I do not ever mean to accuse and offend. So often when I report a bible verse it is read as my personal instructions to people of all things, and I personally am nothing. Even scripture tells me that flesh can't be the authority, that is the place of God. We are supposed to be able to report scripture here, and we are NOT to judge people. Yet, any scripture I speak about is manipulated to be about people.
I use this site as a wonderful help and guide to bible study, and being able to talk about it is wonderful for me. But it is getting so that the judging people instead of discussing scripture is making it almost impossible to use this site to help with a study of God's word. No one seems to want to discuss scripture, it is only used to accuse people.
Now, with people's mind so set on judging people, my discussing scripture is changed into judgements. I have said I believe God gave a special blessing to Saturday, calling it a Sabbath. That is not at all what people read in that. That statement brings accusing of judging anyone who goes to church on Sunday!!! I have stated that today's church uses Sunday in the way God asked us to use Saturday. That is just stating what is done, not a judgment about it. That statement is changed into my stating that I believe in what scripture has told us is not to be followed, and I am a Judaizer.
Personally, I am put in an isolated situation with my companions deep in dementia. I am too old and crippled to live on my own. This site is wonderful for me. I hate it that I am chased out, but that is the way it is.
sorry
you have lost your credibility here
I am sorry for your physical condition, that is not a pleasant situation
however, you do what say others are doing, so how do you expect it to go? you are not really discussing scripture; you are forcing your views and while probably any one of us can be forceful at times, you have started many threads about the same thing and this is just another one
Jesus has fulfilled all of the law and we do no longer need to observe it and it was not given to Gentiles in the first place
21Tell me, you who want to be under the law, do you not understand what the law says?
22For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave woman and the other by the free woman.
b 23His son by the slave woman was born according to the flesh, but his son by the free woman was born through the promise.
24These things serve as illustrations, for the women represent two covenants. One covenant is from Mount Sinai and bears children into slavery: This is Hagar.
25Now Hagar stands for Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present-day Jerusalem, because she is in slavery with her children.
26But the Jerusalem above is free, and she is our mother. Galatians 4
13When you were dead in your trespasses and in the uncircumcision of your sinful nature, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our trespasses,
14having canceled the debt ascribed to us in the decrees that stood against us. He took it away, nailing it to the cross!
15And having disarmed the powers and authorities, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.
16Therefore let no one judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a feast, a New Moon, or a Sabbath. 17These are a shadow of the things to come, but the body that casts it belongs to Christ.
c 18Do not let anyone who delights in false humility and the worship of angels disqualify you with speculation about what he has seen. Such a person is puffed up without basis by his unspiritual mind.
19He has lost connection to the head, from whom the whole body, supported and knit together by its joints and ligaments, grows as God causes it to grow.
20If you have died with Christ to the spiritual forces of the world, why, as though you still belonged to the world, do you submit to its regulations:
21“Do not handle, do not taste, do not touch!”?
22These will all perish with use, because they are based on human commands and teachings.
23Such restrictions indeed have an appearance of wisdom, with their self-prescribed worship, their false humility, and their harsh treatment of the body; but they are of no value against the indulgence of the flesh. Colossians 2
now pay special attention to v.16 above highlighted in green. the scripture could not possibly be any plainer than that
now if a person rejects what Paul writes, as some do, that is still no excuse. ignorance is not an excuse and neither is deliberate blindness . you know, there is such a thing as false humility and I do not think you are suffering from that, but there are certain people on this forum whose entire spirituality is false because they model what they think is correct behavior, but it is a false fleshy delight in themselves and their merits and not in what Christ has done for them
I believe you are earnest, but you are also earnestly wrong I am sorry to say. Jesus has accomplished all for us and we rest IN Him
HE is our Sabbath rest.
please see post following for what scripture states about Jesus being our Sabbath rest
