There are denominations that believe that every time we sin we are condemned. If we fail to ask forgiveness then we are condemned to hell. They feel terrible about people dying in car accidents that might not have asked for forgiveness.
I totally disagree with them. A close friend goes to one of those churches.

Hi Heart.
The Pharisees believed the sabbath was a particular day of the week.
And they kept it as a tradition.
So Jesus not keeping their tradition offended them,
and, they thought, that gave them grounds to accuse Him.
But Jesus knows they are the feasts of the Lord,
which are to be proclaimed in their seasons.
Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto Me in the year.
Exodus 23:14
And I think you know this one, to explain why the Lord says days.
As in 6 days work, and in the seventh day rest.
But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing,
that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years,
and a thousand years as one day.
2 Peter 3:8
Now, I don't think that means we work for 6 thousand years, and then have 1 thousand year rest,
obviously.
But it is showing us that times and durations which the Lord sets are not fixed,
nor are they the same as our times.
So we have to use our intelligent discretion.
Have you tried to make a sabbath for Him?
If you had, then you know, one cannot do it in a day.
After two days will He revive us:
in the third day He will raise us up, and we shall live in His sight.
Hosea 6:2
And you haven't made the true sabbath before, as commanded in the law,
then your six days are surely up, and it is definitely time for you to have a rest.
Hope this answers it for it.

Jesus does say to keep the commandments there.
And His quick list leaves no doubt He is speaking of Moses' law.
Look at the same verse from Luke.
And Jesus said unto him,
Why callest thou Me good? none is good, save one, that is, God.
Thou knowest the commandments,
Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother.
Luke 18:19-20
You know the sabbath is a commandment.
But since Jesus didn't repeat the whole of the law here,
you are not doing the commandments which He didn't list,
in His off the cuff answer which He gives the rich man?
In this list in Luke, Jesus does not say "Love thy neighbour as thy self".
Are you going to leave that one off now, because Jesus didn't say it here?
How about, neither list contains "Love the Lord your God".
Do you not do that one too?
And how about this one then?
And he [the rich man] said, All these have I kept from my youth up.
Now when Jesus heard these things, He said unto him,
Yet lackest thou one thing:
sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven:
and come, follow Me.
Luke 18:21-22
So tell us truly, did you sell all that you had, and donate the money to the needy?
And follow Jesus? (to keep all the commandments of God)
Jesus popped that one in on the end of His list, didn't He?
I was blessed greatly when I did that commandment.
It is one of my favourites.
Bless Jesus

Thank you, Jaume.
Do you really believe God commanded us to stone people to death? With real stones?
To me, that is a pure carnal interpretation.
What about, Thou shalt not kill?
Because God commanded us to not kill, I had to ask Jesus what all the [seemingly] murderous commandments are about.
We have to stone the wicked to death.
Kill all the canaanites at Jericho.
So much killing and war.
Jesus said to me, cast out the devils.
I give power to kill them.
I now stone them with verses from Dueteronomy.
When we read eye for eye, it isn't a commandment.
Jesus said, if your eye is offended, pluck it out.
Not your eye, silly, your offence.
I believe God is just saying, if we do take someone's eye, we will lose ours.
Not if someone takes our eye, then we have to take theirs.
I see it relates to: If we live by the sword, we die by the sword.
And: What we sow, so shall we reap.
I don't mind saying, Karma.
He comes quickly.
He kills our devils.
I am applying them as we speak.
I am parting your meat offering which you have offered up to the priests of God (us).
Jesus did make you a priest unto God and the Father.
I just got on with doing as Jesus said.
Now I am in Israel.
Thank you.
Indeed you are blessing.
Now to share the Lord's bread, a small cake.
Deck thyself now with majesty and excellency;
and array thyself with glory and beauty.
Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath:
and behold every one that is proud, and abase him.
Look on every one that is proud, and bring him low;
and tread down the wicked in their place.
Hide them in the dust together;
and bind their faces in secret.
Then will I also confess unto thee
that thine own right hand can save thee.
Job 40:10-14
I chose this one, because I believe it relates to all the stoning and killing we have to do.
And this is all done in the kingdom of God, which is within,
and in the judgment, in the congregation.
As set out in the beginning of Deuteronomy chapter 12.
Get the names of their gods out of you.
Thank You Jesus

Thank you Jaume,
I like your posts, and I agree with this one here.
You are speaking about the Lord's circumcision of the heart, are you not.
If we keep this meaning in mind when reading St Paul, and he says "the circumcision"
then he speaking of us, and not those who are circumcised externally,
then that changes a lot of the interpretations we see being advertised here.
For we are the circumcision,
which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus,
and have no confidence in the flesh.
Philippians 3:3
And I know, the circumcision occurs in the sabbath.
The coming of Jesus happens in the sabbath.

Grace was here for the faithful even under the law, but few could find it.....in part this is due to our Father's plan and His wisdom for no man can fathom the wisdom of God. I do know Christ, Yeshua, did preach to those who were below during the interim of His crucifixion and His resurrection, and I do not pretend to understandimplicitely, but I do believe implicitely. God bless you and your understanding and wisdom always.......

The Feast Paul wanted to attend was the feast of Pentecost that today is called Whit Sunday. Paul will have celebrated Easter and Christmas as well.
For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, because he would not spend the time in Asia: for he hasted, if it were possible for him, to be at Jerusalem the day of Pentecost. (Act 20:16 KJV)
The Christian holiday of Pentecost, celebrated on the fiftieth day after Easter, commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles and other followers of Jesus Christ while they were in Jerusalem celebrating the Feast of Weeks, as described in the Acts of the Apostles (Acts 2:1–31).

And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight. (Act 20:7 KJV)
upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together — This, compared with 1Co_16:2, and other similar allusions, plainly indicates that the Christian observance of the day afterwards distinctly called “the Lord’s Day,” was already a fixed practice of the churches.

Most who believe God rest on their Sabbath, mine will always be the Seventh day.
Other than my Sabbath the Lord has provided me with more than I can accomplish alone, so I do not sit on my duff telling everyone how the One I try to be like is their rest and they are never "working."
Now the works He gives me overflow so greatly that there is plenty of works for everyone else to do, for they are receiving the same works.
It is a crying shame that the hyper-grace or grace only folks just don't get it...........
Our Father is working yet, therefore we must also work. When the work is finished we will all rest in eternal joy and thanksgiving with our King...........amen.
