Remember that which remaineth...

[Raeneske]

Hebrews 4:3-5 For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. 4 For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works. 5 And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest.

Hebrews 4:9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.

This is some of the clearest evidence that the 7th Day Sabbath must be kept by the children of God. Paul does not leave this "rest" up for discussion. He says that God is speaking of the 7th Day. This is God's rest. And when speaking of the Israelites He says, "If they shall enter into my rest" that is "they shall not enter into my rest". What rest? God's Sabbath rest. When was this rest taken? Upon the 7th Day. The Bible says the Sabbath "remaineth... to the people of God." Even the very word rest in Hebrews 4:9 is a very different word. It is Sabbatismos, meaning a keeping Sabbath.

The sad truth behind this matter is, if you don't want to keep the Sabbath, then you won't get to. If you want to reject His Sabbath here, then you will not get the privilege of keeping it in heaven.

Isaiah 66:23 And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD.

With the heavenly universe, so shall the saints in glory upon every single Sabbath worship Him, from one Sabbath to another. Upon the special day shall the saints enjoy the presence of God the Father. Amen.

So don't do any work on the Sabbath and go to church on Sunday, the day of His Resurrection to celebrate your salvation from death and corruption.

So don't do any work on the Sabbath and go to church on Sunday, the day of His Resurrection to celebrate your salvation from death and corruption.

The Bible says the 7th Day is the Sabbath, not Sunday. Sunday, the day He arose, is the first day of the week.

Matthew 28:1 In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.

Mark 16:1 And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him.

Mark 16:9 Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils.

OK, So what is you point?

That Sunday is not the Sabbath. I therefore will not be going to church on Sunday, for services which are to be done upon the Sabbath. I will not choose "both" and fall under the condemnation of God for being a double minded man. Either keep God's Sabbath, or keep the sabbath of the world.

Wrong. You are supposed to REST on the sabbath.

EX 16:29 Bear in mind that the LORD has given you the Sabbath; that is why on the sixth day he gives you bread for two days. Everyone is to stay where he is on the seventh day; no one is to go out." 30 So the people rested on the seventh day.

EX 20:8 "Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your manservant or maidservant, nor your animals, nor the alien within your gates.

EX 31:14 " `Observe the Sabbath, because it is holy to you. Anyone who desecrates it must be put to death; whoever does any work on that day must be cut off from his people. 15 For six days, work is to be done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day must be put to death. 16 The Israelites are to observe the Sabbath, celebrating it for the generations to come as a lasting covenant. 17 It will be a sign between me and the Israelites forever, for in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day he abstained from work and rested.' "

EX 35:1 Moses assembled the whole Israelite community and said to them, "These are the things the LORD has commanded you to do: 2 For six days, work is to be done, but the seventh day shall be your holy day, a Sabbath of rest to the LORD. Whoever does any work on it must be put to death. 3 Do not light a fire in any of your dwellings on the Sabbath day."

LEV 23:3 " `There are six days when you may work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of rest, a day of sacred assembly. You are not to do any work; wherever you live, it is a Sabbath to the LORD.

DT 5:12 "Observe the Sabbath day by keeping it holy, as the LORD your God has commanded you. 13 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 14 but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your manservant or maidservant, nor your ox, your donkey or any of your animals, nor the alien within your gates, so that your manservant and maidservant may rest, as you do.

The CHRISTIAN Church has celebrated the resurrection of the Lord on the first day of the week (Sunday) since its beginning.

The early church gathered for worship on the Lord’s Day, the first day of the week. (Sunday)

Justin Martyr : The First Apology of Justin C.100-162 AD
But Sunday is the day on which we all hold our common assembly, because it is the first day on which God, having wrought a change in the darkness and matter, made the world; and Jesus Christ our Savior on the same day rose from the dead. For He was crucified on the day before that of Saturn (Saturday); and on the day after that of Saturn, which is the day of the Sun, having appeared to His apostles and disciples,…

The Teaching of the Apostles. ( The Dideache) (1st Century)
The apostles further appointed: On the first day of the week let there be service, and the reading of the Holy Scriptures, and the oblation: because on the first day of the week our Lord rose from the place of the dead and on the first day of the week He arose upon the world, and on the first day of the week He ascended up to heaven, and on the first day of the week He will appear at last with the angels of heaven.

The Epistle of Ignatius to the Magnesians C. 50-117 AD, Bishop of Antioch
Chapter IX.—Let Us Live with Christ.

If, therefore, those who were brought up in the ancient order of things have come to the possession of a new hope, no longer observing the Sabbath, but living in the observance of the Lord’s Day…

…And after the observance of the Sabbath, let every friend of Christ keep the Lord’s Day as a festival, the resurrection-day, the queen and chief of all the days [of the week]. Looking forward to this, the prophet declared, “To the end, for the eighth day,” on which our life both sprang up again, and the victory over death was obtained in Christ, …

…At the dawning of the Lord’s day He arose from the dead, according to what was spoken by Himself, “As Jonah was three days and three nights in the whale’s belly, so shall the Son of man also be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.” The day of the preparation, then, comprises the passion; the Sabbath embraces the burial; the Lord’s Day contains the resurrection.

The Epistle of Barnabas C. 70-131AD
Chapter XV. The False and the True Sabbath.

…. Further, He says to them, “Your new moons and your Sabbath I cannot endure.” Ye perceive how He speaks: Your present Sabbaths are not acceptable to Me, but that is which I have made, [namely this, ] when, giving rest to all things, I shall make a beginning of the eighth day, that is, a beginning of another world. Wherefore, also, we keep the eighth day with joyfulness, the day also on which Jesus rose again from the dead. And when He had manifested Himself, He ascended into the heavens.

Tertullian: (160-220 AD) An Answer to the Jews
Chapter IV. Of the Observance of the Sabbath.

It follows, accordingly, that, in so far as the abolition of carnal circumcision and of the old law is demonstrated as having been consummated at its specific times, so also the observance of the Sabbath is demonstrated to have been temporary.

The Paschal Canon of Anatolius of Alexandria. (3rd Century)
…the successors of Peter and Paul, who have taught all the churches in which they sowed the spiritual seeds of the Gospel, that the solemn festival of the resurrection of the Lord can be celebrated only on the Lord’s day….

…on the Lord’s day, on which the resurrection of the Lord from death took place, and on which rose also for us the cause of everlasting joy. …

From:

Eusebius – The Church History: A New Translation with Commentary, Paul L. Maier, Kregel Publications, 1999

Book 1, The person and work of Christ; The antiquity of the faith
“They had no interest in bodily circumcision, nor do we; nor for keeping the Sabbath, nor do we; nor for abstaining from some foods or other distinctions that Moses first delivered to their successors to be observed as symbols, nor do such things concern Christians now.” P.31

Eusebius also reports on some early Sabatarians, the heretical Ebionites, in the early church.

Book 3; Missions and Persecutions; The Ebionites, Cerenthus, and Nicolaus
“Others, however, had the same name bur escaped the absurd folly of the aforementioned. They did not deny that the Lord was born of a virgin and the Holy Spirit but nevertheless shared their failure to confess his preexistences as God the Word and Wisdom. Thus equally impious, they too were zealous in observing the law literally and thought that the letters of the apostle [Paul] ought to be rejected totally, calling him an apostate from the law. They used only the so-called Gospel of the Hebrews and accorded the others little respect. Like the former, they observed the Sabbath and the whole Jewish ceremonial, but on the Lord’s Day (that would be Sunday, Harold) they celebrated rites like ours in commemoration of the Savior’s resurrection. Because of these practices they have been dubbed Ebionites, a name indicating the poverty of their intelligence, since the word means “poor” in Hebrew.” P. 116-117

I didn't say Sunday was the Sabbath. Sunday is the Day when the Christian church assembled together as the Church.

Absolutely, and unequivocally untrue in the sense you mean it. The Bible reveals that the apostles broke bread daily with the disciples. Sunday was not exalted above measure. The disciples worked each and every single day for the salvation for men and women.

Acts 2:46 And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,

Sunday was not turned into a day of gathering and worship until much later, and that through mistake of the Church of God.

Wrong. You are supposed to REST on the sabbath.

Luke 4:16 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read.

As we know Jesus is sinless, we will not declare that He had done wrong upon the Sabbath. Yet Christ and those who went to the synagogues upon the Sabbath were found guiltless. The Sabbath day is a day of rest, but it is a holy day as well. The commandment says remember to "keep it holy".

Exodus 20:8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.

Isaiah 58:13-14 If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words: 14 Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.

Acts 17:2 And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and three sabbath days reasoned with them out of the scriptures,

<< Sunday was not turned into a day of gathering and worship until much later, and that through mistake of the Church of God. >>

Did you not read the historical documents I posted for you. BY the end of the FIRST century, the Church had already been meeting on the first day of the week.

<<Luke 4:16 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read.

As we know Jesus is sinless, we will not declare that He had done wrong upon the Sabbath. Yet Christ and those who went to the synagogues upon the Sabbath were found guiltless. The Sabbath day is a day of rest, but it is a holy day as well. The commandment says remember to "keep it holy".>>

Jesus, when He walked this earth, was a Jew under the Law.

<<Acts 17:2 And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and three sabbath days reasoned with them out of the scriptures,>>

Paul wen to the Synagogues on the Sabbath because that is where the JEws would gather on the sabbath. It provided him the opportunity to preach the good news to many people, at one time, in one place.

But the CHRISTIAN Church, Jew AND Gentile, met on the first day of the week, the Lord's Day, resurrection day, from the very earliest days of the church.

They did that because the resurrection is the most important event in the history of the universe. Without the resurrection NO ONE is saved.

Hebrews 4:3-5 For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. 4 For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works. 5 And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest.

Hebrews 4:9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.

This is some of the clearest evidence that the 7th Day Sabbath must be kept by the children of God. Paul does not leave this "rest" up for discussion. He says that God is speaking of the 7th Day. This is God's rest. And when speaking of the Israelites He says, "If they shall enter into my rest" that is "they shall not enter into my rest". What rest? God's Sabbath rest.

The sad truth is that you're mistaken friend. What is evident in Hebrews 4 are these facts:
#1.God's rest from creation is a place that only believers can enter. (Heb 4:1). Claiming that unrestricted access was commanded or granted at creation is unfounded in scripture. The error is based on mistaking a day given for rest, as the same as God's creation rest.
For God to ever say that: "Sabbath is a sign" gives clear distinction between the rest that was made for man and the rest that was made for God.
#2.The place of God's rest is where He has been resting from His stated rest from finishing all His works according to Genesis2:1-3 (Heb4:2)

#3 Hebrews writer said; that God's rest was first preached about in a certain place. Using exact words spoken in Gen 2:1-3. So, from Gen 2:1-3 Should we be talking about God's rest or the rest that was made for man?

#4 A major fact in these scriptures is; God's rest was never offered to everybody at creation. The people to whom it was first offered was the Children of Israel. They did not enter God's rest because of unbelief. The record of their history of sabbathkeeping and sabbathbreaking is clear.
