You still don't get it...
Oh well I guess that's just the way it is...
The "it" you offer doesn't have Jesus.

Psalm 34
8 Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good;
Blessed is the man who trusts in Him!
9 Oh, fear the LORD, you His saints!
There is no want to those who fear Him.
10 The young lions lack and suffer hunger;
But those who seek the LORD shall not lack any good thing.

Once again you've come to the wrong conclusion.

You haven't offered any Scriptural basis for me to arrive at any other conclusion. I have to accept what you write as an explanation for your views, and it has been a consistent denial of God's redemption.

Eph 5:1Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;
You know what's interesting? The word "follower" would be equally translated as "imitator", because in Greek it comes from the verb "to imitate". Thus this verse could be translated as this just as well: "be ye therefore imitators of God as beloved children". It is written that God rested on the seventh day (Genesis 2:3), and Isaiah also said that God doesn't actually need rest for He doesn't get tired (Isaiah 40:28). Thus He didn't rest because He needed to rest. He rested to give us an example for us to imitate. And, according to Paul, we must "imitate God as beloved children". Do the math. Also, it should be noted that the Sabbath began before the fall, as being part of God's perfect plan, just like marriage.

no proof that the sabbath was initiated before the fall.... and your analogy breaks down as we are not Jesus, so we cannot and should not imitate everything he did... i.e. he was homeless, should we be homeless? he was single should we be single? he was crucified on a cross, should we be crucified on a cross?
