That's not what scripture says. Scripture says that if you work at the law you are under the curse because you are on the hook for ALL of it.
Galatians 3:10
I'll let you in on a little secret.
There is no such thing as a law keeping Christian.
There are those who work at the law and fail. Because the law is not fulfilled by a persons carnal will and carnal strength.
And there are those who Rest in Christ.
I don't pick and choose laws.
I am dead to laws.
I am alive to Christ and His Holy Spirit.
It means working at it because your carnal understanding has told you that is what is right and good.
I don't think you understand what you have just said.
You get one or the other. Your work at the 10 commandments or Rest in Christ by Faith.
Faith in Christ DOES fulfill the law of Moses. Your carnal understanding and carnal work does not.
You are seeking to be obedient to your own understanding of which laws you think are most important.
That is not obedience.
I don't look to the law to try and keep any of it in my own understanding.
I look to Christ and He grows the fruit of obedience in me.
Any time I attempt to grow these fruit by my own understanding and strength I fail. Without the Lord Jesus Christ we can do nothing.
Coming to Him and receiving Rest should have shown us that.
Galatians 3:24-25
Galatians 3:10
For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.

Galatians 3:24-25
[SUP]24 [/SUP]Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
[SUP]25 [/SUP]But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.
Matthew 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
DO you see the parallels here? Do you see what Christ is telling us?

Shabbat does mean rest, but it does not stop there. It means peace. It means health. It means wealth or welfare, and it means much more.
To ask a person how he is one s0ays "Ma SHLOMCHA?" this addressing a man. And Mah shomech? to a woman
The wod shalom is there in one of its forms.
Now, what does this truly mean in relation to Christ giving us rest by His taching? Read the post after the post you have replied.
Heb 11:36 And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment:
Heb 11:37 They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented;
Heb 11:38 (Of whom the world was not worthy
they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.
All of the above brethren were at peace, I am certain, but it does not seem they were in eternal rest.
I would like all the people who thing obedience is not necessary according to how the law has been fufilled by our Lord, Jesus christ.
It is quite extraordinary that so many come into these forums saying obedience is being "under the law."
We obey after know Jesus Christ to show some gratitude.
Get off the high horse and walk on the dirt as do the rest of us.....

There is a brother in Christ for whom I feel compelled tto pray for his rest and wellbing. Why? He is working laying concrete after a long hiatus, and because heis out of shape he gets blisters and very tired. He also loves our Maker in Jesus Christ. I suppose this one also believes in error for you wh are resting unti Christ's return.
I also have a beautiful and wonderful, and very dear sister who is working very hard to help her married childre and herself and husband............she also has blisters and some tendon problemks. Now is this wonderful caring wife and mother failing in her belief?
I think not, and I believe her work for her family, just as her husband's and her adult children's, is work given her by the Father.
So you folks who have all that rest forever, keep telling them they should have it too, but I know them and I know they will work and never rest until Jesus returns.
By the way, do any of you most privileged folks remember how Jesus declared "My Father workis, and I do the works, and so must I!" You know that was on the Sabbath. My family in Christ works because we are now the Boby of Jesus on earth. As long as we are in this age allied to corruption and general decay, we must do the works of our Father and Savior.
Please stop boasting of all that rest you claim.........it will not float any spiritual boat.

Oh, I know of a man who rested all the time. He was a preacher. He amassed monies from his
congregation, enought to buy planes to go to Africa to spread tehWord, so he said.
It turns out this man was dealing in diamonds and using the planes for hauling supplies to and from the mines he squired.
Oh yes, this one rested a lot, on the backs of his congregation.......

So you believe rest in soul that Jesus give to us when we come to Him may not make our soul peace?
