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

Dearest Glenn,   I agree with Marlin’s answers which you have already read on his last couple of posts to answer Acts 20:7.  How do you refute that? How also do you refute the Catholic’s own claim that THEY were they ones who changed our worship day from Sat to Sun????   I agree that we are not justified by following the law. I just want to obey because I want to!  I want to go a step higher than “just getting by on as little obedience as possible because I can still be saved whatever I do”.  This is freedom: obeying out of love.   Izzy   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 13, 2002 2:27 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] Only 9 of the 10 commandments?   Now wait a minute.  You, dear sweet Lzzy, have not refuted Acts 20:7.  You have pretty much ignored it.  If you want be like the Mormons and say Acts 20:7 is an error/mistake in the Bible, that is your business.   But don't say it doesn't matter to me.  :-)  Am I being nice enough in the face of such erroneous doctrine? :-)  It is sad that Christians put themselves back into bondage.  It was the American patriot Patrick Henry who said, "Give me liberty or give me death".  He knew what it was like to live under the thumb of a tyrant.  Along the way, he had the good fortune to get a small taste of liberty.  IN THE SAME SENSE, THE LAW SERVES AS A TYRANT.  It shows no mercy and hates anything related to freedom.  Anyone who weds himself to the law will be entangled in the chains of bondage.  WHAT IS THE ALTERNATIVE for the Christian believer?  LIBERTY IN CHRIST.  Why? 1.  Because Christ has freed the believer  v1 2.  Because the law is not God's way for a man to be justified.  v 2-4       IF A PERSON SEEKS TO BE JUSTIFIED BY LAW, CHRIST CAN HAVE NO EFFECT UPON HIM -- HE IS FALLEN FROM GRACE. 3.  Because the hope of righteousness is by faith.  v 5-6 The Outline & Study Bible Patrick Henry's words are the words of a Christian also. Laura, You are welcome to that opinion, but the Bible says the 7th day; Sabbath; Saturday. Period. If changing God’s commandment to whatever day you prefer doesn’t bother you, that’s up to you, and your business. But don’t say it doesn’t matter to me.  Izzy
