He don't need much to get anything from anything!
Ok; NOW what??
Not ALL of them.
Just the mouthy, mocking, "only way to do it" kind.
Rally?
Remember the Sabbath and keep it holy.
Then there is the self imposed Chik-fil-a stores.
Hobby Lobby; too!
SHHhhhh...
A lot of us oppose the SIN of homosexuality, even though it was a SIN! before the 10 commands were given to Israel.
Care to explain your comment in light of this?
One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.Romans 14:5
“Therefore, do not let anyone judge you about what you eat and drink or about the observance of a festival or of the new moon or of a SABBATH.
Colossians 2:16, 17
How hard can this be?

Matthew 5:27-28 niv
27 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ 28 But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
Number 11?
or knickers in a twist?
5 Then some of the believers who belonged to the party of the Pharisees stood up and said, "The Gentiles must be circumcised and required to keep the law of Moses."
6 The apostles and elders met to consider this question. 7 After much discussion, Peter got up and addressed them: "Brothers, you know that some time ago God made a choice among you that the Gentiles might hear from my lips the message of the gospel and believe. 8 God, who knows the heart, showed that he accepted them by giving the Holy Spirit to them, just as he did to us. 9 He did not discriminate between us and them, for he purified their hearts by faith. 10 Now then, why do you try to test God by putting on the necks of Gentiles a yoke that neither we nor our ancestors have been able to bear? 11 No! We believe it is through the grace of our Lord Jesus that we are saved, just as they are."
12 The whole assembly became silent as they listened to Barnabas and Paul telling about the signs and wonders God had done among the Gentiles through them. 13 When they finished, James spoke up. "Brothers," he said, "listen to me. 14 Simon has described to us how God first intervened to choose a people for his name from the Gentiles. 15 The words of the prophets are in agreement with this, as it is written:
16 "'After this I will return
and rebuild David's fallen tent.
Its ruins I will rebuild,
and I will restore it,
17 that the rest of mankind may seek the Lord,
even all the Gentiles who bear my name,
says the Lord, who does these things'
18 things known from long ago.
19 "It is my judgment, therefore, that we should not make it difficult for the Gentiles who are turning to God. 20 Instead we should write to them, telling them to abstain from food polluted by idols, from sexual immorality, from the meat of strangled animals and from blood. 21 For the law of Moses has been preached in every city from the earliest times and is read in the synagogues on every Sabbath."
The apostles and elders, your brothers,
To the Gentile believers in Antioch, Syria and Cilicia:
Greetings.
24 We have heard that some went out from us without our authorization and disturbed you, troubling your minds by what they said. 25 So we all agreed to choose some men and send them to you with our dear friends Barnabas and Paul— 26 men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. 27 Therefore we are sending Judas and Silas to confirm by word of mouth what we are writing. 28 It seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us not to burden you with anything beyond the following requirements: 29 You are to abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals and from sexual immorality. You will do well to avoid these things.
Farewell.
30 So the men were sent off and went down to Antioch, where they gathered the church together and delivered the letter. 31 The people read it and were glad for its encouraging message. 32 Judas and Silas, who themselves were prophets, said much to encourage and strengthen the believers. 33 After spending some time there, they were sent off by the believers with the blessing of peace to return to those who had sent them. [34] 35 But Paul and Barnabas remained in Antioch, where they and many others taught and preached the word of the Lord.
You SDA guys (and others) can now jump in with the But WAIT! meme.
When your wifey finds you LOOKING at another woman; you gonna find out, REALLY QUICK, what Jesus said about it!
I shudda read ahead.
I never met anyone throughout my life who mentioned this, let alone believed it. The Ninety Five Thesis were, on the other hand, nailed to the church door.
Seems you are making something up in order have an peculiar sense of satisfaction.
>>>I never met anyone throughout my life who mentioned this, let alone believed it. The Ninety Five Thesis were, on the other hand, nailed to the church door.>>>
Virtually every evangelical here does not believe the 10 Commandments are still binding. They believe they were nailed to the cross. Jewish, Old Covenant, blah blah blah.
Where have you been?
The sentence "They believe they were nailed to the cross" is misleading hyperbole. You should lead with the former sentence, which can be debated.
On the other hand, I won't debate it with you.
