    Did the early church worship on Sabbath?

    Brother, it was recognized, not established. It already existed before the British tried to steal the spotlight on the dateline of God's prime meridian that came from the beginning. The British managed to shift the dateline slightly because few people live nearby, to protest the change in the...

    Did the early church worship on Sabbath?

    Brother, happy Sabbath! It begins this Friday, May 2, 2025, at 12:48 p.m. EDT. The International Dateline is the oldest tradition known to mankind, started by God with Adam and Eve. God taught them to count the days of the week to remember the Sabbath. Judaism rejects the location of the...

    What is Christ's rest?

    Brother, no, I don't claim to know the mind of God. I'm referring to the importance of that part in the context of Paul replacing the "letters etched in stone" with Jesus as the Spirit, and I'm not speaking about the purpose of that part outside of this context. You seem reluctant to separate...

    What is Christ's rest?

    Brother, no, because it was not part of the "letters etched in stone." The purpose of this portion is to show the importance God placed on obedience to the fifth commandment under His own nation. However, Judaism disobeyed Him by adding its own human traditions that nullified what God had said...

    What is Christ's rest?

    Brother, this is how Jesus circumcised us of the sin in Judaism. When you came to Christ, you were “circumcised,” but not by a physical procedure/human hands. Christ performed a spiritual circumcision—the cutting away of your sinful nature. For you were buried with Christ when you were...

    What is Christ's rest?

    Brother, Jesus replaces the Ten Commandments as described in the following passage, where the fifth commandment is more fully obeyed after Jesus by circumcising us of the disobedience in Judaism. The problem lies in human reception of the Ten Commandments, not in the Ten Commandments themselves...

    What is Christ's rest?

    Brother, under the new covenant, the Spirit (Jesus) replaces only the Ten Commandments and no other laws. That's Paul's original message below! Now, you are referring to the Old Covenant when I refer to what Paul says about the New Covenant, where the Spirit (Jesus) replaces the Ten...

    What is Christ's rest?

    Brother, my own translation of Hebrews 4 is the NLT. They did a faithful job translating a message they themselves don't obey. I'm sure all translators are against Sabbath-keeping, which is the message they faithfully translated. God’s promise of entering his rest still stands, so we ought to...

    What is Christ's rest?

    Brother, according to Paul, in the following passage, Jesus, as the Spirit, only replaces the letters etched in stone, the Ten Commandments, and no other law than the Ten Commandments as the only letters etched in stone. Translators have given the impression that he is referring to more than the...

    What is Christ's rest?

    Brother, it means that God does not change and that what He expected from the Jews He equally expects from us: obedience to the Ten Commandments, which includes obedience to the corrected "day" for the Sabbath in Hebrews chapter 4. This is what the LORD says: “Stop at the crossroads and look...

    What is Christ's rest?

    Brother, I have provided my own translation of the following passage because the "evening" that ends the Sabbath in Jerusalem is part of Saturday, as shown, where God uses a misunderstood expression: "the first of the Sabbaths." This expression refers to the seventh day of creation week we call...

    What is Christ's rest?

    Brother, they all come from uninspired translators. The only guaranteed message is the one given by the prophets in the original language. I remember learning that the Textus Receptus used for the King James Version did not contain all the necessary original Greek manuscripts, and that the Latin...

    What is Christ's rest?

    Brother, that translation is dishonest, for it imposes the same message against context as the King James Version by inserting Jesus before David in Hebrews chapter 4, while dishonestly removing the evidence the KJV left to show how they twisted the message. They insert Jesus against context, as...

    What is Christ's rest?

    Brother, Paul tells us in context which Spirit can bear witness with our spirit that we are children of God in the following passage: the “Spirit” of Christ living in you, different from the Holy Spirit forced by the translators by adding the word holy before the word Spirit in the following...

    What is Christ's rest?

    Brother, which Spirit does Paul tell us is able to bear witness to our spirit that we are children of God? There are three Spirits in the following passage. Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. Therefore, go and make disciples of all the...

    What is Christ's rest?

    Brother, there is a great difference between whether Paul's use of the word "Spirit" in context refers to Jesus or the Holy Spirit, because one is a model for us in the flesh, to reflect Him as in a mirror, and the other is not a model because He is invisible and is confused with our own...

    What is Christ's rest?

    Brother, you have a misunderstanding about the Spirit bearing witness with your spirit that you are a child of God. Again, the translators added the word "Holy" before "Spirit," forcing a message not found in the original, where the Spirit mentioned refers to Jesus as our model of obedience to...

    What is Christ's rest?

    Brother, Paul elevates the Ten Commandments, not eliminates them, when he tells us that there is a greater glory in Jesus' exemplary obedience than that obtainable through the "letters etched in stone." There is a false rest in thinking you can continue sinning by disobeying the Sabbath in...

    What is Christ's rest?

    Brother, not so! There is the special case of when you first believed, where you do not have to do any work for your forgiveness, because God attributes your having believed as having worked, without needing to go to the temple. David is an example of this special case where, because he believed...

    What is Christ's rest?

    Brother, that's not possible! No other biblical truth has greater confirmation in all Scripture without contradiction. This truth destroys your conviction that we don't have to obey the Ten Commandments, an error which forces you to distort many scriptures that contradict that belief in order...
