Dear Wily. My confliction is the commandments were written in stone thus demonstrating the importance of them. Here are four of them that are not followed at all: Celebrate the Feast of Unleavened bread. Redeem all of your firstborn. Rest on the seventh day. Celebrate the Feast of Weeks. Here is what you worte, "The fact that the Ten Commandments were written upon stone tablets give us a clue as to their importance, compared to everything else. Everything else is not written in stone. There is no incompatibility in applying the Ten Commandments to individuals, regardless of whether they are citizens of Israel or not." You imply that we are all compatible and must adhere to all of the commandments, especially since they were written in stone. If we do not follow these commands we are transgresing the law, aren't we? Doesn't God say that if we break the smallest of these we are guilty of breaking them all? kam |

Hello Kam. Rest on the Sabbath day is the only one from the Ten Commandments. The other 3 are not written in stone. Yes, it is a shame that people do not remember the Sabbath, and thereby miss out on a great benefit from the Creator. Take care. -Wily |

Hi Wily... Unfortunately far too many miss the fact that Christ himself is the Sabbath. And it is in Him and Him alone that we find our rest, not on any particular day. (i.e. Sabbath or Saturday) Col 2:17 things which are a mere shadow of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Christ. Gen 5:29 Now he called his name Noah, saying, "This one will give us rest from our work and from the toil of our hands arising from the ground which the LORD has cursed." Noah is a picture of Christ, Christ in whom we find eternal salvation and eternal rest ( i.e.-Sabbath) Ex 33:14 And He said, "My presence shall go with you, and I will give you rest." God, in the presence of the Holy Spirit, in us, gives us rest (Sabbath) Christ is now our High Priest; in Him we find our eternal rest (Sabbath) He has become the High Priest and the Sacrifice ALL in ONE. He is our all in all! Lev 5:1-19 Etc Etc... Deut 12:10 "When you cross the Jordan and live in the land which the LORD your God is giving you to inherit, and HE "GIVES" you rest from all your enemies around you so that you live in security, (emphasis in caps mine) Rest (i.e.-Sabbath) is an eternal gift of God, in Christ, through the Holy Spirit. The OT is rife with verse on this subject. As is the New. I could go on and on. These are a shadow of things to come. Yes, he is the fulfillment of them and fulfill them He did indeed. John 19:30 Col 2:16 Therefore no one is to act as your judge in regard to food or drink or in respect to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day-- Col 2:17 things which are a mere shadow of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Christ. Matt 11:28 "Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. The Sabbath rest, is a gift of God, when we are in Christ, through the work of the indwelling Holy Spirit. Peace and rest to you in Christ, not just on, one, day in the week, but forever. Now there is a blessing that too many miss! Yes it is a shame indeed, that so many miss out on a great benefit from the Creator. Take care. -John |

Amen Brother John. Thanks for the illumination St.Paul makes also makes an awesome statement in Romans 8, where he declares: "For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. (ROM 8:2-4) Notice that the law was fulfilled in us. Paul is Not saying that it is fulfilled By us. Jesus is the only One who ever fulfilled all of the law. Jesus said, "I do always those things that please the Father." (John 8:29) and He asked the Jews one day, "Which of you convinceth Me of sin?" (8:46) "Which of you can find a fault in Me?" Then said Pilate to the chief priests and [to] the people, I find no fault in this man. (Luk 23:4) Truly we may find rest in Him. Thank you Jesus! Enjoy this 'Lord's Day' keliy |

I really appreciate the encouragement brother. Thank you keliy. Just a side note on that, is that there are some that still think that we can get some kind of special blessing from observing Saturday Sabbath; but they really are misunderstanding and thereby misrepresenting God's Word, and His grace, that He give us freely in the Sacrifice of His Son Jesus. Here is something from, http://www.gotquestions.org/Jesus-Sabbath.html that expounds on this even more, and if you visit that site there is more to be learned on how we are to view the Sabbath rest as Christians. Praise God we no longer are under that hard law, for if we were we would be under the fear of the penalty death for breaking the Sabbath by even picking up a stick for a fire! --"Hebrews 4 is the definitive passage regarding Jesus as our Sabbath rest. The writer to the Hebrews exhorts his readers to “enter in” to the Sabbath rest provided by Christ. After three chapters of telling them that Jesus is superior to the angels and that He is our Apostle and High Priest, he pleads with them to not harden their hearts against Him, as their fathers hardened their hearts against Jehovah in the wilderness. Because of their unbelief, God denied that generation access to the holy land, saying, “They shall not enter into My rest” (Hebrews 3:11). In the same way, the writer to the Hebrews begs them—and us—not to make the same mistake by rejecting God’s Sabbath rest in Jesus Christ. “There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; for anyone who enters God's rest also rests from his own work, just as God did from his. Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will fall by following their example of disobedience” (Hebrews 4:9-11). There is no other Sabbath rest besides Jesus. He alone satisfies the requirements of the Law, and He alone provides the sacrifice that atones for sin. He is God’s plan for us to cease from the labor of our own works. We dare not reject this one-and-only Way of salvation (John 14:6). God’s reaction to those who choose to reject His plan is seen in Numbers 15. A man was found gathering sticks on the Sabbath day, in spite of God’s plain commandment to cease from all labor on the Sabbath. This transgression was a known and willful sin, done with unblushing boldness in broad daylight, in open defiance of the divine authority. “And Jehovah said to Moses, ‘The man shall surely be put to death’” (v. 35). So it will be to all who reject God’s provision for our Sabbath rest in Christ. “How shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation?” (Hebrews 2:3).--" |
