Nick, here's where I'll post my specific questions that anybody can answer if they will. Is it ok to say that Abraham may have lied or was it an information lack because of fear of man about Sarah being his wife? Is a Christian obligated to keep the seventh day sabbath? Did Jesus Christ and the disciples truly break the sabbath or did they just break the Pharisee/Jew regulations of it? Was Jesus's avoiding to get killed a good tactic to use, or should he have faced his enemies? Why did Jesus do what he did on the sabbath? Is what they did technically harvesting and Jesus defended the disciples? Is a Christian to be careful for nothing or not careful for nothing? In the post-resurrection appearances would Jesus have to defy the law of gravity to be seen by the disciples while they were cooped up from the Jews? Does Paul contradict the beloved disciple John? Does Isaiah 60:20 contradict Amos 8:9? Or is Isaiah 60:20 an example of God rescinding back on what he had stated in Amos 8:9? Was Jesus supposed to be amenable to the law and not indifferent to it? Did Jesus treat the sabbath command as being indifferent to it? On the Abraham situation I'm looking for an answer opposite of what most people say about it, most people say it was either a lie or fib which is basically same thing. I'm also looking for a different answer than deceptiion which is same as lying. I believe Abimelech committed a trespass(sin of maybe ignorance and or violence). The lack of information giving would be the reference to that Sarah was also his wife. Not only his sister through another marriage of parents. If JPHolding is out there, I'm sorry that I may have been a bit obnoxious before in private e-mail with you about this under the name of crucifixionpower7@yahoo.com about the Abraham subject. I gracefully thought that it was necessary to apologize openly to you. I was in the process of debating on the SDAIssues forum with several SDA's and only one non-denominational person on there, and a Roman Catholic that debated on that forum. The criteria that I should've told you is the criteria that I've set here. Also folks in line with the sabbath question, how is Jesus sinless, when the New Testament portrays him as being somewhat indifferent to the sabbath command? I'm open to suggestions. Nick, I have a book suggestion for you to read it's got DWIGHT NICHOLS GOD'S PLANS FOR YOUR FINANCES which you may buy at Wal-Mart or online if it's online. It would help you in your posts to Nanimose. You folks let me know if I need to rephrase the questions. Also JPHolding, will you forgive me for how I treated you? I hope and pray we all can be the best of friends and not enemies like I've seen when glancing at other forums, it's surprising that I see what I deem to be skeptics quoting more bible verses than the Christians do. It seems to be weird in a way though. Probably the scriptures are taken out of context though. Either that or they were quoting the skeptics annotated bible. Maybe the ones that claim to have been skeptics can answer that one. Nick, in the post script I'm going to put an apology to JP and intersperse some of the things I asked about within the post I made above. So basically it's an apology with reiteration of earlier questions that's within the post. Whether JPHolding forgives me or not is his prerogative to do so if he wishes to. I felt that the things I posted to the Admins that I had to ask JPHolding to forgive me for the way I had treated him when I had that other account. I've already asked Christ to forgive me for being what I deemed to have been non-informative and maybe obnoxious towards JPHolding that day. I was upset because I was fighting a losing battle with the Sabbatarians especially since they quoted Psalm 119.
P.S. JP, I wasn't that swell at playing baseball when I was younger so that's probably why I didn't like your baseball analogy. I played RF and never got a hit. Though I still believe maybe that baseball is the most difficult sport to play. Since I didn't know I was partially blind until later on, it may have been a factor of why I didn't do so well at baseball. I have an eye disease called keratoconus. I may have gotten it a birth or maybe through some other way. It's a disease that's got an unknown cause. They don't know what causes it. Same thing with the schizoaffective/bipolar disorder. I was almost killed by a medication when I was dehydrated that I had to go to Providence hospital. Zyprexa was the name of the medication. The railroad doctor must not have known you aren't supposed to give Zyprexa to a person that's been dehydrated. Not only that, Zyprexa's been known to cause diabetes in some people. So JP I'm giving you a heads up of what has happened to me since the time I talked with you. So I can know exactly what Hired Gun is speaking about when she mentions anything about a mental institution because I was placed in one called Rainbow Mental Health facility. I kept telling my grandparents I didn't have ADD/PDD PDD is pervasive developmental disorder. I've been diagnosed several times by different people. Maybe Judas Iscariot had a case of bipolar disorder because normally with bipolar disorder they tend to be suicidal and think that everyone is out to kill them. I had the part where I thought some of my family was going to kill me. I guess trying to defend Seventh-day adventist doctrine against Amos eight, plus what I was probably eating and drinking, I wasn't drinking whole lot of water. I read somewhere where too much water can cause someone to go into epilepsy. I try to live and abide by what the bible says in all areas including areas of health and monetary matters in which it's all the Lord's to begin with so I try to give when I can. Since, I don't have a church to go to though, I can't see the tithe going any where though. I had a job for a while then it was taken away from me while I was in the hospital. Other than that I try to study the scriptures as best as I can by letting the Holy Spirit guide me into all truth. What's really trying is the passages about Abraham and what he said about Sarah. Also the passages of Jesus avoiding death from the Jews/Pharisees and other common enemies of Jesus's day, I guess because his crucifixion time hadn't arrived yet or something about that it wasn't his hour yet to come. Something of that nature. That'd be my closest guess as to one of the reasons why he avoided being killed. Other than that I don't know why he avoided being killed. If anybody could shed some light on any of those subjects including JPHolding can answer. That and the sabbath incidents. I would also like to know whether we should keep the ten commandments as Christians? You folks let me know If I've been too harsh or if I need to rephrase the questions for you in list format I will do that also. JPHolding if you see this I apologize to you for not telling you the criteria before I e-mailed you. I could've taken it privately but I decided to apologize openly and candidly here JP. Sorry for any misunderstandings JP. In Christian regards, William Roach :smile:
