Genesis 1:28.

Hate is easy. Love is hard.

It's obviously a case of mistaken identity and I've got my best alternate account looking into it.

But the command to fill the earth came before the fall. How does such a command make sense if they weren't on earth?

That does it. I'm not writing anything good if I can't be affirmed.

Again, you can't even begin a post to me without being disingenuous. I actually said in a previous post that what Jesus said has not vanished away. At this point one can only conclude you are purposefully deceitful. That Jesus was born under the law, even as you yourself posted, is the evidence...

Unfortunately, they are likely simply lost. They base their religious success on how well they self evaluate their own obedience. Outward conformity by acts of the will according to a human standard are substituted for an inward conformity of a new heart conformed to the standard of Christ...

I wonder why someone would choose such a course seeing how it ends so poorly?

Our righteousness does exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees. It's the righteousness of Christ. That's the righteousness Jesus was referring to.

Didn't everyone die under the old covenant?

More disingenuousness. He didn't equate the new creation and disobedience.

You still don't get it. I never argue against scripture; only what I believe is a misunderstanding of them. And you continue to be disingenuous because of the way you frame my arguments. For example, in this post you insinuate that I haven't but should have made a biblical argument against...

There's a whole lot here that needs either correction or understanding, but why don't you believe the benefits of the Sabbath were always experienced through faith? Is obedience not the activity of faith? Is an OT saint able to please God apart from faith? How then is the rest of Christ a...

Are you saying Christ's rest is not for here and now? Are you saying Christ's rest is different from the Sabbath rest?

I appreciate you taking the time to prepare this answer. Which Sabbath doesn't relate to the rest Jesus offers in Matthew 11:28-30?

More disingenuousness. I never said to disregard what Jesus said or do away with the Sabbath. As long as you characterize responses in this way, you simply exemplify your ignorance to what is actually being said. I'll try to state it very clearly: The law can only be kept with the aid of the...

For those who believe Jesus upholds all things by the word of His power, each moment is a new creation. And all part of the restoration of all things.

This is an odd response given that you said earlier that I needed to understand that the Bible was written to a Jewish audience. Also since the early church was predominantly Jewish.

We don't rest with Jesus. We rest in Jesus. Big difference.

So far, every person I've spoken with on this subject who disagrees with me has been very disingenuous. Like you, they make untrue statements. I'm not anti-Sabbath. I'm full- blown Sabbath. But I don't imagine that following a rigid outer practice void of inward spiritual reality will bring the...
