#906- 10/3/2021

1. Why would God create the Ten Commandments for anyone to be able to change or replace His Holy Word? Didn’t even Christ himself say that He did not come to change or abolish God’s Law, but to fulfill it? That being said, why did man conclude that God’s Holy Sabbath Day be changed from it’s original day of Friday night through Saturday night and to be recognized on Sunday? Are we held accountable for administering to others this voluntary change of God’s Holy Word? (Rev. 22:18).
2. What are some reasons to believe in verbal inspiration?
3. What is the difference in preaching and teaching?
4. Can you please explain the cleansing of 1 John 1:7? Do we as Christians cease being in the light and saved between each incident of sin and our praying and confessing sins? Some preachers say we are lost each and every time, others say the blood continually cleanses us and we do not have to remember or may not even know each and every sin such as bad thoughts, offending others, or even those committed in ignorance. Which type of sins are covered and at what point does sin become walking in darkness?

1. How could Moses have written Genesis when writing was unknown in his day?
2. Please explain Ephesians 5:5? If you have committed adultery can you still enter the Kingdom of God?
3. Is it wrong to donate your organs?
4. My question is which of God’s Ten Commandments can we break? And if you agree that we must not break any of God’s commandments that He wrote and spoke, then why does God’s church break the 4th commandment? The royal decree to rest and worship on Sunday instead of Saturday was made by the Roman emperor Constantine.
