User: JESUS DIED FOR YOU

=======THAT IS RIGHT. THE SABBATH WAS SATURDAY THE DAY THE JEWS WERE TOLD TO OBSERVE BUT THE OLD TESTAMENT ENDED WHEN JESUS DIED ON THE CROSS. THE NEW TESTAMENT STARTED AFTER THEN. CHRISTIANS GO TO CHURCH ON SUNDAY BECAUSE THAT IS THE DAY JESUS ROSE FROM THE GRAVE. WE WERE UNDER THE LAW BUT NOW WE ARE UNDER GRACE

IN JESUS NAME, RANDY=== In Reply To ==========

The sabbath day wasn't meant to be a burden, but a day of rest, that is what Jesus was talking about, the sabbath was made for man, not man made for the sabbath.

Mark 2:27 "And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath" Luke 6:5 "And he said unto them, That the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath." Christians chose Sunday, because The Lord was resurrected on that day. I was going to a Church that had Church on Saturdays for a while, I think it would be great to have it everyday. It doesn't matter, don't worry about it.

Philippians 4:6 "Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God." Careful means "full of care or full of worries"

All that matters is Edification, accountability, fellowship, and the Gospel of Christ.

That and I don't think Old teaching should be mixed in with the new Covenant of His blood. 2 Corinthians 3:6 Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.

Who are you to judge another mans servant? Romans 14:4 "Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand." Romans 14:5 "One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind." Romans 14:6 "He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it.

The scriptures say, work six days, and rest on the seventh day. Work six days, it doesn't say work Sunday-Friday, and rest on Saturday. Can't it also mean work six days, example Wednesday-Monday and rest on Tuesday. It's not meant to be a burden, why worry about it. Exodus 20:9 "Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:" (In context: Exodus 20:8-10)

Exodus 23:12 "Six days thou shalt do thy work, and on the seventh day thou shalt rest: that thine ox and thine $%!@ may rest, and the son of thy handmaid, and the stranger, may be refreshed." (In context: Exodus 23:11-13)

Exodus 34:21 "Six days thou shalt work, but on the seventh day thou shalt rest: in earing time and in harvest thou shalt rest." (In context: Exodus 34:20-22)

Deuteronomy 5:13 "Six days thou shalt labour, and do all thy work: " (In context: Deuteronomy 5:12-14)

Deuteronomy 16:8 "Six days thou shalt eat unleavened bread: and on the seventh day shall be a solemn assembly to the LORD thy God: thou shalt do no work therein."

I know far more people who are gay who did not choose to be gay, but rather choose to accept themselves as people.

Posted on 2003-06-14 11:24:49 by JESUS DIED FOR YOU ========== In Reply To ========== On the question of how do I feel about gays there was an option that should have been available.

I DO NOT HATE GAYS but I DO HATE THEIR LIFESTYLE.

I know SEVERAL people who used to practice homosexuality and now they don't. They will tell you, IT IS a choice.

YOU ARE RIGHT ON!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO SAY THAT GOD LOVES THEM AND JESUS DIED FOR THEM.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. JOHN 3:16-18

BUT GOD HATES SIN AND IT IS A SIN AND A CHOICE.

And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: 28So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. HEBREWS 9.27-28

AND IT SAYS: 21Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, 23And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. 24Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: 25Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. 26For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 27And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. 28And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; 29Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 30Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: 32Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them. ROMANS 1:21-32 The King James Version, (Cambridge: Cambridge) 1769.

THE ENTIRE BIBLE IS TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!!! SOME OF IT IS FIGURATIVE, SOME IS LITERAL BUT IT IS ALL GOD'S WORD AND 100% TRUE.

All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. 2 TIMOTHY 3:16-17 The King James Version, (Cambridge: Cambridge) 1769.

We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: 20Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 21For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. 2 PETER 1:19-21 The King James Version, (Cambridge: Cambridge) 1769.

I BELIEVE THAT THE RESULTS OF SIN IS THE MAIN REASON PEOPLE LIVE LESS TIME NOW THAN THEN. SINCE CREATION 7 DAYS A WEEK AND 365 & 1/4 DAYS A YEAR STILL STAND.

========== In Reply To ========== I do not pretend to be Mother Teresa by any means--but I was born and raised Catholic and I like my faith very much-- It would never occur to me to join a cult. Being Catholic is a challenge and a great comfort as one goes thru life. One thing I would like to add-- no cults believe in the Trinity-- so I would think any Christian would wish to stay away from a cult-- as it denies a central core belief of the Christian Faith. thanks

IF YOU COMPARED WHAT THE BIBLE HAS TO SAY TO WHAT YOUR PRIEST HAS TO SAY YOU WOULD BE SURPRISED TO KNOW THAT WHAT THE CATHOLIC CHURCH TEACHES IS FAR, FAR FROM WHAT THE BIBLE HAS TO SAY.

24Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife: 25And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS. MATTHEW 1:24-25 The King James Version, (Cambridge: Cambridge) 1769. on, (Cambridge: Cambridge) 1769.

knew her not till = THEY DID NOT HAVE SEX UNTIL AFTER JESUS WAS BORN. JESUS HAD HALF BROTHERS AND SISTERS BY JOSEPH AND MARY.

YOU ARE RIGHT IN THAT YOU SAY CULTS DO NOT ACCEPT THE TRINITY BUT A LOT OF SO CALLED CHRISTIAN RELIGIONS DO NOT ACCEPT IT EITHER OR THE RAPTURE OR ETERNAL HELL.
