The CREATOR vs Evolution and why upholding the Sabbath is SO Important

[SabbathBlessings]

Now I think I understand why Jesus said this:

He that is unjust, let him be unjust still:​

and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still:​

and he that is righteous,​

let him be righteous still:​

and he that is holy,​

let him be holy still.” Rev 22:11​

And he is rewarding for WORKS!

“And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.” Rev 22:12​

​

Same (Greek) word used in James 2

​

14 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?​

​

​

Yes and at Revelation 22:11 that is when probation closes and everyone has made their final decision and our fates will be sealed.

 

[Lulav]

Oh my, it seems like not one word I have written on the forum has had any effect on those bent on proclaiming we have to keep the law of the old covenant in order to know what sin is.

Oh Bobcat, don't you see it is the following of God's laws that show we love him and our neighbor?

The Law says that man is not to cut his sideburns.

This was one of many pagan practices that the LORD was trying to keep his people from doing. Egyptians shaved their heads and many times the hairs were used in certain ceremonies to the dead or spirits.

The law states that man is to sacrifice animals on the Sabbath.

Not quite, the law says the Priests were to do this in a certain place, the tabernacle, and later the temple. Neither stand today, you aren't a Levitical Priest are you? Then you don't have to worry about that.

The Law states that man must remain in his dwelling on the Sabbath.

Nothing wrong with that is there? Unless you have something better than concentrating on GOD to do on His Holy day?

The Law states that man is to work six days a week.

It's more like only the first six days, you can work less but not more.

In the scheme of things, how hard are these to do?

What is GOD'S will?

 

[Lulav]

Yes and at Revelation 22:11 that is when probation closes and everyone has made their final decision and our fates will be sealed.

And just after this...

14 Blessed are they that do his commandments,
that they may have right to the tree of life,
and may enter in through the gates into the city.


Doing his commandments leads to life , just as it states in the Torah. That right is given to those who have been obedient to it and the tree of life brings life eternal with our Creator, Amen!

Yes, not sure why so many people fight against God's commandments- they are for our own good! Psalms 19:7

 

[Cribstyl]

Yes, those 12 were given that commission.

Which covenant are you speaking of here?

What does 'throughout all your generations' mean to you or 'perpetual covenant'?

1. I have Jewish heritage.
2. Yeshua said this:

18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.​

Not looking to be called great, but wanting to please my LORD and Savior.


Since you seem to take Pauls word, how do you see this?

13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office: ​

14 If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them. ​

15 For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead? ​

16 For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches. (Speaking of Israel)​

​

17 And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert grafted in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;​

​

18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.​

​

19 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.​

​

20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:​

​

21 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.​

​

22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off. ​

23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again.​

​

24 For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?​

​

25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.​

​

26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written​

​

So where are you grafted in? Whose tree?

You're missing the facts. The tree is not Israel. Israel is the branches that was broken off. Gentiles are not grafted into Israel , they're grafted into the tree (root).

If Abraham only had to 'walk in faith' then the Messiah would never have come.

Abraham was promised things he would never see but he believed the LORD when he told him;
he didn't understand since he had no offspring and even his wife laughed when she heard about it.

His wife laughed about having a child in her old age . Why are you saying that Abraham would never see it?

But Abraham did what the LORD told him to do.

"and kept My commandments, My statutes, and My laws TORAH.” Gen 26: 4​

All those things above are found in Torah (The Books of Moses) which means 'Instructions' this included up to being willing to sacrifice his only son, Issac because he believed that somehow the LORD would still make him the one to carry on the promise.

That is not just believing or 'having faith' that is as James taught, Faith with Works.

Abraham did the work of loading up his donkey, gathering wood, taking fire and his only son and traveling for 3 days while being about 130 years old. Then when he found the place he went through all the motions (and GOD knew his heart so it wasn't a show) to sacrifice his son.

I'd say that's much more than God has asked of anyone since, yet it is a work of faith.

We are not asked to do such a thing today, how dare we whine and cry about keeping the seventh day as a memorial to the Creator, or carry on because we aren't supposed to eat bacon ice cream or skunk pate?

If Abraham did no works and didn't keep the LORD's commandments, statutes, and TORAH
there would be No Messiah, No savior, No Salvation......................Contemplate that.

Really??? Maybe you can explain where Abraham got the book of Moses. So God was reading the script when He spoke from Sinai?

Right, of course not, they were kicked out of the garden so it's a moot point to 'put it on the books' right?

How do you define a law?

 

[Lulav]

Yes, not sure why so many people fight against God's commandments- they are for our own good! Psalms 19:7

I'm sorry to say that it's still the same as it was since shortly after Yeshua left, antisemitism.

 

[BobRyan]

God speaks in Gen 26 to Isaac and God says --

4 I will multiply your descendants as the stars of heaven, and will give your descendants all these lands; and by your descendants all the nations of the earth shall be blessed; 5 because Abraham obeyed Me and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes and My laws.”” Gen 26: 4

Really??? Maybe you can explain where Abraham got the book of Moses

As usual your argument is "with the text".

Did God have no ability at all to convey anything to Abraham in your POV - without having it first written by Moses?

Is that even logical??

Moses is writing both Genesis and Exodus - "reporting history" to his readers - and so we see the continuity of the theme , same author, same audience, same concepts, same subject.

Some folks find Bible details to be "very very inconvenient" so no wonder opposition to Bible details exists on planet Earth today.

 

[Lulav]

You're missing the facts. The tree is not Israel. Israel is the branches that was broken off. Gentiles are not grafted into Israel , they're grafted into the tree (root).

Here's a fact: Speaking of Israel Jeremiah 11:16 says "The Lord called you a thriving olive tree with fruit beautiful in form.

The tree is not the root, the root is what sustains the tree and branches.

His wife laughed about having a child in her old age . Why are you saying that Abraham would never see it?

Your response to this:

lulav said: If Abraham only had to 'walk in faith' then the Messiah would never have come.​

​

Abraham was promised things he would never see but he believed the LORD when he told him;​

he didn't understand since he had no offspring and even his wife laughed when she heard about it. ​

​

Not just speaking of Isaac, but of the land, the descendants as numerous as the stars - he did not see this nor imagine how it could happen but he followed the Torah of GOD in everything he told him to do.

Really??? Maybe you can explain where Abraham got the book of Moses. So God was reading the script when He spoke from Sinai?

That is too non-sensical to even respond to. Maybe a good study of Genesis will help.

We were talking about your quotes from Romans 11:15-26 not Jer 11 . You asked So where are you grafted in? Whose tree?
You appear to suggest that Gentiles are grafted into Israel and should keep Sabbath and the law given to Israel.
You also claim that Abraham had the Books of Moses (Torah) because of your comments and interpretation of Gen 26:5.

My argument is that; God accepts Gentiles as Gentiles; we do not have to take on Jewish customs or Old Covenant. We're saved by faith and not by keeping the law.

 

[Bob S]

Lulav asked:

Oh Bobcat, don't you see it is the following of God's laws that show we love him and our neighbor?

Why can't you see that the Law God gave Israel ended at Calvary. Why is it you cannot see that Jesus came to fulfill the Law. Your belief is that He didn't do what He said He was going to do. It is obvious that you don't believe much of what Paul wrote.

Lulav wrote:

This was one of many pagan practices that the LORD was trying to keep his people from doing. Egyptians shaved their heads and many times the hairs were used in certain ceremonies to the dead or spirits.

Boy oh boy are you full of one excuse after another. Had God not wanted men to shave their heads He would have plainly stated such. The Law states in Leviticus:
26 “‘Do not eat any meat with the blood still in it.“ '‘Do not practice divination or seek omens.'' 27 “‘Do not cut the hair at the sides of your head or clip off the edges of your beard. 28 “‘Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the Lord.

Lulav wrote:

Not quite, the law says the Priests were to do this in a certain place,

I made a true statement "The law states that man is to sacrifice animals on the Sabbath." and still you had to try to refute it and add something to show your superior knowledge on the subject.

Lulav wrote:

the tabernacle, and later the temple. Neither stand today, you aren't a Levitical Priest are you? Then you don't have to worry about that.

Why would I worry about sacrificing animals on any day? I have been freed from the laws of the old covenant. I follow Jesus and His royal Law of Love, it is you that follows Moses and the Law.


Lulav wrote:

Nothing wrong with that is there?

You tell me. I choose to follow Jesus and His new covenant, so I do not in the least have to be concerned if it is a sin to wander out of your dwelling on the day given only to one nation.

Lulav stated:

Unless you have something better than concentrating on GOD to do on His Holy day?

I have never been directed to have to concentrate on God on any certain day.

Lulav wrote:

It's more like only the first six days, you can work less but not more.

There you go, trying to convince me of something that was not written. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work,

Lulav asked:

In the scheme of things, how hard are these to do?

You should tell me because I have never tried except for "keeping" Sabbath. I was a complete failure no matter how hard I tried. Is58: 13
“If you keep your feet from breaking the Sabbath
and from doing as you please on my holy day,
if you call the Sabbath a delight
and the Lord’s holy day honorable,
and if you honor it by not going your own way
and not doing as you please or speaking idle words,

Have you come to the place in your Sabbath "keeping" where you can truthfully tell us you have conquered the rules of Sabbath observance in Isaiah 58?

Lulav asked:

What is GOD'S will?

Great question, His will is that all mankind become believers, that we will ask forgiveness, that we will forgive others, that we won't fall into temptation and that we be delivered from evil. His greatest will that covers everything is that we love others as He loves us.

Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 10 Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. 11 Give us this day our daily bread. 12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

​

You're missing the facts. The tree is not Israel. Israel is the branches that was broken off. Gentiles are not grafted into Israel , they're grafted into the tree (root).​

I quoted from Jeremiah 11 because it refutes what you said that the tree is not Israel.There's only one tree.

You appear to suggest that Gentiles are grafted into Israel and should keep Sabbath and the law given to Israel.

"For not all who are descended from Israel are Israel."

You also claim that Abraham had the Books of Moses (Torah) because of your comments and interpretation of Gen 26:5.

Absolutely not, you really like to twist words. I don't need to 'interpret' Gen 26 it's very plain reading.
The LORD gave to Abraham, commandments, ordinances, instructions and he obeyed them.
The takeaway from that is that what GOD told Abraham to do, he did - works, obedience.

My argument is that; God accepts Gentiles as Gentiles; we do not have to take on Jewish customs or Old Covenant. We're saved by faith and not by keeping the law.

See above, you can't only have faith.

"And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's seed and heirs according to the promise."

How do you become an heir to something that belongs to someone else?

To Abraham the LORD said:

I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and to your descendants after you.​

 

[Lulav]

Have you read Isaiah 56?

Salvation for the Gentiles​

1Thus says the Lord:

“Keep justice, and do righteousness,
For My salvation is about to come,
And My righteousness to be revealed.
2Blessed is the man who does this,
And the son of man who lays hold on it;
Who keeps from defiling the Sabbath,
And keeps his hand from doing any evil.”

3Do not let the son of the foreigner
Who has joined himself to the Lord
Speak, saying,
“The Lord has utterly separated me from His people”;
Nor let the eunuch say,
“Here I am, a dry tree.”
4For thus says the Lord:
“To the eunuchs who keep My Sabbaths,
And choose what pleases Me,
And hold fast My covenant,
5Even to them I will give in My house
And within My walls a place and a name
Better than that of sons and daughters;
I will give them an everlasting name
That shall not be cut off.

6“Also the sons of the foreigner
Who join themselves to the Lord, to serve Him,
And to love the name of the Lord, to be His servants—
Everyone who keeps from defiling the Sabbath,
And holds fast My covenant—
7Even them I will bring to My holy mountain,
And make them joyful in My house of prayer.
Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices
Will be accepted on My altar;
For My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations.”
8The Lord God, who gathers the outcasts of Israel, says,
“Yet I will gather to him
Others besides those who are gathered to him.”

Sad millions of people spend so much of their efforts trying to discredit God’s Holy Sabbath day, the very Words that God personally wrote and spoke and so many clear scriptures all throughout God’s Word, than they do trying to find the missing text that says the first day is sanctified and blessed by God. God only claimed one day in scripture and He made it easy to understand in very clear words.

Exodus 20:10 but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God.
The Sabbath is My holy day Isaiah 58:13
and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the Lord. Isaiah 66:23

I sure want to be one of God’s people Ezekiel 20:20, Ezekiel 20:12 and go to God’s Holy Mountain!

You're mistaken and thus rejecting that Christ's blood sealed the New Covenant. This Isa 56 prophesy is related to the Old Covenant. If you don't think so, tell us what sacrifices and burnt offering are required under the New Covenant.

Unfortunately for you, Scriptures are subjected to understanding, not questionable commentary.
Noone here has ever discredited the Sabbath. We say it was given through Moses as the sign of the covenant, you say it was given in creation for humanity. In Rom 14 Paul taught about days chosen to worship God.
We don't agree but should still reason love each other.

I do love you which is why I am spending my time helping you see the Truth in God's Word. Romans 14 does not mention the Sabbath commandment, so you are reading that into the scripture and ignoring so many scriptures like this post you responded to.

The goal is to be with God on His Holy mountain. I would suggest you prayerfully re-read Isaiah 56

Jesus warns us about worshipping in vain by keeping man-made rules over God's commandments- quoting directly from the Ten Commandments Matthew 15:3-9. that God personally wrote for us, Exodus 31:18, Exodus 32:16 We must worship Him in Truth and Spirit John 4:23-24 and all of God's commandments are Truth Psalms 119:151- we are sanctified by the Truth in God's Word John 17:17 those who keep not His commandments there is no Truth 1 John 2:3-4 One of the last scriptures in the bible: Revelation 22:14 Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city.

God identified His commandments right in the Ten- so your argument that the Sabbath is not included is not really with me.

Exodus 20:6 but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.

The Sabbath will never end- it is God's holy day that He said so in very easy to understand words, personally written by our heavenly Father.

Exodus 20:10 but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God.
The Sabbath is My holy day Isaiah 58:13
and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the Lord. Isaiah 66:23

 

[Cribstyl]

God's Holy Mountain is the Old Covenant?

My words are few. I did not say that. I'm saying that Isa 56 is an OT prophesy that does not apply after the cross. If so, tell me about your burnt offering and sacrifices spoken about in that chapter.

You are sadly mistaken. You keep thinking a covenant means a set of laws, when it doesn't.

did not say that either.

Joel 2:1

The Day of the Lord​

Blow the trumpet in Zion, And sound an alarm in My holy mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble; For the day of the Lord is coming, For it is at hand

The blood of Jesus sealed God's covenant- which means we cannot add or change anything.

Hebrews 8:10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.

God's new covenant is about the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in each individual and not the law on stone. The 10 commandment is 1 size fit all.

A five-year-old child probably won't commit adultery. The Holy Spirit might say, Ask mom for those cookies.

We all agree that sin is still sin. We agree that the wage of sin is death. We believe that Christ gave 2 commandment that fulfills the law. The law only gives a label to what you should not do. The law condemns. The law does not promise life.

 

[SabbathBlessings]

My words are few. I did not say that. I'm saying that Isa 56 is an OT prophesy that does not apply after the cross.

Should we ignore the sections in the scripture that we don’t agree with? This is a prophecy when Jesus comes so of course it is after the cross. The Sabbath didn’t end at the cross, its eternal which is why it continues on the New Earth Isaiah 66:23 and Isaiah 56 reminds us to hold fast the Sabbath and not defile it, which God warns us throughout His Word.

If so, tell me about you burnt offering and sacrifices spoken about in that chapter.

This is not referring to an earthy temple, God ministers from a heavenly Temple, the earthy temple was just a miniature of the heavenly Temple where God dwells. Hebrews 8:2. Hebrews 8:5 The earthy temple was an exact replica of God’s Heavenly Temple, what was literal in the OT in the sanctuary has a spiritual meaning in the NT. There is still an alter in God’s heavenly temple and the burnt offerings represent prayers of the saints Revelation 8:3-4. It also represent the work of Christ our High Priest since He always lives to make intercessions for us. Hebrews 7:24-26

God's new covenant is about the indwelling of the Holy Spirit

The Spirit convicts us of sin John 16:8 for those who have not harden their hearts Psalms 95:7-8, Hebrews 3:15, Hebrews 4:7, and we stop hearing the voice of God Matthew 12:31

Jesus gives us the Holy Spirit so we can obey His commandments, not break them. John 14:15-18 and the Spirit is given to those who obey. Acts 5:32.

The Spirit and God's law work in harmony, not against each other. Romans 8:1-8

in each individual and not the law on stone. The 10 commandment is 1 size fit all.

You seem to be in a disagreement with what God said about His new covenant promise.

Hebrews 8:10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.

God identified His commandments right in the Ten- so your argument that the Sabbath is not included is not really with me.

Exodus 20:6 but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.

A five-year-old child probably won't commit adultery. The Holy Spirit might say, Ask mom for those cookies.

We have laws in the books now, that if we don't break doesn't apply to us, so not sure your point. Because there is law there is wrath when breaking Romans 4:15 and sin is the transgression of the law even in the NT 1 John 3:4 which is why Cain committed sin when he killed his brother, the same sin applies today.

We all agree that sin is still sin. We agree that the wage of sin is death. We believe that Christ gave 2 commandment that fulfills the law. The law only gives a label to what you should not do. The law condemns. The law does not promise life.

I see a lot of your words that is not quite exactly as the scripture and we should keep in mind our words do not equal God's Words.

Matthew 24:40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

Which means they are upheld by the scripture instead of deleting it and warned not to go away from God's Word. Isaiah 8:20

John makes this point very clear.

1 John 5: 2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep His commandments. 3 For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome.

Jesus tells us we must do the will of God Matthew 7:21-23 and God wrote His will for us with His own finger and placed His laws in our hearts and minds in His New Covenant. Hebrews 8:10. We should delight to do God's will Psalms 40:8
