The Rest Heb. 4
Hebrews 4 4 Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.
2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.
3 For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
4 For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.
5 And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest.
6 Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:
7 Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
8 For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.
9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.
10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.
Heb. 4 shows that the OT Sabbath did NOT ever give anyone true REST. He said if so, then he would not have afterward have spoken of ANOTHER DAY.
This does not mean Sunday. it means another day with God, that of Grace/ salvation. ToDAY is the DAY of Salvation.
ToDAY if you hear his voice, harden not your heart as they did. Receive you the Holy Ghost.
Dear, this is the one and ONLY true plan of salvation. No other way will do with God. You must come in the Acts 2 way. That is the only early and true Church.
They were filled with this true REST FROM GOD. It was the Baptism of the Holy Ghost. They were now free from the works of the law.
How could they labor to enter into that REST if that REST was going to church on Sunday? Jesus said, come unto me and I will GIVE YOU REST to your souls.
Was this going to church on Sunday? How could Jesus give us that? Do you ENTER into your rest by going to church on Sunday? He that is ENTERED into REST. How can you enter into rest? It is not going to church.
NO!!!!!
But the thing is that many believe the lie that going to church on Saturday is keeping the sabbath. it is NOT.
Neither is going to church on Sunday keeping any sabbath. (If you go back to the law of Moses and try to keep that sabbath of man...then you cannot even go out of your door. it carries the death penelty. you cannot so much as pick up a stick....it also carries the death penelty....that is LAW. sure you still want it? Thank God, Jesus delivered me from that. I was never under it. Always been in grace. and you sure better not buy or sell on that day. see?)
The early, and only true church, went EVERY SINGLE DAY. It has nothing to do with keeping any sabbath. They worked and they worshipped every single day. That is GRACE. Let no man judge you in respect of the holy days, sabbaths, new moons, etc.
Neither Saturday, nor Sunday is God's Sabbath.
Having the HOLY GHOST in your soul is that REST. That is the only true REST WHICH GOD EVER GAVE TO ANYONE.
forget what adventist teach..what Catholics teach.....or anyone else......look into the pure Word of God....pray and ask God to reveal this mystery to you....if you want truth.
Saturday is NOT GOD'S SABBATH. It has NOTHING to do with any certain day of our week. Genesis one is not man's creation, nor man's time.
It is a spiritual creation, beginning with the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Only after Jesus ascended to Heaven did God enter into his REST......HIS SEVENTH DAY.......DAY ONE IS NOT SUNDAY.
DAY TWO IS NOT MONDAY.....ETC.
IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MAN'S WEEKS.
Sabbath does not mean a certain day to go to church or anything else. It is having REST IN OUR SOUL, FROM SIN OR WORKS OF THE LAW. hOPE YOU CAN come to see this great and pure TRUTH.
Love ye,
Jo
You are greatly missing something of vital importance in Romans 7. Paul was speaking about mankind before the law was given to the UNGODLY. He was alive. But when the commandment came, sin revived, because sin is the transgressions of the law......so where there is no law, there is no sin.
Do you think this condition is ever possible? If not, then we will all be lost, for sin cannot go into God's kingdom. So until and unless you can become SINFREE YOU CANNOT BE SAVED.
so how is one set sinfree? By being set free by Jesus Christ when we obey the NT COMMANDMENT. Do you....have you obeyed the NT COMMAND in Acts 10?
If not, why are you so concerned with an old shadow of this true HEAVENLY REST? and not one bit concerned with obeying the ONLY COMMANDMENT WHICH CAN GIVE SALVATION?
None of those ten can give salvation or freedom They are only bondage.....to be under law is BONDAGE, from which Jesus set us free---- those of us who have GRACE.
You cannot have grace and be under law both. It is impossible. why do you chose law instead of Grace?
Nothing you have said shows where God commandes us to be back under that law, which Peter declared in acts 15, to be a yoke which none of them could bear...and which we are not under or bound to.
Now when the law came, sin revived and MANKIND DIED...= were dead in trespasses and sins.
That is the state of mankind trying to keep some silly old weekly sabbath when the TRUE REST OF GOD IS AVAILABLE TO THEM....only they will NOT obey his NT COMMAND to be water baptized in the name Of Jesus Christ FOR THE REMISSION OF SINS AND RECEIVE THE PROMISE OF THE HOLY GHOST.
Sister, without this, you have NO SALVATION...so just keep on resisting the truth and clinging to false teachings, rejecting NT Savation, and you will reap the rewards of losing your soul.
THE LAW OF LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS HAS MADE ME FREE FROM THAT OLD LAW OF SIN AND DEATH SPOKEN OF IN ROMANS 7. Best you come over into Romans 8.
Best you receive the true REST PROPHSIED OF IN ISA. 28.
Best you learn of the true HEAVENLY REST instead of that old shadow of a rest, which was in bondage.
MOSES IS THE ONE WHO SAID REMAIN IN YOUR PLACE AND DO NOT GO OUT THE DOOR.
Jesus Christ knew this weekly thing was NOT THE SABBATH OF GOD. THAT IS WHY HE DEFIED IT.....HE IS THE BAPTIZER OF THE NEW REST...THE HOLY GHOST.
Now you have heard the real truth from God's Word. That old law is nothing but DEATH..THE TREE OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL.
all false religions are hung up on a FEW VERSES, which their false originators have distorted the meaning to.
The 'jesus-only' folks can only repeat a few verses their false leaders falsly interpreted and led them into delusions of darkness.
Now I see that all you can do is repeat, continously, just a few verses which the false leaders of this 'law religion' falsly interpreted and led you into delusions of darkness.
Sure, if we love God we will keep his commandments, and his commandments are not grievous.
Then if it is speaking about that old covenant, given at Mt Sinai, why did Peter say in Acts 15, that this was A BONDAGE WHICH NONE OF THEM COULD BEAR?
wHY did He tell Christians that they were not bound by that law of Moses?
You cannot hear. You cannot see the difference in God's commandments and that old law of Moses.
You flat refuse all of these Scriptures in holding to the few the adventists leaders have totally misinterpreted and led you astray with.
Why do you refuse these many other Scriptures which I have shown you many times? Do you not believe these verses? do you only believe those few you keep referring to?
Do you not know that all of the Bible is God's commandments? I mean, every single word of it? It is all God's commandments. And when His word shows us that we are not under that old covenant of law, why do you resist this?
It is because man sets up his own way above God's way. That is the only reason God ever put those REBELS under law. So he could bring them into judgment and destroy them.
Now, here is the answer to your question of how to be sin-free. it is the ONLY WAY. Keeping or saying you keep the ten will never do the job. You do not keep that old sabbath, no matter how many say you do. You DO NOT.
You do break it every time you go out your door. Now you can listen to your false teachers all you wish, but I showed you in the Word of God, what Moses said you must do and not do.
Some old false teachers, who are all dead now, said, you must go to church to keep it. without one single word of Scripture for this LIE. Where is your scripture for doing it this way?
why go you all about trying to lead grace people back under that bondage, which none of you keep? This is a worse sin that any other, teaching others to keep that sabbath when none of you wish to keep it right.
Since this is already long, I will send it, then show you the only way to be sin free.
Ps 32:2 Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.
Ro 4:6 Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,
Ro 4:7 Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
Ro 4:8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.
Ro 4:14 For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect:
Ro 4:15 Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.
Ro 5:13 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
Ro 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
Ro 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
Ro 8:3 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:
Col 2:12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.
Col 2:13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
Col 2:14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
Col 2:15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
Col 2:16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
Col 2:17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.
Ro 4:15 Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.
Ro 5:13 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
Take special notice of those two verses. Therein lies the secret of being SIN FREE.
And it is the only way. so long as you are under LAW, that law which was given on Mt Sinai, you are under sin, and lost.
Try to find out why only Moses was allowed on that mountain, near to God. Why was that entire nation told to stay far away, and were never even allowed into the very tabernacle which they had laboured to build?
Why was only Moses and Joshua allowed into that tabernacle? find out these answers.
I will wait and see if you can find out these answers. why was Moses the ONLY ALLOWED NEAR TO GOD?
Why did he say that if any of the others so much as touched that moutain, they would be killed? Where do you put yourself with this business of doing despite to the Spirit of Grace?
Col 2:16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
Why does your church break this COMMANDMENT, in Co. 2:16, and judge us all by that old sabbath?
Do you not realize that any positive statement, such as the above verse, is a COMMANDMENT?
iF NOT go learn some English Grammer.
Those who think that Saturday is God's Sabbath are too blind to ever see what Peter or Paul had and taught.
Which DAY IS THE DAY OF SALVATION? Do you know? Is it saturday? sunday? monday? T, W, T or F? which. How long is this DAY?
Which DAY is the DAY of Judgment? Sat. sun. m, t, w, t or f?
How long is that DAY going to be?
which DAY is the Lord's DAY? of the seven, and how long is that Day.
Which DAY is the DAY OF THE LORD? where is this DAY taught in Scripture? how long is this DAY?
Which of the seven, is the DAY OF WRATH? does this one come on sat. sun, m, t, w, t, or f? How long is this DAY?
Re. 16:14. another DAY is mentioned, the great DAY OF GOD ALMIGHTY. which of the seven is this one? How long is this DAY? how many hours in this Day?
Re. 18:8, in this ONE DAY, THE WRATH AND PLAGUES COME on Babylon. How long is this DAY? which day of the week is this? do you know? if not, go read some of White's literature and perhaps she found out in one of her fairy-tale visions.
Heb 4:7
Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
Heb 4:8
For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.
What day is this one? How long is it? does it come every seven days? can you tell?
Isa 28:11
For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people.
Isa 28:12
To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear.
to those who refused this REST, or sabbath of God, he said:
Isa 28:13
But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.
Ga 4:9
But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage?
Ga 4:10
Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years.
Ga 4:11
I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain.
Ga 4:21
Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law?
Ga 4:24
Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar.
Ga 4:25
For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.
Two covenants, one from Mt Sinai, which is BONDAGE with her bond children. cast out the bond child, for he is not heir with the free child. Why do you reject the true commandments of God, and cling to the dead old covenant? and refuse the true Sabbath, and do not remember it, but count it an unholy thing, clinging to only a shadow, and not keeping that shadow correctly?
Why? Why do you yeild yourself servants to that old bondage, and do despite to the Spirit of Grace, thus disobeying God's commandments.
so god said,
Ga 4:30
Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.
Why disobey God's commandments and be cast out with all the other rebellious bond children?
Why then do you break the true commandments of God? why refuse to obey them? You cannot enter into the true REST of God this way. You must obey the true commandments to enter in.
Repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the REMISSION of sin, and then the promise will be filled to you.....receive the Holy ghost, with the evidence of speaking in other tongues, which is the true REST.
So you think the Day of Grace is 24 hours long?
my, my. such carnality.
and you think the Day of judgment is 24 hours long?
And you think the Day of salvation is 24 hours long?
When was it then?
Yesterday? or 100 years ago? if so, then the 24 hours is up and none of the rest of humans have a chance. if that day was 24 hours long, we are all in trouble, except those who lived on that one day, 24 hours.
btw, when are you going to interpret any Scripture correctly? Haven't seen it yet. You keep repeating the same little circle over and over, for apparently it is the only ones your false teacher ever dare go near.....and that only because they teach lies about it>
Ac 10:48
And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.
Why are you disobeying that commandment? when will you obey it? It takes you into the TRUE SABBATH. it is the only REST available.
You know nothing about the 4th commandment.... not how to keep the old way, nor what it really means...you know not the true sabbath for you do disobey it all.
You do reject the commandments of God and cleave to the false teachings of man.
So why do you break that least commandment? Why not go get into the water and obey it? and receive the Holy Ghost? I know. It is because your false church denies this true rest which Jesus gives us, who obey his commandments.
Sure these commandments are holy and just and the only ones which can bring you into the day of rest = salvation.
So you think day one is a 24 hour period. You have no idea what it is about. Neither do you have any idea what day seven is or what it is about.
All you can do is repeat a few verses which you 'think' prove your false doctrine. But you know not the meaning of even one of them and cannot rightly interpret even one single verse of Scripture.
when I asked what the tree of the knowledge of good and evil was, you did not even have a clue as to what I meant. So you know what the seventh day is? No way!!!!
The Commandments of Jesus:
So what commandments was Jesus speaking about? Let's just see. and if you say this is not his commandments, then show me something different. Show me where Jesus commanded anyone to keep the law of Moses? 4th C. where did Jesus command it?
This is the COMMANDMENTS OF JESUS:
Mt 10:5 These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not: (a direct command!)(1)
Mt 10:6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. (another direct COMMAND)(2)
Mt 10:7 And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. (ANOTHER direct COMMAND.)(3)
Mt 10:8 Heal the sick,(4) cleanse the lepers,(5) raise the dead,(6) cast out devils:(7) freely ye have received, freely give. (8)
Mt 10:9 Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses,(9)
Mt 10:10 Nor scrip for your journey,(10) neither two coats,(11) neither shoes,(12) nor yet staves:(13) for the workman is worthy of his meat.
Mt 10:11 And into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter, inquire who in it is worthy; (14)and there abide till ye go thence. (15)
Mt 10:12 And when ye come into an house, salute it. (16)
Mt 10:13 And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it:(17) but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you. (18)
Mt 10:14 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet. (19)
Mt 10:15 Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.
Mt 11:1 And it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of commanding his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and to preach in their cities.
Now which one of those 19 COMMANDMENTS does your church teach, obey and keep?
If you break one of these LEAST COMMANDMENTS, and teach men so, you will be least in his kingdom. Which one of the 19 COMMANDMENTS do you obey and believe and teach?
and do not come saying this is not God's commandments, for Jesus Christ brought us GOD'S WORD. he taught us God's way and God's COMMANDMENTS.
God said he put his WORD into the mouth of Jesus Christ. This is GOD'S COMMANDMENTS? Which of these do you obey and do? please answer these questions instead of repeating your little circle. There is much more to the Scripture, you know, or should know.
So you think I do not know the right interpretations, huh? Well, then you teach the above 19 COMMANDMENTS OF JESUS CHIRST. and if you say, this was only to the disciples of Jesus, then I ask, are we not disciples of Jesus? I am, anyway. You may not be, you are Moses' disciple.
and if you say these are not COMMANDMENTS OF GOD, then you must call Jesus a LIE. do you?
