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.

Paul said those things that were written apply to Christians.

1 Corinthians 10 seems to disagree. Which part of what I was claiming it taught were you disagreeing with?

I disagree. Matthew 11 28Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. Christ is not saying, "Come and do not work," He is saying that "rest" is...

No, I'd like you to address what is being taught here: Paul is warning the church against sinning.

Right. Initially, Moses told Pharaoh to let the people go so they can go and serve God. The same Law says that God tested them to see if they would keep His commands in His land. The opposite of rest is torment (those who receive the mark will be tormented and have no rest). Keeping God's...

They were saved from Egypt by the blood of lambs (we're saved from the Kingdom of satan, and bondage to sin, by Christ's blood). They were baptized into Moses (we are baptized into Christ). They ate manna (we take Communion). Paul sets up a parallel in order to move further and establish...

Not sure what's difficult. The opening verses list a few of the aspects of the Jews' salvation from Egypt, being baptized into Moses, and eating manna--all corresponding, according to Paul, to the Christian experience--and he goes on to warn that, irrespectively, they sinned after all of these...
