Wow! Pretty soon Christian churches may face persecution for being Christian. What a novelty! It may separate the wheat from the tares. Is that such a bad thing?  |

I realize that blanket statements are very useful for attracting attention, but it is very misleading to say, "Churches Open Doors to Muslim Worship" when the fact is only two so-called churches have done so.  |

It's interesting, as I considered this news article my first reaction was, GOOD! He deserved it!While it is good that no one else was killed by this bomb, one life WAS lost. When we hear of those who place no real value upon life and so they are willing to kill others without any mercy our first cry is usually for justice. I am not discounting justice, but don't we little by little begin the process of devaluing the gift of life within our own hearts. We need to be careful that terrorism doesn't make us insensitive, and I really think to some degree it already has. It should sadden us that many in this world are taught to hate others from their youth. What a sad useless life. But if we embrace that same spirit are we any better than they, and really, is our life of any greater usefulness. There are those who do wrong, and there are those who strive to do right, but folks, there are also those who do nothing, and sadly, I think they are in the majority! This is very convicting to me. Perhaps it should cause us to tremble when we see justice meted out upon the wicked. God, have mercy and open our eyes! "O LORD, I have heard thy speech, [and] was afraid: O LORD, revive thy work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make known; in wrath remember mercy." Hab 3:2 |

PS The "Blah Blah" bit is insulting! I too have been the recipient of this same insult from Lurker, without any apology.  I am not sure whether it is worse when someone else's comments are treated with such scorn, such as your quote of J. Murray, or our own opinions. In either case, it is still a stinging insult. Surely there must be a better way, more becoming of Christians, to express disagreement than using this expression.blah [Ransom House Webster's Dictionary] /blah/, Slang. n. 1. nonsense; rubbish: What they say is blah. 2. the blahs, a feeling of physical uneasiness, general discomfort, or mild depression; malaise: After the long weekend many workers had the Monday-morning blahs. adj. 3. insipid; dull; uninteresting. [1915-20; imit.] Syn. 1. bunkum, humbug, hooey, eyewash, twaddle, bosh. |

9 So also you, unless you utter by the tongue speech that is clear, how will it be known what is spoken? For you will be speaking into the air.---[URL=http://www.lockman.org/nasb/nasbcmp.php]]]NASB[/URL] Either the prior generations, who understood the KJV were very intelligent, or this new generation who can't understand it are very ignorant. Either way, the result is the same. The fault lies not in the Authorized Version, but in those who can't understand it and don't care to try. And you seem to acknowledge your own ignorance for us. I use the word as it was originally intended, i.e. "the state or fact of being ignorant; lack of knowledge, learning, information, etc."I don't expect you to do it, but even you could do a little study to discover the extraordinary advantages of the language of the KJV over that of the modern translations. The KJV was primarily translated with the Word of God in mind; the modern versions were primarily translated with the reader in mind (or so they claim). So, Jim, which do you think is going to be more faithful to the original languages? |

Lurker wrote:
Choosing life is obedience. Lurker, do you believe that the law is necessary to bring conviction to the sinner so he might seek salvation through Christ? I am reasonably sure that you do. If that be the case, it has been suggested by many that twenty percent of the people or less in any given church are actually converted. Would you recommend that the law not be preached because the saints are not subject to it? It seems more needful than ever. Most churches preach an antinomian gospel, as if there is no need for the law. I can't accuse you of that, because I don't know what your thinking is, but I would ask you, "What purpose does the law serve in our generation?" It seems that you go a lot further than those who would deny the sabbath, you deny all ten, but I do know and acknowledge that you do not deny the summary of the ten given by Christ, i.e. "And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this [is] the first commandment. And the second [is] like, [namely] this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these." Mr 12:30-31  Regardless, it's still a commandment; you can't escape that!

I, for one, do not feel humbled or rebuked in the least for believing that God has preserved His own pure Word. EVERYTHING involving the Christian faith is built upon the firm foundation of the Bible. Without it, Christianity is no more than silly superstition or a fable.
I must admit, however, that those who reply to my posts are making less and less sense. My direct comments have, for the most part, been carefully avoided. All I see are opinions from a variety of human sources that are old and worn. I think that real convictions should be based upon the Word of God ALONE. It doesn't matter what this or that source says. The ONLY thing that matters is what God says in the Bible.
Like I said, friends, I don't have a problem. You do. I've got God's pure, preserved Word. By your own admission, you don't. Amen! Well said Frank and worthy of repeating! |

Many professing Christians still honor the Fourth Commandment whether you personally do or not. Saying Christians only have nine of the Ten Commandments is very misleading. You might have been closer to the truth had you said that "you" only honor nine of the commandments or "some" Christians only honor nine of the ten commandments.
