Yes, God hallowed it, but do you know why? The WHY is what is important, not the day of the week. If you are fixated on the letter, you won't see God in it. It is WHO it represented, like all the other holy convocations of Leviticus 23, the Sabbath being the first.

Cain murdered Abel, but was not put to death. In fact, he was given a mark somewhere on him so that everyone would know he was not to be killed. The law didn't exist except for a few commands that God spoke.

No! It wouldn't matter to a non-Christian. Many of them don't even have a conscience to object. But, yes to a Spirit-filled Christian, whether or not they have the whole truth yet or not. In the New Covenant it all boils down to the intent of the heart. For us, if you willfully sin a sin of...

Boy, nobody can get anything past you! You're smart, buddy! Yes, there was a very good reason and it pointed toward the Creator, and now we know Who. Knowing Who is graduation, but they were given the day as a kindergarten substitute to hallow until the true rest of God came to earth.

You are absolutely right. And many nonAdventists actually believe that Sunday is the Sabbath and fulfills the commandment now. Those who believe as I do are very rare indeed. I don't know any denomination that believes as I do on most things. LOL In fact, on another site I get banned every two...

Robert, being born again is not becoming like a human new born baby, unless you are talking about the one and only Jesus Christ. That is what you and I disagree with. You quote 1 John 3:7 "He who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous" as if anyone without Christ can also...

The Ten Commandments were given to all 12 tribes. Only two tribes were left during the time of Jesus. The rest were the Samaritans. Mark 2 is showing that the Lord of something is not in submission to it. Jesus is Lord of the Sabbath. HE is our Rest. When we abide in Jesus and He in us, we have...

That doesn't change anything. It was still to the Jews first, and they would be responsible for anyone in their company, no matter what race. The point is no one before the Jews were given the Sabbath day to keep.

Still, God only gave it to the Israelites. Right? Who before?

Old Covenant memorization keep the letter of the law sin nature learn all the laws break one you break them all death New Covenant repent to receive the Holy Spirit Must be born again divine nature laws are written on our conscience as long as you obey your conscience you are pleasing God live...

I know - I was asking you and Backlit. :D

But why? Did God need to rest physically? No. And no one kept the Sabbath until it was given to the Israelites, 2,500 years after creation, and made it law (by the letter) until the Creator came to earth. I brought this up with QT, because that is the part of the law in the OP that he is most...

QT, you're silly...but that's why I love ya! It's not the law, but what is not understood is the way we are able to keep the law. Either through memorization and by the letter. Or naturally with a new nature. This is why keeping the day of the Sabbath Rest is by the letter ONLY so no longer...

Yes, they don't understand that Paul meant no condemnation when you no longer sin. The desire to sin is gone. And as far as "no condemnation," Paul in chapter 6 said to those who believe like this, 15 What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not! 16 Do you...

No sin nature, but only becoming sinners by nature by doing so naturally. Whatever you do naturally is by your nature. Either sin nature, or born again divine nature.

CONTINUED... The letter of the law was from memorization only, but our flesh struggled. But by the Spirit is done automatically - no struggle, and NO SIN.

Instead of talking about our nature, I will try another description. It has nothing to do with the law itself, but how we are ABLE to keep it, and why. In the OT after the law was given to Moses, a person who was used to doing as they liked before the law, now had laws that were against doing...

The reason why people sin, is because the law uncovered sin in them. They always sinned before the law, but didn't know it until the law.

Jesus doesn't make it hard to have extreme faith. I've had so many miracles, all I have to do is look back at all the faith building miracles, just like the Israelites had. How they fell away is mindbogglingly ignorant of them. Even reading about them should give even you a little. You seem to...
