. That's an interesting idea but it has no basis in scripture. Before...

Re: Bad Example of Church Discipline

It was interesting to me that after reading Glenn Peoples' (Say Hello to My Little Friend) latest blogs, where he discusses Mark Driscoll (whom I had not heard of previously), that the next day I should come across this thread by Rich. Within Glenn's blog he included two Youtube videos: http://youtu...

Re: Did Jesus Observe the Sabbath?

jriccitelli, "The Sabbath rules became irrelevant (excepting as they are to be observed spiritually "in Christ") after their fulfillment.(This is abit of a contradiction, I dont break the Sabbath by entering into it) I believe John's statement that Jesus broke the Sabbath was only related to the out...

Re: Did Jesus Observe the Sabbath?

jriccitelli, Jesus was able to break the Sabbath because He was the fulfillment of the Sabbath. Because He demonstrated that He was Lord of the Sabbath during His ministry leads me to understand that this fulfillment commenced before the official end of the Old Covenant. This is why His Sabbath brea...

Re: Did Jesus Observe the Sabbath?

jriccitelli,

Just a quick explanation of my view, though you obviously think it contradictory:

1. Jesus kept the Law.

2. Jesus broke the Sabbath.

Scripture states both. However we understand it, we must take these two truths into account.

Re: Birth control

Paidion,

I wish there was a "like" button for expressing agreement with a post without having, necessarily, to submit a comment. That was good!

Re: Birth control

I believe that Solomon was inspired when he wrote those words, but I also believe that Solomon lived in a culture, or context, that may have contributed to the statement that he made. In other words, in Solomon's day (and for centuries before and centuries afterward), it seems to me that there were ...

Re: Did Jesus Observe the Sabbath?

Hello jriccitelli, I appreciate you posting a bit of your testimony earlier. Sometimes we lose track of the personal side of things during these debates. I wanted to assure you, as I would suppose you to be doing as well, that I am only addressing your arguments and in no way would I want to be seen...

Thank you for addressing some of the questions I had for you. Good morning Look, I was happy that you were referring to Hebrews earlier, and I thought you we...
