The danger of what you are trying to teach is that folks may miss entering the Sabbath Rest - the rest for believers to enjoy with Him our Father Creator who is resting on the seventh day of creation. read Hebrews 4... This Sabbath Rest eclipses the seventh day rest you insist on. If one is already at rest in Him there is no longer a need for a special day. But if you want to observe it please do and enjoy it. Your presentation essentially judges those who don't observe, and this is forbidden by Paul.
Hello brother Carl nice to see you again. Let's discuss your post here brother. How can there be a danger of entering the Sabbath rest when the Sabbath rest is a day?
EXODUS 20:10 [10], BUT THE SEVENTH DAY IS THE SABBATH OF THE LORD YOUR GOD;
HEBREWS 3 and HEBREW 4 show that no one enters into God's SABBATH rest without believing and following God's WORD (the gospel rest). Happy to go thought the scriptures if you like brother?
HEBREWS 4:1-11
[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 to us was the gospel preached, as well as to them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.
[3],
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 spoke 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.
NOTE: CONTEXT is God's REST from the SEVENTH DAY SABBATH REST OF CREATION (
v4-5) and those who BELIEVE and FOLLOW GOD's WORD enter into God's SABBATH REST as GOD did on the SEVENTH DAY of the week. CONTEXT is GOD's SEVENTH DAY SABBATH REST and those who believe or do not believe God's WORD and enter into that rest.
[6], Seeing therefore it remains that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached
entered not in because of unbelief:
[7], Again, he limits a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if you will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
[8], For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.
[9],
So then, it remains for the people of God to keep the Sabbath.
Now notice
Hebrews 4,
verse 9: “There remains therefore a SABBATH
rest to the people of God.” In
verses 1,
3,
4 and
8, the Greek word for “rest” is
katapausin. It means “rest.” But in
verse 9, the Greek word for “rest” is
sabbatismos, which is a Hebrew word—
Sabbat, which means “the Sabbath”—combined with a Greek suffix—
ismos, which means “a keeping of” or “a doing of.” Put together,
sabbatismo means “a keeping of the Sabbath.” When correctly translated,
Hebrews 4:9 should read, “There remains therefore a
keeping of the Sabbath to the people of God.”
[10], For he that is entered into
his rest (v9 SABBATH REST), he also has ceased from his own works, as God did from his.
[11],
Let us labor therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the
same example of unbelief (Heb 3).
.................
CONCLUSION: HEBREWS 4 is talking about the Gospel rest of BELIEVING and FOLLOWING God's WORD; v29 Learn of me; v30 my burden (doing) is light. This agrees with Hebrews 4:2 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. HEBREWS 4:9 is in reference to God's SEVENTH DAY SABBATH REST which is the CONTEXT shown in HEBREWS 4:1-5. HEBREWS 4 therefore with context added is saying that no one enter God's Sabbath rest if they do not BELIEVE God's WORD or follow it.
Hope this helps
