Where in the world do you get the idea that Jewelry walks hand in hand with idolitry and the wearing of it is an abomination?
And as for an abomination OT being an abomination in the NT? I can think of several, eating of Pork for one did not God tell Peter to take and eat in the vision? Working on the Sabbath for two. Did not Jesus tell the religious leaders of his day that he was the Lord of the Sabbath also, when his diciples were shucking and eating corn on the Sabbath?
Heres the deal as far as I am concerned, if you have to be a bible scholor to find salvation or have someone that has been studied for years show you the way then one is making too much out of salvation.
God does not give his spirit to those he does not accept. So your preaching to the chour, that is like judging someone that eats meat when you think it is sin. Who are you to judge when God has already accepted them. God is thier master.
Rom 14:3 Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.
Rom 14:4 Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.
Oh and as for my paraphras of the the scripture above I don't pick and choose one translation over the other. The same message can be found in all Gods word regarless of who translated them into the English. Do you realy think God would let his word be mis translated? Thats like saying God can't heal any more or God does'nt save any more or God is not in control.
We just did not want to use other translations because they did not make it easy to preach the doctrines we already preached. And we might have to admit we were wrong, and God forbid that. If God can admit he was wrong why can't you. |
And it just never ceases to amaze ME the lengths some people will go in order to explain away the Bible. Do you not fear God??
Eating pork & the Sabbath are not explicitly called "an ABOMINATION to the LORD thy GOD." As usual, you overlook my point.
How in the world can you not comprehend that gold & silver is connected to idolatry is beyond me. You just have to be willfully ignorant to ignore this [ever heard of the golden calf, which they made from....WHAT:______?]????
And how in the world does
Rom. 14 override something that's called an "ABOMINATION to God," I Ptr. 3,
I Tim. 2, etc., etc.???
Concerning your take on translations, do you accept the "scholarship" of the New World Translation by JW's, which outright denies the Deity of Christ??? Plumb silly......this is one of several reasons why I rarely even read your responses.
Now remember that bit about admitting wrong???? Time for introspection!
