Re: [TruthTalk] Only 9 of the 10 commandments?

[Marlin Halverson]

Dear Glen,   Unlike others, who try to rest every day, I am busy working the six days, according the fourth commandment.  I do believe that God is working with your heart in the matter of obedience, otherwise you would not have become so irate with the answers I have provided.  :-)   It is those "scholars" whom I fault for creating such confusion with the clear word of God.   I was able to scan through many of the commentaries you have attached below and I am left with the same feelings that Christ had when the "scholars" of His day came to tempt him:   "And Jesus answering said unto them, {Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?}" (MAR 12:24)   When it comes to these "scholars," I am left with this dilemma:   PRO 26:4    Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him. PRO 26:5    Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.   I believe this proverb applies to them, as well as the words of Jesus.   PRO 10:8    The wise in heart will receive commandments: but a prating fool shall fall.   MAT 5:17    {Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am             not come to destroy, but to fulfill.} MAT 5:18    {For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or             one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be             fulfilled.} MAT 5:19    {Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments,             and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom             of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach [them], the same shall             be called great in the kingdom of heaven.} MAT 15:9    {But in vain they do worship me, teaching [for] doctrines the             commandments of men.} MAR 7:7     {Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching [for] doctrines the             commandments of men.}   Love,   Marlin ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 13, 2002 3:39 PM Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] Only 9 of the 10 commandments? Read these commentaires if you like.  I put "if you like" trying to be nice.  :-)  That's for engaging in intellignent conservation.  To me this is a no brainer.  If I must observe the Sabbath I must kill my children for cursing.  I either observe all of the law or none of the law.   I can't pick an choose which parts of the law I want to obey.  Not to mention death is also the law's penality for homosexuality.

The annual Sabbath, Pentecost, is so important to God that He reserved it for pouring out His Holy Spirit in Acts 2.  This was the first week in the count down.
