Well you cant see if you choose to close your eyes and ears to seeing and hearing Gods Word. This is the meaning of Isaiah 6:9-10. You were indeed posted scriptures but you choose not believe them. Fear not there is nothing hidden that shall not be revealed.
You’re going to tell me you can’t see they none of those verses mentions a particular day? The chapter you quoted earlier , Hebrews 4, makes it clear that a particular day isn’t meant. Somehow you can’t see that either. Power of dogma in action.
Nope, just your insistence that this random notion of yours is true despite the lack of any evidence for that in the scriptures you quote.
Well - they aren’t. You are applying some basic notions you have to something they don’t fit. What can be said about that? Not much, really.
Your response here...
Goodness you did not read a single scripture reference now did you. All of them mention the Sabbath. If you did read what you were quoting from you would not have embarrassed yourself here with this post. Lets talk Hebrews 3 and Hebrews 4 happy to also discuss the contexts and scripture detail you are also regarding here. Let me know if you are interested?
Sorry did you say something? I am just hearing more empty words because you have not been left any wiggle room. Sorry we will agree to disagree.
Hey no problem. I will leave all those scriptures shared with you between you and God to work through. If I am right however you certainly have a lot to lose but its your salvation not mine.
Wiggle room about what lol? The verse quoted couldn’t be any clearer, despite your efforts to obfuscate the clear meaning of it.
No need to be coy; let’s have your big reveal. Show me the NT verse that teaches Christians are bound by law to observe the sabbath on one day rather than another. Don’t pretend you don’t know what I’m asking, it’s unseemly.
Basically you are correct. However Christians are not required to keep the OT law, including the Sabbath. Hebrews 4:10 clearly states, "For the one who enters God's rest has also rested from his works, just as God did from his own works.
For starters, god is a fictional creation, invented by humans. Secondly if you are saying you believe what day of the calendar you choose over another is a salvation issue, according to the Bible, you have understood nothing about the Christian religion and you need to go back to the most basic ideas. If you want to understand it, that is.
Sure, and we can argue about why you think a circle is a square or some other total waste of time. You have amply demonstrated that you have no interest in honest discussion of biblical texts. You are only interested in pushing the particular dogma of whatever sect it is you are part of.
Sure it is. You have been listening to lies from Sunday school.
Yes you were left with no wiggle room for your false interpretation of Colossians 2:16 and claims that Gods Sabbath commandment was a shadow law. I think our discussion was a great example of why you should not try and cheery pick scripture out of its contexts and try and build a doctrine around it because by doing this you can come to a wrong interpretation of the scriptures.
Why will you believe? You asked me earlier and said....
In response I posted over 29+ scriptures here that all mentioned the Sabbath. You did not read any of them did you..
Then after you were posted them you said.....
Yet everyone of those scriptures mentioned the Sabbath that you asked for to which I responded..
Tell me why should I waste my time with you any longer. Will you believe if I post you more scripture?
According to the scriptures, Christians are required to keep all of Gods 10 commandments including Gods Sabbath commandment which is one of Gods 10 commandments (see James 2:10-11; 1 John 2:3-4; 1 John 5:2-3; Revelation 12:17; Revelation 14:12; Revelation 22:14; John 14:15; John 15:10). It is Gods 10 commandments in the new covenant that give us the knowledge of what sin is when broken (Romans 3:20; Romans 7:7; 1 John 3:4). Hebrews 4:10 does indeed say that those who enter into Gods rest has also rested from his own works and God did from His own works. However Hebrews 3 and Hebrew 4 are a warning that no one enters into Gods rest if they do not believe and obey what Gods Word says. Now if you look at the scripture context you will see that "Gods rest/His rest/My rest of Hebrews 3:7-19 and Hebrews 4:1-5 is defined as the seventh day Sabbath created from the foundation of the world, while Hebrews 4:9 in the Aramaic says "Therefore it remains for the people of God to keep the Sabbath.
It's ok I will leave you with your sins and unbelief. You can work that out with God some day. I am really not interested in your opinions unbelief in the scriptures but thank you any way. For me only Gods Words are true and we should believe and follow them over the teachings and traditions of men that lead us away from God and His Word into breaking the commandments of God against the very warnings of Jesus in Matthew 15:3-9. Sunday worship as a holy day of rest in honor of the resurrection of Jesus as a replacement for Gods Sabbath commandment is a man-made teaching and traditions that has led many away from God and His Word into breaking the commandments of God. Jesus says those who do this are not worshiping God. Begs the question I guess who should we worship God or man? The scriptures teach God (Acts 5:29; Romans 3:4). There is not a single scripture in all the bible that teaches Gods 4th commandment of the 10 commandments has been abolished and we are now to keep Sunday as a holy day in honor of the resurrection of Jesus. It is you who are caught up with unbelief, dogma and sin. You have proven this in your unbelief in God and His Word that you have already confessed to here. You have been listening to too many lies told you from Sunday school.
Oh well that answers a lot..... you are an unbeliever. That makes a lot of sense. Thanks for being opened and honest. I was wondering why you were finding it so hard to understand plain scripture. You are still lost in your unbelief and sins. You can never know or find God walking this path in life. I pray you will be able to change your mind before your time on earth here is over. I will leave our discussion and your unbelief between you and God.
