I believe that the practice of keeping THE weekly Sabbath is A real thing that points back to the creation of the heavens and the earth and the Exodus, which is a symbol of redemption, as per Exodus 20 and Deuteronomy 5. As to the world being all there is, I know nothing of such an idea. I'm...

The Sabbath is an amazing subject. 99% of Christians don't want to talk about it. Except for when they do. They hate it. Unless it's the one that you're supposed to keep every day. They love it. If they believe it's actually Jesus. Of course, some believe it never really started yet...

It's not just the day of the week that's wrong. Who keeps Sunday holy? Someone posts about the Sabbath and then objectors Google it and start slinging mud about organizations and leaders and then, irony of ironies, blame all of that on the people who are only talking about what the Bible says...

Scott, honestly, this is just a bunch of neo-Gnosticism. Fulfillment = useless/valueless Resurrection = rest Sunday = Son Come on. .

Baloney. It's real simple. Sin is the transgression of the law. What people who have decided to live for Jesus do is sin a lot less, since they're so grateful to Him for paying for the sins they've already committed and they don't want to add any more to His suffering. I don't commit...

Nonsense. Every day has always belonged to the LORD. But He has only blessed one. And you know nothing about what Sabbath-keepers do on the other six. You're just being obnoxious toward beliefs and believers that don't make it onto your favorites list, like you always do. .

Yet there's truly nothing new under the sun. The commandments of God have been trampled ever since Lucifer walked by that mirror and first admired himself rather than the God who made him. We're just cycling through strategies of excuse until Christ has to intervene lest there be none of us left...

Actually, what you provided is your own misunderstanding. There is only one covenant that has ever saved anyone—the new or Everlasting covenant, brought to you by the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. .

It's really a shame about all the contempt that gets piled onto people who believe and teach that God requires His children to keep all 10 of His commandments literally and the loopholes that are inconsistently embraced to "prove" otherwise. Such a shame. Troublers of Israel, we are. .

It's easy to say when we're not directing it at a single person, isn't it? Hi, Dan! Always a pleasure. :)

I'd actually rather have an answer to my questions than a reading review assignment, if it's not too much trouble. What makes you comfortable telling other people that I don't understand covenants and testaments? .

No, and if you went back in time 50 years, walked into a church and said that, everyone would look at you like you were from Mars. .

Oops But God doesn't explain our Sabbath rest in Hebrews. He merely alludes to it. .

So all of His teachings are old covenant stuff? Like the stricter sense of murder and adultery, etc.? I thought it started with Matthew, ch. 1. You mean the Gospels up until the crucifixion should be part of the Old Testament? .

Where do I send the money? .

I only rest in Christ when I rest. Which happens a lot. Like when I rest from works as a payment for salvation; Or when I do the circadian thing overnight. Sometimes I have to make a conscious effort to rest in Him right in the middle of some work when it gets particularly challenging or...

Why would anyone eat bacon? .

Not sure why it would need to. And I suspect that bellying up to a table of food made from a short supply of animals that God had previously classified as being the opposite of "clean" after a hard day's work wouldn't exactly have made Noah's mouth water. In fact, I suspect just about anyone...

Some of what was given to Israel at Sinai was just a refresher course of what had been handed down from Adam by oral tradition and forgotten because of their long mingling with the heathen. It could also demonstrate that more of the animals that were to be used as food and as sacrifices would...

The distinction between clean and unclean animals was not particular to Israelites, and existed long before them. :) .
