Happy Sabbath

[Guest webling]

May you all be blessed and renewed during this time. God loves you more than you know

I look forward to the 7th day of the week every week. Our God is so cool he chose this day to hang out with us. It's a time of renewal physically and spiritually. Elohim gave us his best and when we receive and embrace that he blesses us more.

By God's grace, as a baptized believer, I am led to identify now with the risen Christ Who fulfilled the feast of firstfruits, and not with the law containing types and shadows which pointed forward to a time when they would be surpassed by the Person and Work of the crucified and risen Christ.

"But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept." (1 Corinthians 15.20)

What of other Sabbaths? 

Care to flesh out the concept  that you have of God  "hanging out"?

Mattithyahu (Matthew) 5:17-20 TS2009
[17] Do not think that I came to destroy the Torah or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to complete. [18] For truly, I say to you, till the heaven and the earth pass away, one yod or one tittle shall by no means pass from the Torah till all be done. [19] “Whoever, then, breaks one of the least of these commands, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the reign of the heavens; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the reign of the heavens. [20] For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you shall by no means enter into the reign of the heavens.
 
Yoḥanan Aleph (1 John) 2:3-5 TS2009
[3] And by this we know that we know Him, if we guard His commands. [4] The one who says, “I know Him,” and does not guard His commands, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. [5] But whoever guards His Word, truly the love of Elohim has been perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him.

Ya‛aqoḇ (James) 2:17-22 TS2009
[17] So also belief, if it does not have works, is in itself dead. [18] But someone might say, “You have belief, and I have works.” Show me your belief without your works, and I shall show you my belief by my works. [19] You believe that Elohim is one. You do well. The demons also believe – and shudder! [20] But do you wish to know, O foolish man, that the belief without the works is dead? [21] Was not Aḇraham our father declared right by works when he offered Yitsḥaq his son on the slaughter-place? [22] Do you see that the belief was working with his works, and by the works the belief was perfected?

Another word for it is fellowship. Elohim wants relationship with us. To spend time with us.

My post at this point was about the weekly Sabbath. There are other Sabbaths. If you wish to expound on that feel free.

Hi, I am just interested in what you are presenting.

Love is the greatest commandment. To love Elohim and our neighbor as ourselves. However, they don't abolish other commandments. In fact, Messiah said if we love him we will keep his commandments. Do you know that it was Messiah (The Word) who gave the 10 commandments to Moshe on Mt Sinai?

The law was changed (Hebrews 7.12).

What the believer now has is better than the law (Hebrews 7.19).

I find agreement for sure in your presentation  on the whole. I find I may have a take on the commandments,- that being Jesus stepped them all up, put them on steroids so to speak ,when he declared again and again  within his sermon on the mount that the thought  of doing a sin  was as much a sin as the doing of one.

 I will leave the subject of whose finger scratched rock alone, for I think that should make  for a most interesting thread of it's own if and when you wish to create one.
