    What is Christ's rest?

    Hi Clare73, Consider the following passages: Matthew 24:1–2; Mark 13:1–2; Luke 21:5–6 "Do you see all these things? ... Truly I tell you, not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down." The Temple in Jerusalem was the center of the sacrificial system. By...

    What is Christ's rest?

    Hi Clare73, A covenant is simply an agreement. It was the agreement that was faulty, not what was agreed upon. "God found fault with the people ... because they did not remain faithful to [the] covenant." God didn't find fault with His perfect law. Christ rested on the Sabbath and He never...

    Why we are not supposed to keep the Sabbath

    Your assertion that the opening post says anything about staying on topic. Ironic that you can't seem to stay focused on any topic. To which I replied: Just to be clear, the opening post makes no request "that we stick closely to the opening post." You've made that assertion twice. Why are...

    Why we are not supposed to keep the Sabbath

    Hi Leaf473, This is the second time you've made the claim about the opening post. I have a question: have you read the opening post? You might want to do so since your assertions aren't based in reality. God bless! But for the grace of God go I,cyspark

    Why we are not supposed to keep the Sabbath

    Hi trophy33, It appears to me that the "order ... and focus" you seek are only relevant if someone agrees with your opening post. Your opening post posits three premises. What it doesn't do is provide any evidence to prop them up. It appears to be an appeal to authority, and this is a logical...

    Why we are not supposed to keep the Sabbath

    Hi Leaf473, I'm sorry. For some reason I was thinking when I asked you to tell me more about your statement: Here we see God ending the Sabbath, but I don't think he is ending the Sabbath commandment And you responded with: Sure, and thanks for asking :heart: My conclusion—based on the...

    Why we are not supposed to keep the Sabbath

    Hi Leaf473, That didn't answer my question. I asked, "What do you mean when you say God is 'ending the Sabbath," but not "ending the Sabbath commandment'?" God bless! But for the grace of God go I,cyspark

    Why we are not supposed to keep the Sabbath

    Hi trophy33, This is weird. It seems like you're attempting to embrace Christianity, while at the same time keeping it at arm's length. Why do you want to ignore Bible texts which refute your theistic evolutionary beliefs? That's not a good tactic if you're really wanting to understand truth...

    Why we are not supposed to keep the Sabbath

    Hi Leaf473, Tell me more. What do you mean when you say God is "ending the Sabbath," but not "ending the Sabbath commandment"? But for the grace of God go I,cyspark

    Why we are not supposed to keep the Sabbath

    Hi trophy33, To be fair, your supplied premises did not reveal anything on which they were based. So my "straw men" were developed based on your vacuum of information. What I'm noticing about your responses to my rebuttal as well as that of others is that you are continuing in this vacuum. You...

    Why we are not supposed to keep the Sabbath

    Hi SabbathBlessings, Here's another text I thought of which seems relevant here: 2 Peter 3:5 But they deliberately forget that long ago by God’s word the heavens came into being and the earth was formed out of water and by water. How convenient is that? The creation event doesn't align with...

    Why we are not supposed to keep the Sabbath

    Hi trophy33, Your premises are flawed, which is leading you to false conclusions. This first premise is building on your third premise, which assumes that the creation account is a lie. Jesus taught a literal creation and said, "from the beginning of the creation, God 'made them male and...

    Denying Jesus

    Hi DamianWarS, Hmm. Then why are you using Muslim terminology for identifying Jesus? But for the grace of God go I,cyspark
