That is not what Hebrews 4:9 states according to the Greek Manuscripts! Hebrews 4:9 states: "So there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God."
Your only making smoke screens. It is the correct translation from the original Aramaic manuscripts.
HEBREWS 4:9 [9], So then, it remains for the people of God to keep the Sabbath.
Now notice
Hebrews 4,
verse 9: “There remains therefore a SABBATH
rest to the people of God.” In
verses 1,
3,
4 and
8, the Greek word for “rest” is
katapausin. It means “rest.” But in
verse 9, the Greek word for “rest” is
sabbatismos, which is a Hebrew word—
Sabbat, which means “the Sabbath”—combined with a Greek suffix—
ismos, which means “a keeping of” or “a doing of.” which is the VERB of SABBATH which is the descriptive noun. Put together,
sabbatismo means “a keeping of the Sabbath.” which is the verb for doing. When correctly translated,
Hebrews 4:9 should read, “There remains therefore a
keeping of the Sabbath to the people of God.”
Which ever version you wish to use it does not really matter as it points to the same outcome which is there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God. The CONTEXT is God's REST from the SEVENTH DAY SABBATH from creation that GOd BLESSED, set apart and made HOLY *HEBREWS 4:1-5
And, the Truth, the Word, Jesus Christ, God said (Matthew 11:28):"Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest."
HEBREWS 4 is talking about the Gospel rest of BELIEVING and FOLLOWING God's WORD; v29 Learn of me; v30 my burden (doing) is light. This agrees with
Hebrews 4:2 For unto us was the
gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached
did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it. HEBREWS 4:9 is in reference to God's SEVENTH DAY SABBATH REST which is the
CONTEXT shown in HEBREWS 4:1-5. HEBREWS 4 therefore with context added is saying that
no one enter God's Sabbath rest if they do not BELIEVE God's WORD or follow it.
The Truth is clear, Jesus Christ is the rest of we believers in the New Covenant:
No one has any rest in Christ while committing known unrepentant sin *ISAIAH 57:20 just like those in the wilderness that sinned and did not believe and follow God's WORD *HEBREWS 3:6-19
"When He said, 'A new [covenant],' He has made the first obsolete. But whatever is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to disappear." (Hebrews 8:13) Old Covenant keeprs are bound to the Law, God's Word commands not to make a likeness, period. The sentence in Verse 4 is complete. God's Word commands not to worship "them" which can be either "gods" from Verse 2 and/or "idol"s from Verse 4, yet neither Verse 2 nor Verse 4 grammatically depends on Verse 5; therefore,
"Logical Conclusion to Keeping the Old Covenant Law Post" (in this thread) in which a drivers license or some such with a likeness of a person who keeps the Law of the Old Covenant remains logically and lexically correct. This is proven out further by the
"Grammatical Explanation of Exodus 20:2-6 Post for the Logical Conclusion to Keeping the Old Covenant Law Post" (in this thread).
Brother your just repeating yourself here. This has already been addressed with scripture in another post that you did not respond to or you ignored, showing your errors of interpretation. Ignoring God's WORD does not make it disappear.

There is no need for a "challenge" about other gods because the Lord Jesus makes it clear there is only room for the One True God! The Truth commands (Matthew 22:37-40):
"'YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.' This is the great and foremost commandment. The second is like it, 'YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.' On these two commandments rests the whole Law and the Prophets."
So, the Truth commands "LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART"; therefore, a heart saturated with the love of God has no room for other gods nor idols nor vain usage of His Name nor worshipping falsehood.
Soo your point here is about.......????
Now, about keeping the Old Covenant 7th day sabbath, or more appropriately not needing to keep the 7th day sabbath of the Old Covenant, God's Word in
The Lord Jesus Commands and Defends Work by People on the Old Covenant Sabbath Post is quite clear that we believers in the New Covenant are not bound to keep the 7th day sabbath as recorded in the Old Covenant. We believers in the New Covenant have our rest in the Lord Jesus Christ. Praise be to the Lord Jesus Christ!
We are in the NEW COVENANT now not the OLD COVENANT. According to God's WORD in the NEW COVENANT all those who CONTINUE in KNOWN UNREPENTANT SIN will not enter into the KINGDOM of HEAVEN *
HEBREWS 10:26-27 because they reject the gift of God's dear son *
ROMANS 6:23. OBEDIENCE to God's LAW is not how we are saved it is the FRUIT of God's work in us as we BELIEVE and FOLLOW his WORD through love. If our faith has no fruit it is dead *
JAMES 2:18-20; 26 and our tree will be cast down and thrown into the fire *
MATTHEW 3:10; 7:19-20; 13:49-50. Accoding to God's WORD, no one is a NEW COVENANT BELIEVER while knowingly breaking any one of God's 10 commandments. According to God's WORD in the NEW COVENANT those who say they know God while breaking any one of God's 10 commandments has neither seen God or knows God *1 JOHN 2:3-4
Either your bible or your words try to change the meaning of scripture with your very first quote in your post. Trying to alter scripture is the attempted corruption of scripture, and this goes right back to
"God's Word Disagrees With Your Use Of The Word 'Love' As Well As Your Acts Of Adding To And Subtracting From Scripture Post" (in this thread) and
"Follow-up about God's Word Disagrees With You Post".
This has already been addressed with scripture in another post that you did not respond to or you ignored, showing your errors of interpretation. Ignoring God's WORD does not make it disappear.

Listen to Truth:
"Exclusively Scripture With Bible Citations About the New Covenant Post" (in this thread) "Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to satisfy." (Matthew 5:17) "For the Law, since it has [only] a shadow of the good things to come [and] not the very form of things" (Hebrews 10:1) "And in the same way [He took] the cup after they had eaten, saying, 'This cup which is poured out for you is the new covenant in My blood.'" (Luke 22:20) "When He said, 'A new [covenant],' He has made the first obsolete. But whatever is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to disappear." (Hebrews 8:13)
