No Sabbatarians keep the Sabbath. They all heat their houses when it's cold etc. And do other things the Sabbath forbade.

Physical unbelieving Israel ceased to exist after the generation of the cross died off. When Christ abolished circumcision on the cross, nothing remained to make one a Jew in the biblical sense. It was always circumcision that made one a Jew or physical member of physical Israel. Today's...

Do you use the term X-mas Should we? Is it wrong if we do? I pointed out your mentioning Xmas also comes from the Roman Catholic MASS. You discuss the X, why not the MASS?

I don't think you understand Paul's position. You seem to think I teach sinless perfection like Wesley. It's too simple. We are rotten throughout. But with the Holy Spirit, we can keep our sinfulness confined to the temptation realm. The difference between us is experience. I've experienced...

I surrender all by not killing myself. But I resist lust when it wells up in me. I'm planning a post about the differences between self-denial and denying self? Do you have any thoughts on this?

You cannot surrender your sinful make-up. But you can surrender obeying it. Martyrs surrender all, but unless you are willing to die upholding Christ's words about loving instead of killing enemies, you cannot fathom it. I did this long ago and live a life free from the fear of death. Jesus...
