Angels4u no I am not a "seventh day Adventist", and "Tinky" , Apparently I wasn't very clear with this post and should have thought it through better lol. I was just trying to get something up thinking it would help get me into chat. lol. The subject matter of this post was honest and heart-felt, but I could have been clearer. I HAVE no issues with the Sabbath lol, I have a pretty good understanding of it, and tried to put in the text that I have walked with the Lord a good while and study His word nearly every day...for the very purpose of averting unnecessary counseling by well meaning brethren here. Not saying I know it all of course... If people read it maybe a little slower or something?...I dono, I just was saying I understood the writer of Hebrews who said "we cease from our works just as God ceased from His"..."there remains therefore a rest for the people of God"....I don't think the writer of Hebrews was a seventh day Adventist, he understood that in Christ we fulfill the law...because Jesus did...that the things of the Old Testament are for our benefit as Peter said, who wasn't under the law...and I'm taught by God's word that JESUS is the Lord of the Sabbath...that in Christ we have rest...I kinda tried to say that the first time lol. I maybe was being too transparent for people who don't know me, and sharing some deeper things of how I know about the rest of Christ, yet still wrestle with it a little...IT'S ALRIGHT!!!...honest!..lol...I praise God Jesus made that way for us to enter into His rest ..thank you Lord

Cog I believe it specifically speaks of the seventh day as being the rest, talking about He "ceased from His works" on that day.

very interesting Cog...I LOVE sharing thoughts about God's word this way , (rather than the usual kind of know-it-all bantoring and whit jousting people do). be looking for my response, i am out the door this second to church!!

Interesting Cog!

I don't know if this is the appropriate area to post this topic, but I'm trying to understand this system. I had a that maybe God is more realistic about my relationship with Him than i sometimes think?...What i mean is, maybe He doesn't really expect me to be reading His word and praying 24 hours a day...i believe the more i read and pray, the more it will benefit me, i've learned that, ...i may be new to worthychat, but not to Christianity,,I've walked with Jesus most of my life. Anyways, I was thinking for a second , subconsciously, that i should maybe be doing Bible reading this morning instead of going on the computer...i often stop and think about what should be the most important thing i should be doing....then i thought about how i do not usually do Bible devotions on Sunday mornings before church ...and that also i just came from a Honnukah celebration last night where they had Bible lessons...so maybe it's ok to do something not Bible or prayer related right this minute.....then it hit me that God eastablished a day for His people to rest, and cease from their daily routines...a Sabbath day for His children to reverence Him...to be a living reminder of His own rest, and ultimately of the person of Jesus Christ. What that meant to me for the first time was possibly That God might be simply injecting a day for us to tithe our attention fully back to Him...after that He placed us on the Earth to subdue it and enjoy His creation here, He understands that we as humans will not be, like those in heaven who worship Him night and day,..will not be continuously praying and reading and serving every second here....we have the mundane responsibilities of our lives that take up time...we have time when we must ocupy ourselves with things of this present world., and as born again believers, even in those things, He is near our consciousness...in the back of our minds, and still in our thoughts while we go through the motions of our earthly existance here. Just some thoughts.
