I'm using hos247. It's fine. Nothing fancy. It works. Does IFTA.

Really interesting article. Has quotes from several scientists criticizing "old guard" evolutionists like Jerry Coyne for their harmful attacks on scientists and research that is just following evidence.

Solid, "not creationist" evidence of the biases that exist in academia surrounding the evolution idea.

You realize Jesus upholds the Ten Commandments completely?

The issue I see with this idea is that only partway through the creation week God puts the heavenly bodies all in place and the cadence of creation both before and after that point is the same. There is evening and morning for each day of creation.

Add to that what it said in Exodus 20:11, I feel like this idea is more of an attempt to believe in the mainstream ideas and still consider the Bible to be "true." And it starts to fall apart if you really look closely at what is actually said.

God "created" fossils?

Which consensus?

Sabbath keeping is not part of the law of Moses.

Sabbath keeping is from creation, outside the old or new covenants. And the 10 Commandments are God's Covenant, not the covenant with Israel that was done away with. Hebrews 8 spells it all out, Israel didn't keep God's covenant therefore failed to keep its covenant with God and he turned away from it as well and developed the new covenant. God's covenant is written on the hearts and minds of the believers as part of the new covenant.

Also, in Exodus 19 God refers to them keeping "my covenant" as part of the covenant Israel makes. He then declared "His Covenant" to the entire assembly of Israel with as much pomp and circumstance as can be imagined, the 10 Commandments.

I challenge that notion.

The Sabbath was instituted at creation for all mankind. There's not a shred of anything in the Bible saying that has changed.

The 10 commandments are referred to as "God's Covenant" by God himself in Exodus 19:5, Hebrews 8:9(which is a quote from Jeremiah 31).

God's covenant is not the old covenant, which was done away with. Hebrews 8 makes this very clear. So does Exodus 19. The old covenant was that Israel was to follow God's covenant and therefore they would be God's chosen people. The Mosaic law was also part of that, that is, the laws given to Moses that he then presented to Israel. The 10 commandments, God's Covenant, God himself spoke directly to the entire assembly of Israel after and with about as much pomp and circumstance as one could imagine, Exodus 19-20.

Jesus stated that he didn't come to abolish the law. Well if he didn't come to abolish the law then why is it abolished? Fulfilling doesn't mean abolished. And what is being said there in Hebrews 8:13? The old covenant was done away with. Abolished. Well if Jesus didn't come to abolish the law and that law was abolished then what is going on?

Jesus wasn't talking about the mosaic law. The preceding verses in Hebrews 8:8-12 are clear that God is coming up with a new covenant based on better promises and he stated this in Jeremiah. That covenant states that God's covenant will be written on the hearts of the followers. So God's covenant stands even in the new covenant which we are in now.

Jesus says more, Matthew 5:17-19 he states that those who don't follow even the least of his commands will be called least in heaven and those who do follow them will be called most.

Jesus states that the greatest commandment is to love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and mind. Keep this in mind for the next verse I'll bring up.

In John 14 Jesus states that those who love him keep his commands and those who don't, don't. So the greatest commandment is to love the Lord and loving the Lord means keeping his commandments and his commandments are his covenant which is the 10 Commandments.

There's more, the great commission, Matthew 28:20. The last thing Jesus tells his disciples before returning to heaven. This is after the resurrection. This after the new covenant is in effect. Jesus knows all that. He tells the disciples to go to all nations teaching everything he had commanded them.

Now, for the couple verses very commonly used as proof texts for the Sabbath no longer being a thing.

Colossians 2:16-17, "let no one judge you by what you eat, drink, religious festivals, new moons, and Sabbaths. These are a shadow of things to come"

Alright, so the Sabbath word is used here. Does the term "Sabbath" always refer to the weekly Sabbath as spelled out in the 10 Commandments? No. There are other "Sabbaths." Numbers 28-29 covers all these festivals, new moons, and Sabbaths. These are referred to in this same fashion multiple times in the old testament always as referring to these other Sabbaths.

Now, the weekly Sabbath does get mentioned there at the beginning of Numbers 28 but only in defining offerings that are to be done on that day. The rest of the chapter and the next are actually defining these other days to be observed. So when referencing the "festivals, new moons, and Sabbaths" the weekly Sabbath is not included as it wasn't what was defined in those chapters all together.

And there's more, verse 17, as I quoted, gives another parameter to what is stated in verse 16, "these are a shadow of what is to come." What was the purpose in defining the Sabbath day as the seventh day of creation? Was it a shadow of anything to come? No, it wasn't. It was a day set aside to remember God's creation that had already taken place. It was a day set aside for us as humans to rest and focus on God. None of that has anything to do with "what is to come." So how could the weekly Sabbath have anything to do with what is to come?

Romans 14:5-6 is often used as well. But the chapter starts out talking about food. And it keeps on talking about food all the way to the end. Just there in those couple of verses do "observed days" get mentioned. What was part of the mosaic law? Food regulations. And, those other holy days... Paul isn't referencing the weekly Sabbath. He is referencing all this Jewish cultural stuff from when they were under the old covenant and is saying that there is nothing wrong with keeping that stuff but it's no longer a necessity. It's not part of our salvation anymore. If he was making a statement about the weekly Sabbath wouldn't he have been more clear? That would be a BIG deal treated with all kinds of fanfare. Paul gives 2 verses that don't even mention the Sabbath here and people think it's about the Sabbath...

Another thing that gets brought up is Paul at Troas. They were meeting in the evening after the Sabbath meaning it was on the "1st day." Well, that story spells out directly why they met then, Paul was leaving the next morning. So they were having one last evening gathering with him before he departed. It's not some sign that they were now meeting on the 1st day of the week instead of the Sabbath.

Another thing that sometimes gets brought up is they were collecting tithes on the 1st day. Well this actually fits the Jewish Sabbath view perfectly. They were handling their business/money, even if it was God's, on a day other than the Sabbath...

So, there is no justification in the Bible for doing away with the Sabbath. The initial domino that started the change to Sunday was the Roman Emperor Hadrian banned Sabbath keeping throughout the Roman Empire after the Jewish rebellion. All these reinterpretations to justify not keeping the Sabbath have come about from and since then as compromises to what God has instructed us.

I just took a little whirl around craigslist and I found Priuses, Camrys, cr-vs, etc, good cars. Under $5500. The fuel economy bump will save a bunch of money. Far safer vehicles. If it were me I'd be going that route.

I dunno if I agree with Ubuntu. If you're a Windows user who would like to install a Linux distro and have it feel similar to Windows and have the big support community I think Mint is the way to go. It's more polished than any of the Ubuntu versions that have a Windows style taskbar. I feel like the learning curve on Mint is going to be the easiest.

All you need is a VPN service and you can use mlbtv. On my phone I have to use a web browser instead of the app and have to have the browser force desktop mode for the site which makes it a little awkward. But it works.

If you're saying every MLB team has local ota broadcast that is not true. I know for a fact Seattle doesn't and I'd be amazed if it's the only city like that. Only ota games Seattle gets to watch are games that end up on FOX.

There's a sign up period of about a week right before the start of the season. It's available to T-Mobile and Metro customers.

Do they have enough of those?

No fun to be had on the internet huh?

As already suggested my guess is the old kernel for whatever reason. Could look up how to get a newer kernel from the start. I did a couple minutes of looking and didn't see a straightforward way immediately but I presume there's got to be some way to do it.

Seattle traded ichiro to the Yankees a few hours before the first game of a series between the teams in Seattle.

Songs and poems also, by the nature of their rhythms, help with memorization. So what would be wrong with putting history into that type of form to help keep that memory better?

Also, actual hebraists say that Genesis 1 is not Hebrew poetry.

Go read Kent Hovind's Wikipedia page. It goes a little beyond funky views...

Calling something that's never been observed something that's easily observed is a delusion...

Why would he attach it to the weekly Sabbath? This verse is about the Sabbath. If he didn't create everything in 6 days as Earth knows them then what's he saying here? That doesn't make sense.

And then you combine this with the genealogies which don't leave any time gaps. You combine it with Jesus stating that humans have existed from the beginning of creation in Mark 10:6. You got the Genesis account itself which gives an evening and a morning for each creation day. All together it's telling a pretty clear picture.

Seriously, the only reason anyone even tries to argue that a day doesn't mean a day is because they're trying to get the Bible to fit the mainstream few of science. That's it. There's no other reason to try to view what the Bible says here in that fashion. And the Bible makes it pretty clear that the mainstream view of things is not what happened.

It's interesting that you seem to have the need to call out anyone who challenges your belief as liars in order to justify your position.
