If people do indeed work to restore the internet on Sabbath, that is their choice. I do not require them to work to restore it. For all I care, they can let it sit broken until Sabbath ends, then fix it. If I walk on an old sidewalk on Sabbath and the city decides to repair that sidewalk on a Sabbath, that is their choice. I did not ask them to fix it on the Sabbath. Is your hand getting tired from straining out so many gnats? Yet, you have no problem swallowing the camel of trampling on the 7th day.When the internet goes down......people are working to get you reconnected. That means people have to be available to work on the sabbath.
David and the priests had valid reasons for profaning the Sabbath. Nadab and Abihu did not. The Temple had absolutely nothing to do with it.I reckon you have to ask Him as to where the altar of incense was in the Temple. Some say it was in the Holy of Holies. Others say not. I do not know if that has anything to do with it as to where they were sinning in that Temple, but Jesus did say that they were profaning the sabbath in those 2 references to the O.T. but they were guiltless because of being in the Temple and then Jesus said One greater than the Temple was here in regards to His defending His disciples.
That is your opinion. Yeshua gives me a spiritual rest and the Sabbath gives me a physical rest.Jesus is glorified as Lord of the Sabbath for a reason. Satan has deceived sabbath day keepers into working to keep the sabbath day rather than rest in Him from working to keep the sabbath day.
Am I finishing by the flesh when I obey the other nine of the Ten Commandments? No. My spiritual mind subjects itself to the laws of YHWH (Romans 8:7).You may not be doing it for salvation, but you are in reality, trying to finish by the flesh what was begun in the Spirit.
Galatians 2:18 For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor. 19 For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God. 20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. 21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain........3:1O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you? 2 This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? 3 Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh? 4 Have ye suffered so many things in vain? if it be yet in vain.
So how can you say you are not trying to finish by the flesh what was begun in the Spirit when you are giving the appearance of it to the Jews and the world?
You are the one that keeps turning this into a salvation or justification issue. Not me.James's faith without works can never be applied to salvation for it is without works.
What does how the Jews view Christians have to do with how lawlessness is used in some Bibles? The KJV, which I use most of the time, does not use the word "lawlessness", but "iniquity". The Greek word is "anomia" (without law). Thayer's definition is;I suggest you use the KJV for all those verses that your teachers have taught you for obeying in keeping the sabbath day. You may be surprise.
You can compare your Bible version verses with the KJV at Bible Gateway. There is a brown symbol of what looks like 2 combs back to back in a row of brown symbols in the gray tab above the reading of the verses for Galatians 3rd chapter that you can click on to pop up a window for you to scroll down in search of your Bible version and then click on it to pop up beside it for comparing with the KJV.
Bible Gateway passage: Galatians 3 - King James Version
Compare all verses in your version that uses the term "lawlessness" or to that effect to how the KJV uses it.
1) the condition of without law
1a) because ignorant of it
1b) because of violating it
2) contempt and violation of law, iniquity, wickedness
Strong's definition is;
illegality, that is, violation of law or (generally) wickedness
Are you also dead to the law of not committing adultery, murder, thefts, etc.? Yes, yet you still must obey those laws. We should not live in adulterous relationships if we are in Messiah. We also should not live a lifestyle of Sabbath breaking if we are in Messiah. You really need to stop harping on righteousness and salvation regarding Sabbath keeping since the great majority of Sabbath keepers do not trust in Sabbath keeping to save them or make them righteous. Those are just your false accusations. There may very well be a few that have that mindset, but then again, there are some Christians that have the mindset that they will be saved or made righteous by other kinds of works like feeding the poor, or caring for orphans, etc.I am dead to the law of keeping the sabbath day as it is Christ Who lives in me. I am dead to sin to no longer live in sin as living as His disciple. To keep the sabbath day is hardly resting in the Lord Jesus Christ nor is it recognizing His righteousness apart from the law that is bringing me Home as saved which is the testimony as a witness of Him is to be in bringing Him glory in Heaven for.
