rest

The spiritual rest that Jesus supplies doesn't overturn the physical rest which He also supplies in His once a week Sabbath rest. Compare the following two passages and consider the three color-coded elements and then see if you can answer the related questions: Matthew 11:28 Come to Me, all...

Brothers and Sisters, those with Joshua who "first heard" the "good news" of how to enter the Sabbath and were not allowed to enter by oath for 40 years in the desert near the Promised Land, did not enter the "day" of rest during those 40 years, which Joshua later entered at an earlier time than...

Asking fellow Christians still awake for prayer. Because of a neck injury while in service, at times it affects my arms with nerve pain. That is the situation now that is keeping me from sleep. My medication is not effective tonight and I need rest. Thank You.

Hi there, So this is evidently a question about faith. I do not mean to add question to question. My intent is to have faith, despite people having "questions". People ask questions, but when they receive the knowledge the ask, if they ask in vain, they simply come up with more questions. As a...

Hi there, So yes, I have worked out what the utility of design, is. If you have a definition of your "design", you are able to compare that "design", with mutations, whether you have enough strength to meet the pressure put on you by mutation. Where you cannot handle the pressure, the mutation...

Matthew 11:28-30 ESV “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” Heavy Laden with Sin To labor is to...

Hi there, So yes, mental health (general struggles, whatever you want to call it) can be a tricky thing. One thing that is important, is that we do not trip ourselves up - that we do not create mental habits that are not ultimately helpful. You can criticise the Devil without authority all you...

...is how startled I would have been? If the theory helps me discern how startled I am, from how startled I would have been: I can commit to being righteous, about how effective the startling I am is to others, who do not have the same angle, on the same truth (as they would have, if they had...

Hi there, So I don't even want to single out a specific faith, at this point in time - I just want to posit the question: I mean what is your framework, for "rest" if you will? Is the theory active "at rest" or "dormant"? Is dormancy a better readiness to respond, than "denial"? The point...

Hi there, So there is very little about this, in the Bible: evolving in to Hell - but there are scriptures which point in its direction. Mark 9:43 "if your hand causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it from you, for it is better to enter into life lame or maimed, than to be cast into Hell"...

A most important promise, a wonderful way of life.

Hi there, So I have been grappling with understanding Heaven and I have learnt very soundly, that the Lord is all-patient. This is good, but it is also a burden for a mere mortal, such as myself - I don't have the stamina to do the will of the Lord, without a rest. Indeed God gives us rest on...

Psalm 23:1-3 ESV “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.” Because the Lord Jesus is my Shepherd, I am not lacking in any...

Psalm 23:1-3 ESV The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Jesus Christ, my Lord and my Savior, is my guide, the one who directs...

It was kind of like a dream. I was waking up and my mind was thinking. I was thinking about our apartment we are moving into in a few weeks, and I was thinking about my room/study/office/music room, and the placement of the various pictures on the walls, and about my scripture quilt, too. I...

Matthew 12:1At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn; and his disciples were an hungred, and began to pluck the ears of corn and to eat. 2 But when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto him, Behold, thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath day. 3 But he...

I know that any kind of work for profit is prohibited on Shabbat, but where does it say that one must not buy or sell? *I mean, money can change hands without profit being a motive right...like giving some to someone in need...or just aquiring some need like food or transportation...or even...

Hebrews 4 1 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. 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. 3...

God is the Creator and gave mankind blessings "The Sabbath was made FOR mankind" Mark 2:27 "on the 4th day God made TWO great lights" Genesis 1 "from Sabbath to Sabbath shall ALL MANKIND come before Me to worship" Is 66:23 God made the Sun and the Sabbath - and they are given to bless mankind...
