Pastor Bob was the same.
@Genez ,Very few believers get a daily dose of Doctrine. They focus on people relationships, potlucks,smoke screens and "nice" but doctrinal illiterate believers to get advice and gossip from.
The pastor is now happily with the Lord.
Some of his messages are available online.
There are about 11,000 hours of recorded Bible teachings offered on CD and thumb drive to order without charge
No sense talking about those things.
For those who really want/crave Bible doctrine?
These ones will walk away from what they used to settle for because they had no idea what they were missing.
One cannot promote Thieme, "the Colonel" enough. He is hands down the best teacher of his time and well before his time.
We, as a family go to church, but we come home and LEARN doctrine from these great teachers and their recordings.
We cannot find a church around our area that teaches doctrine. So we go to a "nice" local church that is involved in the community and we can donate time and resources to. But we LEARN doctrine from great teachers like the Colonel.
I still remember the day I received REAL bible doctrine......It was about as exciting as the day I was saved!
10 years of do this, don't do that, act like this, don't act like that, are you really saved?
Once you find Bible doctrine and your right pastor teacher...........His yoke is easy.
And yes, we have to want the truth and seek it out. If not, believers will be forever stuck on salvation. And never live the Christian way of life.
Matt 7:14~~“For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it.
What indeed.....
1Co 4:1
Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.
I knew right away what a Marine recruiter once told me....
"I never heard anything like this!"
I left a Marine recruiter a few messages to listen to. "The Doctrine of War."
A week or so later, I went to visit his office... (which was located in a federal building).
He was not there, but his secretary was.
I asked her about the lessons I left with him, and if she knew anything about it.
What she told me was as follows...
He called all the other recruiters in the building into his office. "Army, Navy, Air force, Coast guard."
And had them sit down and listen!
You will either love him or hate him.
But, when God wants a job done right... it gets done.

When I was still in Bible college, down the hall in the dorm Pastor Bob had a room with his wife at the end of the hall.
He was a graduate student at that time.

While God provides abundant evidence to ground our faith, He never removes every possible reason for unbelief or all opportunity for doubt. This balance is designed to test the heart and develop a genuine, living experience in trusting Him.
The sabbath doctrine for me is beyond doubt. I have so much evidence in so many ways that tells me it is God's will that I keep it holy.
But if people want to doubt this truth God will not force them by taking away every hook to hang their doubts on.
The phrase "hooks to hang your doubts upon" refers to the various excuses people find to justify their unbelief.
Those who have passed through a struggle to rise above the realm of doubt and conjecture, realize that “while God has given ample evidence for faith, He will never remove all excuse for unbelief. All who look for hooks to hang their doubts upon, will find them. And those who refuse to accept and obey God's Word until every objection has been removed, and there is no longer an opportunity for doubt, will never come to the light.

I feel it's the exact opposite . Especially if you believ in the Lord Jesus . What's so hard to know he seated at the throne the high priest never sits until his job is done . . So your belief is not anything or sitting on or resting . You need to know the word aman let's put the absolute knowledge of all that God is in one in the word is Parah that is if you want life with him the high priest job is done it was a mistake because a high priest could never sit down with so much on cleanliness there's no seats in there for the high preist rest . Do it yourself but don't tell anybody else to do it that's your will not the will command of To parah ruach
Isreal been cut off .

Quickened is death to life incase one really like yto know

Jesus is my high priest. Jesus Christ is your great High Priest today, ministering in the heavenly sanctuary to intercede on your behalf and provide you with mercy and grace.
While the earthly priests of old served in a tabernacle made with hands, Jesus has entered into heaven itself to appear in the presence of God for us.
Hebrews 9:24.
"For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:"
The crucifixion was only the beginning of the work Jesus is doing for us.
Heb 8:1-2
1 Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens; 2 A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man.
Also Heb 7:24,25
Jesus as the high priest, uses His blood to atone for our sins.
Heb 9:11-14
11 But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; 12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. 13 For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: 14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
Our constant need for His intercession is met by His constant love. While He is making atonement for us in the sanctuary above.
The sanctuary on Earth was a pattern or type of the one in Heaven. It was a literal "copy and shadow of heavenly things," constructed by Moses according to a divine pattern shown to him on Mount Sinai to illustrate Christ's work in the true tabernacle in heaven.
When God instructed Moses to build the sanctuary, He was very specific that it must follow a precise model. This is because the building and its furniture were intended to be a representation of the greater reality in heaven.
"According to all that I show you, after the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the instruments thereof, even so shall you make it" Exodus 25:9
Heb 8:5
Who serve to the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, says he, that you make all things according to the pattern showed to you in the mount.
Example and shadow of heavenly things...
Heb 9:24
For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:
The earthly was a figure or shadow or type of the heavenly.
Heb 8:2 A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man.
The Lord pitched the sanctuary that Jesus is in now.
Hebrews 9 explains it well.
Rev 11:19 And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament:.....

Good questions.
1. Why do the 10 commandments not apply today?
When we talk about the Ten Commandments, it’s important to see that they reveal God’s moral vision for humanity. Commands against idolatry, murder, adultery, theft, false witness, and dishonoring parents express what God considers universally right for His creatures; they reflect His own moral character and therefore apply to every human being. The one exception is the fourth commandment, the Sabbath, which is tied uniquely to Israel’s covenant identity and national rhythm. In other words, nine of the commandments express God’s universal moral will, while the Sabbath command expresses Israel’s covenantal sign — a distinction that preserves both the moral weight of the Decalogue and the integrity of its covenant context.
2. How does grace make the law void ?
Grace does not make the Law void, and Paul goes out of his way to say exactly that. The key is understanding how grace and Law relate, because people often assume they are opposites when Paul argues they are different categories.
Grace doesn’t cancel the Law; it changes our relationship to it. Paul insists in Romans 3:31 that we “uphold the Law,” not by using it as the pathway to God’s approval, but by recognizing its true purpose. The Law still defines God’s moral vision for humanity, still exposes sin, still reveals what righteousness looks like. What grace does is remove the Law from the role of achieving righteousness and places it in the role of describing righteousness. In Christ, we obey not to earn God’s favor but because we already have it. Grace doesn’t make the Law void — it makes obedience possible, joyful, and properly ordered.
3. Should we obey the 10 commandments because you have faith and love for Jesus?
The question is loaded because it assumes that the reason Christians obey the Ten Commandments determines which commandments apply. But those are two different issues. The Ten Commandments express God’s universal moral vision for humanity, and therefore every human being is accountable to them — whether they love Jesus or not. Love for Jesus is the right motive for Christian obedience, but it does not change the scope of what is universally moral. The fourth commandment is not moral in that universal sense; it is Israel’s covenant sign (Exod. 31:13–17). So yes, Christians obey God’s moral commands out of love for Jesus, but that motive does not transform a covenant‑specific command into a universal one. Love for Christ does not smuggle the Sabbath into the moral category.
