If you find your burden is too heavy, examine what you are carrying and see if it's from God or from the world.
God's burdens are light and good. They all have a purpose and God reveals to us our tasks in this world.
If people want to twist what I say to promote their own agenda, it is their choice.
How can you expect anything less? Even Satan quoted the Bible in his attempts to lead Jesus astray.
*****
Matt. 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

There is only One True Gospel and that is Faith in Jesus saves.
Faith in your own works, faith in the Old covenant....all will lead to hell fire.
We are told there are two covenants, two people....the illegelimate children of Hagar who are slaves and the blessed heirs in Christ born of our mother the Heavenly Jerusalem.
Some people want to enslave others to the Old Covenant.
I want to talk to people who know and understand what it means to be born again, have circumcised hearts, be lead by the Holy spirit who tells them they are children of God under the New Covenant ratified by Jesus death, burial, resurrection and ascension into Heaven.
I want to discuss what the Bible tells us is God's Sabbath and not be side tracked by false accusations.
Shouldn't it be about All the Word's of Christ. For instance, Christ said:
Jer. 31:
33 But this
shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD,
I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for
I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.
But prior to this the job of Administering God's Word belonged to the Levites as Jesus told us.
2 Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat:
3 All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe,
that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.
And the way sin's were forgiven is by ceremonial, sacrificial "Works of the Law" perform specifically by the Levitical Priesthood.
Heb. 9:
6 Now when these things were thus ordained,
the priests went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service
of God.
7 But into the second
went the
high priest alone once every year,
not without blood, which he offered
for himself, and
for the errors of the people:
So Christ is saying there will come a time when we don't go to the Levite Priests to hear the Word of God, He will write the Words on our heart.
And Christ is also saying there will come a time when we don't take animal offerings to the Levite to perform "works" to absolve us of our sins, but He with Him own Blood, once and for all, with cleanse our sins.
For this to happen, there must be a change in the Law, YES?
Heb. 11:11 If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (
for under it the people received the law,) what further need
was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?
12 For the
priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a
change also of the law.
So this agrees with the Christ so far, yes. Jesus said there will come a time when the Priesthood will change. This change He Called a "New Covenant".
So we know Jesus, not Levites, are our High Priest now, in the New Covenant.
But what is the "Change in the Law"?
Heb. 7:
13 For he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth
to another tribe, of which no man gave attendance at the altar.
14 For
it is evident that
our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe
Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.
Jesus wasn't a Levite, so the Priesthood was changed to allow a man from Judah, and not from Levi, to take over the High Priesthood position.
So the Bible teaches the New Covenant deals with two changes.
#1. How the God's Instructions are administered.
#2. How sins are forgiven.
You make the comment,
"Some people want to enslave others to the Old Covenant."
I know what Jesus said the New Covenant is, I haven't witnessed any one who wants to go back to the Levitical Priesthood. In Paul's time Yes, but not in our time. I am having difficulty understanding what you preach is the New Covenant.
Am I missing something?
