Yes, its sad. All of God's commandments are Truth Psa 119:151 as if our perfect Savior could personally write an imperfect law that was against His creation right after He created man in His own image. This is an attack on God's character that sadly people can't seem to see.
So the finger isn't part of the hand?, your just trying to avoid the truth, no one writes with their palm.
If you miss one weekly Sabbath there is no second chance.
No the finger is not the hand. I would like to see man trying to write on stone with their finger. Moses handwrote on paper, God wrote with His finger on tablets of stone, then He wrote His law in our hearts Heb 8:10. You can choose to believe or not believe these scriptures.
The New Covenant is established on better promises Heb 8:6 not established on better or new laws. It still has God's law, just written on a better surface, from tablets of stone Exo 31:18 to tablets of the heart Heb 8:10 2 Cor 3:3 not based on our strength Exo 19:8 but on what God will do Heb 8:10 John 14:15-18 if we cooperate with Him. Why its still a sin to break the least of God's commandments even in the NT 1 John 3:4 Rom 7:7 James 2:10-12 Mat 5:19-30 and hence why Jesus kept and taught them and is our example to follow 1 John 2:6. The main laws that ended were what Moses wrote that was beside the ark that contained the earthy priesthood laws of animal sacrifice and other ceremonial laws that all pointed forward to the sacrifice of Jesus. Heb 10:1-22 What Jesus did not come to do was destroy His law why its still a sin to worship other gods, murder, covet or break His holy Sabbath day. We do not keep these things to save us, we keep them because we love Jesus and want to abide in Him and in order to do this, we must follow how Jesus lived and what He taught. John 15:4-6, 10, 1 John 2:6 Rev 14:12
You can choose not to believe the finger is part of the hand.
I never said it wasn't part of the hand, but its not the same. When I write something on paper I handwrite, I do not write on paper with my finger. Thats why they call it handwriting. Not finger writing. So not the same, look it up, the difference between the finger and the hand.
The Sabbath commandment is not treated any differently than only worshipping God, or lying. James 2:10-12 If we break any of His commandments without repenting and turning from sin Pro 28:13 we have this to look forward to Heb 10:26-30. We are not saved in our sins, Jesus came to save us from sin Mat 1:21 and He lived not just take away the penalty of sin, which we have to confess, repent and turn from, He came to save us from the power of sin and lived to show us the way by example, our example 1 Peter 2:21-22 1 John 2:6. Sadly, not everyone wants to come to the light to God's Truth as we are told John 3:19-21 all of His commandments are Truth Psa 119:151 even the one that God blessed, made holy and told us to Remember, because He knew everyone would forget.
Isn't God writing through the hands of the writers of His word?
This is where understanding the difference of the laws really helps.
What do you think is the habit? Who was making meetings a habit? It is what you quoted Hebrews 10 26-30
Heb 10:26-30 is referring to practiced sin without repenting and turning from
That is a deception "saved in our sins". It's saved from the sins, that the Spirit of grace already knows before anyone commits the first sin.
Are you claiming Jesus broke the Sabbath? This is what the Pharisees accused Jesus of doing and sinning. Are you siding with those who crucified Jesus? Jesus in His own words said He did not. John 8:46-47 John 15:10 Luke 4:16
This is about forgiving sins against each other, I am referring to sin against God. God forgives us every time we repent, but repentance means a change of heart, meaning a change of direction, not doing the same thing.
Hmm that's quite the twist, from forgive those who sin, break a commandment.
Of course, He knows our heart if one is really trying to overcome or not. If we sin willfully, there remains no more sacrifice Heb 10:26
Yes, we have a longsuffering Savior, but there is a limit, just like He did with Israel. He forgave them over and over again, just like He will do for us, but once we have made the decision to stop trying to overcome sin, He will have no choice but to destroy all sin and sinners, its a promise of the bible. Through Christ anything is possible including overcoming sin through His Spirit and keeping His commandments John 14:15-18
So what you are saying is that there is a time limit. Say at 491 times and the deals off?. He Don't care if you believe in Him or not. Sin to much and its over?.
