Yeah, Sabbath is when God rests after creating. Ask God if He has created anew, if He has rested anew, and if there is a new commemoration of that resting (a new Sabbath). Ask Him if you care. I don't care bc I've never been convicted about it.

The Torah is full of concessions for wicked men anyway--the entire premise is wrong--such as permission to make vows, which Jesus says are "of the evil one" (Mt 5), and "any cause" divorce, which Jesus condemns as "adultery" (Mt 19).

Well, I have studied it out--it isn't binding, because it's a commemoration of rest from creating, and that means if there is another act of creating, there will follow a new rest, and there will be a new commemoration. That's why it's not binding. Ro 14 also justifies me in not observing the...

Those who serve in newness of Spirit do fulfill the righteous requirement of the Law (Ro 8:4), they just do it by God working in them (Php 2:12,13), not by means of the Law, which is weak in that it relies on sinful flesh (Ro 8:3; Gal 3:1-3). For instance, the Gentile believers, who do not know...

Still in the middle of learning about it--I learned the first part (what it's not), now I only lack the second (what it is)--I have more concerning things to study and ask God about. I learned about this because it was puzzling to me that God had never convicted me of not keeping 7th Day...

By process of elimination, I know Christians do not need to worry about people pretending to speak for God condemning them for not observing 7th Day Sabbath--that's my point.

Are you acknowledging there is a New Sabbath?

Yes, as long as we are keeping His commands (believe in the Name of God's Son and love one another), we are abiding in Him, and so are being given the Spirit/eternal life that is only found within Christ (1 Jn 5:11).

Yes, God's children are to walk "even as Christ walked"--and if they don't, if instead they commit immorality and idolatry, they have no inheritance in God's Kingdom (1 Co 6), so they fall under God's wrath, and forfeit the Promise, just as occurred with the Jews after they were saved and...

According to 1 Jn 3:23,24, the Spirit is for those who keep Christ's Commands. The command is : 1) believe in the Name of God's Son, and 2) love one another. This is why Paul warns "whoever disregards God's prohibition on immorality disregards not man but God Who gives you His Spirit" (1 Th...

Sabbath Commemorates God's rest He took after creating. New Creation = New Rest = New Commemoration (Sabbath)

The issue is you seem to believe (tell me if I'm mistaken) that justification happens only once, at the outset of the Christian walk, whereas Scripture teaches God doesn't just judge once, but continually judges your standing--eg, the believer who doesn't do what he believes is correct is guilty...

The two are unrelated--one is a concession for hard hearted men. They eventually construed it as a permit to divorce even for burning her husband's food. That was the issue being addressed there. "For any cause".

Yes, we are born again, and yet "what we shall be has not yet appeared". We are in a process.

I'll have to catch up with you later--I'm in the States, and it is 1am here.

1 Corinthians 15 2and by which [Gospel] you are being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you—unless you believed in vain.

Salvation is not just one thing, it is multi-dimensional, since humans are multi-dimensional. "Salvation" is Christ paying the glory-debt we owe God. "Salvation" is from slavery to sin, partly by destroying the body of Sin (Ro 6:6,14, 7:5, 25). "Salvation" is from God's current wrath--"the...

Yes, we are saved by grace through faith, but, also, Romans 2:6-16 teaches that only those who do good will be repaid with eternal life at the eschatological judgment. So, you want to believe ONE of those ideas, but you want to reject the other. That's the difference between us: I want to...

Yup, "have been saved", and the Scripture also says we're "being saved" and that we "will be saved"--all three tenses are in Scripture. I don't believe just one snippet, I believe all of it.

To me, your issue with works is just a misunderstanding of Paul. Paul says we're not saved by works, but, afterward, commands Christians to walk in righteousness.
