I agree.The rest we receive from Jesus has to do with not having to run around trying to make ourselves acceptable to God.
Men sin. This is a given whether we "can now" or not.We are acceptable to God in Christ, which brings rest but this does not mean we can now break God's Law.
I basically agree. I sense that the latter is built on principles that are consistent with the former.The fourth commandment sabbath rest and the rest that Jesus gives us are two different words which carry two different thoughts and meanings.
Last Sabbath school I said: We keep the law because we love God
'If you love me you will keep my commands'
therefore if you find it a burden to keep God's commands, dont keep them.
The Sabbath is a beautiful day of rest.
I challenge you to show me this...
To me, the sabbath is not a given day, but entering into His rest. Be blessed.
I view it similarly.

The entire OT and NT speak of the day as a literal day. Not only this but the fourth commandment tells me that my farm animals need to cease labor, as well as, my sons, daughters, servants and strangers. A farm animal can't enter into spiritual rest.
i believe it to be true. I know old adventists who want cook on the Sabbath, to them its not a burden, but something they do because they love God and they think they are doing what is right.I've heard this claim before, but is it actually true?
Do you equate Jesus' statement "keep my commandments" with the concept of "keep the law?"
Is there a person who keeps the law?
If I were to keep the law as it relates to sabbath keeping, what would I do?
OK. I can accept that. And I don't want to rob you of anything that you find beautiful. I am just curious how a person would find the beauty that you see. What would he do?
This is not reffering to the Sabbath day. The Jews celebrated a hell of a lot of days, thats all Paul is talking about.8Formerly, when you did not know God, you were slaves to those who by nature are not gods. 9But now that you know God—or rather are known by God—how is it that you are turning back to those weak and miserable principles? Do you wish to be enslaved by them all over again? 10You are observing special days and months and seasons and years!
Sabbath established at creation? How did you arrive at that conclusion? While the narrative suggests that God rested, there seems to be no directive to Adam or Eve to rest.... there was a directive given to resist the urge to eat from the tree in the middle of the garden, but no directive to rest. It seems that if the Sabbath was established in the garden that the directive would have been issued along with the one about the tree..... do you care to clarify?We have foung the Sabbath to be a delight. Being raised a Baptist/ fundementalist, we watched as Sabbath observers were mocked. In this enviroment the thought of obeying the fourth command never entered my mind. We pass oit Gospel tracts on a regular basis and through that The LORD showed us that Sabbath is a real thing...and we love it.
The thing that sometimes gets over looked is the Yahweh God established Shabbat at creation. It was sanctified from the beginning-Praise God!!!
We believe like the last poster who said it should be a work free, care free day that is why we have our memorial service on Friday evening.
On a different note if anyone sees a character called Duckybill, tell him dugger finally made it here!
We agree that, for the children of Israel, it was a literal day. Per Exodus 31, it was the sign of the covenant between God and Israel. Per 2 Corinthians 3, Hebrews 8 and Galatians 3-4, that covenant no longer exists. Even so, per Hebrews 4, the principle of rest remains.
I suppose I will now hear about how I am uninterested in "truth."

That Sabbath affects our identity is one of the more damaging mythologies in Adventism.
The seventh day of creation is a literal day.
It was blessed, sanctified and called holy even before sin was in the world.
It was created for mankind, not Jewish people.
To this very day we still have a seven day week.
When a person has been born again it's hard for them not to keep the commandments of God because God's Spirit lives inside them.

Yes.
Byfaithalone1; Yes.
For whom?
It was a sign between God and Israel.
To this day, we still have all of the cycles described in Leviticus 23
The whole world is a prisoner to sin. We do that which we do not want to do because sin lives in us. All sin. There is no truth in the man who claims to be without sin.

In the Bible I read....the 7th day of creation IS NOT a literal day, at least NOT LIKE the other six being literal days. The 7th day of creation is NOT identified with 'evening and morning' like the other six days.
For God creation is not a continuous cycle of working six days and resting one day...as was given to Moses at Sinai! When God 'rest' on the 7th day...He is forever 'finished' with His work of 'creating'!
