Does entering into Jesus' rest mean we're to give up the Sabbath day? Is the 4th commandment part of the moral law of God?

Adventists stand out pretty much by the topic "sabbath" and denying that they are Adventists in the way you've done.

All you need to do is state "I'm not a Seventh Day Adventist" or follow "Seventh Day Adventist" teaching or attend an SDA church.

Good Thou
Good thought.

Hebrews 4
1Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.
2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.
3 For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.

for we which have believed do enter into the rest.

To me It mean as soon as we believe in Jesus, we are in rest every day. Rest from work for ourself, now what ever we do is for the Lord. When we work as a police we focus It for helping other, as carpenter, we do It to helping other, now we rest for Being self center, into Jesus center.

To me Verse 2 is question for sabbath keeper.

Why you keep sabbath, is gospel not give you rest?

For you, brother: I’m not a Seventh Day Adventist nor do I follow “Seventh Day Adventist” teaching nor do I attend an SDA church.

Fair enough - the rest that is spoken of in Hebrews which you partially quoted in your opening post has nothing to do with the 4th commandment in the decalogue.

Heb 4:8 For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken afterward about another day.

Heb 4:9 Consequently a Sabbath rest remains for the people of God.

Heb 4:10 For the one who enters God's rest has also rested from his works, just as God did from his own works.

In the above the writer is stating that although Joshua brought the Israelites into the promised land they did not receive rest (which was a shadow of the rest in Christ).

So when the full context is considered this portion of scripture can't be used to establish sabbath keeping for Christians.

Heb 4:9 really should read "Consequently a Sabbath remains for the people of God."

In other words we all better be careful for our salvation rests on our choice of the day we worship.

Seriously?

does anyone think these things through in the SDA movement? A person lives for God their entire lives, turning from sin, progressing in sanctification, praising the Lord, having faith in His blood, fully persuaded in the faith like Abraham, dies, gets in front of Jesus and Jesus says "Sorry son, you picked the wrong day" and casts them to the lake of fire?

That is absolutely absurd

they think the catholic church invented sunday worship, and Jesus resurrected on the Sabbath, so, the whole sunday worship thing is to trick us into worshiping the sun god.

I did not invent this, I am just stating what some judeaizers think...

Sabbath is a shadow of rest. When we accept Jesus we have real rest. We do not need shadow when we have real

Yup im aware of this.

I've investigated into SDA beliefs quite a bit. Have you noticed that cults like SDAs and JWs always have something in common.... failed prophecies?
The SDAs prophecied that Jesus would return like two centuries ago, well He didnt, so they had to cover up and come up with that ridicilous "investigative judgment" of a coming nonsense.

There are smart deceptions out there, hard to discern, but there are some that are just so clear(like scientology, clear scam) that you just wonder HOW and WHY are people being deceived into this stuff?

Reading Hebrews...the rest God refers to. Six days he worked, the seventh he rested.
If you think about works vs grace. The hebrews had to work to enter that rest i.e follow all the laws so they could relax on the sabbath. But those without faith just kept right on working. They couldnt relax and were paranoid about doing all the works of the law. They couldnt enjoy the day God gave them to rest.

See 4 verse 10

I've decided not to answer anymore adventist threads. Its exhausting trying to explain to people, my advice is read Hebrews and Galatians carefully and ask God to show you what He means.

I heard years back a story from a Pastor of a large congregation about marriage counseling. He stated that for years he was open to helping couples through their marital issues till he reached a point of frustration and quit doing so. He said that he gave them his best scriptural advice and they constantly ignored it.

I’ve found that people with bad theology hate to admit they’ve invested so much time in a lie, that they would rather argue than humbly submit they were wrong.

I agree. It is so absurd that I posted it making fun of the mailman for saying such a thing.

I was simply exposing an absurd/ludicrous doctrine that I certainly don’t hold to.

I totally disagree with you.. Millions of people have the works salvation mindset where they believe doing the Law plays a central role in them attaining eternal life with Jesus...

The number of people who actually place 100% of their faith in the Atonement of the LORD Jesus Christ for their eternal salvation is very small indeed..

Keeping sabbath and the Law with the mindset that doing so plays a part in our salvation is Works salvation..

broad path/ narrow path.

I said -- I still need the blood of Christ today because there is a law condemning me of sin today.

Your twisting what i said...
The law is condemning me today but because i have the blood of Christ it has no power to hold me guilty. By the blood of Christ i am free from the condemnation of the law. But does that mean i can sin or transgress the law as much as i want by grace.

If you are a sinner you have transgressed the law.
If you are in Christ you are not condemned because His blood sets you free.
What i was saying is that i still need the blood of Jesus today to set me free, i still need Jesus today because sin is still a problem today.

The sin problem is present today because the law is present today.
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

Rom 7:7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.
Rom 7:14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.

Nope, sorry, but I've enjoyed your attempt to clean up your mess. There is no condemnation. None. Zilch. Zero. Nada. You're simply pitting Scripture against Romans 8:1.

I dont think the context in Heb is about grace vs works. It is showing us the pattern (type and anti-type) scripture has in God's design. The sabbath represents God's rest, not ours. (NOT that I believe we are under the law of Moses, it has been completed)

God's rest on the 7th day was/is a shadow of the reign of Christ when all authority is given to Him as he said:

Mat 28:18 And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me."

This is why Jesus is "Lord of the Sabbath," because it was created to foreshadow Him. The same sense the lamb sacrificed under the law was to testify of what was coming

Mat 12:8 For the Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath.”

We see in Hebrews their still remains a sabbath rest unto the people of God, this was shadowed by the promise land and those who entered. This has not happened yet from what I can see, but will when the shadow becomes the true image.

Sabbath keeping was a sign of the old covenant:

Exo 31:16 'Six days is work done, and in the seventh day is a sabbath of holy rest to Jehovah; any who doeth work in the sabbath-day is certainly put to death

Exo 31:16 and the sons of Israel have observed the sabbath; to keep the sabbath to their generations is a covenant age-during,

Exo 31:17 between Me and the sons of Israel it is a sign -- to the age; for six days Jehovah made the heavens and the earth, and in the seventh day He hath ceased, and is refreshed.'
