As we’re talking about observing the jewish holy days and dietary laws, then you are saying observing the jewish holy days and dietary laws is a big deal as regards salvation - it is a matter of salvation. So you said this was false statement earlier, because?

What I said earlier was that keeping the holy days and food laws of the Lord Jesus Christ does not save us. Plenty of people have or will do this and won't be saved. A good example is the Pharisees.

It's the same with not killing and not robbing. Plenty of people don't do those things, but that won't save them.

But at the same time does that make it "okay" to rob and kill? Of course not.

I know you're struggling with this...let me try an analogy:

Let's say I tell my son that if he plays in the road that there's a good chance he'll get hit by a car and die.

My son says "I think you're wrong...I'm going to play in the road."

My son continues to play in the road. How long do you think it will be before he gets hit by a car?

If a Christian falls into this trap of sin, believes that robbing or killing or breaking the Lord's sabbath is "okay" because they've got the spirit of the Lord and willfully and continually does it then they're playing in the road. They're blaspheming, rebelling against the Lord and eventually they'll get to the point of rejecting his spirit.

Hope it helps....

I said your view was it’s a matter of salvation. You said: “that’s false.”

No, I’m not having trouble with it, because it’s not a sin.

What I’m having trouble with is clearly identifying your view on it.

Now, other than for the UCG and maybe a couple of other sects, it’s not a sin at all. It’s not even considered in the subject of repenting, therefore.

So, for Christians in this case, is it a matter of salvation or not? Not done, not repented for not doing.
