fulfilled in Him does NOT mean suspended, abrogated, destroyed...... I commented that SDAs have focused much energy on the 4th commandment which is deserved but have neglected not only festivals the His calendar and showtimes for His sanctuary but have also neglected the other commandments 1,2,3 which you did not think was true...and claimed ALL of God’s commandments are important just God’s 4th has been neglected...I then attempted to share with you that by calling it God’s commandments and NOT Yah’s commandments you neglect the 3rd...And SDA’s finally submitting to the Trinity then are in violation to the 2nd....
I will just make a few comments here before finishing otherwise it only becomes repetition as I have already provided the scriptures so will leave those with you for consideration.
When using the term "
Fulfilled in Christ" the term was used only to point out that the feasts are all shadow prophecies that point to the Messiah (JESUS) as the true sacrifice for sin and his work and ministration on our behalf under the new covenant (see Hebrews 7; Hebrews 8; Hebrews 9; Hebrews 10; Ephesians 2; Colossians 2). John the Baptist says it at the beginning of the ministration of JESUS when he says not once but twice "BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD THE TAKES AWAY THE SINS OF THE WORLD" John 1:29; John 1:36 (too many scriptures already provided from the previous posts so no need to post any more here).
The ending of the shadow laws in the feast days were prophesied in the old covenant scriptures in Hosea and Isaiah here...
Hosea 2:11 [11], I will also cause all her mirth to
CEASE, HER [ISRAEL'S] FEAST DAYS, her NEW MOONS, and HER SABBATHS, and
all HER [ISRAELS] SOLEMN FEASTS.
Isaiah 1:10-14 [10] Hear the word of the LORD, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.[11] To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the LORD:
I AM FULL OF THE BURNT OFFERINGS of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats.[12] When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts?[13] BRING NO MORE VAIN OBLATIONS; incense is an abomination unto me;
THE NEW MOONS AND SABBATHS, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.[14] Your
NEW MOONS and your
APPOINTED FEASTS my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them.
Brings us to the new that fulfills the shadows of things to come....
Hebrews 10:1-19
[1] For
THE LAW HAVING A SHADOW of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never
WITH THOSE SACRIFICES WHICH THEY OFFERED YEAR BY YEAR continually make the comers thereunto perfect.
[2] For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshipers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins.
[3] But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year [Day of Atonement] *
Leviticus 23:27-32.
[4] For
IT IS NOT POSSIBLE THAT THE BLOOD OF BULLS AND OF GOATS SHOULD TAKE AWAY SINS.
[5], Therefore when he comes into the world, he says,
SACRIFICES AND OFFERINGS YOU DESIRED NOT, BUT A BODY YOU HAVE PREPARED FOR ME:
[6], In
BURNT OFFERINGS AND SACRIFICES FOR SIN you have had no pleasure.
[7], Then said I, Lo,
I COME IN THE VOLUME OF THE BOOK IT IS WRITTEN OF ME, to do your will, O God.
NOTE: What are the Shadow laws of the OLD COVENANT? IT is those from the MOSAIC BOOK OF THE COVENANT v7 is a reference to...
Exodus 24:7 [7], And he took the BOOK OF THE COVENANT, and read in the audience of the people: and they said, All that the LORD has said will we do, and be obedient.
Deuteronomy 29:21 [21], And the LORD shall separate him to evil out of all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the COVENANT THAT ARE WRITTEN IN THIS BOOK OF THE LAW.
Deuteronomy 31:26 [26], Take this BOOK OF THE LAW, and put it in the SIDE OF THE ARK OF THE COVENANT of the LORD your God, that it may be there for a witness against you.
2 Kings 23:2 [2], And the king went up into the house of the LORD, and all the men of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the people, both small and great: and HE READ IN THEIR EARS ALL THE WORDS OF THE BOOK OF THE COVENANT which was found in the house of the LORD.
2 Kings 23:3 [3], And the king stood by a pillar, and made a covenant before the LORD, to walk after the LORD, and to keep his commandments and his testimonies and his statutes with all their heart and all their soul, TO PERFORM THE WORDS OF THIS COVENANT THAT WERE WRITTEN IN THIS BOOK. And all the people stood to the covenant.
2 Kings 23:21 [21], And the king commanded all the people, saying, KEEP THE PASSOVER OF THE LORD your God, AS IT IS WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF THIS COVENANT.
Continuing..
[8], Above when he said, SACRIFICES AND OFFERINGS AND BURNT OFFERINGS AND OFFERINGS FOR SIN YOU DESIRED NOT, neither had pleasure in them;
WHICH ARE OFFERED BY THE LAW;
NOTE: We are talking about the BOOK of the LAW *DEUTERONOMY 31:26 not God's 10 COMMANDMENTS in this chapter as again outlined in HEBREWS 10:7-8 above
[9], Then said he, LO I COME TO DO YOUR WILL O GOD. HE TAKES AWAY THE FIRST, THAT HE MIGHT ESTABLISH THE SECOND
NOTE: NEW COVENANT NO MORE ANIMAL SACRIFICES from the MOSAIC BOOK OF THE LAW
[10], By the which will we are sanctified through THE OFFERING OF THE BODY OF JESUS ONCE AND FOR ALL.
[11], And every priest stands daily ministering and offering frequently the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:
[12], BUT THIS MAN, AFTER HE HAD OFFERED ONE SACRIFICE FOR SINS FOREVER, sat down on the right hand of God;
[13], From then on waiting till his enemies be made his footstool.
[14], For by one offering he has perfected forever them that are sanctified.
[15], The Holy Spirit also is a witness to us: for after this he had said before,
[16], THIS IS THE COVENANT THAT I WILL MAKE WITH THEM AFTER THOSE DAYS, SAYS THE LORD, I WILL PUT MY LAWS INTO THEIR HEARTS AND MINDS WILL I WRITE THEM;
[17], And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.
[18], Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.
[19], Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,
NOTE: The NEW COVENANT is NO MORE SHADOW LAWS and animal sacrifices from the MOSAIC BOOK OF THE COVENANT (Exodus 24:7) God's LAW is to be written in a NEW HEART TO LOVE * ROMANS 13:8-10.
Time to leave the shadows. They are fulfilled in Christ.
Whose blessing? From which of the many worshipped?
What kind of question is that? Who else? Of course only the one true God of ISRAEL of the old and new covenants. My God has many names. What do you want to call him? Will you describe God with a name? A name is only a description. Can you describe God? A name is nothing with God and that is why he has too many names. What single name will you call God to describe who He is?
Will it be....
EH-YEH [haw-yaw]: “I AM THAT I AM” (Exodus 3:14) The self existent one. Jesus claiming the title (John 8:58) εἰμί eimi meaning “I EXIST”
EL, ELOAH [el, el-
oh-ah]: God "mighty, strong, prominent" (
Nehemiah 9:17;
Psalm 139:19) – etymologically,
El appears to mean “power” and “might” (
Genesis 31:29).
El is associated with other qualities, such as integrity (
Numbers 23:19), jealousy (
Deuteronomy 5:9), and compassion (
Nehemiah 9:31), but the root idea of “might” remains.
ELOHIM [el-oh-
heem]: God “Creator, Mighty and Strong” (
Genesis 17:7;
Jeremiah 31:33) – the plural form of
Eloah, which accommodates the doctrine of the Trinity. From the Bible’s first sentence, the superlative nature of God’s power is evident as God (Elohim) speaks the world into existence (
Genesis 1:1).
EL SHADDAI [el-shah-
dahy]: “God Almighty,” “The Mighty One of Jacob” (
Genesis 49:24;

nahy]: “Lord” (
Genesis 15:2;

Adonai is used more when He deals with the Gentiles.
YHWH / YAHWEH / JEHOVAH [
yah-way / ji-
hoh-veh]: “LORD” (
Deuteronomy 6:4;
Daniel 9:14) – strictly speaking, the only proper name for God. Translated in English Bibles “LORD” (all capitals) to distinguish it from
Adonai, “Lord.” The revelation of the name is first given to Moses “I Am who I Am” (
Exodus 3:14). This name specifies an immediacy, a presence. Yahweh is present, accessible, near to those who call on Him for deliverance (
Psalm 107:13), forgiveness (
Psalm 25:11) and guidance (
Psalm 31:3).
YAHWEH-JIREH [
yah-way-
ji-reh]: "The Lord Will Provide" (
Genesis 22:14) – the name memorialized by Abraham when God provided the ram to be sacrificed in place of Isaac.
YAHWEH-RAPHA [
yah-way-raw-
faw]: "The Lord Who Heals" (

YAHWEH-NISSI [
yah-way-nee-
see]: "The Lord Our Banner" (
Exodus 17:15), where
banner is understood to be a rallying place. This name commemorates the desert victory over the Amalekites in
Exodus 17.
YAHWEH-M'KADDESH [
yah-way-meh-
kad-esh]: "The Lord Who Sanctifies, Makes Holy" (

YAHWEH-SHALOM [
yah-way-shah-lohm]: "The Lord Our Peace" (
Judges 6:24) – the name given by Gideon to the altar he built after the Angel of the Lord assured him he would not die as he thought he would after seeing Him.
YAHWEH-ELOHIM [
yah-way-el-oh-
him]: "LORD God" (
Genesis 2:4;
Psalm 59:5) – a combination of God’s unique name YHWH and the generic “Lord,” signifying that He is the Lord of Lords.
YAHWEH-TSIDKENU [
yah-way-tzid-
kay-noo]: "The Lord Our Righteousness” (
Jeremiah 33:16) – As with YHWH-M’Kaddesh, it is God alone who provides righteousness (from the Hebrew word
tsidkenu) to man, ultimately in the person of His Son, Jesus Christ, who became sin for us “that we might become the Righteousness of God in Him” (
2 Corinthians 5:21).
YAHWEH-ROHI [
yah-way-roh-
hee]: "The Lord Our Shepherd" (
Psalm 23:1) – After David pondered his relationship as a shepherd to his sheep, he realized that was exactly the relationship God had with him, and so he declares, “Yahweh-Rohi is my Shepherd. I shall not want” (
Psalm 23:1).
YAHWEH-SHAMMAH [
yah-way-sham-
mahw]: "The Lord Is There” (
Ezekiel 48:35) – the name ascribed to Jerusalem and the Temple there, indicating that the once-departed glory of the Lord (
Ezekiel 8—11) had returned (
Ezekiel 44:1-4).
YAHWEH-SABAOTH [
yah-way-sah-bah-
ohth]: "The Lord of Hosts" (
Isaiah 1:24;
Psalm 46:7) –
Hosts means “hordes,” both of angels and of men. He is Lord of the host of heaven and of the inhabitants of the earth, of Jews and Gentiles, of rich and poor, master and slave. The name is expressive of the majesty, power, and authority of God and shows that He is able to accomplish what He determines to do.
EL ELYON [el-el-
yohn]: “Most High" (
Deuteronomy 26:19) – derived from the Hebrew root for “go up” or “ascend,” so the implication is of that which is the very highest.
El Elyon denotes exaltation and speaks of absolute right to lordship.
EL ROI [el-roh-
ee]: "God of Seeing" (
Genesis 16:13) – the name ascribed to God by Hagar, alone and desperate in the wilderness after being driven out by Sarah (
Genesis 16:1-14). When Hagar met the Angel of the Lord, she realized she had seen God Himself in a theophany. She also realized that
El Roi saw her in her distress and testified that He is a God who lives and sees all.
EL-OLAM [el-oh-
lahm]: "Everlasting God" (
Psalm 90:1-3) – God’s nature is without beginning or end, free from all constraints of time, and He contains within Himself the very cause of time itself. “From everlasting to everlasting, You are God.”
EL-GIBHOR [el-ghee-
bohr]: “Mighty God” (
Isaiah 9:6) – the name describing the Messiah, Christ Jesus, in this prophetic portion of Isaiah. As a powerful and mighty warrior, the Messiah, the Mighty God, will accomplish the destruction of God’s enemies and rule with a rod of iron (
Revelation 19:15).
Choose any one of them. My God has many names and he is the God of the old and new testament. The Alpha and the Omega, the begging and the end. So as shown above your claims in regards to SDA's do not hold any substance to me. Only God's Word is true and we should believe and follow it.
................
There is no such thing as "
replacement theology" as God's ISRAEL in the new covenant according to the scriptures are all those who believe and follow God's Word *Romans 9:6-8. There is no JEW or Gentile believer as all are one in Christ *Galatians 3:28-29. If you are not a part of God's ISRAEL, then you have no part in God's new covenant promise *Hebrews 8:10-12. Gentile believers are now grafted in *Romans 11:13-27. Well the rest of your post is simply claims unsupported by the scriptures so we will leave it here for now.
I wish you well.
