So the sinners don't keep God's Sabbath.. big deal.
I've heard the secular say from time to time. "No rest for the wicked." They are exactly right. They have no rights to God's Sabbath-rest.
So, are you a sinner that you don't want to exercise your covenant rights by keeping the Sabbath? .. I didn't say, keeping it legalistically.
All you are doing is trying to stir the pot. Your post is a bunch of bologna from the first sentence to the last.
Observing the Sabbath-rest is a covenant right, not a bondage. Keeping the law of God is keeping the enlightening teachings of God. The word 'law' is not to incite rebellion. It's indicative of spiritual law for our advantage. A law is indicative of having rights.
But there are those who've made it into bondage, ain't that a shame? For the Christian under grace.. all covenant rights come to us through Jesus Christ.
Your arguments prove less than nothing because you don't even use scripture support for your arguments.
A repeat of your previous argument that gains nothing by repetition.
That makes no sense whatsoever because there's no halo around any of the scriptures that we are commanded by God or Jesus to obey.
God told Moses to write it down. In Hebrew it's clearly there in Genesis 2:2-3. In the English translation that uses "rested".. no one therefore thought that the word Sabbath was there.
Too bad that Christian's who use the Bible to argue, don't actually fact check the original Hebrew.
That is the verse I'm talking about.
If the command was given only to Israel then why did the apostle Paul teach about it to the Gentiles? Was it just to tell them something that they didn't have to obey?
I'm not legalistic about observing the Sabbath because I'm a Gentile. I avail myself of what the apostle Paul taught in Col.2:16-17
Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ.
so I have my work to do but I also get my rest everyday.
But I don't see any biblical authority that tells us that Gentiles can ignore the observance of the Sabbath's influence just by saying that it's only for Israel/Jews. Nonsense.
What do you think that Jesus was talking about when he said "All you who are weary and heavy laden come unto Me and I will give you rest." (Mat.11:28)
Or was Jesus only offering that to Israel/Jews so it's not for the Gentiles? Or is it somehow independent of Sabbath/rest because it was Jesus who said it, the author of salvation to the Gentiles?
These verses say that it's for all who are under grace, not under law,
Hebrews 4:1,3-5,2,8,10
Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.
3 For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
4 For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.
5 Seeing therefore it remains that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief.
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.
8 For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later (or still) about a day of rest.
9 Therefore, a Sabbath rest remains for God's people. (the Jews already observe the Sabbath, so who else can be identified as God's people?.. those through Jesus Christ)
10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.
Observing this rest assures that we are not resting as a legalistic deed to display our faith, but receiving and enjoying a grace from God by faith.
