And so you recognized the weakness there, and THEN you decided that you needed to react in such a way as to make it worse? Glenn wrote: > Now concerning what Marlin is teaching.

You might be convinced of this because of some supernatural revelation you had, but none of the rest of us have heard Marlin on this. He has expressed a belief that physical circumcision is not essential to inherit eternal life, why would Sabbath observance be any different? The problem is that your incessant attacks upon him, judging him and maligning him at every chance you get, this has all inhibited dialogue. The one good part about it all is that we are all learning how not to behave on email lists by watching what you do.

I never noticed! My questions get ignored while he responds to you. Glenn wrote: > The purpose of the book of Galatians was to refute > the Judaizer's doctrines.

This is what Marlin is teaching. > Gal. 5:4 says those who teach such things are fallen > from grace. Wrong! Gal. 5:4 does NOT say that those who teach such things are fallen from grace. Gal. 5:4 says that those who are justified by the law are fallen from grace. It does NOT say that those who teach others to keep the law are fallen from grace. BIG DIFFERENCE! The Judaizers mentioned in Galatians were never kicked out of the church. Their teachings were refuted by sound doctrine. Even the Corinthians had some teaching that the resurrection was past already, and they were not excommunicated either. People are not excommunicated for teaching wrong. They are excommunicated for sin. This is something the Inquisition never understood, and this is something that Glenn Tabor does not understand. Kicking people out of church for poor and erroneous teaching is wrong.

Has Marlin fallen from grace? Wherein has Marlin said that he is justified through keeping the law? Where has Marlin said that he is justified with God by observing the Sabbath? These are your FALSE ACCUSATIONS against Marlin. You LIE AGAINST MARLIN. Marlin, please, settle this right now. Answer the following questions: 1. Are you justified by the law before God? 2. Does keeping the Sabbath day holy cause you to be justified before God, or are you justified by Jesus Christ? Which is it? 3. You said that you absolutely believe that the New Testament is God's Holy Scripture. Does this include Gal. 5:4? Do you believe Gal. 5:4 and agree with it? Peace be with you.
