Very good post BEP,i just dont agree with BL idea that the Lord does not want us to keep the sabbath.The way BL is saying it is as he is speaking for the Lord.BL tell me how you can say that?
Oklahoma Howdy to Jabez,
Brother, I think you are talking about a word usage misunderstanding (semantics). God's children keep the Sabbath 24/7/365. There is a finished work at the CROSS OF JESUS, and everything changed at that CROSS. Not only does the Holy Spirit live in the hearts of God's Children, but God's Children are members of THE BODY OF CHRIST 24/7/365. The lost obviously don't rest in Christ, but HIS flock does. The key to the Sabbath misunderstanding IS THE FINISHED WORK OF JESUS, our Lord and Saviour. All days are the Sabbath, so there can be no violation of the Sabbath day for God's Children. God's children already rest in JESUS because of HIS FINISHED WORK. It isn't semantics, rather it is a precious TRUTH that is distorted by some who seek self-righteousness by deeds of the Law instead of submitting themselves to the RIGHTEOUSNESS OF ALMIGHTY GOD and accepting HIS full GRACE AND LOVE.
If you look at this further, you will see that it is quite Biblical for God's children to say many things about the Sabbath.
In Christ,
Tom
