I've posted it. You're free to interact with it when you choose.

OK If you're acquainted with it you know that they were perpetually sinning against God's commands (eg, they went out to collect manna on Sabbath after God had explicitly told them not to do it), and that that was what the text was referring to when it said "unbelief". They did not harken to...

I do not at all hold to sinless perfectionism, but "there is a sin that is not unto death", and those are sins that are absolved.

Well, you're actually calling the writer a liar, because he says they believed.

You apparently are unacquainted with the reference material Hebrews is dealing with--they kept on disobeying God in the wilderness. That was their "unbelief". Their disobedience. All those who "believed" God, spoken of in Hebrews 11, were DOING things God wanted. Hebrews 11 8By faith Abraham...

Nope, if belief was all you needed, then all those Jews who believed, but would not confess Christ, because they loved sin, the praise of men, more than the praise of God, would have been saved. Again, you not only misunderstand Paul but are also misunderstanding John. John 12 42Nevertheless...

Yeah, I'm sticking to the topic of 1 Corinthians 10, not being diverted.

It's not relevant, because that's not Paul's point--Paul's point is that they experienced what was a type and shadow of the true reality we are experiencing today, and this was so that we could learn from their errors and not make the same errors so we don't face the reality of the consequences...

They weren't trying to enter the promised land, they were sinning against God, disobeying His commands. That was the definition of not resting--not obeying God.

I invite you to substantiate your heretofore empty claim that I'm guilty of doing that. Think if I said the same of you: you're misapplying things Paul teaches. Would you agree merely because I said it?

The children of God in the OT were not exempt from His fury if they sinned--they forfeited their father's promise by sinning.

Christ says it is going to Him and taking His yoke upon yourself. In that culture, a "yoke" is a rabbi's teaching. This doesn't mean the absence of labor, but a particular kind of labor--labor in accordance with Christ's guiding grace, but labor nonetheless.

Also, Christ did not say eating His flesh and drinking His blood was communion, nor even that it was merely believing; He said that was being sent in His Name. John 6 56Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood remains in Me, and I in him. 57Just as the living Father sent Me and I live because...

Address 1 Corinthians 10.

It's not me, it's Scripture that warns Christians so that they will not be deceived and fall under condemnation.

He is warning them they will inherit God's Kingdom, despite having been saved, if they commit those sins he lists. 1 Corinthians 6 9Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor...

We already know what Hebrews talks about when it talks about faith whereby rest is entered--every person of faith it mentions DID WORKS BY FAITH. Hebrews 11 8By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, without knowing where he was...

There is no connection between the two--you defined "rest" as something it was not, then I brought up Jesus's definition of "rest", and the Scriptures' expectations of God's people, and how they define "rest", and you brought up 1 Jn 3, which doesn't mention "rest".

You're comparing apples to oranges--the contexts aren't the same. In John 6, they wanted more food, and were asking Jesus to manifest some more food, like He had done, seeking to rely on physical substance; in 1 Corinthians 10, there is a recognition that the manna was a type and shadow of...

Read the passage--he lists explicit sins, and warns the Church not to do them.
