Thoughts on the Sabbath

Genesis 2  1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.  2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.  3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made. Exodus 16:23  And he said unto them, This is that which the   Lord   hath said, To morrow is the rest of the holy sabbath unto the   Lord : bake that which ye will bake to day, and seethe that ye will seethe; and that which remaineth over lay up for you to be kept until the morning. Exodus 20:8-11  8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: 10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: 11 For in six days th

Holy Land Tour

  Many feel that it would be a great privilege to visit the scenes of Christ’s life on earth, to walk where He trod, to look upon the lake beside which He loved to teach, and the hills and valleys on which His eyes so often rested. But we need  not go to Nazareth, to Capernaum, or to Bethany, in order to walk in the steps of Jesus. We shall find His footprints beside the sickbed, in the hovels of poverty, in the crowded alleys of the great cities, and in every place where there are human hearts in need of consolation.  {MH 105.5} I am told that before finishing the life of Christ I ought to visit Jerusalem, the holy land. What made it holy? The Majesty of heaven clothed His divinity with humanity, and dwelt upon our earth. He was despised and rejected of men; in Jerusalem He was crucified by wicked hands. I have not the slightest inclination to visit Jerusalem, to see where it is thought probable that Jesus trod, where He may have labored, and where He may have been crucified. The mean

pre-fall vs post-fall nature

doesn't matter. because: adam, lucifer, fallen 1/3 of angels - they had pre-fall nature but because of wrong choice  committed sin moses, enoch, elijah - they had post-fall nature but because of grace/repentance they are fully saved we can be perfect and saved despite post-fall nature we can be lost despite pre-fall nature

God's Computer (2024)

  God's Computer: can save all men's thoughts for judging (Romans 2:16) In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel. a thought is snapshot of 100 billion neurons' 100 trillion connections. each of those 100T connections have dynamic range variation factor of 10 to 100 daw. so 1 byte is enough. 100B neurons has address space of 37 bits wide. ~168,192,000 thoughts in a lifetime. at 6k thoughts per day. ~117B humans have ever lived. = 19.68 quintillion thoughts times 100T synapses = 1.97 decillion synapse activation across all humans who have ever lived. times how many worlds (job 1:6)? Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them. that's just how much memory God's computer has to have to judge all thoughts of men. 

"is" vs "was" Perfection Conclusion

  brethren, maybe this will resolve all perfect debates "is perfect" vs "was perfect" was perfect: adam, lucifer , Noah , job , Asa is perfect: moses, Elijah , enoch how to be perfect? by grace thru faith , repentance . when to be perfect? between now and close of probation ( personal close of probation) do you know you're perfect? egw says cannot claim & cannot know ( struggling but not sinning ) until 2nd coming. perfection can be lost (via sin). perfection can / should be (re) gained ( repentance , grace, faith...) Jesus is perfect, was perfect, has always been Lucifer was perfect, could have become perfect again if he repented/repents but will never because of pride (of accepting he was wrong). We can be perfect by God's grace thru faith, not of ourselves it is the gift of God coz our works don't count to salvation as we were supposed to do good anyway all the time . if we commit sin (losing perfection), repentance puts us perfect wit
