The Lord did change it. How do you understand Colossians 2:10-17?

The original battle was in OT times. Symbolically God is speaking about the destruction of Israel in the 1st century.

I'm not against keeping it. I'm against a strict adherence to a particular day.

That's one take. If I thought you were really interested, I would answer further. I only answered because you cited Genesis 3 as the place where the Adamic covenant was instituted.

I never said it was canceled. I said it, like all things prefigured in the Bible, find their ultimate expression in Christ. God established the sabbath rest to point us to the rest offered in Christ. Christ doesn't need a sabbath to be Christ. The sabbath does need Christ to be the sabbath.

Gog and Magog is used symbolically there to represent the rebellion of Israel in the first century. Those resurrected go into eternity or the lake of fire.

We don't need a verse that says the sabbath is no longer in effect. We have plenty of verses establishing that the sabbath was a shadow pointing to the rest we have in the work of Christ. Is the sabbath greater than Christ? No. Like everything else, it pointed to Christ to be truly understood...

After the "millennium" is the judgment and then the eternal estate.

The Adamic covenant is in Genesis 2. Genesis 3 is a part of the covenant of grace.

What age is that?

David typifies Christ in the eternal kingdom. See what happens in David's time as king and understand the spiritual realities that are prefigured in Christ's eternal kingdom.

So how would Adam and Eve fill the earth with their progeny if the garden was not on the earth?

No. They sprang to life out of their death. And in dying, not only did they find new life, but their life was multiplied. You don't understand God or His ways. That's why you assume the worst. It would be worth your while to find out who He actually is and how He actually operates.

This isn't exactly true. You have a friend in Jesus. Delight in Him. And don't see this isolation as a detriment, but as an opportunity to broaden and deepen your relationship with Him. As you will soon be working and as other relationships come, you may find yourself longing for such a time...

What do you think Jesus meant when he said that unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies it remains a single seed, but if it falls to the ground and dies it produces many seeds?

While I always appreciate the prayers of the saints, and particularly on my behalf, if you really want to pray a helpful prayer for me, please pray for a closer walk with Him. And thanks for the discussion. Grace and peace.

I'm just clowning around.

There are 12 pieces to the set. I'm more inclined to believe 12 days of darkness.

Faith is simply belief. God moves mountains. Jesus told a lady her faith made her whole. But it was God who made her whole because she exercised her faith or belief. In other words, she believed what God said He would do so He did it. How many mountains have you moved? Zero. Why? God hasn't...

This is a lie you have swallowed. The updated FBI figures reveal this was based on incomplete data. The FBI had to issue a mea culpa. But anyone paying attention and didn't have a vested interest already knew this.
