Rights=Do No Harm. An abortion can't be a right because it harms the child as well as the father in some instances. In my perfect world, the question I ask myself is, If there was no "government" could I do this without harming someone in their life, liberty or property? IF the answer is yes, then I do it. As for the laws, statutes and judgements of Yahweh? I'd take no issue with them as long as men become like unto angels. Since it is MEN who will be deciding what day the Sabbath is, what exactly is taking the name of God in vain is, what an graven image is, and how to determine what another God would be.
I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do. I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do. ~ Robert A. Heinlein.
In other words, Mark, you DO take issue with the Bible's commandments, statutes, and judgments and, in turn, take issue with the God who provided them - thus, making yourself a judge of the One you erroneously claim to be your God and Savior!
"One who turns his ear away from listening to the Law, even his prayer is an abomination." (Proverbs 28:9)
"“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many [a]miracles?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; leave Me, you who practice lawlessness.’" (Matthew 7:21-23)
You persist in putting the cart before the horse. There are answers to all of your questions/protests, including regarding civil leaders and the sabbath. However, your "faith" is misplaced/inappropriate if you must have the answers before surrendering to God's will concerning His dominion mandate via His perfect law of liberty (one and the same as His Ten Commandments and their respective statutes and civil judgments), per Psalm 19:7-11, etc.
I tire of providing the same responses to your same contentions time and again.
"[You are] Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith." (2 Timothy 3:7-8)
No more of your antinomian, humanistic, anarchist diatribes on my page.
But when Pastor Ted Weiland heard that he had silenced other pastors, he gathered together with a few of his MTI followers. Then one of them, a lawyer, asked Mark a question, testing him, and saying, “Mark, which is the great commandment in the law?”
Mark responded to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”
And Christ then pointed out to Mark that his claim to loving Yahweh with all his heart, soul, and mind is an idle claim in that, with his claim to anarchism, he's rejected Me as King by his rejection of My dominion mandate for establishing government of, by, and for Me, based upon My triune law (My Ten Commandments and their respective statutes, *and civil judgments*), adjudicated by biblically qualified men of God, per Matthew 7:21-23, etc.
Surprisingly enough, not really, you didn't actually answer my question. You skirt around it without simply answering it. But as for calling names? You're the expert! Do I detect a note of frustration in your comment? A bit of "righteous" indignation? How is it I am placing the cart before the horse? I'm glad YOU aren't Yahweh, for sure! HE LOVES ME. I KNOW HE DOES. I can look back on my life to the day I was born and see HE LOVES ME in the path I've followed. You don't walk in my shoes, and I in yours so to make some of the claims you do here against me is nothing but your intellect getting in the way of reality.
Righteous indignation? You bet! As with anyone who continually claims to know God while rejecting His Word, His Commandments, statutes, and judgments, and His dominion mandate to His true subjects and ambassadors.
My finite intellect has nothing to do with this, tragically your own posts, based upon God's Word, has proven that you are, in fact, an antinomian, humanistic anarchist - the latter which you make no bones about yourself.
Antinomianism is any view which rejects laws or legalism and argues against moral, religious or social norms, or is at least considered to do so. The term has both religious and secular meanings. In some Christian belief systems, an antinomian is one who takes the principle of salvation by faith and divine grace to the point of asserting that the saved are not bound to follow the moral law contained in the Ten Commandments. Where am I doing this Ted? I agree with the 10 Commandments. I just want to know how you are going to implement them and especially the first four. That's all. I am NOT arguing against them. I am asking for you to show me how we are going to make it work. I do NOT argue against moral or social norms. Some what might be "considered" religious norms, yes. You are obviously, at least to me, reading into this something that I'm not saying. As for the Humanism accusation, that is basically putting faith in humanity rather than a divine entity. So in my opinion it would mean that an anarcho-humanist would have faith in his fellow man to support each other and the ideals that he holds.....Also not me. I absolutely put faith in a divine entity. So where exactly are you coming up with your definitions to describe me? Think about the commandment that Yahshua made for us. LOVE YAHWEH WITH ALL YOUR BEING and your NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF! How much simpler could it be? If I believe that somehow I'm a antinomian humanist anarchist? Geezzzzz....
One of many other such statements: " As for the laws, statutes and judgements of Yahweh? I'd take no issue with them as long as men become like unto angels."
Well, men are never going to be angels, nor perfect, but that doesn't you the right to rejects Yahweh's moral law (all Ten Commandments and their respective statutes (that explain them) and their civil judgments (that enforce them) - the latter of which you've dissed on more than one occasion.
Thus, I stand by my accusation that you are an antinomian, humanist anarchist.
You can stand by your accusation as apparently you don’t know the meanings of any of the words. Since I adhere to meanings of words, I’ll have to say I rebuke your accusation. As for men being like angels…you have yet to answer HOW this transformation is going to take place because you CAN’T. Just admit it. Who would these anointed men be that would decide what day the Sabbath is on. And since they WON’T BE angels, how can we be SURE that whoever they are, ARE anointed and not just some holier than thou person who has deemed themselves to be a “Kingdom Ambassador”. I’ve been attacked, ridiculed, accused and pretty much had verbal stones thrown at me FOR ASKING QUESTIONS that you and a couple of your followers have been unable to answer. That is the issue between you and I, Ted, you can’t answer the questions so your throw a temper tantrum and accuse me falsely of being that which I am not. You aren’t the only one guilty of behaving in that manner. I find pastors and people of “authority” in other Christian churches have the same problem. Can’t answer the questions? Let’s stone the one who dares ask them.

You already posted this. Have you had a tetanus shot lately?

Good read! Keep up the good work, Ted.
Thanks, Joe! Appreciate it!
