I agree. For me, it's currently: "I will never leave you nor forsake you" Hebrews 13:5

I really appreciate you taking the time to post the list. I can't imagine it's an easy task so thanks. Bummer on the stoning though...I had my pebbles all lined up and everything! ;-) Would you expand on the purification....particularly the uncleanliness/roles of women through the Torah. Some...

I think you should also note that the countries with the "lowest crime rates" are mostly the countries with the least amount of data/statistics available. One of the reasons the U.S./West and Muslim nations have such a skewed crime rate when compared to each other is that extremes are being...

It is a cute picture, Lance. It was a rather funny joke, I think. (But, I suppose I'm biased). Just a joke, Lance, just a joke. No need for doom and gloom.

I'd really love to see that list. Are you making any leeway on it? I'm always interested in hearing what laws the TOG-ers keep. I admit, as of yet, I haven't found the TOG theology without it's holes. It always seems to me that there's a picking and choosing of which laws to keep. How do you...

Here you go Lance. A picture of creation! Tehe.

Hi Marine. Reading your thread really broke my heart. I really felt the burden of the Lord for you. I felt as if I felt His heart just aching hearing about your struggle and so I want you to know that God is with you and for you. The first thing I suggest is that you memorize Hebrews 13:5, "I...

I completely agree that it's about restoration and that is the epitome of what Christ has done. There was complete freedom in the Garden, purity of eating, and now in Christ we have purity of eating. Just a tiny example, but Christ mirrors our pre-sin world not our post-sin Mosaic Law. It's the...

No, I don't. And, honestly, at this point I'm beginning to find it hard to keep replying to this accusation and much of your sarcasm with honey, Ryan. Let's real it in a bit, yeah ;-) If "don't mix fibers" is a witness to the weightier law of "Don't be yoked with unbelievers, Don't mix holy...

Lol, Jason. I was thinking about that after I posted. That is really the true "beginning."

I can't say I agree. I was not born Jewish. I was born into another tribe with a different language, culture, food, and perspective. And, I love my tribe (most of the time haha). I wasn't a Jew that stood on Mt. Sinai and accepted the Mosaic covenant for myself and my future generations. I am a...

I understand and I value your opinion. The Torah to me is a witness to Christ in every jot and tittle. This viewpoint has allowed me to see the Torah through the understanding that it's based on love. It's not easy to hear that the Torah (according to bad interpretations) makes me :aghast: an...

I didn't know the Jews believed that. Now I know where the Muslims got that idea! And, yet, we as Christians believe that the Word was with God and the Word was God and He existed before creation and is not created. So, much, philosophy Jason. So much Philosophy! :crazy

Sorry, you're humor escaped me... :dunno What do you mean? Sure, but Jesus was the Passover Lamb. Easter hasn't replaced Passover, the two tend to coincide. Passover is simply the promise of what God would do, while Easter is the celebration of what God has done. The Lamb of God was crucified...

You know, I've been going through this more and more and I found these similar commandments: To destroy idolatry and its appurtenances (Deut. 12:2-3) (affirmative). To slay the inhabitants of a city that has become idolatrous and burn that city (Deut. 13:16-17) (affirmative). Now, neither...

Sure, they just didn't know it and many still don't and continue to reject the Rock (although Christians slaughtering Jews doesn't help bring about acceptance). I don't agree. Evolution is basically -- "something" "randomly" "adapting" "improvement". What I'm saying is that it was "there" all...

I agree completely. We see the Mosiac Law (strictly natural) move to a spiritual law, Christ. He kept the law perfectly in our places knowing we couldn't. He stood in our places both naturally and spiritually. I don't think we've accepted it. What we have is a breaking of the veil over mankind...

Oh, these threads, it's like Christians are engaged in a 2,000 year long debate...but I'll take a stab at it Ryan ;) Let's start with Acts: Peter and Paul and the "why lay on the Gentiles burdens which we and our forefathers couldn't bear." But, Easter, although badly named is the single most...

Thanks!

Aww Jason that makes me happy to "hear." It's wonderful hearing about the joy the kids have brought to your life.
