    Simply wonderful!
    Especially the thoughts on resurrection in a Jewish context.

    Great stuff. Without resurrection there is no Holy Spirit, the Comforter as John calls him, Jesus in spirit. Faith and belief in resurrection grow as the moral aspect in you and in others confirms the Holy Spirit, reason turns to knowledge and proof, and why a true Christian is an example. Proof of God by the law of faith, the way God establishes a strong fellowship of equals, because God is not equal to us but will only share to those equalise to him through righteousness.

      Thank you Simon; that’s the kind of statement Ive been looking for about a true, rational Christian being evidence of the reality of the Divine (particularly Christ/Yahweh as you said). Ive been wanting to add this point to my list of evidences of God. (If youre unaware of the evolution developments I can send some videos, but it really is now as I write):
      “Evidence of God that still obtains *starting* from scientific monist physicalism:
      1. The collapse of evolution under scrutiny with information theory as an explanation of the origin of life or speciation. Any honest and educated look at the cambrian explosion shows a lot of information added from outside the system. There is no proposed mechanism capable of developing complexity (“To date, all point mutations have decreased information in the genome. Not one has ever added even a little information to the genome.” Dr Thayne) Top intellectuals routinely claiming evolution is dead (despite paying a price for it and being ignored). Other weird things like a mistake or experiment that gave a certain squid the most complex optical system, but no visual cortex, hardly a brain, absolutely no way to use the info, and other such. We have never witnessed coherent information without it being ultimately traceable to a mind. Seems possible that this genome info thusly originated.
      2. The initial values and fundamental constants are on a ridiculously unlikely knife-edge to the point that theoretical physicist Hoyle said “The only common sense interpretation of cosmology is that a super-intellect monkeyed around with the values to create something that functions.”
      3. The only thing you can verify with absolute certainty is awareness of phenomena. There is awareness occurring. Whether theres really phenomena or is a simulation or is made of light or is the mind of God or is a brain in a vat we dont know. The content of the awareness is coherent with multiple interpretations. But the content can never verify itself. We dont know. We have all been indoctrinated from birth with monist physicalism to such an extent we can’t imagine it not being true (like a fundamentalist with the qoran is certain), but evaluating with tests for truth it does very poorly. The God hypothesis should not start with the presumption that there is no God now lets use that lens to look for evidence of God. Scientific materialism has already answered so it cannot look objectively. But even with that view, the above two should make one question his initial assumptions.
      4. Nobody who spends thousands of hours in first-person focused observation comes back a monist. Yes that includes Buddha despite the undying lie that he was a monist. (Who believes in reincarnation somehow, lol). The longer one researches and observes and philosophizes: A. The less certain they are that we know what this is. B. The more sure they are that the answer is NOT scientific materialism.
      5. Developed from what you said. Add in something about the sheer unlikelihood of the Bible rocketing so far above all other books and remaining there, the historical improbability of Christian ubiquity.

      @@ibperson7765 5. It is even more stark than 'Christianity' from the bible, as the religion spread by a communal Spirit. The Holy Spirit is best represented by the community or church folk. Unfortunately in the UK where I live this now only applies looking at the older people, as State Socialism has taken over in recent years.
      EVOLUTION as a creative view is only an argument without proof, as in reality things adapt within built-in limits. However beware the 'Aunt Sally' arguments of Evolution, as it has the power of convenience, where those looking for a reason not to believe in Creation claim Evolution. They don't need proof but demand a Creationist prove them wrong, which brings us to the Anthropic Principles which mathematically rule out chance and Evolution, so the Creationists can rely on the power of reason.
      An 'Aunt Sally' which is hard to disprove is the sister argument to a 'Straw Man', and the convenience is no morality or final judgement.
      The phenomenon of Stratification by Layering which cannot be seen in mudflow, but the sorting of sedimentary rock by density and particle size is evident all over the world.

    Hebrews 4 shows Yeshua is our present rest. (The millennial kingdom could be considered another type of rest). The commands of the Sinai marriage covenant is ended and put to 'rest' as it were -- the death of the husband ends the covenant marriage, which occurred on the cross, with the ratification of the new covenant blood. Love is the command of the new covenant. This doesn't mean you cannot observe a weekly sabbath, just that it is not relevant to be redeemed and more often than not is a gateway to legalism (ie, hebrew roots movement, etc).
    Yeshua indicates the sabbath will be enforced under the rule of the false messiah, and the false prophet is seen renewing the old Sinai covenant in Rev 13, which is what the rabbis are expecting the prophet Elijah to do, in defiance of the new covenant as announced by Jeremiah who said it would not be like the Sinai covenant. For a deeper study of this see the post called "Anti-Elijah the false prophet of Revelation" and related posts that go even deeper on the blog linked atop my channel.

    Magnificent insight about love, “Love is the most complete form of knowing…” However, I’m not convinced that “Sabbath keeping is now theologically irrelevant…as in the gospels and Romans 14” (18:54-19:05). N.T. Wright seems to confuse Pharisaical “sabbath keeping” with the Sabbath of the old created order (Genesis 1:1-2:3).
    Pharisaical sabbath keeping was not biblically relevant nor loving as the LORD of the Sabbath taught and experienced (Mark 2: 23-3:6). In pointing this out, Jesus did not abolish the moral ordering of the Fourth Commandment. He went on to fulfill it.
    Later N.T. Wright helpfully observes that resurrection affirms the old created order (34:46-35:03). Isn’t “Sabbath” part of the old created order (Genesis 2:1-3)? Doesn’t the writer to the Hebrews affirm that Sabbath [sabbatismós] is part of the current order (Hebrews 4:9)?
