AuphirahQueen, do you realize that by setting up a new handle, you are sinning? You are being deceptive in trying to avoid your ban.


GOD'S WORD® Translation
Don't forget to show hospitality to believers you don't know. By doing this some believers have shown hospitality to angels without being aware of it.

Aren't you the guy from the chatroom who claims Apostolic authority and that you have seen the risen Christ? Someone who would claim such a thing has no powers of persuasion with me.
I am going on pure scripture you argue fight God because of man made tradition teachings but genesis teaches a lot you fail to see even the apostles knew this but in the end isaiah chapter 66 will be brought forth and the will look upon the car cases of men that transgresed the Lord and be ubhored at the worm that never dies

God never changed. His laws did. Galatians 3 is clear in that regard. The Old Covenant was only in effect until Christ's coming. To equate God with the Ten Commandments is blasphemous. God is total holiness and cannot be reduced to a list of rules.
Law of circumcision and sacrifice changed this came because of sin

The Sabbath was a sign between God and the nation of Israel. How could it be a sign of uniqueness if the Sabbath was being observed by others prior to Exodus? This is pretty basic. Think, man.
3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made. note

If someone claims they are an Apostle and has seen the risen Lord, pardon me if I don't find their assertions credible.

The Old Covenant was an agreement between God and the nation of Israel (Ex. 31:12-17).The Ten Commandments are a summary of the Old Covenant (Ex 31:18, 34:28; Deut 4:13, 9:9, 11).The Old Covenant is no longer in effect for anyone (2 Cor 3:4-18, Gal 3:17-25, Heb 8:13-9:4).The Sabbath, therefore, is not in effect for anyone (Gal 4:10, Rom 14:5-6, Col 2:16-17).Christians are under the New Covenant, which has higher demands and different commandments (Luke 22:20, Heb 9:15; Jn 13:34, 15:12, 17; Rom 13:10).The chief of those commandments is to love others as Christ loved us (Jn 13:34).
The Sabbath was a sign of the Old Covenant between God and Israel (Ex. 31:16-17).A sign is an identifying mark, and the Sabbath identified the nation of Israel as distinct from the other nations.Christians are not parties to the Old Covenant, which was between God and Israel.
1* First Christians are Hebrew! Jeshua was born Hebrew!

4* I am only an human but you and me and all are only BRANCHES of the TREE ... SO I must WARN all of you - Rom.11-36:

Q 1. Genesis 1 says that God rested on the Seventh Day. Doesn’t that imply continuity and that the Sabbath must be kept today?
A. Scripture records that God rested on the seventh day of creation. However, there is no evidence that any man kept the seventh day as a day of rest until the time of Moses (Exodus 16).
The Old Covenant was an agreement between God and the nation of Israel (Ex. 31:12-17). The Ten Commandments are a summary of the Old Covenant (Ex 31:18, 34:28; Deut 4:13, 9:9, 11). The Old Covenant is no longer in effect for anyone (2 Cor 3:4-18, Gal 3:17-25, Heb 8:13-9:4). The Sabbath, therefore, is not in effect for anyone (Gal 4:10, Rom 14:5-6, Col 2:16-17). Christians are under the New Covenant, which has higher demands and different commandments (Luke 22:20, Heb 9:15; Jn 13:34, 15:12, 17; Rom 13:10). The chief of those commandments is to love others as Christ loved us (Jn 13:34).
The Sabbath was a sign of the Old Covenant between God and Israel (Ex. 31:16-17). A sign is an identifying mark, and the Sabbath identified the nation of Israel as distinct from the other nations. Christians are not parties to the Old Covenant, which was between God and Israel.
There is no evidence for Sabbathkeeping amongst humans before Moses. The lack of evidence is glaring. Even if there was a command to observe the Sabbath in Genesis, this would not imply that Christians must observe the Sabbath. God commanded circumcision in Genesis but it is not required for Christians today (Genesis 17:9-14).

Q.Does something which is made holy stay holy perpetually?
A.In Genesis 2:3 , God made the Sabbath holy.


Holy objects, people and times have been set apart or sanctified by God for His purpose.


Sabbathkeepers often assert that the Sabbath remains holy, because it was set apart at creation.


Being set apart by God for His purpose doesn’t imply that the object stays holy forever, though.


For example, the ground around the burning bush that Moses encountered was called holy, but no one would assert that this ground remained holy (Ex. 3:5).Levites were once holy, but they no longer are (Num. 3:12).Israelite firstborn males and animals were holy, but they are no longer holy (Ex. 13:1-2).The jubilee year is no longer holy either (Lev. 25:12).


The Old Covenant was an agreement between God and the nation of Israel (Ex. 31:12-17).The Ten Commandments are a summary of the Old Covenant (Ex. 31:18, 34:28; Deut. 4:13, 9:9, 11).The Old Covenant is no longer in effect for anyone (2 Cor. 3:4-18, Gal. 3:17-25, Heb. 8:13-9:4).The Sabbath, therefore, is not in effect for anyone (Gal. 4:10, Rom. 14:5-6, Col. 2:16-17).Christians are under the New Covenant, which has higher demands and different commandments (Luke 22:20, Heb. 9:15; Jn. 13:34, 15:12, 17; Rom 13:10).The chief of those commandments is to love others as Christ loved us (Jn.13:34).


The Sabbath was a sign of the Old Covenant between God and Israel (Ex. 31:16-17).A sign is an identifying mark, and the Sabbath identified the nation of Israel as distinct from the other nations.Christians are not parties to the Old Covenant, which was between God and Israel.

God commanded circumcision in Genesis but it is not required for Christians today (Gen. 17:9-14).
So what you would suggest we have to do with that part of the Bible where Jeshua has said:Mat 5:18 "For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled."?

Q.Matt 5:17-19 states the following: “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished.Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.Doesn’t this imply that Sabbathkeeping is required?

A.Sabbathkeepers often use these verses as an assertion that Christians need to keep the Sabbath.

The context of the Scripture talks about far more than the Sabbath.The term “Law and Prophets” refers to the entire teaching of the Old Covenant and the prophets.The commands of the Old Covenant include about 615 commandments.

The Old Covenant was an agreement between God and the nation of Israel (Ex. 31:12-17).The Ten Commandments are a summary of the Old Covenant (Ex. 31:18, 34:28; Deut. 4:13, 9:9, 11).The Old Covenant is no longer in effect for anyone (2 Cor. 3:4-18, Gal. 3:17-25, Heb. 8:13-9:4).The Sabbath, therefore, is not in effect for anyone (Gal. 4:10, Rom. 14:5-6, Col. 2:16-17).Christians are under the New Covenant, which has higher demands and different commandments (Luke 22:20, Heb. 9:15; Jn. 13:34, 15:12, 17; Rom 13:10).The chief of those commandments is to love others as Christ loved us (Jn.13:34).

Assume the Old Covenant applies today (which it does not).In order to be consistent, the person who asserts these verses require Sabbathkeeping must also keep the rest of the Old Covenant, or he is using them disingenuously.He is not free to pick and choose which ones apply today.

Christ came to fulfill everything that the Old Testament said about him, including his death on behalf of those who place their faith in him as predicted in Isaiah 53.He came to live a perfect life of obedience to the Old Covenant on our behalf.As God, he was able to be sinless and to fulfill the entire law.If a person accepts Christ’s sacrifice in faith, his sins are placed on Christ, and the merits of his perfect life are given to the believer (2 Cor 5:21).That is how our righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees…we receive the imputed righteousness of Jesus Christ.
