That was very useful, as ever, thank you, Tudor. The only bit that confused me somewhat was going along with goverments no matter who they are. Here in the UK, we're further along than most in the agenda to make digital ID mandatory. It's going to happen really soon. It has always been my plan to refuse it, which would be going against the authorities. If we take it (leaving aside that it will be used in due course to make people comply with the Beast's demands, whether people see it as a Catholic system or some of the others touted - I'm inclined to accept your analysis at this point) it's only a matter of time before they say you have to be up to date with 'vaccinations' (poison shots) to keep your digital wallet ticking over and have access to the necessities of life.
So I guess my question is, before the mark itself becomes an issue, according to your explanations, are you saying people should obey the government when it makes digital ID (and maybe injections) compulsory? At some point you have to say no to the authorities, surely?
Do whatever the government tells you to and submit to tyranny. So we should take any injection they demand? Wear filthy masks if they demand? Worship as they demand? Jab our children as they demand? Shutter the churches? Stay locked in our houses? Not gather in more than 10 people? Eat bugs? So in essence, eventually “take” the Mark of the Beast?
I know 2020, the government recruited “pastors” as FEMA clergy to preach just total compliance . I’m confused where the line is!
I am always confused why the appeal to like/subscribe/donate/otherwise support the effort is done in the beginning. People always have limited time and that would NOT be the time to get commitment.
At the end is where you have people who have stuck with it because they thought it had truth.
Because there's actually a YouTube algorithm metric that tracks if you like a video in the very beginning, and some people may forget to do that after hours of content or if they're watching in brakes and then they forget to come back and like the video. So there is good reason. Don't be confused, lots of people do these things.

You are very confused. Mark 2 has nothing to do with murder (6th commandment), it's actually about how to use right judgment and interpret the spirit of the law. So your statement about the 4th being broken to honor the 6th is nonsense.
By this argument every time God judged a nation and instructed people to murder the inhabitants means that the 6th commandment is situational also, because what you're arguing is essentially relativism.
God placed the tablets of commands in the ark and the book of the law outside the ark. The word law is used to mean one or the other and all the writers and Jesus uphold the moral law, of which the Sabbath is part of. It is not the 9 commandments, it is the ten commandments, and because the Sabbath is part of the other 9 it is the same category, which is morality.
But this offends you and you want any excuse to argue against something so simple so you find things that scratch your ears rather than listening to simple reason, because the consequence of giving God a day out of the week is too insulting to you. That's why this is a heart issue. It says "remember" for a reason.
It is a heart issue because this entire conversation has been an attempt to justify not keeping the Sabbath as it is instructed. First you cite to me some theologian that you feel justifies the Sabbath is not a moral law or basically relativistic or situational. Then you want to argue that you can pick any day and rest. Then you wanted to argue that people who are retired basically keep the Sabbath every day, or that people who work on Saturday should pick a different day. Now you're equivocating and saying that keeping the Sabbath is basically sitting around and doing nothing all day.
You are trying very hard to do this your own way because you have a heart issue.
I never said keeping the Sabbath is sitting around and "naval gazing" all day. In fact I told you as I have told others to keep it set apart. The Sabbath is supposed to be a delight. There are obvious things you need to abstain from, like working or commerce. There are things that are work that are not connected to your job, like chores, meal prep, organizing, etc. These are work and they can be done on other days. Besides that it is a matter of the conscience while respecting principles. Going out in nature, helping the poor, relaxing, spending more time in study, fellowship, etc. are all things to do on the Sabbath. It's a day of mindful rest. If that's such a problem for you that you need to create endless arguments against it then you have a heart issue.
For 2,000 years every theologian has agreed that there are 10 commandments and today you question whether the Sabbath is a moral law , and you are still here arguing and holding to your teeth to the chance that maybe you might be right, so that you can be excused from the burden (in your mind) of having to be responsible for it as a moral law.
Yes, it is a heart issue. Your constant insistence despite the fact I've given you my time and concern and evidence shows that it is a heart issue.
You are wrong that praying to Mary and taking the Eucharist is a heart issue. You do not understand what a heart issue is. Those are not heart issues, those are ignorance issues. There are many very well meaning Catholics and Orthodox who have a heart for God but are deceived, yet they think in their heart they are honoring God and Jesus by what they do. That's not a heart issue, it's an ignorance issue.
A heart issue is someone like you, fighting tooth and nail against something very simple. On the 7th day you will rest, so as to align with the Creator and Redeemer and through such obedience physically show your trust in the gospel and who provides for you. Take a day off, enjoy, mindfully rest and go outside, pray, have fellowship, etc. Is is really so hard Arnie? It's not, but it's hard for you to acquiesce because you have a heart issue. You do not want to be wrong. You want to be right, because if you're wrong it means you've fallen short. It means you have to give something. It means you have to be responsible. If you think killing and stealing and lying are wrong, then so is refusing to keep the Sabbath and rest mindfully with God on your mind one day out of the week, on the 7th day.
1 Corinthians 6:9 also doesn't mention murderers, people who dishonor their parents and people who blaspheme God. I guess they're safe by your logic! Of course not, because that verse is not a dissertation on the moral law. It is a reminder in fact that the moral precepts are still valid, so it supports my point - not yours.
The Sabbath was instituted at creation and therefore existed before the covenant with Moses. In fact it was reminded to the Israelites before Sinai, in the wilderness of Sin, where they kept the manna Sabbath. God refers to the Sabbath as one of His "statutes and laws" - but this is before the covenant. Oops. He also says Abraham kept ALL of His statutes and laws (same language). Noah also followed the 7 day pattern and the flood was on a Sabbath, which tells you this was transmitted down through the generations from Adam and Adam rested and told his children to rest.
Last but not least the book of the laws (ceremonial) was placed outside of the ark, while the tablets containing the 10 words (commandments) was placed inside the ark. Because the ark is a symbol of Christ, the eternal truth and word of God, morality is never changing as it is part of God's character.
Therefore you are wrong. The Sabbath has always been considered a moral command, whether we look in the 1500 years of the Old Testament or in the 2000 years of Church history. Even the RCC acknowledges the 10 commandments are binding, the issue is they claim tradition can reinterpret one of those commands. So you are wrong.
Your last paragraph about the pope is confusing and rambly. The pope will never tell you to keep the 7th day holy, because history clearly shows the papacy demonized those who kept the 7th day and enforced obedience to rest and cease from commerce on the 1st day, which is what will happen soon enough once more.
At the end of the day the command is very simple, it is your stubbornness and hard heartedness at this issue that has made it into a drawn out useless conversation where you are being contrarian for the hell of being contrarian. So I am done talking to you on this issue. Six days you shall work, on the seventh day is the Sabbath. Make it a delight. Keep it set apart. Abstain from obvious things like work and commerce. Abstain from things like chores and laundry and errands and things you normally do during the week. Increase mindfulness, gratitude practice, nature, fellowship, etc. etc. etc.
If such a simple thing makes you become a philosopher and split the issue into a thousand minutiae then you have a heart issue, because you refuse to give God that time every week and make time out of your week for physically experience His rest, which He has commanded as a moral imperative for your good.
The fact that you're commenting and have commented shows you are a paid subscriber. People have multiple emails so you were not signed in or you were signed in with a different email whenever you did what you did, otherwise you wouldn't be here chatting away why you shouldn't have to keep the Sabbath as it's written.
If someone is retired they still have to do laundry, clean, cook, errands, etc. do they not? So then you would still have a day that is set apart, restful, different and hallowed. If you work on Saturday because of your job, the thing to do is to try to re-arrange that situation. If it is impossible for whatever reason, then planning and working toward a situation where this would be possible (if that means finding a different job) would be ideal. There is grace for shortcomings. In the meantime, make that working day set apart by not adding to the burden when you come home with more errands or chores or whatever else, but rather enjoying the rest of the time as mindful rest and keeping it set apart.
The difference between Jesus feeding the apostles on the Sabbath and you redefining how the 4th commandment should be expressed in your life is that one is lawful while the other is lawless. Adam and Eve did rest on the 7th day, because God rested and ordained the Sabbath on that day. For all the major judgments on Sabbath and all the complaints God levied against Israel for not keeping the Sabbath, are you going to tell me that God did not make Adam and Eve rest and enjoy rest with Him on the 7th day? Even the RCC acknowledges that fact. The 7th day is a type for the eternal state and it is also a type for the 1st advent, where Jesus rested in the tomb for mankind, and those who "rest with Him" enter His rest. So the Sabbath is not just a moral command, it is intimately tied to the gospel. The sequence is what identifies you with the Creator and Redeemer, and that sequence is 6 days of work and on the 7th rest from work. It is a moral good to rest because you are obeying God and trusting in God and expressing this trust and obedience physically and objectively, hence it is a moral command. When Jesus said the Sabbath was made for man, it wasn't that the moral law could be redefined wherever you want it to be. "I will just rest on Wednesdays because that can be MY seventh day." No. He was revealing the spirit of the law, that the Sabbath is made for your good, not to be a burden as the Pharisees were doing with people. But that doesn't mean the Sabbath day was changed or that it's subjective. The entire principle that one law is subservient to another and therefore it's not a law or it's less than said law is flawed and relativistic. God is what defines what is good, and God's glory is the anchor of all morality and goodness. It glorifies God to kill the Canaanites for their evil, so the 6th commandment is "broken" to preserve the 1st. But that's not really what's happening. God in His executionary role is sharing that power with Joshua and they are Ex Lex, outside the law. The Sabbath is still the Sabbath, and breaking the Sabbath is a sin. But glorifying God is not, therefore rescuing your animal or another person, or helping the poor or healing the sick are lawful to do on the Sabbath because it is glorifying to God, aligns with the gospel and is good. Jesus was not breaking the Sabbath in favor of upholding another law. Jesus was showing how to use right judgment. If Jesus broke the Sabbath then you have no atonement, but that's not the case. In your situation, you are trying to justify something that is not in alignment with the 4th commandment, so your heart posture already is in the wrong direction. The Sabbath is not redefinable or flexible on different days. It is the 7th day. That's the prescription. If you happen to learn about the Sabbath and now it has caused friction because you work on the 7th day, good. Strive to create a life where you can rest on the 7th day. There is grace for shortcomings, but one day you will have to make a choice and it is better to get into the practice now than become complacent and gnostic like the rest of the Christian world that thinks "every day is the Sabbath" or "Jesus is my Sabbath" or "I can rest any day I want".
Of course they are. That's the point. The "man of lawlessness" decreed rest on Sunday, which is lawlessness disguised as the will of God, and those who partake and obey him at the end will refuse God's rest en lieu of finding rest in the word of Satan through his vicar, all while believing it is the word of God because of pretty metaphors and gnostic typology of the 8th day and the resurrection and whatever else. Satan used the pillar of the good news, Christ resurrecting, to create a day of worship for himself while disguising it as the will of God.
Until the time when this will be enforced there is grace for shortcomings and ignorance. People who rested on Sunday out of ignorance have not taken the mark or been damned. The point is that at some point, this will become an issue because Satan will enforce obedience. When this happens there is a short period of repentance to bring in the last elect before the bowl judgments drop, and then it will be judgment time. Our goal is to align with the truth until then and help others do so also, so they are not in danger of being deceived.
Once you understand how, out of all the commandments, the Sabbath is unique as a picture of the gospel, then many things become clear. Every commandment should be remembered, yet the 4th is the only one told you to "Remember" - because it will be forgotten.
Morality is objective and does not change, but the principle revealed by Christ is that the spirit of the law is to glorify God. God's glory is the highest good. Israelites broke the Sabbath by marching on Jericho, but they didn't break it because they were doing God's will. People think Jesus broke the Sabbath but He didn't, which is why He was always refuting the Pharisees on this very issue. They made the law into a burden but the Sabbath was about delighting in God and the gospel, not about cessation of all activity. When Israel was commanded to execute justice that's not breaking the 6th commandment, it's obeying the first. So there is always a matter of right judgment. If you have to work on Saturday then you should do everything you can to work towards shifting that to another day.
God's will for you is to rest on the 7th day from your works, as a sign that you align with the Creator and trust in the Redeemer, who rested for you. That means in general that day has to be a delight, set apart from the other days. No work, no commerce, no doing things that you normally do like meal prep or chores or errands. That is glorifying to God. In some situations, certain things may be required, like helping a friend in an emergency. In other situations, doing good things like helping the poor or sick is lawful and good. What matters is using right judgment. It's not about re-interpreting the law or relativism or one law canceling another. It is about learning to judge rightly according to what is required (rest from work, commerce, etc.), what life throws at you (certain situations) and what the over-arching principle is (glorifying God).
I don't know what you're responding to but using the Old Testament to justify taking arms and entering combat is misguided at best. Christ is sovereign and has also decreed for those to be persecuted and hunted down. Nothing in the letters to the seven churches to take up arms and resist what has been decreed, but rather to endure. Nothing wrong with running away, but if you believe the Freemason mantra put forward by Ben Franklin that resistance to tyranny is obedience to God then you have departed biblical truth. This is exactly what the NAR Christian nationalist delusion is fueled by. And the Old Testament God shared his executioner and judicial authority with kings and the state. In the New Testament all authority has been given to Christ and he reigns over all things so we don't have to be concerned with resisting tyranny or political upheavals or voting or any such thing. We have to be concerned with spreading the gospel, spreading the truth, and doing our best to help our neighbor and live in alignment with God's principles.
Thank you Tudor Excellent work as usual! 🫶🏽
That was very useful, as ever, thank you, Tudor. The only bit that confused me somewhat was going along with goverments no matter who they are. Here in the UK, we're further along than most in the agenda to make digital ID mandatory. It's going to happen really soon. It has always been my plan to refuse it, which would be going against the authorities. If we take it (leaving aside that it will be used in due course to make people comply with the Beast's demands, whether people see it as a Catholic system or some of the others touted - I'm inclined to accept your analysis at this point) it's only a matter of time before they say you have to be up to date with 'vaccinations' (poison shots) to keep your digital wallet ticking over and have access to the necessities of life.
So I guess my question is, before the mark itself becomes an issue, according to your explanations, are you saying people should obey the government when it makes digital ID (and maybe injections) compulsory? At some point you have to say no to the authorities, surely?
This was another excellent episode and again it helped me understand a lot of things especially the parts regarding legalism.
Romans 13 is confusing to me.
Do whatever the government tells you to and submit to tyranny. So we should take any injection they demand? Wear filthy masks if they demand? Worship as they demand? Jab our children as they demand? Shutter the churches? Stay locked in our houses? Not gather in more than 10 people? Eat bugs? So in essence, eventually “take” the Mark of the Beast?
I know 2020, the government recruited “pastors” as FEMA clergy to preach just total compliance . I’m confused where the line is!
When the government is contrary to God's laws then the laws and policies are not to be obeyed. That's where the line is.
I am always confused why the appeal to like/subscribe/donate/otherwise support the effort is done in the beginning. People always have limited time and that would NOT be the time to get commitment.
At the end is where you have people who have stuck with it because they thought it had truth.
Because there's actually a YouTube algorithm metric that tracks if you like a video in the very beginning, and some people may forget to do that after hours of content or if they're watching in brakes and then they forget to come back and like the video.

It is about learning to judge rightly according to what is required (rest from work, commerce, etc.), what life throws at you (certain situations) and what the over-arching principle is (glorifying God).
I don't know what you're responding to but using the Old Testament to justify taking arms and entering combat is misguided at best. Christ is sovereign and has also decreed for those to be persecuted and hunted down. Nothing in the letters to the seven churches to take up arms and resist what has been decreed, but rather to endure. Nothing wrong with running away, but if you believe the Freemason mantra put forward by Ben Franklin that resistance to tyranny is obedience to God then you have departed biblical truth. This is exactly what the NAR Christian nationalist delusion is fueled by. And the Old Testament God shared his executioner and judicial authority with kings and the state. In the New Testament all authority has been given to Christ and he reigns over all things so we don't have to be concerned with resisting tyranny or political upheavals or voting or any such thing. We have to be concerned with spreading the gospel, spreading the truth, and doing our best to help our neighbor and live in alignment with God's principles.
