Re: Rejoicing In the Sabbath:
I can't believe this lasted 15 pages thus far.
If the Sabbath were important, then surely Paul would have mentioned it to at least some of the GENTILE churches in foreign lands where the sabbath keeping tradition of the jews was non existant. Yet Paul never tells any of those churches in his letters to keep the Sabbath out of some bondage to the OT commandments.
Its odd to me that you are so staunch in your opposition to so much tradition and pagan influenced nonsense that had become law in modern church, yet you seem oh so fine with using some of the same dishonest tactics those supporters have used in order to prop up your "pet" doctrine of sabbath keeping Aquila. They too would claim, just as you hav ethroughout this thread, that all others are just misinterpretting what the verses are really saying and claiming special revelation(you did say a page back that God "revealed" to you) and having a "secret decoder ring" that allows you to perfectly understand when the scripture is talking about God's law or Moses' law when it simply says Law.
If you feel compelled to keep Sabbath, then have at it. But to wrap it in all this pseudo theological gobbledygoop is nonsense. We esteem no day better than others. We are indeed dead to the law. The law was fulfilled once and for all. Nailed to a cross. The gentiles, which is us, were never commanded keep Sabbath according to the 10Commandments.
Such a stringent appeal for obediance to the Sabbath is peculiar. You would mock anyone claiming to be equally faithful to the tithe, and they would have just as many verses to use as you do. Yet there scripturs would be out of context, but yours just happen to all be perfectly applied right? Funnny how that works.
