I would think they made a mistake on imprinting someone's name on the cover. I know you can get some real bargains if you're willing to cover up the mistake.

So what does discussion mean? Doesn't it mean you either believe Genesis is the infallible word of God, or you don't? Don't let the things of this world or the wisdom of man negate Truth. Because God's word is the only truth we have.

The Boy Scouts of America is a private orginization. As such, they can set the standard for membership. Each member of the Boy Scouts must swear to the following Oath, and agree to obey the following law. If the member does not abide by the oath or law, the can lose their membership. The Boy Scouts have successfully defended their position on homosexuality based upon the "morally straight" clause of the pledge. Since the Oath also recognizes God, and the Law stipulates that all Boy Scouts are to be reverant, Athiests are also not allowed. btw... I'm an Eagle Scout. The Scout Oath On my honor I will do my best To do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law; To help other people at all times; To keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight. The Scout Law Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly, Courteous, Kind, Obedient, Cheerful, Thrifty, Brave, Clean, and Reverent.

Oh, I'm sorry. I misunderstood your post.

Hi allofgrace, Sorry about the confusion. I was refering to your previous post about the law being our schoolmaster, and pointing us to Christ. Which I believe is in Gal. 3:24. I certainly don't disagree with you, but was attempting to point out that if we're taught something, we're expected to follow it after we "graduate". My point being even though the law points to Jesus, we should still try to live a Godly lifestyle.

Hey allofgrace, When you finished drivers ed, did you stop obeying traffic laws? I'm not aware of any schoolmaster who expects you to forget everything you learned in his class. Once you graduate, you're expected to put what you learn to use.

According to Ezekiel, animal sacrifice WILL be reinstated during the millennium.

Or Psalms 83

What man said! (well actually the scripture he quoted...) I'd just like to point out that it only takes ONE sin to be condemned to eternal damnation. So, I fail to see the point. This scripture is speaking about attempting to gain salvation through Torah observance. I'm in complete agreement with everyone on the issue of salvation.

That's a good question, Tinky. Christians on average observe 75-80% of the Law already. They may not observe the Sabbath, the dietary laws, or the Lord's Feasts. But as long as they don't think that being Torah observant is the key to salvation, is it a sin? I don't think so. We need to ask ourselves "WDJD?" (What DID Jesus Do?) As a Christian, I strive to be like Jesus. From reading the Gospels, I know that Jesus was a sinless sacrifice for me and you. That sin was defined by the Torah, and Jesus kept EVERY commandment. I'm just trying to follow in Jesus' footsteps.

I do observe the dietary laws. I am circumcised. I observe the feasts. I observe the Sabbath. I wear zitzits. I try not to wear clothes with mixed fibers. I garden with heirloom seeds. I try to adhere to the rest of the Law. But none of that saves me. Jesus Christ is my Savior and Lord. I choose to do these things, because God does not want to be worshipped the way the pagans worship their gods. He's said these things please me and those things don't. I keep the law because of my Love for God. (The greatest commandment)

So are there TWO standards? No. We're all under the same standard. Christ is our propitiation. Our sins are no longer remembered, because of what Jesus did on the cross. But those sins are defined under the law.

"Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." John Adams (The Works of John Adams, ed. C. F. Adams, Boston: Little, Brown Co., 1851, 4:31) John Adams may have been right about Morality and our Republic, but I believe that mentality applies to ALL forms of government. Let me explain. The United States has encouraged democracy throughout the world. How's that worked out for us? Hamas was elected into power by the Palestinians, the Muslim Brotherhood has been elected into power in Egypt. I'm sure there are plenty of EVIL democracies in place. Some might even say that America has an evil democracy in place. The TYPE of government isn't the issue. It's the MORALITY of the government that's the issue. Let me provide you with an example. The people will flourish under a caring and benevolent dictator. The people will suffer under a harsh and unethical republic. Unfortunately, due to the depravity of man. There's no government that won't eventually become evil. EXCEPT. For the Theocracy that will be established once Jesus returns.

Really?

But did you repent?
