Re: [TruthTalk] meaning of biblical/church history

I'm not the #1 fan of Santa either.  I'm just standing up for the freedom in Christ that I have found in Christ.  I cannot; I will not, go back to bondage. [EMAIL PROTECTED] EXO 20:2    I [am] the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of             Egypt, out of the house of bondage. EXO 20:3    Thou shalt have no other gods before me. EXO 20:4    Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness [of             any thing] that [is] in heaven above, or that [is] in the earth             beneath, or that [is] in the water under the earth: EXO 20:5    Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the             LORD thy God [am] a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the             fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth [generation] of             them that hate me; EXO 20:6    And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my             commandments. EXO 20:7    Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the             LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. EXO 20:8    Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. EXO 20:9    Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: EXO 20:10   But the seventh day [is] the sabbath of the LORD thy God: [in it]             thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter,             thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy             stranger that [is] within thy gates: EXO 20:11   For [in] six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all             that in them [is], and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD             blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. EXO 20:12   ¶ Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon             the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. EXO 20:13   Thou shalt not kill. EXO 20:14   Thou shalt not commit adultery. EXO 20:15   Thou shalt not steal. EXO 20:16   Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour. EXO 20:17   Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet             thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor             his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that [is] thy neighbour's. EXO 20:18   ¶ And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and             the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the             people saw [it], they removed, and stood afar off. EXO 20:19   And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but             let not God speak with us, lest we die. HEB 12:25   See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not             who refused him that spake on earth, much more [shall not] we             [escape], if we turn away from him that [speaketh] from heaven: HEB 12:26   Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven. HEB 12:27   And this [word], Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those             things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those             things which cannot be shaken may remain. HEB 12:28   Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly             fear: HEB 12:29   For our God [is] a consuming fire. HEB 13:1    Let brotherly love continue.   JOH 14:15   {If ye love me, keep my commandments.} JOH 14:21   {He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that             loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I             will love him, and will manifest myself to him.} JOH 15:10   {If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I             have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.} 1JO 5:2     By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God,             and keep his commandments. 1JO 5:3     For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his             commandments are not grievous. 2JO 1:6     And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the             commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should             walk in it.
