  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

By the way, Jesus said that his father hasn't rested and he does as his father does, good works always. To understand Christ in this context is to tell us to do good works always, for this world isn't ours and the night is coming where no one can work. We are the children of God under Christ and should be imitating them, especially Jesus. Our time is very limited and why are we resting? We are the law for God has written it in our hearts. As Christ, we better be doing God's will seven days a week, don't be scared of the modern day Pharisees. I leave your subject alone now. I just wanted you to see that we are born again, not of the Old Covenant Law, but of the grace and faith of Christ. We don't live self-interested lives outside of Christ 6 days a week and then rest on the 7th, but we live God's willed lives (unselfish & caring) 7 days a week. We will enter into God's and Jesus' rest to come after we leave this world. Good thought. Have a good day. Please return to your topic. I will hush now.
So I want to ask doesn't this interfer with JohnRabbits idea of rest. If you only use the English rendition of scripture, I think so. I have dealt with this often.

I think Jesus is that rest spoken of. Otherwise Jesus only offered what they already had. If you read Hebrews you will find this rest Jesus talked about in detail.
