As a deconstructing Seventh Day Adventist these two videos have been a blessing beyond description to me!! What a totally rounded and complete exegesis of one of the most foundational doctrines (for SDA's, it's part of their name) contained in Scripture. I just want share this joy with every SDA that I know who has "scales" over their eyes. Rob, may Dod bless you deeply and this wonderful "work" you are performing!! Amen and Amen!!
*Those that profess to keep the Sabbath have NEVER kept one in accordance with Exodus 20:8-10 or Isaiah 58:13.* So, THEY LIE and think they get away with it, because NOBODY IS WATCHING. GOD IS AND HE HATES LIARS.

As a fellow ex SDA, I am thrilled that you can see the truth, and also that you have found Rob’s teachings - they are so clear, kindly given and biblically based and sound. Isn’t it amazing to find the truth? Expect some nasty push back as you share with other SDA- but don’t get discouraged. ❤️
The rest we have is that we are in Jesus. Nothing to do with a time period. And whatever day we gather together on,is to remember what Jesus did for us by His death and resurrection.
It has taken me several months watching almost every morning during breakfast, but I have managed to watch all of your full episode (not the shorts) videos. I look forward to your future videos. However, I can now share my mornings with some other teachers I have left to the side while I completed this project. I was curious and not disappointed.
That's quite the commitment... I just found this channel, how long did it take? (you mentioned 'several months') You must have enjoyed to continue to go that far. I enjoyed these 2 for sure...
@swebb77 After I found the channel I was curious and wanted to start from the begining and worked my way through all the videos. There are some that need to be grouped together like the Hebrews study.
1st John 2:3,4 with love and respect, the 4th commandment must be kept from your heart, with love towards God as our creator. How you do it is between you and God , please God with heartfelt love, don’t try to please men. I personally love the gift God has given me to rest, of course not only physical rest, but the mental rest knowing he did all the work so my sins could be forgiven. Love you all my brothers and sisters in Christ
Great presentation! I'm someone who 'remembers' the Sabbath day... I don't have any church affiliation. When we understand that Messiah IS Israel, that He IS the faithful Son, and that *we* (all humanity) are IN Christ by God's Act 1 Cor 1:30 then our faith is released to believe. The New Covenant is when God writes His Law of Love on our hearts and minds. He does that by His Spirit, 'the Spirit of Christ', 'the Spirit of God', Holy Spirit all synonymous and is the only issue. If His Spirit lives in us we are His! The Sabbath may become a test at the end that SDA's teach. Regardless,, there's a blessing in the day itself and put there by God at Creation. Jesus said it was made for us... I need all the blessings I can get! We can 'remember' every day as well, meaning that as I think about the Sabbath rest I remind myself I'm resting IN Christ for salvation! I write this on 6/15 a Sabbath Day afternoon...😊Definitely following! No one sees eye-to-eye on everything but appreciate the soundness and sincerity...
Rob i thank you for these teachings. Its difficult as SDA especially when the counter argument taught is that they still would teach the 10 commandments must be kept cause the new covenant is yhe same 10 commandments written the heart. This is why ..It is 33:46 taught that there were ceremonial and moral laws . They teach that the moral law includes 10 rules and sabbath and the ceremonial laws are the laws nailed to cross. Its difficult to believe otherwise once you sat under these for decades.
@danieloostendorp9286 3 months ago Rob i thank you for these teachings. Its difficult as SDA especially when the counter argument taught is that they still would teach the 10 commandments must be kept cause the new covenant is yhe same 10 commandments written the heart. *Of course, Christ teaches in Matthew 4:4 that man shall live by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. This is not simply a central teaching of Christ’s gospel, but it is the first line of defense Christ used to defend himself against Lucifer’s deceptive temptations. Wouldn’t you know it, among the many words that proceed out of the mouth of God in the Bible which Christ says man shall live by, Exodus 20:1-2 says it is God who is speaking here when the ten commandments were being given? So, it doesn’t really matter what SDA’s say, it matters that Christ says man shall live by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of god though. And we cannot obey that teaching of christ in Matthew 4:4 if we refuse to keep the commandments God spoke with his own mouth. Maybe this is why christ comes back after the cross and warns us that Satan is at war with commandment keepers in Revelation 12:17. So, when people pretend to be Christians and they seek to change or do away with commandments, which side of that war effort are they truly on? Christ also teaches after the cross in Revelation 22:12-14 that it is commandment keepers who are blessed and will have access into the Holy City and to the tree of life. Unfortunately, everyone else is shown in verse 15 to be stuck outside the city with zero access to the tree of life. Is that a pickle Christians really want to find themselves in because they refuse to connect Christ’s last message in the bible to Matthew 5:19 where Christ tells us what makes a person great in his kingdom as concerns commandment keeping there as well??? It also matters that Christ warns his followers to not even so much as think that he came to destroy the law in Matthew 5:17. Yet, everyone is trying to figure out some way to twist and wiggle and suggest that Christ is the one responsible for changes to God’s law: like changes to the commandments. Of course, God had Daniel 7:25 prophecy who really became the critical influence when it comes to changing God’s times and laws, namely “the little horn”. But, neither christ nor God is the little horn of Daniel 7:25 who seeks to change times and laws and wears out God’s saints. Of course, you can read the New Covenant of Jeremiah 31:31-34 a thousand times over, and there is nothing suggesting God changes the commandments in the wording of that covenant either. The covenant can be new, but that by no means necessitates a change to the commandments. What it more likely suggests is a change as to where God’s law is being written. In Old Covenant times the law was written on stone tablets and animals skins. In the New Covenant that changes to the law being written in our heart. By verse 34, the consequence of having God’s law written in our heart is that we will all know God, which is why God says there will be no more teaching others to know God like Professor Rob is doing today, along with countless other so called New Covenant Christians. But, if they had actually read the New covenant, they would know that when we are under the New Covenant for real, they will be out of a job. The fact that they keep trying to teach people to know God and what they imagine his ways to be is the proof they are violating an explicit clause of the New Covenant in Jeremiah 31:34 if they really believe we are under the New Covenant today. There will not be any more teaching along these lines as god is instructing under the New Covenant. Clearly, most New covenant Christians never got the memo. So, where did they go wrong? They fail to realize that god cannot even write his law in our heart until he deals with the condition of a heart like an adamant stone in Zechariah 7. This condition of a stony heart is defined to be those who refuse to hear God’s law and the words he sent by his Spirit through his prophets, and is the very rebellion god has Isaiah write a book about in Isaiah 30. If people keep attacking God’s law-especially his commandments and refuse to hear his law-then how can God write his law in their hearts before removing their stony heart: the source of the problem? God seeks to remedy the problem of the stony heart in Ezekiel 11 and 36 after Christ returns and gathers his people into their own land again: fulfilling the gathering of god’s people from the ends of heaven promised in Deuteronomy 30 and Matthew 24 at the last trump. And Ezekiel 18 stresses the importance of true repentance when it comes to creating in us a new heart and new spirit, the very thing you would expect to have in place when you are preparing to eventually come under the New Covenant. So, it is nice that people dream of being under the New Covenant, but we are not under the New Covenant today. None of god’s people will be confused or even remotely in doubt about the issue of god’s law when his law is written in our heart. We will not struggle to understand the implications of every instruction of that law either. We will literally know it by heart, because it will be written in our heart.* This is why ..It is 33:46 taught that there were ceremonial and moral laws . They teach that the moral law includes 10 rules and sabbath and the ceremonial laws are the laws nailed to cross. Its difficult to believe otherwise once you sat under these for decades. *Here is a fresh perspective. What if god never actually did away with the law, but instead suspended the law for a time, because his law came under question? And when his law is vindicated, then god plagues the earth, because it is appropriate to plague the earth when his law is no longer under fire and his hands are no longer tied, because his law has been proven to be both essential and righteous. Consequently, God then returns his sanctuary in Ezekiel 37, and resumes the Levitical priesthood in Isaiah 66:21, Jeremiah 33:14-18, Ezekiel 44-46, Revelation 3:12, 7 and 20:4-6 and so on, returns the requirement of circumcision of both flesh and heart from torah law in Ezekiel 44 as well. Returns the sacrifices and feasts in Ezekiel 44-46, Zechariah 14, returns Sabbaths and New Moon observances in Ezekiel 46:1-3 and Isaiah 66:22-23 and so on, suggesting that the way god helps us remove our stony heart and writes his law in our heart is by teaching and leading us how to keep his law with Christ there as our Priest/king during the thousand years, after we come out of Babylon in Revelation 18-19. Much like god did long ago when he brought the Jews out of Babylon, and Joshua in Zechariah 6 became a High Priest who was also the king who was instrumental in the rebuilding of the temple back in his day as a type of the soon coming of Christ who will do the same. Explaining why god is addressing the heart like an adamant stone in Zechariah 7 as well to prefigure how God teaches his people to overcome sin in preparation for being under the New covenant when their education in his law is finally over. But, it is Isaiah 24 that should concern us. Because the majority of people on earth today transgress god’s law, change his ordinance and break his everlasting covenant, and God says in verses 5 and 6 that this is why the curse is coming which devours the earth, causes its inhabitants to be burned, leaving few men left. Yet, those who bind up the testimony and who are sealed by his law in Isaiah 8:16 are sealed and protected. The binding up of the testimony and seal of the law in the right hand and forehead is part of the law of Deuteronomy 6. Those who do not bind up the testimony and who are not brought under the seal of God’s law, they are at risk in Revelation 14 of taking the mark of the beast in their right hand and forehead as well. But, notice, those who get the victory and stand on the sea of glass sing the song of Moses and the Lamb (meaning they understand the law and the gospels are one complete message, because Moses and Christ are the two prophets of Deuteronomy 18 who are like one another.)
In that first sunset, we can imagine how all creatures,including the first pair, were led by angels in an occasion of worship and adoration of the Author of this wonderful creation. God himself set aside this day, in which he completed the project of a new world. "On the seventh day, God finished His work that He had done and on the seventh day He rested from all His work that He had done. God blessed the seventh day andholy, because on this day He rested from all His work which He had built and made" (Genesis 2:2-3). This blessed and hallowed day was to be perpetuated as a memorial of creation and family, which was to be transformed into a day of celebration.
Mr. Solberg, your videos have been a gift to those of us who are walking/have walked in Torahism. THANK YOU! I'd like to contact you through e-mail... How can I go about doing that? Thank you.
Professor Solberg! God Bless! Thank you for your studies 🙏. I recently had a conversation about Jesus' death and resurrection; I was explaining the Jesus rested on the Saturday Sabbath for us but as the Second Day, their rebuttal is that of John 19 explaining a special Sabbath and not a Saturday Sabbath. I'm starting to believe Jesus was crucified on Thursday. Not that it really matters to me for salvation, but for arguments sake I'd like to know your thoughts about this taken John 20:1 as well.
I can agree with so much being said here. Jesus did not come to abolish the Torah but to fulfil it, meaning he demonstrated by his example how to obey the Torah by doing good. His point was that we should not obey some commandments at the expense of others, but keep all of them, even the ‚least‘ of them. Since apparently the Pharisees and Scribes were ignoring the commandments on justice, mercy and compassion, Jesus emphasised them and told his followers that unless their righteousness exceeds that of the Scribes and Pharisees they can not enter the kingdom of heaven. God is writing the Torah into our hearts and minds, not for the purpose of ignoring them but to enable us to keep them.
Hebrews 8:13 (ESV): 13 In speaking of a new covenant, he makes the first one obsolete. And what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.
@@salpezzino7803 you embarrass yourself with each post. Your golden calf idol, the Decalogue, was the words of the covenant. The ten sayings were the executive summary of the entire book of Jewish law. The table of contents of the whole book. When the entire Jewish system of sacrifice and rituals became weak, useless, and obsolete, the Decalogue also became weak, useless, and obsolete. New covenant new creations in Christ don’t need words of death written on stone. You are weak and useless, except for a little comedy with your ridiculous arrogance and ignorance. The Decalogue was the heart and soul of the old covenant. It doesn’t remain when the covenant is over.

@@terrygreenman1540 sorry, Nope. They are not the same as the law of Moses. The 10 were written with the finger of God, the law of Moses was given to Moses by Angels. Big difference The 10 were kept Inside the Ark of the Covenant, the law of Moses were Outside Big Difference You as Rob teach antinomianism, which is Heresy. Adam Clarke held, "The Gospel proclaims liberty from the ceremonial law, but binds you still faster under the moral law. To be freed from the ceremonial law is the Gospel liberty; to pretend freedom from the moral law is Antinomianism."
Claim: "It doesn't matter which day you keep, just as long as you keep one." Answer: Really? Then why did God create "the" Sabbath day? Why did God bless "the" seventh day? Why did God sanctify "the" seventh day? Why did God call the 7th day "My" Sabbath day, and "My" holy day? Why did God command His people to remember to rest on "the" seventh day (Exodus 20:8-11)? Notice God did not say "Remember one day out of seven, to keep it holy!" No. He did say, "Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy." If the Law of God is something we are to recognize as merely good advice while retaining an inability to follow its precepts, we might more appropriately title that Law, "The Ten Suggestions." Each one of God's Ten Commandments is very specific. Nothing is left to chance. Nothing is confused, not according to the scripture evidence. There is, of course, no technical difference between one day of the week and another, they are each 24 hours long, except that God said that we are to keep one specific day. This, like the tree of life versus the tree of knowledge of good and evil in the Garden of Eden, is a simple test of loyalty to God. If all the days are the same, why not keep the one God said to? If we are going to keep a day holy, why not God's day?
Thy Deciever has whisper in Thy ear, LAW, call it Law, not Torah. It all started with a word. And all the Deciever does, is put Different definitions forward to Thy Words spoken. It truly is that simple to sway man...
God looked at everything He had made, and„ behold, they were very good”. Gradually, the sun set, which marked the beginning of the seventh day. We could not believe that, at the close of the week of a new creation, the God of beauty would not have celebrated this great event. For this reason, (I believe) in the outpouring of the sunset, choirs of angels sang a song of praise for all that had been created. Even though the sun was setting, in the presence of the Creator and His angels, it was not night.„ When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy” (Job 38,7) In the glory and unimaginable freshness, the Sabbath and the first wedding of the most beautiful couple took place. All nature was in celebration.These two are the most attacked by satan's tools!
Didn’t he touch on that in his back and forth with David ? I assumed he pointed to Jesus being the ultimate sacrifice where animal sacrifice is no longer necessarily
The organizing principles of Messiah teachings are all based on 100% Torah. Which, by the way, Torah explains how tp LOVE YAHWAY, Not with legalized structures, but of the heart, HIS heart. As demonstrated by the Messiah. HAL LA UH YAH
Jeremiah 31:31-34 (ESV): The New Covenant 31 “Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah, 32 not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, my covenant that they broke, though I was their husband, declares the Lord. 33 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 34 And no longer shall each one teach his neighbor and each his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, declares the Lord. For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.”
Thank You for your opinion I disagree though. I think if you would do the research in Hebrews ch 4 v1-11 in KJB and also in the Aramaic English New Testament.You might give it a read, at least it could give you more insight. I thank you kindly.
41:45 Well , you finished strong,,,strongly ironic! Romans 12:2 is very relevant to be sure. So honest question, what is the pattern of this world when it comes to a weekly day of rest?
If legalism could make a man holy the Pharisees and teachers of the Law would have been the most righteous men that ever lived, but the Lord rebuked them in Matthew 23.
@Vincent-gc3cusin is simply missing the mark. We are no longer under the Levitical priesthood laws. We are under the laws of Jesus in the priesthood of Judah. There is a change and Jesus showed many demonstrations of the changes to come. Sin is now missing the mark according to the covenant God made with us through Jesus. “Now if perfection had been attainable through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people received the law), what further need would there have been for another priest to arise after the order of Melchizedek, rather than one named after the order of Aaron? For when there is a change in the priesthood, there is necessarily a change in the law as well.” Hebrews 7:11-12 No christians believes that God has no laws, we just believe that the laws he wants us to keep and follow are the ones Jesus and his disciples demonstrated for us to follow. The ones we don’t want to follow are the ones that was spoken to not follow. Who am I to go against Jesus
@@MrGainessin is lawlessness and missing the mark of the glorious standard of Jesus. Sin in the new covenant is breaking the law of Christ. The law of Christ is to love perfectly. We are all messed up. Some of the most messed up people on earth are religious people. It’s ok to be messed up. Jesus loves messed up people. Your statement is true. I wholeheartedly agree.
@Vincent-gc3cu God has instructed his body of believers to be on the lookout 👀 for false prophets and heretics. 👀 I see you. Humans are the species that constantly makes evaluations and judgments. Paul exhorts the church to be on guard and watch for the dogs and the evil doers. You are an annoying dog barking at the body of Christ.
Isaiah 66:23 (KJV) And it shall come to pass, [that] from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD. Many other verses speak of the end days about all other nations shall keep and worship on the Sabbath and all the Holy days . Read it for yourselves.
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death [Exodus 31:14-15; Exodus 35:1-2; Numbers 15:32-36; 2 Corinthians 3:7], but the gracious gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord [Matthew 11:28-30; Hebrews 4]. (NASB)
Mr Solberg, could you explain Gen 2:2-3. The word Shabbat (sabbath) is not the Hebrew word for rest but Shabath (to cease). The seventh day of creation had no evening and morning like the other 6days, which leads me to think that the seventh day was not only a sabbath but eternal and made Holy, Sanctified because the Lord’s work was complete, good. Hebrews 4 tells us to enter into His rest, eternal life, like the sabbath of creation week, eternal.
Here Are Examples Of Paul Keeping Torah: * Circumcised Timothy (Acts 16:1-3) * Took the nazarite vow (Acts 18:18; 21:17-26) * Taught and observed Gods holy days such as: * Passover (Acts 20:6; 1Cor. 5:6-8; 11:17-34) * Shavuot (Pentecost) (Acts 20:16; 1Cor. 16:8) * Fasting on Yom Kippur (Acts 27:9) . Paul and others made a Temple sacrifice for their Nazarite vow, . So Paul went to the Temple the next day with the other men. They had already started the purification ritual, so he publicly announced the date when their vows would end and sacrifices would be offered for each of them. Acts 21:26 . . Paul kept the Sabbath Acts 18:4 - And he (Paul) reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks.(Gentiles) . . Paul taught that a believer in Yeshua the Messiah is saved by grace through faith (Ephesians 2:8-9). . After we are saved by grace through faith, Paul taught that we should follow the Torah (Romans 3:28-31). . . Paul followed the Torah through the help of the Holy Spirit (Romans 7:22). . . Paul did not teach people to observe the law in order to be saved or justified. . . That was not the purpose of the law. . . He taught them to observe the law in order to honor God as they walked out the Christian life in the footsteps of their Lord Jesus. . . By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep HIS commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. .....1 John 5:2-3 KJV . . I dont have all the bible answers but IF Messiah declared the unclean, clean, by abolishing the Law of Elohim His PERFECT TORAH, Psalms 19:7, Instructions, Teachings for righteous SET APART living in this evil wicked world then HE SINNED by transgressing Deut 4:2 AND that would make Isaiah a False Prophet for making this end time prophesy of Messiahs return ….. Isaiah 66:15-17 . For, behold, the LORD will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire. . 16 For by fire and by his sword will the LORD plead with all flesh: and the slain of the LORD shall be many. . 17 They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one [tree] in the midst, eating swine's flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, saith the LORD.
Matthew 24: 20 Christ says to "pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, *neither on the sabbath day:"* First, let's all be honest. Mt. 24:20 does NOT say anything about Christians keeping the Sabbath. The implicit argument from the supposed Sabbath keepers is that, Mt. 24:20 shows that the disciples would be keeping the Sabbath and therefore, would not be able to *"flee"* on the Sabbath day. Therefore, they should pray to God begging Him to not make them brake the Sabbath by *"fleeing"* even if it were to save their own lives. It's a rather preposterous doctrine, *because God has no problem with anyone fleeing for their own safety on the Sabbath.* Christ taught you can break the Sabbath to pull an ox out of the ditch, so saving your life and the life of your loved ones on the Sabbath is not a sin. So, what is the meaning? It doesn't say Christians are keeping the Sabbath, although, it would be possible that Jewish Christians at the time of Christ could be keeping the Sabbath in Jerusalem. Nonetheless, there is only one thing that would remotely cause Christians to be concerned about fleeing on the Sabbath and that is that the Pharisees forbid running or even walking very far on the Sabbath because it was deemed "Work" and therefore, they should be persecuted, hunted down and stoned according to the law of Moses. Mt. 24:20 has an implicit warning about the Pharisees and those of the law, going to persecute and murder the Christians for breaking the Sabbath not teaching Sabbath keeping to the entire world, as they would have you believe. Once again, the shoddy and desperate abuse of the scripture of the Adventists and their like is exposed. And, trust me, those who CLAIM, to keep the Sabbath have no problem SECRETLY breaking the Sabbath fleeing or not. If you are keeping the Sabbath day, you won't be the ones fleeing, you will be in church and "resting" . However, throughout, the New Testament, the Sabbath keepers are persecuting and murdering the Christians. In 70 AD those that escaped left Jerusalem before the day of judgment on Jerusalem. What's odd is that the Sabbath keepers remained and were destroyed.
The Adventists and their like are so deceptive. They will tell you that the Law of Moses doesn't include the Sabbath. But, they know they are lying when they say it. Because as soon as they read Acts 15:21 *they immediately say it means that the Gentiles WERE TO LEARN MOSES at the synagogues!** Acts 15:21 does not say at all what Adventists and their like *claim to send to Gentile Christians to Jewish Synagogue to learn Moses!* The entire chapter of Acts 15 and most of Acts 16 is a condemnation of the abuse of Christ's name and gospel to preach MOSES! Every sentence in every verse and every word of Acts 15 is condemnation of those who would dare preach Moses to the Gentile Christians. *In fact they very reason why the Apostles wrote letters, is because the Jews were preaching MOSES! So, the Apostles sent out a DECREE, telling the Jewish Christians not to pester, nag or intimidate the Gentile Christians that were coming to Christ, by faith!* And the decree from the Apostles and bishops of the Church is a direct commandment by the Holy Spirit (God Almighty) to leave the Gentiles ALONE, who are coming to Christ in writing! Moreover, once more, the Adventist say Moses' Law is all *"CEREMONIAL"* and Done Away at the cross! Once again, I catch them in their own deceptive practices! It goes to show how everyone that the SDA all know they are lying when they say the 10 commandments are part of the law of Moses! They all are so dishonest! How do they live with themselves?! *Acts 15:21 does not say at all what Adventists and their like claim to send to Gentile Christians to Jewish Synagogue to learn Moses!* The entire chapter of Acts 15 and most of Acts 16 is a condemnation of the abuse of Christ's name and gospel to preach MOSES! Every sentence in every verse and every word of Acts 15 is condemnation of those who would dare preach Moses to the Gentile Christians.

It goes to show how everyone that the SDA all know they are lying when they say the 10 commandments are part of the law of Moses! They all are so dishonest! How do they live with themselves?!
@@chucksmith4624 the context for acts is right there in verse 1. Men were teaching that you must get circumcised first when coming into the faith. They were teaching against God's law
Mr solberg, could you please explain isiaha 66:22-24 and zechariah 14:9-19 and revaluation 21:1-3 and isiaha 2:1-4. It seems the old customs will be reinstalled
@@jessedonaldson2536 It's so fascinating that many cults love to take Isaiah 66 out of context with faulty biblical hermanutics. It doesn't matter if you're a part of the Hebrew roots movement or the 7 day adventists or even the black Hebrew Israelites Isaiah 66 also talked about bringing back the Levitical priesthood as well. This is a problem because the book of Hebrews talks about the Levitical priesthood being obsolete.
Now we can keep the obsolete old covenant if we don’t do it legalistically, we can keep it even though it was nailed to the cross and vanished away, this is very interesting!
When were you an Israelite? I’ve never been an Israelite or a Jew but a Gentile and no Gentile ever received the law Acts 15. Christian’s are to keep the law of Christ
Hi Michael. Actually what I said is keeping the old covenant _rituals_ is permitted but not required. (e.g., seventh day Sabbath, kosher diet, feast, circumcision.) I also said that keeping them will not add a microgram to our righteousness or our salvation. That only comes through faith in Jesus. Shalom, RLS
@@TheBiblicalRoots Are you saying that God permits Christians to perform the feasts of unleavened bread,feast of trumpets, feast of tabernacles, etc. that pointed to Jesus as their fulfillment? Are you saying that the Jews are permitted to continue in their round of ceremonies and at the same time except Jesus as the fulfillment of those ceremonies?
0:18 The first choice, 6 “And the foreigners who join themselves to the Lord, to minister to him, to love the name of the Lord, and to be his servants, everyone who keeps the Sabbath and does not profane it, and holds fast my covenant- 7 these I will bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer; their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be accepted on my altar; for my house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples.”
Isaiah 56:6-7 was referenced by Jesus in Matthew 21:13, Mark 11:17, and Luke 19:46. This promise says the Sabbath-keeping foreigners will be brought to God's holy mountain and house of prayer where their burnt offerings and sacrifices will be accepted on the altar. Is this a reference to the Temple destroyed in 70AD, or a future temple, or both?
@dancingzolins6782 Yes, its our sacrifice now, Atonement payment made. There is no temple now, We need to repent and turn around Our way of Life and except HIS way of life. For this is the Love of HIS Name.❤
For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us: 1Co 5:8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. Paul commanding to keep the Passover . the jewish passover
Hi, Jason! Personally, I've never heard a Torah-keeper say that. But it's not out of the question that some on the more extreme end of the spectrum might hold that view. RLS
To the majority, no. Jesus broke the man made traditions of the Pharisees purposefully to show them their disobedience. Jesus said it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath. There is no command that goes against loving your neighbor as yourself, nor is there one against loving God with all of your heart. This is why the priests ministered in the temple on the Sabbath: God's law says to. An example of Jesus correcting the Pharisees is: Matthew 15:1-3 [1]Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying, [2]Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread. [3]But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition? Matthew 15:8-9 [8]This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. [9]But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. I skipped a few verses for brevity. This is the same chapter where people say Jesus did away with the food laws, even though He is preaching obedience to God's law (a.k.a. the law of Moses) rather than men teaching their own laws. Back to what Jesus said, it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath. Paul says this: Romans 7:12 [12]Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good. Mr. Solberg followed what Jesus said about mercy rather than sacrifice back to Hosea, but it goes back to Saul in 1 Samuel 15. Saul disobeyed God and gave excuses, keeping the animals to sacrifice to God and sparing Agag. He told Samuel that he had been obedient. Samuel tells Saul: 1 Samuel 15:22-23 [22]And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams. [23]For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king. To obey is better than sacrifice. This lines up perfectly with what Mr. Solberg neglected to read in Hosea. Hosea 6:4-7 [4]O Ephraim, what shall I do unto thee? O Judah, what shall I do unto thee? for your goodness is as a morning cloud, and as the early dew it goeth away. [5]Therefore have I hewed them by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of my mouth: and thy judgments are as the light that goeth forth. [6]For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings. [7]But they like men have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against me. This also lines up perfectly with what Jesus said. The Pharisees were condemning people based on their commands, not God's. Professing to be obedient, but rebelling instead.
The ritual is permitted, such as circumcision, feasts etc. Provided we do it not as a requirement for salvation but as a celebration that points towards Christ, as He is our Sabbath. He is the substance to which the shadows in the Law and Prophets pointed towards. At least that is my understanding of it! God bless 😁
@@AlstonMurrayyou can’t observe a ritual that doesn’t exist. New covenant new creations in Christ enter God’s rest through Jesus. Christians keep sabbath everyday by not lifting a finger or burning one calorie working to attain or maintain righteousness. The form of sabbath changed when the better high priest eat a better covenant based upon better promises and necessarily established a new and better law. Judaizers suck.
My bad - spell check guy was on a break. Jesus established a new and better law. Book of Hebrews is a compare and contrast book. Jesus is the better high priest who changed the law. If you choose love perfectly today, you have kept the law of Christ. You will fail - it’s ok to fail.
Deuteronomy 23:25 “When you enter your neighbor’s standing grain, you may pluck the heads of grain with your hand, but you are not to use a sickle on your neighbor’s standing grain.“ (NASB) Matthew 12:1 At that time Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath, and His disciples became hungry and began to pick the heads of grain and eat. 2 Now when the Pharisees saw this, they said to Him, “Look, Your disciples are doing what is not lawful to do [Talmud] on a Sabbath!”
Why did you wait until sabbath to mow the old lady's lawn? Last summer I caught a couple of LDS kids failing to reach an old lady who lived in the neighborhood. Before they left I pointed out the height of the grass they were wading through and convinced them to come back the next day to mow it😂
Did Jesus enjoy healing or was it simply work? Jesus was always working. He broke every Shabbat. Here’s John McArthur on what Jesus could do on Shabbat: “ Anything he wanted to do.” And I’m not a McCarthur guy, but he’s correct.
The cry of "old covenant" is not necessary. The sabbath day is clearly defined as a covenant between God and Israel (Ex. 31:12-17). The church, or body of Christ is not Gentile and it is not Israel, it is "one new man" and "a perfect man" (Eph. 2:15; 4:13). This new entity (the body of Christ/church) was never commanded to keep a sabbath day. Paul taught that squabbling over certain foods and specific days of observance were a stumblingblock between believers (Rom. 14:1-15:12). This stumblingblock remains today, as different 'denominations' argue over legalistic nonsense that has nothing to do with the work of Christ on the cross.
Hi Elijah. Here's a study we did on that verse that might help: *How do Christians uphold the law? A bible study on Romans 3:31* ua-cam.com/video/X8on5zSXv0Q/v-deo.html Blessings, RLS
@@TheBiblicalRoots I appreciate your response but it is becoming more apparent that many Christians are using interpretations to explain away the Bible similar to what the Jews do to Isaiah 53. That is why you have three interpretations. The Bible is very clear regarding God's moral law. “For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law. So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty”? (James 2:10-12) Why would Christ come and die and pay the penalty of transgression if He would just abolish His law? A rejection of Gods moral law is a rejection of the perfect sacrifice of Christ on the cross. Jesus says, “Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.” (Matthew 7:21) Jesus tells them “I never knew you”. “This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.” (Read Matthew 15:3-9) “For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law. So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty”? (James 2:10-12) For further study READ: Matthew 5:17-19; Matthew 15:3-6; Mark 7:6-9; Mark 2:27,28; Matthew 19:17-22; Luke 16:7; Mark 10:19-21; John 14:15; Romans 3:31; Romans 7:12; 1 Corinthians 7:19; Romans 7:22-25; Romans 8:1-4; Revelation14:12: Revelation 22:14; James 2:11,12; 1 John 3:4; Roman 7:7; Roman 13:9,10; Genesis 2:1-3; Luke 23:54,56.
The law is perfect. Psalm 19.7 Jesus taught the the way to keep the law. The Sabbath was never not to be kept. Jesus showed the way to keep it. Luke 4.16
Galatians 2:16 (ESV): 16 yet we know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified.
Why dont we celebrate on Sat as God intended but excuse the celebration on Sun. This makes no sense why we celebrate on Sun. What was wrong with celebrating it on Sat.
Sabbath keeping Part 2 Matthew 12, Jesus’ disciples were gleaning on the Sabbath. According to Talmudic law plucking=harvesting, removing husks=winnowing, chewing=grinding, The Pharisees were forcing poor people to starve on the Sabbath. God allows us to keep his law on the Sabbath. That’s the order and priority. If you need to work really hard at not killing someone on the Sabbath, you better do that. These are time sensitive Exceptions, fleeing for one’s own life, pulling your sheep from a ditch, etc. If a boy is born on Shabbat, he must be circumcised on the following Shabbat, and a Moyle must perform this. However, your elderly neighbor is not going to die if you wait to cut their grass on Sunday. 3:35 Remez, Yes I agree Jesus was using Remez in this case, but you got everything else wrong. You’d like to believe Jesus was speaking to his disciples and giving some sermon on the mount/beatitudes type of teaching. The fact is, Jesus was speaking to the Pharisees, and the hint (the blank that the Pharisees were to fill in) was “the knowledge of God” knowledge being the virtue prized above all by the Pharisees. Jesus was saying to the Pharisees, You don’t even know God, or his word. If they did they would not have condemned the innocent, because they would have known they were doing nothing wrong. Kinda makes more sense, right? Luke 6:9 Jesus is showing the contrast between his disciples gleaning on the Sabbath, and the Pharisees adding to Gods commands on the Sabbath. Gleaning=lawful, adding to Gods word=unlawful, eating food=saving life, starving poor people on the Sabbath=destroying life. John 5:8 Many, if not most of Jesus’ miracles were coupled with breaking man made traditions. Proving he was God, and that Shiloh has come Gen. 49:10. John 5:17 So they way you understand this verse, Jesus broke the Sabbath, admitted to breaking the Sabbath, and is a sinner, and Jesus accused God of also being a sinner??? I think you missed something. 11:55 “The entire posture changes toward the Sabbath” Jesus is simply countering the overzealous strivings of the Sabbath by the Pharisees. Jesus gave no commandments regarding the Sabbath, because he already did in the Torah. Where in the Torah does it state “Any command not repeated by Shiloh when he comes are null and void”? Or that any man, or even God himself can abrogate any part of the Law? “Jesus didn’t rebuke anyone for failing to keep the Sabbath” where is that example? Who did Jesus encounter not keeping the Sabbath? Everyone was keeping the Sabbath. Everyone was keeping the Sabbath in error, in accordance with Pharisaical tradition, and he rebuked that. Yeah many commands were repeated in the New Testament, those commands were not being followed. “The silence on the Sabbath command is notable” on a word per page ratio, Sabbath is mentioned more often in the New Testament than the Old. It’s been a while since I’ve researched this, but I remember it being almost 2 to 1. Romans 14:5 One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. 6 He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks. Compare with: Zachariah 7:5 Speak unto all the people of the land, and to the priests, saying, When ye fasted and mourned in the fifth and seventh month, even those seventy years, did ye at all fast unto me, even to me? 6 And when ye did eat, and when ye did drink, did not ye eat for yourselves, and drink for yourselves? This is not about the Sabbath, it’s about fasting, weekly frequency, and traditions. Jesus does not replace our rest. We encounter Jesus in our rest when we rest with him on the Sabbath. Let me explain, in Matt 7:23 Jesus says “And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.” I never knew you… How do you get to know someone? By spending time with them, mostly. Jesus is saying, we never hung out together, we never spent the day together, you never came to any of my parties, we were never in the same place at the same time. Gods Sabbaths are his appointed times, appointments, you have appointments with God, and you don’t show up. I keep hearing the word “required” all I can say is (speaking for myself) when your given the gift of the Holy Spirit. You are endowed with the God given power to keep Gods Torah, the Holy Spirit encourages and empowers you to keep Gods commandments. Gods seventh day Sabbath such a joy and blessing, from my perspective this attitude is so foreign to me, I don’t even understand it. I’m not questioning anyones faith (that’s Jesus’ job) it just seems like their Holy Spirit has been quenched and diminished to a point of ineffective/inactive as if they’ve hid their talent in the earth. I’ve seen a lot of teaching against keeping Gods Torah/Sabbath from people who literally have zero experience in the matter, but act as though they are expert. I’ve also seen many horror stories about people leaving the “Hebrew roots movement” some may be legitimate, there are many cult like sects, but also many of those stories sound contrived. We are living through the age of deceit , and the answer to it is not compromise. You need to decide Did God and Satan completely switch sides on this issue at the Cross, because we know for a fact, that before the Cross God was very pro Torah, and Satans’ role was to get people to do anything but Gods’ Torah. So what then, did God and Satan just switch seats? Peace
Not at all! It won't add anything to our righteousness, and it is not a requirement of obedience or salvation, but followers of Jesus are free to keep the seventh day Sabbath if we choose. Blessings, RLS

Colossians 2:16-17 (NLT): 16 So don’t let anyone condemn you for what you eat or drink, or for not celebrating certain holy days or new moon ceremonies or Sabbaths. 17 For these rules are only shadows of the reality yet to come. And Christ himself is that reality.
I appreciate your zeal, but why all the emphasis of training others to think like you. You missed so many concepts about the sabbath that created . It's not a man made decree. It is God decreed
He is confused about the Law of our LORD God Jesus Christ to the Law of Moses. The Law of our LORD God Jesus Christ is the Ten Commandments which is binding up to our time and the Law of Moses which is the Ceremonial Law is no longer binding in our time. Jesus said: in John 14:15 The Promise of the Comforter: John 14:15,21 & 26 15 If ye love me, keep my commandments. 21 He that hath my commandments and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. 26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
The new covenant didn't start until his death? Solberg you have a lot of explaining to do, are you telling me they didn't know that animal sacrifices were done away with many many years after the cross? Acts 21? You are in contradiction
Hebrews 9:17 English Standard Version 17 For a will takes effect only at death, since it is not in force as long as the one who made it is alive. I believe this is what he meant about the New Covenant...
In loving kindness, and as your humble servant. As a former so-called “Sunday Keeping” Christian, and now seventh day, I disagree with your biblical perspective on some of the core references you presented as follows. May a mustard seed of faith be found and grow in me and your readers' heart from the discussion, if any. My intent is not so much to persuade you that so-called “keeping” of the seventh day sabbath is even possible by yourself without God for salvation, but to implore you to search your conscience. May I implore the same, to use scripture for reproving sound doctrine on the matter in coordination with the Holy Spirit (Timothy 3:16). First, I think you may have fallen into the deception that when reading about the (false) actions, words, and teachings of the Pharisees, that (their intended) false teachings were in any way inspired to help their audience. No, the Pharisees can't be our example, nor should you consider them having wisdom because they were a generation of vipers (Mat12:34,Mat5:20.) When you read in the gospels according to the apostles what the Pharisees (falsely) taught and thought, it was almost certainly unscriptural. Meaning, there was already scripture written and available which reproved all the Pharisees' false doctrine in most cases. In every other relevant so-called exceptional so-called unclear trick/deception presented by the Pharisees, our Savior has perfectly clarified. The same our Savior clarified for the reference you mentioned (Mat12:11-12) 6:03 min mark …on picking the heads of grain, and in reference to the priestly duties. I can’t fathom how our hearts must have become so blinded by the time our Savior came, that He had to clarify “It is lawful to do good on the Sabbath”, because the Pharisees pretended not to see this clearly in the scriptures written of God by his own finger (Exe31:18) and the prophets already. It is also likewise unfathomable how these beautiful verses about God’s saving of life, and miracles happening for us (especially on the Sabbath) can be perceived against believing anything God has already said through the prophets in scripture confirming these things about the Sabbath (Isa 58:13) and what God spake Himself from heaven (Exe20:1-19). Likewise, Matt12:8 also Luk6:5, and Mark2:27 do NOT falsify the Sabbath, but confirm that it was made for ALL mankind not only Jews, and has existed as an institution since creation (Gen2:1-3), and that the Father and Son are one (Joh10:30.) Based on how many errors in such obvious meaning and teaching that were missed in part 1 and part 2 of this series so far, and how they were presented as foundational to your understanding of the inspiration to the so-called “(a) christian First-Day, Sun-Day sabbath”, I hesitate to comment how one can maintain the so-called Tension of Sabbath in Scripture 16:49 min mark and beyond as presented is reproof for sound doctrine (Timothy 3:16). Your main argument at this point if I am not misrepresenting the view is that “Because I currently can not clearly see a good enough reference for me to the so-called Sabbath “Keeping” in the New Testament, I am free to … declare my own day of rest (on the first day instead of the seventh day) for which God must honor and declare as Holy as Gen2:2-3 and elsewhere because… I-Because-it-so.`` Forgive me, is this your opinion (Isa14:13)? I gathered, as you stated, to potentially “help us” choose the first day as “A sabbath”... was that it was convenient for you… because you prefer grading papers on the seventh day? Or is it because your friends have also chosen to gather only on the first day based on a similar moral stance? I have heard seemingly biblical rationale for Sunday meetings relating to a devout belief in what our Savior actually did, not a conjecture on what they think the scripture does NOT say regarding this topic has something secret profound for meditation on what is not in the scriptures. Did not our savior say he did nothing in secret (Joh 18:20)? Is there a reason you didn’t even touch an obvious and potentially plausible doctrine why to meet on the First day based on what our Savour did? Do you not like the source of that doctrine or is it not convincing to you? I hope I have not offended you too bitterly. Ask God if so-called “Sabbath Keeping” is foundational to salvation. I for one am sure salvation is believe in the Only begotten Son of the Father Joh3:16, and yea even in His Name (Joh1:12). However I think it is important to be honest about what the scriptures have to say so that one can make an informed conscientious decision on something as potentially reproof as as the decalogue, and the Sabbath. Please let me know if you disagree based on scripture and the Holy Spirit. Blessings.
Claim: "As Christians, we are under grace and thus aren't supposed to keep the Sabbath." Answer: Why would Christians twist his words to mean that being "under grace" gives them a license to break God's fourth commandment by substituting some other day for the 7th day? Would Sunday keeping Christians use the very same logic and say that being "under grace" means they can break God's sixth commandment: "You shall not murder?" Did God say, "You shall not murder except when you are under grace?" No. Being "under grace" simply means the blood of Christ has forgiven us and we are no longer under the condemnation of the Law - it does not mean we are free to sin by disobeying God.
@@6969smurfy Google "Common Objections for Not Keeping the Sabbath" and you'll find an article (Ecclesia) that literally addresses every claim against the observance of the Sabbath. The Sabbath is biblical. I just wish they could see it.
@frazierwoods9912 well, only YAH/God can open theirs eyes. All's we can do is hopefully plant the seed.... that they will have to nurture it with Thy Fathers Help
If you notice Solberg is constantly contradicting himself. First he says Jesus expects Jewish believers to keep the sabbath in the end times in Matthew 24, then he says it was done away with. Which is it ? How do you know you're not an Israelite? How do you know I'm not a descendent from one of the tribes? This dispensation theology gets destroyed pretty quickly
Words are important, Indo. If you watch this video again, you will notice that I never said "Jesus expects Jewish believers to keep the sabbath in the end times." What I said was, "Jesus clearly anticipates that his Jewish followers will continue to keep the Sabbath." The difference? Jesus _knew_ observance of a seventh-day Sabbath would continue, but He did not _require_ it to continue. Also, I never said the seventh day Sabbath was "was done away with," I said it is "permitted nut not required." Also, I'm not a dispensationalist. Shalom, RLS
@@TheBiblicalRoots so there are Israelites during the end times that he anticipates will keep the sabbath. Who and where are these Israelites that he anticipates will keep this Sabbath? Meaning how do you know you are not an israelite?
@@indo3052 Hi Indo. I know I am not an Israelite because I am not a member of the ancient Hebrew nation. And my Ancestry.com results indicate no Jewish ancestry. Also, I believe in Matt 24:20 Jesus was referring to the destruction of the temple which happened in 70 AD, not the end times. And, again, the seventh day Sabbath observance was never forbidden or prohibited. It is permitted but not required for all followers of Jesus, whether they are Jewish or Gentile. Shalom! RLS
@@TheBiblicalRoots You said Jesus anticipates them to keep it in end times. I thought you were referring to end times meaning the time before the Messiah comes. But I guess you were referring to 70 ad end times
@@TheBiblicalRoots so your stance is that this has already passed? Mat 24:9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.

Mat 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
You just quoted Galatians two. That is not rebuking Peter for doing God's law .....that is Judaism... the law doesn't permit such behavior. You are not supposed to to treat uncircumcised differently. Paul rebuke Peter for doing Judaism and he called it works of the law . You completely misrepresented galations two
This is not a case for the Sabbath as you proclaim. It's a case for making God in your own image. The New testament born again experience wasn't first mentioned in the gospel accounts. It's first mentioned in Deuteronomy 30, Ezekiel 36, and Jeremiah 31....and what is the result of that born again experience according to Tanakh? Correct! It is obedience to Torah. "I will Remove your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh and I will place my spirit within you to cause you to walk in my statutes and my regulations." But wait, doesn't Paul talk about that very same thing in his mail, I mean midrash, to the Torah observant Jewish Rabbi in charge of the synagogue in Rome? I think he does. In Romans 2 it says, "For it is not merely the hearers of Torah that are considered righteous, rather it is the doers of what Torah says who will be made righteous in God's sight, for whenever gentiles, who have no Torah, begin to do naturally (through the leading of the Ruach HaKodesh) what the Torah requires, then even these, have become Torah!! According to God, Moshe, Ezekiel, Jeremiah, Yeshua Rabbeinu and even Paul, the result of the born again experience should be Torah observance. Anything other than that, and youre being led astray by your desires and lusts, and the doctrines of evil men. Or, in the worst case scenario, your 'Jesus' is not the Jewish messiah, King of Israel, Son of God, Son of David or any other title you wish to give him. Instead, according to Deut 13, he's the false prophet sent by God to take you away from the mitzvot which are designed to draw you close to Him.
Hi, RR! I teach and believe that obedience to God is of utmost importance for believers. We are to submit to His authority over our lives. Jesus said, “If you love me, you will keep my commandments” (John 14:15). And I’m sure you would agree that not every command God has given applies to every person at all times. Some only apply to certain people (i.e., men, women, parents, Levitical priests) or at certain times (i.e., building an ark, gathering manna, while in exile). And I’m sure you would also agree that we are each only expected to keep the commands of God that apply to us. The NT expressly teaches that many of the commands given under the Old Covenant Law do not apply to Christians today. (ex. Repeated blood sacrifices for sin are no longer required (Heb 10:18).) We still serve God and obey His commands, “But now we are released from the law, having died with Christ to that which held us captive, so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit and not in the old way of the written code” (Rom 7:6). “If you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law: (Gal. 5:18). So, no, when Jesus speaks of being born again, he is not talking about keeping the Old Covenant law, but rather the New Covenant law. Blessings, RLS
@@TheBiblicalRoots yes, I agree that the covenant relationship with Hashem has a hierarchy and those at the Top are servants to those on the bottom. What is applicable to men is not applicable to women, children, priests, etc. This is not a new thing. It's always been that way. Look at how much of a servant Abraham was. Even Yeshua, after healing the lepers, still sent the healed person to the priests for the purification ritual. Even Yeshua was subject to the authority of the priests so the hierarchy was in place even for Yeshua. This is why there were no discussions about gentile conversions because Adonai had already passed along through Abraham the established process for proselytes. Doesn't Yeshua give everyone the guidance, "listen to Rabbis and be sure to do all they instruct you for their authority comes from Moshe"? I paraphrased, but that's basically what it says. The Messiah absolutely rebukes, and reproves and that rebuke and correction doesn't end with the son of God. Doesn't judgment come to the house of the Lord first? And where/who is the house of the Lord? Oh yeah, Judah and Israel. This is to whom the New Covenant belongs, as a goyim you don't get the new covenant until you circumcise your heart and submit to Judah. You have to become like the mixed multitudes that came out of Egypt with Israel. And Genesis 49:10 still holds true. The scepter of power and authority rests with Judah until they give it to Shiloh. Esav must grab a hold of his brother and truly love him. You can't love God the way He desires to be loved until you love Ya'akov, honor Ya'akov and respect Ya'akov. Regarding your current understanding: It is very possible the idea of Jesus is a god you've created in your mind and not the Jewish Messiah as described in Tanakh. If the Jewish Messiah doesn't lead you to Torah observance, he can't be the Messiah. Jesus, by your understanding, is the prophet sent by God to test you and separate you from God (Deuteronomy 13). John of Patmos envisioned a people that obeyed God's commandments and had their testimony in Yeshua (Revelation 12:17). Paul sacrificed in Acts 21 when he was purified along with the other four (vow of Nazir - Num.16) as directed by the Jerusalem council. Paul believed in circumcision (Galatians 5:11) and explains earlier in Galatians that Titus wasn't forced. So did Titus choose to be circumcised of his own recognizance because the Ruach was leading him in accordance with Romans 2? And what about the millennial kingdom reign as spoken of in Ezekiel 40-45, especially Ezekiel 45 where the prince (that is supposed to be Messiah, and according to you, Jesus) offers up sacrifices on his behalf and on behalf of the people? How or why is this possible if your Jesus paid it all on the cross and there is no more sacrifice? And speaking of a comment you made reference:, "let no one judge you regarding a Sabbath day, new moon festival...etc" Paul sent this letter/midrash via Pony Express to Colossia. Is it possible that he sent it to a Rabbi in charge of a Jewish Synagogue in Colossia and that the congregation was Torah observant but surrounded by Greeks and Romans that ridiculed them for obeying the Lord's moedim? If so, then the whole entire meaning of that passage turns on its head. What if all the "churches" Paul sent a midrash to was an actual Synagogue, led by Jewish Rabbis that also believed in Yeshua? Wasn't Timothy circumcised for that purpose, so he could be a legitimate Jewish Rabbi sent by Paul? Seems like to me, Yeshua and Paul agree, salvation is of, and from, the Jews. And Israel must be a light to the nations because God's word said so and His word does not return to Him void. I spent my whole seeing Yeshua in the Tanakh just like you. Moshe, Isaac, Noach, Joseph....all symbolic of Yeshua. What is Yeshuas' life symbolic of Rob? What if the life of Yeshua is a concentrated version of the story of Israel? If Yeshua arose from the dead, how will the other son of God, Israel, rise from the dead? Is it possible that the answer is the unification between law and love as described in Ezekiel 36? Shouldn't the unification of law and love cause the resurrection of those in the valley of dry bones and the two sticks being joined together as depicted in Ezekiel 37? There is no other way to reach Judah and hold on to your current understanding. You have to let it go. If you don't, you run the chance of being one of those that "scatter the flock of the Lord". And this is not a good position to be in.
35:30 Why do you fail to say that the Sabbath is a reminder of creation, that it is the identity marker of the Creator? Deny it if you will, but the scripture inseparably connects the seventh day to creation. Question, other then "because God said so", why do you supposed we currently have a seven day week?
You are ignorant. Sit down, shut up, and listen. Shabbat was rooted in creation and deliverance. The first set of tablets became dust on the desert floor. In the second set there is no mention of creation. It’s why Torah heretics always quote Exodus and not Deuteronomy. Deuteronomy 5:15 is Moses speaking to Israel; not you. “ You shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and the Lord your God brought you out of there with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm. Therefore the Lord your God commanded you to keep the sabbath day.” Hello, are you awake? Jesus being creator saves no one. Jesus being a propitiation and redeemer saves sinners. Here’s Paul being astounded that anyone can be exposed to Christ crucified and still think days of the week are relevant in the new covenant. “ You observe days and months and seasons and years! I am afraid I have labored over you in vain.” Galatians 4:10. Note the inspired exclamation point. I work 12 hours every Saturday and 10 hours every Sunday. I like taco Tuesday. I consider every day the same, and it’s not about fasting as perverters of scripture proclaim. Every day believers rest in Christ. Every day is a sabbath of sorts. The literal sabbath as a shadow law placed precisely in the center of the words of the covenant, ended when the promise to Abraham as fulfilled. A conditional covenant God did not make with you, and a covenant that that has not existed in 2,000 years.
Rob, your first Minute Rebuttal. Thy pharisees of the day. Thought Man’s Torah, Messiah showed us how to properly apply Torah by doing Good. Torah in this Case Sabbaths, Had Been corrupted by MAN, made “a yoke, made burdensome “ Now today’s Man, teaches against Torah… MAN is corrupted when in leadership positions that do not follow the word Torah correctly, With the heart, not your heart, but hHIS heart…. Messiah Was the Walking Talking TORAH, no GO, follow HIM. Not the wayward religions of man.
There is one thing that honestly bothers me concerning Christians and the sabbath and that is their insistence on doing it on a Sunday. All Christians know that the biblical sabbath day is Saturday and not Sunday yet, it's as if they willfully stick a finger at God and say to Him "we know your sabbath is on Saturday but we have decided that we know better than you and so we'll celebrate it on Sunday". This is wrong no matter how we try to defend our position. Please just for one minute place yourself in the Father's position by you telling the whole world that this is your day and the whole world (especially those who believe in you) tell you to get stuffed, we'll do it our way. This is the epitomy of disgraceful behavior towards the living God.
I think God answers your introductory question with his own perspective on what you call New Covenant sabbath keeping, Professor Rob. And I don’t see anyone mowing old ladies lawns on Sabbath here in the New Earth. God seems to think the idea is for all flesh to come together from one sabbath to another to worship him, not to do lawn maintenance. For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain. And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD. Isaiah 66:22-23 But, back to your point. You introduce as your justification for mowing old ladies lawns on the Sabbath that Christ said it is “lawful to do well on the Sabbath” in Matthew 12. But, is that what the Savior really meant by “doing well on the Sabbath” or is that your own private interpretation of what the Savior was trying to convey there as being lawful to do? Because I went back to the law to see if it was lawful to mow an elderly ladies lawn on Sabbath, and I find nothing in the law which would justify blatantly violating the Sabbath commandment in such a fashion. In fact, according to the law, doing manual labor like that on the Sabbath would be cause to be put to death. Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people. Exodus 31:14 Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death. Exodus 31:15 Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to you an holy day, a sabbath of rest to the LORD: whosoever doeth work therein shall be put to death. Exodus 35:2 Etc., etc., etc… However, if we look at the Savior’s ideas in context, comparing the teaching in Matthew 12 with other accounts of similar events speaking along the same lines, we find there is a rather specific context in which the Savior’s words are carefully seated. For example,… And he saith unto them, Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to do evil? to save life, or to kill? But they held their peace. Mark 3:4 And again, Then said Jesus unto them, I will ask you one thing; Is it lawful on the sabbath days to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy it? Luke 6:9 The kind of good Christ is talking about is not simply anything you desire to claim is doing good on the Sabbath, but he is talking about situations of doing what is required for preserving life rather than works or even negligence that leads to death. Thus giving his comment a rather specific context. Because if your sheep or ox falls into a ditch, leaving it there might cause it further bodily harm or even death. So, Christ recognizes that doing the work of lifting the animal out of the ditch on Sabbath is not a transgression which would be judged as intentional sin rebellion, but is understood as a genuine concern for the immediate well being of the animal you are helping out. But, it is highly doubtful that mowing an old lady’s lawn on Sabbath will carry the same kind of justifiable weight. Christ knows as well as you do that the manual labor required to mow someone’s lawn can wait until Sabbath is over. It’s not a medical emergency or a life or death situation. This idea is also addressed in Luke 14:1-6, but in each case it seems to involve healing people or helping animals which fall into a pit or tending to other critical needs. So, it’s not clear how you got mowing lawns out of this. Christ is never seen mowing anyone’s lawn onSabbath. The issue of doing well on the Sabbath is more accurately rooted in the comparison Christ is making here in the gospel of John which he revisited in various forms throughout the gospels. Jesus answered and said unto them, I have done one work, and ye all marvel. Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision; (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers;) and ye on the sabbath day circumcise a man. If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I have made a man every whit whole on the sabbath day? John 7:21-23 This was a constant issue in the gospels. Here is another example of how they despised him for healing on the Sabbath where Christ again uses similar language. And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath. And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself. And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity. And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God. And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because that Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, and said unto the people, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath day. The Lord then answered him, and said, Thou hypocrite, doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering? And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day? And when he had said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed: and all the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him. Luke 13:10-17 So, the Savior appears to believe doing good on the Sabbath means healing others, helping animals with basic needs like water and loossening the bonds of Satan that oppresses and torments others which more directly seems to be along the lines of things Christ suggests would be appropriate to do on Sabbath. But again, I see nothing here which would lawfully justify mowing an old lady’s lawn on Sabbath-especially if the law defines laborious work on Sabbath as unlawful to the point of recommending the death penalty in multiple passages of the law as we read earlier. Now, why would the Jews be ashamed above. Because it was known all along that evil was not to be done on the Sabbath day. Blessed is the man that doeth this, and the son of man that layeth hold on it; that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil. Isaiah 56:2 What the Savior was teaching was not some new doctrine here concerning the Sabbath; hence, his referring to why it was lawful to do good on the Sabbath back in Matthew 12 and elsewhere. So, we are not supposed to pollute the Sabbath, and we are supposed to keep our hand from doing any evil. But, notice, this particular message in Isaiah 56 is to the strangers, not the Jewish nation. Meaning, this prophecy concerns the importance of the Sabbath as it pertains to the Gentiles. So, we can’t so easily say God did away with his Sabbath if he has prophecied all along that he invited Strangers (Gentiles) in to embrace his Sabbath and Covenant too in Isaiah 56. All the chapters of Isaiah 53-66 deal with post crucifixion issues quite openly and both chapters 56 and 58 address the continued importance of the Sabbath as well as chapter 66.
Hi Corey! I certainly believe that in the end, all of humanity will bow their knee and worship the Lord. I also believe that we are not supposed to pollute _any_day, and we are supposed to keep our hand from doing evil on _every_ day. I'm curious. If "the idea is for all flesh to come together from one sabbath to another to worship him," why did God only give the Sabbath to ancient Israel? Why did He not require it of Babylon, Syria, Egypt or any other people? And if the seventh day Sabbath is required of new covenant Christians, why would the NT say, "Do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ" (Col. 2:16-17). Rob
Highlighted reply @TheBiblicalRoots 1 day ago Hi Corey! I certainly believe that in the end, all of humanity will bow their knee and worship the Lord. *But, Isaiah 66:22-23 gets a little more specific than that, and says all flesh will specifically worship God on New moons and Sabbaths. It’s the same kind of idea being suggested in Ezekiel 46:1-3. God seems to have a deep interest in maintaining his times and laws. And we have already seen what happened in Daniel 7:25 and Revelation 13:4-8 when God’s times and laws were changed and the little horn made war with God’s people for the 42-months/time, times and dividing of time (or 1260-prophetic years of the Great Tribulation). Christ said if those days were not cut short, no flesh would be saved in Matthew 24. So, tampering with times and laws leads to deadly outcomes like that. And this was one of the coming end time events, so it is a post crucifixion issue for certain if John was still prophecying about the matter from Daniel 7 in Revelation 2 and 13.* I also believe that we are not supposed to pollute any_day, *Okay, so then you believe we should not pollute the six working days as well as not polluting the Sabbath day. Excellent! However, it should be noted, there are specific things that people do which pollutes the Sabbath day which would typically be perfectly acceptable to do on any other ordinary work day within a given week. Case in point, we see the issue came up in Nehemiah 13 where various practices on Sabbath polluted/profaned the Sabbath day. In those days saw I in Judah some treading wine presses on the sabbath, and bringing in sheaves, and lading asses; as also wine, grapes, and figs, and all manner of burdens, which they brought into Jerusalem on the sabbath day: and I testified against them in the day wherein they sold victuals. There dwelt men of Tyre also therein, which brought fish, and all manner of ware, and sold on the sabbath unto the children of Judah, and in Jerusalem. Then I contended with the nobles of Judah, and said unto them, What evil thing is this that ye do, and profane the sabbath day? Neh 13:15-18 In carrying out these practices, the people forgot to Remember to keep the Sabbath holy. And so, by working on the Sabbath and engaging in commerce on the Sabbath, they polluted it.* and we are supposed to keep our hand from doing evil on _every day. *Yes, but as the former passage clarifies, some practices considered to be evil that can occur on Sabbath would not be considered evil on the other six working days. So, the reason God emphasizes remembering to keep the Sabbath holy is because the Sabbath comes with extra considerations which do not necessarily apply to the other six days of the week.* @@TheBiblicalRoots
@@TheBiblicalRoots Rob: I'm curious. If "the idea is for all flesh to come together from one sabbath to another to worship him," why did God only give the Sabbath to ancient Israel? Why did He not require it of Babylon, Syria, Egypt or any other people? *Because at that time, God was laying a foundation of very carefully planned prophetic living allegories, so we could look back from our generation and see our place in the plan of salvation as the torah established the matter in type. Let’s take notice of something interesting that a lot of people simply overlook. God adds 30-years to the Israelites stay in Egypt, so they were there for 430-years by Exodus 12, not the 400-years only that was formerly established back in Abraham’s day, then God makes Israel do something really rediculous if you think about it. He makes them wander around in the desert for another 40-years. It doesn’t take no 40-years to walk from Egypt to the other side ofJordan, let’s get real and see that for what it is. But, God wanted readers to look at that situation and realize that from the Exodus to the Passover crucifixion and end of the 70th week of Daniel 9 in 34 AD is right around 30-Jubile time periods. From that point Christianity made its own post Passover exodus out of Judaism. And for the next 40-Jubilees Christianity has been wandering around in the desert being as frequently disloyal to God and his law as ancient israel was back during the 40-years it wandered in the desert. In 1994, that 40-jubilee period came to an end. That’s the same year we had this really unique and incredible, once in a very blue moon sign in the heavens. The comet shoemaker Levy 9 broke into 21 fragments that summer of 1994 and slammed into Jupiter. Was God trying to get our attention? Do you remember how at the end of the 40-years in the wilderness not everyone was allowed to enter Canaan? Joshua, Caleb, and those under the age of 21 were allowed to pass beyond Jordan into Canaan? That suggests those who will play the role of the righteous being lead by Joshua represent the 144,000 who are sealed and follow the Lamb wheresoever he goes. Because Joshua has a name very similar to Yeshua (our Savior’s name). Arron dies before Canaan, and Joshua takes over, because this points forward to christ temporarily ceasing his priestly role as our intercessor under the daily ministration in the heavenly sanctuary and begins his role as our military leader instead. So, the transition from Aaron to Joshua indicates that is what happened as we moved beyond 1994 to today. In fact, this is prophecied about in Isaiah 59 when God no longer sees christ standing as our intercessor, and he is putting on military gear and coming back to the earth to wage war: see also Zechariah 14 and Revelation 19. But wait, there is more, when Israel crossed over Jordan and entered canaan, do you remember they kept Passover and the second time they engaged in circumcission came about? Well, after the crucifixion of Christ, isn’t it curious that in Acts 15 circumcission was ceased there as well? But, in recent years, more and more Christians have been questioning that decision and today circumcission is once again a hot topic and people are returning to the practice and taking the law more seriously again. Because while it wasn’t convenient to keep much of the law and feasts while wandering around in the desert during the 40-years, many of those laws God said not to keep until they entered Canaan. Because God was using the experience of Israel to lay the foundation for us what God planned to do after we prophetically ended our time in the wilderness also in 1994. And today, there are a vastly growing number of Christians reading Leviticus 23 and coming to the conclusion that we need to return to keeping those feasts as well. Why is this happening? Because it needs to happen for Ezekiel 37 to be fulfilled. You see, back in Zechariah 11, God broke the brotherhood of Judah and Israel after Christ was sold for 30-pieces of silver. Christ is the lion of Judah, and the house of Judah (Christianity) separated from Israel. But, today, we find more and more Christians returning to the law, the feasts, circumcision, and we find Rabbi’s getting upset that their congregations are growing with people who embrace Yeshua as their Messiah. What is happening is the two sticks of Judah and Joseph are reuniting in Christ and in the law. This is why those who get the victory in Revelation 15 sing the song of Moses and the Lamb. Because each house of Israel and Judah has something the other has been needing. Christians needed the law of Moses and to understand how that is part of the gospel message. Jews needed their Messiah Yeshua the Lamb of God. And if people fail to grasp this reunion, then they are missing one of the most wonderful prophetic fulfillments next to the cross we have ever witnessed coming to pass right under everyone’s nose. Now, let’s step back a bit, do you remember Israel walking around Jericho under the leadership of Joshua blowing trumpets for seven days? Revelation 8-11 is a prophecy that began to fulfill after 1994 of seven trumpets which have been blowing, because the feast of Trumpets is the first of the three Fall feasts in Leviticus 23 wich christ did not fulfil back at his first coming. The fall of Jericho is a type for the fall of Babylon, and so Babylon was not chosen to receive the law of god, because cities like Jericho and Babylon represent those in the prophecy who will be destroyed for their wickedness during the plagues on the final Day of Atonement (the second Fall feast fulfilled in Revelation 15-16 and 20. But, many nations will also be preserved as prophecy tells us. Isaiah 2:1-5, Micah 4:1-5 reminds us the law will go forth from zion, God will rebuke the nations, not just Israel, and then the nations will not learn war anymore. Christianity was never able to bring the world to a point of global peace, because they rejected god’s law for the most part, and spiritual anarchy will not be reversed until God’s law goes forth from zion and the world is brought to order as we head into the restored Davidic kingdom. And after the war of Zechariah 14 and Revelation 19 is over, then Christ will be King over the earth and like Joshua the High Priest who was also the King crowned in Zechariah 6, the work to rebuild Jerusalem and its temple will begin. And as Zechariah 14 points out, every year even Gentile nations like Egypt will be required to come up year by year on penalty of no rain and being plagued to keep the feast of Tabernacles (the final Fall feast that gets fulfilled after Christ returns). But, wy does god spare some nations and not others? Because the time when the forces of the Gentiles will be converted unto God in the prophecies like in Isaiah 60 is still future. God did offer the other nations (the Strangers/Gentiles) his Sabbath and Covenant in Isaiah 56, Professor Rob. So, many Gentiles have embraced this offer of God in part. But, when Christ took the kingdom away from those who murdered him in Matthew 21, he said he would bring in a nation that would bring forth the fruits thereof, meaning a nation that would keep the covenant the Jews failed to keep. That is why Christ quotes Isaiah 56 in Matthew 21 where he makes that claim, because Isaiah 56 is the call to the Gentiles to come in to accept god’s Sabbath and covenant. But, the last four verses of Isaiah 56 is the beginning of a derailment where the leaders and sheperds of the people mislead and teach wrong things, that happened to delay the fulfillment of Matthew 21, things go from bad to worse as we continue through Isaiah chapter 57 and get a good look at the sorceress (or the Abominable Desolate: a whorish woman who is involved in the ceasing of the daily sacrifice in Daniel 8, Joel 1, Ezekiel 7 and so on), and later the derailment starts to be addressed as the meat and drink offering of the daily sacrifice is returned at the end of the 2300-days prophecy in Daniel 8:14 and Joel 2.and the old paths start to be restored in Isaiah chapter 58, then the world becomes really evil as it is doing today leading up to Christ’s coming in Isaiah 59, and then the Gentiles are converted unto God’s people in a more serious way in Isaiah 60, finally getting around to fulfilling Christ’s promise of the nation that will bring forth the fruits thereof of the Old Covenant from Matthew 21. In fact, Isaiah 53-66 is just one lengthy and nearly linear prophecy that stretches from the Crucifixion all the way to the time of the New Earth if you take the time to map the entire thing out in detail. It does step back a bit in Isaiah 63 to reexplain a few things, but it’s mostly linear.*
@@TheBiblicalRoots And if the seventh day Sabbath is required of new covenant Christians, why would the NT say, "Do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, *This is not radically different from James in Acts 15 pushing for others to not trouble the Gentiles on his end also. Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from among the Gentiles are turned to God: Acts 15:19 Where Paul may be deviating a bit with the above concern from James is in the matter of what Gentiles are eating and drinking. Gentiles were not supposed to b eating things which were strangled and blood according to verse 20. But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood. Acts 15:20 Now, some Christians suggest Paul is usurping the judgment of James here from the Jerusalem Council and anything goes. And while I am not a huge fan of Paul, I don’t tend to think that was paul’s intention here, but he might have gone slightly over the mark. It’s difficult to say. This idea of polutions of idols might also be a big deal here, because Revelation 2 warns against eating things sacrificed unto idols in christ’s letters to the third and fourth churches. But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication. Revelation 2:14 Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols. Revelation 2:20 So, Christ doesn’t seem to quite heed paul’s teaching here. He is clearly judging two of the churches in the Roman province of Asia concerning eating things sacrificed unto Idols. But, this could be because Christ is trying to set a stronger limit to what people could eat than is covered in Acts 15 and Colossians 2:16-17. As Christ he has the authority to do that. And it wouldn’t be the first time he corrected one of his followers either. Just see when Christ rebukes and corrects Peter in Matthew 16, suggesting that even Christ’s closest followers didn’t always carry the right perspective and needed a little help from the master to get their head screwed on straight from time to time.* You continue: or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ" (Col. 2:16-17). *Okay, if what paul is talking about is a shadow of things to come, this eliminates any pagan practices like Christmas, easter and other pagan holidays. Because, while many Christians try to use this verse to justify mingling paganism and Christianity together into one Babylonian style soup which becomes a problem later in Revelation 18:4, none of the nonbiblical holy days and celebrations carry prophetic meaning that could be construed as a “shadow of things to come”. The above suggests Paul was aware of the future prophecies concerning the restoration of the feasts, Sabbaths and New Moons in Isaiah 66:22-23, Ezekiel 44-46, Zechariah 14 and so on. With thatin mind, let us consider that today not many people around the globe observe Sabbaths and the Levitical feasts and New Moon observances. But, n the future, these observances will be a globally and far more universally practiced set of ideas-especially if all flesh in Isaiah 66:22-23 will come to worship god each Sabbath and New Moon. To behold the entire globe doing that would make the relatively few humans celebrating these holy days today seem like a shadow of what is coming when God’s law goes forth from Zion in Isaiah 2:1-5 and Micah 4:1-5, and God stops tolerating his people and even other nations trampling on his law. In fact, I rather like the way the prophet Zechariah portrays what is coming. Thus saith the LORD of hosts; In those days it shall come to pass, that ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations, even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you: for we have heard that God is with you. Zechariah 8:23 If you read Zechariah 8 here in light of Isaiah 2:1-5 it makes a lot of sense what is transpiring here. The Gentile nations are going to be begging the Jews to let them join in on all the blessings that are coming when god restores his law, Jerusalem, his temple and so on. So, it is not surprising to me at all why more and more Jews are accepting Yeshua as their Messiah and more and more Christians are returning to the law and trying to gain perspective by asking Jews to help them understand Hebrew and the details of torah law. I have a brother heavily involved in the work of uniting Jewish groups with Christian Sabbatarians and feast keepers. It’s really quite extraordinary to watch it all unfold. I honestly never thought I would live long enough to see this transition pulling the two houses of Israel and Christianity (Judah) back together. I realized the whole point of separating the Northern and Southern kingdoms of Israel was to prefigure the separation of Isreal and Christianity in type back at the cross, but actually seeing the two sticks starting to be joined back together in Ezekiel 37 is beyond my wildest expectations.

I liked to listen to how you present the beauty of keeping a Sabbath. But by the very meaning of the name of the day if I were reading it as a Basic instruction before leaving earth I would say God meant for me to observe the 7 th day. And olam does mean forever or for a long time. So it looks like it’s either reestablished in the world to come or still standing Isaiah 66. It seems consistent with what we know about the nature of God, ( a never changing God) to believe it’s still standing. I believe that for such an important commandment as this one is in the first half of our book to change it would also require two witnesses to establish it from the Torah or prophets. Where are my two witnesses? I don’t believe keeping Sabbath or any of the other commandment can save us now nor could it ever. But I believe the Bible tells us that it shows God that we love him. He said, “If you love me you will keep my commandments.” That said, if we have no regard for what he has asked us to do it might be a strong indicator that we don’t really love him. I do like to listen to you. You seem very respectful and kind. And it helps me think about things I had not previously considered.
So, Christ says it was lawful to do good on the Sabbath, but he never said it was lawful to work on the Sabbath in terms of doing hard labor such as mowing lawns and other manual labor, unless it was expressly allowed under the law, such as the practice of circumcising a child when another law requiring the circumcision to occur on the eighth day meant the circumcision needed to take place on the Sabbath. This suggests that Christ knows that it is okay to transgress the law in cases where the law itself is forcing a person into that situation, because again, that is a transgression that is not a cin, because the person is not trying to rebel against god in attempting to satisfy the demands of the law. This gives rise to the realization that while all sins are transgressions of the law, the fallasy of the converse logic does not apply. Consequently, not all transgressions of the law are necessarily sins. And Christ gives more than one example of where that is the case in Matthew 12: the priests profaning the Sabbath but held guiltless for doing so and David eating the shewbread that was unlawful for him to eat, but held blameless anyway, because his situation obviously warranted the transgression. The implications in Matthew 12 being that there is a vast difference between wilful sin rebellion leading to a transgression of the law, versus being cornered into transgressing the law, for example. As an intelligent judge who can read the heart of an individual, god can easily discern the difference. And if what you hope is doing good on Sabbath is not truly doing good in god’s eyes, then you might find yourself on the receiving end of this passage. Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to you an holy day, a sabbath of rest to the LORD: whosoever doeth work therein shall be put to death. Exodus 35:2 Now, people will inevitably say, “But, we aren’t following Torah in that people are not being put to death for not keeping the Sabbath.” God has a perfectly outlined plan to remedy that problem too in Isaiah 24:1-6. When the curse that comes to devour the earth for the harm man is doing to God’s law hits, there will be no mistaking just how fatal the decision to harm God’s law by folks has been. Because God will just let the curse that devours the earth burn the inhabitants of earth until there are few men left as Isaiah has prophesied. I assure you, God has left no stone unturned in support of his law here. Read it for yourself if you do not believe me. Do you really think god is joking around here? I challenge anyone to tell me when this prophecy came to pass in the past, because it is coming sooner than you might think.
Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof. And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury to him. The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for the LORD hath spoken this word. The earth mourneth and fadeth away, the world languisheth and fadeth away, the haughty people of the earth do languish. The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant. Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left. Isaiah 24:1-6 Of course, it might bother God that people today are intentionally going out of their way to look for excuses or blatantly violating his Sabbath, spitting in the face of his authority every step of the way, or intentionally violating other laws for that matter,which puts them at risk in the above passage, but God is not beyond recognizing that everyone struggles with sin to one degree or another. And that is why God created repentance, giving us the chance to right our wrongs and bring ourselves back in line with the wil of God and his law in such matters. But, it would be a good idea to repent and turn back to God’s Sabbath before the curse that devours the earth hits in Isaiah 24:5-6.

@TheBiblicalRoots 1 day ago "Do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ." (Col. 2:16-17) *Since I already answered this passage in another of your comments, I will trust you have access to that response in your feed. It’s your next passage, however, that is curious.* "One person esteems one day as better than another, while another esteems all days alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind." (Rom 14:5) *All this verse tells us is factually how people are. It is true one person will esteem one day as better than another, and another person will esteem all days alike. But, there is a third option that Paul fails tomention here. god esteems that his people will remember to keep the Sabbath holy. He speaks it with his own mouth in Exodus 20:1-11, and Christ esteems that man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God in Matthew 4:4. And some humans esteem that God and Christ’s advice simply isn’t for them, and they do arbitrarily decide to go their own way. And God in Isaiah 8:20 esteems that those people have no light in them when they speak contrary to his law and testimony. Later God esteems in Isaiah 24:5-6 a suitable outcome for those who keep disregarding and abusing his law: he will send the curse that devours the earth, burns its inhabitants and leaves few men left to tell the tale. This might be why Christ esteems that broad is the way to destruction, and few there be who find the gate to life in Matthew 7. If few find it, then this should tell us the true path Christ expects us to follow is not the popular view held within Christianity, but a much less popular option. Christ does show us in Revelation 22:12-14 that he esteems commandment keepers will enter through the gates into his holy city and be granted right to the tree of life.Seeing that was Christ’s last message after the cross in the Bible, it might not be a smart idea to abandon any of the commandments of God, because in verse 15 everyone else is stuck outside the holy city with zero access to the tree of life-telling us who took the broad path to destruction and didn’t find the gate leading in like those in verse 14. @@TheBiblicalRoots
After looking at all the biblical data that you presented in both of the videos and your conclusion at the end, I'm still of the mindset that resting for a day is contradictory. After all, Jesus said that both he and his Father are continuing to work, even on the Sabbath (Eph 5:1 says, "imitate God"...). My question, I guess, would be that if I am led to see the Sabbath or resting for a day as "out of bounds", and so do not even think about it at all, is this evidence to you that I am not saved or a Christian? By the way, I do not see your desire to rest as you described as evidence at all that you are saved or a Christian (and so of course I don't see my own ways in that light either).
Hi, Greg! No, I don't see anyone's position on a day of rest as evidence of their salvation. I think the best response to your question comes from the apostle Paul: "Do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ," (Col. 2:16-17) Blessings, RLS
If I may, the way I look at it is the following: the Shabbat given to the Israelites could also be seen as a day to rest physically, as they had been in Egypt as slaves for a long time. We see today that productivity goes up the more rested physically and mentally workers are. The way the fields were rested every 7 years is actually something incredible as it allows for crops to yield better harvests and not completely drain nutrients from the soil. All of these things are secondary matters of course, but they provide us with insight into God's care for our physical and mental well being. I do not think it is mandatory to rest, but it sure is a smart idea to set aside a day to rest physically and mentally. It just so happens that it is also convenient to do so on the day I worship with my wife and fellow Christians on Sunday at my local Reformed Baptist Church. My wife and I will usually go out for a meal at new restaurant (we have a list of new places and look forward to check them off our list, we are big foodies), and then after lunch spend time in nature (we both love the outdoors and during the work week find it impossible to partake in it) and maybe meet up with friends/family at the end of the day. Depending on our mood we might also study the Bible together or discuss theological questions raised from Sunday school or the Sermon. It is truly a blessing to live this way, and it completely energises me for work the next day on Monday morning! Hope my personal view of the Lord's Day might shed some light on a perspective that shows it as being a blessing and not a requirement! God bless
@@coachdanferreira - that’s cool, no judgment here from me either way. Imagine if someone told you that they sacrifice 2 lambs for Passover and spread the blood over their front door in commemoration. I would see that as completely unnecessary in the same exact ways as I see resting (on purpose to commemorate the Sabbath) as unnecessary (archaic, obsolete, out of date). Etc.
@@babylonsfall7For a bit of context, I am a former Seventh-Day Adventist. And oh yes, on purpose to commemorate the Shabbat for the reasons stipulated in the OT I do also find archaic and outdated. The law, including the 4th commandment, was just a teacher until Christ came. That command is just a shadow of the substance. I do not rest trying to follow the constraints written in the 4th commandment and expanded in all the other Shabbat laws. Rather, I find God's advice to rest at least one day per week to be quite useful in my life and I apply the principle of resting even though I don't agree with the ritualistic part of it. And the reality is I don't cease from work on that day as would an SDA or Torahist. I still go eat out, which is usually seen as a big no-no. And if for some reason I do have work to do I do not refrain from it as the commandment would require I do. I rest because I have the opportunity to do so and see the benefits of switching off from daily life. It is not a requirement, it is a privilege. I can understand how someone would feel inclined to do keep the ritual, but personally I don't agree with it for the same reason sacrificing the lambs is completely unnecessary, because those things were completed in Christ. And the reason I worship on Sunday is merely because I want to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus and what He has accomplished in me, making me a new creature in Him because, as Paul says, if Christ had not resurrected it would have all been useless and meaningless. It's basically a weekly day to get together and celebrate that, but it's not necessarily a day that is observed in the same way as Shabbat in the OT, at least for me.
@@coachdanferreira - Sounds great to me; We sleep every night which is rest as well and technically most of the working world is off on Saturday and Sunday. So it's all sort of moot and a non-issue for me for many reasons. Personally I would never take a job that had Saturday or Sunday workdays unless there was nothing else, loosely based on the Sabbath laws and the desire to attend church on Sunday. But that is the extent of my current conviction.
First Jesus did not change or do away with any laws . Matthew 5:17 (KJV) Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. Fulfill to me shows us GODs laws are not beyond our reach and not impossible for us to obey . Jesus was fully man . He did not destroy or do away with the laws of the FATHER . He changed not any only to clarify.

Read the FULL new covenant prophecies.. Ezekiel and Jeremiah. Then tell me one part of the new covenant that has taken place since we are under the new covenant as you say ? But before you answer that think about this, and Matthew Jesus says out of his own mouth, giving a “judgment day” prophecy says he’s gonna tell a lot of people, God-fearing people people that perform miracles, save lives, gave prophecies all in his name… so these people know about Grace and Faith, but at the end he told them to depart from me you who practice lawlessness… lawlessness means without law. That means they were sinning and under the new covenant that we are supposedly under, won’t he remember our sins no more ? The new covenant is coming, but your timing is off!
Luke 19:21-44 fulfilled to the letter. The covenant was first announced by Christ and ratified upon His death; Heb. 2:1-4; 9:15; 9:16-18. I mean, unless you just deny the texts and make up your own rules the enactment of the covenant at the cross is inescapable. Because they are judged by their deeds they are lawless, just as every man is, just as you are absent the pardon of justification through faith alone. Your emphasis is misplaced. Rather it should be; _" and in thy name done many wonderful works?"_ They are without faith because of their confidence in the flesh and boastful works. I'm paraphrasing here in hopes that you are without need of citation. "...they were sinning and under the new covenant that we are supposedly under, won’t he remember our sins no more ?" They were not under the new covenant since they did not believe. _"“He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. "_ Instead they attempted to climb the wall rather than enter through the sheep gate. They entered the wedding feast via the back door rather than the front where the doorman would have dressed them in the garment of faith. More paraphrasing, from the Lord's parables. Without the covering of imputed righteousness you are guilty, and your works are worthless. "The new covenant is coming, but your timing is off!" _"For this reason Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance-now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant."_ Then you will not receive the eternal inheritance since you can not be party to a covenant which does not exist.
@@jacobsilverberg1329 "I mean, unless you just deny the texts and make up your own rules the enactment of the covenant at the cross is inescapable. " This is not my stance at all, but rather the opposite. I read about the N.C and the dots don't connect... Do I believe in Christ blood shed for the N.C? ABSOLUTELY, But are all aspects of the N.C witnessed among us? NO, one perc. of the N.C is no need for teaching, yet we're commenting on a video of someone trying to teach others and we are doing the same as we converse... Another, the laws will be in our hearts... how are the laws in our hearts, we have the power of the spirit, and we still sin? how is this better than the O.C? People will obey In the N.C not because they are supposed to obey but because they naturally want to obey. Obedience will become habitual and second-nature. Like I said Christ shed his blood for the N.C but the promise of the N.C has not been fully realized in us. We continue to wrestle with our old sinful hearts. We still need our teachers and preachers.
@@virtualwavs3237 Sorry if I misunderstood you. But I'm still not fully understanding. "People will obey In the N.C not because they are supposed to obey but because they naturally want to obey. Obedience will become habitual and second-nature." Are you referring to the fulfillment of the promise, the resurrection to life, or the transformation into the incorruptible at the Advent? you mean like Ephesians 1:13,14: _"And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession-to the praise of his glory."_ You enter a contract in expectation of its fulfillment, but you can not qualify for redemption unless you first enter into the agreement. A down payment has been made but the house is never owned until final payment. You remain corruptible, or in corruption until the last trumpet, the day of redemption. _"in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality. When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.”_ You will be changed, transformed to immortality. Then the desire to sin will have been filtered out of the corrupted DNA. It is impossible to escape sin without being unlocked from its bond by God and that only happens at the last day. But this is the contract's completion and fulfillment, not its initiation..
@@virtualwavs3237 I realized that I didn’t address your objection - Jer. 32:32-34; Heb. 10:16. You expect that there should be obedience under the covenant. Jeremiah states that the old will not be like the new. That proves that the new is not a copy of the old under different title, as the Adventists teach. It is different in many ways, chiefly; the only command necessary for salvation is to believe. Romans 1:5; 16:26, obedience is belief. The same is also stated at Acts 6:7; 2 Thes. 1:8. John 3:36; 6:28, 29, 40 the work and will of the Father is to believe on the Son. That is the work of obedience and command of life. It is not obedience to the Law of Moses or even the prohibitions of the NC. _"But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report? So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God."_ Obedience is synonymous with belief.
@@jacobsilverberg1329ok, I see your stance, I want to make sure I give an adequate answer... good points but if all you needed was to believe everyone would make it into the kingdom but “narrow is the path, only few find it” What if one believes but loves to drink… Will a drunkard inherit the kingdom? I agree 1000% with the belief in Jesus part, obviously haha but you still love(verb) the Lord right?, Even demons believe. Rev 14:12 KJV - Here is the patience of the saints; here are those who keep the commandments (with an S )of God and the faith of Jesus. Jesus (our never changing Lord) the one who will judge us also taught to follow the commands. Matt. 36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” 37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” So yes belief is 1000% required for salvation it’s the 1st step, without it you can’t receive salvation or grace to repent!… but true belief/love = obedience to all of Gods word, not just parts “here” and parts “there”
Matthew 5v17,18 19, whosoever therefore shall break one of least Commandments, and he shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do them, the same shall be called Great in the kingdom of heaven. ( Sounds like you're teaching Elohim's people not to obey His Instructions). O' we're not the law we can do what we like.20. Roman 6v1-1John 3v4. Get the doggy bag out.
Hi, Karl! I teach and believe that obedience to God is of utmost importance for believers. We are to submit to His authority over our lives. Jesus said, “If you love me, you will keep my commandments” (John 14:15). And I’m sure you would agree that not every command God has given applies to every person at all times. Some only apply to certain people (i.e., men, women, parents, Levitical priests) or at certain times (i.e., building an ark, gathering manna, while in exile). And I’m sure you would also agree that we are each only expected to keep the commands of God that apply to us. The NT expressly teaches that many of the commands given under the Old Covenant Law do not apply to Christians today. (ex. Repeated blood sacrifices for sin are no longer required (Heb 10:18).) We still serve God and obey His commands, “But now we are released from the law, having died with Christ to that which held us captive, so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit and not in the old way of the written code” (Rom 7:6). “If you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law: (Gal. 5:18).. Blessings, RLS
The part I don't understand is your insistence on usage of the word "required" . Shouldn't a faithful servant have a desire to do anything that is even remotely pleasing to his master? Instead, in your view, unless it is required, you refuse to teach it as beneficial. Do you take this same attitude to your earthly employer? Do you only do the very minimum that will keep you from getting terminated? Pretty bad employee
24:22 What would come to a mind of a first century y Jew when reading Paul's discussion in Romans 14? Probably the Phariseeical tradition of having two different fast days a week and which days those should fall on. Context matters Applying the Sabbath to Romans 14 is almost as bad exegetically as your insistence that Rev 1:10 refers to the first day of the week
YOUR very own Words ROB, Messiah taught that it was lawful, to do good, and Protect Life! Blind and def ness Keeps you from acknowledging THE SABBATHS Messiah taught the Sabbath plain and simple.
Read Hebrews 4 and get back to us. His rest is not found in a day and that generation of Israel that wasn’t permitted to enter into that rest kept sabbath but wasn’t permitted to enter into his rest. What is his rest? The rest of the chapter tells you, rest for your soul. The disobedience you display is the same that that generation of Israel had, no faith. Hebrews 4 tells us a sabbath rest remains it doesn’t say a sabbath “day” rest remains. Our rest is in the finished works of Christ, atonement for your sin and the assurance for your soul of eternal life.
@williamdecamp7343 William, if you start from Hebrews 4 your not getting what is being Put Down. It starts with, quote therefore unquote. Go back to 3 "Learn what hardening of heart is" It's all about being disobedient and not led by the heart. Not your heart but his heart. We cannot talk scripture verses when we speak a different language, My words are defined by the bible itself. Your words are being defined by a greek roman latin struck. .
Rob 2 errors; "Works of the law" are transgressions not law keeping; and"imputation" is not impartation or giving to another, but recognition of already having it.
Hi, Simon. What makes you think the phrase "works of the law" refers to transgressions or sin? That definition sure seems to make nonsense out of a lot of verses. It makes it sound like there were all kinds of people who thought that they were made right with God by sinning. For example, For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- not by *_sinning,_* so that no one can boast. (Eph 2:8-9) Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded. Because of what law? The law that requires *_sin?_* No, because of the law that requires faith. (Rom. 3:27) "We know that a person is not justified by *_sinning,_* but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by *_sinning,_* because by the *_sinning,_* no one will be justified. (Gal. 2:16) I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit by *_sinning,_* or by believing what you heard? (Gal. 3:2) Therefore no one will be declared righteous in God’s sight by *_sinning;_* rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin. (Rom. 3:20) For all who rely on *_sinning_* are under a curse, as it is written: “Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.” (Gal. 3:10) RLS
@@TheBiblicalRoots You are right. Many did think they were justified even when the sinned, as many do now, but Paul says no man is justified by sin. So easy to understand as a concept that needed to be defined in the gospel of salvation, so Paul does in Romans 3:20 but not as your translation reads. Paul when he was Saul thought he was atoned for his sins yearly, but like the Pharisees he did not realise he was under the curse of death as Deuteronomy 30. Even those reading Romans 3:20 KJV misread this verse, in the Greek "knowledge" does not read as 'gnosis', but 'epognosis' which is experiential knowledge or imputation of sin. Your translation of Galatians 3:10 seems OK as it agrees that sinning is not keeping the law and brings the curse or condemnation of sin, and sin is judicial condemnation. My #1 Ytube video in the series 'Myths in so-called Christianity' has a full explanation, maybe you get one of your students to watch it if you cannot. Misreading Romans 3:20 I believe has mislead 'Christianity' to believe the old covenant was works salvation, and the new is salvation by grace therefore denying the need of good works for salvation, and the truth is good works are the only proof of faith for grace.
Solberg: don't moralize dos and don'ts. Just faith Me: OK so I can go have sex with animals? Solberg: its important we obey god Me : I thought you just said I had imputed righteousness and my obedience is filthy rags?
Blessings Brother. I enjoyed this video. I did not agree completely with part 1 even though you were only giving facts, it was more because I an not sure about some facts because it was before the Lord came and Sabbath really comes alive in the bible when the Lord kept the sabbath and it is for every man and child and strangers and animals because the command itself doesn't say, Jew. moral laws are for all people no matter their race. Also, even the Pharaoh knew about rest in Exodus when Moses asked to let his people worship God in the wilderness. Sabbath was made a sign between God and us all. the mark of the beast is for those who break that commandment and it's not just Jews but Every human being in the last days. God bless you.
You are interfusing Ellen White with the Bible. Revelation 13 provides the mandate as to when the mark of the Beast will be offered - and received - and it has nothing to do with the Sabbath, or “false Sabbath”. This is an Ellen White fiction. Mrs White is clearly in contradiction to Biblical Truth.
@@Jaco3688 Sorry to bust your bubble but the bible says it is the desolation of abomination and you would know that if you studied the bible because I never studied Ellen's teachings. Revelation mentions the Mark and the two beasts and because it is a prophecy it is actually Daniel and Joseph in Genesis who say in the bible that God is the interpreter of dreams, and the only way to understand the prophecies is to study the word of God with the Holy Spirit and discernment and a mentor who loves the word of God because we cannot do this on our own. The word of God the bible is where we find all the interpretations for who the beast is who the antichrist is what the mark is and the signs. Its like a trail of crumbs for me. in Matthew 24 the Lord mentions 15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) Then I had to study Daniel and found out that all throughout history, the bible prophesies in daniel were being fulfilled constantly. I studied Greek mythology and ancient civilisations before I even opened the bible and noticed Alexander the Great and Cleopatra were all in the bible and their stories showed to the chronology of events that Daniel had prophesied from the Babylonian empire that I didn't know much about except a Sumerian false religion. then the dark ages I knew had something to do with That same region of the world and as it turns out, Alexander did not have an heir so he gave his empire to his 4 generals the 4 headed leopard in Daniel, and the battle went on until the General of Alex had created a pagan nation that was given to someone and passed down until constantine and then he gave his pagan church to the Papacy. who is the dragon with teeth of iron. Iron age is the roman empire. it a;ll fits and the church is a mother church and is mentioned to be the mother of harlots. and is said to be surrounded by seven hills and that is the Vatican. I know that may be hard for you to hear but if you love the truth, the truth will make you free. God bless

This is true olam does mean forever or for a long time. It seems pretty consistent with Isaiah 66:23. His law either is reestablished or is still standing during this period of time. Understanding it from the perspective of still standing, is in keeping with our perspective of a never changing God. I did enjoy the beauty in which you expressed how our attitude and perspective should be before our King. He is great and greatly to be praised! Blessed be His name! I can’t wait to get in a world where everything is about His truth . I can’t imagine anyone feeling differently in this day and time where there seems to be so precious little of it. We will understand it then, right!!!!
@@lesliemagby8445 What I have seen is Jesus spoke against the the religious leaders of the day adding to the law to make it a burden to keep . Now religious leaders of today take away from the law . With both they are defiling the law of GOD .
As a deconstructing Seventh Day Adventist these two videos have been a blessing beyond description to me!! What a totally rounded and complete exegesis of one of the most foundational doctrines (for SDA's, it's part of their name) contained in Scripture. I just want share this joy with every SDA that I know who has "scales" over their eyes. Rob, may Dod bless you deeply and this wonderful "work" you are performing!! Amen and Amen!!
Beautiful post. I’m happy for you. Hope you have a wonderful life.
Thank you for sharing that, Lincoln! God is so good to us.

*Those that profess to keep the Sabbath have NEVER kept one in accordance with Exodus 20:8-10 or Isaiah 58:13.* So, THEY LIE and think they get away with it, because NOBODY IS WATCHING.

It couldn't be said any better!
As a fellow ex SDA, I am thrilled that you can see the truth, and also that you have found Rob’s teachings - they are so clear, kindly given and biblically based and sound. Isn’t it amazing to find the truth? Expect some nasty push back as you share with other SDA- but don’t get discouraged. ❤️
I also grew up SDA. I second your thoughts, Lincoln!
This video is very informative. Thank you so much for this. I love Jesus teachings. Glory be to God .
The rest we have is that we are in Jesus. Nothing to do with a time period. And whatever day we gather together on,is to remember what Jesus did for us by His death and resurrection.
This seems to me to your best work on the sabbath
It has taken me several months watching almost every morning during breakfast, but I have managed to watch all of your full episode (not the shorts) videos. I look forward to your future videos. However, I can now share my mornings with some other teachers I have left to the side while I completed this project. I was curious and not disappointed.
That's quite the commitment... I just found this channel, how long did it take? (you mentioned 'several months') You must have enjoyed to continue to go that far. I enjoyed these 2 for sure...
@swebb77 After I found the channel I was curious and wanted to start from the begining and worked my way through all the videos. There are some that need to be grouped together like the Hebrews study.
1st John 2:3,4 with love and respect, the 4th commandment must be kept from your heart, with love towards God as our creator. How you do it is between you and God , please God with heartfelt love, don’t try to please men. I personally love the gift God has given me to rest, of course not only physical rest, but the mental rest knowing he did all the work so my sins could be forgiven. Love you all my brothers and sisters in Christ
Be blessed solberg , you helped me so much .
It’s professor Solberg. Do you know what respect is?
Thank you for all that you do.
Great presentation! I'm someone who 'remembers' the Sabbath day... I don't have any church affiliation. When we understand that Messiah IS Israel, that He IS the faithful Son, and that *we* (all humanity) are IN Christ by God's Act 1 Cor 1:30 then our faith is released to believe. The New Covenant is when God writes His Law of Love on our hearts and minds. He does that by His Spirit, 'the Spirit of Christ', 'the Spirit of God', Holy Spirit all synonymous and is the only issue. If His Spirit lives in us we are His! The Sabbath may become a test at the end that SDA's teach. Regardless,, there's a blessing in the day itself and put there by God at Creation. Jesus said it was made for us... I need all the blessings I can get! We can 'remember' every day as well, meaning that as I think about the Sabbath rest I remind myself I'm resting IN Christ for salvation! I write this on 6/15 a Sabbath Day afternoon...😊Definitely following! No one sees eye-to-eye on everything but appreciate the soundness and sincerity...
Rob i thank you for these teachings.
Its difficult as SDA especially when the counter argument taught is that they still would teach the 10 commandments must be kept cause the new covenant is yhe same 10 commandments written the heart. This is why ..It is 33:46 taught that there were ceremonial and moral laws . They teach that the moral law includes 10 rules and sabbath and the ceremonial laws are the laws nailed to cross.
Its difficult to believe otherwise once you sat under these for decades.
The Moral Law is the Ten Commandments.
Are you saying that this is not true according to the Bible? Honest question.
Romans 3:31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.

*Of course, Christ teaches in Matthew 4:4 that man shall live by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. This is not simply a central teaching of Christ’s gospel, but it is the first line of defense Christ used to defend himself against Lucifer’s deceptive temptations. Wouldn’t you know it, among the many words that proceed out of the mouth of God in the Bible which Christ says man shall live by, Exodus 20:1-2 says it is God who is speaking here when the ten commandments were being given? So, it doesn’t really matter what SDA’s say, it matters that Christ says man shall live by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of god though. And we cannot obey that teaching of christ in Matthew 4:4 if we refuse to keep the commandments God spoke with his own mouth. Maybe this is why christ comes back after the cross and warns us that Satan is at war with commandment keepers in Revelation 12:17. So, when people pretend to be Christians and they seek to change or do away with commandments, which side of that war effort are they truly on? Christ also teaches after the cross in Revelation 22:12-14 that it is commandment keepers who are blessed and will have access into the Holy City and to the tree of life. Unfortunately, everyone else is shown in verse 15 to be stuck outside the city with zero access to the tree of life. Is that a pickle Christians really want to find themselves in because they refuse to connect Christ’s last message in the bible to Matthew 5:19 where Christ tells us what makes a person great in his kingdom as concerns commandment keeping there as well???
It also matters that Christ warns his followers to not even so much as think that he came to destroy the law in Matthew 5:17. Yet, everyone is trying to figure out some way to twist and wiggle and suggest that Christ is the one responsible for changes to God’s law: like changes to the commandments. Of course, God had Daniel 7:25 prophecy who really became the critical influence when it comes to changing God’s times and laws, namely “the little horn”. But, neither christ nor God is the little horn of Daniel 7:25 who seeks to change times and laws and wears out God’s saints.
Of course, you can read the New Covenant of Jeremiah 31:31-34 a thousand times over, and there is nothing suggesting God changes the commandments in the wording of that covenant either. The covenant can be new, but that by no means necessitates a change to the commandments. What it more likely suggests is a change as to where God’s law is being written. In Old Covenant times the law was written on stone tablets and animals skins. In the New Covenant that changes to the law being written in our heart. By verse 34, the consequence of having God’s law written in our heart is that we will all know God, which is why God says there will be no more teaching others to know God like Professor Rob is doing today, along with countless other so called New Covenant Christians. But, if they had actually read the New covenant, they would know that when we are under the New Covenant for real, they will be out of a job. The fact that they keep trying to teach people to know God and what they imagine his ways to be is the proof they are violating an explicit clause of the New Covenant in Jeremiah 31:34 if they really believe we are under the New Covenant today. There will not be any more teaching along these lines as god is instructing under the New Covenant. Clearly, most New covenant Christians never got the memo. So, where did they go wrong? They fail to realize that god cannot even write his law in our heart until he deals with the condition of a heart like an adamant stone in Zechariah 7. This condition of a stony heart is defined to be those who refuse to hear God’s law and the words he sent by his Spirit through his prophets, and is the very rebellion god has Isaiah write a book about in Isaiah 30. If people keep attacking God’s law-especially his commandments and refuse to hear his law-then how can God write his law in their hearts before removing their stony heart: the source of the problem? God seeks to remedy the problem of the stony heart in Ezekiel 11 and 36 after Christ returns and gathers his people into their own land again: fulfilling the gathering of god’s people from the ends of heaven promised in Deuteronomy 30 and Matthew 24 at the last trump. And Ezekiel 18 stresses the importance of true repentance when it comes to creating in us a new heart and new spirit, the very thing you would expect to have in place when you are preparing to eventually come under the New Covenant. So, it is nice that people dream of being under the New Covenant, but we are not under the New Covenant today. None of god’s people will be confused or even remotely in doubt about the issue of god’s law when his law is written in our heart. We will not struggle to understand the implications of every instruction of that law either. We will literally know it by heart, because it will be written in our heart.*
This is why ..It is 33:46 taught that there were ceremonial and moral laws . They teach that the moral law includes 10 rules and sabbath and the ceremonial laws are the laws nailed to cross.
Its difficult to believe otherwise once you sat under these for decades.
*Here is a fresh perspective. What if god never actually did away with the law, but instead suspended the law for a time, because his law came under question? And when his law is vindicated, then god plagues the earth, because it is appropriate to plague the earth when his law is no longer under fire and his hands are no longer tied, because his law has been proven to be both essential and righteous. Consequently, God then returns his sanctuary in Ezekiel 37, and resumes the Levitical priesthood in Isaiah 66:21, Jeremiah 33:14-18, Ezekiel 44-46, Revelation 3:12, 7 and 20:4-6 and so on, returns the requirement of circumcision of both flesh and heart from torah law in Ezekiel 44 as well. Returns the sacrifices and feasts in Ezekiel 44-46, Zechariah 14, returns Sabbaths and New Moon observances in Ezekiel 46:1-3 and Isaiah 66:22-23 and so on, suggesting that the way god helps us remove our stony heart and writes his law in our heart is by teaching and leading us how to keep his law with Christ there as our Priest/king during the thousand years, after we come out of Babylon in Revelation 18-19. Much like god did long ago when he brought the Jews out of Babylon, and Joshua in Zechariah 6 became a High Priest who was also the king who was instrumental in the rebuilding of the temple back in his day as a type of the soon coming of Christ who will do the same. Explaining why god is addressing the heart like an adamant stone in Zechariah 7 as well to prefigure how God teaches his people to overcome sin in preparation for being under the New covenant when their education in his law is finally over.
But, it is Isaiah 24 that should concern us. Because the majority of people on earth today transgress god’s law, change his ordinance and break his everlasting covenant, and God says in verses 5 and 6 that this is why the curse is coming which devours the earth, causes its inhabitants to be burned, leaving few men left. Yet, those who bind up the testimony and who are sealed by his law in Isaiah 8:16 are sealed and protected. The binding up of the testimony and seal of the law in the right hand and forehead is part of the law of Deuteronomy 6. Those who do not bind up the testimony and who are not brought under the seal of God’s law, they are at risk in Revelation 14 of taking the mark of the beast in their right hand and forehead as well. But, notice, those who get the victory and stand on the sea of glass sing the song of Moses and the Lamb (meaning they understand the law and the gospels are one complete message, because Moses and Christ are the two prophets of Deuteronomy 18 who are like one another.)
Witnessing is the best to do on Sabbath for they need the Lord of Sabbath
In that first sunset, we can imagine how all creatures,including the first pair, were led by angels in an occasion of worship and adoration of the Author of this wonderful creation. God himself set aside this day, in which he completed the project of a new world. "On the seventh day, God finished His work that He had done and on the seventh day He rested from all His work that He had done. God blessed the seventh day andholy, because on this day He rested from all His work which He had built and made" (Genesis 2:2-3). This blessed and hallowed day was to be perpetuated as a memorial of creation and family, which was to be transformed into a day of celebration.
Shabbat was a temporary shadow law. It served it’s purpose and then faded away. Shabbat was rooted in deliverance. Jesus being creator saves no one.
What percentage of Christians follow the 6 literal day creation as opposed to a guided evolution, following the science.
Mr. Solberg, your videos have been a gift to those of us who are walking/have walked in Torahism. THANK YOU! I'd like to contact you through e-mail... How can I go about doing that? Thank you.
Professor Solberg! God Bless! Thank you for your studies 🙏. I recently had a conversation about Jesus' death and resurrection; I was explaining the Jesus rested on the Saturday Sabbath for us but as the Second Day, their rebuttal is that of John 19 explaining a special Sabbath and not a Saturday Sabbath. I'm starting to believe Jesus was crucified on Thursday. Not that it really matters to me for salvation, but for arguments sake I'd like to know your thoughts about this taken John 20:1 as well.
I can agree with so much being said here. Jesus did not come to abolish the Torah but to fulfil it, meaning he demonstrated by his example how to obey the Torah by doing good. His point was that we should not obey some commandments at the expense of others, but keep all of them, even the ‚least‘ of them.
Since apparently the Pharisees and Scribes were ignoring the commandments on justice, mercy and compassion, Jesus emphasised them and told his followers that unless their righteousness exceeds that of the Scribes and Pharisees they can not enter the kingdom of heaven.
God is writing the Torah into our hearts and minds, not for the purpose of ignoring them but to enable us to keep them.
Hebrews 8:13 (ESV): 13 In speaking of a new covenant, he makes the first one obsolete. And what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.
the 10 Commandments are not a Covenant. Too Funny
@@salpezzino7803 you embarrass yourself with each post. Your golden calf idol, the Decalogue, was the words of the covenant. The ten sayings were the executive summary of the entire book of Jewish law. The table of contents of the whole book. When the entire Jewish system of sacrifice and rituals became weak, useless, and obsolete, the Decalogue also became weak, useless, and obsolete. New covenant new creations in Christ don’t need words of death written on stone. You are weak and useless, except for a little comedy with your ridiculous arrogance and ignorance. The Decalogue was the heart and soul of the old covenant. It doesn’t remain when the covenant is over.

@@terrygreenman1540 sorry, Nope. They are not the same as the law of Moses.

You as Rob teach antinomianism, which is Heresy.
Adam Clarke held, "The Gospel proclaims liberty from the ceremonial law, but binds you still faster under the moral law. To be freed from the ceremonial law is the Gospel liberty; to pretend freedom from the moral law is Antinomianism."
Claim: "It doesn't matter which day you keep, just as long as you keep one."
Answer: Really? Then why did God create "the" Sabbath day? Why did God bless "the" seventh day? Why did God sanctify "the" seventh day? Why did God call the 7th day "My" Sabbath day, and "My" holy day?
Why did God command His people to remember to rest on "the" seventh day (Exodus 20:8-11)? Notice God did not say "Remember one day out of seven, to keep it holy!" No. He did say, "Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy."
If the Law of God is something we are to recognize as merely good advice while retaining an inability to follow its precepts, we might more appropriately title that Law, "The Ten Suggestions."
Each one of God's Ten Commandments is very specific. Nothing is left to chance. Nothing is confused, not according to the scripture evidence. There is, of course, no technical difference between one day of the week and another, they are each 24 hours long, except that God said that we are to keep one specific day.
This, like the tree of life versus the tree of knowledge of good and evil in the Garden of Eden, is a simple test of loyalty to God. If all the days are the same, why not keep the one God said to? If we are going to keep a day holy, why not God's day?
Thy Deciever has whisper in Thy ear, LAW, call it Law, not Torah.
It all started with a word. And all the Deciever does, is put Different definitions forward to Thy Words spoken.
It truly is that simple to sway man...
God looked at everything He had made, and„ behold, they were very good”. Gradually, the sun set, which marked the beginning of the seventh day. We could not believe that, at the close of the week of a new creation, the God of beauty would not have celebrated this great event. For this reason, (I believe) in the outpouring of the sunset, choirs of angels sang a song of praise for all that had been created. Even though the sun was setting, in the presence of the Creator and His angels, it was not night.„ When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy” (Job 38,7) In the glory and unimaginable freshness, the Sabbath and the first wedding of the most beautiful couple took place. All nature was in celebration.These two are the most attacked by satan's tools!
I want you to do a video on how you figure the covenant has been inaugurated and changed
Didn’t he touch on that in his back and forth with David ?
I assumed he pointed to Jesus being the ultimate sacrifice where animal sacrifice is no longer necessarily
The Sabbath rest's Gentiles are receiving is a spiritual Sabbath rest (Jesus Christ).
The organizing principles of Messiah teachings are all based on 100% Torah. Which, by the way, Torah explains how tp LOVE YAHWAY, Not with legalized structures, but of the heart, HIS heart. As demonstrated by the Messiah.

Jeremiah 31:31-34 (ESV): The New Covenant
31 “Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah, 32 not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, my covenant that they broke, though I was their husband, declares the Lord. 33 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 34 And no longer shall each one teach his neighbor and each his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, declares the Lord. For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.”
the 10 Commandments are not a Covenant. Too Funny
Thank You for your opinion I disagree though. I think if you would do the research in Hebrews ch 4 v1-11 in KJB and also in the Aramaic English New Testament.You might give it a read, at least it could give you more insight. I thank you kindly.

Well , you finished strong,,,strongly ironic!
Romans 12:2 is very relevant to be sure.
So honest question, what is the pattern of this world when it comes to a weekly day of rest?
If legalism could make a man holy the Pharisees and teachers of the Law would have been the most righteous men that ever lived, but the Lord rebuked them in Matthew 23.
@Vincent-gc3cusin is simply missing the mark. We are no longer under the Levitical priesthood laws. We are under the laws of Jesus in the priesthood of Judah.
There is a change and Jesus showed many demonstrations of the changes to come.
Sin is now missing the mark according to the covenant God made with us through Jesus.
“Now if perfection had been attainable through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people received the law), what further need would there have been for another priest to arise after the order of Melchizedek, rather than one named after the order of Aaron? For when there is a change in the priesthood, there is necessarily a change in the law as well.”
Hebrews 7:11-12
No christians believes that God has no laws, we just believe that the laws he wants us to keep and follow are the ones Jesus and his disciples demonstrated for us to follow. The ones we don’t want to follow are the ones that was spoken to not follow.
Who am I to go against Jesus
@Vincent-gc3cuyou are a sinner. You sin in thought, motive, and intention. Say you aren’t a sinner and you lie
@@MrGainessin is lawlessness and missing the mark of the glorious standard of Jesus. Sin in the new covenant is breaking the law of Christ.
The law of Christ is to love perfectly. We are all messed up. Some of the most messed up people on earth are religious people. It’s ok to be messed up. Jesus loves messed up people. Your statement is true. I wholeheartedly agree.
@Vincent-gc3cu God has instructed his body of believers to be on the lookout 👀 for false prophets and heretics. 👀 I see you. Humans are the species that constantly makes evaluations and judgments. Paul exhorts the church to be on guard and watch for the dogs and the evil doers. You are an annoying dog barking at the body of Christ.
@Vincent-gc3cu I judge you to be a biblical fool. Stop being a fool and I’ll stop judging you.
Isaiah 66:23 (KJV)
And it shall come to pass, [that] from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD.
Many other verses speak of the end days about all other nations shall keep and worship on the Sabbath and all the Holy days .
Read it for yourselves.
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death [Exodus 31:14-15; Exodus 35:1-2; Numbers 15:32-36; 2 Corinthians 3:7], but the gracious gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord [Matthew 11:28-30; Hebrews 4]. (NASB)
Mr Solberg, could you explain Gen 2:2-3. The word Shabbat (sabbath) is not the Hebrew word for rest but Shabath (to cease). The seventh day of creation had no evening and morning like the other 6days, which leads me to think that the seventh day was not only a sabbath but eternal and made Holy, Sanctified because the Lord’s work was complete, good. Hebrews 4 tells us to enter into His rest, eternal life, like the sabbath of creation week, eternal.

Luke 23.56
Here Are Examples Of Paul Keeping Torah:
* Circumcised Timothy (Acts 16:1-3)
* Took the nazarite vow (Acts 18:18; 21:17-26)
* Taught and observed Gods holy days such as:
* Passover (Acts 20:6; 1Cor. 5:6-8; 11:17-34)
* Shavuot (Pentecost) (Acts 20:16; 1Cor. 16:8)
* Fasting on Yom Kippur (Acts 27:9)
.
Paul and others made a Temple sacrifice for their Nazarite vow,
.
So Paul went to the Temple the next day with the other men. They had already started the purification ritual, so he publicly announced the date when their vows would end and sacrifices would be offered for each of them. Acts 21:26
.

Paul kept the Sabbath
Acts 18:4 - And he (Paul) reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks.(Gentiles)
.
.
Paul taught that a believer in Yeshua the Messiah is saved by grace through faith (Ephesians 2:8-9).
.
After we are saved by grace through faith, Paul taught that we should follow the Torah (Romans 3:28-31).
.
.
Paul followed the Torah through the help of the Holy Spirit (Romans 7:22).
.
.
Paul did not teach people to observe the law in order to be saved or justified.
.
.
That was not the purpose of the law.
.
.
He taught them to observe the law in order to honor God as they walked out the Christian life in the footsteps of their Lord Jesus.

By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep HIS commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. .....1 John 5:2-3 KJV

I dont have all the bible answers but IF Messiah declared the unclean, clean, by abolishing the Law of Elohim His PERFECT TORAH, Psalms 19:7, Instructions, Teachings for righteous SET APART living in this evil wicked world then HE SINNED by transgressing Deut 4:2 AND that would make Isaiah a False Prophet for making this end time prophesy of Messiahs return ….. Isaiah 66:15-17
.
For, behold, the LORD will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire.
.
16 For by fire and by his sword will the LORD plead with all flesh: and the slain of the LORD shall be many.

17 They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one [tree] in the midst, eating swine's flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, saith the LORD.
END TIMES PROPHECY
Mat 24:20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
Matthew 24: 20 Christ says to "pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, *neither on the sabbath day:"* First, let's all be honest. Mt. 24:20 does NOT say anything about Christians keeping the Sabbath. The implicit argument from the supposed Sabbath keepers is that, Mt. 24:20 shows that the disciples would be keeping the Sabbath and therefore, would not be able to *"flee"* on the Sabbath day. Therefore, they should pray to God begging Him to not make them brake the Sabbath by *"fleeing"* even if it were to save their own lives. It's a rather preposterous doctrine, *because God has no problem with anyone fleeing for their own safety on the Sabbath.* Christ taught you can break the Sabbath to pull an ox out of the ditch, so saving your life and the life of your loved ones on the Sabbath is not a sin.
So, what is the meaning? It doesn't say Christians are keeping the Sabbath, although, it would be possible that Jewish Christians at the time of Christ could be keeping the Sabbath in Jerusalem. Nonetheless, there is only one thing that would remotely cause Christians to be concerned about fleeing on the Sabbath and that is that the Pharisees forbid running or even walking very far on the Sabbath because it was deemed "Work" and therefore, they should be persecuted, hunted down and stoned according to the law of Moses.
Mt. 24:20 has an implicit warning about the Pharisees and those of the law, going to persecute and murder the Christians for breaking the Sabbath not teaching Sabbath keeping to the entire world, as they would have you believe. Once again, the shoddy and desperate abuse of the scripture of the Adventists and their like is exposed. And, trust me, those who CLAIM, to keep the Sabbath have no problem SECRETLY breaking the Sabbath fleeing or not.
If you are keeping the Sabbath day, you won't be the ones fleeing, you will be in church and "resting" . However, throughout, the New Testament, the Sabbath keepers are persecuting and murdering the Christians.
In 70 AD those that escaped left Jerusalem before the day of judgment on Jerusalem. What's odd is that the Sabbath keepers remained and were destroyed.
For gentiles
Act 15:21 For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath day.
The Adventists and their like are so deceptive. They will tell you that the Law of Moses doesn't include the Sabbath. But, they know they are lying when they say it. Because as soon as they read Acts 15:21 *they immediately say it means that the Gentiles WERE TO LEARN MOSES at the synagogues!** Acts 15:21 does not say at all what Adventists and their like *claim to send to Gentile Christians to Jewish Synagogue to learn Moses!* The entire chapter of Acts 15 and most of Acts 16 is a condemnation of the abuse of Christ's name and gospel to preach MOSES! Every sentence in every verse and every word of Acts 15 is condemnation of those who would dare preach Moses to the Gentile Christians.
*In fact they very reason why the Apostles wrote letters, is because the Jews were preaching MOSES! So, the Apostles sent out a DECREE, telling the Jewish Christians not to pester, nag or intimidate the Gentile Christians that were coming to Christ, by faith!* And the decree from the Apostles and bishops of the Church is a direct commandment by the Holy Spirit (God Almighty) to leave the Gentiles ALONE, who are coming to Christ in writing! Moreover, once more, the Adventist say Moses' Law is all *"CEREMONIAL"* and Done Away at the cross! Once again, I catch them in their own deceptive practices! It goes to show how everyone that the SDA all know they are lying when they say the 10 commandments are part of the law of Moses! They all are so dishonest! How do they live with themselves?! *Acts 15:21 does not say at all what Adventists and their like claim to send to Gentile Christians to Jewish Synagogue to learn Moses!* The entire chapter of Acts 15 and most of Acts 16 is a condemnation of the abuse of Christ's name and gospel to preach MOSES! Every sentence in every verse and every word of Acts 15 is condemnation of those who would dare preach Moses to the Gentile Christians.

@@jessedonaldson2536 It's so fascinating that many cults love to take Isaiah 66 out of context with faulty biblical hermanutics. It doesn't matter if you're a part of the Hebrew roots movement or the 7 day adventists or even the black Hebrew Israelites
Isaiah 66 also talked about bringing back the Levitical priesthood as well.
This is a problem because the book of Hebrews talks about the Levitical priesthood being obsolete.
Now we can keep the obsolete old covenant if we don’t do it legalistically, we can keep it even though it was nailed to the cross and vanished away, this is very interesting!

Hi Michael. Actually what I said is keeping the old covenant _rituals_ is permitted but not required. (e.g., seventh day Sabbath, kosher diet, feast, circumcision.) I also said that keeping them will not add a microgram to our righteousness or our salvation. That only comes through faith in Jesus.

Are you saying that God permits Christians to perform the feasts of unleavened bread,feast of trumpets, feast of tabernacles, etc. that pointed to Jesus as their fulfillment? Are you saying that the Jews are permitted to continue in their round of ceremonies and at the same time except Jesus as the fulfillment of those ceremonies?
0:18 The first choice,
6 “And the foreigners who join themselves to the Lord,
to minister to him, to love the name of the Lord,
and to be his servants,

7 these I will bring to my holy mountain,
and make them joyful in my house of prayer;
their burnt offerings and their sacrifices
will be accepted on my altar;
for my house shall be called a house of prayer
for all peoples.”
Isaiah 56:6-7 was referenced by Jesus in Matthew 21:13, Mark 11:17, and Luke 19:46. This promise says the Sabbath-keeping foreigners will be brought to God's holy mountain and house of prayer where their burnt offerings and sacrifices will be accepted on the altar. Is this a reference to the Temple destroyed in 70AD, or a future temple, or both?
@dancingzolins6782 Yes, its our sacrifice now, Atonement payment made. There is no temple now, We need to repent and turn around Our way of Life and except HIS way of life. For this is the Love of HIS Name.❤

To the majority, no. Jesus broke the man made traditions of the Pharisees purposefully to show them their disobedience. Jesus said it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath. There is no command that goes against loving your neighbor as yourself, nor is there one against loving God with all of your heart. This is why the priests ministered in the temple on the Sabbath: God's law says to. An example of Jesus correcting the Pharisees is:
Matthew 15:1-3
[1]Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying,
[2]Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.
[3]But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?
Matthew 15:8-9
[8]This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
[9]But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
I skipped a few verses for brevity. This is the same chapter where people say Jesus did away with the food laws, even though He is preaching obedience to God's law (a.k.a. the law of Moses) rather than men teaching their own laws. Back to what Jesus said, it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath. Paul says this:
Romans 7:12
[12]Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.
Mr. Solberg followed what Jesus said about mercy rather than sacrifice back to Hosea, but it goes back to Saul in 1 Samuel 15. Saul disobeyed God and gave excuses, keeping the animals to sacrifice to God and sparing Agag. He told Samuel that he had been obedient. Samuel tells Saul:
1 Samuel 15:22-23
[22]And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.
[23]For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king.
To obey is better than sacrifice. This lines up perfectly with what Mr. Solberg neglected to read in Hosea.
Hosea 6:4-7
[4]O Ephraim, what shall I do unto thee? O Judah, what shall I do unto thee? for your goodness is as a morning cloud, and as the early dew it goeth away.
[5]Therefore have I hewed them by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of my mouth: and thy judgments are as the light that goeth forth.
[6]For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
[7]But they like men have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against me.
This also lines up perfectly with what Jesus said. The Pharisees were condemning people based on their commands, not God's. Professing to be obedient, but rebelling instead.
If it’s optional to observe the old covenant Sabbath, the old covenant can’t be obsolete!
He's said it was not required, but you are permitted to do it if you want
The ritual is permitted, such as circumcision, feasts etc. Provided we do it not as a requirement for salvation but as a celebration that points towards Christ, as He is our Sabbath. He is the substance to which the shadows in the Law and Prophets pointed towards. At least that is my understanding of it! God bless 😁
@@coachdanferreira
Why would one continue in the shadow when it’s substance has arrived?
@@AlstonMurrayyou can’t observe a ritual that doesn’t exist. New covenant new creations in Christ enter God’s rest through Jesus. Christians keep sabbath everyday by not lifting a finger or burning one calorie working to attain or maintain righteousness. The form of sabbath changed when the better high priest eat a better covenant based upon better promises and necessarily established a new and better law. Judaizers suck.
My bad - spell check guy was on a break. Jesus established a new and better law. Book of Hebrews is a compare and contrast book. Jesus is the better high priest who changed the law. If you choose love perfectly today, you have kept the law of Christ. You will fail - it’s ok to fail.
Deuteronomy 23:25 “When you enter your neighbor’s standing grain, you may pluck the heads of grain with your hand, but you are not to use a sickle on your neighbor’s standing grain.“ (NASB)
Matthew 12:1 At that time Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath, and His disciples became hungry and began to pick the heads of grain and eat. 2 Now when the Pharisees saw this, they said to Him, “Look, Your disciples are doing what is not lawful to do [Talmud] on a Sabbath!”
Same here!

@@vernmiroth1626 life is so strange. People change🤷♂️
Did Jesus enjoy healing or was it simply work? Jesus was always working. He broke every Shabbat. Here’s John McArthur on what Jesus could do on Shabbat: “ Anything he wanted to do.” And I’m not a McCarthur guy, but he’s correct.
The cry against the Sabbath has been “old covenant old covenant”, and now it’s optional to observe the so-called old covenant Sabbath !
The cry of "old covenant" is not necessary. The sabbath day is clearly defined as a covenant between God and Israel (Ex. 31:12-17).
The church, or body of Christ is not Gentile and it is not Israel, it is "one new man" and "a perfect man" (Eph. 2:15; 4:13). This new entity (the body of Christ/church) was never commanded to keep a sabbath day.
Paul taught that squabbling over certain foods and specific days of observance were a stumblingblock between believers (Rom. 14:1-15:12). This stumblingblock remains today, as different 'denominations' argue over legalistic nonsense that has nothing to do with the work of Christ on the cross.
It’s not optional- it’s impossible. Shabbat required a Levitical priest to kill two male lambs one year old without blemish.

@@TheBiblicalRoots I appreciate your response but it is becoming more apparent that many Christians are using interpretations to explain away the Bible similar to what the Jews do to Isaiah 53. That is why you have three interpretations. The Bible is very clear regarding God's moral law. “For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law. So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty”? (James 2:10-12) Why would Christ come and die and pay the penalty of transgression if He would just abolish His law? A rejection of Gods moral law is a rejection of the perfect sacrifice of Christ on the cross. Jesus says, “Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.” (Matthew 7:21) Jesus tells them “I never knew you”. “This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.” (Read Matthew 15:3-9) “For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law. So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty”? (James 2:10-12) For further study READ: Matthew 5:17-19; Matthew 15:3-6; Mark 7:6-9; Mark 2:27,28; Matthew 19:17-22; Luke 16:7; Mark 10:19-21; John 14:15; Romans 3:31; Romans 7:12; 1 Corinthians 7:19; Romans 7:22-25; Romans 8:1-4; Revelation14:12: Revelation 22:14; James 2:11,12; 1 John 3:4; Roman 7:7; Roman 13:9,10; Genesis 2:1-3; Luke 23:54,56.
The law is perfect. Psalm 19.7 Jesus taught the the way to keep the law. The Sabbath was never not to be kept. Jesus showed the way to keep it. Luke 4.16
Galatians 2:16 (ESV): 16 yet we know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified.
has Nothing to do with this, you must go to the same Church Rob does
Why dont we celebrate on Sat as God intended but excuse the celebration on Sun. This makes no sense why we celebrate on Sun. What was wrong with celebrating it on Sat.
Sabbath keeping Part 2
Matthew 12, Jesus’ disciples were gleaning on the Sabbath. According to Talmudic law plucking=harvesting, removing husks=winnowing, chewing=grinding, The Pharisees were forcing poor people to starve on the Sabbath.
God allows us to keep his law on the Sabbath. That’s the order and priority. If you need to work really hard at not killing someone on the Sabbath, you better do that. These are time sensitive Exceptions, fleeing for one’s own life, pulling your sheep from a ditch, etc.
If a boy is born on Shabbat, he must be circumcised on the following Shabbat, and a Moyle must perform this. However, your elderly neighbor is not going to die if you wait to cut their grass on Sunday.
3:35 Remez, Yes I agree Jesus was using Remez in this case, but you got everything else wrong. You’d like to believe Jesus was speaking to his disciples and giving some sermon on the mount/beatitudes type of teaching. The fact is, Jesus was speaking to the Pharisees, and the hint (the blank that the Pharisees were to fill in) was “the knowledge of God” knowledge being the virtue prized above all by the Pharisees. Jesus was saying to the Pharisees, You don’t even know God, or his word. If they did they would not have condemned the innocent, because they would have known they were doing nothing wrong. Kinda makes more sense, right?
Luke 6:9 Jesus is showing the contrast between his disciples gleaning on the Sabbath, and the Pharisees adding to Gods commands on the Sabbath. Gleaning=lawful, adding to Gods word=unlawful, eating food=saving life, starving poor people on the Sabbath=destroying life.
John 5:8 Many, if not most of Jesus’ miracles were coupled with breaking man made traditions. Proving he was God, and that Shiloh has come Gen. 49:10.
John 5:17 So they way you understand this verse, Jesus broke the Sabbath, admitted to breaking the Sabbath, and is a sinner, and Jesus accused God of also being a sinner??? I think you missed something.
11:55 “The entire posture changes toward the Sabbath” Jesus is simply countering the overzealous strivings of the Sabbath by the Pharisees.
Jesus gave no commandments regarding the Sabbath, because he already did in the Torah.
Where in the Torah does it state “Any command not repeated by Shiloh when he comes are null and void”? Or that any man, or even God himself can abrogate any part of the Law?
“Jesus didn’t rebuke anyone for failing to keep the Sabbath” where is that example? Who did Jesus encounter not keeping the Sabbath? Everyone was keeping the Sabbath. Everyone was keeping the Sabbath in error, in accordance with Pharisaical tradition, and he rebuked that.
Yeah many commands were repeated in the New Testament, those commands were not being followed.
“The silence on the Sabbath command is notable” on a word per page ratio, Sabbath is mentioned more often in the New Testament than the Old. It’s been a while since I’ve researched this, but I remember it being almost 2 to 1.
Romans 14:5 One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. 6 He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.
Compare with:
Zachariah 7:5 Speak unto all the people of the land, and to the priests, saying, When ye fasted and mourned in the fifth and seventh month, even those seventy years, did ye at all fast unto me, even to me? 6 And when ye did eat, and when ye did drink, did not ye eat for yourselves, and drink for yourselves?
This is not about the Sabbath, it’s about fasting, weekly frequency, and traditions.
Jesus does not replace our rest. We encounter Jesus in our rest when we rest with him on the Sabbath. Let me explain, in Matt 7:23 Jesus says “And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.” I never knew you… How do you get to know someone? By spending time with them, mostly. Jesus is saying, we never hung out together, we never spent the day together, you never came to any of my parties, we were never in the same place at the same time. Gods Sabbaths are his appointed times, appointments, you have appointments with God, and you don’t show up.
I keep hearing the word “required” all I can say is (speaking for myself) when your given the gift of the Holy Spirit. You are endowed with the God given power to keep Gods Torah, the Holy Spirit encourages and empowers you to keep Gods commandments. Gods seventh day Sabbath such a joy and blessing, from my perspective this attitude is so foreign to me, I don’t even understand it. I’m not questioning anyones faith (that’s Jesus’ job) it just seems like their Holy Spirit has been quenched and diminished to a point of ineffective/inactive as if they’ve hid their talent in the earth. I’ve seen a lot of teaching against keeping Gods Torah/Sabbath from people who literally have zero experience in the matter, but act as though they are expert. I’ve also seen many horror stories about people leaving the “Hebrew roots movement” some may be legitimate, there are many cult like sects, but also many of those stories sound contrived. We are living through the age of deceit , and the answer to it is not compromise. You need to decide Did God and Satan completely switch sides on this issue at the Cross, because we know for a fact, that before the Cross God was very pro Torah, and Satans’ role was to get people to do anything but Gods’ Torah. So what then, did God and Satan just switch seats?

The Sabbath was a foreshadow of the rest we have in christ it was part of the old covenant and is finished

He is confused about the Law of our LORD God Jesus Christ to the Law of Moses. The Law of our LORD God Jesus Christ is the Ten Commandments which is binding up to our time and the Law of Moses which is the Ceremonial Law is no longer binding in our time.

In loving kindness, and as your humble servant. As a former so-called “Sunday Keeping” Christian, and now seventh day, I disagree with your biblical perspective on some of the core references you presented as follows. May a mustard seed of faith be found and grow in me and your readers' heart from the discussion, if any. My intent is not so much to persuade you that so-called “keeping” of the seventh day sabbath is even possible by yourself without God for salvation, but to implore you to search your conscience. May I implore the same, to use scripture for reproving sound doctrine on the matter in coordination with the Holy Spirit (Timothy 3:16).
First, I think you may have fallen into the deception that when reading about the (false) actions, words, and teachings of the Pharisees, that (their intended) false teachings were in any way inspired to help their audience. No, the Pharisees can't be our example, nor should you consider them having wisdom because they were a generation of vipers (Mat12:34,Mat5:20.) When you read in the gospels according to the apostles what the Pharisees (falsely) taught and thought, it was almost certainly unscriptural. Meaning, there was already scripture written and available which reproved all the Pharisees' false doctrine in most cases. In every other relevant so-called exceptional so-called unclear trick/deception presented by the Pharisees, our Savior has perfectly clarified. The same our Savior clarified for the reference you mentioned (Mat12:11-12) 6:03 min mark …on picking the heads of grain, and in reference to the priestly duties. I can’t fathom how our hearts must have become so blinded by the time our Savior came, that He had to clarify “It is lawful to do good on the Sabbath”, because the Pharisees pretended not to see this clearly in the scriptures written of God by his own finger (Exe31:18) and the prophets already. It is also likewise unfathomable how these beautiful verses about God’s saving of life, and miracles happening for us (especially on the Sabbath) can be perceived against believing anything God has already said through the prophets in scripture confirming these things about the Sabbath (Isa 58:13) and what God spake Himself from heaven (Exe20:1-19).
Likewise, Matt12:8 also Luk6:5, and Mark2:27 do NOT falsify the Sabbath, but confirm that it was made for ALL mankind not only Jews, and has existed as an institution since creation (Gen2:1-3), and that the Father and Son are one (Joh10:30.)
Based on how many errors in such obvious meaning and teaching that were missed in part 1 and part 2 of this series so far, and how they were presented as foundational to your understanding of the inspiration to the so-called “(a) christian First-Day, Sun-Day sabbath”, I hesitate to comment how one can maintain the so-called Tension of Sabbath in Scripture 16:49 min mark and beyond as presented is reproof for sound doctrine (Timothy 3:16).
Your main argument at this point if I am not misrepresenting the view is that “Because I currently can not clearly see a good enough reference for me to the so-called Sabbath “Keeping” in the New Testament, I am free to … declare my own day of rest (on the first day instead of the seventh day) for which God must honor and declare as Holy as Gen2:2-3 and elsewhere because… I-Because-it-so.`` Forgive me, is this your opinion (Isa14:13)?
I gathered, as you stated, to potentially “help us” choose the first day as “A sabbath”... was that it was convenient for you… because you prefer grading papers on the seventh day? Or is it because your friends have also chosen to gather only on the first day based on a similar moral stance?
I have heard seemingly biblical rationale for Sunday meetings relating to a devout belief in what our Savior actually did, not a conjecture on what they think the scripture does NOT say regarding this topic has something secret profound for meditation on what is not in the scriptures. Did not our savior say he did nothing in secret (Joh 18:20)? Is there a reason you didn’t even touch an obvious and potentially plausible doctrine why to meet on the First day based on what our Savour did? Do you not like the source of that doctrine or is it not convincing to you?
I hope I have not offended you too bitterly. Ask God if so-called “Sabbath Keeping” is foundational to salvation. I for one am sure salvation is believe in the Only begotten Son of the Father Joh3:16, and yea even in His Name (Joh1:12). However I think it is important to be honest about what the scriptures have to say so that one can make an informed conscientious decision on something as potentially reproof as as the decalogue, and the Sabbath.
Please let me know if you disagree based on scripture and the Holy Spirit.
Blessings.
Claim: "As Christians, we are under grace and thus aren't supposed to keep the Sabbath."
Answer: Why would Christians twist his words to mean that being "under grace" gives them a license to break God's fourth commandment by substituting some other day for the 7th day?
Would Sunday keeping Christians use the very same logic and say that being "under grace" means they can break God's sixth commandment: "You shall not murder?" Did God say, "You shall not murder except when you are under grace?" No.
Being "under grace" simply means the blood of Christ has forgiven us and we are no longer under the condemnation of the Law - it does not mean we are free to sin by disobeying God.
Truly truly I say to You,
It is that simple.

If you notice Solberg is constantly contradicting himself. First he says Jesus expects Jewish believers to keep the sabbath in the end times in Matthew 24, then he says it was done away with.
Which is it ? How do you know you're not an Israelite? How do you know I'm not a descendent from one of the tribes?
This dispensation theology gets destroyed pretty quickly
Words are important, Indo.
If you watch this video again, you will notice that I never said "Jesus expects Jewish believers to keep the sabbath in the end times." What I said was, "Jesus clearly anticipates that his Jewish followers will continue to keep the Sabbath." The difference? Jesus _knew_ observance of a seventh-day Sabbath would continue, but He did not _require_ it to continue. Also, I never said the seventh day Sabbath was "was done away with," I said it is "permitted nut not required."
Also, I'm not a dispensationalist.
Shalom,

@@TheBiblicalRoots so there are Israelites during the end times that he anticipates will keep the sabbath. Who and where are these Israelites that he anticipates will keep this Sabbath? Meaning how do you know you are not an israelite?
@@indo3052 Hi Indo. I know I am not an Israelite because I am not a member of the ancient Hebrew nation. And my Ancestry.com results indicate no Jewish ancestry. Also, I believe in Matt 24:20 Jesus was referring to the destruction of the temple which happened in 70 AD, not the end times. And, again, the seventh day Sabbath observance was never forbidden or prohibited. It is permitted but not required for all followers of Jesus, whether they are Jewish or Gentile.
Shalom! RLS
@@TheBiblicalRoots You said Jesus anticipates them to keep it in end times. I thought you were referring to end times meaning the time before the Messiah comes. But I guess you were referring to 70 ad end times

You just quoted Galatians two. That is not rebuking Peter for doing God's law .....that is Judaism... the law doesn't permit such behavior. You are not supposed to to treat uncircumcised differently.
Paul rebuke Peter for doing Judaism and he called it works of the law .
You completely misrepresented galations two
This is not a case for the Sabbath as you proclaim. It's a case for making God in your own image. The New testament born again experience wasn't first mentioned in the gospel accounts. It's first mentioned in Deuteronomy 30, Ezekiel 36, and Jeremiah 31....and what is the result of that born again experience according to Tanakh? Correct! It is obedience to Torah. "I will Remove your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh and I will place my spirit within you to cause you to walk in my statutes and my regulations." But wait, doesn't Paul talk about that very same thing in his mail, I mean midrash, to the Torah observant Jewish Rabbi in charge of the synagogue in Rome? I think he does. In Romans 2 it says, "For it is not merely the hearers of Torah that are considered righteous, rather it is the doers of what Torah says who will be made righteous in God's sight, for whenever gentiles, who have no Torah, begin to do naturally (through the leading of the Ruach HaKodesh) what the Torah requires, then even these, have become Torah!!
According to God, Moshe, Ezekiel, Jeremiah, Yeshua Rabbeinu and even Paul, the result of the born again experience should be Torah observance. Anything other than that, and youre being led astray by your desires and lusts, and the doctrines of evil men. Or, in the worst case scenario, your 'Jesus' is not the Jewish messiah, King of Israel, Son of God, Son of David or any other title you wish to give him. Instead, according to Deut 13, he's the false prophet sent by God to take you away from the mitzvot which are designed to draw you close to Him.
Hi, RR! I teach and believe that obedience to God is of utmost importance for believers. We are to submit to His authority over our lives. Jesus said, “If you love me, you will keep my commandments” (John 14:15). And I’m sure you would agree that not every command God has given applies to every person at all times. Some only apply to certain people (i.e., men, women, parents, Levitical priests) or at certain times (i.e., building an ark, gathering manna, while in exile). And I’m sure you would also agree that we are each only expected to keep the commands of God that apply to us. The NT expressly teaches that many of the commands given under the Old Covenant Law do not apply to Christians today. (ex. Repeated blood sacrifices for sin are no longer required (Heb 10:18).) We still serve God and obey His commands, “But now we are released from the law, having died with Christ to that which held us captive, so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit and not in the old way of the written code” (Rom 7:6). “If you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law: (Gal. 5:18).
So, no, when Jesus speaks of being born again, he is not talking about keeping the Old Covenant law, but rather the New Covenant law.
Blessings, RLS
@@TheBiblicalRoots yes, I agree that the covenant relationship with Hashem has a hierarchy and those at the Top are servants to those on the bottom. What is applicable to men is not applicable to women, children, priests, etc. This is not a new thing. It's always been that way. Look at how much of a servant Abraham was. Even Yeshua, after healing the lepers, still sent the healed person to the priests for the purification ritual. Even Yeshua was subject to the authority of the priests so the hierarchy was in place even for Yeshua. This is why there were no discussions about gentile conversions because Adonai had already passed along through Abraham the established process for proselytes. Doesn't Yeshua give everyone the guidance, "listen to Rabbis and be sure to do all they instruct you for their authority comes from Moshe"? I paraphrased, but that's basically what it says. The Messiah absolutely rebukes, and reproves and that rebuke and correction doesn't end with the son of God. Doesn't judgment come to the house of the Lord first? And where/who is the house of the Lord? Oh yeah, Judah and Israel. This is to whom the New Covenant belongs, as a goyim you don't get the new covenant until you circumcise your heart and submit to Judah. You have to become like the mixed multitudes that came out of Egypt with Israel. And Genesis 49:10 still holds true. The scepter of power and authority rests with Judah until they give it to Shiloh. Esav must grab a hold of his brother and truly love him. You can't love God the way He desires to be loved until you love Ya'akov, honor Ya'akov and respect Ya'akov.
Regarding your current understanding:
It is very possible the idea of Jesus is a god you've created in your mind and not the Jewish Messiah as described in Tanakh. If the Jewish Messiah doesn't lead you to Torah observance, he can't be the Messiah. Jesus, by your understanding, is the prophet sent by God to test you and separate you from God (Deuteronomy 13). John of Patmos envisioned a people that obeyed God's commandments and had their testimony in Yeshua (Revelation 12:17). Paul sacrificed in Acts 21 when he was purified along with the other four (vow of Nazir - Num.16) as directed by the Jerusalem council. Paul believed in circumcision (Galatians 5:11) and explains earlier in Galatians that Titus wasn't forced. So did Titus choose to be circumcised of his own recognizance because the Ruach was leading him in accordance with Romans 2? And what about the millennial kingdom reign as spoken of in Ezekiel 40-45, especially Ezekiel 45 where the prince (that is supposed to be Messiah, and according to you, Jesus) offers up sacrifices on his behalf and on behalf of the people? How or why is this possible if your Jesus paid it all on the cross and there is no more sacrifice?
And speaking of a comment you made reference:, "let no one judge you regarding a Sabbath day, new moon festival...etc" Paul sent this letter/midrash via Pony Express to Colossia. Is it possible that he sent it to a Rabbi in charge of a Jewish Synagogue in Colossia and that the congregation was Torah observant but surrounded by Greeks and Romans that ridiculed them for obeying the Lord's moedim? If so, then the whole entire meaning of that passage turns on its head. What if all the "churches" Paul sent a midrash to was an actual Synagogue, led by Jewish Rabbis that also believed in Yeshua? Wasn't Timothy circumcised for that purpose, so he could be a legitimate Jewish Rabbi sent by Paul? Seems like to me, Yeshua and Paul agree, salvation is of, and from, the Jews. And Israel must be a light to the nations because God's word said so and His word does not return to Him void.
I spent my whole seeing Yeshua in the Tanakh just like you. Moshe, Isaac, Noach, Joseph....all symbolic of Yeshua. What is Yeshuas' life symbolic of Rob? What if the life of Yeshua is a concentrated version of the story of Israel? If Yeshua arose from the dead, how will the other son of God, Israel, rise from the dead? Is it possible that the answer is the unification between law and love as described in Ezekiel 36? Shouldn't the unification of law and love cause the resurrection of those in the valley of dry bones and the two sticks being joined together as depicted in Ezekiel 37? There is no other way to reach Judah and hold on to your current understanding. You have to let it go. If you don't, you run the chance of being one of those that "scatter the flock of the Lord". And this is not a good position to be in.
35:30
Why do you fail to say that the Sabbath is a reminder of creation, that it is the identity marker of the Creator?
Deny it if you will, but the scripture inseparably connects the seventh day to creation.
Question, other then "because God said so", why do you supposed we currently have a seven day week?
You are ignorant. Sit down, shut up, and listen. Shabbat was rooted in creation and deliverance. The first set of tablets became dust on the desert floor. In the second set there is no mention of creation. It’s why Torah heretics always quote Exodus and not Deuteronomy. Deuteronomy 5:15 is Moses speaking to Israel; not you. “ You shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and the Lord your God brought you out of there with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm. Therefore the Lord your God commanded you to keep the sabbath day.” Hello, are you awake? Jesus being creator saves no one. Jesus being a propitiation and redeemer saves sinners. Here’s Paul being astounded that anyone can be exposed to Christ crucified and still think days of the week are relevant in the new covenant. “ You observe days and months and seasons and years! I am afraid I have labored over you in vain.” Galatians 4:10. Note the inspired exclamation point. I work 12 hours every Saturday and 10 hours every Sunday. I like taco Tuesday. I consider every day the same, and it’s not about fasting as perverters of scripture proclaim. Every day believers rest in Christ. Every day is a sabbath of sorts. The literal sabbath as a shadow law placed precisely in the center of the words of the covenant, ended when the promise to Abraham as fulfilled. A conditional covenant God did not make with you, and a covenant that that has not existed in 2,000 years.
Rob, your first Minute Rebuttal. Thy pharisees of the day. Thought Man’s Torah, Messiah showed us how to properly apply Torah by doing Good. Torah in this Case Sabbaths, Had Been corrupted by MAN, made “a yoke, made burdensome “
Now today’s Man, teaches against Torah… MAN is corrupted when in leadership positions that do not follow the word Torah correctly, With the heart, not your heart, but hHIS heart….
Messiah Was the Walking Talking TORAH, no GO, follow HIM. Not the wayward religions of man.
There is one thing that honestly bothers me concerning Christians and the sabbath and that is their insistence on doing it on a Sunday. All Christians know that the biblical sabbath day is Saturday and not Sunday yet, it's as if they willfully stick a finger at God and say to Him "we know your sabbath is on Saturday but we have decided that we know better than you and so we'll celebrate it on Sunday". This is wrong no matter how we try to defend our position. Please just for one minute place yourself in the Father's position by you telling the whole world that this is your day and the whole world (especially those who believe in you) tell you to get stuffed, we'll do it our way. This is the epitomy of disgraceful behavior towards the living God.
I think God answers your introductory question with his own perspective on what you call New Covenant sabbath keeping, Professor Rob. And I don’t see anyone mowing old ladies lawns on Sabbath here in the New Earth. God seems to think the idea is for all flesh to come together from one sabbath to another to worship him, not to do lawn maintenance.
For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain.
And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD.
Isaiah 66:22-23
But, back to your point. You introduce as your justification for mowing old ladies lawns on the Sabbath that Christ said it is “lawful to do well on the Sabbath” in Matthew 12. But, is that what the Savior really meant by “doing well on the Sabbath” or is that your own private interpretation of what the Savior was trying to convey there as being lawful to do? Because I went back to the law to see if it was lawful to mow an elderly ladies lawn on Sabbath, and I find nothing in the law which would justify blatantly violating the Sabbath commandment in such a fashion. In fact, according to the law, doing manual labor like that on the Sabbath would be cause to be put to death.
Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
Exodus 31:14
Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.
Exodus 31:15
Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to you an holy day, a sabbath of rest to the LORD: whosoever doeth work therein shall be put to death.
Exodus 35:2
Etc., etc., etc…
However, if we look at the Savior’s ideas in context, comparing the teaching in Matthew 12 with other accounts of similar events speaking along the same lines, we find there is a rather specific context in which the Savior’s words are carefully seated. For example,…
And he saith unto them, Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to do evil? to save life, or to kill? But they held their peace.
Mark 3:4
And again,
Then said Jesus unto them, I will ask you one thing; Is it lawful on the sabbath days to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy it?
Luke 6:9
The kind of good Christ is talking about is not simply anything you desire to claim is doing good on the Sabbath, but he is talking about situations of doing what is required for preserving life rather than works or even negligence that leads to death. Thus giving his comment a rather specific context. Because if your sheep or ox falls into a ditch, leaving it there might cause it further bodily harm or even death. So, Christ recognizes that doing the work of lifting the animal out of the ditch on Sabbath is not a transgression which would be judged as intentional sin rebellion, but is understood as a genuine concern for the immediate well being of the animal you are helping out. But, it is highly doubtful that mowing an old lady’s lawn on Sabbath will carry the same kind of justifiable weight. Christ knows as well as you do that the manual labor required to mow someone’s lawn can wait until Sabbath is over. It’s not a medical emergency or a life or death situation. This idea is also addressed in Luke 14:1-6, but in each case it seems to involve healing people or helping animals which fall into a pit or tending to other critical needs. So, it’s not clear how you got mowing lawns out of this. Christ is never seen mowing anyone’s lawn onSabbath. The issue of doing well on the Sabbath is more accurately rooted in the comparison Christ is making here in the gospel of John which he revisited in various forms throughout the gospels.
Jesus answered and said unto them, I have done one work, and ye all marvel.
Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision; (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers;) and ye on the sabbath day circumcise a man.
If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I have made a man every whit whole on the sabbath day?
John 7:21-23
This was a constant issue in the gospels. Here is another example of how they despised him for healing on the Sabbath where Christ again uses similar language.
And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath.
And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself.
And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity.
And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.
And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because that Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, and said unto the people, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath day.
The Lord then answered him, and said, Thou hypocrite, doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering?
And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?
And when he had said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed: and all the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.
Luke 13:10-17
So, the Savior appears to believe doing good on the Sabbath means healing others, helping animals with basic needs like water and loossening the bonds of Satan that oppresses and torments others which more directly seems to be along the lines of things Christ suggests would be appropriate to do on Sabbath. But again, I see nothing here which would lawfully justify mowing an old lady’s lawn on Sabbath-especially if the law defines laborious work on Sabbath as unlawful to the point of recommending the death penalty in multiple passages of the law as we read earlier. Now, why would the Jews be ashamed above. Because it was known all along that evil was not to be done on the Sabbath day.
Blessed is the man that doeth this, and the son of man that layeth hold on it; that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil.
Isaiah 56:2
What the Savior was teaching was not some new doctrine here concerning the Sabbath; hence, his referring to why it was lawful to do good on the Sabbath back in Matthew 12 and elsewhere. So, we are not supposed to pollute the Sabbath, and we are supposed to keep our hand from doing any evil. But, notice, this particular message in Isaiah 56 is to the strangers, not the Jewish nation. Meaning, this prophecy concerns the importance of the Sabbath as it pertains to the Gentiles. So, we can’t so easily say God did away with his Sabbath if he has prophecied all along that he invited Strangers (Gentiles) in to embrace his Sabbath and Covenant too in Isaiah 56. All the chapters of Isaiah 53-66 deal with post crucifixion issues quite openly and both chapters 56 and 58 address the continued importance of the Sabbath as well as chapter 66.
Hi Corey! I certainly believe that in the end, all of humanity will bow their knee and worship the Lord. I also believe that we are not supposed to pollute _any_day, and we are supposed to keep our hand from doing evil on _every_ day.
I'm curious. If "the idea is for all flesh to come together from one sabbath to another to worship him," why did God only give the Sabbath to ancient Israel? Why did He not require it of Babylon, Syria, Egypt or any other people? And if the seventh day Sabbath is required of new covenant Christians, why would the NT say, "Do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ" (Col. 2:16-17).

Hi Corey! I certainly believe that in the end, all of humanity will bow their knee and worship the Lord.
*But, Isaiah 66:22-23 gets a little more specific than that, and says all flesh will specifically worship God on New moons and Sabbaths. It’s the same kind of idea being suggested in Ezekiel 46:1-3. God seems to have a deep interest in maintaining his times and laws. And we have already seen what happened in Daniel 7:25 and Revelation 13:4-8 when God’s times and laws were changed and the little horn made war with God’s people for the 42-months/time, times and dividing of time (or 1260-prophetic years of the Great Tribulation). Christ said if those days were not cut short, no flesh would be saved in Matthew 24. So, tampering with times and laws leads to deadly outcomes like that. And this was one of the coming end time events, so it is a post crucifixion issue for certain if John was still prophecying about the matter from Daniel 7 in Revelation 2 and 13.*
I also believe that we are not supposed to pollute any_day,
*Okay, so then you believe we should not pollute the six working days as well as not polluting the Sabbath day. Excellent! However, it should be noted, there are specific things that people do which pollutes the Sabbath day which would typically be perfectly acceptable to do on any other ordinary work day within a given week. Case in point, we see the issue came up in Nehemiah 13 where various practices on Sabbath polluted/profaned the Sabbath day.
In those days saw I in Judah some treading wine presses on the sabbath, and bringing in sheaves, and lading asses; as also wine, grapes, and figs, and all manner of burdens, which they brought into Jerusalem on the sabbath day: and I testified against them in the day wherein they sold victuals.
There dwelt men of Tyre also therein, which brought fish, and all manner of ware, and sold on the sabbath unto the children of Judah, and in Jerusalem.
Then I contended with the nobles of Judah, and said unto them, What evil thing is this that ye do, and profane the sabbath day?
Neh 13:15-18
In carrying out these practices, the people forgot to Remember to keep the Sabbath holy. And so, by working on the Sabbath and engaging in commerce on the Sabbath, they polluted it.*
and we are supposed to keep our hand from doing evil on _every day.
*Yes, but as the former passage clarifies, some practices considered to be evil that can occur on Sabbath would not be considered evil on the other six working days. So, the reason God emphasizes remembering to keep the Sabbath holy is because the Sabbath comes with extra considerations which do not necessarily apply to the other six days of the week.*

Rob: I'm curious. If "the idea is for all flesh to come together from one sabbath to another to worship him," why did God only give the Sabbath to ancient Israel? Why did He not require it of Babylon, Syria, Egypt or any other people?
*Because at that time, God was laying a foundation of very carefully planned prophetic living allegories, so we could look back from our generation and see our place in the plan of salvation as the torah established the matter in type. Let’s take notice of something interesting that a lot of people simply overlook. God adds 30-years to the Israelites stay in Egypt, so they were there for 430-years by Exodus 12, not the 400-years only that was formerly established back in Abraham’s day, then God makes Israel do something really rediculous if you think about it. He makes them wander around in the desert for another 40-years. It doesn’t take no 40-years to walk from Egypt to the other side ofJordan, let’s get real and see that for what it is. But, God wanted readers to look at that situation and realize that from the Exodus to the Passover crucifixion and end of the 70th week of Daniel 9 in 34 AD is right around 30-Jubile time periods. From that point Christianity made its own post Passover exodus out of Judaism. And for the next 40-Jubilees Christianity has been wandering around in the desert being as frequently disloyal to God and his law as ancient israel was back during the 40-years it wandered in the desert. In 1994, that 40-jubilee period came to an end. That’s the same year we had this really unique and incredible, once in a very blue moon sign in the heavens. The comet shoemaker Levy 9 broke into 21 fragments that summer of 1994 and slammed into Jupiter. Was God trying to get our attention? Do you remember how at the end of the 40-years in the wilderness not everyone was allowed to enter Canaan? Joshua, Caleb, and those under the age of 21 were allowed to pass beyond Jordan into Canaan? That suggests those who will play the role of the righteous being lead by Joshua represent the 144,000 who are sealed and follow the Lamb wheresoever he goes. Because Joshua has a name very similar to Yeshua (our Savior’s name). Arron dies before Canaan, and Joshua takes over, because this points forward to christ temporarily ceasing his priestly role as our intercessor under the daily ministration in the heavenly sanctuary and begins his role as our military leader instead. So, the transition from Aaron to Joshua indicates that is what happened as we moved beyond 1994 to today. In fact, this is prophecied about in Isaiah 59 when God no longer sees christ standing as our intercessor, and he is putting on military gear and coming back to the earth to wage war: see also Zechariah 14 and Revelation 19. But wait, there is more, when Israel crossed over Jordan and entered canaan, do you remember they kept Passover and the second time they engaged in circumcission came about? Well, after the crucifixion of Christ, isn’t it curious that in Acts 15 circumcission was ceased there as well? But, in recent years, more and more Christians have been questioning that decision and today circumcission is once again a hot topic and people are returning to the practice and taking the law more seriously again. Because while it wasn’t convenient to keep much of the law and feasts while wandering around in the desert during the 40-years, many of those laws God said not to keep until they entered Canaan. Because God was using the experience of Israel to lay the foundation for us what God planned to do after we prophetically ended our time in the wilderness also in 1994.
And today, there are a vastly growing number of Christians reading Leviticus 23 and coming to the conclusion that we need to return to keeping those feasts as well. Why is this happening? Because it needs to happen for Ezekiel 37 to be fulfilled. You see, back in Zechariah 11, God broke the brotherhood of Judah and Israel after Christ was sold for 30-pieces of silver. Christ is the lion of Judah, and the house of Judah (Christianity) separated from Israel. But, today, we find more and more Christians returning to the law, the feasts, circumcision, and we find Rabbi’s getting upset that their congregations are growing with people who embrace Yeshua as their Messiah. What is happening is the two sticks of Judah and Joseph are reuniting in Christ and in the law. This is why those who get the victory in Revelation 15 sing the song of Moses and the Lamb. Because each house of Israel and Judah has something the other has been needing. Christians needed the law of Moses and to understand how that is part of the gospel message. Jews needed their Messiah Yeshua the Lamb of God. And if people fail to grasp this reunion, then they are missing one of the most wonderful prophetic fulfillments next to the cross we have ever witnessed coming to pass right under everyone’s nose.
Now, let’s step back a bit, do you remember Israel walking around Jericho under the leadership of Joshua blowing trumpets for seven days? Revelation 8-11 is a prophecy that began to fulfill after 1994 of seven trumpets which have been blowing, because the feast of Trumpets is the first of the three Fall feasts in Leviticus 23 wich christ did not fulfil back at his first coming. The fall of Jericho is a type for the fall of Babylon, and so Babylon was not chosen to receive the law of god, because cities like Jericho and Babylon represent those in the prophecy who will be destroyed for their wickedness during the plagues on the final Day of Atonement (the second Fall feast fulfilled in Revelation 15-16 and 20. But, many nations will also be preserved as prophecy tells us. Isaiah 2:1-5, Micah 4:1-5 reminds us the law will go forth from zion, God will rebuke the nations, not just Israel, and then the nations will not learn war anymore. Christianity was never able to bring the world to a point of global peace, because they rejected god’s law for the most part, and spiritual anarchy will not be reversed until God’s law goes forth from zion and the world is brought to order as we head into the restored Davidic kingdom. And after the war of Zechariah 14 and Revelation 19 is over, then Christ will be King over the earth and like Joshua the High Priest who was also the King crowned in Zechariah 6, the work to rebuild Jerusalem and its temple will begin. And as Zechariah 14 points out, every year even Gentile nations like Egypt will be required to come up year by year on penalty of no rain and being plagued to keep the feast of Tabernacles (the final Fall feast that gets fulfilled after Christ returns).
But, wy does god spare some nations and not others? Because the time when the forces of the Gentiles will be converted unto God in the prophecies like in Isaiah 60 is still future. God did offer the other nations (the Strangers/Gentiles) his Sabbath and Covenant in Isaiah 56, Professor Rob. So, many Gentiles have embraced this offer of God in part. But, when Christ took the kingdom away from those who murdered him in Matthew 21, he said he would bring in a nation that would bring forth the fruits thereof, meaning a nation that would keep the covenant the Jews failed to keep. That is why Christ quotes Isaiah 56 in Matthew 21 where he makes that claim, because Isaiah 56 is the call to the Gentiles to come in to accept god’s Sabbath and covenant. But, the last four verses of Isaiah 56 is the beginning of a derailment where the leaders and sheperds of the people mislead and teach wrong things, that happened to delay the fulfillment of Matthew 21, things go from bad to worse as we continue through Isaiah chapter 57 and get a good look at the sorceress (or the Abominable Desolate: a whorish woman who is involved in the ceasing of the daily sacrifice in Daniel 8, Joel 1, Ezekiel 7 and so on), and later the derailment starts to be addressed as the meat and drink offering of the daily sacrifice is returned at the end of the 2300-days prophecy in Daniel 8:14 and Joel 2.and the old paths start to be restored in Isaiah chapter 58, then the world becomes really evil as it is doing today leading up to Christ’s coming in Isaiah 59, and then the Gentiles are converted unto God’s people in a more serious way in Isaiah 60, finally getting around to fulfilling Christ’s promise of the nation that will bring forth the fruits thereof of the Old Covenant from Matthew 21. In fact, Isaiah 53-66 is just one lengthy and nearly linear prophecy that stretches from the Crucifixion all the way to the time of the New Earth if you take the time to map the entire thing out in detail. It does step back a bit in Isaiah 63 to reexplain a few things, but it’s mostly linear.*
@@TheBiblicalRoots
And if the seventh day Sabbath is required of new covenant Christians, why would the NT say, "Do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink,
*This is not radically different from James in Acts 15 pushing for others to not trouble the Gentiles on his end also.
Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from among the Gentiles are turned to God:
Acts 15:19
Where Paul may be deviating a bit with the above concern from James is in the matter of what Gentiles are eating and drinking. Gentiles were not supposed to b eating things which were strangled and blood according to verse 20.
But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood.
Acts 15:20
Now, some Christians suggest Paul is usurping the judgment of James here from the Jerusalem Council and anything goes. And while I am not a huge fan of Paul, I don’t tend to think that was paul’s intention here, but he might have gone slightly over the mark. It’s difficult to say. This idea of polutions of idols might also be a big deal here, because Revelation 2 warns against eating things sacrificed unto idols in christ’s letters to the third and fourth churches.
But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.
Revelation 2:14
Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.
Revelation 2:20
So, Christ doesn’t seem to quite heed paul’s teaching here. He is clearly judging two of the churches in the Roman province of Asia concerning eating things sacrificed unto Idols. But, this could be because Christ is trying to set a stronger limit to what people could eat than is covered in Acts 15 and Colossians 2:16-17. As Christ he has the authority to do that. And it wouldn’t be the first time he corrected one of his followers either. Just see when Christ rebukes and corrects Peter in Matthew 16, suggesting that even Christ’s closest followers didn’t always carry the right perspective and needed a little help from the master to get their head screwed on straight from time to time.*
You continue: or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day.
These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ" (Col. 2:16-17).
*Okay, if what paul is talking about is a shadow of things to come, this eliminates any pagan practices like Christmas, easter and other pagan holidays. Because, while many Christians try to use this verse to justify mingling paganism and Christianity together into one Babylonian style soup which becomes a problem later in Revelation 18:4, none of the nonbiblical holy days and celebrations carry prophetic meaning that could be construed as a “shadow of things to come”. The above suggests Paul was aware of the future prophecies concerning the restoration of the feasts, Sabbaths and New Moons in Isaiah 66:22-23, Ezekiel 44-46, Zechariah 14 and so on. With thatin mind, let us consider that today not many people around the globe observe Sabbaths and the Levitical feasts and New Moon observances. But, n the future, these observances will be a globally and far more universally practiced set of ideas-especially if all flesh in Isaiah 66:22-23 will come to worship god each Sabbath and New Moon. To behold the entire globe doing that would make the relatively few humans celebrating these holy days today seem like a shadow of what is coming when God’s law goes forth from Zion in Isaiah 2:1-5 and Micah 4:1-5, and God stops tolerating his people and even other nations trampling on his law. In fact, I rather like the way the prophet Zechariah portrays what is coming.
Thus saith the LORD of hosts; In those days it shall come to pass, that ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations, even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you: for we have heard that God is with you.
Zechariah 8:23
If you read Zechariah 8 here in light of Isaiah 2:1-5 it makes a lot of sense what is transpiring here. The Gentile nations are going to be begging the Jews to let them join in on all the blessings that are coming when god restores his law, Jerusalem, his temple and so on. So, it is not surprising to me at all why more and more Jews are accepting Yeshua as their Messiah and more and more Christians are returning to the law and trying to gain perspective by asking Jews to help them understand Hebrew and the details of torah law. I have a brother heavily involved in the work of uniting Jewish groups with Christian Sabbatarians and feast keepers. It’s really quite extraordinary to watch it all unfold. I honestly never thought I would live long enough to see this transition pulling the two houses of Israel and Christianity (Judah) back together. I realized the whole point of separating the Northern and Southern kingdoms of Israel was to prefigure the separation of Isreal and Christianity in type back at the cross, but actually seeing the two sticks starting to be joined back together in Ezekiel 37 is beyond my wildest expectations.
Messiah said that the priests desecrated the Sabbath, you said that he said they profaned it. He did not say that
Matt 12:5 ESV "Or have you not read in the Law how on the Sabbath the priests in the temple PROFANE the Sabbath and are guiltless?"
Matt 12:5 KJV "Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple PROFANE the sabbath, and are blameless"
Perhaps you are using a different translation?
@@dancingzolins6782
Ok, different English words are used in various English translations. What point are you trying to make?
@@vernmiroth1626 Here's your original comment directed to R. L. Solberg: "Messiah said that the priests desecrated the Sabbath, you said that he said they profaned it. He did not say that" Actually, Messiah DID say they PROFANED it, and I provided two Scripture references. That was my point. What was your point? Perhaps I misunderstood your original comment?
@@dancingzolins6782 no you understood my original point, upon checking a greater variety of translations, I do see a great variety in words they chose to use here
I liked to listen to how you present the beauty of keeping a Sabbath. But by the very meaning of the name of the day if I were reading it as a Basic instruction before leaving earth I would say God meant for me to observe the 7 th day. And olam does mean forever or for a long time. So it looks like it’s either reestablished in the world to come or still standing Isaiah 66. It seems consistent with what we know about the nature of God, ( a never changing God) to believe it’s still standing. I believe that for such an important commandment as this one is in the first half of our book to change it would also require two witnesses to establish it from the Torah or prophets. Where are my two witnesses? I don’t believe keeping Sabbath or any of the other commandment can save us now nor could it ever. But I believe the Bible tells us that it shows God that we love him. He said, “If you love me you will keep my commandments.” That said, if we have no regard for what he has asked us to do it might be a strong indicator that we don’t really love him. I do like to listen to you. You seem very respectful and kind. And it helps me think about things I had not previously considered.
So, Christ says it was lawful to do good on the Sabbath, but he never said it was lawful to work on the Sabbath in terms of doing hard labor such as mowing lawns and other manual labor, unless it was expressly allowed under the law, such as the practice of circumcising a child when another law requiring the circumcision to occur on the eighth day meant the circumcision needed to take place on the Sabbath. This suggests that Christ knows that it is okay to transgress the law in cases where the law itself is forcing a person into that situation, because again, that is a transgression that is not a cin, because the person is not trying to rebel against god in attempting to satisfy the demands of the law. This gives rise to the realization that while all sins are transgressions of the law, the fallasy of the converse logic does not apply. Consequently, not all transgressions of the law are necessarily sins. And Christ gives more than one example of where that is the case in Matthew 12: the priests profaning the Sabbath but held guiltless for doing so and David eating the shewbread that was unlawful for him to eat, but held blameless anyway, because his situation obviously warranted the transgression. The implications in Matthew 12 being that there is a vast difference between wilful sin rebellion leading to a transgression of the law, versus being cornered into transgressing the law, for example. As an intelligent judge who can read the heart of an individual, god can easily discern the difference. And if what you hope is doing good on Sabbath is not truly doing good in god’s eyes, then you might find yourself on the receiving end of this passage.
Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to you an holy day, a sabbath of rest to the LORD: whosoever doeth work therein shall be put to death.
Exodus 35:2
Now, people will inevitably say, “But, we aren’t following Torah in that people are not being put to death for not keeping the Sabbath.” God has a perfectly outlined plan to remedy that problem too in Isaiah 24:1-6. When the curse that comes to devour the earth for the harm man is doing to God’s law hits, there will be no mistaking just how fatal the decision to harm God’s law by folks has been. Because God will just let the curse that devours the earth burn the inhabitants of earth until there are few men left as Isaiah has prophesied. I assure you, God has left no stone unturned in support of his law here. Read it for yourself if you do not believe me. Do you really think god is joking around here? I challenge anyone to tell me when this prophecy came to pass in the past, because it is coming sooner than you might think.
Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof.
And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury to him.
The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for the LORD hath spoken this word.
The earth mourneth and fadeth away, the world languisheth and fadeth away, the haughty people of the earth do languish.
The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant.
Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.
Isaiah 24:1-6
Of course, it might bother God that people today are intentionally going out of their way to look for excuses or blatantly violating his Sabbath, spitting in the face of his authority every step of the way, or intentionally violating other laws for that matter,which puts them at risk in the above passage, but God is not beyond recognizing that everyone struggles with sin to one degree or another. And that is why God created repentance, giving us the chance to right our wrongs and bring ourselves back in line with the wil of God and his law in such matters. But, it would be a good idea to repent and turn back to God’s Sabbath before the curse that devours the earth hits in Isaiah 24:5-6.
"Do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ." (Col. 2:16-17)

*Since I already answered this passage in another of your comments, I will trust you have access to that response in your feed. It’s your next passage, however, that is curious.*
"One person esteems one day as better than another, while another esteems all days alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind." (Rom 14:5)
*All this verse tells us is factually how people are. It is true one person will esteem one day as better than another, and another person will esteem all days alike. But, there is a third option that Paul fails tomention here. god esteems that his people will remember to keep the Sabbath holy. He speaks it with his own mouth in Exodus 20:1-11, and Christ esteems that man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God in Matthew 4:4. And some humans esteem that God and Christ’s advice simply isn’t for them, and they do arbitrarily decide to go their own way. And God in Isaiah 8:20 esteems that those people have no light in them when they speak contrary to his law and testimony. Later God esteems in Isaiah 24:5-6 a suitable outcome for those who keep disregarding and abusing his law: he will send the curse that devours the earth, burns its inhabitants and leaves few men left to tell the tale. This might be why Christ esteems that broad is the way to destruction, and few there be who find the gate to life in Matthew 7. If few find it, then this should tell us the true path Christ expects us to follow is not the popular view held within Christianity, but a much less popular option. Christ does show us in Revelation 22:12-14 that he esteems commandment keepers will enter through the gates into his holy city and be granted right to the tree of life.Seeing that was Christ’s last message after the cross in the Bible, it might not be a smart idea to abandon any of the commandments of God, because in verse 15 everyone else is stuck outside the holy city with zero access to the tree of life-telling us who took the broad path to destruction and didn’t find the gate leading in like those in verse 14.
@@TheBiblicalRoots
After looking at all the biblical data that you presented in both of the videos and your conclusion at the end, I'm still of the mindset that resting for a day is contradictory. After all, Jesus said that both he and his Father are continuing to work, even on the Sabbath (Eph 5:1 says, "imitate God"...). My question, I guess, would be that if I am led to see the Sabbath or resting for a day as "out of bounds", and so do not even think about it at all, is this evidence to you that I am not saved or a Christian? By the way, I do not see your desire to rest as you described as evidence at all that you are saved or a Christian (and so of course I don't see my own ways in that light either).
Hi, Greg! No, I don't see anyone's position on a day of rest as evidence of their salvation. I think the best response to your question comes from the apostle Paul: "Do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ," (Col. 2:16-17)

If I may, the way I look at it is the following: the Shabbat given to the Israelites could also be seen as a day to rest physically, as they had been in Egypt as slaves for a long time. We see today that productivity goes up the more rested physically and mentally workers are. The way the fields were rested every 7 years is actually something incredible as it allows for crops to yield better harvests and not completely drain nutrients from the soil. All of these things are secondary matters of course, but they provide us with insight into God's care for our physical and mental well being. I do not think it is mandatory to rest, but it sure is a smart idea to set aside a day to rest physically and mentally. It just so happens that it is also convenient to do so on the day I worship with my wife and fellow Christians on Sunday at my local Reformed Baptist Church. My wife and I will usually go out for a meal at new restaurant (we have a list of new places and look forward to check them off our list, we are big foodies), and then after lunch spend time in nature (we both love the outdoors and during the work week find it impossible to partake in it) and maybe meet up with friends/family at the end of the day. Depending on our mood we might also study the Bible together or discuss theological questions raised from Sunday school or the Sermon. It is truly a blessing to live this way, and it completely energises me for work the next day on Monday morning! Hope my personal view of the Lord's Day might shed some light on a perspective that shows it as being a blessing and not a requirement! God bless
@@coachdanferreira - that’s cool, no judgment here from me either way. Imagine if someone told you that they sacrifice 2 lambs for Passover and spread the blood over their front door in commemoration. I would see that as completely unnecessary in the same exact ways as I see resting (on purpose to commemorate the Sabbath) as unnecessary (archaic, obsolete, out of date). Etc.
@@babylonsfall7For a bit of context, I am a former Seventh-Day Adventist. And oh yes, on purpose to commemorate the Shabbat for the reasons stipulated in the OT I do also find archaic and outdated. The law, including the 4th commandment, was just a teacher until Christ came. That command is just a shadow of the substance. I do not rest trying to follow the constraints written in the 4th commandment and expanded in all the other Shabbat laws. Rather, I find God's advice to rest at least one day per week to be quite useful in my life and I apply the principle of resting even though I don't agree with the ritualistic part of it. And the reality is I don't cease from work on that day as would an SDA or Torahist. I still go eat out, which is usually seen as a big no-no. And if for some reason I do have work to do I do not refrain from it as the commandment would require I do. I rest because I have the opportunity to do so and see the benefits of switching off from daily life. It is not a requirement, it is a privilege. I can understand how someone would feel inclined to do keep the ritual, but personally I don't agree with it for the same reason sacrificing the lambs is completely unnecessary, because those things were completed in Christ. And the reason I worship on Sunday is merely because I want to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus and what He has accomplished in me, making me a new creature in Him because, as Paul says, if Christ had not resurrected it would have all been useless and meaningless. It's basically a weekly day to get together and celebrate that, but it's not necessarily a day that is observed in the same way as Shabbat in the OT, at least for me.
@@coachdanferreira - Sounds great to me; We sleep every night which is rest as well and technically most of the working world is off on Saturday and Sunday. So it's all sort of moot and a non-issue for me for many reasons. Personally I would never take a job that had Saturday or Sunday workdays unless there was nothing else, loosely based on the Sabbath laws and the desire to attend church on Sunday. But that is the extent of my current conviction.

Read the FULL new covenant prophecies.. Ezekiel and Jeremiah.
Then tell me one part of the new covenant that has taken place since we are under the new covenant as you say ?
But before you answer that think about this, and Matthew Jesus says out of his own mouth, giving a “judgment day” prophecy says he’s gonna tell a lot of people, God-fearing people people that perform miracles, save lives, gave prophecies all in his name… so these people know about Grace and Faith, but at the end he told them to depart from me you who practice lawlessness… lawlessness means without law.
That means they were sinning and under the new covenant that we are supposedly under, won’t he remember our sins no more ?
The new covenant is coming, but your timing is off!
Luke 19:21-44 fulfilled to the letter. The covenant was first announced by Christ and ratified upon His death; Heb. 2:1-4; 9:15; 9:16-18. I mean, unless you just deny the texts and make up your own rules the enactment of the covenant at the cross is inescapable.
Because they are judged by their deeds they are lawless, just as every man is, just as you are absent the pardon of justification through faith alone. Your emphasis is misplaced. Rather it should be; _" and in thy name done many wonderful works?"_ They are without faith because of their confidence in the flesh and boastful works. I'm paraphrasing here in hopes that you are without need of citation.
"...they were sinning and under the new covenant that we are supposedly under, won’t he remember our sins no more ?" They were not under the new covenant since they did not believe. _"“He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. "_ Instead they attempted to climb the wall rather than enter through the sheep gate. They entered the wedding feast via the back door rather than the front where the doorman would have dressed them in the garment of faith. More paraphrasing, from the Lord's parables. Without the covering of imputed righteousness you are guilty, and your works are worthless.
"The new covenant is coming, but your timing is off!" _"For this reason Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance-now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant."_ Then you will not receive the eternal inheritance since you can not be party to a covenant which does not exist.
@@jacobsilverberg1329 "I mean, unless you just deny the texts and make up your own rules the enactment of the covenant at the cross is inescapable. "
This is not my stance at all, but rather the opposite. I read about the N.C and the dots don't connect...
Do I believe in Christ blood shed for the N.C? ABSOLUTELY, But are all aspects of the N.C witnessed among us?
NO, one perc. of the N.C is no need for teaching, yet we're commenting on a video of someone trying to teach others and we are doing the same as we converse...
Another, the laws will be in our hearts... how are the laws in our hearts, we have the power of the spirit, and we still sin? how is this better than the O.C?
People will obey In the N.C not because they are supposed to obey but because they naturally want to obey. Obedience will become habitual and second-nature.
Like I said Christ shed his blood for the N.C but the promise of the N.C has not been fully realized in us. We continue to wrestle with our old sinful hearts. We still need our teachers and preachers.
@@virtualwavs3237 Sorry if I misunderstood you. But I'm still not fully understanding. "People will obey In the N.C not because they are supposed to obey but because they naturally want to obey. Obedience will become habitual and second-nature." Are you referring to the fulfillment of the promise, the resurrection to life, or the transformation into the incorruptible at the Advent? you mean like Ephesians 1:13,14:
_"And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession-to the praise of his glory."_
You enter a contract in expectation of its fulfillment, but you can not qualify for redemption unless you first enter into the agreement. A down payment has been made but the house is never owned until final payment. You remain corruptible, or in corruption until the last trumpet, the day of redemption.
_"in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality. When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.”_
You will be changed, transformed to immortality. Then the desire to sin will have been filtered out of the corrupted DNA. It is impossible to escape sin without being unlocked from its bond by God and that only happens at the last day. But this is the contract's completion and fulfillment, not its initiation..
@@virtualwavs3237 I realized that I didn’t address your objection - Jer. 32:32-34; Heb. 10:16. You expect that there should be obedience under the covenant. Jeremiah states that the old will not be like the new. That proves that the new is not a copy of the old under different title, as the Adventists teach. It is different in many ways, chiefly; the only command necessary for salvation is to believe. Romans 1:5; 16:26, obedience is belief. The same is also stated at Acts 6:7; 2 Thes. 1:8. John 3:36; 6:28, 29, 40 the work and will of the Father is to believe on the Son. That is the work of obedience and command of life. It is not obedience to the Law of Moses or even the prohibitions of the NC.
_"But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report? So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God."_ Obedience is synonymous with belief.
@@jacobsilverberg1329ok, I see your stance, I want to make sure I give an adequate answer... good points but if all you needed was to believe everyone would make it into the kingdom but “narrow is the path, only few find it”
What if one believes but loves to drink… Will a drunkard inherit the kingdom?
I agree 1000% with the belief in Jesus part, obviously haha but you still love(verb) the Lord right?, Even demons believe.
Rev 14:12 KJV - Here is the patience of the saints; here are those who keep the commandments (with an S )of God and the faith of Jesus.
Jesus (our never changing Lord) the one who will judge us also taught to follow the commands.
Matt. 36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”
37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
So yes belief is 1000% required for salvation it’s the 1st step, without it you can’t receive salvation or grace to repent!… but true belief/love = obedience to all of Gods word, not just parts “here” and parts “there”
Matthew 5v17,18 19, whosoever therefore shall break one of least Commandments, and he shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do them, the same shall be called Great in the kingdom of heaven. ( Sounds like you're teaching Elohim's people not to obey His Instructions). O' we're not the law we can do what we like.20. Roman 6v1-1John 3v4. Get the doggy bag out.
Hi, Karl! I teach and believe that obedience to God is of utmost importance for believers. We are to submit to His authority over our lives. Jesus said, “If you love me, you will keep my commandments” (John 14:15). And I’m sure you would agree that not every command God has given applies to every person at all times. Some only apply to certain people (i.e., men, women, parents, Levitical priests) or at certain times (i.e., building an ark, gathering manna, while in exile). And I’m sure you would also agree that we are each only expected to keep the commands of God that apply to us. The NT expressly teaches that many of the commands given under the Old Covenant Law do not apply to Christians today. (ex. Repeated blood sacrifices for sin are no longer required (Heb 10:18).) We still serve God and obey His commands, “But now we are released from the law, having died with Christ to that which held us captive, so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit and not in the old way of the written code” (Rom 7:6). “If you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law: (Gal. 5:18)..

The part I don't understand is your insistence on usage of the word "required" .
Shouldn't a faithful servant have a desire to do anything that is even remotely pleasing to his master?
Instead, in your view, unless it is required, you refuse to teach it as beneficial. Do you take this same attitude to your earthly employer? Do you only do the very minimum that will keep you from getting terminated? Pretty bad employee
24:22
What would come to a mind of a first century y Jew when reading Paul's discussion in Romans 14? Probably the Phariseeical tradition of having two different fast days a week and which days those should fall on. Context matters
Applying the Sabbath to Romans 14 is almost as bad exegetically as your insistence that Rev 1:10 refers to the first day of the week
Messiah Was made LORD of Thy Sabbaths, Now for HIS first Decree he makes the Sabbaths obsolete?????
I think Not !
YOUR very own Words ROB, Messiah taught that it was lawful, to do good, and Protect Life!
Blind and def ness Keeps you from acknowledging THE SABBATHS
Messiah taught the Sabbath plain and simple.
Read Hebrews 4 and get back to us. His rest is not found in a day and that generation of Israel that wasn’t permitted to enter into that rest kept sabbath but wasn’t permitted to enter into his rest. What is his rest? The rest of the chapter tells you, rest for your soul. The disobedience you display is the same that that generation of Israel had, no faith. Hebrews 4 tells us a sabbath rest remains it doesn’t say a sabbath “day” rest remains. Our rest is in the finished works of Christ, atonement for your sin and the assurance for your soul of eternal life.

Remez + reverse Synonyms is what you are Doing, Not the Scriptures them selves, twisting to your doing.
Rob 2 errors; "Works of the law" are transgressions not law keeping; and"imputation" is not impartation or giving to another, but recognition of already having it.
Hi, Simon. What makes you think the phrase "works of the law" refers to transgressions or sin? That definition sure seems to make nonsense out of a lot of verses. It makes it sound like there were all kinds of people who thought that they were made right with God by sinning. For example,
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- not by *_sinning,_* so that no one can boast. (Eph 2:8-9)
Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded. Because of what law? The law that requires *_sin?_* No, because of the law that requires faith. (Rom. 3:27)
"We know that a person is not justified by *_sinning,_* but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by *_sinning,_* because by the *_sinning,_* no one will be justified. (Gal. 2:16)
I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit by *_sinning,_* or by believing what you heard? (Gal. 3:2)
Therefore no one will be declared righteous in God’s sight by *_sinning;_* rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin. (Rom. 3:20)
For all who rely on *_sinning_* are under a curse, as it is written: “Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.” (Gal. 3:10)
RLS
@@TheBiblicalRoots You are right. Many did think they were justified even when the sinned, as many do now, but Paul says no man is justified by sin. So easy to understand as a concept that needed to be defined in the gospel of salvation, so Paul does in Romans 3:20 but not as your translation reads. Paul when he was Saul thought he was atoned for his sins yearly, but like the Pharisees he did not realise he was under the curse of death as Deuteronomy 30.
Even those reading Romans 3:20 KJV misread this verse, in the Greek "knowledge" does not read as 'gnosis', but 'epognosis' which is experiential knowledge or imputation of sin.
Your translation of Galatians 3:10 seems OK as it agrees that sinning is not keeping the law and brings the curse or condemnation of sin, and sin is judicial condemnation.
My #1 Ytube video in the series 'Myths in so-called Christianity' has a full explanation, maybe you get one of your students to watch it if you cannot.
Misreading Romans 3:20 I believe has mislead 'Christianity' to believe the old covenant was works salvation, and the new is salvation by grace therefore denying the need of good works for salvation, and the truth is good works are the only proof of faith for grace.
You are embarrassing yourself. Sit down and shut up and listen. You might learn something. You are babbling nonsense

False prophet
Blessings Brother. I enjoyed this video. I did not agree completely with part 1 even though you were only giving facts, it was more because I an not sure about some facts because it was before the Lord came and Sabbath really comes alive in the bible when the Lord kept the sabbath and it is for every man and child and strangers and animals because the command itself doesn't say, Jew. moral laws are for all people no matter their race. Also, even the Pharaoh knew about rest in Exodus when Moses asked to let his people worship God in the wilderness. Sabbath was made a sign between God and us all. the mark of the beast is for those who break that commandment and it's not just Jews but Every human being in the last days. God bless you.
You are interfusing Ellen White with the Bible. Revelation 13 provides the mandate as to when the mark of the Beast will be offered - and received - and it has nothing to do with the Sabbath, or “false Sabbath”. This is an Ellen White fiction. Mrs White is clearly in contradiction to Biblical Truth.
@@Jaco3688 Sorry to bust your bubble but the bible says it is the desolation of abomination and you would know that if you studied the bible because I never studied Ellen's teachings.
Revelation mentions the Mark and the two beasts and because it is a prophecy it is actually Daniel and Joseph in Genesis who say in the bible that God is the interpreter of dreams, and the only way to understand the prophecies is to study the word of God with the Holy Spirit and discernment and a mentor who loves the word of God because we cannot do this on our own. The word of God the bible is where we find all the interpretations for who the beast is who the antichrist is what the mark is and the signs. Its like a trail of crumbs for me. in Matthew 24 the Lord mentions 15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) Then I had to study Daniel and found out that all throughout history, the bible prophesies in daniel were being fulfilled constantly. I studied Greek mythology and ancient civilisations before I even opened the bible and noticed Alexander the Great and Cleopatra were all in the bible and their stories showed to the chronology of events that Daniel had prophesied from the Babylonian empire that I didn't know much about except a Sumerian false religion. then the dark ages I knew had something to do with That same region of the world and as it turns out, Alexander did not have an heir so he gave his empire to his 4 generals the 4 headed leopard in Daniel, and the battle went on until the General of Alex had created a pagan nation that was given to someone and passed down until constantine and then he gave his pagan church to the Papacy. who is the dragon with teeth of iron. Iron age is the roman empire. it a;ll fits and the church is a mother church and is mentioned to be the mother of harlots. and is said to be surrounded by seven hills and that is the Vatican. I know that may be hard for you to hear but if you love the truth, the truth will make you free. God bless

This is true olam does mean forever or for a long time. It seems pretty consistent with Isaiah 66:23. His law either is reestablished or is still standing during this period of time. Understanding it from the perspective of still standing, is in keeping with our perspective of a never changing God.
I did enjoy the beauty in which you expressed how our attitude and perspective should be before our King. He is great and greatly to be praised! Blessed be His name! I can’t wait to get in a world where everything is about His truth . I can’t imagine anyone feeling differently in this day and time where there seems to be so precious little of it. We will understand it then, right!!!!
@@lesliemagby8445
What I have seen is Jesus spoke against the the religious leaders of the day adding to the law to make it a burden to keep .
Now religious leaders of today take away from the law .
With both they are defiling the law of GOD .
