Shalom everyone, I'm Julian from New Zealand, 39yo. I got interested in Biblical Marriage after I was talking to some Mormon ladies about Polygyny about a year ago. I came across Pete Rambo's channel and got a lot of Red Pills from watching his videos.
I have recently renewed my faith in Christ. Although I do find it strange that Christians worship on Sunday and totally disregard the Sabbath. I'm 5% Jewish according to Ancestory.com so it's good to meet like minded Messianics.
I'm interested in doing homesteading off-grid and hopefully creating a community.
I recently did some courses on film making so I would be keen to create some film content dealing with Biblical Marriage.
If anyone is around the top of the South Island, pop in for a visit.
Welcome.
I can't necessarily speak broadly for why most Christians worship on Sunday rather than the Sabbath, but here is my take on the matter.
Our connection to God is through the Son, rather than the Law. The Law is from God and it is good and extremely beneficial, but our access to God is through the Son. The Son Himself has become our ultimate Rest. It's not that the first day replaced the seventh, rather Jesus the Christ Himself did.
Here is a passage from Romans 7 (nkjv version) that I find helpful in this matter.
1."Or do you not know, brethren (for I speak to those who know the law), that the law has dominion over a man as long as he lives? 2 For the woman who has a husband is bound by the law to
her husband as long as he lives. But if the husband dies, she is released from the law of
her husband. 3 So then if, while
her husband lives, she marries another man, she will be called an adulteress; but if her husband dies, she is free from that law, so that she is no adulteress, though she has married another man. 4 Therefore, my brethren, you also have become dead to the law through the body of Christ, that you may be married to another—to Him who was raised from the dead, that we should bear fruit to God. 5 For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions which were aroused by the law were at work in our members to bear fruit to death. 6 But now we have been delivered from the law, having died to what we were held by, so that we should serve in the newness of the Spirit and not
in the oldness of the letter."
Verse four particularly stands out.
"Therefore, my brethren, you also have become dead to the law through the body of Christ, that you may be married to another—to Him who was raised from the dead, that we should bear fruit to God."
The Law is from God. It is very good, but I'm no longer married to it. In fact I have become dead to it. Instead, I belong to the risen Son of God Himself. He is my Rest. He, rather than the Law has dominion over us.
It's like Jesus told the Samaritan woman about the location of worship. Jerusalem had been the proper place for worship, but now the time has come where we worship in Spirit and Truth. We worship God everywhere, and all the time.
