SDA Protestant pastors don't want you to know this: 1. The Seventh Day Adventist Protestant denomination was not even thought of by a "man" in Battle Creek, MI until 1863AD, so how can there remotely be any claim back to Jesus Christ or outrageously "Genesis"??? The truth is the SDA Protestant denomination is just another "man made" division of 35,000 and growing divisions stemming from a 1500's "man" Martin Luther. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Seventh-day_Adventist_Church 2. SDA's don't want you to understand in the Book of Daniel it was referencing the Antiochus persecution of the Jews that is thoroughly corroborated in history and the Book of Maccabees. (Dan. 7:25/1 Maccabees 1:41-57, Daniel 9:27/1 Maccabees 1:20-22, Daniel 11:21-45/all of which Antiochus did historically, Daniel 12:6-7/Antiochus persecution lasted 1,335 days) 3. SDA's don't want you to understand in the Book of Revelation the "Beast" (Roman Empire) and the "Harlot" (Jews) have already teamed up to not only kill our Lord (John 19:15), but all the early Church Saints. And yes, the "Beast" (Roman Empire) did in fact "devour" the "Harlot" (Revelation 17:16) with utter destruction of Jerusalem in 70AD as Jesus Christ accurately predicted in Matthew 24:34 or within one "generation" (40 years) of His prophecy. 4. SDA's don't want you to understand the old covenant Jews never ever separated the 10 Commandments from all 613 Commandments: www.jewfaq.org/m/613.htm Per Jewish law and the Word of GOD Galatians 5:3-4 ***"I testify again to every man who receives circumcision that he is bound to keep the whole law. You are severed from Christ, you who would be justified by the law; you have fallen away from grace."*** 5. SDA don't want you to understand we get "born again" (John 3:5) through the NEW ADAM OF OBEDIENCE Jesus Christ (Romans 5:12-21, 6:3-13, 7:6, 8:2, 10:4, Galatians 2:19-20, 3:19-25, 4:19-31, 5:18) to live in the "Spirit of the Law" being the NEW COVENANT COMMANDMENT of "LOVE" (John 13:34, 15:12, 15:17, Romans 7:6, 8:2) or "Law of Christ" (1 Corinthians 9:21, Galatians 6:2) that fulfills ALL the old covenant laws (Romans 13:8, 10, Galatians 5:14) and we actually become part of the NEW CREATION (2 Corinthians 5:17, Hebrews 8:13, Galatians 6:15). 6. SDA'S don't want you to know about GOD'S promise to "end" all the old Jewish covenant "Harlot Sabbaths" per Hosea 2:11, Lamentations 2:6, 2:9, Luke 16:16, 2 Corinthians 5:17, Galatians 3:19-25, Hebrews 8:13. And, what day all the Leviticus Chapter 23 "forever" feasts point to - being "the day after Sabbath" as the NEW COVENANT PASSOVER (Luke 22:19) fulfills all these old covenant "shadow" feasts (Hebrews 10:1) . 7. SDA'S don't want you to know about the NEW COVENANT PRIESTHOOD or Levi covenant promise (Jeremiah 33:14-22, Malachi 2:4-7, 3:3) where GOD said He would take in "some" Gentile "priests" fulfilling Isaiah 66:18-21 prophecy - necessitating a "change" in the law to allow "some" Gentile priests: Hebrews 7:12 "For when there is a change in the priesthood, there is necessarily a change in the law as well." 8. SDA's don't want you to know the power of being baptized through the NEW ADAM (Romans 5:12-21) Jesus Christ and how we are no longer "under" old covenant worship laws (Romans 6:14-15, 7:6, 7:10-11, 8:2, 10:4, 1 Corinthians 9:20-21, 2 Corinthians 3:3-11, 5:17, Galatians 3:19-25, 4:21-31, Hebrews 7:12, 8:13) and instead in a state of "GRACE" as long as we remain Holy. 9. SDA's don't want you to know that you can actually "FALL FROM GRACE" when you deliberately sin (Hebrews 10:26-27, 29). How you will need the "power" the ONE MEDIATOR Jesus Christ gave to His ONE and ONLY established Church being the ONE HOLY CATHOLIC AND APOSTOLIC CHURCH per John 20:23 and Matthew 16:18 to be reconciled with GOD again - in order to be back in a state of "GRACE" or "SAVED" through the Sacrament of Reconciliation. 10. SDA's don't want you to understand there is a NEW COMMAND in the NEW COVENANT (John 13:34, 15:12, 15:17) of "GRACE" (Romans 6:14-15, Galatians 5:18). What does LOVE do??? (Romans 13:8, 10, Galatians 5:14). Ever wonder why the Ten Commandments were written on "two" tablets of stone??? 1. LOVE of GOD fulfills the first three commandments 2. LOVE of NEIGHBOR fulfills the remaining seven commandments. LOVE FULFILLS THE LAW and elevates the old covenant laws to perfection and serve as a reminder of what will happen if we are unloving and "FALL FROM GRACE" (Hebrews 10:29). 11. SDA's want you to believe "breaking bread" is just another Jewish meal instead of the transformation of the old covenant "forever" GOD commanded Passover (Exodus 12:14) into the NEW COVENANT PASSOVER (Luke 22:19). How we must eat the "Lamb of GOD" for "death to truly Passover" (John 6:4, 54-58). 1 Corinthians 10:16-17. All Catholics "participate in" the ONE SACRIFICE of Jesus Christ the "Lamb of God" and in consuming His ONE BODY (John 6:55) in the "Marriage Supper of the Lamb" we truly "BECOME HIS ONE BODY", "the Church" a "Temple" holding the fulfilled forever liturgically commanded "Bread of the Presence" (Levicticus 24:5-9, Matthew 24:20): www.therealpresence.org/eucharst/father/a5.html May GOD open your eyes to these Biblical and historical truths that the ONE and ONLY established Church of Jesus Christ is and forever will be the ONE HOLY CATHOLIC AND APOSTOLIC CHURCH (Matthew 16:18).

**GOD wants to be worshipped HIS WAY no longer in an old covenant Jewish way and definately not in 35,000 and growing Protestant "man made" Golden Calf ways.*** BIBLICAL “FOREVER” COMMANDS OF WORSHIP Does your Church meet the “forever” historical link all the way back to Judaism when Jesus Christ died on the cross, and from that point on until this very day celebrate the fulfillment of these “forever” liturgical worship commands of GOD in their “perfected” NEW COVENANT FORM? 1. Passover Feast (Exodus 12:14, 24) Jesus during the “Last Supper” transformed the “forever” GOD commanded Passover by replacing the lamb with Himself in all the Gospel accounts. (Jesus is described as the “Lamb of GOD” in John 1:29, 1 Peter 1:19, and in 1 Corinthians 5:7 “Christ, our Passover Lamb, has been sacrificed for us”) In the OT, everyone celebrating the Passover Feast was commanded by GOD to eat the meat of the lamb for death to “Passover”. Could a Hebrew or later practicing Jew only “symbolically” eat the lamb and obey GOD??? Jesus was being liturgically consistent with the original “forever” OT Passover commands to “eat the meat of the lamb” culminating in His “hard” teaching in John 6:53-54: “Truly, Truly, I say to you, UNLESS you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, YOU DO NOT HAVE LIFE IN YOU. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood HAS ETERNAL LIFE”. NEWPASSOVER(CCC#611,13391340) www.salvationhistory.com/studies/lesson/the_paschal_mystery_how_jesus_celebrated_fulfilled_the_passover 2. Day of Atonement (Leviticus 16:30-33) CC has the altar and gives out the atoning blood provided by the “eternal” High Priest Jesus fulfilling Leviticus 17:11 “For the LIFE OF THE FLESH IS IN THE BLOOD, and I HAVE GIVEN IT FOR YOU UPON THE ALTAR TO MAKE ATONEMENT FOR YOUR SOULS; for it is THE BLOOD THAT MAKES ATONEMENT, by REASON OF THE LIFE” (CCC 616,623) www.salvationhistory.com/studies/lesson/jesus_and_the_day_of_atonement 3. Tabernacle Feast (Leviticus 23:41-42) CC has the Tabernacle and fulfills this feast within the Mass. (CCC #1183,1090) www.salvationhistory.com/studies/lesson/tabernacles_old_testament_feast_and_eucharistic_fulfillment 4. Unleavened Bread Feast (Exodus 12:17) CC has “7 days” a week unleavened bread (CCC#1334) www.salvationhistory.com/studies/lesson/the_mystery_of_the_feast_of_unleavened_bread 5. Sanctuary Lamp (Exodus 27:20-21) CC has this burning constantly before the Tabernacle. 6. Tabernacle Candles (Leviticus 24:2-4) CC has special candles placed next to the Tabernacle as commanded (CCC #1154, 1189) 7. Tabernacle Bread of the Presence (Leviticus 24:5-9, Exodus 25:30) Jesus Christ becomes the true fulfilled “Bread of the Presence” during the Mass consecration. (CCC #1378) 8. Leviticus Priesthood (Exodus 29:7-9, Exodus 40:15, 1 Chronicles 23:13, *Numbers 25:12-13, *Jeremiah 33:14-22, *Isaiah 66:21, Malachi 2:4-7, Malachi 3:3) Jesus fulfills the Levi Covenant promise by ordaining and reconciling the 12 apostles (tribes) for priesthood in the Upper Room to “do this in remembrance of me” (CCC #611, 1337). Proof? John 13:1-20 Jesus prior to His passion washes and “purifies” the Apostles to prepare them for priestly altar work (fulfilling Malachi 3:3 and the “forever” priest washing in Exodus 30:21). Like OT “Forever” Feasts, a Leviticus form of priesthood has to preside at the altar of sacrifice, be washed, and ultimately has to abstain or be celibate to even touch the “Bread of the Presence” (CCC # 1541-2) Jesus is the “pure offering” presented by the priesthood through “daily” Mass across the world fulfilling Malachi 1:11 prophesy. 9. Priest Washing (Exodus 30:21) CC Priests complete a washing before consecration (CCC #1337) 10. Priestly Share (Numbers 18:22-23) CC Priests are the first partakers of the Holy Eucharist, and receive offerings to the Church (CCC #2043) 11. Animal Sacrifice (Leviticus 7:36-38; Deuteronomy 12:26-28, Exodus 29:42) Jesus is the described fulfillment “Lamb of GOD” (John 1:29 and 1 Corinthians 5:7) (CCC #608, 613) 12. Grain Offering (Leviticus 6:9-11; 23:13-14) CC has bread and wine offering from parishioners brought up to the priests and the altar. (CCC #1334, 1350) 13. Incense Burning (Exodus 30:8) CC Mass celebrate with incense on various occasions. (CCC #1154) 14. Sabbath - Mark 2:28, Matthew 12:8, Luke 6:5 “For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath”. The day our Risen Lord showed us what to do in Luke 24:13-35 and “how He was made known to them in the breaking of the bread”. The risen Jesus obeys His Heavenly Father's "perpetual" celebration command being on "the day after Sabbath" per Leviticus 23:11-14, Pentecost 15-21, and verse 39 Tabernacle Feast being the “First day” and “Eighth Day” which is one in the same SUNDAY or “First Day of the Week”. CC follows our Risen Lord’s lead with “breaking of bread” or celebrating the “forever” NEW COVENANT PASSOVER on Sundays. CC even fulfills Jesus’s “Our Father” prayer “give us this day our daily bread” (Jesus compared Himself to OT manna in John 6:31-35) by providing the NEW COVENANT PASSOVER “daily”. The Hebrew word “olam” or English translations “forever, everlasting, or perpetual” was clearly understood by the Jewish people as they still are “forever” obeying GOD’s liturgical commands and celebrating a form of the original Passover, Unleavened Bread, Day of Atonement, and Tabernacle Feasts to this very day. JESUS CHRIST IS THE NEW ADAM (Romans 5:12-21) making us part of the NEW CREATION ( 2 CORINTHIANS 5:17, GALATIANS 6:15) to enter into the NEW HEAVEN AND NEW EARTH of worship (Isaiah 66:18-23).NEW ADAM + NEW CREATION + NEW HEAVEN AND NEW EARTH = NEW SABBATH (Pentecost is "forever" GOD commanded on what "day" in Leviticus 23:15 with a day of rest in verse 21??? Hebrews 4:7-9??? "HE AGAIN SETS A CERTAIN DAY ” AND “ GOD WOULD NOT SPEAK LATER OF ANOTHER DAY " ). So, if the Church was "born" on Pentecost through the "same day" the NEW ADAM was resurrected on, then what "day" would we get "reborn" (John 3:5) on to "LIVE in the "Spirit of the law" (Romans 8:2) being LOVE (John 13:34) of the NEW COVENANT???

@@OperationReapSinners777 , Sure. JESUS CHRIST AS THE NEW MOSES One cannot even remotely understand the NEW COVENANT without properly understanding the old covenant, i.e. all the other various covenants (Adam, Noah, Abraham, Mosaic, David, Levi), and all the covenant promises being “fulfilled” by Jesus Christ. Are you aware Jesus was prophesized to be a NEW MOSES? Deuteronomy 18:18. Leading a NEW EXODUS like Moses through “water (Baptism) and Spirit (Laying of Hands)” John 3:5 fulfilling Ezekiel 36:25-27 prophecy being “reborn” no longer liturgically bound by the old “written” covenant law (Baptism is per Romans 6:3-13 and explained in Romans 7:6)??? Establishing a NEW ISRAEL by choosing “12 Apostles” to represent the “12 Tribes” and gathering them all into the “NEW HEAVEN AND NEW EARTH” where “ALL MANKIND” can come to worship Him (both Jew and Gentile alike) fulfilling Isaiah 66:22-23 prophecy??? Through Jesus Christ the NEW ADAM (Romans 5:12-18) we become part of the NEW CREATION (2 Corinthians 5:17, Galatians 6:15) as “adopted” sons and daughters of GOD (Galatians 4:4-7)??? How like Moses Jesus went up on a mountain and gave us NEW LAW in the NEW COVENANT that “fulfill” (Matthew 5:17, Romans 13:8, 10, Galatians 5:14), elevate and “perfect” the old covenant laws (Matthew 5:1-12 and especially John 13:34, 15:12, 15:17, 1 Corinthians 9:21, Galatians 6:2)??? Aware that Jesus Christ transformed the Exodus 12:14 “forever” GOD commanded passover in the upper Room in the “Last Supper” into the NEW COVENANT PASSOVER (Luke 22:19-20) replacing the lamb in all the Synoptic Gospel accounts (Matthew 26:26-28, Mark 14:22-24, Luke 22:19-20) with Himself by becoming the “Lamb of GOD” (John 1:29, 1 Corinthians 5:7, 1 Peter 1 :19) for “Death to Passover” (John 6:54)??? Giving us a NEW SABBATH as the NEW COVENANT PASSOVER "fulfills" all the Leviticus 23 "forever" GOD commanded Feasts that point to what "day" in Leviticus 23:11,15 and verse 21 "on the same day" with a “day of rest”, and verse 39??? Further, see “AGAIN HE SET A CERTAIN DAY” and “another day” per Hebrews 4:7-9 with what conclusion in verse 9??? Aware that Jesus gave us a NEW PRIESTHOOD as He fulfilled His Father’s “forever” WORD (Exodus 29:7-9, Exodus 40:15, 1 Chronicles 23:13), covenant promise to Levi (Numbers 25:12-13, Malachi 2:4-7), and NEW COVENANT PROMISE (Jeremiah 33:14-22) to take in some “Gentile” priests (Isaiah 66:21) so it will no longer be based on tribal lineage??? Are you aware an old covenant Jew could not go directly to GOD to receive His forgiveness for his personal sins??? Leviticus 5:5-6 and Numbers 5:5-9. The same is true in the NEW COVENANT as the ONE MEDIATOR gave what “power” to His Church in Matthew 16:19, 18:18 and specifically stated to newly certain ordained “men” in John 20:21-23??? Aware Jesus Christ gave His very self to us as the NEW MANNA in the Holy Eucharist (John 6:31-35) to sustain us until we reach the NEW PROMISED LAND (Heaven)??? Doubts about the “real presence” of Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist??? If the old covenant is a mere “shadow” of the revelation in Jesus Christ (Hebrews 10:1), then what do you believe the “forever” liturgically GOD commanded “Bread of the Presence” (Exodus 25:30, Leviticus 24:5-9) becomes in the NEW COVENANT???

[@onetruefaith5750]

@@OperationReapSinners777 , This one keeps getting deleted by SDA false teachers and followers. I wonder why??? Just in case there was any confusion over the NEW MOSES post. The Catholic Church "SUPPORTS ALL COMMANDMENTS"!!! AGAIN, THE CATHOLIC CHURCH SUPPORTS ALL COMMANDMENTS OF GOD!!! ***There are two stages (old covenant laws and NEW COVENANT COMMANDMENT) or two steps to GOD’S REVEALED LAWS.**** The 10 Commandments are the "forever" immutable and immovable first step of GOD'S LAW. It will "forever" be convicting the WORLD of the need for the "sacrifice" of Jesus Christ to be "forgiven" or "released" through Baptism (Romans 6:3-13) into "NEW LIFE OF THE SPIRIT" (Romans 7:6, 8:2) to live in the "Spirit of the Law" which is LOVE (John 13:34) of the "second step" of revealed Law towards Heaven. NEW HEAVEN AND NEW EARTH (Isaiah 66:18-23), NEW CREATION (2 Corinthians 5:17, Galatians 6:15), NEW ADAM (Romans 5:12-21, 1 Corinthians 15:22, 15:45), NEW STAGE, NEW STEP, NEW COMMANDMENT IN THE NEW COVENANT IS LOVE (John 13:34, 15:12, 15:17) = NEW SABBATH (Hebrews 4:7-9). Additionally, the NEW COVENANT PASSOVER (Luke 22:19) “fulfills” all of the “forever” Leviticus Chapter 23 Feasts that are commanded on what “day” per Leviticus 23:11-14, 15-21, and verse 39 with a commanded “day of rest”??? All the Feast dates you say??? Moot point as the Catholic Church celebrates the NEW COVENANT PASSOVER “daily” as Jesus Christ compared Himself to the old covenant “manna” that came down “daily” per John 6:31-35. Now back to the Laws, as a NEW COVENANT CHRISTIAN (Catholic) not only can I still break the old laws of the immovable and immutable first step or stage of law, but the second step or second stage of revealed LAW refusing to LOVE as Jesus Christ commands (John 13:34). ***I can commit sins of "commission" by "morally" breaking the old covenant laws (10 Commandments) and sins of "omission" not LOVING AS CHRIST DID.**** What "fulfilled" means is I am no longer "liturgically" bound to worship by the old covenant (Hebrews 8:13) through Jesus Christ's "sacrifice", but still "morally" REQUIRED TO FOLLOW THE 10 COMMANDMENTS AS IT IS THE FIRST STAGE OF GOD'S LAWS THAT ARE "FOREVER" IMMUTABLE AND IMMOVABLE LAWS. Do you understand??? I am to "die" to my old "fleshly" sinful self to be "born again" and "LIVE IN THE SPIRIT". John 3:3-6. Verse 6 "THAT WHICH IS BORN OF THE FLESH IS FLESH, THAT WHICH IS BORN OF THE SPIRIT IS SPIRIT". If I don't choose to "LIVE IN THE SPIRIT" of the Law of the second step up, then what does Romans 8:13 say about that specifically or Hebrews 10:26 what happens to Jesus Christ's "sacrifice" if I “deliberately sin”??? Welcome to Matthew 5:17 paraphrase "I DID NOT COME TO ABOLISH, BUT FULFILL" which means to elevate and "perfect" the old laws or first stage of revealed law. Sin??? ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS WILL BREAK YOURSELF AGAINST THE 10 COMMANDMENTS IF YOU FALL BACKWARDS INTO SIN AND HIT THAT “FIRST STEP” OF REVEALED LAW AND “MUCH WORSE” PER HEBREWS 10:29. Ultimately, in the NEW COVEANNT we have a NEW ADAM (Jesus Christ), NEW HEAVEN AND NEW EARTH (Catholic Church where “all mankind” both Jew and Gentile alike can worship Him), NEW CREATION, NEW LAW = NEW SABBATH!!!

Ironic. Everyone forgets the only commandment that begins with “remember.”

[@ErikTheCooky]

@Mike Flanagan What are you even talking about? seriously? The only thing i agree on is i have no clue of what you speak of. Adventists believe in Jesus Christ, you're making it sound like we don't and are stuck on the old testament. We read the bible as we would any other book in existence from start to finish, which includes the new covenant. So i really don't understand how you interpreted 7th day Adventist believe they're without sin or we congratulate ourselves pridefully. I keep the 7th day holy for the same reason i don't commit murder, because it is a law from God and he stated in Luke 16:17 ESV - "But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one dot of the Law to become void." So we do believe in Jesus and we do believe the ONLY way to be saved is through God's grace through Jesus Christ, not by avoiding sin.

It seems like you're missing the tie. We do believe we are sinner. We do believe not following the law is death! BUT you're missing the point where we believe Jesus died on the cross to gift us God's grace to escape what we deserve, which is death.

@Mike Flanagan Our profit is Jesus, I follow the law because as humans we just make up our own law which we can mistake for good. If you do not want to follow God's law i can't force you. I do walk with the Holy Spirit which keeps me away from sin. "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 Meekness, temperance" Yeah i agree, you can't have those things without the law. You can't kill someone have have peace, or use God's name in vain and have faith.

@@dwayneoneil689 Yes, the just shall live by faith, but where does it say that we have no kind of obligation to keep the law? It is not because we can work our way to righteousness that we keep the law. It is because Jesus told us: John 14:15-17 If ye love me, keep my commandments. (16) And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; (17) Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. Jesus and the Father are one (united in nature, purpose and character under the Godhead): John 10:30 I and my Father are one. Matthew 11:27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him. Matthew 12:50 For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother. Luke 2:49 And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business? John 5:19 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise. John 5:30 I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me. John 8:28 Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things. John 10:36-38 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God? (37) If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. (38) But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him. John 12:49-50 For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. (50) And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak. John 14:6-7 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. (7) If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him. John 14:24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me. John 17:11 And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are. Jesus kept all His Father's Commandments. He never spoke a word that was not from the Father and always did the things that pleased him. He did as we should do, that we should fully depend on Him to keep the commandments just as He fully depended on His Father to keep the commandments. We keep them out of love: John 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments. John 14:21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. 1 John 5:1-4 Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him. (2) By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments. (3) For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. (4) For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. 2 John 1:6 And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it. We are to walk as Jesus walked: (1 John 2:3) And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. (1 John 2:4) He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. (1 John 2:5) But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. (1 John 2:6) He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked. At the same time, there are references to the remnant people of God at the end of time keeping them: (Revelation 12:17) And the dragon (devil) was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. (Revelation 14:12) Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. The Faith of Jesus and the commandments of God are especially connected to one another. Remember that Jesus is the same today yesterday and forever: (Hebrews 13:7) Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation. (Hebrews 13:8) Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. (Malachi 3:6) For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. (1 John 1:5) This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. James 1:13-17 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: (14) But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. (15) Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. (16) Do not err, my beloved brethren. (17) Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. 1 Corinthians 14:33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints. It would be strangely contradictory if Jesus could decide to disobey his own ten commandments that He wrote with His finger. Jesus is the I AM of the old testament: Exodus 3:14 And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. John 8:57-58 Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? (58) Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. (and proceeded to attempt to stone Him for saying He was God) Even in the genesis account of Eden, they have not seen the Father at any time: (John 6:46) Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father. Jesus is the one who instigated the writing of the ten commandments on mount Sinai. It is how we have the English expression, 'it is written (or set) in stone.' Which means that it is not to change at any time. These are commandments of Love.

[@LoCoWi]

theresa flynn In christian concern and love, I need to ask, why are you so gullible in believing the Roman Catholic Church changed the sabbath to sunday? Why why why!? Why would you believe any thing that comes from Roman Catholicism as a truth. Just because they make a 'truth' claim doesn't make it 'truth'. The RCC are 100% false in claiming they changed the sabbath to sunday. Sunday was used by christians before the RCC was even officially a organization. Search the truth in this matter. Even early 2nd century writings of christians state that the sabbath was the seventh day while the Lord's Day is sunday, with the resurrection being the motive for it's (1st day of the week) use. It's soooo easy today to find this information. These 2nd century documentation refutes the Roman Catholic Church in this matter. Don't believe them!

[@twocoolcats2770]

They changed no law. There is no law that says what day you must worship. In fact, you mean you can't or won't worship on any day but Saturday? Man you must be quite angry on the other days. And Islam? They worship on Friday. They consider saturday to be the first day of the week...or do you just despise catholics? The pope never ruled the world. In fact, the pope has zero influence in the world. India, china, all muslim countries...could give a rat's behind about the pope. But we fall over a man like he's special. 80% of the world could care less....and china has banned the pope. Yes... BANNED the pope. Why are adventists so ripe for decpetion? Oh yeah. They were deceived in 1843-1844 THREE TIMES! They have a lousy track track record. At one time, the adventist church did not believe in the Trinity. So? Does that make the adventist church today evil? Judge no one so you yourself will not be judged.

I liked the debate between Doug Batchelor and Steve Gregg. Both were very passionate in their beliefs and presentations. I will continue to seek out what is required of me from the Lord, through prayer. As for now, I will rest from working on the Sabbath, and worship Jesus on Sunday as this is familiar to me. I come from a Southern Baptist tradition, however, I see that the Sabbath is on Saturday, not Sunday. I do work alternating weekends as an hospital employee and have no choice but to work on Friday nights/Saturday mornings at least twice a month. Otherwise, I don't do house work or yard work on the Sabbath. I listen to Doug Batchelor on Sunday mornings followed by David Jeremiah, then I attend different churches for fellowship. So, whether or not I am judged least or great in the kingdom of God, I am glad I belong to Jesus. I will do my best to keep his commandments out of love and not salvation (works), for it is my belief that I am saved by his Grace alone. My faith will always be in Jesus. Still a work in progress as their is much for me to yet learn.

No where in the word of God says to keep sunday holy, it was established as the mark of the papal authority as they claim themselves. It will be the mark of the beast power when established and enforced by law. Look up the sunday blue laws and see for yourself. The sabbath was made holy, not the first day. Dont let traditions of man take your crown, be faithful to God only. You have been given the light on this subject, make a stand for God because sunday is satans counterfiet sabbath and if you found counterfiet money in your wallet and recognized it you would toss it in the trash. Satan wants people to keep sunday because they then break GODS commandment and the bible says if you break one , you have broken them all. Sitting on the fence is like the bible verse saying God wants us iether hot or cold otherwise he will spew us out of his mouth. I hope you make the right choice and out of love for God, obey him.

I find it interesting that Steve says he keeps the Sabbath seven days a week (every day) and yet he disagrees with keeping the Sabbath once a week, on the Seventh day, because the Law has been abolished. So it's legalism to worship God on the day He asked to be a special day, but okay to do it 7 days a week? He's doing what he claims shouldn't be done, 7 days a week! And if he's keeping the Sabbath all week, when does he work? Very inconsistent.

If Jesus put an end to the Sabbath then why did He Himself keep the Sabbath? Luke 4:16 NKJV. So He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up. And His custom was, He went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read. My point is this, if Jesus kept the Sabbath as His custom I too should do the same.

[@livingisresting]

Gregg shared how John records that Jesus broke the Sabbath. What we need to recognize though is that Jesus never broke the spirit of the Law. He lived and moved in Rest, doing only what He heard and saw the Father doing. Total trust: and I believe He was refreshed with the Father in the morning hours. This was His daily bread and He abided in the Father. That was His rest. He was demonstrating the fulfillment of the law: how to abide in the peace of the Father.

[@eddiehill2112]

livingisresting But remember, there is a DOING that Christ demonstrated in obedience to God's commandments. He did NOT exclude the physical fulfilment for the spiritual, but let the spiritual drive his physical performance of righteousness. For instance, he was baptized, LITERALLY, to "fulfill all righteousness". He did NOT just confess conversion, but modelled for us our need to actually DO, and not be hearers only. FAITH works, as demonstrated by Paul and by Jesus. He actually went to the synagogue on Sabbath, and kept it, not according to the Pharisees, but according to God. He was without sin, as he never ever actually committed sin. He NEVER transgressed, he never acted outside the will of God, never ommitted any duty and spiritualized away ACTUAL compliance. Tit2v11 says WE can too, under grace.

Out-of-doors With the Children-The parents may take their children outdoors to view God in nature. They can be pointed to the blooming flowers and the opening buds, the lofty trees and beautiful spires of grass, and taught that God made all these in six days and rested on the seventh day and hallowed it. Thus the parents may bind up their lessons of instruction to their children, so that when these children look upon the things of nature, they will call to mind the great Creator of them all. Their thoughts will be carried up to nature's God-back to the creation of our world, when the foundation of the Sabbath was laid, and all the sons of God shouted for joy. Such are the lessons to be impressed on the minds of our children. CG 533.3 We are not to teach our children that they must not be happy on the Sabbath, that it is wrong to walk out-of-doors. Oh, no.

[@edaguirre8952]

THE TRUTH ABOUT THE SABBATH The Sabbath Day begins at sundown on Friday and ends at sundown on Saturday. Therefore, the Lord Jesus Christ rose on THE FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK. Question: "Do Christians have to observe the Sabbath day?" Answer: It is often claimed that “God instituted the Sabbath in Eden” because of the connection between the Sabbath and creation in Exodus 20:11. Although God’s rest on the seventh day (Genesis 2:3) did foreshadow a future Sabbath law, there is no biblical record of the Sabbath before the children of Israel left the land of Egypt. Nowhere in Scripture is there any hint that Sabbath-keeping was practiced from Adam to Moses. The Word of God makes it quite clear that Sabbath observance was a special sign between God and Israel: “The Israelites are to observe the Sabbath, celebrating it for the generations to come as a lasting covenant. It will be a sign between me and the Israelites forever, for in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day he abstained from work and rested” (Exodus 31:16-17). In Deuteronomy 5, Moses restates the Ten Commandments to the next generation of Israelites. Here, after commanding Sabbath observance in verses 12-14, Moses gives the reason the Sabbath was given to the nation Israel: “Remember that you were slaves in Egypt and that the Lord your God brought you out of there with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm. Therefore the Lord your God has commanded you to observe the Sabbath day” (Deuteronomy 5:15). God’s intent for giving the Sabbath to Israel was not that they would remember creation, but that they would remember their Egyptian slavery and the Lord’s deliverance. Note the requirements for Sabbath-keeping: A person placed under that Sabbath law could not leave his home on the Sabbath (Exodus 16:29), he could not build a fire (Exodus 35:3), and he could not cause anyone else to work (Deuteronomy 5:14). A person breaking the Sabbath law was to be put to death (Exodus 31:15; Numbers 15:32-35). An examination of New Testament passages shows us four important points: 1) Whenever Christ appears in His resurrected form and the day is mentioned, it is always the first day of the week (Matthew 28:1, 9, 10; Mark 16:9; Luke 24:1, 13, 15; John 20:19, 26). 2) The only times the Sabbath is mentioned from Acts through Revelation, the occasion is Jewish evangelism, and the setting is usually a synagogue (Acts chapters 13-18). Paul wrote, “To the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might win Jews” (1 Corinthians 9:20). Paul did not go to the synagogue to fellowship with and edify the saints, but to convict and save the lost. 3) After Paul states, “From now on I will go to the Gentiles” (Acts 18:6), the Sabbath is never again mentioned. And 4) Instead of suggesting adherence to the Sabbath day, the remainder of the New Testament implies the opposite (including the one exception to point 3, above, found in Colossians 2:16). Looking more closely at point 4 above will reveal that there is no obligation for the New Testament believer to keep the Sabbath,

[@edaguirre8952]

@Mike Flanagan Thanks. So right.

[@edaguirre8952]

@@iscezbal8 Jesus, Lord of the sabbath and Mediator of the New Testament, chose not to give the 4th commandment because it was ceremonial, not a moral law, and pointed to him (Colossians 2:16,17). In the next verse Paul advises Christians about judgmental sabbath keepers. It's a ritual with lambs as noted in Numbers 28:9,10. It is an abrogated Hebrew ritual law that pointed to Christ and has nothing to do with the gospel and the gentiles. The commandments of God are the commandments of Christ of which the sabbath is EXCLUDED. The sabbath is a dead work now. Trying to keep it is living under the Old COVENANT and staring down the New stepping on the grace of Christ. Sabbath keepers willed Jesus to be murdered. They murdered Stephen and stoned Paul. Adding to this significance, according to Andrew SDA whistleblower, adventist hospitals have performed thousands of abortions, murdering preborn children. The sabbath keepers are still murdering to this day. What a shame. This sabbarian institution has blood on its hands. Pastor and author Billy Crone says SDA is an insidious cult.

Hebrews 7: 12 For the priesthood being changed, of necessity there is also a change of the law. => New Covenant believers have died to the Mosaic law and are under a new law now. Let´s find out about this new law. Colossians 2:16 So let no one judge you in food or in drink, or regarding a festival or a new moon or sabbaths, 17 which are a shadow of things to come, but the substance is of Christ. Colossians 3:12 Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering => In the new covenant it is not about outward things like diet or special days, but about love and holiness.

The word sabbath comes from a root word meaning to cease, desist. The idea is not that of relaxation or refreshment, but of cessation from activity. It was a word used in regard to the observation of the seventh day of the week (our Saturday) which God enjoined upon Israel. It was based upon the fact that after the sixth day of creation, God rested on the seventh (Ex. 31:16,17). This day of rest had special significance to the Hebrews since for over four hundred years they had been in Egyptian bondage, during which time they never had a day of rest.

The only day that God called His own is the 7th day. Sunday worshippers will fight tooth and nail to preserve Sunday worship, but why wont they fight hard to keep the biblical Sabbath?

Today we must teach men to observe all things that Jesus commanded His apostles, for Jesus possesses all religious authority (Matthew 28:18,20).

GOD AND THE SABBATH JESUS was only sent to the Jews or Israel as noted in Matthew 15:24. They alone were given the Sabbath commandment in the law. This is proven in Exodus 31:17 where the sabbath was a sign only to Israel. The Lord of course met with the Jews on the sabbath day, because HE WAS A JEW. He gave no commandment to keep the sabbath day. Ellen White told her followers to keep the sabbath day, and that conflicts with the Lord Jesus Christ. The sabbath pointed to Christ and has nothing to do with the gospel and the gentiles (see Colossians 2:16,17). According to the words of Christ in John 12:49, God the Father DID NOT give the commandment to keep the sabbath day. This should end the debate over the sabbath day, but certain sabbath keepers will maintain that it is somehow relevant to the Church age. The commandments of God in the New Testament are the commandments of Christ of which the sabbath is EXCLUDED (see John 15:10; Revelation 12:17, 14:12, 22:14. There are 21 sets of 7 commandments given by Christ in the New Testament. One of those commandments is, "REMEMBER LOT'S WIFE." He never said to remember or keep the sabbath day. There is liberty in Christ concerning days as noted in Romans 14:5,6, and these verses harmonizes with the fact that the Lord gave no commandment to keep either Saturday or Sunday. Therefore, there are no "Sunday keepers" as Adventists have been taught to believe. Christians are not under bondage concerning days, and are free to celebrate CHRISTMAS for example. CONCLUSION: The demonizing of Sunday, the first day of the week, the day of the resurrection, is ridiculous and has led to false doctrine. Jesus discusses his resurrection in Revelation chapter one. The apostle John received the Revelation on the day of the resurrection called "the Lord's Day (Revelation 1:10)." The first day of the week has been called the Lord's Day because of that event (the resurrection). Christians have been meeting on the first day of the week (Sunday) since the first century on account of the resurrection (see 1 Corinthians 16:2; Acts 20:7). PRAYER: Dear Jesus, deliver me from the bondage of keeping the sabbath day, something that you did not command, that you did not receive from your Father. And please deliver me from other false doctrines that you did not teach in the New Testament. Thank you. Amen.

The Sabbath Misconception There's a lot of propaganda regarding the sabbath. Ellen White supposedly found a hidden truth about the sabbath. Well she was wrong. The sabbath is not the heart of the moral law or the seal of God because "Love is THE FULFILLING OF THE LAW (Romans 13:10)." It is not a New Testament moral law. It was a ceremonial shadow pointing to Christ who made the atonement for sin and we are complete and rest in him, see Numbers 28:9,10; Colossians 2:10,16,17;Hebrews chapters 3 and 4. It is a REST OF FAITH, not a day of the week to keep. There's liberty in Christ concerning days, so there's no Saturn day or Sunday keeping commandment. For these reasons Jesus did not command sabbath keeping. It is NOT A COMMANDMENT OF CHRIST. It has nothing to do with the gospel or the gentiles. By meeting on the first day of the week, believers commemorate the resurrection and have done so since the first century. Therefore the Sunday law mark of the beast is an erroneous notion invented by Ellen White.

How do you keep the sabbath that it say; you can not got out and kindle fire on the Sabbath? The Sabbath that it is the Ten Commandments is the covenant of the blood of animals to cover the sins of Israelites,by doing it that makes them holy. While the new covenant is the blood of Jesus that takes away the sins of the world. The Sabbath in Ten Commandments is the Passover and the feast of unleavened bread. That’s the only Sabbath that given to Israelites before they get into the promised land. And also,when Israelites celebrates the Sabbath, they will go to go to Israel, otherwise God will not send them rain. Jesus did not commanded to keep the Sabbath but instead He commanded us we “MUST BE BORN AGAIN IN SPIRIT.” It is a “MUST.” You are going to keep the Ten Commandments, great! But how about the other sins that mention in new testaments? How about our thoughts? Jesus said; when you look to a woman with lust, you are committing adultery in your heart. And also when you hate someone,you committing murder. If you think you are holy by going to church on Saturday, then set aside the blood of Jesus that justify your sins. And ask yourself, why Jesus need to die for you and paid for the penalty that you deserved.

I do blve that if one breaks one of the ten we r guilty of all ten hence the reason why Christ died because of our sins.

The Sabbath that remains in Hebrews Hebrews 4:9-10 “There remains, then, a Sabbath - rest (Gk : Sabbatismos) for the people of God; for anyone who enters God’s rest {i.e. salvation} ALSO rests from his own work, just as God did from His.” Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest {salvation}, so that no one will fall by following their example of disobedience.” (NIV) The Greek word translated Sabbath-rest is Sabbatismos and it refers to a physical keeping of the Sabbath. So that if a person accepts salvation thus entering into God’s salvation rest, they will ALSO rest from their works just as God did from his. And how did God rest as an example to us? Hebrews 4:4 “…And on the seventh day God rested from all His work.”

One of the questions that was mentioned in the Q&A was something like, Is keeping the Sabbath a salvation issue? Seventh day adventists say that it is not a salvation issue. But I believe that it is “not yet” a salvation issue but it will be. In Revelation 14:9-12 you can read the third angel’s message about those who worship the beast and his image and what will become of them. In verse 12 it says, “Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.” So keeping the commandments of God (ten commandments not 9) is a salvation issue, maybe not now to those who have not understood or heard it but it is a salvation issue to those who have been given the light. We are judged according to the light that was given us not on which one we receive. God bless you as you continue to study the Word to know what God desires for you.

Sylvanus Predaney the church you called is lawless .Iam a messianic and I love Yeshua and his Torah

[@sirlearn]

I am not dealing which church or any group knowing that Messianic can also be very wrong in doctrine. Unless the spirit of YAHUAH opens your heart you may declare others lawless in ignorance. Most of today's churches are lawless. I agree with that. The question is, the new testament explicitly restates all the other ten commandments again in the new testament except the shabbat. Why is the shabbat not explicitly stated in the new testament as something we should obey considering how important it was in the old? Why didn't Yahusha , his apostles or Shaul teach the shabbat in any of their sermons or writings? Because the writer of Hebrews explained what shabbat means and how Yahusha fulfilled it. Sabbath means rest....and it was kept as a rehearsal for the MASHAICH who will be a rest for all who shall believe in Him. Anyone who has entered into Yahusha's rest or Shabbat has seized from his own actions. In the future, the full revelation of the shabbat shall be revealed during the 7th millennium in which YAHUAH will bring a total rest for the earth and the Qodeshim (saints) of YAHUAH. So if you decide to honor it as Yisharel honored it in reference to how YAHUAH honoured in creation... Happy are you but don't judge others and oblige them to the same. Read the book of Acts 14 and 15.... This is why I am saying that you can keep it in a legalistic way as Yisharel kept it but the Church keeps the shabbat by walking in the inspiration of the RUACH of YAHUAH. I am not saying the shabbat is abolished but what I am saying is that the way of keeping the shabbat in YAHUSHA is different from how Yisharel was commanded to keep it. The reality of what was practiced for centuries is revealed in life in the RUACH. We should not try to take the people back to the bondage of the Torah for which reason Yahusha died to save us. The Torah finds its true meaning in Yahusha and if you don't understand this, you will struggle with yourself many times for trying to do the same things Yisharel was commanded to do. Be led by the RUACH. Thank you

For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death. For what the Law could not do, weak as it was through the flesh, God did: sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh, so that the requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” Matthew 11:28‭-‬30 NASB1995 One person regards one day above another, another regards every day alike. Each person must be fully convinced in his own mind. He who observes the day, observes it for the Lord, and he who eats, does so for the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and he who eats not, for the Lord he does not eat, and gives thanks to God. Romans 14:5‭-‬6 NASB1995 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- Colossians 2:16 NASB1995

Daniel 7:25 (KJV) And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. Here it clearly explains how sabbath will be changed to sunday

Here is what the New Testament really says about the Sabbath: Hebrews 4:8-9 (BBE--Bible in Basic English) 8: For if Joshua had given them rest, he would not have said anything about another day. 9: So that there is still a Sabbath-keeping for the people of God.

Robt Clayton Robert, you are correct, and we actually agree! WHO ARE THE PEOPLE OF GOD? Only the Jews? If we are Christ's, are we Abraham's seed too? You sure -- 99% of the promises are spoke and written to Jews-- NOT TO GENTILES. including the NEW covenant! Read it-- it is made NOT to gentiles...Is he THE way, THE truth, and THE life, or do GENTILES get a discounted path to follow? Is it SIN to keep SABBATH, or any other Command, by grace, to follow and please God, Robert? What scripture shows us that God's law is null and void in ANY way, and that we should SUBSTITUTE a Mithraic, heathen, pagan 🌅day, supposedly in honor of Christ? When did Christ's holiness, that he himself in Eden placed in the Sabbath dissipate and end? When will we worship God in the NEW EARTH? Just anytime?

ASpen Fp please don’t forget verse 10 which says : For he that is entered into His rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, AS GOD DID from His.” So it’s very clear on how we are to remain to keeping Gods Sabbath. Plus we will continue in heaven. God bless you.

The SDA Church DOES NOT interpret the "rest" in Hebrews 4:9 as the 7th day Sabbath rest that is mentioned in the Ten Commandments. Here's the commentary on Heb 4:9 taken from The Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary Vol 7 published by Review and Herald Publishing Association: "9. There remaineth therefore. See on v. 6. Verse 9 states the conclusion, already alluded to in v. 6. drawn from the line of argument begun in v. 3 to prove the assertions of vs. 1, 3. This line of argument may be set forth briefly as follows: 1. As originally made to ancient Israel God’s promised “rest” included: (a) permanent settlement in the land of Canaan, (b) a transformation of character that would make the nation a fit representative of the principles of God’s kingdom, and (c) the role of being God’s chosen instrument for the salvation of the world (see Vol. IV, pp. 26-30; see on ch. 3:11). 2. The generation to whom the promise of “rest” was originally made failed to enter the land of Canaan because of unbelief (see on ch. 3:19). 3. Joshua did led the next generation into the land that had been promised (see on ch.3:11), but because they were spiritually stiff-necked he could not lead them into the spiritual “rest” God intended them to find there (see on ch. 4:7, 8). 4. The same promise had been repeated in the days of David (v. 7). This was evidence that Israel had not, at that time, entered into the spiritual “rest,” and also that their failure to do so in the days of Moses and Joshua had not invalidated the original promise. 5. The ultimate accomplishment of God’s purposes is certain, despite the failure of successive generations (see on vs. 3, 4). 6. The writer’s earnest plea to God’s people of apostolic times to “enter into that rest” (vs. 11, 16) is further evidence that the invitation remained valid and that God’s people, as a group, had not truly entered into that “rest” even in apostolic times. 7. Accordingly, the promise of, and invitation to enter into, God’s spiritual “rest” remains valid (vs. 6, 9), and Christians should “labour therefore to enter into that rest” (v. 11). It should be noted that the “rest” that remained in Christian times was the spiritual “rest” originally promised to literal Israel (see on v. 3). Obviously, what remains must have been there to begin with. Rest. Gr. sabbatismos, “a resting [from previous activity],” “a cessation [from previous activity],” later “a Sabbathkeeping,” from the verb sabbatizos÷, “to rest,” “to cease,” “to keep Sabbath.” Sabbatismos appears elsewhere neither in the Bible nor in ancient literature until the 2d and 3d centuries, with the possible exception of a single occurrence in Plutarch Moralia 166A. Consequently, some have concluded that the writer of Hebrews coined the word as he wrote this passage (see Moulton and Milligan, Vocabulary of the Greek New Testament). Sabbatismos and sabbatizoµ are Greek renderings of the Hebrew noun shabbath and its related verb shabath, respectively, and the meaning of the latter may be expected to cast light on the meaning of the former. Shabbath occurs 101 times in the OT, where it generally means “Sabbath,”-the seventh day of the week-or “week,” a period of seven days marked off by successive Sabbaths. It is also used of the sabbatical year (Lev. 25:6; 26:34, 43; 2 Chron. 36:21). The verb shabath occurs 70 times, 7 times with reference to the Sabbath rest and 63 times with reference to other kinds of rest. For instances of the latter usage see Gen. 8:22; Joshua 5:12; Neh. 6:3; Lam. 5:14; Isa. 14:4; 24:8; 33:8. The root meaning of the verb shabath is “to cease,” “to rest.” The word sometimes denotes the weekly Sabbath rest. But the noun shabbath, derived from shabath, commonly denotes the weekly Sabbath rest, and also the space of time marked off by successive Sabbaths, the week (L ev. 23:15), and the sabbatical years (ch. 26:35; etc.). It may be noted also that shabbathon, which is simply shabbath with the ending Ðon, is used of the Day of Atonement (Lev. 16:31; 23:32), of the sabbatical year (Lev. 25:4, 5), of the Feast of Trumpets (Lev. 23:24), and of the first and last days of the Feast of Tabernacles (Lev.23:39)-as well as of the seventh-day Sabbath. Sabbatizoµ is used seven times in the LXX, once of the literal seventh-day Sabbath (Ex.16:30), once of other sabbaths (Lev. 23:32), and five times of the land’s resting in the sabbatical year (Lev. 26:34, 35; 2 Chron. 36:21). In the LXX of Ex. 16:30; Lev. 23:32;26:34, 35 sabbatizoµ is from the Hebrew shabath. Accordingly, the fundamental idea expressed by sabbatizo in the LXX is that of resting or ceasing from labor or other activity. Hence usage of the related Greek and Hebrew words implies that the noun sabbatismos may denote either the literal Sabbath “rest” or simply “rest” or “cessation” in a more general sense. Thus, a linguistic study of the word sabbatismos in Heb. 4:9 leaves it uncertain whether the weekly Sabbath “rest” is here referred to, or simply “rest” or “cessation” in a general sense. Context alone can decide the matter. The writer of Hebrews appears to use katapusis and sabbatismos more or less synonymously: 1. Because Joshua could not lead Israel into spiritual “rest” (katapausis, v. 8), a sabbatismos (v. 9) remains for Christians. Consistency seems to require that what remains be the same as what was there to begin with. Because Joshua did not lead literal Israel into spiritual “rest” would be no reason for the Christian to observe the Sabbath. 2. From vs. 1, 6 it is clear that what remains for the people of God in NT times is a katapausis; in v. 9 it is said that a sabbatismos remains. To declare that what remains for “the people of God” is the weekly Sabbath, is to declare that what Joshua failed to lead Israel into was the weekly Sabbath. 3. The fact that in the LXX, the Bible of the NT church, katapauoµ (Gen. 2:2, 3); Ex.20:11) and sabbatizoµ (Ex. 16:30; Lev. 23:32) are used interchangeably to denote the seventh-day Sabbath, would tend to preclude the suggestion that the writer of Hebrews intended to make a distinction between the noun forms of these words in Heb. 3; 4. It may be noted, further, that the Jews of Paul’s time, whether Christian or non-Christian, were punctilious in their observance of the fourth commandment. Certainly, in writing to Jews, the author of Hebrews would not consider it necessary to prove to them that Sabbathkeeping “remaineth.” If the conclusion of the extended argument beginning with ch. 3:7 is that Sabbathkeeping remains for the people of God, it would seem that the writer of Hebrews is guilty of a non sequitur, for the conclusion does not follow logically from the argument. There would have been no point in so labored an effort to persuade the Jews to do what they were already doing-observing the seventh-day Sabbath. Furthermore, in apostolic times the seventh-day Sabbath was observed by all Christians, Jew and Gentile alike, and any argument to prove the validity of the Sabbath in those early Christian times would have been pointless. Furthermore, it may be observed that the section of the book of Hebrews consisting of chs. 3 and 4 opens with an invitation to “consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus” (ch. 3:1), and closes with an earnest plea to “come boldly” before Him in order to “obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need” (ch. 4:16). What relationship a protracted argument designed to prove that Sabbath observance remains as an obligation to the Christian church might have to the declared theme of chs. 3 and 4-the ministry of Christ as our great High Priest in the heavenly sanctuary-is obscure indeed. “The rest here spoken of is the rest of grace” (EGW Supplementary Material on Heb. 4:9; cf. GC 253). It is “the true rest of faith” (MB 1). We enter into God’s “rest” when we “consider” Jesus (ch. 3:1) and listen to His voice (chs. 3:7, 15; 4:7), when we exercise faith in Him (ch. 4:2, 3), when we cease from our own efforts to earn salvation (v. 10), when we “hold fast our profession” (v. 14), and when we draw near to the throne of grace (v. 16). Those who would enter into this experience must beware of “an evil heart of unbelief” (ch. 3:12), of hardening their hearts (chs. 3:8, 15; 4:7). They must strive to enter into God’s “rest” (ch. 4:11). Those who enter into God’s “rest” will “hold fast” their “profession” (v. 14). They will “come boldly unto the throne of grace” to “obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need” (v. 16). People of God. That is, Christians, who are now God’s chosen people as truly as the literal Israelites of old were in their day (Ex. 19:5, 6; 1 Peter 2:9, 10; see Vol. IV, pp. 35, 36)."
