The Epistle of Barnabas didn't rewrite scripture. It IS scripture. When you read Hebrews 4 you are left wondering what exactly "entering into God's rest" means. It also compares it to the Sabbath. But Paul also said it wasn't their entering into the Promised Land, so seeing as the children of...

By whom?

By test, do you mean by tempting someone to do wrong? It's not clear. James 1:13-15 13 Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone. 14 But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed...

I agree with you. But in reading the missing canonical book from our present canon, The Epistle of Barnabas, my understanding widened. Entering into God's rest is entering into eternity, not just rest from dead works, which as you say, is by believing in Jesus. It is salvation. Barnabas 15:8...

Using Catholicism, and the false doctrines of the Reformationists to prove me wrong, after all the times I've said I'm not one of them nor hold them in regard, is a waste of time. That would be like holding up Hitler as a role model for separation of Christianity from the world. But you keep...

Yes, I know that much of what I say seems to go over your head...:(

Hebrews 4 shows that the 7th day of Creation was a foreshadow of entering into God's rest. SDA says this is speaking of keeping the Sabbath, but it is not. It is entering into salvation - eternal life, which is only by believing on the name of His Son Jesus Christ. Jesus is the focal point of...

Right, we are not saved one day a week. We've entered into God's rest which is everyday into eternity.

No, not at all. They can't claim something that was already instituted at Pentecost. That would be like me falling out of bed and claiming I discovered gravity!

I agree with everything you wrote, I would just like to add to this point, specifically about the Sabbath. The Sabbath was created at the beginning, and was a foreshadow of entering into God's rest. Hebrews 4. That rest is not a day of the week, but while under a tutor was kept as one until it...

Do you have a scripture text for that "sunset clause"

Okay. But it could free you.

You are right. However, you still don't believe the New Covenant is in place of the Old Covenant. You're still preaching the Old Covenant.

I have said over and over there are ETERNAL LAWS OF GOD. The Ten Commandments were fashioned like them. It is like the difference between man and God. We are fashioned in the likeness of God, but are not God. Man has a carnal nature and cannot be like God no matter how many rules we have. God...

I don't know what the key of David could be, except it probably has something to do with Jesus, an heir of David.

I'll leave it to @Episkopos to start a new thread on this in the forum Bible Study, please (so I'll get an alert)

"that Sabbath day" refers to the Millennium, patterned after creation week. 6 days/6000 years are appointed to man, and the 7th day/1000 year is the Millennium. And then there is the 8th day which has no end - eternity, which is why we celebrate Sunday because of all it represents. Barnabas...

The commandments written on the heart of a believer are the eternal laws of God, that the Ten Commandments are loosely based on. Our New Covenant commandments will save us. They are to "believe on the name of His Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another. 1 John 3:23.

Being an Adventist you believe it is the Old Covenant commandments that are written on our hearts. No, the eternal laws of love, that the Ten Commandments are based on, but couldn't fulfill are the laws written on our hearts. It was their custom to teach on the Sabbaths as that is when the...

I saw "AND" so I'll go check. Besides, Grace would like us to not highjack this thread.
