Earlier in this thread you said that celebrating Christmas was wrong but that it wasn't necessarily that bad UNLESS you didn't feel any guilt about celebrating it. How can something that is "more wrong" depending on your individual feelings of guilt be worse than murdering a innocent child which is wrong no matter how guilty you feel?
That's false. Your memory is failing you.
Is this how you make an argument? Make statements that misrepresent your opponent and demonize those statements?
It would be an assertion if I hadn't made the biblical case for the claim several times over. If you want to take on those arguments and refute them with biblical counterarguments, I would be happy to consider them. For every post you make that is merely bald assertion, I and my friends become even more convinced that you have no argument, that you're simply denying the scriptures that indict you and that you'd rather nullify the Word of God by your anti-biblical traditions.
Isn't Abortion a sin against God? God loves and cares for that little baby; that baby is His child. Isn't brutally murdering the most defensless of all humans, a sin against God. Is that not spitting in God's face and marring his creation? Is that not disrespecting God's wonderful and unique blessings: openly denying God?
It's not as direct an affront to God as open denial of His Son by sinning against the very things His Son died to secure for the Body of Christ.
You sound like a liberal. Appeal to the emotions. Forget what the Bible teaches. Forget what Christ has done and what He died to ensure. Forget using your brain; just operate on emotion.
Prove it. Don't just assert. How many protests do you think the apostles attended? Was Paul ever arrested for blocking the entrance to a Roman auditorium protesting the torture and murder of Christians?
Sorry DH. Mine ideology is biblical. You're operating on emotion. You're being irrational. I challenge you and all your cronies to prove otherwise. Read the last 22 pages of asinine, illogical, unbiblical, incoherent and impotent attempts to refute my position. It's insane that these people still have the temerity to continue their groundless assertions despite their failed attempts to defeat it.
Did not his son die to save each and every one of his children? He died for that little baby so that when he got older he could be saved and live with God forever in heaven. Abortion IS an affront to God much more than setting aside an extra-special day for the celebration of Christ's birth.
I will. An abortion is a worse sin. Breaking the Sabbath was for Israel under their dispensation. I believe you are a Acts Dispensationalist right?
They are "smacking" you in the face. :doh:
Emotion is a very important thing that God has given us. Don't discard emotion carelessly. It is only scoffed at by those who have lost all sensitivity. Use logic and emotion together. I am doing so.
No you are the one who is being irrational. You have been ripping scripture out of context and dispensation since Page 1. It's surprising to me that people still have the will to continue to debate a circular-reasoning lunatic like you. :kookoo: When you begin to cede your arguments that have been literally torn out of context, then I will continue this discussion. Until then, I reccomend that you pray and ask the Lord to give you wisdom.
First of all I disagree that Romans 14 is directed towards weaker members of the Body of Christ. As a Act's 9er I would think you would agree, but that is another topic.
Yes, but not everyone on the planet is his child.
Not all babies, DH. Only the elect babies.

... Abortion IS an affront to God much more than setting aside an extra-special day for the celebration of Christ's birth.
You refuse to follow the logic, don't you? Dispensational sins are far worse. That's what scripture says. Your emotion-governed sentiments are unbiblical, DH. Face it. You don't have a leg to stand on.
With what? Clear exegesis of scripture? No. Sound reasoning? No. Emotion-driven unbiblical tripe? Yes.
Prove it, DH. Don't just assert.
Prove it, DH. Don't assert. You and I could stand here and lob accusations back and forth all day and not get anywhere. At least do your readers the courtesy of proving your claims.
Good grief, man. You must be desperate. Any other unsupported charges you want to accuse of me? Maybe I also drink the blood of the babies born on Christmas?
Thanks for your help, DH. :kookoo:
To whom is it directed? What is Ro 14 talking about?
Eating food sacrificed to idols was unlawful for saved Jews, novice. If ChristMass is unlawful for me, shouldn't you, based on your interpretation of 1Co 8, stop throwing it in my face?
Was Paul trying to entangle Peter with a yoke of bondage by telling him to stop observing Jewish food laws? Please answer this question, novice.
Christine, it has never been demonstrated that celebrating holidays is sinful!
That pretty much sums up the entire argument!Originally posted by Nineveh
Christine,
I don't see non/celebration today as a "requirment". I am not mandated to observe (or not) special days, but Paul says, "One man considers one day more sacred than another; another man considers every day alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind. He who regards one day as special, does so to the Lord. He who eats meat, eats to the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and he who abstains, does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God. "
I'm curious, I read over the list of prohibited days and didn't see birthdays listed. Do you celebrate birthdays and anniversaries?
Yet that is the very thing Jim is doing!
Shall I start pasting?
You've already done that by refusing to consider the biblical arguments against you.
See what I mean? That argument has been refuted several times over, and no one has been able to counter the refutation.
Once again, you demonstrate how egregiously inept you are by uncritically dismissing the exegesis provided that shows you what judging in this verse refers to.
So did Paul novice. Paul publicly rebuked Peter for celebrating religious ceremonies, just as you are being rebuked here. If you think there's a difference, please prove it.
