Ken,Hebrews 4:9 and verses that help with context (ESV):

Heb 4:1 Therefore, while the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us fear lest any of you should seem to have failed to reach it. Heb 4:2 For good news came to us just as to them, but the message they heard did not benefit them, because they were not united by faith with those who…

Ken, Enough of the Sabbath. It has its own thread. This thread is for much more.

Mrs,Actually, since I am not in any church right now, I AM trying to keep the Sabbath. But it is a learning process. Sadly, since I have looked into it, it seems that the majority of those who keep the Sabbath as Jews do (at least the times, not necessarily all the rules) are very arrogant and boastful people. They typically see themselves on a…[Read more]

BTW, there is another reason some like to refer to the 1st day as the Lord's day: it coincides with the 1st day of creation. Since Yeshua is the firstborn of creation, and his new life signifies a new creation, there is another some support the 1st day as “Lord's Day”.

Ken,The Sabbath has become your idol. It is plainly evident. Let me show you your own reasoning.

Quote (kenrch @ Sep. 26 2007,09:03)BUt you are missing a blessing, believe me. Perhaps, but I think you would be very, very hard pressed getting anyone to see that you have been blessed by observing it. Maybe people who know you personally, but for all of the people you have been condemning on here, we would see it as a curse, and not a blessing.…[Read more]

Ken,Again, your all-out obsession with the Sabbath has all but blinded you. This has little to do with the 4th commandment and much to do with determining which commandments are spoken of in the NT. You have stated that it is the Ten Commandments, yet we see all through the Torah that there were many more commandments given to Moses by God. No…[Read more]

Where does it say that we love Him if we keep the commandments that He wrote on stone tablets? The commandments of the Torah came from God too.

Ken,According to wikipedia

The 613 Mitzvot or 613 Commandments (Hebrew: תרי”ג מצוות‎ transliterated as Taryag mitzvot; TaRYaG is the acronym for the numeric value of “613”) are a list of commandments from God in the Torah. Jewish tradition holds that the Torah contains 613 distinct mitzvot.

Look back over the Torah. You will find that there were…[Read more]

Ken,You still have not shown that the commandments spoken of in the NT are the Ten Commandments…so you speak of breaking one (the fourth) while you may yourself be breaking many. Why do you choose to only follow the Ten Commandments?

Other commandments given

Num 4:37  These are the numbered men of the Kohathite families, everyone who was serving in the tent of meeting, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the commandment of the LORD through Moses.Num 10:13  So they moved out for the first time according to the commandment of the LORD through Moses. Num 15:31  'Because he…

Ken,Yes the Ten Commandments were written in stone, and were the covenant with the children of Israel after the Exodus. What of it? This proves nothing in relation to the word “commandments” in the NT. You've still yet to prove it. So are you saying that all of the times Moses said there were other commandments from YHWH, that they weren't really?…[Read more]

Hi Stu,

Mat 11:25 At that time Jesus declared, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to little children; Mat 19:14 but Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.” Joh 13:33 Little…

t8,Just how many times was Jesus called “theos” in the Bible? And how many times was he called “theos” with the article?

I find it interesting that Satan is call “ho theos” in 2 Cor 4:4. That is, “theos” with the article. In other places, this would be translated as “God”, yet we know Satan is not God. So what does this say about the word “theos” as it was used in 1st century Greek?
