His rest remains from before the foundation of the earth. Not just from the time of David, or from the seventh day of creation - it remains from before time began. “Today” means as long as this ‘time’ we are in exists. It is transcendent of human life span, or times and seasons of the earth...

Hebrews is referring to different things in that passage. It can often get lost in translation because the writer is dealing with the seventh day of creation while just mentioning the fact that God ‘rested’ from His work even before ‘resting’ on that day. God finished His work(plan) of...

I am not sure if you have ever really stopped to think about the Bible? It is a book that was compiled by man. Does that mean it is not true? No. I believe it is. However, that does not mean God said it was the only way He would ever communicate with us. Never has been - never will be...

As has been pointed out already, being a “Christian” is not equivalent to being eternally secure and saved. Faith is the only thing that is eternal that we posses. Everything is Gods doing - Faith knows this. To understand Salvation you have to understand why it is we need Salvation. When...

The Sabbath was never a day about worship, it was a day about rest. ;) Worshiping God on Saturday or Sunday has nothing to do with the Sabbath even if some want to make it such.

I've been out for a week and saw this yesterday. Pardon me if I duplicate someone else's post. I have read some and I see the typical arguments back and forth. Please forgive the long post. I come from a slightly different perspective. I once struggled with things like this. Thinking I was...

@Studyman you do know there were animal sacrifices that had nothing to do with sin right?

There still is no commandment. Sure, it is implied, but there is no commandment specifically dealing with animal sacrifices. Thinking you are justified by the law does not exclude the 10 commandments. They are included in the law. So that passage you quoted includes those who think they are...

@Studyman let me ask you a question. Do you feel it is unloving to meet with others on Sunday instead of meeting with them on Saturday?

And here is a perfect example of completely missing a post. lol :) Seriously, it was a direct response to imge's post, so context is quite a bit. I know why the animal sacrifices were instituted and know why they are not anymore. You do realize that the 'books' of the Bible, chapter, verse...

So lets try this, not sure if it will work so good, but I copied/pasted your whole post. I bolded/underlined your 'response' in which you say you list two rests, but you include two "and". So with those two "and", you do not just list two rests. Plus, you have a "1." but no "2." See how it...

Yea, so, that is totally not what I posted. Lol I’m thinking you do not read my posts. Regardless, no, you are not correct on the rests. You got one kinda right, but you add a bunch to it that is not there. Maybe it’s a language barrier between us? Do you use a translating program?

Actually, the two rests spoken of are; 1. The rest from works that He finished before the foundation of the World. 2. The rest of creating that He had on the 7th day of creation. These two are different. The first rest is the rest we have in Christ, that is the work He finished before the...

What about all the other Sabbaths mentioned in the law? They are Sabbaths also. The seventh day of the week is when God wanted Israel to remember His Sabbath - the day He rested. I am sorry you cannot see the plain truth of it. The commandment stands though. I hope one day you will see it...

Well, you are getting close. :) Think about what you just wrote for a minute. The weekly Sabbath is a memorial of the Sabbath day God rested and made holy. So you can see that it is not the same. A memorial is not the same thing as it is memorializing. The 4th commandment is specific to...
