    What exactly is ''resting'' on the Sabbath as to keeping it 'Holy'?

    @LawofLove I understand why you see the issue this way, and I appreciate the consistency with which you are approaching it. But I think we are still operating from two different covenant assumptions. You seem to begin with the assumption that every Old Covenant command remains binding in the...

    What exactly is ''resting'' on the Sabbath as to keeping it 'Holy'?

    @LawofLove, Thank you again for taking the time to explain your position carefully. I do understand the seriousness with which you approach this subject, and I agree that we should never place human tradition above God’s truth. I also agree that Jesus upheld the commandments of God and...

    What exactly is ''resting'' on the Sabbath as to keeping it 'Holy'?

    I do not believe Romans 14 is calling God’s Word a “doubtful disputation,” nor am I saying God’s commandments are based on human opinion. My point is that Paul appears to allow liberty regarding the observance of days among believers without treating disagreement over those days as...

    What exactly is ''resting'' on the Sabbath as to keeping it 'Holy'?

    @LawofLove, I hear the concern you are raising, and I want to be careful not to misrepresent your position. I am not dismissing Scripture, Paul, or the importance of God’s commandments. I also agree that Jesus warned against elevating human tradition above God’s Word. Where I think we are...

    What exactly is ''resting'' on the Sabbath as to keeping it 'Holy'?

    I understand the way you are framing the issue, and I agree this is really where the disagreement becomes clear. I also agree that the New Testament does not always restate Old Testament commands in a “re-listing” format. The apostles often assume continuity while also reinterpreting practices...

    What exactly is ''resting'' on the Sabbath as to keeping it 'Holy'?

    @LawofLove, I understand your point that the Sabbath is connected to creation and not only to Sinai, and I agree that Genesis presents God’s rest as part of the created order before sin. Where I think we still differ is not about whether Sabbath appears in creation but about what that means...

    What exactly is ''resting'' on the Sabbath as to keeping it 'Holy'?

    @LawofLove, I want to be clear that I am not arguing that the Old Testament is deleted, or that God’s Word is confused, or that His righteousness changes. I fully agree that all Scripture is inspired and that God’s character does not change. The question I am trying to keep focused is more...

    What exactly is ''resting'' on the Sabbath as to keeping it 'Holy'?

    @LawofLove, I hear the concern you are raising, that God does not change and therefore what He declared holy remains holy. I agree with that foundation: God’s character, righteousness, and truth do not change. Where I think "we are still interpreting the text differently" is not about whether...

    What exactly is ''resting'' on the Sabbath as to keeping it 'Holy'?

    @LawofLove, “Can you point me to a clear New Testament command where the apostles require Gentile believers in Christ to keep the seventh-day Sabbath as a covenant obligation?” :clmSmlx

    What exactly is ''resting'' on the Sabbath as to keeping it 'Holy'?

    @LawofLove, In Hebrews 4, I think the key issue is how we understand the nature of the “rest” being described. I agree the passage draws on the seventh day from Genesis, and I agree that God’s rest is real and meaningful. Where we differ is whether Hebrews 4 is re-establishing seventh-day...

    What exactly is ''resting'' on the Sabbath as to keeping it 'Holy'?

    @LawofLove, Thank you again for the thoughtful response. I do respect the seriousness with which you approach scripture and your desire to obey God faithfully. I also agree with several things you said: God’s righteousness does not change. God does not have one moral standard for Jews and...

    What exactly is ''resting'' on the Sabbath as to keeping it 'Holy'?

    @LawofLove, I appreciate the seriousness with which you approach scripture and your desire to honor God’s commandments. I agree that the Sabbath was holy, that God established it, and that righteousness matters deeply to the Lord. I also agree that believers are called to obedience, holiness...

    What exactly is ''resting'' on the Sabbath as to keeping it 'Holy'?

    I agree that the Sabbath was a holy command given by God under the law of Moses. My question would be whether the New Testament ever commands Gentile believers to keep the Sabbath as a binding covenant requirement under Christ. When the apostles met in Acts 15 to decide what requirements should...

    Vision Of The Goat

    Vision Of The Goat I was out back spending time with the Lord when I had a vision. In this vision, a goat was standing on the crest of a hill. Its large, curled horns framed its head as it snorted fiercely and pawed at the ground. Below the hill lay a valley with a small patch of pasture beside...
