GE: Believing in Jesus Christ one believes ALL 'Law', Old Testament and New. No one but Christ ever 'kept' the Law or any law. Jesus sacrificed no sacrifice; yet He fulfilled every sacrifice. Jesus paid no offerings yet he offered Himself the Satisfaction of all offerings. But Jesus kept the...

GE: Good post! http://www.biblestudents.co.za biblestudents@imaginet.co.za ‘The Lord’s Day in the Covenant of Grace’ By Gerhard Ebersöhn

GE: "My Father WORKS / LABOURS unto this day [the Seventh Day Sabbath of the LORD GOD] and I, WORK / LABOUR [on this very day the Seventh Day Sabbath of the LORD GOD].†Jesus Christ WORKED "TOWARDS / UNTO the day" the Sabbath Day. And He reached AIM and "accomplished" / "finished","all...

GE: ... the 'Torah' Where in Scripture? I may be wrong, but could not find such statement.

GE: 'Shabbath' Hebrew Noun / Greek 'Sabbaton' - "Sabbath", means 'Sabbath Day'; 'Sabbath Day's rest'. It NEVER means 'rest' in the NT. The Sabbath in the OT "... was a shadow of the rest which believers have in Christ." In Colossians 2:16 "Sabbaths-Feast(-of-Christ-the Substance)...

GE Hebrews 1 to 4 NOWHERE speaks about the 'Sabbath' --- 'Sabbath-rest' or 'Sabbath-Day' except in ONE WORD, 'sabbatismos', once, in 4:9, "sabbatism" : the culture of the Sabbath Day purely of MAN'S doing (or neglect). In 4:4 God's speaking and God's doing are referred to and are quoted with...

GE: Neither the "today" cited in 4:7 and "another day after these things" cited in verse 8b, are the Seventh Day cited in verse 4. "Today" has always been the day of salvation-OPPORTUNITY that recurred several times through Old Testament times. But "in these LAST days … God has spoken to...

GE: Re: RRowell, “when his work was done,[/B] on the 7th day he went to his heavenly rest and sits upon his throneâ€. No; God worked here on earth in Eden unto the salvation of Adam and Eve on the Seventh Day that began the Sixth Day “in the cool of day†sunset after, Genesis 3:8...

GE: Re: RRowell, “"keeping the Sabbath" is command that was given to the Jews in the old testament as a day of worship†Yes, dead right. As right as dead … because … “what they did was… they rested from their work†--- useless rest from useless work = ‘old covenant’...

Originally Posted by John 8:32 Heb 4:9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. Grk for rest here is Sabbatismos = a keeping of a Sabbath. GE: "heavenly rest" ... I take a heavenly rest after work in a hot foam bath. Right here on earth. Because 'heaven' is nowhere and...

GE: ... far over my head; and as strange in my ears as rock to Mozart ... e.g., "sabbitical rest" ... What's that? "the Adamic renovation"? "at the close of the Adamic renovation"? "this rest cannot be identical with that from which a whole generation of the Israelites were forever...

GE: If the 'old covenant' were "nailed to the cross", all the old covenanters --- who are all sinners --- had to be nailed to the cross and not Jesus Christ.

GE: I said isn’t it ironic all claim Jesus could restore life for others on the Sabbath and obey the Law; but would take up his own life on the Sabbath and break the Law. You ask, "What law did he break?" So do you agree that He broke a law? Well, I - for one - do not! Re: "the new covenant...

GE: Very strange, I find in my Bible, this that you wrote, "Let no man therefore judge you" --- But try as I may, my Bible just does not have where Paul tells them "they are not binding on the saints, and they were not to be judged for neglecting them". I checked up the Textus...

GE: Quote: "the sabbath ..." =, quote, "... day". Correct. Quote: "the sabbath ..." quote, "... means ...", quote, "... rest". Dichotomy. Hebrews 4:4, "_THE DAY_ the Seventh Day" - LIKE IN THE LAW -, "THE DAY the Seventh Day-Sabbath-of-the-LORD GOD". Consistency.
