Shabbat (Intent-- not Timing)

It makes even more sense when we translate Abraham's name, Father of peoples (or nations).

why then do you say this:




?


Christ is not a gilded box. but that ark testifies of Him - its entire purpose is to reveal things about Him to us.

is the one commandment that reveals our Creator and His Authority over all heaven and earth that will never change.

Let me give you an example....

The alter of incense in the Holy Place represents our prayers Revelation 8:4 which is part of our salvation in Christ through our relationship, but that does not mean Jesus is an alter. Jesus is not an alter, He is not an ark, He is not the Sabbath- He is the Creator of all things, not the creation.

i didn't say Jesus is a gilded box or a repeated temporal period of ritual inaction.

i said those things are symbols representing Him - He is The Substance, they are shadows.

He is the true ark, the true temple, the true shepherd, the true potter, the true light, the true rest.

you don't think "have no other gods" demonstrates the infinite authority of God over all that is?

why then do you say this:




?


Christ is not a gilded box. but that ark testifies of Him - its entire purpose is to reveal things about Him to us.

The ark is not a shadow, it sits under His mercy seat in His heavenly Temple Rev 11:19 and contains what man will be judged by James 2:10-12 Ecc 12:13-14 Mat 5:19-30 Rev 22:14-15

Prayers are not shadows either.

Good response to the literal words of God to Abraham and Moses.

do you understand that it is a picture of Him?
that the things inside it are also pictures of Him?
that where it was placed was a picture of Him?

It is a sin for someone to commit murder regardless of whether or not they want to follow the law against committing murder, they should understand what it means to commit murder regardless of whether or not they want to follow that law, and the same goes for God's other laws.


It would be unjust to enforce a penalty that Jesus has already paid. Still, the fact that God considers breaking the Sabbath to be worthy of the death penalty and the fact that Jesus gave himself to pay that penalty should make us want to go and sin no more.


Yes.


In Matthew 4:15-23, Jesus began his ministry with the Gospel message to repent for the Kingdom of God is at hand, which was a light to the nations, and the Mosaic Law was how his audience knew what sin is (Romans 3:20), so repenting from our disobedience to it is a central part the Gospel of the Kingdom, which is in accordance with Jesus being sent in fulfillment of the promise to bless us by turning us from our wickedness, which is the Gospel that was made known in advance to Abraham in accordance with the promise (Galatians 3:8), which he spread to Gentiles in Haran in accordance with the promise (Genesis 12:1-5)

In Genesis 18:19, God knew Abraham that he would teach his children and those of his household to walk in God's way by doing righteousness and justice that the Lord may bring to him all that He has promised. In Genesis 26:4-5, God will multiply Abraham's children as the stars in the heaven, to his children He will given all of these lands, and through his children all of the nations of the earth will be blessed because he heard God's voice and kept His charge, His commandments, His statutes, and His laws. In Deuteronomy 30:16, if the children of Abraham will love God with all of their heart by obeying His commandments, statutes, and laws, then they will live and multiply and God will bless them in the land that they go to possess. So the promise was made to Abraham and brought about because he walked in God's way in obedience to His law, he taught his children and those of his household to do that in accordance with spreading the Gospel of the Kingdom that was made known in advance to him, and because his children did that in obedience to the Mosaic Law. In John 8:39, Jesus connected the works that they should be doing with the works that Abraham did, and the works that they should be doing were in obedience to the Mosaic Law. Moreover, there are many verses that describe the Mosaic Law as being God's way, so both Abraham and Moses walked in God's way in obedience to His law and taught others to do that.


Not offering children to Molech isn't mentioned at all in the NT, but that doesn't mean that we are free to do that. The vast majority of people that Jesus interacted with were Jews who were keeping the Sabbath holy, so it is not like we should expect him to go around telling everyone that they need to be keeping it, so it brought up an number of times. In Colossians 2:16-23, the Colossians were keeping God's holy days in obedience to His commands, they were being judged by pagans who were promoting human precepts and teachings, self-made religion, asceticism, and severity to the body, and Paul was encouraging them not to let any man judge them for keeping God's holy days. So it is ironic when people try to use that verse to justify their refusal to keep God's holy days.


What reason do you have for thinking that the Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus is something other than or contrary to what the Father commanded to Moses?


Do not mistake God's patience for permission.


The way to have a relationship with Jesus is not by rejecting God's instructions for how to do that. The command to keep the Sabbath holy is not the command to have a relationship with God one day week.

do you understand that it is a picture of Him?
that the things inside it are also pictures of Him?
that where it was placed was a picture of Him?

The 7th day Sabbath rest is a shadow of God's 7th millennium Sabbath rest for a remnant of Israel and mankind by faith in Christ, when Jesus will rule from Jerusalem for 1,000 years.

You’re not really addressing the scripture. The earthy temple was more than just a picture of Jesus it is the plan of salvation and each piece of furniture represents the blueprint back to Christ.

God’s law is a reflection of His character and the image we are to take on, but it does not change the fact we will be judged by His law James 2:10-12 Mat 5:19-30 Ecc 12:13-14 Rev 22:14-15 and why the Ten Commandments sits in the ark under His mercy seat where justice and mercy will come together.

the reason that the foundation of the Law of the marriage covenant with adulterous Israel is NOT the ten commandments, but two of the 'mere ordinances' you say are of no consequence, being written by Moses, is because the ark is made of wood encased inside and out with gold, then sprinkled with blood.

the purpose of this is to reveal the divine Christ, who became flesh for our sake.
the law was given to lead us to Him, not the other way around, friend. He did not give Himself to put us under the threat of eternal curse, but to set us eternally free.

this is the meaning of sabbath rest

Jesus is 'the plan of salvation'
Jesus is Salvation

i am not sure you are addressing the very purpose of scripture itself.

Of course shadows were before the law.

Please show me? Show me that shadow laws were before sin?

Remember what the shadow laws are...

Col 2:14-17 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; 15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. 16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: 17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.

Gal 3:19 Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.
Gal 3:24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

The laws of gravity and light are important today and they were made in the first 7 day's with all other creation. At this point Transgression has not happened so please show me what shadow laws were added at this point. knowing they would be nailed to the cross....

You put God's grace under law. You need to read what Paul said to the Galatians about that.
