Thanks for sharing this sermon. This has really been something Ive struggled with when i talk to some Christians who think its so important. They seperate themselves on that one point. 😢
Thanks for all of the bread, brother! Merry belated Christmas! Grace, peace and mercy multiplied from God The Father and our Lord Jesus Christ to you and yours this coming New Year! 🥳🎊🕊🙏🍞🔥💛
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. And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest. Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief: 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. For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day. There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God (Heb 4:4-9).
What is the point that the writer of Hebrews is making? Do you see the comparisons and contrasts as meaning they are the same or that they are different? Your perspective of this question governs your interpretation of Hebrews and elsewhere in the NT where references are made to things in the Old Covenant that Moses mediated. Consider: the writer of Hebrews is using Old Covenant references as a bridge to Hebrews at the time to describe how the New Covenant and Kingdom life is different because of the differences God wanted in the New that is different than the Mosaic. Ex. Jesus in reference to the High Priest. Right now, Jesus isn't a literal high priest now, because we don't need one. But the writer is comparing what the Old Covenant priests did as far as sin or mediating with what Jesus did to end sin and mediate the New Covenant. He is using terms and ideas familiar to the Old to help them understand why the New is different. Many think it is reinforcing the old ideas, or doubling down on the types and shadows...but it's something wise teachers do to help people understand something new. Look at the passage you posted here in that light. He brings up the OT idea, which was a once a week rest, and connects it to God's promise of a longer term rest. Then he describes that its resting from works (obeying commands in exchange for relationship) and that Jesus is the permanent rest from works and religious practices for relationship. For Jews who wondered why Christians didn't keep Jewish Sabbath, that's the Christian response. And remember, the Sabbath in the Old Covenant wasn't just going to church Saturdays. It was a difficult set of rules and regulations and obligations that by Jesus time had become even more strict. Remember the Pharisees saying God healing someone was a work that wasn't supposed to be done on Sabbath, but Jesus mentions a shepherd rescuing a sheep on the Sabbath? It's that kind of regulation. This is what those who teach that Sabbath is a thing don't remember or consider. And since it was a stipulation in the covenant, it was seen as law, the same that God mentions He grew tired of when they did it just because it's written and not out of love. So in the New Covenant, there's no stipulations on when, and the gospel writers and Jesus mention the kind of worship God really wants, and not to judge if someone wants Sunday or Saturday or Thursday. And the clincher is this: God wanted it to end and said it would end when He made the New Covenant promises. It wasn't people. It was Jesus to the woman at the well, and the disciples and Paul and all early Christians. Interact with these ideas, don't copy verses without making your point. Ask to understand another perspective before you judge or argue against it. Because if you don't understand what the other idea is, not only does it make your points invalid, but it shows that you haven't even heard the other side- meaning it's stuff you haven't been taught yet.
Paul was saying let no man judge you for keeping the commandments: Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God. (1Co 7:19)
Imagine how stressful it must be to reply to every video TH-cam recommends, and take the time to spell the weird names correctly, and offer an answer to a question no one asked...and to think it matters or affects anything. And, to further show how we know it's not legit- this video says nothing about wigglesworth 🤣🤣 and my spell check tried to correct it wrong twice as I wrote it. And it's sexist to pretend it's a girl doing it, I'm just saying.

This is false doctrine.
