Bob,"the rest that REMAINS" according to Paul in Heb4 is God's rest from creation. This proves that God's rest and the weekly Sabbath is not the same.
The context says plainly, that those who got the first invite, did not enter because of unbelief.
Now you chose to embellish by isolating for word value, and I expect denial or ignore to respond against to facts.
Here we go again with your embellishments with keywords from isolated texts. Anyone who reads all of 1Cor 7 can know that Paul was giving Godly and personal counsel about women issues that the Corinthian had questions about. So 'commandment of God' in this context is not your ten commandments. Why are you so desperate to mishandle God's word with no shame?in true "what matters is keeping the Commandments of God" 1Cor 7:19 fashion.

Prove it BP. You dont want to admit that the commandments in question were about relationship issuesBobRyan said:In 1Cor 7 Paul compares the ceremonial law regarding circumcision to the moral law of the Commandments of God - and so this clear distinction is also firmly stated and admitted by the pro-sunday scholarship noted in the OP.
Could the OP misunderstand the people referenced in his OP? I think the OP is at least misrepresenting them for the purpose of deception if not misunderstanding them. I think if the OP misunderstands them the OP is not interested in understanding them as evidenced in this thread and through out CF.In 1Cor 7 Paul compares the ceremonial law regarding circumcision to the moral law of the Commandments of God - and so this clear distinction is also firmly stated and admitted by the pro-sunday scholarship noted in the OP.
In Heb 4, in Gen 2:1-3, in Ex 20:11 all affirm God's rest on the 7th day and apply this to mankind -- just as does Paul in his "there remains therefore a Sabbath rest for the people of God".
And Christ in Mark 2:27 also applies it to all mankind "Sabbath was made for mankind".
As does God in Is 66:23 "From Sabbath to Sabbath shall all Mankind come before Me to Worship".
An "all mankind" scope in both NT and OT not missed by those in the OP.

Interesting accusation - did you have an actual "detail" in the OP where that accusation holds up?I think the OP is at least misrepresenting them for the purpose of deception

17 But as God has distributed to each one, as the Lord has called each one, so let him walk. And so I ordain in all the churches. 18 Was anyone called while circumcised? Let him not become uncircumcised. Was anyone called while uncircumcised? Let him not be circumcised. 19 Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing, but keeping the commandments of God is what matters. 20 Let each one remain in the same calling in which he was called. 21 Were you called while a slave? Do not be concerned about it; but if you can be made free, rather use it. 22 For he who is called in the Lord while a slave is the Lords freedman. Likewise he who is called while free is Christs slave. 23 You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of men. 24 Brethren, let each one remain with God in that state in which he was called.

I have read this site and particularly this subject content for several years and make well founded observations. You pretend yesterday did not happen. Unfortunately we have a record not in your favor.If we note "the details" in the OP where each point is singled out and numbered for us - then we observe that it is 100% accurate and that no actual "detail" has been found so far to be in error even by those strongly opposed to God's TEN Commandments.
Interesting accusation - did you have an actual "detail" in the OP where that accusation holds up?
Or are you content to simply surmise the accusation sans-all-details.
Such a strongly worded false accusation yet no apparent interest in providing a shred of detail from the OP in support of that accusation?
Really??
That practice should pass for objective debate?
Might you be violating a CF board rule by using such a tactic?
in Christ,
Bob

Why do you resort to partial quotes of even a sentence?
They have already been provided to you. I see no sense in c&p something every time you wish to present something. What you are doing amounts to spam. It is why you changed some of your material to your signature. I do not recall any new material quoted by you in this thread. You do refer to some past posts without reference though.You choose to continue to not provide a shred of "detail" from the OP in support of your false accusation - as if that satisfies you. Well if it does then just know that I prefer actual facts by contrast - as noted in the post of mine - listed above.
When you find some detail in the OP that actually supports the false accusation you made - be sure and let us know. As it stands now you seem to have no interest in providing actual facts to go along with your false accusations.
But to be fair to you -- I think we can all assume that you would be honest enough to provide actual facts if you had them.
in Christ,
Bob

Read it again, you're twisting the facts. There is no comparing of any of the situations that Paul mentioned. By isolating those text from the chapter you're still wrong in your supposition.Clearly this text does not allow us an excuse for ignoring the strong support we find for the "Commandments of God" in vs 19 as they are compared to the ceremonial law of "circumcision".

The entire TEN Commandments are about "relationship issues" - love for God and Love for our neighbor.
Is this a red herring you are offering as an excuse for ignoring Paul's "what matters is KEEPING the Commandments of God"??
In making that statement Paul compares the ceremonial law of circumcision to the moral law of COMMANDMENTS of God.
17 But as God has distributed to each one, as the Lord has called each one, so let him walk. And so I ordain in all the churches. 18 Was anyone called while circumcised? Let him not become uncircumcised. Was anyone called while uncircumcised?

again 'you quote you" to make your case while ignoring "the details" in 1Cor 7:17-19Read it again, you're twisting the facts. There is no comparing of any of the situations that Paul mentioned. By isolating those text from the chapter you're still wrong in your supposition.
What does it mean to be called to be circumcised? What does it mean to be called to be uncircumcised? What does it mean to be called as a slave? What does it means to be called as free? What does it mean to be called as married? What does it mean to be called as a single person?
Your war is against the fact that Christian are called primarily in uncircumcision.So the commandments of God in this context is not the law, unless we're all called to be circumcised. Anyone who read the entire chapter, knows that Paul is referring to commandment from God about questions the Corinthians wanted clarification.
1Co 7:1
Seems like only yesterday you had a similar conversation with from scratch who did provide quotes. You played the same tune then also.Just not on this thread??
Just not on any thread that you care to link to??
Why make the false accusation here about the OP on this thread if you have no inclination to support your false accusation with something like an actual fact??
Don't you think that is a little too transparently obvious regarding the lack of support for the false accusation you make about the OP on this thread?
really??
If one is going to make such strong false accusations regarding the OP - one should be willing to provide a shred of fact to go with it.
in Christ,
Bob
Sorry but circumcision is not a ceremony.In making this 1Cor 7:17-19 statement Paul compares the ceremonial law of circumcision to the moral law of COMMANDMENTS of God.

====================
again 'you quote you" to make your case while ignoring "the details" in 1Cor 7:17-19
"1 Were you called while a slave? Do not be concerned about it;". That is about real physical human slavery vs freedom -- being married is not slavery, being a Jew is not slavery. Being a gentile is not slavery.
" 18 Was anyone called while circumcised? Let him not become uncircumcised."
Even the majority of pro-sunday scholarship in the OP "notice the details" that you are ignoring -- namely that the comparison of circumcision to the "Commandments of God" is a comparison between ceremonial law ended - and moral law continued which are the "Commandments of God".
It is not "just SDAs" that notice these Bible details.
in Christ,
Bob
