The SDA has lots of good things to share. Going past 1844 we are still in a judgment and cleansing era / age. We are two generations til a new era. What 'day' are we in, in this 1,000 year day schema? Let our rest be in and from the Lord Jesus' call to repent and be born from above. There is so much to share that the explanation of Sabbath cannot become a fixation. Neither the focus on the prophetic at the expense of the gospel. The gospel is still to be preached on the Sabbath - being constant, in season and out.

Isaiah 66:23 is not in any way at all showing that ritual sabbath and new moon celebration observance will take place in the everafter.
if anything this is signifying exactly the opposite:
all men will come and bow before the Almighty - in opposition to the times of the temple and the sacrifices and the law of the old covenant with the ethnic Jew, when only Jews, and only ceremonially clean ones, could come to Him and bow before Him. in fact: only the high priest could actually come before Him into His presence, and only once per year after very strict ceremonially purification.
and all men will come before Him every day - not as it was under the old covenant of shadows, just on certain days, during certain feasts and for certain times. for all times: from one new moon to another, from the first of the month to the first of the next month. sunday through saturday and the next week too, forever around the throne.
this scripture says almost exactly the opposite of what you are trying to teach that it says.
there will be no night there - so just how do you think you are going to reckon days, to count to a seventh one, after forever?
if there is no more Jew nor Greek nor male nor female in Christ, do you really think there is going to be a Jewish quarter in the holy city that comes down from heaven?? we are that holy city!!

From one New Moon to another and from one Sabbath to another, all mankind will come and bow down before me," says the LORD.

Familial love is not a part of the scripture because in all things we want to avoid a familiar spirit. Jesus tells us our enemies will be of our houseold. He tells us ...
Jesus said to let the dead ( in spirit) bury the (physically) dead.
The idea, principle or precept is that our first love is to be to the gospel. In this way our attention and sometimes fixation with the familiar and worldly will be shifted from a few persons or things, to all persons and things. This is Holistic in the call to be Holy.
Why get caught up with a mother in law, when there are so many women to minister to that they have all sold out to a preacher or TV or Media or ffootbaal or some other worldly head. As has been said here, there are many, many women on this site who take their advice and guidance from at least five other men on this site ...

Do not hate anyone. Do not uproot anything. Do not harbor bitterness. Do not avenge. Do not rain fire or condemn antone
love one another and leave all men to GOD who justifies
Do not rise above the seat of GOD's judgement and take matters into your own hands if it goes against the TRUTH and is a misrepresentation of THE SPRIT who we claim to belong to

whoever finds a wife finds a good thing?
children are an heritage from the Lord?
whoever curses his father and mother must be put to death?

y'all do know those things are in the scripture, right?
[HR][/HR][HR][/HR]
it is one thing to put the the Lord above ones own flesh and blood - but another to forsake them altogether and refuse to love and honor them. when Christ said whoever does not hate his father and mother is not worthy to follow Him, did He mean we should detest our kin and treat them with contempt? or did He mean that we must love God first, before all else?
[HR][/HR][HR][/HR]
in fact - we must love Him with our whole heart and mind and strength.
the man who says "i will give my wife all my love" loves her less than the man who gives all his love to God.
wait what how? why?
because submitting ourselves fully to God does not drain us, but instead fills us with a love that overflows from us and pours out, being expressed to all others. a love that is not of ourselves, but from God - a greater love than any human can show alone.

I'm not SDA but was replying to an earlier SDA post. As to familial love, the essence of the post is about our first love - the gospel. The keywords about FOCUS and FIXATION distinguish between a proper attending to the physical family and the larger duty to the church family. The business of manipulating and controlling families via the woman is left to the head shrinks like James Dobson, the evangelicals like Tony Perkins, the preachers and the five guys on the internet whom wives seek to get guidance from. The gospel first as a larger family of man, the gospel again - applied to one aspect of the church - the individual family. So it is a matter of context and priority, not the exclusion of one teaching over another.
No it's getting worse, I had to leave my family. Two whole families, there is something wrong with the family unit, that's become obvious.
It's easier to relate to the outcasts and streetys, for some reason they crave a relationship that they couldn't get from home.
It's why they are in their situation, this concept of family love they grow up with is false.
