That’s so crazy! What’s happening many times is you’re likely exposing their motivation for following God. They don’t know His goodness and kindness so they stress fear to get people to be obedient. It’s like the carrot and the stick, without a true understanding of the goodness of the gospel...

Your error is all through-out your post comments. We don’t follow Jesus to be saved. We follow Him because He’s a good King.

Paul says anything not of faith is sin. Can you find that in the OT? Jesus says you have heard it said, but *I* say to you... and then He proceeded to magnify the 10 Commandments to what we have in our heart... with no mention of the Sabbath only. Jesus said, I give you a *new* commandment...

Excellent question! Sounds like they were surprised by who Jesus was. They were loving on one another as He commanded us to do. But they were surprised when Jesus said - that was Me you did that for, and that for, and that for. And the goats, looking for Jesus, would have taken care of Him if...

You make interesting points, but I don't think that's completely true Studyman. Because the New Covenant actually increased what "sin" is. before it was what we did now it's included what we don't do. As an example, Paul writes anything we do not of faith, for him it is sin. Sin isn't just a...

Yes, I love this Scripture too because my passion is going after unity with Christ. I believe this reshapes our entire gospel. So most of my study is directed more towards what does it mean to be in Christ, walk with Him, etc. But this parable clearly indicates that He identifies with us so much...

Well said. And the most obvious point is when Jesus says in the end times, He compares the sheep and the goats. Sheep took care of one another - which was taking care of Him. Goats didn't - which wasn't loving Him. This is the clearest explanation I've seen of what we are judged by spoken by...

Here’s an interesting thought. The old commandment was to love one another as we love ourselves. But the new one is to love each other as *He* loved us.

This is off topic, but Jesus always did the Will of God. He fished, cooked food for His friends, went to the bathroom, he hung out with friends, he ate and drank with sinners, attended parties, he rode a young colt, he walked on water... His entire life was unto the Father. Even things we...

Great discussion. I used to think these were not of God also, but the Lord showed me (and Scripture agrees) we do all things unto the Lord. Whatever word or deed it is all unto Him. And you’re right I don’t hold one day over any other. Because He has made me holy. So all I do is holy and...

The funny thing about this is, I actually believe believers are held to a higher standard than the 10 Commandments. I used to write about this here in past posts. But I believe disobedience for us is not loving one another. And we are called to do more than not steal, we are called to give...

Yes I have no interest in sin either. His ways are far better and far more satisfying. His goodness and kindness has caused me to desire His ways.

I see it as a day for prayer, study, sharing, helping, etc. as Yahshua did and taught. Thank you for the explanation. I understand you better now. I see this as every day.

That’s fair. Thanks for the discussion. I have no issue that you keep the Sabbath. I hold every moment as my Sabbath in Christ. It’s more that you’re free of the demands of the Law. Because when we are free we can live by faith in Christ, which I agree is living in unity with Him. Following His...

Look out, brothers, lest there be in any of you a wicked heart of unbelief in falling away from the living Father, but encourage one another daily, while it is called “Today,” lest any of you be hardened by the deceivableness of sin. Here’s a direct quote from your Scripture. Notice don’t fall...

Sure, I understand where you’re going. Notice he says, they didn’t enter in because of unbelief? This why people dont enter in Christ. Our true promised land. Also your quote missed some of my post additions.

Okay I’m not going to go off on other Scriptures let’s stay focused on Hebrews 4. Okay so the reason why the writer is saying don’t follow their disobedience is found in v1. He’s afraid people have failed to enter in. To show it’s possible to not enter in he quotes Joshua in v8. He is showing...

Yes the Law still exists, but remember how Jesus says we are no longer slaves, but sons? And as sons we are free? And Paul says that we are no longer subject to the elementary things of this world? The Law was a schoolmaster. You know those Scriptures right? I’m on my phone so it takes longer...

I asked you because in that Scripture v9 it says entering God’s Sabbath is resting from our works, but you’re saying we haven’t entered in yet.

This really curious to me, I mean to me this is so clearly taking about a rest that we can enter in now. For example let’s start with Hebrews 4:1 1Therefore, while the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us fear lest any of you should seem to have failed to reach it. Right in this...
