Wow you’re so desperate grasping at straws that you’re going to say that this verse is referring to the sabbath?
When God says then I took them out of Egypt and gave them My ordinances and statutes and I gave them My sabbath that’s pretty much dealing the deal on when that took place.
No, that’s Ellen White stuck in your head that’s NOT what God said at all.
The word rest in this verse
Addressed to many times to count. That’s Nehemiah reviewing history, he doesn’t say thats when it first started, it’s a figure of speech, Nehemiah was not speaking over God. God instituted the Sabbath at Creation, thus saith the Lord Exo20:11 why we see the Sabbath being kept before Mt SInai.
But in the context Moses was asking Pharaoh to let the Israelites go into the wilderness for 3 days to offer sacrifices. There’s no mention of the sabbath you’re just trying to shoehorn it into the passage much like Roman Catholics do with purgatory every time a fire is mentioned in a passage.
Yeah just ignore the fact that in their disobedience before the exodus God doesn’t mention them not keeping the sabbath, that only becomes a problem after their exodus after He gave them the sabbath but you’ll completely ignore that because of what Ellen G White said, not because of what the scriptures say.
He MADE KNOWN TO THEM, obviously this means that they didn’t know about it previously.
I already showed you what the word means, and yes in the context it does make sense one of the reasons why Pharoah was opposed to it.
They were made known about the Sabbath before Mt Sinai as shown by Scripture, so obviously your interpretation of what this means does not match to actual historical events.
I’m guessing that brother Bob’s silence is an indication that he can’t find anymore commandments from the Decalogue that aren’t mentioned before Exodus 20, except of course the 4th commandment.
They disobeyed more than the Sabbath but God singled out as the specific reason why they could not enter the promised land was over breaking the Sabbath. The bible doesn;t have to repeat itself and define everything in every sentence and in every chapter, that's not how the bible works. It will interpret itself if we allow it to. The Bible is not written in chronological order.
Like I said exodus 16 wasn’t the same commandment, they weren’t told not to do any work they were only given instructions on collecting manna.
Well Jesus said it was and that's where my faith lies. The Sabbath is not collecting or not collecting manna. There are not two different seventh day Sabbaths in Scriptures Exo16:26, just one and its one of God's commandments, that God blessed and sanctified from Creation thus saith the Lord.
You’re quoting Exodus 20 which was after their exodus and after the sabbath commandment had been given. I’m talking about before the exodus when God rebuked them for their disobedience and worshipping idols. He doesn’t mention anything about them not keeping the sabbath because it hadn’t been given to them yet.
God said when the Sabbath started Exo20:11 Jesus said who He made it for. Mark2:27 Isa56:6
Then, according to your post, Jesus told a lie?????
Nope He quotes Lev 19 and Deut 6 perfectly.
As in "Love your neighbor as yourself"
yep... sounds like "Love your neighbor as yourself"
Yep. sounds like "Love your neighbor as yourself".
