Sky:>>Your making that up. You are adding to scripture.
Dear Sky, Not so. The following verses are speaking of God:
Job 34:14 If He set His heart upon man, [if] He gather unto Himself His spirit and His breath;
Job 34:15 All flesh shall perish together, and man shall turn again unto dust.
Sky:>>There is no "lost".
Sure there is.
Luk 19:10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
Sky:>>Check what Jesus said
"
When he had received the drink, Jesus said,
"It is finished." With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit."
So no one is lost. Jesus finished His work. All that's left is for you to accept that it is all over.
I agree that Jesus finished His work of Salvation, but He tells us what His work is today.
Jhn 14:2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if [it were] not [so], I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
In order to be "created in God's Image" or born again, it takes the agreement of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, to create a new Christian.
Jhn 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, that He may abide with you for ever;
Please tell us HOW a Christian can be born again Spiritually if God has already rested from ALL of His work of creating.
Sky:<>>That's the work of the Spirit to work on your spirit. The creation part is finished.
ONLY if you add to what is written in Genesis 2:2-3
Sky:>>I could go over the Alpha & Omega passages as well. They all tell us it's over and done.
All that's left is for this corrupted earth to be tossed in the lake and burned.
That could be any day now.
This event WILL soon take place on the present 6th Day for until this is done, God's work will continue.
Sky:>>The first reference is at the end of the Creation week passage. So it is naturally referring to Creation in it's context. Jesus is not. Jesus is referring work of the Spirit in that context.
IF what you say is true, then Jesus ALSO rested in the beginning for Jesus IS God too, and the Holy Spirit also rested from
ALL of His work thousands of years ago. Your theory fails and you cannot support it Scripturally.
I realize that your view is the traditional religious view, but I'm trying to make a point here. Genesis does NOT say what ancient men theorized. My view is an attempt to get you to think Scripturally, instead of listening to ANY man's views, including mine. God bless you.
In Love,
