fli1942, can you give us chapter and verse on that?
That is my point. The true sabbath observance isn't a ritual.You did it all wrong. You were not resting, you were trusting in a ceremony. Look at the bible and you find Jesus at the beach sharing the word of God on the sabbath.
No, I am not kidding and you obviously dont get it. It is not a matter of grammar, but picture of enacted eschatology.You're kidding, right?
The grammar doesn't support your assertion. Most of it is present tense and not future tense. It's pointless to even attempt such an interpretation.
See...you completely lost me several post ago...so that I have no clue what you are talking about...What makes you think that obedient people are not saved by grace? Perhaps you interpret appreciative conduct as works intended to earn salvation. Surely this is not a legitimate accusation. Surely you have heard many sabbath keepers clearly state that they do it because they love Him and not because they are trying to establish their own saving righteousness. Accusing the obedient of not being saved by grace is just a cop out line to justify being one of the dissobedient.
Although you say this with conviction, there is not one scripture to support your claim that the fourth commandment is done away with. NOT ONE SCRIPTURE!The 4th commandment is done away with. When Jesus died and we accepted Him as our Savior He came into us and made us a living Temple. We no longer have a middle man nor do we have to travel to the Temple . We are to worship him every day. However, we are not to forsake gathering together with other believers on the first day of the week.
Pictures are nice, but they have to be supported by Scripture. As they're not, this is not enacted eschatology. It's present reality. The grammar demands it. The number and role of present tenses in Heb 3:18-4:11 shows this isn't eschatological. It's now. And because it's now, it's "Today".No, I am not kidding and you obviously don’t get it. It is not a matter of grammar, but picture of enacted eschatology.
If you are part of the group that have to choose between the mark of the beast worship or worship of the creator... I would say that is the recommendation from heaven by the loud cry of the angel who said worship the creator should be your first clue..You'll have to prove that the sabbath was recommanded to gentile believers and the NT church like the other 9 are.
You'll also have to reconcile your view with the verses that show us freedom regarding the issue.
I'm sorry but I don't understand the connection you're making.If you are part of the group that have to choose between the mark of the beast worship or worship of the creator...

You must worship the Creator as He dictates it... and He said that worshipping Him on the sabbath is honoring and sanctifying to Him.I'm sorry but I don't understand the connection you're making.
I worship the Creator, the Almight God of the Universe within the freedom we have in Christ because of the work He did on the Cross. My righteousness is of rags, but His is everything.
Then I will leave it to the Lord to reveal it.I do worship Him. We are to be livinng sacrifices and in pray without ceasing.
Nothing about the Sabbath in that verse you posted.
