Bible Discussion Thread

Anyone have an exposition on Hebrews the 4th chapter? (Feel free to take a stab at it.) I'd like to know.

Hi , I always think that it's best to allow people to read and learn for themselves , especially for the first few times a person reads the Bible , I'm sure you are clever enough to get your head around everything if you are patient and persistent all will be revealed . I can only tell you what I believe , the "rest " I think is the one thousand year reign of Christ on earth when he returns . During this time , the resurrected saints , us , in other words , will be kings and priests and our job will be to serve God on earth , a bit like the Levites . This is the true Sabbath , we will be doing Gods will perfectly and not our own . I've put this as simply as I can without going into too much detail because I don't know where you are in your journey to the Truth . You can be sure that others on here will disagree with me and tell you what they think . May God bless your efforts .

Paul Describes the Word of God

Paul spoke about the Word of God in Hebrews Chapter 4, calling it sharp like a double-edged sword. He said that it is active and nothing is hidden from it. Everything is exposed and laid bare. Everyone is accountable for what they do.

Paul then spoke about Jesus who ascended to heaven and is now the High Priest. He explained that Jesus is the son of God, yet He is able to empathize with everyone's weakness and human nature because He became a man himself. Jesus Himself was tried and tested. He had the opportunity to commit sin just as everyone else has, but He chose to obey God.
