Yes, The Sabbath Day is still the 7th day of the Week... And it does still apply to us!

The following is a post that I made after becoming "friends" of the FaceBook group called "Sabbatismos" and www.sabbatismos.com...

Although I am NOT an SDA(Seventh-Day Adventist) any longer, I do however still believe in the keeping of the 7th day Sabbath along with God's Instructions (Torah). I really think that most ex-adventists are so hurt when they come out of the sda church that they throw the baby out with the bath water to make a complete seperation statement to friends and family. I have read your statement about "Sabbatismos" and I believe that we should rest (anapauo) in Yeshua (Jesus) because ONLY He is our security of Salvation and Eternal Life, whereby we can rest from our trials and hardships in Life and live the rest of our Earthly life without worry of our final destiny. However the context of Heb. 4 is about the 7th day "sabbatismos" which is derived from the Hebrew "Shabbat". The only place in the Bible where Jesus tells us to rest in Him is Matthew 11:28 and the word "rest" used here is "anapauo" (meaning refresh, or cease from labor) and if we compare this to all of the times "rest" is used in Heb. 4, except v.9, you will see that "Katapausis" and "Katapauo" is used and are synonymous with "anapauo" in Matt. 11:28. The context of v. 9 is in regards to the 7th day Sabbath and if you read v 8 as it was intended to be read, as a question (KJV), with the understanding that Joshua and Jesus in Hebrew are the same name, then we have to ask ourselves "did Jesus or Joshua ever speak of another day?" They didn't. Jesus, when dealing with the Jews concerning Sabbath had plenty of opportunity to teach of a new day or a changing of the day or the negating of the day, but He didn't. He was contending with the Jews about "their traditions" which made void the commandments of God. This is clear in Matthew 15. It is interesting to me that people quote Paul's writings not realizing that he was a Jew and a Pharisee and never one time in His writings did he ever teach against anything of the Jews, except their traditions that contradicted the Torah. Acts 18:18; 22:3; 23:6; 26:5; 2 Cor. 11:22; Phil. 3:5; Rom. 11:1. The book of Hebrews was written by Paul to the Jews or Hebrews who believed in Yeshua and were getting "beat up" so to speak by the unbelieving Jews, which still happens today. My point to all of this is, just because you come out of the SDA church, doesn't mean that every detail of their belief system was in error. Just to be clear. I do not try to keep the 7th day Sabbath "set-apart" for Salvation's sake, I do it out of Love for my Heavenly Father and if we don't do it out of Love, then it becomes legalistic and that is the error of most SDA's. It is this same reason that I don't murder and cheat on my wife. I also believe that we need to be careful not to fall into following the example of disobedience mentioned in Heb. 3:19; 4:11; by not entering into His Sabbatismos rest, not His Anapauo rest. Peter makes a great point that people like to quote.. 2 Peter 3:16, however if we read v. 17 also, we get a deeper meaning of what he is really trying to say. The untaught and unprincipled man cannot understand Pauls writings because the teaching and principles spoken of are from the Hebrew / Jewish school of thought and a Western, Greek, Marcionic mind-set will never be able grasp it. Please consider 1 John 2:3-6; 3:4; and Matthew 7:21-23 (if your Bible uses the word "iniquity", please look up the Greek to get the true understanding.) Anyway, I know that I am probably gonna get blasted for this comment, however I just couldn't be a part of this group without making it clear of what I believe.. So, I hope that all reading this will consider my thoughts and look up the references and if you don't agree, then we will have to respectfully agree to disagree. Anyway, if someone really wants to understand what the Basar truly is, and wants to learn the Eschatological aspects of the Scriptures, I suggest getting the book "Rosh ha Shanah and the Messianic Kingdom to Come" by Joseph Good. It will give you insights into the Scriptures that you never knew were there..

After I wrote the above and posted it on Facebook, I recieved a comment from someone that was basically arguing more of the same "replacement theology" un-biblical non-sense against Torah and Sabbath, so I started writing and three weeks later, I posted the following....


Does a Good Father give His son Instruction ? Prov. 1:8; 4:1; Eph. 6:4; Deut. 21:18,

Should a Good Son obey His Father? Prov. 4:1; Ps 32:8; Ps 25:8.

Did Yeshua (Jesus) obey / or Do the will of His Father? John 8:28-29; 5:19; 4:34.

Are we to walk as Yeshua Did? 1 John 2:6; Col 2:6

The New Covenant (B'rit Chadashah) is what was originally given to us through Moses, but now written on our Hearts. This covenant is the same Torah (Law), however now it is better, because God has made it “do able” because He has given us the Eyes, Ears and Heart to do so when He had not previously. Deut. 29:4 This Covenant is “cut” (karath=made or make. Deut. 29:1) at Mt. Nebo in Moab and can be found in Deut. 29 – 30 and was ratified or put in force by the Blood of Yeshua, whereas the covenant at Horeb was ratified by the blood of an animal. Ex 24:8; Matt 26:28; Heb 9:20; 10:29; 12:24; 13:20. It is not what was written that changed, but where it was/is written and how it was ratified. Also, if we study the word “new”, Chadash (H 2319 derived from H 2318) we find that it can mean renew, repair, or make anew. Just like the “New” Moon ( H 2320) every month is the same, original Moon, however it is made anew or refreshed. Another point that we really need to consider is that the New Covenant is not in full force yet. Notice the wording carefully in Jer 31:31-34 & Heb 8:8-13. Especially v11, not all people on Earth know Him yet, that will happen during the Messiah's reign as King during the Millennium. Notice v13. “obsolete” is G3822 “palaioo” and means to make old, become old, to be worn out, to declare a thing to be old and so about to be abrogated. About to be abrogated, not already abrogated, about to be. The word “ready” is G1451 “eggus”and means to be near, ready, soon to come pass. In other words it is old and will soon come to pass and will become so in the Messianic Kingdom. Also, notice who this New Covenant is made with in v8. We Goy ( Gentiles) become grafted into Israel when we accept Yeshua. Rom 11:17-24. Again, the “New” is Torah written on our Hearts for all to know Him and how it is ratified. The “old” written on stone is growing old and ready to disappear. “Kainos palaioo protos palaioo gerasko eggus aphanismos”. Heb 8:13. We Live in the New Covenant when we are re-born because He puts it into our Heart to follow His Instructions by His Spirit, instead of it written on stone and paper. Stone and Paper is what is old and ready to disappear.

Sabbatismos (G4520) is used only once because this is the only verse (Heb. 4:9) talking about there remaining “a keeping of Sabbath” which is the meaning of the word and it is notable that this word is derived from the word “Sabbaton” (G4521) which always refers to the 7th day Shabbat (H7676). The two verses in Hebrews 4 that witness to the context being about the 7th Day is v. 4 and v 10. This couldn't be any clearer. In v 4, Paul quotes Joshua 22:4, but the question remains, did he speak of another day? No he didn't. God gave the people “rest” through Joshua, but not a Sabbath rest, it is the word “nuwach” which is synonymous to the Greek word for rest, “anapauo”. Rest from war and their enemies, rest from wondering around lost in the desert. Joshua 11:23; 23:1. Joshua giving them “rest” has to do with the tribes of Reuben, Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh wanting to stay in the land this side of the Jordan, however they made a deal with Moses that they would go with their brothers across the Jordan to help them obtain the land and after they possess the land and obtain rest, then the Reubenites, Gadites and the half tribe of Manasseh would be able to go back across the Jordan to possess the land promised to them and rest. Joshua 1:14-15; 18:7; Deut. 3:8-17. Joshua didn't give anyone rest (nuwach), YHVH did. Joshua 21:44; 23:1. They are now able to nuwach because they now possess the land promised to them. In Joshua's farewell address to Israel before his death, he says in Joshua 23:6, “Be very firm, then, to keep and do all that is written in the book of the law of Moses, so that you may not turn aside from it to the right hand or to the left”, and in Joshua 24:25-26, He (Joshua) makes a pledge or covenant with them concerning their agreement in not turning away from YHVH to serve other gods. He then writes it in the book of the Torah which Moses wrote after “renewing” the Horeb covenant at Moab. Deut. 29 & 30; 31:24. So, with this, we should be able to understand the question and answer stated in Hebrews 4:8-11; “For if Joshua had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day? There remains therefore a keeping of the Sabbath to the people of God.” Another point that is worth making at this time is that since Yeshua is God and was involved in the creation of the Heavens and the Earth, then He was the one who “rested” on the first 7th day. He was also the God who made the covenants and gave the Torah. We should then, enter into His rest “Sabbath” (“as God did from His”) to be a witness of our belief in His Creatorship. Heb. 4:10-11.

Look at Acts 21:20; 15:20; 18:18. Paul keeps Torah 30 years after Yeshua and never teaches against it even though he has plenty of opportunity, instead he states in Acts 24:14 that he is“believing everything that is in accordance with the Torah and that is written in the Prophets”.. In Galatians 3:10-13, Paul is showing us that Messiah has redeemed us from the curse of the Law. What is the curse of the Law? It is Death to those that don't abide! What will happen to the Lawless, those that live without the Torah? What is sin? Who is the man of sin and what does he teach? The Scripture is clear. 1 John 3:4, 2:3-6; Matt. 7:21-23; 13:41; 23:28; 24:12; Rom. 6:19-23; 2 Thess. 2:3-8; Dan 7:25; Heb. 10:26. In Greek there is only one word used for anything concerning a law or decree, it is “nomos” and it is not a true representation of what the word “Torah” means. Therefore the word “Law” derived from “nomos” gives an improper meaning for the word Torah. Torah simply means “instruction” and sin is the word “chet”, meaning “to miss the mark”. Ex. 24:12. The Torah is God's instruction in how to live in Righteousness, not to be Righteous. We have to shift our thinking from “Law” to “Instruction”. Laws are burdensome, however Instruction isn't. Legalism is one of the problems that both Yeshua and Paul were up against, along with man's stoney cold, unbelieving heart, and this is why the New Covenant is better, because no longer was it up to man to circumcise his own heart, God does it for him... Deut. 29:10(Ger/alien/Gentile), 14-15; 30:6, 11-14; Jer. 31:31; 32:40; Eze. 11:19-20, 36:24-27; Heb. 10:16; 2 Cor. 3:3; Rom. 7:14. The letter of the “Law” is of the flesh and brings death, this is the Covenant given to Moses at Horeb that man could not abide in, but the “Brit Chadasha” or New Covenant is of the Spirit and gives us Life. It is Better because it is up to YHVH to write it upon our Heart by His Spirit. The same Torah, different place of writing it. The problem has never been Torah, it has always been Man's unbelief. Romans 7:12, 16; 1Tim 1:8; Neh 9:13-17; Psalms 19:7-11; 119:160; Prov 29:18; Isa 51:7.

Look at Galatians 3:15-17 and note “when it has been ratified, no one sets it aside or adds conditions to it” and “What I am saying is this: the Law does not invalidate a covenant previously ratified by God, so as to nullify the promise.” The New Covenant made at Moab, was not ratified with the blood of an animal, like the covenant at Horeb, it was ratified with the Blood of Yeshua. And Paul is clear that once it is ratified you don't set it aside or negate it, or add conditions to it, and it doesn't nullify the Covenant previous to it. Our Father has never broken any of the covenants, man did, (Jer. 31:32) and the New and Better Way is the Torah written within us and on the heart (“leb”= mind, will, understanding, knowledge, thinking, memory, inclination, desire) and Yeshua's blood given once and for all, for all Sins. Contrast this with the high priest entering yearly with the blood of animals that can never take away sin. Heb. 10. To those who confess His Sonship and claim His blood in their place, then the sins of that person are Passed Over and Eternal Life is the Free Gift given by His unmerited favor, also known as Grace. Rom. 3:25; 10:9-10. We have to try and understand that our Father chose Israel, and was betrothed to them and became a husband to them. The Torah was/is a marriage contract, that they broke, but even though they committed adultery, He Loves them/us and gave a “new” contract written on their/our hearts. Isaiah 54:5; Jer. 31:32; Deut. 29-30; Hosea 2:16,19,20. Notice the word “know” and “knowledge” in Hosea 2:20; 4:6; Jer. 31:34. It is the words “yada`” and “da`ath” (da`ath H 1847 is derived from yada` H3045) and is the same word used in Gen. 4:1,17,25; 38:26; Judges 11:39; 1 Kings 1:4 (relations, knew, know, cohabit) and is always used in the context of intimacy. So in Hosea 4:6 we should see that His people are destroyed for lack of the Yada` or lack of the intimate knowledge of Him, which is gained by Torah, or His personal instructions for His betrothed to be able to yada` Him. 1 John 2:13; 5:3.

If we are going to understand what is happening in the 1st century setting, we have to understand the mindset of the Believing Jews of that time. They thought that they were to go and make Jews of those born outside the land. Gentile (Goy or Ger) is anyone not born in the land of Israel or no Jewish blood in their Genealogy. This is one of the problems dealt with by Yeshua and Paul (Matthew 15:6, Acts 15; Galatians 2:3). The other thing that has to be realized is that the Jew, then and even today, say that the Oral Law or Tradition, supersedes the written Torah of Moses and actually the written and the oral are one in the same in authority. The written Torah is God's instructions and the Oral is the rabbinical “halacha” or how to walk in it and the problem is when the tradition or oral rabbinical halacha is more important or supersedes the Torah. Matt. 15:3, 6; Mark 7:5,9,13. This is what is going on; the struggle of following the Torah given by Moses from our Father or the torah given by man according to the tradition. This is one of the things that Yeshua is addressing in Matthew 5:17, He came to “fulfill” which is the Greek “Pleroo” which means to rightly interpret; teach correctly; carry out; bring to realization. Yeshua is the one we should mimic in “halacha” or how to walk in the Torah, because this is one of the reasons that He came. 1John 2:6: John 13:15; 15:10; 1 Peter 2:21. So in Galatians 2&3 “the works of the law” is the rabbinical traditions or oral Torah and the Jews believing that they achieved salvation by the works (rabbinical halacha) of the Torah. The New Covenant is not what was written, it is where it is written. What was/is written on our Hearts and within us when we are born from above, is His Torah, by His Spirit. Our Father's Instructions written on our Hearts so we will walk in it. How then is Torah a burden to us? It is only a burden because of a cold heart of stone that is after the way of Cain. Jude 11, 1 John 3:12; 5:3. We should do it out of Love for our Father, not for salvation, but because of Salvation...

There are 2 different schools of thought between us. Most Christians are in a Western, Greek, Marcionic, anti-nomian, replacement theological school of thought and the other (which I follow) is from the Eastern / Jewish, Messianic, pro-nomian school of thought and just like the two sects of Pharisees ( Hillel and Shammai) didn't agree on many points, we also don't, and will probably have to agree to disagree and move on. But, I challenge you to step out of the replacement theology box and study the Scriptures from a Messianic Jewish school of thought. I believe that those who teach against the Torah or aspects of it will be left behind when Yeshua comes to get His bride. Matt. 7:21-23; Matt. 25:11-12, however in the last day be redeemed because of their belief in Yeshua, however they will be called least in the Kingdom of Heaven. Matt. 5:17-19; 11:25; 18:4. There is a lot more that could be said concerning all of this, however, I believe that enough has been given to allow anyone that really wants to know, the ability to see and understand.

I really hope that you will get the book “Rosh haShanah and the Messianic Kingdom to Come” by Joseph Good. This book reveals a lot of information that most have never known existed in the Scriptures and is a wonderful resource for those that want to gain deeper knowledge of the Scriptures. I want to leave on this note and suggestion, that all who read this letter follow the example of the Bereans given in Acts 17:11. By “examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so”.

Shalom, John

Law vs Instruction

Using the term "the Law" in Scripture is actually not correct and gives a wrong meaning. Greek language is limited in words to describe what "Torah" really is. It is God's Instructions. When someone says that they are "not under the Law", what God hears is they are not under His Instructions. If we are His Children, isn't a Good thing to listen to our Father's Instructions? We listen and practice what He instructs out of Love for Him.. It is so simple, yet people make it sooooo hard because they mis-interpret Shaul's (Paul) writings. Notice all of 2 Peter 3:16-17... Paul's writings are NOT hard to understand by someone trained in Torah, it is hard to understand by people that are untaught and not steadfast in their pursuit of learning, so they distort the Scripture to their own destruction. Therefore, we should be on guard of their error and remain in our Steadfastness... So Simple... We must always read more than one verse and we have to consider Context and original language... Paul was a Jew, and a Pharisee, trained by one of the great Torah teachers, Gamaliel. He never renounced Judaism... When he lost the scales from his eyes, the only thing that changed was he became a Jew who Believed in Yeshua as the Promised Messiah... Acts 21:39; 22:3; 24:14... Also, do a study on "the Way".. When you study this, you will see that "the way" and the Way" are two different things and "the Way" is one of the names that the the Believers in Messiah were called... Gotta Love It !

Grace is unmerrited favor. We get that from what Yeshua has done for us. We cannot do anything to deserve His Saving Grace... It is a FREE Gift... Without our Belief / Faith in Him, we stand on our own before Abba YHVH, and Torah Condems us.. John 1 teaches us that Yeshua is the Torah made Flesh, so by trying to follow God's Instructions (Torah) we are striving to walk as He did.. 1 John 2:6... And when we fail to follow, or we make a mistake, HIS Grace Abounds because we are His Children and He Love us, because we Trust in HIS Plan of Salvation... At the Cross, Yeshua only did away with the condemnation aspects of Torah for those who rely on Him for their Salvation... Sorry, I am so wordy... Just at home alone and sick... and my brain is buzzing with scripture right now... Shalom & Chesed, John

Divisions and Denominations

We all have the free right to choose how we live and believe, however I just believe if you are gonna base your life and beliefs on the teachings of a certain set of writings, shouldn't you try to follow all that applies today as much as possible ? The problem is our opinion of what is still applicable or not, and this fact is what causes all of the divisions, aka denominations... John

Invited to Supper

If G-D invited a Vegetarian Christian to come and eat at HIS Table, and HE served meat and wine, would the guest say Thank you and Eat and Drink or say No Thank you, I am a vegetarian and I don't drink? Would the later offend the Host?

Faith - Salvation - Grace - Works - Torah

When I am sharing with people about the Torah and that without Torah there is no knowledge of what sin is, it's hard for people to grasp this.

We need to understand that Faith came first with Abraham and the Covenant that G-D made with him. The Torah came 430 years later. Scripture says that Abraham believed G-D and it was credited him as righteousness, but as you will see in this study, works was also involved with his faith. Romans 4:3, Galatians 3:6&9, James 2:23.

People of today hear of someone keeping the Torah Instructions and they mistakenly think that this person is trying to achieve salvation by doing so.. Maybe there are some that are legalistically keeping the Torah, but I assure you.. I am NOT! We are not Saved by walking in the Ways of G-D's Torah instructions. We are only able to obtain Salvation through our belief in The Promise, that is, Yeshua (Jesus) as the Messiah, the Son of our Heavenly Father YHVH. Torah is G-D's Instructions about how HE wants us to live.

Look at the Israelites when they were about to be released or saved from the bondage in Egypt... They heard the Salvation message from Moses, they believed G-D's messenger and had Faith that He would save them from their bondage. They saw the signs and they obeyed G-D when they were told to take the Lamb's blood and put it on their door lintel and posts as a sign to the Destroying Angel to Pass over them and not put their first born to death. Because of this Faith, they were Saved and released from the bondage of Egypt. We also see that coupled with their Faith was Works, for if they had of just said that they believe and G-D's Grace has Saved them, then the Blood would not have been placed on the lintel and doorposts and the Destroying Angel would have visited their house and the 1st born would have died. After their Salvation came, they started their walk with G-D to the Promised Land and then 50 days after they left Egypt G-D gave them HIS Instructions or Laws and made a covenant with them.

These Instructions didn't give them Salvation, they contained the "Word" of G-D, which would instruct them in "Right"eous living.  Our Salvation is has always been and always will be by our Belief or Faith.  Remember, Faith (Emunah) is a verb, it requires action or it is incomplete.

I am not going to re-write the whole story because you can read it in the Bible, but if you read real close, you will see that the problem was not G-D's Torah (Instructions), but the Heart of Man.. Man has always been the problem, not G-D's Laws... And from my observation this point has not changed. Most men's hearts are still as hard as a rock and they are making the same choice as Cain and Baalam.

If you read the story of the woman caught in adultery and presented as a snare to entrap Yeshua,(John 8:3-11) you will see that by the Torah, she was to be put to Death... But, what you don't see is that these accusers were actually breaking the Law.. If they caught her in the act, that means that they also caught the man and the Torah states that the man is to be brought out and put to death also... So, aside from that, Yeshua knew that the accusers where guilty of the same thing that they were accusing her of, so this is why HE says "He who has no sin, let him cast the first stone" and what happens next is a big point that most don't see. He saved her and then told her to go and sin no more. To go and sin no more means go and observe the Torah and do what it says. Notice that Salvation, or Yeshua's saving GRACE (un-merited favor) came first to her, even though she deserved death, He saved her life with Grace first, then gave her the command to follow G-D's Torah and sin no more... What is Sin? The definition is in the Bible and very clear and easy for anyone to understand. 1 John 3:4


How does this apply to us today?

Bondage in Egypt represents our bondage to sin. Without G-D's Torah, we would not know how HE wants us to live and what HE expects out of those that are called by HIS Holy Name. John 1 tells us that Yeshua is the Word.. He is the Torah, brought to Life. Yeshua is the Torah in the Flesh. In all of His teachings while He was on earth, he expounded upon the Torah, he came to show us how to live in Him, the Living Way of the Almighty G-D, His Heavenly Father... Everything that He did was to the Glory of the Father, not himself. Yeshua is G-D's eternal Word and sadly, very few men wanted G-D's Word, instead, their Heart was filled with their tradition and disdain for the Truth. It is exactly the same today, man is blinded by tradition. He is blinded by the deceptive lies of the adversary (ha satan). Man is too busy, Man is too proud, Man is unwilling to change his ways in the Light of the Truth. They are not able to see that because they reject and teach against the Torah, they are rejecting and teaching against Yeshua as the Living Torah, The Word of G-D.. Didn't Yeshua say that He is the Way, the Truth and the Life and that no one can come to the Father, except through Him? If you look at the written Torah really close, you will see that within it's words is G-D's Way that He wants us and expects us to Live our lives for Him and includes the Truths of who HE is and what He has done for us and what He will do for us. It (Torah) also contains Life, because the man who keeps His Ways, will have a Life filled with the Joys of doing the Will of the Father in Heaven. Un-believers cannot see that by rejecting the Torah, they are rejecting G-D's Son, Yeshua. Remember what the name Yeshua means... It means Salvation...

By Keeping the Torah, or at least trying to do so, shows G-D that we Love Him and that we Honor HIM in our actions... He knows our heart's intent and the man or woman that accepts Yeshua as the Son of G-D, and tries to observe the instructions given in the Torah, then HIS Grace or unmerited favor will abound for this person, not because of his works, or efforts, but because of his Heart.. Because of his want to Love the L-RD with not only his heart, but with his actions also. The New or Re-Newed Covenant that G-D made with Isreal happened at Mt. Nebo (Deut. 29), because of their hard heart and the reality that man couldn't or wouldn't keep it, the 1st Covenant was broken, but G-D desired to make New the Covenant and give man the heart to do so. Notice Deut. 29:4; that until this New Covenant is made, man had not been given the heart to know, eyes to see, and the ears to hear.. Notice Deut. 30:6 that G-D will circumcise man's heart, this is part of G-D's Grace, to help us to be able to walk in HIS ways. So here again, we see Faith acted out in Works.. The New Covenant Heart Conversion is also spoke of in Jeremiah 31:33-34; Hebrews 8:10, and Hebrews 10:16. Some say that this was only given to the Jews, however Deut. 29:14-16 says otherwise. Notice the word "nations" in v.16, this is the word "Goy" which is translated into Gentiles. Also notice that the 1st Covenant was also given to not only the Jews (Israelites), but also Gentiles (Goy & Ger)... Exodus 12:38; 12:48-49; Lev. 24:22. So also, the New Covenant was given to both Jew & Gentile...

A good point to make at this time is the fact that when the 1st Covenant was given at Horeb, Moses ratified it with the blood of a young bull (Exodus 24:8), however at the giving of the New Covenant at Nebo, he didn't; because this covenant was ratified by the Shed Blood of Yeshua the Messiah. Some will also say that the Torah is too hard or not known, but in Deut. 30:11-14 it tells us that it is obtainable, within our reach and capacity to do so...

Finally, when you read Hebrews 11, you will see the example of many of G-D's people and how wherever their Faith was, there was also Action or Works... James 2:17-26 sums it up very well "Faith without Works is Dead"... So if we consider the Whole of Scripture, we see multiple examples of Faith, Salvation, Grace, & Works in G-D's Word... Torah...

G-D Says vs. Man says...

G-D says "Remember" (Exodus 20:8) but man says "Remember Not"... G-D says "Observe" (Exodus 31:14) but man says "Observe Not"... G-D says "Keep" (Deut. 30:10) but man says "Keep Not"... Yeshua says "Think Not" (Mat. 5:17), but man says "Think so"... Yeshua says "My Commandments are G-D's" (John 6:38;8:28) but man says they are not.. John says "abide in HIM and walk as HE walked" (1Jn 2:6), but man says abide in HIM and walk as you want.
