Hebrews 4:9-10 KJV
plainly states that it's the
duty of the people of God to keep the Sabbath day, the reason being that the man who has entered into Jesus' rest is to cease from his own works
as God did from His. Of what kind of rest did God partake on the 7th day? Rest from
literal work.
No, sir, it is you who needs to stop this futile attempt to make other verses take the edge off
1 John 2:3-4 KJV when those verses do no such thing, and accept the truth that is contained in them as they are written: that the man who claims to "
love love love" Jesus but refuses to stop driving fresh iniquitous nails into His hands and feet is a liar who will split hell wide open because he doesn't know the first thing about Him or the salvation He offers.
Of course Galatians 3 is in condemnation of salvation by works,
and not works altogether as you claim, because this same Paul says "we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus
unto good works..." How asinine of Paul it would be to condemn works in his letter to the church in Galatia
-- as you claim -- and then turn around and tell the Ephesus church that good works are foreordained.
There you antinomianists go again, building straw man arguments by putting false ideas into the mouths of your opposition because you have no Scriptural footing upon which to stand. We Bible Christians believe to be eternally true what Jesus and Paul said when He said in
Luke 17:10 KJV that doing all our Lord says to do is "unprofitable", and what Paul said in
Romans 8:7 KJV that it's impossible for the carnal mind is not subject to the law of God
even if it wanted to be.
It's time to put away your rebellion and keep the commandments Jesus spoke with His own voice and wrote with His own finger in stone, because if you hate the idea of keeping them now, what makes you think you'll be excited to keep them for all eternity with the rest of us who believe "every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God"???
