QUOTE(Brick Step @ Aug 21 2007, 07:53 PM)  SoulEspresso Tap on the wrist received. (I’m not proud to confess my lack of computer skills, but fact is I’m not sure yet how either to “google” or to “PM.” Further confession: I was trying to edit my post # 138, but clicked one or two things I should not have clicked, and lo behold, post #138 stays, post #139 appears, and the Edit button disappears. That’s the only reason for my sort of double post there. But, I shall learn! I shall learn!  )It's all good. Go to www.google.com and type the phrase in question, then hit "google search." PM is "Personal Message" which is an option you get when clicking on our "names" to the left on these boards. QUOTE “Midnight is where the day begins.” Peace, and definitely no offence meant, but yes, I have questioned the wisdom of posting such a statement on this site. Whatever the quote may mean to you, whatever the message you might be wishing to convey, however good that message might be, however applicable to one limited set of circumstances, chances are many others who visit this site and maybe are not so closely focused on working through its particular lines of argument, are suffering another kind of abuse, this because of their conscientious desire to keep holy the Bible’s sunset-to-sunset, seventh-day Sabbath, in obedience to the fourth commandment of the Decalogue. In such circumstances, the “Midnight is where the day begins” statement, standing alone with no further explanation, seems to show lack of thought and care for their plight. For practical purposes, and for most of the week, of course, we are happy to fit in with the day as observed by most of the world, the day that begins and ends at midnight. But in their earnest desire to honour their Creator-God by keeping holy the seventh, sunset-to-sunset day, thousands around the world have lost employment, friends, their freedom and even their lives. Bible prophecy indicates that shortly before Jesus comes, this scenario will worsen. SE, I was just not comfortable with the “Midnight is where the day begins” quote at this time sitting there alone with no further explanation. I suspected this is where you were coming from, and perhaps I should have been more sensitive. Would an attribution help? I'd hope that no one would look to Irish rock bands for doctrinal instruction ...

There are appropriate places to find doctrinal instruction, but we can also find inspiration in an amazing variety of places in this world, even in Irish rock bands. -------------------- Got Peace?

But I didn't know about the "PM." Thanks for the explanation!

QUOTE(LaurenceD @ Aug 22 2007, 03:42 AM) Just a little reminder...gaurd closely both edges of the Sabbath. I didn't when I was younger. Too often we carried Saturday evening worship on into Sunday (after sundown on Sabbath), and now I realize that worshipping on into Sunday, albeit only a few minutes, I was honoring the mark of the beast. Be ready to work, play, or otherwise immediately after sundown on Saturday, right to the very second if possible, to clearly show your secular intentions for the new week! (a little tongue in cheek, but not a whole lot!)
