True-believer Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 What is now the Sabbath? –Jesus Christ is our Sabbath Rest forever!!! Matthew 27:50-51 Jesus, when He had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up His ghost. And, behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom. This is representing the permanent opening of God’s presence to man and man’s direct access to God through the atoning death of Jesus Christ. Exodus 31:17 The Sabbath is a sign between the children of Israel and God forever. Is the Sabbath only once a week on the seventh day now? No. What is the Sabbath now since we have direct access to God through Christ death upon the Cross? Hebrews 4 speaks of the heavenly rest we now have in Jesus saying in verse seven that “Today” meaning anyday/everyday we are experiencing the fullness of Christ’s Heavenly Rest when we accept Him into our lifes as Lord and Savior. Verse sixteen tells us to come boldly to the throne of Grace so we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need. Matthew 11:28-30 Jesus invites us to come unto Him and to rest in Him all the time. Since the curtain tore in two, the Sabbath is no longer once a week, but instead it is a continual everyday rest in Christ, tabernacling with each other for all time. Luke 1:33 And He shall reign over the house of Jacob forever; and of His Kingdom there shall be no end. Luke 17:20-21 The Kingdom of God is within you… Matthew 12:28 and Luke 11:20—The Kingdom of God has come upon you.. Romans 14:17 For the Kingdom of God is not food and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. Quote Luke 4:19To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
True-believer Posted March 17, 2009 Author Posted March 17, 2009 I love you all my brothers and sisters and I can't wait to see you all face to face in heaven at Christ's Return. Quote Luke 4:19To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
Georgie09 Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 Kingdom of God is living your life in the service of mankind here now and always. Kingdom of God is not the bank balance one has, the number of houses one has or the number of cars one owns, its not the frequency,the places, the people that invite you for dinners, but how much can one go out of the way to bring a smile in others life.

Moderators Gerr Posted March 26, 2009 Moderators Posted March 26, 2009 So God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it God rested from all his work that he had done in creation. The Holy Bible : English standard version. 2001 (Ge 2:3). Wheaton: Standard Bible Society. You quoted a number of texts. None of them tells me there is now an exceptional blessing or that the other days had been made HOLY!!! Quote

TB, by saying this you are coming close to destroying the sanctity of the 7th day Sabbath as it is laid out in the 10 commandments. There is a spiritual resting in Jesus, true, but it does not negate what is written in God's law. It's sounding to me like those folks of your mom's are getting to you. Is that true? Quote Isaiah 32:17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.
