I replied to what you said'If no one is saved by any other means than faith in Jesus, which is true on this side of the cross, than what about those Israelites that walked by faith in God before the cross of Jesus.'
God is outside of time. Time is part of his creation.
He therefore can applied Jesus's salvation to those who have faithfully sort to serve him durring their earthly lives.
They have to live their lifes before he washes them in Jesus's blood.
The comments about the sabeth are relating to thoise who think that Israel is 'holy' because they keep the sabeth.
I do not mean to attempt to be aggressive here but fHg is on target with exactly what the whole of what YHWH´s Holy Scripture says.
I make this statement, standing on a two foot wide, three inch deep Granite Ledge as you, from the solid mountain begin your swing with that thirteen pound Sledge Hammer.
The Scriptures have lost so much with the tampering of men trying to make it easier to comprehend and I sense that you have not been properly instructed on and of your Bible Study Method.
Now, if you will permit, I will add to you possible swing and strike a Rubber Band, about 18 inches broad that is stretched down about ten feet to catch the head as it hangs from the giant 200 ft. tall Spruce Limb. I almost, remember almost, graduated the Eighth Grade before I entered the Service of My Nation at seventeen.
The Lost Man loves that truth and like the foolish humans they are, they swing at the ledge, administering, as they, falsely, perceive, the fatal blow. Not falling, however, I still, from my stupid wheelchair, proclaim what I am given by Ruach, the Holy Spirit.
If folks will ever give up their perception of the, Phony, importance of the Chapter and Verse Division that has been applied to the afore undivided letters to the people that sought and seek to serve YHWH, Yashuah ha'Mashiah through Ruach's leading and pure hearts.
I am not large on the use of the Creeds by Young, Baby nor New Christians but if you will google the Creeds and read some through you will find the early and just missed teaching that Yashuah went to Hell.
With 29 1/2 years of Complete Bible Study I was led of Ruach to understand that Yashuah desended into the Earth, the Grave but afore hand, at His Yielding of His Spirit, appeared in Paradise/Abraham's Buxom to teach the Gospel of the Messiah they served before His Advent.
Now comes Matthew 27:50-60 where we are or should be taught, those Saints, on hearing and on believing Yashuah's Gospel, marched through the Holy City, with all of the Earth shrouded in darkness, as a Live Testament to the Truth/Gospel of our Elohim.
I pray YHWH blesses all truth to your heart.
